Favourable economic climate continued in the second quarterly term, which fuelled the demand for logistic services. The on-going upward trend reflected on the financial results of the Group. The sales results of last year's term were surpassed by nearly all the group members, except in the companies in Macedonia and Albania. Noteworthy were growing sales revenues in our subsidiaries Ukraine and Croatia which yielded positive operation of respective subsidiaries, thanks to a number of actions and activities in the preceding term. Improved economic climate and favourable business development in our subsidiary in Ukraine brought high income growth in railway transport. A further highlight was enhanced business in the segments of warehousing and sea transport - in container and Ro-Ro segments, primarily in Slovenia. Slovenian market has also perceived growth in the physical volume of orders processed; however, the favourable trend was not followed by financial results due to strong competitive struggle and pressures on prices. We focus on acquiring new business and supplier management concurrently, aiming to to improve the transport terms. In support of logistics processes, we proceed with development of integration of information solutions for both, business and finance and accounting processes.

ECONOMIC TRENDS

The latest estimates by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast a 3.1-percent growth for the world economy in the year 2016. In advanced countries, the average growth is estimated at 1.8 percent, in other economies at 4.1 percent.

Short-term indicators of economic activity and sentiment for the Euro Zone point to on-going economic growth in the second quarterly term, however, at a lower pace than to date. Activity in processing industries rose slightly in April, while retail trade and construction sector have been stagnating for some months in sequence. The situation in the labour market has improved and encouraged retail consumption. The prices of oil and raw materials have been rising, but are still considerably lower than in the past. The United Kingdom referendum decision for exit from the EU has brought much uncertainty regarding economic and political situation in Europe.

Most short-term economic activity indices in Slovenia has risen since the beginning of the second quarterly term. Favourable trends of cost-efficiency and competitiveness, in addition to foreign demand, fuelled the exports of goods and the production output volume in process industries. After several months of downward trend, the construction sector saw a slight improvement which remained fairly low. For the coming months, the economic climate indicator implies a gradual recovery of activity in most branches of industry, too.

Croatia, which came out of a long-lasting recession last year, has recorded the sixth consecutive quarterly term of growth that is primarily fuelled by increased retail consumption and by investments. Serbian economy has seen improved economic growth based on domestic consumption and increased exports in the first quarterly term, which slowed down in the second quarterly term as an outcome of decreased industrial output and retail consumption. In Montenegro, the growth rate decreased due to shrunken exports and public spending in the first quarterly term, while the rate of retail consumption doubled over the preceding quarterly term. Favourable economic growth rates are forecast for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania. After the downturn period has persisted for more than two years, Ukraine recorded a slight economic growth in the first quarterly term 2016; the recovery has continued at an uneven pace.

SALES REVENUES

Gradual improvement of economic climate in Euroean markets had a favourable influence on the performance of our Group. Although the pace of revival of goods flows varied from country to country, the trend was positive for all. We can highlight the growth of revenues from railway transport in our Ukrainian subsidiary. In the transport and logistics market, the competitive struggle produces pressures on sales prices and thereby reduces the earning per unit. That can be perceived in the growth of operating volume and physical indices, however, it the growth has not reflected on financial results. Our Land Transport recorded growth in the physical volume of orders processed, but a decrease of revenues below the comparable term last year.

Informatisation of operations is a key element in logistics. Therefore, we continued introducing information support to logistic services in our subsidiaries. Preparatory activities to launch the IT support to groupage services and domestic transport are conducted in Croatia, and to road transport and customs services in Kosovo. In Slovenia and Croatia, we carried on with IT support to warehousing operations according to individual customers. Our subsidiaries in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro started using the SAP information solution for finance and accounting, which facilitates the transparency of operations.

Mid year, the Intereuropa Group recorded a 4-percent growth over the comparable term last year and achieved EUR 69.3 million sales revenues. The highest growth was recorded in the area Logistics Solutions, mainly resulting from increased turnover of goods and of inventories in our major warehouses in Slovenia. A gradually improved business sentiment was perceived in our key markets.

Better sales results than a year ago were achieved in our Land Transport, too. After several years of shrinking revenues, the Ukrainian subsidiary recorded growth and doubled the sales revenues in rail-freight. Croatia saw better sales in both companies located there. In Land Transport, our subsidiaries in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia exceeded their sales results, too, whilst the company in Slovenia and subsidiaries in Kosovo and Albania recorded downward trends, below the comparable term in 2015.

