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 10/57

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 demanding 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 2018 stood at EUR 2.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13 percent, which was mainly due to higher oil prices. Adjusted gross profit totalled EUR 209.4 million or 10 percent more than in the first six months of 2017, with EBITDA amounting to EUR 78.8 million or 9 percent more than in the first six months of 2017.

Figure 8: EBITDA broken down by market


Pre-tax profit totalled EUR 47.7 million or 18 percent more than in the first six months of 2017, with net profit for the period amounting to EUR 39.1 million, up 15 percent year-on-year.
In the first six months of 2018, the Petrol Group sold 1,573.9 thousand tons of petroleum products1 , up 2 percent from the same period of 2017. In Slovenia, the six-month sales of petroleum products stood at 787.6 thousand tons, accounting for 50 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales. In the same period, the Group sold 360.2 thousand tons of petroleum products in SEE markets, representing 23 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales, and 426.1 thousand tons in EU markets, which represented 27 percent of the Group's total sales.
In the first six months of 2018, 41 percent of petroleum product sales were generated in the retail market and 59 percent in the wholesale market. At the end of June 2018, the Petrol Group's retail network consisted of 495 service stations, of which 317 were in Slovenia, 105 in Croatia, 39 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 12 in Serbia, 11 in Montenegro and 11 in Kosovo.
During this period, EUR 292.8 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise, an increase of 12 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.
In the first six months of 2018, the Petrol Group sold 77.1 thousand tons of liquefied petroleum gas, a year-on-year increase of 6 percent, and 11.1 TWh of natural gas.
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 2018 broken down by type of activity:
- A. Sales, consisting of petroleum product sales, liquefied petroleum gas sales, natural gas sales and trading, electricity sales and trading, merchandise sales and sale of services

A. SALES
Sales of petroleum products
In the first six months of 2018, the Petrol Group sold 1,573.9 thousand tons of petroleum products, a year-on-year increase of 2 percent.
In this period, 787.6 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in Slovenia, which was 5 percent more than in the same period of 2017. Of this quantity, liquid fuels accounted for 750.9 thousand tons and other petroleum products for 36.7 thousand tons. Motor fuel sales (petrol and diesel fuel) were up 4 percent compared to the previous year's figures for this period.
In SEE markets, 360.2 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in the first six months of 2018, a year-on-year increase of 3 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.
Until 28 February 2018, the prices of regulated motor fuels were set in accordance with the Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Products which was in force for a period of four months beginning on 1 November 2017. On 27 February 2018, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a new Decree Setting Prices for Petroleum Product, which was in force from 1 March 2018 to 31 March 2018. The new decree did not change the pricing method.
On 29 March 2018, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a Decree on Setting Prices for Certain Petroleum Products for the period from 1 April 2018 to 30 September 2018, but the pricing method remained unchanged.
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 13/57
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 79 percent of the average gross margin in the EU countries (70 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) and in the case of diesel fuel to 63 percent (55 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) (own calculations based on Platt's 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 may change on a daily basis. 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 70.58 per barrel in the first six months of 2018, up 36 percent year-on-year. The average price in euros was up 22 percent. During this period, the price of Brent crude peaked on 17 May 2018, reaching USD 80.30 per barrel. Its lowest price was recorded on 13 February 2018 at USD 61.53 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 (Syria, Iran), relations between Iran and

the United States, and also 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 1.15 and 1.25 US dollars per euro in the first six months of 2018. The average exchange rate of the US dollar according to the exchange rate of the European Central Bank stood at 1.21 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 292.8 million in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first six months of 2018, an increase of 12 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.
In Slovenia, EUR 261.4 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the period under review, an increase of 13 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 31.4 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first six months of 2018, an increase of 8 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 2018, the Petrol Group generated EUR 17.1 million in revenue from the services related to oil and merchandise sales.
Sales of liquefied petroleum gas
In the first six months of 2018, the Petrol Group sold 77.1 thousand tons of liquefied petroleum gas, a year-on-year increase of 6 percent.
At the end of June 2018, the Petrol Group operated 6 LPG supply concessions in Slovenia. In addition, the company Petrol Plin d.o.o. has LPG supply contracts in the towns of Šibenik and Rijeka. Liquefied petroleum gas is supplied to customers also through LPG storage tanks and at service stations as autogas.

