2 Performance hiughlights of the Luka Koper in January - June 2023

The first half of 2023 ended with good business results for the Luka Koper Group. All financial indicators exceeded the planned indicators for the period. Net sales in the amount of EUR 158.9 million were ahead on planned by 9 percent or EUR 13.3 million. Compared to the same period of the previous year, net sales increased by 2 percent or EUR 3.8 million, despite the expected decrease of revenue from storage fees. Higher revenue resulted from stuffing and unstuffing of containers. Revenue from storage fees decreased by 20 percent or EUR 8.5 million compared to the same period last year due to the shortening of the container retention time in the warehouses as the result of normalization of the situation on the global logistics market. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the first half of 2023 amounted to EUR 37.6 million and was higher than planned by 87 percent or by EUR 17.5 million, and by 21 percent or EUR 10.2 million below the achieved in the first half in the previous year. Despite the achieved higher net sales revenue in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022, two factors i.e a rise in costs as a result of inflationary pressures and a drop in revenues from storage fees affected a lower earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Higher throughput was achieved in both strategic product groups of containers (in TEU) and cars (in units) compared to the plan and compared to the previous year. Total maritime throughput in tons was slightly lower than planned quantities and lower than the achieved throughput in the first half of 2022. A new monthly record was set in maritime throughput of containers in March 2023, and namely 105,744 container units TEU, and a new monthly record in the maritime transshipment of cars in the amount of 87,533 cars.

The Russian -Ukrainian conflict continues even in 2023. The direct exposure of the Luka Koper Group towards Rusia and Ukraine is otherwise relatively small, since the volume of throughput via the Port of Koper, destined to the Russian and Ukrainian markets, is negligible. Notwithstanding, the Management Board regularly monitors the market conditions and responds to ensure the smooth operations of the Luka Koper Group. On the energy markets, however, the uncertainity regarding the supply of energy products and price movements decreased slightly. Following the gas stocks accumulations in Europe and weaker than expected demand in China, energy prices have fallen significantly from their peaks in 2022. Although the outlook for the economic growth in the beginning of 2023 improved, indicators do not indicate a more pronounced recovery of the economic activity in the first half of the year. However, international institutions have foreseen the strenghtening of economic activities in the second half of the year.

The situation in the logistics at the global level is also quite complex. The arrivals of containers ships both on direct connections with Far East and from Mediterranean ports are still unreliable, container freight rates have dropped to pre-Covid level. European ports mainly face a high saturation of of car transhipment terminals.

The Luka Koper Group continues to implement major investments fort he most relevant strategic commodity groups containers and cars.

3.1 Business development strategy

MISSION

By observing the highest standards of sustainable development and innovative approaches, we provide our partners efficient, reliable and high-quality services.

VISION

Luka Koper as a leading port operator and global logistics solutions provider for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

VALUES

Luka Koper continued its activities to achieve the objectives set out in the Strategic Business Plan 2020–2025, increasing the throughput of containers to1.2 million container units (TEU) and cars na 0.9 million units. In addition to the Company's objectives and orientations, the Strategy outlines nine strategic projects, with which the Company will implement this strategic business plan. The projects include capacity expansions in both strategic commodity groups and the digitalisation of key processes, anotably in linking the entire logistics chain, and increasing port throughput. The development of the Port of Koper relies on the construction of a second Divača and Koper railway track, which began in 2021, and according to the information of the company 2TDK (concession holder for construcion and management of the second Divača–Koper railway track) will be operational in 2026. This implies that until the end of 2025, Luka Koper cannot expect any significant increase in railway capacitiy. In the meantime, the company and its stakeholders will be increasing the capacity of the existing railway line through organisational measures, infrastructural adjustments and information technology measures. Meanwhile, further growth is also expected in road transport.

