BUSINESS REPORT
Operations of the Petrol Group
The Petrol Group operates in a competitive environment influenced by oil price fluctuations, global and domestic economic developments, and national laws governing the pricing of energy products. Slovenia's economic situation is improving, but Croatia and other SE Europe countries which are part of Petrol's sales market still face extremely tough economic conditions, low purchasing power, high unemployment and lack of payment discipline. In Slovenia, the selling prices of petroleum products were higher than in most neighbouring countries.

- B. Oil and merchandise sales in EU markets
- C. Oil and merchandise sales in SEE markets
- D. Energy operations
A. Oil and merchandise sales in Slovenia
The company engaged in oil and merchandise sales in Slovenia in the first six months of 2016 was Petrol d.d., Ljubljana2 .
During this period, the Petrol Group's oil and merchandise sales in Slovenia resulted in an EBITDA of EUR 35.2 million, which accounted for 54 percent of the Petrol Group's total EBITDA and was on a par with the previous year's figure for this period.
The Petrol Group's sales of petroleum products in Slovenia
In the first six months of 2016, the Petrol Group sold 748.6 thousand tons of petroleum products in Slovenia3 , a year-on-year increase of 8 percent. Of this quantity, liquid fuels accounted for 723.9 thousand tons and other petroleum products for 24.7 thousand tons. Motor fuel sales (petrol and diesel fuel) were up 9 percent compared to the previous year's figures for this period.
Key impacts on operations
Fuel pricing in Slovenia
In Slovenia, fuel prices were set in accordance with the Decrees Setting Prices for Petroleum Products in force from 9 October 2015 to 8 February 2016, from 9 February to 8 April 2016, from 9 April to 8 June 2016 and from 9 June to 8 July 2016. In all decrees, the model-based margin applicable to government-regulated petroleum products was set at a fixed amount (EUR 0.08701 per litre of petrol and EUR 0.08158 per litre of diesel fuel).
Since 9 April 2016, the prices of the 98-octane and higher-octane petrol and of extra light heating oil have been liberalised and set by the market.
Slovenia's gross margins for petroleum products which are, under the model, set at a fixed amount and do not reflect changes in retail prices are still below European average. In the case of petrol, they amounted to 73 percent of the average gross margin in the EU countries (64 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) and in the case of diesel fuel to 59 percent (52 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) (own calculations based on Platts and Oil Bulletin data).
2Activities supporting oil and merchandise sales are also performed by the company Petrol-Trade Handelsges.m.b.H. The company Petrol Tehnologija, d.o.o. was merged into the parent company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana in May 2016. 3 The figure is inclusive of liquefied petroleum gas sales, which are described in more detail and presented separately also under
energy operations.

On 7 July 2016, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a new Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Products, which will be in force from 9 July to 8 September 2016. Under the new decree, the pricing system for the 95-octane petrol in diesel fuel remains unchanged and the model-based margin applicable to the two government-regulated petroleum products is still fixed, at EUR 0.08701 per litre of the 95-octance petrol and EUR 0.08158 per litre of diesel fuel.
Changes in oil and petroleum product prices in the world market
The average price of Brent Dated North Sea crude oil stood at USD 39.82 per barrel in the first six months of 2016, down 31 percent year-on-year. The average price in euros was down 33 percent. During this period, the price of Brent crude peaked on 8 June 2016, reaching USD 50.72 per barrel. Its lowest price was recorded on 20 January 2016 at USD 25.99 per barrel. The prices of petrol and middle distillates followed the same trends as crude oil prices.

