The Group has reported an unaudited consolidated profit of BGN 13.3 million compared to a profit of BGN 24.5 million in Q3 2017.
In January 2018 the process to increase EIG capital by BGN 195.6 million (EUR 100 million) was completed, a decision that has been voted back in 2015. The amount of this increase has been fully paid in and registered with the Trade Registry as well. In addition a decision has been voted at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of Euroins Insurance Group on 4 October 2018 to increase the capital of the Group from BGN 483,445,791 to BGN 543,445,791 by way of issuing 60,000,000 ordinary, registered, materialized, non-privileged shares, with nominal and issue value of 1 (one) Bulgarian lev per share, with 1 (one) voting right in the general meeting of the shareholders, dividend right and liquidation quota.

These funds are available and will be used to support the subsidiaries including through increase of their share capitals.
At the end of the quarter a Group corporate governance plan was initiated. Based on good practices, risk management and improved reporting it is in the context of a shared operational and IT environment. The aim is to achieve management synergies and to improve the Group corporate governance so that it will lead to qualitative and quantitative progress – from the very main elements (products, sales, claims) through reporting, control and quality of the actuarial calculations and work.
In the first nine months of 2018 Euroins Bulgaria has reported total GWP of BGN 120.6 million compared to BGN 104.5 million written in 2017. The reason for this growth of more than 15% is the direct insurance business written through brokers both locally in Bulgaria and in Greece, Italy and Spain according to the EU directive for Freedom of services. MTPL line of business grows but so do also main non-motor lines such as Health (57%), Accident and Travel (21%), Cargo (1%).
Net claims incurred are up by 6.2%. The reason is the growth of the business. Net earned premiums have increased by more than 20% for the period.
An increase in the administrative expenses has been reported compared to the same period of 2017. Firstly, these are the expenses associated with the growth of the business. Next are the substantial final costs related to the IFRS and Solvency II audits that also have their impact. Because of the new regulatory requirement, the statements of the insurance companies must be now signed off by two audit firms. There are also the significant costs associated with the new regulatory requirements of Solvency II.
Despite this Euroins Bulgaria has reported a profit for group purposes of BGN 1,412 thousand compared to BGN 168 thousand in Q3 2017.
The improved financial condition of the company has been also confirmed by the updated Long-Term Claims Paying Ability Rating assigned by BCRA, Credit rating Agency, in January 2018. The assigned rating is "BBB-" with outlook updated to Stable confirming the improvement.
All the circumstances above would help the management of Euroins Bulgaria in focusing on the challenges waiting in 2018 and 2019, which are the introduction by way of enactment of the bonus malus system on the local MTPL insurance market and the establishment of an insurance branch in Greece.
The bonus malus system has been already part of the underwriting policy of Euroins Bulgaria since 2012. But so far, the company has applied it only on drivers that are either current or former clients. With the introduction of the system on the entire market Euroins Bulgaria will be in position to perfect it and apply its conservative underwriting approach to all its clients and thus improve its technical result.
In the first nine months of 2018 Euroins Romania has written total GWP of BGN 300 million compared to BGN 372 million in 2017. The decrease is a result of the stabilization of the Romanian MTPL market after two years of significant increase of the average premium. Unlike the Motor business the major non-Motor lines of business such as Liability (36%), Accident (14%), Property (8%) and Cargo (3%).
Net claims incurred grow as result of increase in the number of reported claims. At the same time there is a decrease in the average reported claim.
Acquisition costs have registered significant decrease of 10% with the reason being the decrease in the written business. Administrative expense has registered slight increase compared to the same period of 2017 but there currently certain initiatives underway to optimize several processes related not only to the administrative management but also to processes that are yet to benefit activities such as claims handling and internal controls.
As a result, this is another quarter for Euroins Romania where it can be witnessed the positive effect of the re-segmentation combined with the strengthening of the reserves in 2015. Subsequently the profit for group purposes rises to BGN 11.3 million before tax.
At the beginning of 2018 Euroins Romania has received the final regulatory approval for the acquisition of the insurance portfolio of ATE Insurance, a Romanian general insurer. It consists of non-Motor business only. The transaction is part of the long-term strategy of Euroins Romania to increase the share of the non-Motor business of the company.
In Q3 2018 gross premiums written by Euroins Macedonia have registered a growth of over 17% reaching BGN 15.9 million. Main business lines that grow are Cargo by 10%, Motor Hull – 6.2%, MTPL – 4%, Property – 4%.
Net claims incurred have increased because of the business growth but in the same period net earned premiums have grown by more than 27%.
Because of the ongoing initiatives of the management of the company administrative costs have registered a decrease of 6%.
The result of the above is a profit for group purposes of BGN 1,053 thousand compared to BGN 223 thousand in 2017.
In the first nine months of 2018 Euroins Life has written total GWP of BGN 1.4 million registering growth of more than 20% compared to Q3 2017.
The management of the company is currently reviewing the products on offer. In addition the company also started offering on the market new life insurance solutions including online sales solutions. These initiatives, however, are still at the very beginning with the positive portfolio effect yet to be seen.
On 12 August 2016 Euroins Insurance Group has completed the acquisition of PJSC HDI Strakhuvannya Insurance Company. On 30 September the General Assembly of the Shareholders voted the company's name to be changed to PJSC Euroins Ukraine Insurance Company. The company writes both motor and non-motor business.
In Q3 2018 gross written premiums amount to BGN 12.3 million, which is a growth of more than 79%. Over 30% of the written business has been non-Motor. Because of the administrative and acquisition costs related to the current ongoing restructuring of the company Euroins Ukraine has reported a loss for Group purposes of BGN 1,366 thousand.
The previous name of Insurance Company EIG Re EAD has been HDI Insurance AD. Euroins Insurance Group has acquired the company at the end of 2015. For the first nine months of 2018 EIG Re has written gross premiums of BGN 12.1 million showing growth of more than 10%. The profit for Group purposes amounts to BGN 323 thousand.
With a decision voted back in October 2016 Euroins - Health Assurance was to be merged into EIG Re. The documentation required for the regulatory approval has been submitted to the Financial Supervision Commission on 31 January 2017.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD as a holding company does not carry out regular commercial transactions, and in this respect, its main (operating) revenues are of a financial nature, as the most significant of them - revenues from financial operations occur in different reporting periods and do not have a permanent occurrence. In this respect, investors and stakeholders should read this individual report together with the consolidated statement giving a clear and complete picture of the results, financial situation and prospects for the development of the Eurohold Group.
As of 30th of September,2018 Eurohold Bulgaria AD reported the negative financial result on standalone base in amount of BGN 13.1 million versus a loss of BGN 12.5 million for the comparable period last year.

For the observed period the operating expenses increased by 1.9% as amounted to BGN 15.8 million compared to BGN 15.5 million as of 30.09.2017. The expenses growth was due to the increased interest expenses by BGN 1.4 million during the current period, while all other financial expenses decreased significantly (by BGN 1.2 million totally), as well as the losses from operations with financial instruments. All other operating expenses of the company are reduced or remained at the same level as the reported in the comparable period.