In the services of our Intercontinental Transport, we recorded a 2-percent drop of revenues below the comparable achievements of last year. The reasons for setback include a bad season for imports of fresh fruit and vegetables, a reduced volume of cars for a particular customer, and discontinued transports of Korean cars for the Spanish market. Also, seafreight rates and air-freight transportation terms were quite unstable in the first half-year, which had a bearing on our prices. Despite the partial loss of income from car logistics, we handled well over then one-third more vehicles than in the same term a year ago. Better than expected were our results in airfreight segment recorded in Slovenia, Serbia and Montenegro.

With the achieved sales revenues we met the levels planned in all our areas of business, except in Intercontinental Transport. The highest overachievement of our targets was recorded in railway transport, shipping agency and warehousing.

Our companies in Slovenia yielded two thirds of sales revenue and improved the sales result of the preceding term by one percent. With the exception of our subsidiaries in Macedonia and Albania, all other subsidiaries recorded growth. The slight recovery of economy in Ukraine, though uneven, has contributed to the improved sales results in that subsidiary as well.

Land Transport

We achieved a sales turnover of EUR 38.4 million from the services of Land Transport in the reporting term, or 55 percent in the sales structure of the Intereuropa Group. The highest share was contributed by the Parent Company that earned 57 percent of total sales revenues from the services of Land Transport.

Compared with the first half-year 2015, the sales revenue was 4 percent higher. After several years of losses, the Ukrainian subsidiary achieved growth and doubled the sales revenues in the rail-freight product. Also our subsidiary Intereuropa, logističke usluge, d.o.o., Zagreb (Croatia) recorded better results in all products except rail-freight segment. The overachievement of last year's results was seen in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia, whilst our subsidiaries in Kosovo and Albania, as well as in Slovenia, suffered a decline in revenue.

The overview of sales revenues by product reveals that we surpassed the last year's results in groupage, domestic and railway transport meanwhile we did not achieved last year's results for products road transport and customs services.

The sales targets were exceeded by 2 percent, the greatest part of excess was achieved in the Ukrainian subsidiary. The targets were also exceeded by our subsidiaries Intereuropa logističke usluge d.o.o., Zagreb (by most in the products Groupage services and Domestic Transport), A.D. Intereuropa logističke usluge, Belgrade (in all products except Road Transport), Intereuropa RTC d.d. Sarajevo (in all products except Customs Services), Zetatrans a.d. (in the product Road Transport) and Intereuropa Skopje d.o.o. (in the product Customs Services). Other subsidiaries were below the targets.

The first half-year 2016 was earmarked by growing physical volume of orders processed, which brought higher sales revenue in all products of our Land Transport Area except road transport. We recorded a fall of revenues despite the increased number of orders processed. In the latter product, major business is acquired exclusively by tender, and there is typically fierce price competition among the carriers bidding, which reduces our earnings per unit in practically all tenders won.

Road Transport:

  • With 25 percent, road transport has the biggest share in the sales revenue structure among the services offered by the Group, and as high as a 45-percent share among the services in the scope of Land Transport.
  • Compared with the same term 2015, we recorded a 5 percent fall of sales revenue and were 7 percent below the sales target.
  • The worst fall in sales revenues in absolute terms was recorded in Slovenia, where the revenues fell by 7 percent mainly as an outcome of the loss of some major businesses in the Branch Offices Koper and Celje.
  • The biggest relative setback struck our subsidiary in Albania, which nearly halved its earnings due to loss of a key customer. Decrease in sales revenues was also recorded by our subsidiaries in Kosovo, Serbia, Macedonia and Ukraine.
  • Our subsidiary in Zagreb, which increased its fleet by the purchase of five new Volvo Trucks last year, increased the sales revenue by 5 percent but remained slightly behind the targets.
  • Better results were also achieved in Bosnia and Herzegovina (acquisition of a major business) and in Montenegro (new businesses).

  • Pressures on prices continued and the resulting reduced sales margins has persisted for quite a long time. We are addressing that issue by active management of direct costs.

  • Activities to launch the IT solution WexVS were conducted in Kosovo for the Road transport product.
  • Activities were conducted to ensure IT support to mutual processes with suppliers carriers in Intereuropa d.d. The solution will be launched in the last quarterly term 2016.

