BUSINESS REPORT

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 10/59

Operations of the Petrol Group

The Petrol Group operates in a competitive environment influenced by oil price fluctuations, US dollar exchange rate, global and domestic economic developments, and national laws governing the pricing of energy products. In Slovenia and Croatia, the economic situation is improving, but other SE Europe countries which also make up Petrol's sales market still face extremely tough economic conditions, low purchasing power and high unemployment. Although in Slovenia, where the Petrol Group sells the greater part of its petroleum products, the prices of petrol and diesel fuel at motorway and expressway service stations have been liberalised and determined by the market, the prices of petrol (less than 98 octane) and diesel fuel at other service stations remain regulated.

The Petrol Group's sales revenue for the first six months of 2017 stood at EUR 2.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 26 percent, which was mainly due to higher oil prices. Adjusted gross profit totalled EUR 190.4 million or 9 percent more than in the first six months of 2016, with EBITDA amounting to EUR 72.4 million or 10 percent more than in the first six months of 2016.

Figure 7: EBITDA broken down by activity

Figure 8: EBITDA broken down by market

Pre-tax profit totalled EUR 40.5 million or 2 percent more than in the first six months of 2016, with net profit for the first six months of 2017 amounting to EUR 34.0 million or 6 percent more than in the first six months of 2016.

In the first six months of 2017, the Petrol Group sold 1,543.3 thousand tons of petroleum products1 , up 7 percent from the same period of 2016. In Slovenia, the six-month sales of petroleum products stood at 752.5 thousand tons, accounting for 49 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales. In the same period, the Group sold 349.0 thousand tons of petroleum products in SEE markets, representing 23 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales, and 441.8 thousand tons in EU markets, which represented 29 percent of the Group's total sales.

In the first six months of 2017, 41 percent of petroleum product sales were generated in the retail market and 59 percent in the wholesale market. At the end of June 2017, the Petrol Group's retail network consisted of 490 service stations, of which 316 were in Slovenia, 106 in Croatia, 37 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 10 in Serbia, 10 in Montenegro and 11 in Kosovo.

In the period under review, EUR 259.6 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

In the same period, 72.5 thousand tons of liquefied petroleum gas, a year-on-year increase of 5 percent, and 704.8 thousand MWh of natural gas or 1 percent less than in the same period of the previous year were sold.

Good performance was also achieved in electricity and heat sales.

What follows is a detailed presentation of the Petrol Group's operations in the first six months of 2017 broken down by type of activity:

  • A. Sales, consisting of petroleum product sales, liquefied petroleum gas sales, natural gas sales, electricity sales to end users, merchandise sales and sale of services

In the first six months of 2017, the Petrol Group sold 1,543.3 thousand tons of petroleum products, a year-on-year increase of 7 percent.

In this period, 752.5 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in Slovenia, which was 3 percent more than in the same period of 2016. Of this quantity, liquid fuels accounted for 721.0 thousand tons and other petroleum products for 31.5 thousand tons. Motor fuel sales (petrol and diesel fuel) were up 5 percent compared to the previous year's figures for this period.

In SEE markets, 349.0 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in the first six months of 2017, a year-on-year increase of 2 percent. The most important commodities sold in SEE markets are diesel fuel and petrol.

Key impacts on operations

Fuel pricing in Slovenia

The prices of petrol and diesel fuel at motorway and expressway service stations have been liberalised and determined by the market, while the prices of petrol and diesel fuel at other service stations remain regulated.

In the first six months of 2017, the prices of regulated motor fuels were set in accordance with the Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Products, which was in force from 9 November 2016 to 30 June 2017.

On 29 June 2017, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a new Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Products, which will be in effect from 3 July 2017 to 31 October 2017. The Decree redefines the setting of pre-duty selling prices, adding a supplement for bio-components, which are blended with mineral fuels, to the purchase price of fuel, the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Commodity Reserves membership fees and the distributors' margin. The model-based margin is still government-regulated and stands at EUR 0.08701 per litre of NMB-95 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 determined by the market.

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 13/59

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 70 percent of the average gross margin in the EU countries (62 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) and in the case of diesel fuel to 57 percent (50 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) (own calculations based on Platts and Oil Bulletin data).

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 and determined by the market.

Fuel pricing in Bosnia and Herzegovina

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the prices of petroleum products are not government-regulated and are set freely and determined by the market. 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 and determined by the market.