As of 30th of September 2018 the company's assets increased by 3% and amounted to BGN 574.9 million compared to BGN 557.9 million as of the end of 2017.
The increase in assets is due to an increase in investments in subsidiaries by BGN 10.4 million, as well as due to the increased current assets by BGN 6.6 million.
In the past nine months Eurohold Bulgaria AD has invested in its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, in two directions:
During the reporting period, the current assets increased significantly mainly due to the increase of receivables from related parties by BGN 5.2 million and increased other receivables by BGN 1.2 million.
The total equity amounted to BGN 323.1 million, decreasing by the reported loss in the first nine months of the current year. For comparison, as at 31.12.2017, the equity of Eurohold Bulgaria amounted to BGN 338 million.

For the period the non-current liabilities increased by 17.7% or BGN 29.2 million. The growth of non-current assets is due to an increase in the amount of Eurobonds (EMTN Program) from BGN 141.5 million to BGN 154.8 million, as well as due to the increase in the amount of loans received from financial and non-financial institutions from BGN 21.1 million as of 31.12.2017 to BGN 37 million in the current period.

Over the last few years, economists from different countries have been united around the thesis that the prosperity of the world economy depends on all the big ones as well as on a growing number of developing and smaller players. Issues of aging populations in all parts of the world, instability in energy and agricultural products prices, unequal distribution of income among members of the population and the risk of systematic global financial fluctuations are central topics for discussion in many international forums. These trends are inextricably linked with the Bulgarian macroeconomic environment and have a constant influence on the results of the local companies and their future development. Another outstanding issue is the excessive exhaustion and neglect of the importance of using limited global resources. Against the backdrop of these facts, economists are united around the thought that ultimately the change in the way in which global business operates will be dictated and imposed by the worsening environment and the reduction of beneficial opportunities for single entrants. The exit from the realization of certain risks related to the international environment will depend to a large extent on the previously established plans and the preventive measures of individual states and international institutions as evidenced by the last global economic crisis. The risk of the impact of the international environment on firms can not be diversified and affects all players, but on the other hand it can become an engine for innovation development and implementation that dramatically changes and increases business efficiency on a global scale.
The macroeconomic situation and the economic growth in Bulgaria and Europe are of main importance for the development of the Eurohold Bulgaria AD, and this includes also the governmental policies of the respective countries, and in particular the regulations and decisions made by the respective Central Banks, which influence the monetary and interest rate policy, exchange rates, taxes, GDP, inflation, budget deficit and foreign debt, the unemployment rate and the income structure.
Potential internal risk remains the theoretical liberalization of fiscal policy, which would lead to a serious further increase in the deficit and violation of the currency board principles.
Macroeconomic risks include: The political one; the credit risk of the state; inflation, currency and interest rate risk; emerging market risks and the risks associated with the Bulgarian securities market.
The political risk reflects the influence of the political processes in the country on the economic and investment process and in particular on the return on investments. The degree of political risk is determined by the likelihood of changes in the unfavorable direction, of the government led long-term economic policy, which may have a negative impact on investment decisions. Other factors related to this risk are the possible legislative changes concerning the economic and investment climate in the country.
The Republic of Bulgaria is a country with political and institutional stability based on contemporary constitutional principles such as a multiparty parliamentary system, free elections, ethnic tolerance and a clear system of separation of powers. Bulgaria is a member of NATO and since 1 January 2007 is a member of the European Union (EU). The desire for European integration, the presence of a dominant political formation, the pursuit of strict fiscal discipline and adherence to moderate deficits, create predictability and minimize political risk.
In market economy countries, unemployment is recognized as a social risk on the labor side. As a socially assessed risk, unemployment is subject to compulsory social security and benefits under certain conditions. The overall activity on the formation and implementation of the state policy on unemployment insurance, as well as the promotion and support of the unemployed, when seeking and starting work and / or other type of economic activity, gives the content of the process of management of this social risk.
According to the latest published NSI data, the unemployment rate in the country for the second quarter of 2018 was 5.5% or 0.8 percentage points lower than the second quarter of 2017. The number of people without work equals 182.2 thousand people or is reported a reduction in the number of unemployed by 31.7 thousand people compared to the second quarter of 2017. Over the same period, the unemployment rate decreased by 0.8 percentage points for men and 1.0 percentage points for women. Of the total number of unemployed persons, 109.8 thousand (60.3%) are men 72.4 thousand (39.7%) - women. Of all unemployed persons 13.61% have higher education, 49.1% - with an average, and 37.3% - with basic or lower education. Unemployment rates by grade of education is 2.4% for higher education, 4.8% for secondary education and 20.5% for basic education and lower education.
The credit risk is the possibility for deterioration of the international credit ratings of given country. The low credit ratings of the country might lead to higher interest rates, tougher financing conditions for the economic subjects, including Eurohold and its economic group.
On 01.06.2018, the rating agency Fitch Ratings consolidated the outlook for the credit rating of Bulgaria as stable. The agency raised Bulgaria's long - term credit rating from "BBB-" to "BBB" in foreign and local currency and confirmed BBB + rating ceiling as well as the short-term credit rating in foreign and local currency "F2". The confirmation of the prospect as stable, reflects Fitch Ratings' assessment of the positive development of Bulgaria's external sector. The prolonged period of constant decline of the ratio of external debt to GDP and positive current account trends, have led to a better representation of Bulgaria's external finances compared to the countries of the rating group "BBB". Compared to other countries with a similar rating, Bulgaria's public finance performance indicators positively influence the upgrading of the rating. The State debt to GDP ratio will continue to decline below that of other "BBB" rating countries.
On 01.06.2018, S&P Global Ratings rated the credit rating outlook of Bulgaria as positive. At the same time, the agency has increased both long-term and short-term credit rating in foreign and local currency "BBB- / A-3". The confirmed perspective for Bulgaria's credit rating reflects the expectations of S&P Global Rartings that its fiscal and external indicators will continue to improve and the authorities will take further steps to strengthen the financial sector where the level of non-performing loans remains high. The agency notes that in 2018 the economic recovery of the country will continue with the growing contribution of domestic demand to net exports. Improvements are reflected in the labor market, thus increasing disposable income and private consumption. Public investment funded through European funds will also be an important factor for economic recovery. At
the same time, Bulgaria continues to feel structural limitations from demographic challenges. Net emigration, especially in the skilled labor force and the aging population represent challenges to economic policy development and to the opportunities for social cohesion.
The inflation risk is related to the possibility of inflation influencing the real return of investments. The main risks associated with the inflation forecast refer to the dynamics of international prices and the rate of economic growth in Bulgaria. International commodity prices may increase more significantly as a result of political crises or increased demand. The limited supply of certain agricultural commodities, especially of cereals, internationally, in connection with adverse climatic events, may additionally cause higher inflation in the country.