Groupage Services:

  • The sales revenues rose by 6 percent and exceeded the target by 7 percent in the reporting half-year.
  • Nearly three quarters of all revenues from groupage services in the Group were generated in Slovenia. The number of orders processed rose by 4 percent, and our sales revenues were 2 percent higher than the first half-year last year.
  • In March, we established cooperation with a new partner in Great Britain.
  • The subsidiary in Serbia surpassed both the last year's results (25 percent) and the target (20 percent). After establishing the line between Turkey and Serbia, the role of Belgrade-based subsidiary was strengthened as it becam an important hub in the Group.
  • Growing sales revenues and exceeding the targets were further recorded in the subsidiaries in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, as a result of increased quantities of carried goods.
  • On the other hand, the subsidiaries in Montenegro and Albania recorded a downturn in the sales and a setback behind the plan.
  • In June, Intereuropa d.d. established electronic exchange of routing orders and statuses thereof with a foreign customer, which will serve as the groundwork for introducing this solution with other customers and partners in business.

Customs services:

  • Sales revenue was one percent lower than in the comparable term a year ago. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro recorded a loss in operating revenue from customs services.
  • Slovenia, which earns as many as 38 percent of the entire sales turnover from customs services, saw a considerable increase in sales revenue by 16 percent, and exceeded the sales target by 12 percent.
  • In Croatia, the sales revenue from customs services rose by 14 percent.
  • The subsidiaries in Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo recorded higher operating revenues than last year and surpassed the sales targets.
  • Activities to launch the IT solution WexVS were conducted in Kosovo for the Customs Services product.

Domestic Transport:

  • The sales revenue was 7 percent higher than in the first half-year 2015, and 7 percent above our plan. Growth was recorded in all subsidiaries offering this service, the highest of all in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • The highest share of sales turnover was earned by the subsidiary in Croatia (57 percent), followed by Slovenia (24 percent), the subsidiaries in Bosnia and Herzegovina (13 percent), in Serbia (4 percent), and in Montenegro (1 percent).
  • In Croatia, sales turnover grew by 5 percent and outstripped the tarbet by 8 percent.
  • In Slovenia, despite a 2-percent growth in the sales turnover, we did not achieve the target.

  • This product provides an important support to other our products; as a stand-alone product, on the other hand, it faces an extremely tough competition in local markets and demands our continual attention and activities to streamline the operations.
  • All companies in the Group conduct on-going activities on process optimisation, cost management and optimum implementing solutions that will retain the quality of service on the highest level and reduce the cost on the other hand.
  • In Slovenia, we tested the application and devices supporting the migration from conventional OBC's to smart phones for code reading.
  • In Croatia, preparatory activities to introduce the WexVS solution are conducted to utilize the advantages thereof, as well as a further process optimization, cost management and search for optimum implementation solutions that will retain the quality of service on the highest level.

Railway Transport:

  • In the reporting half-year, the Railway Transport product recorded a great increase (40 percent) over the sales target and was 65 percent higher than in the comparable term 2015.
  • The performance of this product was greatly attributable to the improved situation in Ukraine, where our subsidiary TEK ZTS of Uzhgorod is based: the sales revenues from rail-freight have more than doubled. Our Ukrainian subsidiary generated 72 percent of total sales revenues in our railfreight transport product.
  • The Parent Company (in Slovenia) was slightly behind the results of comparable halfyear 2015 and behind the sales targets.

Increased demand for transport and logistic services has been felt in the market, reflecting in positive results in the physical volume, however, with scarcely any bearing on the financial results. Customers are pressing on the costs when acquiring business by tender and by checking the market prices from day to day. Logistics providers struggle for each shipment, some of them offer dumping prices, which slashes the sales margin. Moreover, ill payment practices require great caution in acquisition of new business, as well as in doing business with our present customers. The operating result is dependent on economic and political situation in the countries and markets in which we operate, primarily in Europe.

In all products of our Land Transport Area, we rely on informatisation of operations to optimise the processes and provide for traceability that our customers expect from us. In Croatia, we put our IT solution WexVS in use for two Land Transport products: Road transport and customs services. By the end of this year, the new IT solution will be launched in the Groupage and Domestic Transport segments. In July, we introduced the net IT solution in Kosovo for two products: Road transport and customs services. Preliminary activities to expand the information solution to other subsidiaries of the Group are conducted, to allow for better supervision over the provision of services; combined with enhanced traceability of consignments, it further improves the quality of our service.