Natural gas sales and trading
In the first six months of 2018, a considerable increase in the Petrol Group's natural gas sales to end users was recorded relative to the previous year's figure for the same period. This was the result of fully consolidating Geoplin d.o.o. natural gas sales. Through the acquisition of a majority interest in Geoplin d.o.o., the Petrol Group also began trading in natural gas in 2018.
In the first six months of 2018, the Group sold 11.1 TWh of natural gas, of which 7.4 TWh to end users and 3.7 TWh as part of trading.
Electricity sales and trading
The Petrol Group has positioned itself as an important electricity market player. It set up a complete infrastructure for wholesale electricity trading in Slovenia, EU countries and SEE countries. Electricity sales to end users (businesses and households) already existing in Slovenia are now being expanded to SE Europe.
In the first six months of 2018, the Petrol Group sold 8.8 TWh of electricity: 8.0 TWh as part of trading, 588.4 thousand MWh to end users and 61.6 thousand MWh as part of energy and environmental systems.
B. ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS
Energy solutions
As a strategic partner, the Petrol Group offers its customers a partnership to help them improve their energy efficiency. Energy solutions consist of an energy range offered in the following segments:
- energy solutions in the public and commercial sector (systems of energy and environmental management of buildings in the public and commercial sector, district heating and district energy systems, water supply systems, efficient lighting systems),
- energy solutions for industry and apartment buildings.
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. These models offer a significant advantage to the customers in that Petrol assumes all technical and economic risks of project implementation and management, provides the necessary funds to carry out the measures, and supplies customers with the required energy of suitable quality, guaranteeing savings in the use of energy products compared to the previous situation.
The projects of long-term heat supply, energy renovation of buildings and the reduction of electricity consumption and water losses are largely carried out using the public-private partnership model.
Heat is supplied to customers through district heating systems. In the first six months of 2018, the Group sold 84.6 thousand MWh of heat or 2 percent more than in the same period of 2017.

The companies Megaenergija d.o.o. (in April 2018) and Petrol Energetika d.o.o. (in May 2018) were merged into the parent company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana.
During this period, the Petrol Group generated EUR 16.3 million in sales revenue from energy solutions.
Environmental solutions
In the first six months of 2018, 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 and 53 small and medium waste treatment plants at its points of sale and storage facilities. 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.
In the first six months of 2018, the Petrol Group generated EUR 2.5 million in revenue from environmental solutions.
Distribution of natural gas
In the first six months of 2018, the Petrol Group distributed 748.2 thousand MWh of natural gas.
At the end of June 2018, the Group operated 28 natural gas supply concessions in Slovenia and, in Serbia, supplied natural gas to the municipalities of Bačka Topola and Pećinci as well as three Belgrade municipalities. The company Rodgas AD was merged into the company Beogas AD.
C. PRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY
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. Renewable electricity is produced as planned. The company Petrol Hidroenergija d.o.o. Teslić obtained all the necessary permits and decisions, enabling it to complete the construction of the small hydroelectric plant and begin regular operation.

Figure 11: Changes in the number of employees of the Petrol Group and at third-party managed service stations in the period 2015 – 2018

Employee structure
At the end of June 2018, the average age of the Petrol Group employees was 39 years. 60 percent of employees were male and 40 percent 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 2018, more than 10.9 thousand employees took part in various forms of training. In all, the Petrol Group provided 61.3 thousand teaching hours of training, which represented, on average, 14 teaching hours of training per employee in the period concerned. Organised as part of the Petrol Group is Petrol Academy. Its main goal is to provide training to all employees in a systematic and comprehensive manner. The Group carried out technical and legally required training in the period under review.

