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 conseuqnces could be reflected in a reduced volume of throughput and increased volume of goods in warehouses. Depending on developments, COVID-19 panpidemic could have a negative impact on the performance of 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. Therefore, at this time, the Group is unable to provide an assesment of impacts on the achievemnt of financial results in 2020.

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. Among risks, also risks related to the development of competitive ports and entering of larger shiping companies in the ownership of neighbouring ports (Treste, Rijeka, Pireus), likely resulting in the shift of a part of throughput to other routes, have been increasing. Besides that, the neighbouring ports pay a lot of attention to the enhancement of competitivity in railway transport. A relevant risk is also the enhancement of Northern Adriatic ports, which are the competition in important hinterland markets. Said risks are managed with marketing activities directed in the of existing and acquisition of new businesses, and applying particular warehousing terms for cargo, facing 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, the railway tunnel Karavanke is intended to be closed. Due to planned works and closure of the tunnel Karavanke the cusomers might redirect their logistic through other ports, mainly through Northen European ports, mostly at risk is the cargo group of vehicles. Have only a limited impact on this fact, the rsk may be managed with operational coordination and notifications during the closure of the railway tunnel Karavanke.d

The risk management activities relating to the implementation of key investment projects, continue. The selection of the contractor fort he construction of the operational quay and rear storage areas for the needs of the container terminal, became final. The selected company will start the preparation works immediately after the contract is signed, whilst the start of works is planned in summer. 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. The construction of a new ro-ro berth, garage house with capacity of 6.000 vehicles and tracks group VI will be completed for the needs of the Car terminal. The building permit for the entrance in Bertoki is in the process of being obtained. The investments will increase capacities of storage and berths and improve the internal logistics in the transhipment of cars.

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. The Group manages the risks relating to excessive noise with a gradual switchover to technological equipment with electrical supply, 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 treatzed in detail in the chapter Financial instruments and financial risk manegement.

Comparison betweeen recruitment, termination and turnover rate

*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 leaving or termination of the employment relationship are dominated by retirement age, followed by expiry of fixedterm employment contracts and in two cases, the employees' deaths. 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 last year iportantly afffected the educational structure of Luka Koper, d. d., and Luka Koper Groups, 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 March 2020, Luka Koper, d. d., completed successfully the first part of the certification according to a new standard ISO 45001.

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

The target of maximum 15 occupational injuries per million hours worked was not achieved, since in the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded 19.3 injuries per million hours worked.

In the first quarter of 2020, one serious 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 the first quarter of 2020, there was no collective injury at work.

In January – March 2020, 19.3 collisions per million hours worked occurred. Therefoere, the target of max 25 collisions, was not achieved. There was no significant material damage.

In the reported period, 7 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.

At the time of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), 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, was activated.

13.3 Education, training and development of employees

In the first quarter of 2020, Luka Koper Group provided lower number of hours of training than in the equivalent periood last year and namely 4.4 hours of training per employee in Luka Koper Group and 4.8 hours in Luka Koper, d.d. Measures for the prevention of spread of coronavirus SARS -CoV-2 (COVID-19) affected the training, since in March 2020 no in-house group trainings were organised, and trainings in external education/training institutions were cancelled. Only induction programmes resp. instructorship as part of training to operate machinery and periodical tests of occupational safety were carried out . 95 percent of training was in-house training. 57 percent of employees in the Luka Koper Group and 62 percent of employee in Luka Koper, d. d., were involved in training.

The Luka Koper Group co-financed the acquisition of a higher level of education by over percent of employees. Luka Koper, d. d., has one scholarship for the academic year 2019/2020.

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 quarter of 2020, the share of internal mobility of employees was minor compared to the same period of the last year, thus reulting from the major organisational changes last year.

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

The company is constantly engaged in social dialogue, both with the Workers 'Council, as well as with the SŽPD Luka Koper trade unions and the ' Union of port workers of Slovenia OSO KS 90.

14 Natural environment

Luka Koper has always been concerned for improving of the quality of life in the entire area in which the port is situatec. 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,
  • Obtainment of the certificate 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 keep 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 the modernisation 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, Likewise the assessment according to EMAS regulation was succesfully implemented.

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

Control 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 measuremenmt values fort he reported period is 100 mg/m2day. In January – March 2020, only one deviation was recorded. The law does not prescribe limit values resp. permitted deviations for such measurements.

1 – 3 2020 1 – 3 2019 Index
2020/2019
Average value of dust deposits (mg/m2day) 100 123 81

14.2.2 Quantity of health hazardous dust particles (PM10)

Statutory prescribed measurings of fine dust particles (PM10), are carried out by an authorised organisation and are continuously measured on three points within the Port. The measurements taken in the first quarter of 2020 were above the target value 30 μg/m3 (in comparison with the previous year they doubled), but are below the statutory set up volume of 40 μg/m3 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.

On the graph below are shown PM10 values for locations within the port, Markovec and Nova Gorica, which doubled in compatrison with the same period in the previous year and coincide with higher values in the whole Primorska region. This is mainly attributable to the dust, blossoming this year, since in the first quarter of 2020 there was little precipitations (first quarter 2019 = 152 mm, first quarter 2020 = 88 mm). Last significant rainfall was in the beginning of March.

Koper – Cruise terminal 35 μg/m3 17 μg/m3 206

14.2.3 Emissions of dust patrticles on key sources h

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, whereas organic waste is processed at the composting plant in the port. Green pruning of local inhabitans is processed into compost.

In the first quarter of 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 reeached 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 thenfirst quarte are in compliance with the requirements of the environmental permit and a newly adopted Decree. Notwithstanding a ne Decree, the Company keeps set determined objectives, which were in force under the previous Decree.