SOURCE: Petrol, 2016

After dipping below USD 30 per barrel in January 2016, oil prices rose again in February and March as Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and Qatar first published their plans to freeze supply. On the supply side, Iran became an important player after the international sanctions had been lifted and has significantly increased oil output, which is, however, still below presanction levels. At the April meeting in Doha, OPEC failed to come to an agreement to freeze oil production. In the second quarter, oil prices rose mainly on account of lower oil stocks in the United States, increase in global oil demand, and oil and gas supply disruptions in Canada and Nigeria. Also spurring oil prices were the results of the EU referendum in the United Kingdom.
Oil price movements will continue to depend largely on the situation in the Middle East and in Iran as well as on economic growth expectations, US and EU oil stocks figures, and demand in China.
Changes in the US dollar to the euro exchange rate
The US dollar to the euro exchange rate ranged between 1.07 and 1.16 USD/EUR in the first six months of 2016. The average exchange rate of the US dollar according to the exchange rate of the European Central Bank stood at 1.12 US dollars for 1 euro in the period concerned.
The Petrol Group's sales of merchandise in Slovenia
In Slovenia, the Petrol Group generated EUR 215.3 million in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first six months of 2016, an increase of 2 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. The range at Petrol's points of sale is modified and expanded as we try to mitigate the impact of adverse economic conditions by quickly adapting the range to the needs of our service station customers.
The Petrol Group's sales of services in Slovenia
Services consist of revenue from storage and petroleum-product handling services, renting of business premises and hospitality facilities, transport, carwash services, revenue from Petrol Club cards, and other services. In the first six months of 2016, the Petrol Group generated EUR 15.9 million in revenue from the services related to oil and merchandise sales in Slovenia.
B. Oil and merchandise sales in EU markets
The companies engaged in oil and merchandise sales in EU markets in the first six months of 2016 were Petrol d.d., Ljubljana and Petrol-Trade Handelsges.m.b.H.

Key impacts on operations
Fuel pricing in Croatia
Since 20 February 2014, when the Oil and Petroleum Products Market Act entered into force and fully liberalised the pricing of petroleum products, the prices of petroleum products in Croatia have been set freely in accordance with market conditions.
4 The figure is inclusive of liquefied petroleum gas sales, which are described in more detail and presented separately also under energy operations.
Entered into the Companies Register of the District Court of Ljubljana; Company Registration Number: 5025796000; Share capital: EUR 52,240,977.04, VAT ID: SI80267432 15/61
Fuel pricing in Bosnia and Herzegovina
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the prices of petroleum products are not government-regulated and are set freely in accordance with market conditions. The prices normally change weekly. In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, retailers notify the Federal Ministry of Commerce of new retail prices four days in advance, whereas in the Republic of Srpska changes in retail prices need not be notified in advance. Due to the free setting of prices, retail fuel prices vary according to the location of a service station.
Fuel pricing in Serbia
Since the legislation liberalising Serbia's oil market (unregulated imports of oil and petroleum products) entered into force on 1 January 2011, the prices of petroleum products have no longer been government-regulated and are set freely in accordance with market conditions.
Fuel pricing in Montenegro
In Montenegro, the prices of petroleum products are set in accordance with the Regulation on the Method of Setting Maximum Retail Prices, which has been in force since 1 January 2011. The prices change fortnightly, provided that prices on the oil market (Platts European Marketscan) and the exchange rates of the euro and the US dollar change by more than 5 percent. In addition to market oil prices and changes in the exchange rates of the euro and the US dollar, the methodology used to calculate selling prices includes taxes, the costs of transhipment, handling, bank charges, storage, transport and distribution, as well as (excise) duties and an oil companies' gross margin. The oil companies' gross margin amounts to EUR 0.063 per litre of petrol, EUR 0.064 per litre of eurodiesel and EUR 0,076 per litre of extra light heating oil. In addition to the above gross margins, liquid fuel traders may factor in all of the above costs, meaning that the total gross margin amounts to EUR 0.113 per litre of petrol, EUR 0.114 per litre of eurodiesel and EUR 0.102 per litre of extra light heating oil.
Fuel pricing in Kosovo
In Kosovo, retail and wholesale prices of petroleum products are not government-regulated. Only in the case of sales of petroleum products to government institutions and state-owned companies are prices set in accordance with the prescribed methodology, which takes into account average monthly market prices, changes in the exchange rate of the euro and the US dollar, logistics costs and the maximum margin. These prices represent an unofficial basis for retail prices, which change according to market fuel prices.
The Petrol Group's sales of merchandise in SEE markets
The Petrol Group generated EUR 24.4 million in revenue from the sale of merchandise in SEE markets in the first six months of 2016, an increase of 9 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. The best results were achieved in tobacco and food sales.
Entered into the Companies Register of the District Court of Ljubljana; Company Registration Number: 5025796000; Share capital: EUR 52,240,977.04, VAT ID: SI80267432 16/61
Procurement and logistics of petroleum products and merchandise
Efficient procurement and logistics of petroleum products and merchandise are key factors of the Petrol Group's successful operating performance. Petrol buys most of its petroleum products from the largest multinational oil companies and some from major global oil and petroleum products traders. Many years of continuous cooperation with reliable and competitive suppliers give Petrol the status of a partner. As in 2015, purchased petroleum products were mostly delivered by sea in the period concerned.
Petroleum products logistics is primarily concerned with ensuring a cost-efficient and uninterrupted supply to all of the Petrol Group's markets.
In the procurement of merchandise, the main goal and task is to ensure availability of goods and provide adequate support for the provision of services at service stations in Slovenia and in SE Europe while attempting to secure optimal procurement terms. On the operational level, merchandise is procured directly from manufacturers, official distributors and strategic business partners. When putting together our range, we take into account customer requests, market shares for specific goods, as well as prices and product quality.
D. Energy operations
In the first six months of 2016, energy operations resulted in an EBITDA of EUR 13.4 million, which accounted for 20 percent of the Petrol Group's total EBITDA and was 12 percent higher compared to the previous year's figure for this period.

