INTRODUCTION

1 Performance highlights of Luka Koper Group In January - September 2020

The year 2020 was characterised by substantially altered operating and business conditions, since SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) coronavirus outbreak caused the economic downturn, having a huge impact on the global economy, global trade flows and logistic routes. In January – September 2020, the consequences of the pandemic and related measures resulted in a lower volume of throughput of the Luka Koper Group and increased volume of goods in warehouses, thus resulting in a lower net revenue from sale and lower net profit or loss. Nevertheless, the Luka Koper Group estimates that the results are good, since the conditions in the port activity affected more severly other ports. The throughput of two strategic product groups, containers and cars remained stable, mostly the throughput of containers which only minimally laggs behind the planned quantities. In the first nine months, also in comparison with competitive ports, the volume of throughput of both product groups was good. In comparison with the previous year, in the first nine months of 2020, the containers throughput in TEU was by 3 percent lower, whilst in the neighbouring port of Trieste it was lower by one percent. 11 percent drop in the troughput was recorded in the Port of Venice. The Port of Rijeka does not publish infra-annual throughput statistics. The transhipment of cars improved in comparison with the half-year results. Although Luka Koper, d. d., recorded a 15-percent fall in the volume of throughput in the first nine months of 2020 in comparison with the previous year, it recorded the minimum decrease among Mediterranean ports. The transhipment of cars in the Port of Barceloni was lower by 45 percent, in the Port of Valencia by 33 percent. The transhipment of cars in the northern European port of Antwerp declined even by 29 percent. Therefore, in the first nine months of 2020, the Luka Koper Group achieved by 11 percent lower net revenue from the market activity when compared to the previous year, which was a good result with respect to the radical changes in operating conditions.

Despite tight market conditions, the Luka Koper Group further implemented the investments in the increase of port facilities, since upon the improvement of health and economic situation affected by the pandemic, a renewed growth of the volume of througput is expected. Besides the completed construction of a new RO-RO berth and additional railway tracks, the construction of the car garage has been continuing. Moreover, the extension of container quayside, jointly with other planned areas, is a key investment in order to maintain the competitive position in the containers segment.

In January – September 2020, net revenue from sale achieved EUR 155 million and was by 11 percent resp. by EUR 19 million lower than in the comparable period In 2019. Net revenue from sale relating to market activity were by 11 percent resp. by EUR 18.5 million lower than revenue achieved in the previous, year whilst the revenue from the performance of public utility service of regular maintenance of port infrastructure, intended for the public transport was by 9 percent resop. by EUR 478.9 thousand lower than the result achieved in the previous year. Lower revenue relating to market activity were due to lower volume of maritime throughput. The fall in throughput is mainly attributable to coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) outbreak, related measures and economic slowdown. Lower revenue from the performance of public utility service of regular maintenance of port infrastructure, intended for the public transport was also affected by the coronavitrus epidemic. In January – September 2020, net revenue from sale of Luka Koper Group was by 13 percent resp. by EUR 23.7 million below the planned.

8.1 Maritime throughput

The maritime throughput of the Luka Koper Group in January – September 2020 achieved 14.9 million tons and lagged behind the planned quantities by 17 percent, which was 16 percent decline in comparison with the comparable period last year. In comparison with the previous year, in January – September, Luka Koper Group recorded 6 percent decline of loaded and 21 percent decline of unloaded goods onto/from ships.

The year 2020 was characterised by substantially altered operating and business conditions, since SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) coronavirus outbreak caused the economic downturn, having a huge impact on the global economy, global trade flows and logistic routes. In January – September 2020, the consequences of the pandemic and related measures resulted in a lower volume of throughput of the Luka Koper Group and increased volume of goods in warehouses. Nevertheless, the Luka Koper Group estimates that the results are good, since the conditions in the port activity affected more severly other ports. The throughput of two strategic product groups, containers and cars remained stable.