Report on the operations of the Petrol Group and the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana in the first six months of 2018
* Based on the Report on the implementation of the Responsible Care Global Charter commitments, Petrol d.d., Ljubljana became a holder of a Responsible Care Certificate for its activities relating to storage, logistics and retail network of service stations in Slovenia and granted the right to use the initiative's logo.
** Petrol d.d. Ljubljana is a holder of an FSC certificate for the production of wood chips used for heat generation. The FSC certificate, which is issued by an international NGO called the Forest Stewardship Council, promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of forests.
Petrol d.d., Ljubljana extended its FSC accreditation until 2023.
At the company Petrol d.o.o., Zagreb, a follow-up audit of the quality management systems took place. The company also made a transition to the new edition of the ISO 14001:2015 standard, which sets out requirements for the environmental management system.
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 through the support we provide to 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 from the previous year, the most relevant and probable risks still comprise the following financial risks: price and volumetric risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
In addition to the main financial risks, the most relevant and probable risks include legislation and regulation risks, information system risks, business decision-making risks, interest rate risks and information risks.

Price and volumetric risk 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 Petrol Group to price and volumetric risks and to 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 volumetric 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 volumetric risks. These are managed using an assortment of limits systems defined depending on the business partner, the area of trading and the value at risk, and 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.
Transactions with derivatives are entered into only to hedge against price and volumetric risks and foreign exchange risks rather than for reasons of speculative nature.
Credit risk
The credit risk was assessed in 2017 as the third most relevant financial risk to which the Petrol Group was 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 half of 2017, the new system of limits was also being introduced at the Petrol Group's subsidiaries.
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 shortterm credit rating and a stable credit rating outlook by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, which reaffirmed the ratings on 11 April 2018. 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 2018, average petroleum product prices were higher year-on-year, meaning that slightly more working capital might be needed. The Group's long-term and shortterm lines of credit provide us with a high level of liquidity. In the first six months of 2018, we also secured funds to repay the eurobonds falling due in June 2019.
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. Thirty-one percent of the Group's non-current financial liabilities contain a variable interest rate that is linked to
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 23/57
EURIBOR. The average EURIBOR rate in the first six months of 2018 was similar to the one at the end of 2017 and thus remains historically low (negative).
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 2018, we entered into a new EUR 60 million interest rate hedging contract with a maturity that matches the loan agreement with a variable interest rate and deferred drawing until the end of the second quarter of 2019, which had already been signed. All of the Petrol Group's non-current financial liabilities containing a variable interest rate are thus hedged by interest-rate swaps.
Petrol's shares
At the end of June 2018, share prices at the Ljubljana Stock Exchange were on average higher than at the end of 2017. 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 886.88 as at the end of June 2018 and was up 9.96 percent relative to the end of 2017 (806.52). During this period, Petrol's shares lost 0.1 percent in value.

In terms of market capitalisation, which stood at EUR 728 million as at 30 June 2018, the shares were ranked second and accounted for 12.5 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. 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 2018 and separate financial statements of the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana for the period ended 30 June 2018. 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 13 August 2018.
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 2017.
The financial statements for the period from January – June 2018 are prepared based on the same accounting policies used for the preparation of financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, considering the implementation of the new standards IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.
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 at fair value through other comprehensive income.
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 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 solutions and production.
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 solutions 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 2018, 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 certain 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
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 50/57

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 2018, 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 is exposed to price and volumetric risks deriving from energy commodities. The Group/Company manages price and volumetric risks primarily by aligning purchases and sales of energy commodities in terms of quantities as well as purchase and sales conditions, thus securing its margin. Potential residual mismatches are hedged with derivative financial instruments. Depending on the business model for each energy commodity, appropriate limit systems are in place that limit exposure to price and volumetric risks.
The Group/Company hedges energy commodity prices primarily by using commodity swaps (variable to fixed price swap). Partners in this area include global financial institutions and 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 2018, 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" for interest rate swaps, where hedged items and hedging derivatives form effective hedge relationship, therefore the effects of interest rate

swaps are recognized directly in equity. In the case of interest rate swaps where the effective hedge relationship is not formed, the effect of interest rate swaps is recognized in the income statement.
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 11 April 2018 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 2018 to keep indebtedness in line with the strategic plan.