With the recovery of domestic demand, higher relative consumer prices of services are expected compared to food and non-food goods. According to the Ministry of Finance forecast for macroeconomic indicators by 2020, the growth rate of the economy is expected to slow down gradually and the projected average growth for the period 2017-2020 to amount to 2.0%. Inflation might influence the expenses of the Company, since quite a big portion of the company's liabilities are interest-bearing. Their servicing is related to the current interest rates which reflect the inflation level in the country. That is why keeping low inflation levels in the country is considered as a significant factor for the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD.
At the moment and as a whole, the currency board mechanism provides guarantees that inflation in the country will remain under control and will have no adverse effect on the country's economy, and in particular on the Company's activities.
Given this, every investor should well understand and take into account both the current levels of inflation risk and future opportunities for its manifestation.
This risk is related to the possibility for depreciation of the local currency. Specifically for Bulgaria this is the risk of untimely cancelation of the conditions of the Currency Board at fixed national currency exchange rate. Considering the policy adopted by the government and the Bulgarian National Bank, it is expected for the Currency Board to be maintained until entering of the country in the Eurozone.
Each considerable depreciation of the Bulgarian Lev might have a considerable unfavorable effect on the economic subjects in the country, including the Company. Risk exists also when the income and costs of an entity are formed in different currencies. Exposure of the economic entities operating on the territory of Bulgaria to the US dollar, which is the main currency of a significant part of the world markets for raw materials and products, is particularly pronounced.
Changes in the different exchange rates did not materially affect the Company's operations until controlling interests were acquired in the countries of Romania, Macedonia and Ukraine. The financial results of these companies are denominated in local currency, Romanian leya (RON), Macedonian denarius (MKD) and Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH), the exchange rate of which is almost freely determined on the local currency market. Consolidated revenue of Eurohold Bulgaria AD will be exposed to currency risk depending on the movement of these currencies against the Euro.
The interest risk is related to the possibility for change in the predominating interest levels in the country. Its influence is related to the possibility for decrease in the net income of the companies as a result of the increased interest rates, at which the Company finances its activity. Interest rate risk is included in the category of macroeconomic risks due to the fact that the main precondition for a change in interest rates is the emergence of instability in the financial system as a whole. This risk can be managed through balanced use of different sources of financial resource. A typical example of the emergence of this risk is the global economic crisis caused by the liquidity problems of large mortgage institutions in the United States and Europe, with the result that interest rate credit risk rewards were rethought and increased globally. The effect of this crisis had a tangible manifestation in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, expressed in limiting free access to borrowed funds.
All other conditions equal, the increase in interests would reflect on the cost of the financial resource used by the Eurohold Bulgaria AD for the realization of different business projects. Moreover, it can influence the amount of expenses of the company, since quite a big portion of the company's liabilities are interest-related and their servicing is related to the current interest rates.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD is a holding company and an eventual worsening of operating results, financial position and perspectives for development ofits subsidiaries might have a negative effect on the operating results and the financial position of the company.
As far as the activity of the Company is related to the management of the assets of other companies, it cannot be related to a specific sector from the domestic economy and it is exposed to the sectoral risks of the subsidiaries. In general, the companies in the group of Eurohold Bulgaria AD operate in two main sectors: the financial sector, including insurance, leasing, investment intermediation and the car sales sector.
The main risk related to the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is the ability to reduce the sales revenue of the companies in which it participates. It influences the dividends received. In this regard, this might influence the growth of company revenue, as well as the change in profitability.
The greatest risk is concentrated in the insurance sector where the significant part of the group's revenue is generated. The companies with the largest share in the revenues, respectively - in the financial results of the insurance field are the companies operating in the Bulgarian and Romanian market, part of the group of Euroins Insurance Group AD.
The main risk in the leasing business is the ability to provide at an affordable price a sufficient financial means to expand the leasing portfolio and to provide the financing of the rented car rental services (rent-a-car services). The leasing Sub-Holding "Eurolease Group" EAD has issued a bond issue registered for trading on BSE-Sofia AD. The leading company of the leasing sub-holding "Eurolease Auto" EAD has issued bond issues, registered for trading on BSE-Sofia AD.
The Automotive Sub-Holding "Avto Union" AD operates mainly in the sphere of sale of new cars, warranty and after-sales service of cars, sale of spare parts and oils. The activity is directly dependent on the availability of permits and authorizations granted by the respective car manufacturers to the companies of the Auto Union AD group. Termination or revocation of such rights may abruptly reduce sales of the car group. This is particularly relevant in the context of the global restructuring of the automotive industry. The business environment in the automotive industry is also influenced by purely internal factors related to the purchasing power of the population, access to finance, business mood, stock availability and other.
The financial direction of the group is presented by the investment intermediary Euro-Finance AD. The risk in the financial intermediation and asset management sector is related to the high volatility of debt and capital markets, changes in the financial sentiment and investment culture of the population.
Deteriorated results of one or more subsidiaries could lead to a deterioration of the results on a consolidated basis. This in turn, is related to the price of the Company's shares, as the share market price reflects the business potential and the assets of the economic group as a whole.
The future profits and economic value of the Eurohold Bulgaria AD depend on the strategy selected by the senior management of the company and its subsidiaries. Selecting an inappropriate strategy might lead to considerable losses.
Eurohold Bulgria AD tries to manage the risk of strategic errors through continuous monitoring of the different stages upon implementation of its marketing strategy and the results thereof. This is extremely important, so that they can react in a timely manner, in case a change in the strategic development plan is needed at a certain stage. Untimely or inappropriate changes to the strategy may also have a significant negative effect on the company's operations, operating results and financial condition.
The risks related to the management of the company are the following:
• making wrong decisions about the current management of investments and the liquidity of the company, both on the part of the senior management and the operating officers of the Company;
• inability of the management to start the implementation of the projects planned or lack of suitable management for specific projects;
• risk of excessive increase in the expenses for management and administration, which leads to a decrease in the total profitability of the company.
The financial risk is the additional uncertainty with regard to the investor in obtaining income, when the company uses borrowed or borrowed funds. This additional financial insecurity adds to the business risk. When part of the funds used for financing of the activity of the company are in the form of loans or debt securities, the repayment of these funds represents a fixed liability. The financial autonomy and financial indebtedness indicators take into account the ratio between own funds and attracted funds in the capital structure of the company. The high level of the financial autonomy ratio, respectively the low level of the financial indebtedness ratio, is a kind of guarantee to investors for the company's ability to pay its long-term liabilities on a regular basis. The indicators show how much of the total capital represents the attracted funds. The larger the share of long-term debt compared to equity, the greater the probability of problems with the payment of fixed obligations. The increase in the value of this indicator also shows an increase in the financial risk. Another set of indicators refers to the revenue stream that makes it possible to pay the Company's liabilities. An indicator that can be used is the coverage ratio of the fixed
interest payable (interest). This indicator shows how many times fixed interest payments are included in the value of earnings before interest payments and taxation. It gives a good indication of the company's ability to pay its long-term liabilities. The effect of using borrowed funds (debt) to increase the final net income attributable to shareholders is called financial leverage. The benefit of financial leverage occurs when the company benefits from the attracted funds more than the costs (interest) on attracting them. The risk indicator in this case is the degree of financial leverage, which is expressed as the ratio of the income before interest and taxes to the income before the payment of taxes, the so called interest rate burden. The acceptable or "normal" degree of financial risk depends on business risk. If there is a small business risk for the firm, it may be expected that investors would agree to take a higher financial risk and vice versa.