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 takes into account taxes, the costs of transhipment, handling, bank charges, storage, transport and distribution, as well as (excise) duties and an oil companies' gross margin. The latter 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 these gross margins, liquid fuel traders may factor in all of the above costs at EUR 0.05 per litre of petrol, EUR 0.05 per litre of eurodiesel and EUR 0.026 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 a 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 a maximum margin. These prices represent an unofficial basis for retail prices, which change according to market-based fuel prices.

Changes in oil and petroleum product prices in the world market

The average price of Brent Dated North Sea crude oil stood at USD 51.72 per barrel in the first six months of 2017, up 30 percent year-on-year. The average price in euros was up 34 percent. During this period, the price of Brent crude peaked on 21 February 2017, reaching USD 56.30 per barrel. Its lowest price was recorded on 20 June 2017 at USD 44.28 per barrel. The prices of petrol and middle distillates followed the same trends as crude oil prices.

OPEC reached an agreement with non-member oil producing countries to limit oil output in order to stabilise prices. Future oil price movements will continue to depend largely on OPEC's oil output agreements, the situation in the Middle East, Iran, Libya and Nigeria, war in Syria, 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 1.04 and 1.14 US dollars per euro in the first six months of 2017. The average exchange rate of the US dollar according to the

exchange rate of the European Central Bank stood at 1.08 US dollars per euro in the period concerned.

Sales of merchandise

Merchandise sales consist of sales of automotive products, foodstuffs, accessories, tobacco and lottery products, coupons and cards, coffee-to-go, chemical products and wood biomass. The Petrol Group generated EUR 259.6 million in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first six months of 2017, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

In Slovenia, EUR 231.1 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the period under review, an increase of 5 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 accommodate the needs of our service station customers by quickly adapting the range.

In SEE markets, EUR 28.6 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first six months of 2017, an increase of 15 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. The best results were achieved in tobacco and food sales.

Sales of services

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 2017, the Petrol Group generated EUR 16.3 million in revenue from the services related to oil and merchandise sales in Slovenia.

Environmental solutions

In the first six months of 2017, the Petrol Group operated four concessions for the public utility service of municipal wastewater treatment. The capacity of the treatment plant in Murska Sobota is 42,000 population equivalents (PE), in Sežana 6,000 PE, in Ig and Matena 6,000 PE and in Mežica 4,000 PE. Petrol also managed industrial waste treatment plants at Vevče Paper Mill and Paloma. As an important member of the company Aquasystems d.o.o., Petrol d.d., Ljubljana is involved in the treatment of municipal wastewater in the Municipality of Maribor, the capacity of which is 190,000 PE.

At all waste treatment plants, the treatment process and financial performance were in line with the plan in the period concerned.

The Petrol Group also produces energy from waste. At Ihan and Črnomelj biogas plants, organic waste is processed to produce green electricity. 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 2017, the Petrol Group generated EUR 2.0 million in revenue from environmental solutions.

Energy solutions

Energy solutions consist of an energy range offered in the following segments:

  • development of alternative solutions for supplying heat and other forms of energy (energy packages) to households and small-business customers;
  • implementation of more complex comprehensive energy solutions projects;
  • production of energy from renewable sources.

Long-term contract-based supply of energy and contractually guaranteed energy and water savings (performance contracting) are the most common project implementation models in the public sector, the commercial sector and in industry. In the first six months of 2017, the

public economic service of public lighting was performed in several municipalities, accompanied by other energy solutions projects.

During this period, the Petrol Group generated EUR 11.7 million in sales revenue from energy solutions.

District heating

Heat is supplied to customers through district heating systems. In the first six months of 2017, the Petrol Group generated EUR 4.1 million in sales revenue from district heating.

During this period, the Group sold 82.8 thousand MWh of heat (some of it as part of energy solutions) or 9 percent more than in the same period of the previous year.

Electricity generation

At the end of 2015, Petrol d.d., Ljubljana co-founded a Bosnia and Herzegovina based company Petrol Hidroenergija d.o.o. Teslić, which is to produce hydroelectricity. In 2016 the company Vjetroelektrane Glunča d.o.o. (Croatia) was established, which is engaged in the production of wind electricity.