We are committed to maintaining a high quality level of our service at all times, which is a prerequisite for success in the market. In the second half-year, our activities will be addressing cost efficiency and the streamlining of operations, and first and foremost, support intensified commercial activities in all Group members.

Logistics Solutions

In the reporting half-year, the Logistics Solutions Area generated EUR 9.4 million of sales revenues, or 14 percent of total sales turnover of the Group. So we recorded a 16-percent

growth over the comparable term last year, and exceeded the target by 3 percent. An improved business sentiment was perceived in our key markets.

In Slovenia, which as the key market represents two thirds in the sales output of logistics solutions, we were performing 20 percent better than last year and 6 percent above the targets, primarily on account of increased turnover of goods and of inventories in our warehouses (Logatec, Jesenice and Maribor).

Our results from the year 2015 were exceeded by all other subsidiaries with storage facilities (except in Kosovo); the targets were not achieved only in Croatia and in Kosovo.

Our companies in Slovenia and in Croatia conducted numerous activities to fill-up storage capacities and acquire new business with a higher added value, as well as continued improving business processes towards streamlining and launching the new integrated IT solution that supports warehouse processes.

Storage services:

  • Our turnover from the sale of storage services came to EUR 8.9 million in the reporting half-year, representing 13 percent in the sales structure of the Group, or 98 percent on the level of the Logistics Solutions Area. We recorded a rise in the sales turnover by 19 percent and exceeded the targets by 10 percent.
  • In Slovenia, we were 13 percent above the plan despite the 24-percent growth in the sales turnover. Serbia, achieved a 20-percent growth in the sales turnover and surpassed the plan by 16 percent. Montenegro saw a 27-percent growth in the sales turnover and was 6 percent above the plan. The Bosnian subsidiary recorded a 12 percent growth in the sales turnover and achieved the plan. In Croatia, 4-percent growth in the sales turnover was achieved and the plan was exceeded by 2 percent. Subsidiaries in other countries did not achieve the plan.
  • In Maribor, the construction of new cool store facility was completed, with capacities for ca. 2,500 pallet spaces.

Distribution Services:

The sales turnover from Distribution services in the reporting half-year was EUR 0.5 million, representing ca. one percent in the sales structure of the Intereuropa Group.

Key activities for the Logistics Solutions Area in this year:

  • development of partnership relations and enhanced cooperation with current customers;
  • winning new logistics projects, primarily aiming to fill the unoccupied storage capacities in Slovenia and Croatia;
  • continuation of installation of IT support to logistics solutions in Slovenia and in Croatia;
  • improvement of energy efficiency (introducing LED-based illumination, replacing gasdriven forklift trucks with electric ones);
  • continued specialisation and optimisation of logistic processes by commodity category.

Intercontinental Transport

The sales revenues in our Intercontinental Transport products amounted to EUR 18.2 million and were slightly above the results of the comparable term last year. The products of seafreight container segment, »ro-ro« services, shipping agency and air-freight were performing better than planned; unlike the former segments, the conventional sea-freight and car

logistics were behind the targets and that setback brought to the underachievement of goals of the entire Area by 2 percentage points.

The highest overachievement of sales targets and growth in the volume over last year's achievement was recorded in our RO-RO products (56 percent above the plan). The target sales results of container transport were exceeded by 7 percent, of the shipping agency by 16 percent and of the air-freight by 9 percent.

The first half-year was considerably unstable due to volatility of sea-freight rates and airfreight terms of transport. Shipowners and operators have extremely raised the sea-freight rates at the end of this half-year, which is also attributable to better occupancy of ship's space. We optimized our purchase terms by agreements with our current partner networks. A similar trend can be expected in the third quarter of this year, too. The persisting aggravated situation in shipping industry is shown by very low prices of ship chartering.