As a whole, the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria does not generate currency risk due to the current currency board and the fixing of the national currency to the euro. Currency risk exists for the Group's investments abroad, mainly from the insurance sector in Romania, Macedonia and Ukraine, and a leasing line in Romania and Macedonia.
The liquidity risk is related to the possibility that Eurohold Bulgaria AD, is not able to repay its liabilities in the amount agreed and/or within the stipulated deadline. The presence of good financial indicators of profitability and capitalization of a certain company does not guarantee the smooth coverage of current payments. Liquidity risk might occur in case of late customer payments.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD strives to minimize this risk through optimal cash flow management within the group itself. The Group applies an approach which should provide the liquid resource needed to cover the liabilities which have occurred from normal or exceptional conditions, without realizing unacceptable losses or damaging the reputation of the separate companies and the business group as a whole.
The companies are making financial planning to meet the expenses and their current liabilities for a period of thirty days, including the servicing of financial obligations. This financial planning minimizes or totally excludes the potential effect of emerging extraordinary circumstances.
The management of Eurohold Bulgaria AD supports the efforts of the subsidiaries in the group to attract bank resources for investments and to use the opportunities that this type of financing provides for the provision of working capital. The volumes of these borrowed funds are maintained at certain levels and are allowed after proof of economic efficiency for each company.
The policy of the Company's management is aimed at raising financial resources from the market in the form of mainly equity securities and debt instruments (bonds) to invest in its subsidiaries by granting them loans to finance their own projects. The raised funds are also used for capital increases of subsidiaries.
The relationships with related parties result from contracts for temporary financial assistance for the subsidiaries and transactions related to the ordinary commercial activity of the subsidiaries.
The risk of possible realization of transactions between the companies in the Group, under conditions which differ from the market conditions, is the risk of achieving low profitability from the provided inter-group financing. Another risk which may be assumed is not obtaining enough revenue from the inter-group commercial transactions, and subsequently not making good profit for the respective company. On a consolidated level, this might have a negative impact on the profitability of the whole group.
Within the Group are performed transactions between the Parent Company and the subsidiaries, as well as between the subsidiaries themselves, which originate from the nature of their main activity. All transactions with related parties are made under conditions which do not differ from the usual market prices and in compliance with IAS 24.
Eurohold Bulgaria AD operates through its subsidiaries, which means that its financial results are directly dependent on the financial results, development and prospects of the subsidiaries. One of the main goals of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is to realize significant synergy between its subsidiaries as a consequence of the integration of the three business lines insurance, leasing and car sales. Poor results of one or several subsidiaries could lead to a deterioration in financial results on a consolidated basis. This in turn is also related to the share price of the Company, which may change as a result of the investors' expectations about the company's prospects.
The elements through which the Group manages risks, are directly related to specific procedures for prevention and solving any problems in the operations of EuroHold in due time. These include current analysis in the following directions:
Upon occurrence of unexpected events, the incorrect evaluation of current market tendencies, as well as many other micro- and macroeconomic factors could impact the judgment of management. The single way to overcome this risk is work with experienced professionals, maintain and update of fully comprehensive database on development and trends in all markets of operation.
The Group has implemented an integrated risk management system based on the Enterprise Risk Management model. The risk management process covers all the Group's organizational levels and is aimed at identifying, analyzing and limiting risks in all areas of the Group's operations. In particular, the Group minimizes insurance risk through proper selection and active monitoring of the insurance portfolio, matching the duration of asset and liabilities as well as minimizing F/X exposure. An effective risk management system
allows the Group to maintain stability and a strong financial position despite the ongoing crisis on the global financial markets.
Risk management in the Group aims to:

The interim consolidated financial statements of Eurohold Bulgaria AD are prepared in compliance with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), interpretations of the Standing Interpretation Committee (SIC), interpretations of the IFRS interpretation committee (IFRIC), which are effectively in force and are adopted by the Commission of the European Union.
The Group has considered all standards and interpretations applicable to its activity as at the date of preparation of the present financial statement.
The interim consolidated financial statement is drafted in compliance with the historic cost principle, excluding those financial instruments and financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value. The report are drafted in accordance with the principle of going concern, which assumes that the company will continue to operate in the near future.
The group keeps on presenting the information in the financial statements during the periods. Whenever needed, comparative data are reclassified in order to achieve comparability between the changes in the presentation for the current year.
Consolidated financial statements comprise consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity as at 30.9.2018.
These statements comprise the holding – parent company and all subsidiaries. A subsidiary is consolidated by the parent company through the direct or indirect holding of more than 50% of the voting shares in the capital or through the ability to manage its financial and operational policy for the purposes of obtaining economic benefits from its operations.
The method of full consolidation is applied. Statements are aggregated line by line, and items such as assets and liabilities, properties, income and expenses are summed up. All internal transactions and balances between the group companies are eliminated. Opposing elements: equity, financial, trade, calculation of goodwill as at the date of acquisition, are eliminated.
Non-controlled participation in the net assets of subsidiaries is defined in accordance with the shareholding structure of such subsidiaries as at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
With regard to business combinations comprising group entities or business subject to joint control, the Group has chosen to apply the purchase method in accordance with IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. The Group has chosen the accounting policy with regard to these transactions, as for the time being they do not fall within the scope of application of IFRS 3 and the existing IFRSs do not provide any guidance to this effect. In accordance with IAS 8, when there is no standard or interpretation that are particularly application to an operation, another vent or condition, the management uses its own judgments to develop and apply the accounting policy.
Business combinations are accounted by using the purchase method. This method requires the investor to recognize the acquired identifiable assets, undertaken liabilities and the participation, which is not a control in the investee, separately from the goodwill as at the date of acquisition. Expenses that are directly related to the acquisition are stated in the statement of profit or loss for the period.
Acquired identifiable assets and undertaken liabilities and contingent liabilities in a business combination are measured at fair value at the date
of acquisition, irrespective of the level of noncontrolled participation. The Group is able to measure participations, which are not control in the investee either at fair value, or as a proportionate share in the identifiable net assets of the investee.
The excess of the acquisition price over the share of the investor in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the investee is stated as goodwill. In case the acquisition price is less than the investor's share in the fair value of the net assets of the company, the difference is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Separately recognised goodwill with regard to the acquisition of subsidiaries is always tested for impairment at least once a year. Goodwill impairment losses are not subsequently reimbursed. Profits or losses from sale (disposal) of a subsidiary by the Group also comprise the book value of the goodwill deducted for the sold (disposed) company.