Figure 11: Changes in the number of employees of the Petrol Group and at third-party managed service stations in the period 2014 – 2017

Employee structure

At the end of June 2017, the average age of the Petrol Group employees was 39 years. 63 percent of the employees were male and 37 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. 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 2017, more than 9.8 thousand employees took part in various forms of training. In all, the Petrol Group provided in excess of 60.8 thousand teaching hours of training, which represented, on average, 14 teaching hours of training per employee in the period concerned.

In March 2017, a first follow-up audit of the ISO 50001 energy management system was conducted, which revealed that the system is suitably maintained and compliant with the standard's requirements.

The quality and environmental management systems of the companies Petrol d.d., Ljubljana and Petrol Energetika d.o.o. were aligned with the requirements of the new edition of the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards. A recertification audit, which took place in April 2017, identified no non-compliance issues. Certification was thus renewed in May 2017.

In May 2017, a follow-up audit of the quality and environmental management system took place at the company Petrol d.o.o., Zagreb. The company passed the audit, which did not reveal any non-compliance issues.

In June 2017, Petrol Laboratory received a monitoring visit by SA in connection with its quality management system certified to the SIST EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard and applied for two new testing methods. Once approved, Petrol Laboratory will have 57 accredited testing methods. In June, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) performed a follow-up audit of wood fuel production.

As a result of the absorption of the company Eltec Petrol d.o.o., Beograd, the certificates ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 were transferred to the company Petrol d.o.o., Beograd in June.

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. Our responsible social attitude is demonstrated by supporting a number of 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 we operate.

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, utilised 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. 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.

Trading in energy products exposes the Group 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.

As far as other foreign exchange exposures are concerned, the risk of changes in the EUR/HRK exchange rate should be mentioned. The impact of changes in the EUR/HRK exchange rate on operations of Croatian-based companies is analysed. The spread between the minimum and maximum EUR/HRK exchange rate stood at 2.4 percent in the first six months of 2017. 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 the first six months of 2017. 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 2017, the EUR/RSD exchange rate ranged between RSD 122.31 and RSD 124.30 per 1 euro, while the average exchange rate stood at RSD 123.30 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, throughout the Group, certain changes to the process of setting and approving credit limits applicable to legal entities in order to further improve and harmonise the credit risk management system. In the first six months of 2017, the new system of limits was also introduced at subsidiaries operating in SE Europe.

In addition, the upgrading and redesign of the limit system for operations involving natural persons is in the pipeline.

As part of the usual receivables management processes, we keep actively pursuing the collection of 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 (receivables insurance with credit insurance companies, bank guarantees, letters of credit, collaterals, corporate guarantees, securities, mortgages, pledges). A great deal of work is 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 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 continuously improved. In addition, we introduced centralised control over credit insurance instruments received and centralised the collection process.

We consider that credit risks are adequately managed within the Petrol Group. Our assessment 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 20 March 2017. 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.

In the first six months of 2017, we issued 10-year PET4 notes worth EUR 11 million and 7 year PET5 notes worth EUR 32.828 million, also raising a new EUR 50 million long-term loan. In the period concerned, average petroleum product prices were higher year-on-year, meaning that slightly more working capital was needed. The acquired long-term and shortterm 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. 27.2 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 2017 than at the end of 2016 and thus remains historically low (negative). In 2017 the Petrol Group's overall borrowing interest rate was, on average, lower than in 2016. This is the result of low EURIBOR rates and interest rate margins, which had been further reduced.

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. As the new PET4 notes had been issued and the new long-term loan raised, in both cases with a variable interest rate, we entered, in the first six months of 2017, into a EUR 61 million interest rate hedging contract with a matching maturity. All of the Petrol Group's non-current financial liabilities containing a variable interest rate are thus hedged by interest-rate swaps.

Notes to the financial statements

Reporting entity

Petrol d.d., Ljubljana (hereinafter the "Company") is a company domiciled in Slovenia. Its registered office is at Dunajska cesta 50, 1527 Ljubljana. Below we present consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended 30 June 2017 and separate financial statements of the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana for the period ended 30 June 2017. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries as well as 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.

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 2017.

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 2016.

The financial statements for the period from January – June 2017 are prepared based on the same accounting policies used for the preparation of financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

b. Basis of measurement

The Group's and the Company's 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,
  • financial assets available for sale.

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

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements based on the assumptions used and reviewed that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. How the estimates are produced and the related assumptions and uncertainties is disclosed in the notes to individual items.