In the first six months of 2016, the Petrol Group sold 69.2 thousand tons of liquefied petroleum gas, a year-on-year increase of 86 percent, mainly thanks to the consolidation of LPG sales of the company Petrol LPG d.o.o. Beograd (at the end of 2015). It also sold 46.4 thousand tons (66.3 million m3 ) of natural gas or 3 percent less than in the same period of the previous year.

At all waste treatment plants, the treatment process and financial performance were in line with the plan in the period concerned.
The Petrol Group is also involved in energy production from waste. At Ihan and Črnomelj biogas plants, Petrol processes organic waste to produce green electricity and is Slovenia's biggest producer of green electricity from organic waste. For greater efficiency, Petrol built in Ihan a dehydration plant for sludge obtained from treatment plants. Dehydrated sludge is transformed into secondary fuel.
In the first six months of 2016, the Petrol Group generated EUR 2.7 million in revenue from environmental solution services, of which EUR 1.0 million was attributable to electricity sales.
Energy solutions
The area of energy solutions comprises an energy range consisting of:
- the preparation of alternative solutions for supplying heat and other forms of energy (energy packages) to households and small-business customers;
- the implementation of more complex comprehensive energy solutions projects;
- the production of energy from renewable sources.
In the first six months of 2016, the public economic service of public lighting was performed in several municipalities, accompanied by other energy solutions projects.
In the area of energy solutions, the Petrol Group generated during this period EUR 5.7 million in revenue from the sale of merchandise (mostly wood biomass) and EUR 4.7 million in revenue from the sale of energy products and services, of which EUR 1.0 million was attributable to the sale of electricity and heat.
Sustainable development
Employees
On 30 June 2016, the Petrol Group had 4,131 employees, of which 33 percent worked for subsidiary companies abroad. The number of employees increased by 63 compared to the end of 2015. Staff numbers rose mainly at third-party managed service stations and in the company Petrol d.o.o.

Employee structure
At the end of June 2016, the average age of the Petrol Group employees was 39.5 years. Sixty-five percent of the employees were male and 35 percent were female.
The educational structure of the Petrol Group has been improving over the years. This is a result of employee training on the one hand and HR policy on the other. Newly hired employees with higher education thus improve the educational structure, while at the same time employees with lower education leave the company. It should be noted that the Petrol Group has a keen interest in training its employees, as knowledge represents one of Petrol's key competitive advantages.
Training
In the first six months of 2016, 9,148 employees took part in various forms of training. In all, the Petrol Group provided 49,115 teaching hours of training, which represented, on average, 12 teaching hours of training per employee in the period concerned. Organised as part of the Petrol Group is Petrol Academy. Its main goal is systematic and comprehensive training of all

employees. In the first six months of 2016, the Group carried out technical and legally required training.
Investments
In the first six months of 2016, EUR 23.2 million was allocated to investments in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and long-term investments.