Figure 6: Maritime throughput

8.2 Cargo structure by cargo types

In the whole structure of the maritime throughput prevailed containers, of which share increased by 6 percentage point in comparison to 2019. The share of dry and bulk cargoes, liquid cargoes and general cargoes decreased, the share of cargo group cars remaine unchanged.

Figure 8: Throughput of containers and cars

Figure 9: Structure of maritime throughput by cargo types

Within the general cargoes, Luka Koper Group in January – September 2020 achieved 30 percent lower throughput in comparison to the same period last year. The maritime throughput within the general cargoes decreased by 44 percent in the segment of iron product., due to the world economic cooling down and difficulties connected with COVID-19 epidemic.

5 percent lower export was recorded in timber throughput.

8.2.2 Containers

In January - September 2020, the maritime throughput of containers in TEU was by 3 percent lower in comparison with 2019.

In the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a relevant negative impact on the maritime throughput (in TEUs) in China which paralysed the economy for several weeks. As a consequence, there was reduced import through the Port of Koper and partially reduced export quantities. Due to the COVID -19 spread across Europe and the impact on the European production, also in the second and third quarter of 2020 Luka Koper Group recorded a slight fall in cargo throughput. Drop in quantities in import is mainly related with the European car industry in the hinterland, which reduced resp. even stopped the production.

In comparison with the previous year, in the first nine months of 2020, the containers throughput in TEU was by 3 percent lower, whilst in the neighbouring port of Trieste it was lower by one percent.,11 percent drop in the troughput was recorded in the Port of Venice. The Port of Rijeka does not publish infra-annual throughput statistics public.

8.2.3 Cars

In January – September 2020, 426,107 cars were transhipped, which was 15 percent decline compared to the same period in 2019. Lower throughput this year is due to COVID-19 outbreak and related measures. Due to the closure of car plants, car stores and difficulties in logistics (transport), the transhipment of cars in 2020 decreased in comparison to achieved quantities of cargo in 2019.

252.8 thousand cars were loaded onto ships, and 173.3 thousand cars unloaded.

The transhipment of cars improved in comparison with the half-year results. Although Luka Koper, d. d., recorded a 15-percent fall in the volume of throughput in the first nine months of 2020 in comparison with the previous year, it recorded the minimum decrease among Mediterranean ports. The transhipment of cars in the Port of Barceloni was lower by 45 percent, in the Port of Valencia by 33 percent. The transhipment of cars in the northern European port of Antwerp declined even by 29 percent.

8.2.4 Liquid cargoes

In January – September 2020, the throughput of liquid cargoes in comparison with the equivalent period in 2019 decreased by 21 percent. In the product subgroup of liquid cargoes, the throughput decreased by 26 percent in comparison with the previous year, mainly due to the reduced retail sale of petroleum products and a sharp decrease of air traffic.

8.2.5 Dry and bulk cargoes

In January – September 2020, the maritime throughput of dry and bulk cargoes decreased by 28 percent in comparison with the same period in 2019. Luka Koper Group recorded the decrease mostly in the throughput ofvthe thermal coal of which consumption continues to decrease in accordance with the EU legislation which provides for complete decarbonisation in the coming years. Besides that, high environmental taxes on CO2 emissions which makes the consumption and the competitivity in this energy segment even more difficult

The maritime throughput in the product group of dry bulk cargoes remained at the same level as last year.