Sea-Freight:

  • The products of our sea-freight segment (incl. shipping agency) yielded EUR 14.3 million of sales revenues for the first half-year's term. That was still 1 percent below the sales targets.
  • Among sea-freight products, our container transport segment was the best performing segment. It yielded EUR 7.4 million and outstripped the sales target by 7 percent. Slovenia recorded significant growth in the exports of steel, refractory bricks and dangerous goods, and imports of containers with phyto-pharmaceutical products and fertilizers bound for the Central European markets. A growth in the number of containers was also recorded in intermodal deliveries from the Port of Koper. The good results from container transport reflected in high occupancy of warehouse facilities in Koper and in their extremely good performance.
  • Our conventional sea-freight segment achieved a sales turnover of EUR 5.6 million, which was slightly underperforming. The biggest variances from targets were recorded in imports of fresh fruit and vegetables in the first quarterly term, which were generally observed in the Port of Koper. The segment performed much better in the second quarterly term, thanks to a much better season of fruit imports from Egipt. There were slightly fewer dispatches of (dry) bulk cargoes, but a higher number of liquid cargo or petroleum products shipments, respectively. According to the expectations of our key customers, we envision to achieve the sales targets in the second half-year.
  • Our RO-RO product outstripped the sales targets for the first half-year by 56 percent. These good results rely on the higher volume of project goods via Koper port, both in import and export. Similar results can be expected for the second half-year, too, as we have acquired for several new project shipments.
  • Our shipping agency was performing better than expected in Slovenia and in Croatia, having surpassed the plan baselines by 16 percent. and 33 percent better than in the first half-year term last year. Underlying for such good achievements is our agency representation of a Chinese container ship operator. We also recorded more calls by the fleet of a Japanese shipowner who loads Daimler-Benz vehicles in Koper.
  • We had several meetings with our partner network to ensure the competitiveness of purchase terms in sea-freight, we took part in several commercial/ promotional events abroad to strengthen our presence in our key markets. Based on the activities taken, we expect a stable business for the second half-year and we expect to achieve the target sales turnover. Some uncertainty remains for our shipping agency due to termination of representation of a container ship owner with September 2016. Negotiations are held with new potential shipowners.
  • Activities to launch the IT solution WexVS were conducted in Slovenia and Kosovo for the sea-freight product.

Car logistics:

  • In this segment, we recorded EUR 2.2 million of sales revenue in the first half-year 2016. The target sales turnover was realized up to 89 percent. We were doing better in the second half-year. attributable to the lower volume of GM vehicles, discontinued transports of Korean cars for the Spanish market, and to the business for a Short-Sea shipowner.
  • Despite lower sales revenue, we processed a bigger number of vehicles. There were 39 percent more vehicles handled than in the same term last year. Growth is attributable to the development of new business for Daimler-Mercedes and for some traditional customers who boost the number of vehicles in the markets of Slovenia and of SE Europe.
  • Our car terminals in Slovenia and Serbia recorded a higher number of vehicles on store, that - due to favourable turnover - significantly contributed to the sales revenue in the reporting six months. In Serbia, we closed a deal for storage of Renault vehicles with a new customer.
  • For the second half-year, our operations are estimated to be stable and in line with the sales targets. The achievement or over achievement thereof will depend on new deals for additional business via Koper port.

Airfreight:

  • The sales turnover in our air-freight segment were 9 percent above the sales target for the reporting half-year. The sales revenues at EUR 1.9 million were 11 percent better than in the first half-year last year,
  • the greatest part thereof in Slovenia, Serbia, and Montenegro, thanks to good performance. In Slovenia, our sales targets were surpassed by 19 percent.
  • In Serbia, we made some major air-freight deliveries by charter flights, and some deliveries are scheduled for the coming half-year. We closed a deal for GSA (General Sales Agent) representation for the Turkish air carrier Pegasus Airlines and expect to develop cooperation gradually and higher income. Tha target sales turnover for Serbia was surpassed by 17 percent, the same as in Montenegro. In Kosovo, we continue to provide logistics for the German Army.
  • In addition to higher export activity in the Balkans, we also record enhanced activity of our partner network. We attended the international meeting of the HCL network in Lisbon in order to enhance partner cooperation.
  • For the second half-year, we expect similar favourable trend in air-freight segment to continue on the Group level. In the air-freight business, the second half-year is traditionally the better part of the year; accordingly, we expect to achieve and even outperform the sales results at the year-end, too.
  • Activities to launch the IT solution WexVS were conducted in Kosovo for the airfreight product.

Operating Profit or Loss, and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation)

In the first half-year, the Group succeeded in increasing not only the sales revenues, but also the EBIT margin1 , which has significantly contributed to better performance than planned (for both, operating profit and EBITDA of the Group).

Financing Profit or Loss

The negative Financing Profit/ Loss was attributable to net interest expenses and to foreign exchange losses at EUR 0.2 million that were not envisioned (mostly arising from the Ukrainian currency value decrease). The latter were also the ground for underachievement of the target financing result.