The estimates, judgements and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Because estimates are subject to subjective judgments and a degree of uncertainty, actual results

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 38/59

might differ from the estimates. Changes in accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions are recognised in the period in which the estimates are changed if a change affects that period only. If the change affects future periods, they are recognised in the period of the change and in any future periods.

Estimates and assumptions are mainly used in the following judgements:

  • estimating the lives of depreciable assets,
  • assets impairment testing,
  • estimating of the fair value of assets,
  • estimating of the influence in jointly controlled entities,
  • estimate of provisions for litigation,
  • estimate of provisions for employee post-employment and other long-term benefits,
  • assessing the possibility of using deferred tax assets.

Notes to individual items in the financial statements

1. Segment reporting

In view of the fact that the financial report consists of the financial statements and accompanying notes of both the Group and the Company, only the Group's operating segments are 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 Group's performance.

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 substantial 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:

  • sales,
  • energy and environmental systems.

Sales consist of:

  • retail and wholesale of oil and petroleum products,
  • retail and wholesale of merchandise,
  • sales of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG),
  • sales of natural gas,
  • sales of electricity,
  • trading with electricity and natural gas.

Energy and environmental systems consist of:

  • distribution of natural gas,
  • other services (energy solutions, environmental solutions, biomass production, district heating, generation of electricity).

Liquidity risk

The Group/Company successfully manages liquidity risks according to Standard & Poor's guidelines.

The Group/Company manages liquidity risks through:

  • deleveraging (measured as the net debt to EBITDA ratio) as laid down in the strategy;
  • ensuring adequate structural liquidity in accordance with S&P methodology;
  • standardised and centralised treasury management at Group level;
  • annual funding for the Petrol Group as well as monthly and daily planning;
  • unified approach to banks in Slovenia and abroad is handled by the headquarters;
  • cash flow planning IT application for the parent company and all subsidiaries;
  • cash pooling.

Half of the Group's/Company's total revenue is generated through its retail network in which cash and payment cards are used as the means of payment. This ensures regular daily inflows and mitigates liquidity risks.

In addition, the Group/Company has credit lines available in Slovenia and abroad. The volume enables the Group to meet all its due liabilities at any given moment.

The Group/Company carefully planes their cash flows also in 2017, which enables optimal liquidity management of both, surpluses or shortages.

The majority of financial liabilities arising from long-term and short-term loans are held by the parent company, where the majority of revenue is generated.

Foreign exchange risk

As far as foreign exchange risks are concerned, the Group/Company is mostly exposed to the risk of changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. Petroleum products are generally purchased in US dollars and sold in local currencies. For government-regulated fuels, hedging is performed in accordance with the Group's price and foreign exchange risk management policies prepared on the basis of the Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Products, whereas for fuels with market-determined prices, internal Rules on the Pricing of Mineral Fuels are used.

Foreign exchange hedging is used to hedge against the exposure to changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. The EUR/USD exchange rate is fixed at the rate recognised under the Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Products and the internal rules, and the margin is thus secured. The Group/Company predominantly uses forward contracts to hedge the 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. Considering the low volatility of local currency exchange rates in Southeastern markets and the relatively low exposure, the Group/Company believes it is not exposed to significant risks in this area. To control these risks, we rely on natural hedging to the largest possible extent.

In the first six months of 2017, the Group/Company was also exposed to certain other currencies (RON, HUF), which were hedged using derivative financial instruments.

The Group/Company regularly monitors its open currency position and sensitivity based on the VaR method for all currencies to which it is exposed.

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 risks are loans with a floating interest rate that are mostly Euribor based.

In the first six months of 2017, the Group/Company continued to monitor the limit corresponding to changes in net interest expense.

The exposure to interest rate risks is hedged using the following instruments:

  • partly through ongoing operations, the Group's/Company's interest rate on operating receivables being Euribor-based,
  • interest rate swaps and
  • funding with a fixed interest rate.

The Group/Company 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 the best possible financial stability, solvency and maximum shareholder value. The Group/Company achieves this also through stable 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. On 20 March 2017, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services reaffirmed the "BBB-" long-term credit rating and the "A-3" short-term credit rating of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana, and the "stable" credit rating outlook was also reaffirmed.

The Petrol Group continued to implement the strategic directions in the first six months of 2017 to keep indebtedness in line with the strategic plan.