9 Non-financial investments

10 Risk management

10.1 Explanatory note to the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) outbreak

COVID-19 outbreak affected the economy and logistics flows. On 2 March, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia declared the epidemic of COVID-19 which lasted till 1 June, on 18 October 2020 the Government declared the new epidemic. Luka Koper Group has been endeavouring to minimize the consequences of the pandemic. At COVID-190 outbreak, Luka Koper Group firstly adopted measures for the protection of persons.. The Port of Koper is the facility of a special importance for defence and the economy of the Republic of Slovenia and has status of critical infrastructure facility Luka Koper, d. d., as concessionaire in the Port of Koper, drawn up crisis response plan, this including also the pandemic. Prior to the first case of infection with the coronavirus in Slovenia, Luka Koper, d. d., set up a work group which adopts measures for preventing the spread of infection. The Company also adopted a protocol on informing and taking actions in case of the suspected ingfection offshore and onshore which was harmonised with the National Institute of Public Health and all government bodies excercising their powers in the port's zone. Besides these measures, Luka Koper, d. d., adopted several additional measures among which also: adjustment of working hours in operations and other processes with aim to reduce a direct contact among the organisation of work with emphasis on remote work and implementation of remote meetings as well as reinforced self-protective and hygiene measures, daily informing about the infection rate in the Port of Koper has been intzroduced, additionally, Protection and rescue plan in the event of an epidemic, will be drawn up. Also the Port's section of Civil Protection was involved in the control over the implementation of preventive measures and set up Civil protection committee, which controls whether measures are respected and provides additional desinfection in the Port. The adopted measures and activities are updated and communicated to internal and external public, business partners and all interested stakeholders. Stakeholders. The fear of consequences of coronavirus and endeavours to prevent its expansion will have an impact also on supply chains and logistics flows and consequently Luka Koper, d. d.,, where the consequences could be reflected in a reduced volume of throughput and increased volume of goods in warehouses. Depending on developments, due to a potential global economic recession and new waves of epidemic, the coronavirus COVID-19 epidemic will have a negative impact on the performance of the Luka Koper Group. It is difficult to predict to which extent because of a great uncertainty associated with the virus itself and the capability to control it.

10.2 Other risks

As regards commercial risks, the economic slowdown, projections of a decline of the growth of markets and other risks in the international environment will further present a risk for a lower throughput and consequently the deviation of the revenue from sale. International Monetary Fund forecats 8.3 percent fall in GDPin euro area in 2020. In 2021, economic growth is projected at 5.2 percent. However, this assesment is based on the assumption of a rapid economic recovery after the end of the epidemic. Among commercial risks, also risks related to the development of competitive ports and entering of larger shiping companies in the ownership of neighbouring ports (Trieste, Rijeka, Pireus) likely resulting in the shift of a part of cargoes to other routes, have been increasing. Besides that, the neighbouring ports pay a lot of attention to the enhnacement of the competitivity in railway transport. Said risks are managed with marketing activities directed in the existing and acquisition of new businesses, and applying particular warehousing terms for cargo, subject to unfavourable (emergency) situation in the market.

Other two strategic risks resulting from the external environment, remain the uncertainty about the construction of the second railway track and obsolete, insufficient capacities of the existing railway line, thus undermining further growth of throughput also until the construction of the second railway track of the existing railway line. . In 2019, a project group, which started to implement the activities aimed to improve IT support, implementation of infrastructure interventions and organisational changes, was set up. In 2020, the activities related to the coordination of needs in railway infrastructure will continue. In the third quarter of 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the railway tunnel Karavanke is intended to be closed. Due to planned works and closure of the tunnel Karavanke the customers might redirect their logistic through other ports, mainly through Northern European ports, mostly at risk is the cargo group of vehicles. Have only a limited impact on this fact, the risk may be managed with operational coordination and notifications during the closure of the railway tunnel Karavanke.

The risk management activities relating to the implementation of key investment projects, continue In the first stage which will last until the end of March 2021, the operational quay will be constructed within the extension of the Pier I. Works will continue with the construction of storage areas for containers and are projected to be completed one year later. The investment concerning the extension of the Pier I comprises the construction of the operational quay of lenghth 98.5 m and width 34.4 m and the construction of rear storage areas on the southern side of the Pier measuring 24.830 m2. Za potrebe termandala za avtomobile and ro-ro smo zaključili The construction of a new ro-ro berth and tracks group VI was completed, the constructionof the garage house with capacity of 6,000 vehicles and the third truck entrance in the in Port alongside Ankaran access road will be completed by the end of the year for the needs of the Car terminal. These investments will increase capacities of storage and berths and improve the internal logistics in the transhipment of cars and meanwhile reduce the risk arising from the development of neighbouring ports.