Net profit / loss

The profit/loss from ordinary activities was reduced by the accrued and deferred corporate income tax. The resulting Net Profit was EUR 2.0 million.

Structure of Statement of Financial Position

The current ratio came to 1.63 and remained essentially unchanged; the same applies to the share of capital in the balance sheet total.

1 Share of operating profit in the sales revenue structure.

1.3 Investments in Fixed Aassets

In the first half-year 2016, the investments in fixed assets realized by the Intereuropa Group totalled EUR 1,392 thousand, thereof 409 thousand in real estate and 983 thousand in equipment and intangible assets. The annual plan of investments was completed to the level of 31 percent.

The investments of the Parent Company Intereuropa d.d. were made in real estate, equipment and intangible assets (EUR 977 thousand); other members of the Group invested EUR 415 thousand in fixed assets. Our highest investments comprised the completion of stage V of the cold store in our warehouse facility in Maribor (EUR 712 thousand) and the purchase of 6 delivery vans for our subsidiary in Sarajevo (EUR 123 thousand). The invested funds were earmarked to:

buildings and fittings/ equipment (EUR 1,050 thousand),

  • purchase of vehicles (EUR 248 thousand),
  • computer hardware and software (EUR 94 thousand).

1.4 Risk Management

Timely identification of key risks allows us to minimize, or even eliminate, their negative impact on operations. Therefore, risk identification and response thereto is an integral part of corporate planning process, decision-making and day-to-day operations.

There are 47 types of risks identified in the company Intereuropa d.d., thereof 4 key risks were acknowledged. Our highest exposure was to the sales risk of downward pricing pressures, and to credit risk. Due to our financial commitments under the financial restructuring programme, we are also exposed to the risk associated with ensuring financial stability of the Company.

We dedicate great attention to sales risk management and remain cautious despite the forecast global economic growth and optimistic forecasts for the Euro Zone. The growth in the sales from the preceding months is not proportional to the growth of physical indices. The main reason for that disproportion is attributable to strong competition of logistics and transportation providers in the markets covered by our Group, which gives opportunity to customers press the prices for services downwards, and concurrently, the optimization of their own business forces them to reduce the costs for logistics. We focus our sales activities on acquiring new customers, improving the productivity of staff and on higher utilization of logistics capacities, along with internal streamlining of processes and costs. To facilitate and optimize the management of our services, we are upgrading the IT support to processes.

Logistics is considerably exposed to credit risk as it demands from service providers to make high outlays of funds to pay for freight, customs duty and other levies. Ill payment practices

and financial difficulties of numerous enterprises are still quite common in the markets in which we are operating, so it demands caution both in doing business with our current customers and in addressing new prospects. We address the risk by imposing adequate measures, such as active monitoring and collection of outstanding receivables, preventive checks of credit rating, setting appropriate credit limits, and arranging instruments to secure risky receivables. By keeping a close eye on the business and liquidity planning, orderly relations with all the stakeholders and prudent cash management, we estimate to successfully cope with our exposure to credit and liquidity risks.

Due to our financial commitments under the financial restructuring programme, we reduce our exposure to the risk associated with maintaining financial stability in the Company by regular repayment of our debt and by active management of working capital. along with activities leading to additional de-levarage by disposal of the assets that are not sufficiently utilised in economic terms.

Our activities strongly address the marketing and sales, increasing the productivity and added-value, careful supplier management, cost streamlining, modernisation of business processes and assurance of financial stability of the Company.

To date, we have not perceived any significant change that would materially affect our business in the second half-year. We have monitored all the identified risks and managed them with due care.

1.5 Human Resources Management

Operating Profit or Loss, and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation)

The sales turnover planned for the reporting half-year was only slightly below the target, but the Company succeeded in improving the EBIT margin, which was partly attributable to the changed product-based sales structure, and led to a better operating profit or loss and of EBITDA than planned.

Financing Profit or Loss

The Financing profit or loss was negative, but better than expected. The major impacts were net interest expenses and the revenues from shares in group members.

Net profit / loss

The Profit or loss from ordinary activities equalled the net profit of loss and amounted to EUR 2.0 million.

Structure of Statement of Financial Position

The current ratio came to 1.65 and did not change materially compared with the preceding term a year ago, whilst the share of capital in the balance sheet total rose slightly (by 0.3 index points).