The quality management system
The Petrol Group's operations are based on the implementation of strict quality standards. Since 1997, we have been constantly upgrading and expanding the Group's quality management system. In addition to the certified quality and environmental management systems, the comprehensive quality management system incorporates the requirements of the HACCP food safety management system, of the OHSAS occupational health and safety system and of the ISO 27001 information security system. In 2016 the ISO 50001 energy management system was also incorporated into the quality management system as proof of our systematic approach to continuous improvement in this field and the Company's commitment to sustainable development.
The certification of the energy management system to the ISO 50001 standard was completed in January 2016. The system allows for continuous monitoring of the Company's energy efficiency indicators and control over implemented energy measures. It also encourages active staff involvement in the area of efficient energy consumption and renewable energy sources. The Company's energy management system covers oil and merchandise sale processes, energy and environmental processes as well as Petrol's energy and environmental solutions provided to our customers.
In March 2016, Petrol d.d., Ljubljana was awarded the OHSAS 18001 occupational health and safety certificate for comprehensive solutions processes in the area of district and energy systems, water supply systems, efficient lighting and energy management in buildings.
As a result of the merger of the company Petrol Tehnologija d.o.o. into the parent company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana, ISO 17020 accreditation certificates were transferred to the parent company in May 2016.

Social responsibility
Caring for social and environmental issues has been part of the Petrol's operations for a number of years. The demands and challenges of our time are addressed based on a longterm growth strategy and a strong awareness that supporting the environment in which we operate significantly affects our operations and development. For many years we have been helping wider social and local communities achieve a dynamic lifestyle and better quality of life. We demonstrate our social responsibility by supporting numerous sports, arts, humanitarian and environmental projects. In the Petrol Group, social responsibility is perceived as a lasting commitment to work together with the environment in which it operates. To celebrate the Slovene Blood Donation Day (4 June), we joined forces with the Slovene Red Cross and the Blood Transfusion Centre of Slovenia to organise the pan-Slovene blood donation initiative "Give Energy for Life!" for the sixth time already. This year's slogan was "Giving is a joy". On 18 May, the International Museum Day, Petrol donated archival exhibits to the Technical Museum of Slovenia (located in Bistra pri Vrhniki) in perpetuity. The exhibits are displayed as part of the exhibition From Pharmacy to Service Station.
Risk management
The Petrol Group manages risks using a comprehensive risk management system, making sure that the Company's key risks are identified, assessed, managed and monitored. In doing that, it aims to develop a risk-awareness culture to ensure better control over the risks and better information for decision-making at all levels of the Group's operation. Risk management concerns each Petrol Group employee who is, as a result of their decisions and actions, exposed to risks on a daily basis while carrying out their work assignments and responsibilities.
Petrol's risk model comprises 20 risk categories that are divided into two groups:
- environment risks and
- performance risks.
According to risk assessment results, the most relevant and probable risks comprise the following financial risks: price, credit, foreign exchange and liquidity risks.
In addition to the main financial risks, the most relevant and probable risks include economic environment risks, interest rate risks, legislation and regulation risks, strategic decisionmaking risks, commercial risks, and business and financial decision-making risks.