As of 16 January 2020, a new business model of the implementaion of port's services, entered into force, whereby compliance risk for future period. The risk of exeeding the noise thresholds towards Koper old town may be generated generated during driving the piles within the extension of the Pier I or due to excesssive noise produced when carrying out the activity. Luka Koper Group has already adopted measures which will take into consideration already at the design stage and further on at the selection of the construction works contractor will take into consideration imposing limits of noise at acceptable level. Noise measurements were carried out at driving piles, which show that measurements are within the prescribed limits. The Group manages other risks relating to excessive noise with a gradual switchover to technological equipment with electrical supply and cooperates also in the Neptunes project, in the framework of which solutions for the reduction of ship-generated noise, are sought ..

Among the financial risks we recognise risk relating to change in fair value, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, currency and credit risk and risk relating to adequate capital structure. An increase of interest rates is not expected in 2020, according to recent projections, EURIBOR should remain negative over a longer period. In the coming period, we will closely monitor the liquidity of container shipping companies and other relevant partners. Financial risks are treated in detail in the chapter Financial instruments and financial risk management.

* Fluctuation caculation method = number of departures /(previous number of employees + new recruitments) x100

The number of departures from Luka Koper Group was higher than in the same period last year. The reasons for termination of the employment relationship in more than a half of departures are dominated by the retire,ment age, to a lower extent by consenszual mployment terminations and regular terminations of the employment relationship, expiry of fixed-term employment contracts and three cases of of employees' death. Consequently, the fluctuation in Luka Koper Group was higher than in the previous year, but stil relatively low in the industry.

Intensive recruitment for the basis transhipment and storage process in 2019 importantly afffected the educational structure of Luka Koper, d. d., and Luka Koper Group, shifting towards larger share of employees at a lower level of education. Higher number of employees at higher level of education mainly resulted from the succcessfully completed the education at work.

13.2 Occupational health and safety

In September 2020, the audit reconfirmed that the occupational and health system had been successfully set up and had been implemented in accordance with a new standard ISO 45001.

By a variety of measures , such as education, additional training , informing of employees and other stakeholders in the Port, the company takes preventive actions Each serious injury is adequately examined and measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future, are taken.

* The recruitment agencies started to provide services in Luka Koper, d. d., in September 2019, therefore the comparison with the preceding period is not possible.

The target of maximum 15 occupational injuries per million hours worked was achieved, since in in January – September 2020, the Company recorded 13.4 injuries per million hours worked. Since the performance of works has been transmissed from port service providers on Luka Koper, d. d., and therewith, also injuries at work.. The increased total number of injuries resulted from the employment and reallocation of workers in other work processes, who have still been obtaining an appropriate level of knowledge and expertise in order to carry out properly their duties in a single work process.

In January 2020, one serious occupational injury occurred when during the installation of lifting bands on the cargo the worker was squeezed the thumb of the right hand, and seriously injured, and therefore the target 0 serious occupational injuries was not achieved.

In January – September 2020, 27.2 collisions per million hours worked occurred. Therefore, the target oif max 25 collisions per million hours worked, was not achieved. There was no significant material damage.

In the reported period less (27) preventive rounds were carried out, therefore the third target for 2020 has not been achieved yet. 40 extraordinary supervisions of occupational health in the port's zone were carried out.

In the toimes of the coronavirus SARS -CoV-2 (COVID-19) epidemics, a work group, composed of different departments, is operative and daily monitors the situation and adapts protection measures. The Civil protection, providing assistance in the implementation of measures and continuous monitoring of compliance with prescribed measures by employees and external stakeholders, has been activately involved.