The company has set the following objectives until 2025:

Target Target value in 2025
Net sales revenue 279.4 million EUR
Total throughput 27.3 million tons
Containers throughput 1.227 million TEU

4 Business report

4.1 Performance of the Luka Koper Group in January - June 2023

The Luka Koper Group closed the first half of 2023 with good business results. All financial indicators exceeded the planned indicators for the period, but they are slightly lower than those achieved in the same period of the previous year. In both strategic commodity groups of containers (in TEU) and cars (in units), a higher throughput was achieved compared to the plan and also to the same period of the previous year. Total shipping throughput, measured in tonnes, in the first half of 2023 was slightly lower than planned volumes and lower than achieved in the first half of 2022, mainly due to a higher proportion of empty containers transhipped during this period, while the total number of handlings increased. In the month of March 2023, a new monthly record of shipping container transshipment was achieved, namely 105,744 TEU container units were transshipped, as well as a new monthly record of transshipment of cars in the amount of 87,533 vehicles.

The lower throughput of the commodity group of general cargoes, compared to the same period of the previous year, was mainly impacted by reduced throughput of steel products and cautchouc, due to the greater containerisation of the latter. Higher throughput of timber was recorded in the maritime throughput of timber. However, the trend of containerisation of these goods has been increasing, which is reflected in the increase of additional services of containers stuffing and a modified ratio between full and empty containers for the benefit of empty ones.

The irregular arrivals of ships both on direct connections with the Far East and other Mediterrannean ports continued also in the second half of 2023. Despite irregular arrivals of vessels, the land part of the logistic chain performed slightly better, so that the container terminal recorded lower occupancy of the terminal than in the previous year. In January – June 2023, the maritime throughput of containers was 5 percent higher than i the comparable period last year and amounted to 554,949 TEU. In March, the container terminal set an absolute monthly record of containers throughput with 105,744 TEU and thus firstly surpassed the limit of 100,000 TEU.

The maritime throughput of cars (in units) in the first half of 2023 was 23 percent ahead on equivalent period of the previous year. Luka Koper recorded higher throughput both in export, mainly for the Middle East and Far East, as well as in import, where the share of electric vehicles, mostly Chinese, has been increasing significantly. In March the car terminal set an absolute monthly record with 87,533 vehicles transhipped.

The throughut of liquid cargoes in January – June 2023 was 7 percent higher in comparison wih the same period last year, the throughput increased in all commodity groups.

The maritime throughput of the cargo group dry and bulk cargoes in the first half of 2023 was lower by 15 percent in comparison with the equivalent period in 2022, above all the throughput of soya, aluminum oxide, phospates and coal.

In the whole structure of the maritime throughput predominate containers, of which share increased by 1.7 percentage point. The share of the commodity group liquid cargoes increased by 1.9 percentage point in comparison with 2022, the share of the commodty group cars by 1.3 percentage point. The share of the commodity group dry and bulk cargoes decreased by 3.4 percentage point, the share of the commodity group general cargoes by 1.4 percentage point.

4.1.1 Financial analysis of the performance of the Luka Koper Group

In the first half of 2023, the Luka Koper Group achieved good business results. Net sales were higher by 2 percent or EUR 3.8 million compared to the comparable period of the previous year. Higher revenue resulted from higher costs of services and higher revenue and higher revenue from stuffing and unstuffing of containers. The revenue from storage fees decreased by 20 percent or EUR 8.5 million in comparison with the previous year, as the growth trend of this type of revenue moderated at the end of 2022, because after the gradual normalization of the situation on the global logistics market the retention time of goods in warehouses started to decrease.

In the first half of 2023, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 37.6 million and were lower by 21 percent or EUR 10.2 than EBIT achieved in the first half of the previous year. Despite the achieved higher net sales in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022, the higher growth in operating costs had a negative impact on the achieved operating result (EBIT). Compared to the first half of 2022, all types of costs increased in 2023, whilst the operating expense was below the expected costs of the reporting period.

In the first half of 2023, the operating expense amounted to EUR 123.2 million anbd in comparison with the comparable period in 2022 increased by 13 percent or by EUR 14.2 million. All types of costs increased. Within the cost of material, the cost of energy increased due to the higher consumption and higher costs of electricity, also the costs of spare partes increased due to the higher volume of maintenance works and higher costs of material. Within the costs of services the cost of port services increased consequently to the higher volume of business operations, mainly due to the higher martime transhipment of cars. The costs of port services increased, higher concession fee resulted from higher net sales. Due to the higher volume of maintenance works and higher costs, the maintenance costs increased, the costs of IT support were higher. Labour costs were higher due to the higher number of employees, higher payments for job performance and the adjustment of salaries for inflation. Costs of amortisation were higher due to new purchases of assets, other operating expenses were higher than last year's due to higher compensation costs for the use of building land and higher compensation costs.