Recognised goodwill is affiliated to a specific cash inflow generating unit yet at the realization of a business combination, and such unit is applied for the impairment tests. When defining the cash flow generating units, the Group takes into account the units that have been expected to generate future economic benefits upon the acquisition through the business combination, and with regard to which the goodwill has occurred.
The Group treats the operations with noncontrolling participation as transactions with entities holding Group's equity instruments. The effects from sale of shares of the parent company, without losing control, to the holders of non-controlling participations are not treated as elements of the current profit or loss of the Group, but as movement within the components of its equity. And vice versa, upon purchases by the parent company, without acquiring control, of additional shares in the participation of holders of non-controlling participations, every difference between the amount paid and the respective acquired share from the book value of the subsidiary's net assets is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of equity, usually as "retained earnings/ (non-covered loss)".
When the Group does not have control and significant influence any more, every minority investment remaining as a share in the capital of the respective company is revaluated at fair value, and the difference up to the book value is recognised in the current profit or loss, whereas all amounts recognised before in other elements of the comprehensive income, are stated as like as for operation of direct disposal of all associated to the initial investment (in the subsidiary or associate), respectively.
The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the functional and reporting currency of the group. Data presented in the consolidated statements and the annexes thereto are in thousand BGN (000'BGN). Since 1 January 1999, the Bulgarian Lev is pegged to the EURO at the exchange rate: BGN 1, 95583 for EUR 1. Cash, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency are reported in the BGN equivalent on the basis of the exchange rate as at the date of the operation and are revaluated on annual basis using the official exchange rate of the Bulgarian National Bank on the last working day of the year.
Upon preparing the financial statement in compliance with IAS, the management of the Group is required to apply accounting estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the balance sheet. Despite the estimates are based on the management's knowledge of current developments, the actual results may vary from the estimates used.
The assessment of probability for future taxable income for the utilisation of deferred tax assets is based on the last approved budget forecast adjusted with regard to material untaxable income and expenses and specific restrictions for carrying forward unused tax losses or credits. If a reliable estimate for taxable income suggests the probable use of deferred tax asset, in particular in case the asset may be used without time limit, then the deferred tax asset is recognised in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to specific legal or economic restrictions or uncertainty should be judged by the management on case by case basis on the grounds of specific facts and circumstances.
As at the end of the reporting period, the management reviews the available inventories – supplies, goods, in order to identify if there are inventories whose net realizable value is less than their book value. No indications for impairment of inventories have been found during the review as at 30.9.2018.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36, as at the end of the reporting period the management judges if there are indications that the value of an asset within the property, plant and equipment is impaired. In case such indications exist, the replacement cost of this asset is measured and the impairment loss is calculated. As at 30.9.2018, no impairment of property, plant, machinery and equipment has been stated.
When defining the current value of long-term employee benefits upon retirement, calculations of certified actuaries are used based on assumptions for mortality, staff turnover rate, future level of salaries and discount factor, which assumptions are estimated by the management as reasonable and appropriate for the Group.
The Group makes a test for impairment of goodwill at least once a year. The refundable amounts from cash generating units are defined on the basis of their value in use or their fair value, without calculation of the sale cost.
The Group uses an adjustment account to report the impairment of difficultly collectible and uncollectible receivables from counterparties. The management judges the adequacy of this impairment on the basis of age analysis of receivables, previous experience about the level of derecognition of uncollectible receivables, and analysis of the counterparty's solvency, amendments of contractual payment terms and conditions, etc. If the financial position and performance of the counterparties become worse than the expected, the value of receivables that should be derecognised during the next reporting periods may be higher than the one expected as at the reporting date.
The management uses techniques to measure the fair value of financial instruments if here are no quoted prices at active market. Detailed information about the assumptions used are presented in the explanatory notes to the financial assets and liabilities. When applying assessment techniques, the management uses, to the maximum extent, market data and assumptions, that market stakeholders would adopt upon assessing a financial instrument. In case there are no applicable market data, the management uses its best estimate of assumptions that the market stakeholders would make. These assessments may differ from the actual prices that would be defined in an arm's length transaction between informed and willing parties at the end of the reporting period.
Group's income is recognized on the accrual basis and to the extent economic benefits are obtained by the Group and as far as the income may be reliably measured.
Upon sales of goods income is recognized when all material risks and benefits from the title of goods are transferred to the buyer.
Upon provision of services, income is recognized considering the stage of completion of the transaction as at the date of the balance sheet, if such stage may be reliably measured, as well as the costs incurred for the transaction.
Dividend income is recognized upon certifying the right to obtain them.
In the consolidated statement of profit or loss, dividends declared for the financial year by the subsidiaries are recognised as intra-account and are thus eliminated and are not taken in consideration upon calculation of the financial performance.
Eurohold Group generates financial income from the following activities:
Group's expenses are recognized at the time of occurrence thereof and on the accrual and comparability basis.
Administrative expenses are recognized as expenses incurred during the year and are relevant to the management and administration of the Group companies, ng expenses that relate to the administrative staff, officers, office expenses, and other outsourcing.
Financial expenses include: expenses incurred in relation to investment operations, losses from financial instruments operations and currency operations, expenses on interest under granted bank loans and obligatory issues, as well as fees and commissions.
Prepaid expenses (deferred expenses) are carried forward for recognition as current expenses for the period in which the contracts they pertain to are performed.
Other operating income and expenses include items of secondary character in relation to the main activity of the Group.
Interest income and expenses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate for discounting the expected cash payments and proceeds during the term of the financial asset or liability up to the net book value of the respective asset or liability. The effective interest rate is calculated upon the initial recognition of the financial asset or liability and is not adjusted subsequently.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all received or paid commissions, transaction costs, as well as discounts or premiums, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
Transaction costs are the inherent costs directly attributable to the financial asset or liability acquisition, issue or derecognition.
Interest income and expenses stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss include: interest recognized on the basis of effective interest rate under financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized value.
Unearned financial income (interest) is the difference between the gross and net investment in the lease, whereas the gross investment in a lease is the amount of minimum lease payments and the non-guaranteed residual value charged by the lessor. Interest income under lease operations (financial income) is distributed for the term of validity of the lease and is recognised on the basis of constant periodic rate of return of the lessor's net investment.
Fee and commission income and expenses which are an integral part of the effective interest rate for a financial asset or liability, are included in the calculation of the effective interest rate.
Other fee and commission income, including logistic services fees, insurance and other intermediation fees, is recognized upon providing the respective services.
The other fee and commission costs relevant mainly to banking services are recognized upon receipt of the respective services.
An operating segment is a component of the Group, which deals with activities that can generate income and incur expenses related to transactions with any of the other Group's components.
For management purposes, the Group is organised in business units on the basis of the products and services they offer and provide, and includes the following segments subject to reporting:
• Insurance services
Non-life insurance premiums are accounted on annual basis. Gross written premiums under nonlife insurance are premiums under contracts for direct insurance or co-insurance, which are entered into during the year, although the premiums may be fully or partially relate to a later accounting period. Premiums are disclosed gross of commissions payable to brokers.