13.1 Education, training and development of employees

In the first nine months of 2020, Luka Koper Group provided on average 10.6 hours of training per employee, 11.6 hours in Luka Koper, d. d., which was fewer number of hours than in 2019. Measures for the prevention of spread of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) affected the training, since in March – September 2020, no in-house group trainings were organised, trainings in external educational institutions were canceled or postponed to autumn. 90 percent of trainings were in-house trainings. 74 percent of employees in Luka Koper Group resp. 78 percent of employees in Luka Koper, d. d., were involved in training.

Luka Koper co-financed the acquisition of a higher level of education to two percent of employees

Luka Koper, d. d., and Adria Terminali, d. o. o., are involved in the project Competence center for HR development in logistics Logins, which will disburse grants from 50 – percent co-funding of the education and training of employees until 2022.

In the first nine months of 2020, the share of internal mobility of employees at Luka Koper Group was equal to the comparable period last year.

In the beginning of 2020, Luka Koper, d. d., started to implement annual intrerviews with all employees. In the selection for the best employer in the Zlata nit (Golden Thread) project, Luka Koper, d. d., was ranked among the finalists of large companies.

The dialogue with social partners takes place continuously, with Works Council, crane operator's union trade union and dockworkers trade union Slovenia OSO KS 90.

14 Natural environment

Luka Koper has always been concerned for improving the quality of life in the entire area in which the port is embedded. To this end, it cooperates and cofunds the educational and research institutions, supports sport, humanitarian and cultural activities. In the development issues it takes into consideration the principles of the sustainable and responsible environment management.

The most important goals in the area of natural environment in 2020 are:

  • To successfully carry out the audit in compliance with EMAS requirements
  • To obtain the certicficate for the standard SIST ISO 50001,
  • To reduce emissions of dust at all ten port's locations to 200 mg/m2day and max 5 deviations from 120/th measurements in the course of the year
  • To keep the value of PM10 particles (the size up to 10 μm) emissions below 30 μg/m3 in the entire Port's area (in direction towards Ankaran, Koper and Bertoki),
  • To increase the percentage of separately collected waste above 91 percent,
  • To drecrease night-time noise to 48 dBA in the direction of Koper,
  • To keep the daily-time noise level to 58 dB in front of closest buildings outside the Port's area and the night-time to 53 dB,
  • To modernise the drainage at the Dry Bulk Terminal and installation of the treatment plant at the Livestock Terminal,
  • To keep specific consumption of energy at the last year level, despite the increased throughput and enlarged storage areas and namely for motor fuel 0,23 l/t, for electric energy 1,27 kWh/t, potable water 6,4 l/t,
  • Without taking actions (inspection and internal) in environmental interventions,
  • Without pollution outside the Port's aquatorium,
  • To ensure an efficient and adequate system of the supply with water for fire extinguishing in the port's area and the provision of an adequate provision of fire-fighting for specific buildings.

14.1 EMAS certificate

In March 2020, Luka Koper, d. d., successfully passed the first certification according to ISO 50001 requirements and obtained the certificate. Furthermore, the assessment according to EMAS regulation was succesfully implemented and renovated the certificate.

14.2 Atmosphere

Striving for a constant reduction in emissions that are produced by the performance of port activities involves many activities. The most important measures for the reduction in dusting are the introduced technology of applying paper mill sludge to the coal and iron ore disposal area. Paper mill sludge builds a solid layer that prevents drifting of dust.

14.2.1 Total dust in the port

Luka Koper, d. d., has been controlling measurements of the total volume of dust carried by Luka Koper, d. d., yet from 2002 on ten measurement points in the Port. We have set the annual goal not to exceede 200 mg/m2day and the average of measurement values for the reported period is 111 mg/m2day. In January – September 2020, 7 deviations were recorded. The law does not prescribe limit values resp. permitted deviations for such measurements.