Share of operating expenses within net revenue from sale

Share of operating expenses within net revenue from sale in January – June 2023 amounted to 77.5 percent, which was 7.3 percentage point ahead on 2022, mainly due to higher operating expense as a result of inflation developmnets. In comparison with 2022, the share of services costs and share of labour costs increased, shares of other types of costs remained unchanged.

The achieved net profit or loss in the first half 2023 in the amount of EUR 32 million was lower than the achieved net profit or loss in the first half of the previous year by 23 percent or EUR 9.5 million. The net operating result was positively affected by the operating result from financing from higher interest income.

As at 30 June 2023, the balance sheet of the Luka Koper Group amounted to EUR 808.9 million, which was 15 percent or EUR 107.8 million ahead on 31 December 2022.

Assets structure

Within non-current assets of the Luka Koper Group the value of property, plant and equipment as well as value of investments, measured at fair value, increased. Current assets increased due to trade receivables, following the increase of revenue, and from placement of funds in short-term bank deposits amounting to EUR 90 million as at 30 June 2023.

Structure of liabilities

The increase of equity of the Luka Koper Group in the first half of 2023 by EUR 5.4 million was the net effect of the transfer of net profit or loss of the period in the amount of EUR 32 million and positive changes of revaluation surplus of investments in the amount of EUR 8.4 million, and its decrease due to the transfer of a part of the profit fort he paying out of the dividends of the controlling company in the amount of EUR 35 million, according to the decision of the Shareholders' Meeting which was held in June 2023. Non-current liabilities with long-term provisions and long-term accrued costs and deferred revenue of the Luka Koper Group as at 30 June 2023 were EUR 46.6 million higher as at 31 December 2022, mainly affected by the change of non-current financial liabilities. Non-current financial liabilities in the reported period increased by EUR 47.1 million and namely as the net effect of the realised drawdown of funds according to the concluded long-term credit contract of the controlling company in the amount of EUR 60 million and the transfer of principals from contractually agreed amortisations schedules to non-current liabilities. As at 30 June 2023, non-current liabilities of the Luka Koper Group were higher by EUR 55.8 million compared to 31 December 2022. The increase is the result of the increase of current financial liabilities by EUR 41.9 million due to the liabilities related to the distribution of the operating result and the aforesaid drawdown of a new loan, increase of operating and other liabilities by EUR 20.5 million, mainly due to the increased volume of business and higher excises duties on energy products and decreased income tax liabilities by EUR 6.6 million due to the payment of liability.

Financial liabilities of the Luka Koper Group as at 30 June 2023 amounted to EUR 152.7 million, which was EUR 89 million ahead on 31 December 2022. The increase in the amount of EUR 35 million was attributable to the increase of liabilities related to the distribution of the profit due to the transfer of dividends to the payment, whilst the liabilities for received loans increased by EUR 54.1 million.

The liquidity of the Luka Koper Group was very good, as at 30 June 2023, the Group reported cash and cash equivalents in the amount of EUR 89.5 million and short-term given deposits in the amount of EUR 90 million.

As at 30 June 2023, the net financial indebtedness/EBITDA9 ratio amounted to 0.6. The increase in the value of the indicator is the result of the fact that the Luka Koper Group companies, due to the changed situation in the financial markets, placed a part of their surplus cash in the amount of EUR 90 million in deposits in banks and which are not included in the calulation of the net financial indebtedness. If the Luka Koper Group were to keep all surplus cash assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents, the value of the net financial indebtedness/EBITDA would be still negative i.e. -0,2.

4.1.2 Comparison of the results achieved by the Luka Koper Group, achieved in January - June 2023, in relation to the plan

In the first half of 2023, the Luka Koper Group exceeded planned performance indicators.

4.1 Risk management and opportunities

4.1.1 Impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the business performance of the Luka Koper Group

The Russian - Ukraine conflict has no relevant impact on the Company's strategic orientations and goals. DSue to the small volume of business in the affected region and consequently, low exposure to it, the aggravated circumstances will not materially affect the operating profit. The Luka Koper Group does not intend to apply to the State aid. No impact was encountered on the Group's employees, since there are no Group's representatives in the affected regions.