A C C O U N T I N G R E P O R T

The unaudited financial statements of the Parent Company and the consolidated financial statements for the Group are prepared in accordance with the law and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

The same accounting guidelines were applied in the consolidated financial statements as in those of the Parent Company, as indicated in the Accounting Report for the financial year 2015. In the Statement of Financial Position and in the Statement of Cash Flows, we presented separately the item 'Other current assets' which was in the comparable statement included in short-term receivables, and we adjusted the comparable data. In the comparable data, we undertook a re-classification in the value of EUR 225 thousand within the item Labour Cost: the payroll costs were increased and the cost of social security insurances were decreased.

The management examined the estimations, assessments and presumptions and concluded that they have not changed from those applied at the time of compiling the financial statements as at 31st December 2015, except the changed depreciation rates from 20% to 15 percent for some equipment items. The effect of that change was negligeable.

In the reporting term, the subsidiary Intereuropa Transport d.o.o. was in liquidation proceedings.

ISTATEMENT OF THE MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT

the Managing Board hereby confirms that according to its best knowledge and conscience, the financial report of the company Intereuropa, Global Logistics Service Ltd. Co., and of the Intereuropa Group has been compiled in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and is a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, the financial position and the profit or loss statement of the company Intereuropa, Global Logistics Service Ltd., and of other companies included in the consolidation. The business report includes a fair view of the information on the material transactions with related parties and has been drawn up in accordance with the relevant accounting standard.

  • Level 1 considers the unadjusted price listed in an active market on the date of measurement;
  • Level 2 considers the inputs other than the listed price of Level 1, and such inputs can be directly or indirectly monitored for assets or liabilities;
  • Level 3 considers unmonitored inputs for an asset or liability.

Fair value of financial instruments

With regard to calculation of their fair value, they are classified in three levels:

  • Level 1 considers the unadjusted price listed in an active market on the date of measurement;
  • Level 2 considers the inputs other than the listed price of Level 1, and such inputs can be directly or indirectly monitored for assets or liabilities;
  • Level 3 considers unmonitored inputs for an asset or liability.

The first half-year 2016 was a promising term for the Intereuropa Group. The improved economic climate fuelled the demand for logistic services, which reflected on financial results of the Group as well. The favourable sales result was greatly attributable to our joint and long-term efforts to achieve the growth of operations of our companies. Noteworthy were growing sales revenues in our subsidiaries Ukraine and Croatia which yielded positive operation of respective subsidiaries, thanks to a number of actions and activities in the preceding term. On the level of the Group, the focus was laid on improving our sales activities and customizing the service implementation and our current warehousing capacities to the needs of our customers. Informatisation ranks among our major activities in the optimization of logistic processes, and accordingly, we continue with modernization and upgrading of information support to our services.

The Intereuropa Group recorded a 4-percent growth over the comparable term last year and achieved EUR 69.3 million sales revenues. The highest growth was recorded in the area Logistics Solutions, mainly resulting from increased turnover of goods and of inventories in our major warehouses in Slovenia. Also the Land Transport saw a growth of revenues, primarily in railway transport in Ukraine, domestic transport and groupage services. Our Intercontinental Transport slightly exceeded the sales results from the comparable term a year ago. The best performing services within the Seafreight segment were contributed by our shipping agency, Ro-Ro-services and container transport: we surpassed the targets in all of them.

Growing sales and active cost management were the crucial factors for the improved Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), which came to EUR 6.8 million. The operating profit in the reporting term was EUR 3.6 million. and the profitability of sales revenues (EBIT margin) was greatly improved: from 3.1 last year it rose to 5.2 percent.

The Financing Profit/ Loss at -1.5 million EUR has resulted from net interest expenses and foreign exchange losses (EUR 0.2 million), which were primarily attributable to depreciation of the Ukrainian currency. The Group closed the reporting term with a net profit of EUR 2.0 million. The reporting term closed with a Net financial debt je at EUR 80.0 million.

The results of the reporting half-year confirm the correct strategy taken and the quality of work of all employees in the Group. We take them as encouragement for implementing the necessary activities with full commitment and to achieve the goals set for this year. We will focus primarily on development of our current business and acquiring new ones to achieve growth in all our markets, areas/segments and products of our core business. Our topranked goals remain maintaining or enhancing the profitability of operations.