Price and foreign exchange risk
The Petrol Group's business model includes energy products, such as petroleum products, natural gas, electricity and liquefied petroleum gas, exposing the Group to price, quantity and foreign exchange risks arising from the purchase and sale of these products.
The Petrol Group purchases petroleum products under international market conditions, pays for them mostly in US dollars and sells them in local currencies. Because the global oil market and the US dollar market constitute two of the most volatile global markets, the Petrol Group is exposed to both the price risk (changes in the prices of petroleum products) and the foreign exchange risk (changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate) while pursuing its core line of business. The Petrol Group manages quantity and price risks to the largest extent possible by matching suppliers' terms of procurement with the terms of sale applying to customers. The petroleum product pricing model applicable to the Slovene market allows for changes in global petroleum product prices and exchange rates to be passed on to domestic selling prices. Any remaining open price or foreign exchange positions are closed through the use of financial instruments, in particular commodity swaps in the case of price risks and forward contracts in the case of foreign exchange risks.
The Petrol Group plays an increasingly important role in electricity production, sale, distribution and trading, exposing it to price and quantity risks. These are managed with an assortment of limits systems defined depending on the business partner, the area of trading and the value at risk, and with appropriate processes in place to monitor and control these risks.
In addition to the risks arising from changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate, the Petrol Group is exposed, to some degree, also to the risk of changes in other currencies, which is linked to doing business in the region. The Group monitors open foreign exchange positions and decides how to manage them on a monthly basis.
With regard to other foreign exchange exposures, we should point out the risk of changes in the EUR/HRK exchange rate. For this purpose, the impact of changes in the EUR/HRK exchange rate on operations of Croatian-based companies is analysed on a regular basis. The spread between the minimum and maximum level of the EUR/HRK exchange rate stood at 2.7 percent in the first six months of 2016. Thanks to a relatively small exposure and the low volatility of the exchange rate, no forward contracts to hedge the foreign exchange risk were concluded in 2016. In Croatia, the foreign exchange risk in procurement was reduced by substantially increasing the volume of procurement done in HRK in Croatia directly and by placing surplus liquidity with the parent company in euros.
Foreign exchange risks are also encountered in Serbia with regard to the EUR/RSD exchange rate. There, the procurement of petroleum products is done mostly in RSD, which enables us to largely avoid the foreign exchange risks. In the first six months of 2016, the EUR/RSD exchange rate ranged between RSD 123.22 and RSD 120.31 per 1 euro, while the average exchange rate stood at RSD 122.63 per 1 euro.
Transactions with derivatives are entered into only to hedge against price and foreign exchange risks and not for reasons of speculative nature.

Credit risk
The credit risk was assessed as the third most relevant financial risk, to which the Petrol Group is exposed in connection with the sale of goods and services to natural and legal entities. The risk is managed using the measures outlined below.
The operating receivables management system provides us with an efficient credit risk management. In 2016 we introduced some changes to the process of setting and approving credit limits for the entire Petrol Group in order to further improve and harmonise the credit risk management system.
As part of the usual receivables management processes, we keep actively pursuing the collection of receivables, we are quick to discontinue sales on open account to defaulting customers and we accelerated the use of legal remedies to collect receivables. Particular attention is given to individual treatment of major customers or customers in relation to which outstanding receivables balances exceed EUR 250,000. We refine procedures for approving the amount of exposure (limits) to individual buyers and expand the range of first-class credit insurance instruments as a requirement to approve sales (mortgages, pledges, bank guarantees, letters of credit, receivables insurance with credit insurance companies, collaterals, corporate guarantees, securities). A great deal of work is being put into the management of receivables from large customers in Slovenia, and significant attention is also devoted to the collection of receivables in SE Europe markets, where the solvency and payment discipline of the business sector differs from that in Slovenia. Receivables are systematically monitored by age, region and organisational unit as well as by quality and individual customer. The exposure of customers in the Petrol Group's portfolio to the credit risk is monitored at a global level. To monitor receivables, we use a joint computer-based receivables management application, which provides us with automated control over the exposure to individual customers and the possibility to respond immediately. Through experience, the application is being continuously improved. In addition to the above, control over credit insurance instruments received was organisationally centralised and is now performed using a single computer system.
Despite the weak financial strength of some of our customers due to liquidity problems, smaller production and sales volumes and a drop in exports, we estimate that credit risks are adequately managed within the Petrol Group. Our estimate is based on the nature of our products, our market share, our large customer base, the vast range of credit insurance instruments and a higher volume of secured receivables. The Petrol Group too, however, is unable to fully avoid the consequences of bankruptcies, compulsory composition proceedings and personal bankruptcies.
Liquidity risk
The Petrol Group has been assigned a "BBB-" long-term international credit rating, an "A-3" short-term credit rating and a "stable" credit rating outlook by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, which reaffirmed the ratings on 24 June 2016. This investment-grade rating enables us to tap international financial markets more easily and represents an additional commitment towards successful operations and the deleveraging of the Petrol Group. We are currently introducing relevant S&P's methodology into the management of liquidity risks.
Entered into the Companies Register of the District Court of Ljubljana; Company Registration Number: 5025796000; Share capital: EUR 52,240,977.04, VAT ID: SI80267432 25/61