The Luka Koper Group estimates that the war in Ukraine may indirectly impact the Group's business performance in 2023. The invasion of Ukraine has already affected the loss of throughput of project cargo due to Russian ownership of the customer's production. A negative impact may be the result of restrictions on the export of certain commodity groups from Europe in order to ensure self-suffiuciency. Currently, the exact impact of the war on business results can not be predicted, but based on currently available information, a long-term impact on the company's operations is not expected.

Current trends in energy, raw materials and food markets affected by the war in Ukraine, show additional inflationary pressures and which impacted higher operation expenditure. The estimation of the future impact of the Russian invasion o Ukraine was made on the basis of assumptions that the conflict would not expand in other areas and that it would not last long. In case of a protracted conflict, this could be reflected in more pronounced increase of energy and food commodities and long-term high inflation. The Group has been implementing the following actions for risk management:

  • Luka Koper, d. d., had concluded a contract for the supply of petroleum derivatives until mid-2023. The contract lays down, that the price of petroleum products is established on the basis of price quotations and fixed margin.
  • Luka Koper, d. d., includes provisions on the adjustment of sales prices to inflation in contracts.
  • The supply of the electricity was contracted with the supplier, with which the company contracted leased quantities and determined prices for the period until the end of 2024. A tender of the supply of the electricity in the period from 2025 to 2026, has also been published in the period from 2025 to 2026, with which the company will manage the risk to an accceptable level.
  • Due to longer delivery times, stocks of critical material have been increased accordingly.

Since the out break of the crisis, the Management Board has been paying additional attention to the monitoring of the state and conditions in the comoany's information environment and implement measures to ensure availability, confidentiality and integrity of information assets, and notably:

  • Regular inspection and upgrading of server and communication infrastructure.
  • Regular inspection and updating of application solutions.
  • Regular monitoring of access rights.
  • Use of multi-factor authentication.
  • Protection against DDOS attacks
  • Control over privileged users.
  • Regular raising of awareness among users

4.1.2 Other risks

Although the economic situation in the first half of 2023 improved compared to the end of 2022, and exceeded the expectations, signs of a slowdown in economic activity still prevail. With high core inflation, market stakeholders expect further increases in key interest rates of central banks. In 2024, the economy will recover moderately with less impact from inhibiting factors. The GDP growth forecast in 2023 and 2024 in important hinterland countries is significantly below the long-term average.

Gross domestic product growth slowed in the second half of 2022, uto domačega proizvoda se je v drugi polovici leta 2022, amid high inflation and tight financing. In 2023, the economic growth will moderate significantly, and in some economies it is expected to be negative. In 2024, the economy is expected to recover moderately,with less impact of current inhibiting factors. The data indicate a relatively short-term and mild recession in the European Union, with GDP growth forecast in major trading partners significantly below the long-term average. The situation in the domestic economy and the external environment are reflected in the inflation forecast, which is expected to be 6.7% in the European Union, according to the forecast of the European Commission. Forecasts for single European countries vary between 5% and even 16% (for Hungary). The inflation is expected to moderate in 2024. Inflationary trends and expectation for the company asre mainly reflected in the following areas – an increase in material costs (fuel, electric energy), labour costs and cost of services and increase in the value of planned investments, both for equipement and for infrastructure. Energy and raw material prices are expected to be high for a long time. As a result of the rise of energy prices, especially companies in energy-intensive activities face an increase of operating costs. High prices can lead to reduced production and subsequently to a decline in the throughput of some commodity groups, with some dry bulk cargoes being the most exposed.

The Group has been facing commercial risks arising from a highly competitive environment and the entry of shipowners into the ownership of terminals , which may lead to a diversion of part of the throughput. The neighbouring ports have been also paying a lot of attention to strenghtening competiveness in the field of rail connections. In recent year, storage capacities developed ine neighbourhood of the Port of Koper, in which mainly the forwarding agencies have been offering CFS services10. This represent competition for us, especially in the segment of stuffing and unstuffing of containers. On January 7, 2021 the purchase of 50.01 percent share of the company Piattaforma Logistica Trieste in the port of Koper Trst was completed by Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA). Transshipment in the segment of general cargoes, RO-RO and containers will be carried out by the company HHLA PLT Italy. The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of Rijeka decided that the APM Terminals/Enna Logic, owned by the shipping company A.P. Moller – Maersk will be the concessionaire of the container terminal for the next 50 years.