Table 9: Comparison of mean values of PM10 ,

1 – 9 2020 1 – 9 2019 Index
2020/2019
Average value of dust deposits (mg/m2day) 111 111 100

14.2.2 Quantity of health hazardous dust particles (PM10)

Statutory prescribed measurings of fine dust particles (PM10), have been carried out in the Port of Koper and are continuously measured on three points within the Port. The measurement devices are placed inside the port zone, but in the immediate proximity of the residential area Rožnik in Ankaran, towards Bertoki and at the Cruise terminal, in the close proximity of Koper old town centre. The measurements taken in the third quarter of 2020 were below the target value 30 μg/m3 . The company had not found out the causes for extremely high values in the first quarter of 2020, since there were higher values in the whole Primorska region and not only in Koper.

The results from two measurement devices are shown automatically every hour on the Port's web page online Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

Bertoki 21 μg/m3 23 μg/m3 91
Koper – Cruise terminal 21 μg/m3 16 μg/m3 131

14.2.3 Emissions of dust paticles on key sources

Since the permitted values of dust particles emissions of key sources are stipulated by law, we perform measurements in the direct vicinity of dust-generating sources e.g. at loading/unloading of wagons, trucks and ships. The threshold of permitted value of emissions is 20 mg/m3 . the company has not yet performed the statutory measurements for 2020.

14.3 Waste management

Various types of waste are generated in the Port of Koper. In terms of the committment for the environment, Luka Koper,d. d., regularly provides for waste separation, recycling and waste processing. The waste separation is carried out at all terminals, by the users of the economic zone and on ships. Separately collected waste materials are delivered to external waste-processing contractors and agents.

In January - September 2020, the share of sorted separately collected waste was 91 percent, and thereby the set objective of 91 sorted separately collected waste was achieved. The target reached was higher by 2 percent compared to the previous year.

14.4 Noise

Noise levels are continuously monitored by devices at three peripheral points around the port, and the results are published online via the Living with the Port www.zivetispristaniscem.si.

In 2019, a new Decree on the threshold values of environmental noise came into force, on the basis of which Luka Koper, d. d., in 2019 obtained a new environmental permit setting the noise level. The results for the first quarter are in compliance with the requirements of the environmental permit and a newly adopted Decree. Notwithstanding a new Decree, the Company keeps set determined objectives, which were in force under the previous Decree.

14.5 Energy

Luka Luka Koper, d. d., obtained the certificate to ISO 50001:2018 standard – Energy management system for the work carried out so far in the field of energy management. The implementation of this standard jointly with systematic energy management will result in additional reduction of greenhouse emissions and other related environmental impacts and energy costs. The value of standard as efficient tool for energy management is even bigger because its compliance can be proved by the certification of an independent organisation.

14.5.1 Electricity and water consumption

Specific fuel consumption in the first nine months of 2020 in comparison with 2019 was higher by 3 percent due to major share of the fuel consumption, necessary for the operation, independently of the throughput volume. The advantage of the use of electric powered cranes lays in essentially bigger efficiency of engines, lower noise level and practically zero emissions of local exhaust gases. Besides lower throughput this is the main reason for the increased specific consumption of the electric power in the first nine months of 2020 in comparison with 2019. The resaon for a higher specific water consumption in the first nine months of 2020, compared to 2019, was in slightly higher absolute water consumption and water loss from the distribution networks.

2020/2019
Consumption of electric energy (kWh/t) 0.753 0.690 109

Water consumption (l/t) 5.237 3.665 143

Table 12: Specific consumption of energy and water per handled ton of the total throughput32

14.5.2 Electricity consumption

In January – September 2020, the major consumer of the electric power in port was the Container terminal, followed by the Reefer Terminal. Among major consumers in the port are primarily quay cranes, food stuff cold storage rooms at the Reefer teminal, conveyor belts for the transhipment of the dry bulk cargo, lighting and power supply to the reefer containers. In the first nine months of 2020, the company did not achieve the target value of specific energy consumption.