In the first six months of 2016, no additional long-term loans were raised. Operations were financed through the already acquired long-term sources and, partly, through short-term loans. In the first six months of 2016, petroleum product prices were lower than in 2015 despite an increase in the second quarter, meaning that less working capital was needed. At the same time, the acquired long-term and short-term credit lines provide us with a high level of liquidity.
Cash flow management nevertheless requires considerable attention and prudence, especially as regards the planning of cash inflows from lay away sales, this being the main source of credit risks and, consequently, liquidity risks.
The Petrol Group is capable of meeting all of its outstanding liabilities at any given moment. The Group's successful operations in particular are a guarantee for the Group's long-term solvency and boost its equity capital.
Interest rate risk
The Petrol Group regularly monitors its exposure to the interest rate risk. 26 percent of the Group's non-current financial liabilities contain a variable interest rate that is linked to EURIBOR. The average EURIBOR rate was lower in the first six months of 2016 than at the end of 2015 and thus remains historically low (negative). In 2016 the Petrol Group's overall borrowing interest rate was, on average, lower than in 2015. This is the result of low EURIBOR rates and interest rate margins, which had been further reduced.
In 2015 we updated the interest rate risk management policy. Limits for interest rate risk exposure reflect the risk of changes to the EURIBOR rate in the coming year and cumulative figures for the next five years.
To hedge against exposure to the interest rate risk, a portion of variable interest rates is transformed into a fixed interest rate using derivative financial instruments, thus protecting our net interest position. When deciding whether to pursue additional hedging activities, forecasts regarding interest rate changes are considered. The time of hedging and the type of instruments used to this effect are determined based on market conditions. In the first six months of 2016, no additional interest rate hedging contracts were concluded.
Petrol's shares
At the end of June 2016, share prices at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange were on average slightly lower than at the end of 2015. This was also reflected in the SBITOP, the Slovene blue-chip index, which is used as a benchmark and provides information on changes in the prices of the most important and liquid shares traded on the regulated market. The index also comprises Petrol's shares. The SBITOP stood at 683.47 as at the end of June 2016 and was down 1.8 percent relative to the end of 2015 (696.15). During this period, Petrol's shares gained 3 percent in value.

In terms of market capitalisation, which stood at EUR 549.9 million as at 30 June 2016, the shares were ranked second and accounted for 11.1 percent of the total Slovene stock market capitalisation on the said date.

Notes to the financial statements
Reporting entity
Petrol d.d., Ljubljana (hereinafter the "Company") is a company domiciled in Slovenia. The address of the Company's registered office is Dunajska cesta 50, 1527 Ljubljana. Below we present consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended 30 June 2016 and separate financial statements of the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana for the period ended 30 June 2016. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries and the Group's interests in associates and jointly controlled entities (together referred to as the "Group"). A more detailed overview of the Group's structure is presented in the chapter Organisational structure of the Petrol Group in Appendix 1 of this report.
Basis of preparation
a. Statement of compliance
The Company's management approved the Company's financial statements and the Group's consolidated financial statements on 16 August 2016.
The financial statements of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana and consolidated financial statements of the Petrol Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2015.
The financial statements for the period from January – June 2016 are prepared based on the same accounting policies used for the preparation of financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
b. Basis of measurement
The consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value:
- derivative financial instruments,
- financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
- available-for-sale financial assets.
c. Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in euros (EUR) without cents, the euro also being the Company's functional currency. Due to rounding, some immaterial differences may arise as concerns the sums presented in tables.
d. Use of estimates and judgements
Preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period.
Estimates and assumptions are used in the following judgements:
- estimating useful lives of depreciable assets,
- estimating the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets,