Data in table show the noise without ships and in the front of the first buildings outside the Port's zone

14.5 Energy

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 quarter of 2020 in comparison with 2019 was lower, due to the increased use of electrified RTG cranes. The advantage of using the electric energy for driving cranes is in significantly higher efficiency of machinery, low noise level and practically zero local emissions of exhaust gases. Besides the lower volume of throughput this is the main reason leg nižjega throughput for a specific consumption of electric energye in the first quarter of 2020, in comparison with the same period in 2019. The resaon for a higher specific use of water consumption in the first quarter of 2020, in comparison to the year 2019, is in slightly higher absolute water consumption and water loss from the distribution networks.

Consumption electric energy (kWh/t) 0.80 0.72 111
Motor fuel consumption (l/t) 0.120 0.121 99
Water consumption (l/t) 6.58 3.86 170

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

14.5.2 Electricity consumption

In the first quarter of 2020 , the major consumer of the electric power in the port was the Container terminal , followed by Bulk cargoes 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 quarter of 2020, the company did not achieve the target value of specific energy consumption.

14.5.3 Motor fuel consumption

In the first quarter of 2020, the Container terminal consumed 59.7 percent of motor fuel of the whole Port, followed by the General cargoes terminal with 8 percent. The major consumers of fuel in the Port are terminal tractors (30.9 percent), followed by forklifts (19 percent) and warehouse cranes (18.4 percent). In the first quarter of 2020, the company achieved the target value of specific consumption of the motor fuel.

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 quarter of 2020 , the company did not achieve the target value of specific water consumption.

14.6.1 Potable water

In the first quarter of 2020 measurements of the quality of the potable water have not been carried out yet, cruise vessels have not arrived.

14.6.2 Waste waters

In the port mainly 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 during 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 protection

First inventory of flora and fauna in the Port's aquatorium was carried out. On the basis of all samplings, an overview on the quantity of species in the aquatorium of the Port of Koper will be made. As concerns fauna which comprises only animal species and takes into consideration the results, acquired by samplings of soft sediment seabed and rocky seabed and zooplankton data, the number of total invertebrate species was 325. Adding to this 27 types of fish, then the animal species total 352. Due to the fact that approximately 2,250 species of various sea animals were established in the Slovenian sea so far, this represents approximately 16 percent of all species living in the Slovenian sea.

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 special equipment, boats and skilled staff.

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.

V Ion the first quarter of 2020, 14 incidents incidents were recorded in the port's aquatorium. In all cases of pollution at sea, which were of smaller, local scale measures were taken in accordance to the activation scheme of forces and ressources for minor accident, and the consequences of pollution were successfully dealt with within the concession area. The polluters who were tracked down reimbursed the costs of cleaning.

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.

Financial instruments and financial risk management

Financial risk comprises:

.

    1. risk management of the change in fair value,
    1. management of interest rate,
    1. management of liquidity risk,
    1. management of currency risk
    1. management of credit risk and
    1. risk management relating to adequate capital structure.

The company's /Group's 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 specifics of the existing economic environment make forecasting future financial categories even more demanding and introduce into the plans a higher degree of unpredictability and, consequently, higher level of risk. The company /Group has consequently tightened the control over individual financial categories.

1. Risk management relating to change in fair value

Luka Koper, d. d.

As at 31 March 2020, Luka Koper, d. d. had invested 5.6 percent of its assets (at the end of the previous year 6.4 percent) in investments measured at fair value through the comprehensive income. The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market 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 recognized with regard to investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and to investments in shares and interests.

As at 31 March 2020, the value of non-current investments at fair value amounted to EUR 32,680,717.

Sensitivity analysis of finance investments at fair value:

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31 March 2020

Luka Koper, d. d.
Change of index in % Impact on equity
-10% -3,268,072
10% 3,268,072

Risk of change at fair value of securities as at 31 December 2019

Luka Koper, d. d.
Change of index in % Impact on equity
-10% -3,680,886
10% 3,680,886

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value was based on the assumption of a 10-percent increase in the fair value of the index and accordingly such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of the market securities portfolio by EUR 3,268,072. A 10 percent decrease in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by the same amount.

If this was the case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognized 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.

Luka Koper Group

As at 31 March 2020, Luka Koper Group had invested 6.0 percent (as at 31 December 2019, 6.7 percent) in investments measured at fair value through the comprehensive income. The fair value risk associated with these investments is demonstrated through changes in stock market 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 recognized with regard to investments in market securities of Slovenian companies and to investments in shares and interests.

As at 31 March 2020 the value of non-current investments at fair value amounted to EUR 36,028,514.

Sensitivity analysis of finance investments at fair value:

Change of index in % Impact on equity

10% 4,017,513

The sensitivity analysis of investments at fair value was based on the assumption of a 10-percent increase in the fair value of the index and accordingly such growth would result in an increase in the fair value of the market securities portfolio by EUR 3,602,851. A 10 percent decrease in the comparable class would have the opposite effect, reducing the fair value of these investments by the same amount.

If this was the case, the amount of the difference in fair value would be recognized 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.

To calculate Level 3 value, the Company/Group uses the information available to it to compare the value of the investment that the Company/Group discloses in the books of account with relative value in the equity of the investment company at the balance sheet day.

2. Management of interest rate risk

With respect to its liabilities, 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.

As at 31 March 2020 the share of financial liabilities (without other liabilities), stood at the same level as in 2019, in the amount of 18.7 percent. 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 on 45.9 percent (the same as at 31 December 2020); the remaining 54.1 percent of borrowings were concluded with a fixed interest rate.

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.

6. Risk management relating to adequate capital structure