14.5.3 Motor fuel consumption

In the first nine months of 2020, the Container terminal consumed 62.9 percent of motor fuel of the whole Port, followed by the General cargoes with 9.9 percent. The major consumers of fuel in the Port of Koper are terminal tractorsi (32.6 percent), followed by warehouse cranes (18.1 percent) and forklifts (12.7 percent). In January - September 2020, the company achieved the target value of specific consumption of the motor fuel.

32 Total throughput comprises maritime throughput, stuffing/unstufing of containers and land throughput.

14.6 Water

The company pays a great attention to the water as a vital good and for this reason numerous safety and treatment actions are implemented. Since the water is used mainly for sanitary purposes and for supply of vessels, the concern for an adequate purity of water is important. The water consumption is not directly reliant on the throughput and it is to acertain extent attributable to water leakages, and therefore it is difficult to manage. The repairs are constantly carried out in order to reduce water leakages. In the first nine months of 2020, the company did not achieve the target value of specific water consumption.

14.6.1 Potable water

A number of measurement were carried out within a branched system of the water supply network in the Port. In certain locations, elevated concentrations of micro-organisms were recorded and which were sanitized with additional disinfection of the water supply network (shock chlorination) and rinsing operations of the latter.

14.6.2 Waste waters

In the port, mostly urban waste waters are generated and to a lower extent, industrial waste waters. Generated industrial waste waters are prior to the discharge adequately treated in own waste water treatment plants, urban waste waters are mainly treated in the Koper central waste treatment plant.

The authorised operator has carried out the sampling of waste waters on two interceptor sludges and the results were adequate. Other samplings at outflows from treatment plants will be carried out by the end of the year.

14.7 Effect of lighting

The lighting in the port'area is in line with regulations and in a way that a light is not directed upwards. The lighting plan is published on Luka Koper, d. d., website.

14.8 Marine protetion

Pursuant to the provisions of the Concession Agreement for the performance of port activity, management, development and regular maintenance of port's infrastructure in the Koper's cargo port area, Luka Koper, d. d., regularly takes care to prevent and remove the consequences of the sea pollution. To carry out such actvities we need

In exceptional events at sea, Luka Koper, d. d., takes measures in compliance with the valid Protection and rescuing plan of Luka Koper, d. d., in case of industrial accidents.

In the third quarter of 2020, 10 incidents were recorded in the port's aquatorium. In all cases of pollution at sea measures were taken in accordance to the activation scheme of forces and ressources for minor onesnaženj accident, and the consequences of pollution were successfully dealt with within the concession area. The polluters who were tracked down reimbursed the costs.

Number of recorded events in the concession area is attributable to the consistent implementation of workshops on the environmental protection, where the employees are informed about the significance of all recorded events and consequently an efficient intervention.

15 Commitment to the comunity

The port's activity affects the life of local residents, therefore the activity of Luka Koper is sustainabiliy-oriented and socially responsible. Accordingly, seeking the balance between the company's interests and social and natural environment is in the centre of attention. An important step in this direction is the agreement concluded in 2019 with the Municipality of Koper on mitigating measures aiming to reduce the impacts of the port's activity on the environment resp. inhabitants, residing in the close vicinity of the Port who are mostly affected by its operations. On the basis of this agreement, Luka Koper, d. d., allocated a total amount of EUR 400,000 (for the period of two years) fort he implementation of mitigating measures for the reduction of emissions arising from the Port's activity. In February this year, the Municipality of Koper published public call, and 250 applications were received in due course. The funds will be distributed among approximately 59 beneficiaries who have to complete the works by the end of the year.

One of goals of the Luka Koper, d. d., strategy in the field of sponsorships and donations is also the corporate social responsibility. From January - September 2020, Luka Koper, d. d., allocated EUR 1 million for sponsorships and donations, including the subsidy for mitigating measures. The fund Living with the Port is dedicated to local projects and associations. The funds are allocated through a tender, which was not carried out this year due to the coronavirus epidemic. Therefore, Luka Koper, d. d., will allocate these funds to humanitarian purposes resp. for the mitigation of consequences to persons affected by the epidemic.