Report on the operations of the Petrol Group and the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana in the first six months of 2016
- estimating the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
- estimating the fair value of derivative financial instruments,
- estimating the influence in jointly controlled entities,
- estimating the provisions for litigation,
- estimating the provisions for employee post-employment and other long-term benefits,
- asset impairment testing (investment property, goodwill, investments in subsidiaries, investments in jointly controlled entities and associates, available-for-sale financial assets, financial receivables, inventories)
- assessing the possibility of using deferred tax assets, etc.
Because estimates are subject to subjective judgments and a certain degree of uncertainty, actual results might differ from the estimates.
Estimates are reviewed regularly. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are changed if a change affects that period only. If a change affects future periods, they are recognised in the period of the change and in any future periods.
Notes to individual items in the financial statements
1. Segment reporting
Because the financial report consists of the financial statements and the accompanying notes of the Group as well as of the Company, only the Group's operating segments have been disclosed.
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. The operating results of operating segments are reviewed regularly by the management to make decisions about resources to be allocated to a segment and assess the performance of the Group.
The management monitors information on two levels: on the micro level, in which case individual units are monitored, and on the macro level, where information is monitored only in terms of certain key information that can be used to make comparisons with similar companies in Europe. Given the enormous amount of information and their sensitivity on the micro level, the Group only discloses macro-level information in its annual report.
The Group thus uses the following segments in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements:
- oil and merchandise sales,
- energy activities.
Oil and merchandise sales consist of:
- sales of oil and petroleum products,
- sales of merchandise.
The sale of merchandise consists of selling automotive products, foodstuffs, accessories, tobacco and lottery products, coupons, cards, Petrol Club merchandise, raw materials and chemical products.

Energy activities consist of:
- gas and heat segment,
- generation, sale and distribution of electricity,
- environmental and energy solutions.

Foreign exchange risk
The Group/Company is most exposed to the EUR/USD foreign exchange risk – in terms of value and volatility, as it purchases petroleum products in US dollars and sells in local currencies.
Hedging is performed in accordance with the Group's commodity and foreign exchange risk policies prepared on the basis of the Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Products. The EUR/USD exchange rate is fixed at the rate recognised under the Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Products and consequently the margin is secured. The Group/Company predominantly uses forward contracts to hedge EUR/USD risk.
Given that forward contracts for hedging against foreign exchange risks are entered into with first-class Slovene banks, the Group/Company considers the counterparty default risk as minimal.
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risks also due to its presence in South-eastern Europe. The risk arises from sales in local currencies (HRK, BAM, RSD and MKD) in these markets. Given low volatility of above mentioned currencies towards EUR, relatively low exposures and illiquid local currency markets, the cost of hedging exceeds the risk. The Group is therefore not exposed to significant risks in this area.
The Group/Company regularly evaluates potential losses from currency changes in accordance with the VaR method.
In 2016 the Group/Company was also exposed to certain other currencies (RON, HUF), which were hedged by currency forwards.
Exposure to the exchange rates on other markets where the Group/Company is present with its companies is either smaller or their rates against the euro are significantly less volatile. We estimate that the change in the exchange rate would not have a significant impact on the operating profit.
Price risk
The Group/Company hedges petroleum product prices primarily by using commodity swaps (variable to fixed price swap). Partners in this area include global financial institutions, banks or suppliers of goods. The Group/Company considers the counterparty default risk as minimal.
Interest rate risk
The source of interest rate risk is funding with floating interest rate, mostly euribor based. Interest rate risk is hedged in accordance with the Group's interest risk policy. In 2015 we redefined the limits of exposure to interest rate risk. They take into account the risk of changes in euribor over the next year and cumulative over the next five years.
We use following instruments to hedge cash flow against interest rate risk:
-
The Group/Company charges floating (euribor based) interest rate on overdue receivables,
-
Liquidity surpluses are placed in the form of overnight deposits where interest rate changes so often that it becomes virtually floating,
-
Interest rate swaps and
-
Funding with fixed interest rate.

The Company/Group applies hedge accounting where the effects of the interest rate risk are recognized directly in equity.
Partners are first-class Slovene banks, therefore the Group/Company estimates that the counterparty default risk is minimal.
Capital Adequacy Management
The main purpose of capital adequacy management is to ensure financial stability, solvency and maximizing shareholder value. One of the instruments is dividend pay-out policy.
In June 2014 Petrol was rated investment grade (BBB-) by S&P followed by successful inaugural Eurobond issuance in the amount of EUR 265 million, which also proves our financial stability. On 24 June 2016, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the "BBB-" long-term credit rating and the "A-3" short-term credit rating of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana.