The main strategic risks originating from the external environment, remain the obsolete, insufficient capacity of the existing rail network and with the possibility of longer interruptions on the railway track to the Port of Koper which may jeopardize further throughput growth and development of the Port of Koper. The construction of the of the second rail track between Divača and Koper will contribute to the increasing capacity and reliability of the railway connection to the port, which can be fully exploited by upgrading at the same time the railway junction in from of the port of Koper. In 2023, the work will be continued by the working group that started implementing the actions from Transcare study to improve IT support, implementation of infrastructure interventions and organizational changes.

When reconsidering the Regulation on threshold values of noise indicators in ship's environment, there are risks that the ship will be redefined as a source of noise in the port, or that lower threshold values will be set, as a result of which there may be an inability to comply with legislative requirements. The Group manages the risk connected with the excessive noise by a gradual transition to technological equipment with electric power supply, also participates in the project Neptunes, within the framework of which solutions have being sought to reduce ship noise. As of January 1, 2023 the Environmental Ship Index (ESI) was introduced in the company. It is a voluntary scheme used by ports to encourage and reward environmentally and more accepatble ships, as cleaner ships will pay lower port fees. By introducing ESI system we wish to attract as many ships as possible with modern engines and cleaner drives to the port, thus reducing the emissions into the atmospehere.

The draft of the Regulation of the Europeana Pariament and Council on establishment of the infrastructure for alternative fuels, which is being coordinated, predicts that by 2030 it will be necessary to ensure the supply of ships with electricity from shore. Luka Koper, d. d., and the company ELES carry out procedures for obtaining the spacialenvironmental and project dokumentation for tdrawing up the national spatial plan for distribution transformer station Luka Koper and connecting line up to the port, which are necessary for the supply of ships with the elctricity.

The company hase recognized cliamte risks, which comprise the impact of the company's activities on cliamte change and the impact of cliamte change on the company's operations, which can have a significant impact on the company's financial performance. The transit risk is rated higher – the risk of tightening environmental policy requirements at the level of EU and Slovenia. Adapting to these requirements may represent additional financial burdens for the company for investments in replacing equipment and the construction of the additional infrastructure. Among physical climate risks, storms and extreme weather events have the highest rated risk as they increase in frequency and intensity. In July 2023, strong wind and rain have caused some emergency events in the port. No one was injured during these events, the damage has not benn yet accurately assessed. The company

10 CFS – containers stuffing/unstuffing services

has already been following the additional recommendations of the Maritime Directorate and is preparing a set of additional risk management measures in cooperation with external institutions.

In accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act, in May 2023 we established an upgraded system for reporting irregularities in the Luka Koper Group companies.

In 2023, the activities necessary to ensure the compliance with the Regulation on explosion protection (Official Gazette RS, No. 41/2016). This regulation specifies the requirements that must be met by equipment and protective systems intended for use of potentially explosive atmospheres. These are mainly used at the Bulk and liquid cargoes terminal.

In January – June 2023, the target of specific electricity consumption was not achieved. 24.6 percent higher absolute consumption of electricity, compared to the same period of the previous year was mainly impacted by the increased throughput of cold cargoes and reffere containers and the related electricity supply of reefer containers. 2 percent higher specific fuel consumption than the target value resulted from a larger volume of throughput of empty containers, which affected the smaller volume of throughput in tons, higher unplanned conumption of diesel generators for connection of reefer containers and operation of diesel engine eRTG gantry cranes, due to the current difficulties of implementing automatic connections as a result of land subsidience.

Estimates, judgements and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these situations, hence estimates and underlying assumptions are are reviewed on a regular basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period for which the estimates are modified, or in the coming periods that are impacted by respective changes.