Good neighbourhood relationship is based on correct and transparent communication with the community. Koper Luka Koper communicates its socially responsible activities on its sustainable website Living with the port www.zivetispristaniscem.si and the corporate website www.luka-kp.si and on social network Facebook,with almost 10,000 followers. Besides that, more than 15,000 households in the Municipality of Koper and Ankaran received the annual issue of the sustainable magazine Port's knots, which presents the activities, achievements and challenges in the field of the sustainable development.

Active communication with the environment is reflected in the results of the annual opinion poll about that how the Port's nearby residents perceive Luka Koper, d. d., from the business and environmental aspect. The resuls showed that the majority of population (between 84 and 90 percent) considers Luka Koper, d. d., as successful, reputable and socially responsible business. More than three quarters of interviewees recognize the Company's relevant contribution to the country's economic development. 80 percent of interviewees were familiar with development plans and 78 percent of them agrees with plans. As for the environmental protection of Luka Koper, d. d., the interviewees assesssed nits activities with evaluation score of 3.6 on a scale from 1 to 5.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

Financial risks to which the Company/Group is exposed to include:

    1. Risk of change in fair value,
    1. Interest rate risk
    1. Liquidity risk,
    1. Currency risk,
    1. Credit risk, and
    1. Risk of adequate capital structure.

In the Company/Group, management of financial risks has been organized within the finance and accounting department, since the accounting for subsidiaries is carried out within Luka Koper d. d. .The existing economic environment makes forecasting future financial categories more demanding, introducing into the planned categories a higher degree of unpredictability and, consequently a higher degree of risk. The company /Group has consequently tightened the control over individual financial categories.

1. Risk management and change in fair value

Luka Koper, d. d.

As at 30 September 2020, 6.8 percent of the Company's assets were financial investments measured at fair value. (at the end of the previous year 6.4 percent).The fair value risk associated with investments in securities is demonstrated through changes in stock market prices that affect the value of these assets and, consequently the potential gain on their disposal, whereas with investments in shares of other companies there is a risk for the sales value not to equal the value of the market transaction. This type of risk has been recognised with regard to investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and to investments in shares and interests.

As at 30 September 2020, the value of non-current investments at fair value amounted to EUR 40,135,512.

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value was based on the assumption of a 10-percent increase in the value of the index and accordingly, such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of market securities portfolio by EUR 4,013,551. A 10 percent decrease in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by that same amount.

If this was the case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognised as either an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income within equity for investments into securities, and within profit or loss for investments into other companies.

4. Management of currency risk

The risk of changes in foreign exchange rates arises from trade receivables denominated in US dollars (USD). In recent years, the Company/Group has succeeded in achieving significantly lower accrued income in US dollars to the extent that US dollars denominated receivables are negligible, based on which the Company/Group has opted not to hedge this item.

5. Management of credit risk

Management of the risk of default on the side of the counterparty or the credit risk has gained in importance in recent years. Customer defaults are being passed on to economic entities, much like a chain reaction, which significantly reduces the assessed probability of timely inflows and increases additional costs of financing the operation. Accordingly, the Company/ the Group has accelerated collection-related activities in the past years and more consistently monitored trade receivables past due. In case of customers, regarding whom the Company/Group detects late payments and inconsistency in observing adopted business agreements, and advance payment system is set up for all ordered services with the aim of avoiding the late payments. This area is positively impacted by the specific structure of the Company's/Group's customers, who are predominantly major companies, freight forwarders and forwarding agents that have been the Company's/Group's business partners for a number of years.

Certain Company's/Group's receivables have been secured with collaterals, which are returned to the customers once all obligations have been settled or cooperation has been terminated. Investments include loans, which are secured with blank bills of exchange and other movable and immovable property.