The earned part of written insurance premiums, including for unexpired insurance contracts, is recognised as income. Written insurance premiums are recognised as at the date of entering into the insurance contract.
Premiums paid to reinsurers are recognised as an expense in accordance with the received reinsurance services.
Written health insurance premiums are recognised as income on the basis of the annual premium due by the insured individuals for the premium period beginning during the financial year, or the lump-sum premium payable for the whole period
of cover for one year health insurance contracts entered into during the financial year.
Gross written premiums from health insurance are not recognised when the future cash inflows related thereto are uncertain. Written health insurance premiums are stated gross of commissions payable to agents.
Written premiums from life insurance are recognised as income on the basis of the annual premium due by the insured persons for the premium period beginning during the financial year, or the lump-sum premium payable for the whole period of cover for policies entered into during the financial year.
Gross written premiums from are not recognised when the future cash inflows related thereto are uncertain. Written premiums are stated gross of commissions payable to agents.
Unearned premium reserve comprises that part of written gross insurance/ health insurance premiums that is calculated to be earned during the next or subsequent financial periods. Unearned premium reserve comprises the insurance premiums charged and recognised as income during the reporting period, less ceded premiums to reinsurers, which should be recognised during the next financial year or during subsequent financial periods. The reserve is calculated individually for each insurance/ health insurance contract by using a proportionate method on daily basis. The unearned premium reserve is calculated net of commissions to brokers, advertising and other acquisition costs.
This reserve is established to cover risks for the time between the end of the reporting period and the date on which the respective insurance/ health insurance contract expires, in order to cover payments and expenses that are expected to exceed the established unearned premium reserve.
Compensations incurred with regard to non-life insurance and health insurance comprise compensations and their administration costs payable during the financial year, together with the change in the pending claims reserve.
The management believes that the gross pending claims reserve and the respective share of the reinsurer's reserve are presented fairly based on the information available as at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The final liability will be changed as a result of subsequent information and events and may require material adjustment of the amount accrued initially. Adjustments in the pending claims reserve found during previous years are stated in the financial statements for the period in which such adjustments have been made, and are disclosed independently, if they are material. The methods used and the assessments made for the accrual of the reserve are subject to regular review.
In its principal activity, Group's insurance companies cede risk to reinsurers with view of decreasing their potential net losses through risk differentiation.
Reinsurance activity does not release the direct obligations of the respective company to the insured persons.
Reinsurance assets comprise the balance payable by reinsurance companies for ceded insurance liabilities. The amounts to be reimbursed by reinsurers are calculated in a way similar to the way for calculation of the reserves for pending claims or for settled claims related to reinsurance policies.
Premiums and claims related to these reinsurance contracts are considered income and expenses in the same way as they would be considered if reinsurance was a direct activity, while taking into account the classification of reinsurance business' products.
Ceded (or accepted) premiums and reimbursed compensations (or paid claims) are stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and the consolidated statement of financial position as gross amounts.
Contracts which cede material insurance risk are accounted as insurance contracts. The amounts refundable under these contracts are recognised during the year of occurrence of the respective claim.
Premiums for long-term reinsurance contracts are accounted in parallel with the term of validity of the related insurance policies by using assumptions similar to those for the accounting of the respective policies.
The replacement cost of receivables under reinsurance contracts is subject to impairment review at each date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Such assets are impaired if there is objective evidence as a result of event that has occurred after their initial recognition.
Deferred acquisition expenses are the amount of acquisition expenses deducted upon calculating the unearned premium reserve. They are defined as that part of the acquisition costs under the contracts valid as at the end of the period, which are estimated as a percentage in the insurance technical schedule and relevant to the time between the end of the reporting period and the date of expiration of the term of validity of the insurance/ health insurance contract. Current acquisition expenses are recognised in full as an expense during the reporting period.
Commission expenses comprise charged broker's commissions, expenses for share in the result, which are accrued in favour of the insured/ health insured persons in case of low claims ratio. Indirect acquisition costs comprise expenses for advertising and expenses incurred for entering into/ renewal of insurance/ health insurance contracts.
The lease activity of the Group is related to the lease of motor vehicles and other industrial equipment, real estates, etc. under financial and operating lease agreements.
Finance lease is an agreement by virtue of which the lessor gives the lessee the right to use an asset for an agreed time period for consideration. The lease is reported as finance lease when the lessor transfers with the agreement all substantial risks and benefits related to the ownership of the asset to the lessee.
Typical indicators reviewed by the Group to identify whether all substantial risks and benefits are transferred are as follows: present value of minimum lease payments in comparison to the beginning of the lease; term of validity of the lease in comparison to the economic life of the leased asset; whether the lessee will acquire the title of the leased asset at the end of the finance lease term of validity. All other leases that do not transfer substantially all risks and benefits of the ownership of the asset are classified as operating lease.
Minimum lease payments are those payments that the lessee will make or may be obliged to make during the term of validity of the lease. From Group perspective, minimum lease payments also comprise the residual value of the asset guaranteed by a third party not related to the Group, provided such party is financially capable to perform its engagements under the guarantee or the repurchase agreement. In the minimum lease payments, the Group also comprises the price of exercising possible option that the lessee has to purchase the asset, whereas it is to a great extent certain at the beginning of the lease that the option will be exercised.
Minimum lease payments do not include amounts related to conditional leases, as well as service and tax expenses, which are paid by the Group and are subsequently re-invoiced to the lessee.
There is a difference between the beginning of the lease and the beginning of the term of validity of the lease. The beginning of the lease is the earlier than the two dates – of the lease agreement or the parties' binding with the main conditions of the lease. As at this date: the lease is classified as finance or operating lease; and in case of finance lease, the amounts that should be recognised at the beginning of the term of validity of the lease are defined. The beginning of the term of validity of the lease is the date on which the lessee may exercise its right to use the leased asset. This is also the date on which the Group initially recognizes the receivable under the lease.
Initially the Group recognizes receivable under lease that is equal to its net investment, which comprises the present value of minimum lease payments and every non-guaranteed residual value for the Group. The present value is calculated by discounting the minimum lease payments due with an interest rate inherent to the lease. Initial direct expenses are included in the calculation of the receivable under finance lease. During the term of validity of the lease, the Group accrues financial income (interest income from finance lease) over the net investment.
Received lease payments are considered a decrease of the net investment (repayment of principal) and recognition of financial income in a way that ensures permanent rate of return of the net investment. Subsequently, the net investment in financial leases is stated net, after offsetting individual and portfolio provisions for incollectibility.
The financial intermediation activity is related to transactions with financial instruments. They are classified as held for trading.
Financial instruments are measured upon acquisition at cost, which comprises their fair value plus all transaction-related expenses.
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, which is the sales, stock exchange or market price.
The Group states its financial assets in the following way:
• Securities of Bulgarian issuers traded on BSE – Sofia AD – the mean weighted price of the transactions they have made on regulated market for the closest day of the last 30-days' period in which such securities have been traded in an amount not less than the amount of securities held by the subsidiary Euro-Finance AD. If there is not transaction made, the market price of the securities is defined on the basis of the "ask" rate announced on the regulated market for the respective session of the closest day of the last 30-days period;
Derivatives are off-balance financial instruments whose value is measured on the basis of interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or other market prices. Derivatives are effective means to manage the market risk and to limit the exposure to specific counterparty.