Estimates and assumptions are mainly applied in the following judgments, without significant changes:

  • Leases- Identification of lease contracts, determination of lease duration and discount rate
  • Assessment of provisions for lawsuits
  • Assessment of the adequacy of lifetime of significant fixed assets
  • Assessment of the adequacy of the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers

1. Risk management and change in fair value

Luka Koper, d. d.

As at 30 June 2023, 7.3 percent of the Company's assets were financial investments measured at fair value (at the end of the previous year 6.9 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 June 2023, the value of non-current investments at fair value amounted to EUR 56,409,061.

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value does not disclose in the books the financial investments at fair value classified in level 3 due to their irrelevance.

The book value of receivables and current liabilities a good approximation of the fair value, therefore the Group does not disclose them in the table above.

Shares and interests measured at fair value were valued at publicly applicable exchange rates at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the list of mutual funds quotations.

In 2022, the Luka Koper Group verified the fair value of other shares and interests classified in the level 3 with a valuation carried out by an independent certified business appraiser.

2. Management of interest rate risk

With respect to its liabilities structure, the Company/Group also faces interest rate risk as an unexpected growth in variable interest rates can have an adverse effect on the planned results.

Luka Koper, d. d.

The share of financial liabilities for received borrowings increased in the overall structure of the Company's liabilities from the initial 9.5 percent at the end of 2022 to 15.2 percent as at 30 June 2023. The effect of variable interest rate changes on future profit or loss after taxes is shown in the table below.

Possible interest rate fluctuations would consequently have an impact 27.8 percent of total borrowings (as at 31 december 2022, 54.7 percent); the remaining 72.2 percent of borrowings were concluded with a fixed ineterest rate.

Total effect on interests expenses 34,295,000 51,443 85,738 171,475 342,950 514,425

The analysis of financial liabilities' sensitivity to changes in variable interest rates was based on the assumption of potential growth of interest rates of 15, 25, 50, 100 and 150 base points. As at 30 June 2023, the Company's borrowings not hedged against interest rate were subject to the movement of 3M Euribor.

Luka Koper Group

The share of financial liabilities for borrowings in the overall structure of Group's liabilities increased from initial 8.9 percent at the end of 2022 to 14.4 percent as at 30 June 2023. The effect of variable interest rates changes on future profit and losss after taxes is shown in the table shown in previous Luka Koper, d. d. tables.

Possible interest rate fluctuations would consequently have an impact 27.8 percent of all Group's borrowings (as at 31 December 2022, 54.7 percent); the remaining 72.2 percent of borrowings were concluded with a fixed interest rate.

Overview of exposure and sensitivity analysis of bank borrowings in view of the variable interest rate:

Among the Group's companies only the controlling company has borrowings, therefore the overview of exposure and the sensitivity analysis of borrowings from banks in view of the variable interest rate fluctuations are the same as in the controlling company.

3. Management of liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that the company/Group will fail to settle its liabilities at maturity. The company/Group manages liquidity risk by regular planning of cash flows with diverse maturity, in such a way that is able to meet all due obligations at any time. Additional measures for preventing from delays in receivable collection include regular monitoring of payments and immediate response to any delay and charging penalty interest in accordance with the uniform policy of receivable management.

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. The Company/Group does not disclose this item due to its immateriality.

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 deafults 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 positvely 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.

Relevant post-balance events

  • − Luka Koper, d.d. received the judgement of the Koper Higher Court (CPG 50/2023) of 6 July 2023, by which the High Court dismissed the appeals of the Applicant and of all the defendants against the judgement passed by the Koper District Court (I Pg 265/2021 of 28 September 2022). The High Court thus upheld the judgement of the Court of First Instance regarding the liability for damages of the former members of the Supervisory Board in the case concerning the purchase of a 10 % shareholding in the logistics holding company Trade Trans Invest (TTI) for an amount of EUR 16.387.100, plus interest.The judgement is final.
  • − On 19 July Koper was hit by a storm, during which the mooring ropes on the container ship have been thorn which resulted in towards the southern side of the basin I. The tugs of the company Adria-Tow were involved in the rescue, they tugged the boat and tied her up at the container terminal quayside. Strong wind and rain caused a few other damaging events in the port. No injuries were reported during the storm and damage assessment is still ongoing. The damage to two container cranes has not been repaired yet, so they are not in use, which results in longer stay of ships in the port.