Most frequently used derivatives are:
The conditions and time periods under the contracts are defined by means of standard documents.
With regard to derivatives, the same procedures for control of market and credit risk are applied, as for the other financial instruments. They are aggregated with the other exposures for the purposes of monitoring the general exposure to a specific counterparty and are managed within the frames of the limits approved for the respective counterparty.
Derivatives are held both for trading and as hedging instruments used for the management of the interest and currency risk. Derivatives held for trading are measured at fair value and profits and losses are stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as a result of trade operations.
Derivatives used as hedging instruments are recognised in accordance with the accounting treatment of the hedged item.
Criteria for recognition of a derivative as a hedging instrument is the existence of documented evidence for the intention to hedge a specific instrument and such hedging instrument should ensure reliable basis for elimination of the risk.
When a hedged exposure is closed, the hedging instrument is recognised as held for trading at fair value. The profit and loss are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, analogically to the hedged instrument.
Hedging transactions that are terminated before the hedged exposure are measured at fair value and the profit or loss are stated for the period of existence of the hedged exposure.
The current tax includes the tax amount, which should be paid over the expected taxable profit for the period on the basis of the effective tax rate or the tax rate applicable on the day of preparation of the consolidated statement of financial position and all adjustments of due tax for previous years.
Current income taxes of the Bulgarian Group companies are defined in compliance with the requirements of the Bulgarian tax legislation – the Corporate Income Tax Act. The nominal tax rate in Bulgaria for 2018 is 10 % (2017: 10%).
The foreign subsidiaries are subject to taxation in accordance with the requirements of the respective tax legislations of the countries, with the following tax rates:
| Country | Tax rate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30.09.2018 | 2017 | |||
| Romania | 16% | 16% | ||
| Macedonia | 10% | 10% | ||
| Ukraine | 18% | 18% |
Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet method for all temporary differences between the book value as per the financial statements and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
The deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the tax rate that is expected to be effective upon the realization of the asset or the settlement of the liability. The effect from changes in the tax rates on the deferred tax is reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except in cases when it concerns amounts, which are earlier accrued or reported directly in equity.
Deferred tax asset is recognised only to the amount to which it is expected to gain future profits against which unused tax losses or tax credit can be used. Deferred tax assets are decreased in accordance with the decrease of the probability for realisation of tax benefits.
As at 30.9.2018, the deferred income taxes of the Group companies are measured at a tax rate valid for 2018, which is in the amount of 10% for the Bulgarian companies, and for the foreign companies it is as follows:
| Country | Tax rate for 2018 |
|---|---|
| Romania | 16% |
| Macedonia | 10% |
| Ukraine | 18% |
Fixed tangible assets are measured at acquisition cost, less the amount of accrued amortization and possible impairment losses.
The Group has fixed the value of capitalization threshold to BGN 700, under which acquired assets, regardless if they have the characteristics of fixed assets, are reported as current expenses at the time of acquisition thereof.
Fixed tangible assets are initially measured:
At acquisition cost, which includes: purchase price (including duties and non-refundable taxes), all direct costs for bringing the asset into working condition according to its purpose – for assets acquired from external sources;
At fair value: for assets obtained as a result of a charitable transaction;
At evaluation: approved by the court and all direct costs for bringing the asset into working condition according to its purpose – for assets acquired as a contribution of physical assets.
Borrowing costs directly related to acquisition, construction or production of eligible assets are included in the acquisition cost (cost) of this asset. All other borrowing costs are reported on current basis in the profit or loss for the period.
The Group has chosen the cost model under IAS 16 – historic price of acquisition, less accrued amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, as an approach for subsequent book value of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenses for repairs and maintenance are stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss at the time of incurrence thereof, unless there is clear evidence that their incurrence will result in increased economic benefits from the use of the asset. In this case, these expenses are capitalized in the carrying amount of the asset.
Upon sales of fixed assets, the difference between the book value and the sales price of the asset is reported as profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Fixed tangible assets are derecognized from the balance sheet upon sale or when the asset is finally decommissioned and no further economic benefits are expected after derecognition thereof.
The Group applies the straight-line method of amortization. Amortization of assets begins from the month following the month of acquisition thereof. Land and assets in process of construction are not depreciated. The useful life by groups of assets depends on: the usual wear and tear, equipment specificity, future intentions for use and the probable moral aging.
The estimated useful lives by groups of assets are as follows:
| Group of assets | Useful life in years |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 25-46 |
| Plant and equipment | 3-10 |
| Vehicles | 4-6 |
| Fixtures and fittings | 3-19 |
| Computers | 2-5 |
The book values of fixed tangible assets are subject to review for impairment, when events or changes in circumstances have occurred, which evidence that the book value might permanently differ from their recoverable amount. If there are indicators that the estimated recoverable value is less than their net book value, the latter is adjusted up to the recoverable value of assets.
Impairment losses are recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss during the year of occurrence thereof.
Intangible assets are stated in the consolidated financial statements at cost, less accrued amortisation and possible impairment losses.
The Group applies the straight-linear method for amortisation of intangible assets with fixed useful life of 5-7 years.
The book value of intangible assets is subject to review for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that identify that the book value could exceed their recoverable value.
Investment property is a property that is held for the purposes generating income from rent or capital profit or both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business of the Group, or for use of services or administrative needs.
Investment properties are measured on the basis of present fair value, whereas each change is stated as profit or loss.
Employment and social insurance relationships with workers and employees in the Group are governed by the provisions of the Labour Code and the provisions of the applicable social insurance legislation for the companies operating in Bulgaria, of the Romanian Code – for the companies in Romania, of the labour legislation for the companies in Ukraine, of the labour legislation for the companies in Macedonia.
Short-term employee benefits are measured at non-discounted basis and are stated as an expense whent the related services are provided. A liability is recongised for the amount that is expected to be paid under a short-term bonus in cash or profit sharing plans, provided the Group has legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of previous services provided by an employee, and this obligation may be reliably measured.
The Group recognises as an obligation the nondiscounted amount of measured expenses for paid annual leave expected to be paid to the employees in return of their service for the previous reporting period.
Defined contribution plan is a plan for postemployment benefits in accordance with which the Group pays contributions to another person and does not have any legal or constructive obligations to make further payments. The Bulgarian government is responsible for providing pensions under the defined contribution plans. The group's engagement costs for transferring contributions under defined contribution plans are recognised currently in profit and loss.
Retirement benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group has clear engagements, without actual opportunity to withdraw, with an official detailed plan either for termination of employment relations before the normal
retirement date, or for payment of compensation upon termination as a result of proposal for voluntary retirement.
Benefits upon voluntary retirement are recognised as an expense if the Group has made an official proposal for voluntary termination and the offer would be probably accepted, and the number of employees who has accepted the offer may be reliably measured. If compensations are payable for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, they are discounted up to their present value.
Entities in which the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting right and have significant influence but is not able to exercise control functions, are considered associates.
Investments in associated companies are reported by using the equity method. By using the equity method, the investment in the associated company is carried in the statement of financial position at acquisition cost, plus the changes in the share in the net assets of the associated entity after the acquisition. The goodwill related to the associated entity is included in the net book value of the investment and is not amortized. The consolidated statement of profit or loss presents the results from the associate's business. The profit share is shown on the face side of the statement.
Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets stated at fair value in the profit or loss, as loans and receivables, heldto-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets or derivatives defined as hedging instruments in effective hedge, where appropriate. The Group classifies its financial instruments at their initial recognition.
Financial assets of the Group include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, financial instruments and financial instrument derivatives quoted and unquoted on the stock exchange.
Cash comprise cash on hand, current accounts and short-term deposits in banks with original maturity of up to 3 moths.
Bank deposits are receivables from banks from invested free monetary resources in the form of term deposits with original maturity exceeding 3 months. Deposits are measured and stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at amortised cost.
Financial assets at fair value in profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value at inception.
Financial assets, which are usually acquired for the purposes of selling in the near term, are classified as held for trading.
Investments held-to-maturity are financial assets, which are non-derivative and have fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, that the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Initially, these investments are recognized at acquisition cost, which includes the amount of consideration paid for acquisition of the investment. All transaction costs directly related to the acquisition are also included in the acquisition cost. After the initial measurement, held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost by using the method of the effective interest rate. Gains and losses from held-to-maturity investments are recognized in the statement of profit or lost and other comprehensive income when the investment is derecognized or impaired.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
Such financial assets are initially recognized at acquisition cost, which is the fair value paid for acquisition of financial assets. All directly attributable acquisition transaction costs are also included in the acquisition cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses from loans and receivables are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, when derecognized and impaired, as well as through the process of amortisation.
Financial assets available for sale are nonderivative financial assets that are so classified and are not classified in any of the three categories listed above.
Initially, these investments are presented at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets available for sale are measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses from fair value are carried in separate item of the other comprehensive income until the financial assets are not derecognized or are not defined as impaired. Upon derecognition or impairment, cumulative gains and losses previously recognized in equity, are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Derivative financial instruments are classified as held-for-trading, unless they are effective hedging instruments. All derivatives are carried as assets, when their fair values are positive and as liabilities when the fair values are negative.
Supplies and goods are measured at delivery value. Their value is equal to the sum of all purchase costs as well as any other costs incurred in relation to the delivery thereof at their current location and condition.
Supplies and goods are derecognised at their consumption at specifically defined or mean weighted value, depending on the segments.
The net realisable value of inventories is stated at sales price, less the completion costs and the expenses incurred for the realisation of the sale and is defined with view of the marketing, moral aging and development of expected sales prices.
When the carrying amount of inventories is higher than their net realisable value, it is reduced to the amount of the net realisable value. The decrease is stated as other current expenses.
Receivables are measured at amortized cost, which usually corresponds to the nominal value. Impairment is estimated for the purposes of meeting the expected loss on the basis of separate measurement of individual arrangements.
Liability provisions include expected costs related to obligations under guarantees, restructuring, etc., as well as deferred tax assets.
Equity is presented at its nominal value pursuant to the court decisions for its registration.
Equity that is not held by the economic group /non-controlled participation/ is part of the net assets, including of the net result of the subsidiaries for the year, which may be attributed to participations that are not directly or indirectly held by the parent company.
The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period that is subject to distribution among shareholders – holders of ordinary shares, by the mean weighted number of ordinary shares held during the period.
The mean weighted number of shares is the number of ordinary shares held at the beginning of the period adjusted with the number of redeemed ordinary shares and the number of newly issued shares multiplied by the average time factor. Such factor expresses the number of days in which the respective shares have been held towards the total number of days during the period.
Upon capitalisation, bonus issue or fractioning, the number of outstanding ordinary shares until the date of such event is adjusted to reflect the proportionate change in the number of outstanding ordinary shares as if the event has occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Earnings per shares with decreased value are not calculated as no potential shares with decreased value are issued.
Financial liabilities are recognized during the loan period with the amount of gained proceeds, principal, less the transaction expenses. During subsequent periods financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, equal to the capitalized value, when applying the effective interest rate method. In the consolidated statement of profit or loss, loan expenses are recognized during the loan term period.
Current liabilities, such as payables to suppliers, group and associates and other payables, are measured at amortized cost, which is usually equal to the nominal value.
Deferred income recognised as liabilities comprise received payments in terms of income for subsequent years.
While operating, the Group companies are exposed to diverse financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, risk from change of financial instrument fair value under the impact of market interest rates and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and risk from change of future cash flows due to a change in market interest rates.
The overall risk management program emphasizes the unpredictability of financial markets and is aimed at mitigating the possible adverse effects on the Group's financial result.
The Group is exposed to currency risk through payments in foreign currency and through its assets and liabilities, which are denominated in foreign currency. As a result of exposures in foreign currency, profits and losses are generated which are stated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. These exposures are the monetary assets of the Group which are not denominated in the currency used in the financial statements of the local companies.
In case the local currency is exposed to a significant currency risk, its management is achieved through investments in assets denominated in euro.
The Group is exposed to interest risk in relation to the used trade loans, as some of the received borrowings have floating interest rate agreed as a base interest (EURIBOR/LIBOR) increased with a specific margin. Borrowings with floating interest rates are denominated in euro. The amount of interest rates is described in the respective notes.
The credit risk if the Group is mainly related to the trade and financial receivables.
The amounts stated in the consolidated statement of financial position are on net basis, excluding the provisions for doubtful receivables determined as such by the management on the basis of previous experience and current economic conditions.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties in servicing its financial obligations when they become payable. Policy in this field is aimed at ensuring that there will be enough cash available to service its maturing obligations, including in exceptional and unforeseen conditions. The management's objective is to maintain continuous balance between continuity and flexibility of financial resources by using adequate forms of funding.
The management is responsible for managing the liquidity risk and involves maintaining enough cash available, arranging adequate credit lines, preparation of analysis and update of cash flows estimates.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
External valuers are involved for valuation of the fair value of significant assets, such as goodwill and investment property.
Consolidated statement of cash flows shows the cash flows of the Group for the year in relation to the operating, invenstment and financial activity during the year, the change in cash and cash equivalents for the year, cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and at the end of the year.
The operating cash flows are calculated as result for the year adjusted with the non-cash operating positions, changes in net turnover capital and corporate tax.
Investment activity cash flows include payments in relation to purchase and sale of fixed assets and cash flows related to the purchase and sale of entities and operations. Purchase and sale of other securities which are not cash and cash equivalents are also included in the investment activity.
Financial activity cash flows include changes in the amount or composition of share capital and the related costs, the borrowings and the repayment of interest-bearing loans, purchase, and sale of own shares and payment of dividends.
