BUSINESS REPORT

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 nine months of 2019 stood at EUR 4.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 10 percent, which was mainly the result of higher sales. Adjusted gross profit stood at EUR 362.6 million, which was 14 percent more than in the first nine months of 2018.

EBITDA totalled EUR 170.9 million or 38 percent more than in the first nine months of 2018. Had the net effect of financial transactions involving electricity trading been included in EBITDA, the latter would have been lower, totalling EUR 152.9 million.

Figure 7: EBITDA broken down by activity

Figure 8: EBITDA broken down by market

Net profit for the first nine months of 2019 totalled EUR 80.1 million and was up 16 percent year-on-year.

In the period concerned, the Petrol Group sold 2.9 million tons of petroleum products, a yearon-year increase of 15 percent. In Slovenia, the nine-month sales of petroleum products stood at 1.3 million tons, accounting for 44 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales. In the same period, the Petrol Group sold 613.0 thousand tons of petroleum products in SEE markets, representing 21 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales, and 1.0 million tons in EU markets, which represented 35 percent of the Petrol Group's total sales.

At the end of September 2019, the Petrol Group's retail network consisted of 507 service stations, of which 318 were in Slovenia, 109 in Croatia, 42 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 14 in Serbia, 13 in Montenegro and 11 in Kosovo.

In the first nine months of 2019, EUR 354.6 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise and related services, an increase of 1 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

The Petrol Group sold 137.9 thousand tons of liquefied petroleum gas in the period concerned, a year-on-year increase of 16 percent.

What follows is a detailed presentation of the Petrol Group's operations in the first nine months of 2019 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
  • B. Energy and environmental solutions, consisting of energy solutions for the public and commercial sector, energy solutions for the industry and apartment buildings, and natural gas distribution
  • C. Production of renewable electricity
  • D. Mobility

A. SALES

In the first nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group generated EUR 4.1 billion in sales revenue.

Sales of petroleum products

In the period concerned, the Petrol Group sold 2.9 million tons of petroleum products, a yearon-year increase of 15 percent.

In Slovenia, 1.3 million tons of petroleum products were sold in the first nine months of 2019, a year-on-year increase of 1 percent. Motor fuel sales (petrol and diesel fuel) were on a par with the previous year's figures for this period.

In SEE markets, 613.0 thousand tons of petroleum products were sold in the first nine months of 2019, a year-on-year increase of 6 percent. The most important commodities sold in SEE markets are diesel fuel and petrol.

In addition to the above, the jointly controlled entity Petrol - Oti - Slovenija L.L.C. sold 4.3 thousand tons of petroleum products.

In EU markets, 1.0 million tons of petroleum products were sold in the first nine months of 2019, a year-on-year increase of 47 percent. The most important item sold in EU markets is diesel fuel.

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 are determined by the market, while the prices of petrol and diesel fuel at other service stations remain regulated.

Until 31 March 2019, the prices of regulated motor fuels were set in accordance with the Decree on Setting Prices for Certain Petroleum Products which was in force from 1 October 2018 onwards. On 28 March 2019, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a new Decree on Setting Prices for Certain Petroleum Products, which was in force until 30 September 2019. On 26 September 2019, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a new Decree on Setting Prices for Certain Petroleum Products, which shall remain in force until 31 December 2019. The pricing methods under each of the decrees remained unchanged compared to their preceding decrees.

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.

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 68 percent of the average gross margin in the EU countries

(60 percent if the compulsory stocks membership fee is not taken into account) and in the case of diesel fuel to 55 percent (48 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. They are set freely and are determined by the market, and can change on a daily basis. 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 64.6 per barrel in the first nine months of 2019 and was down 10 percent year-on-year whereas the average price in

euros decreased by 5 percent year-on-year. In the period concerned, the price of Brent crude peaked on 16 May 2019, reaching USD 74.7 per barrel. Its lowest price was recorded on 3 January 2019 at USD 53.2 per barrel. The prices of petrol and middle distillates followed the same trends as crude oil prices.

OPEC's decision to limit oil output in cooperation with Russia caused the price of oil to rise in 2019 compared to the end of 2018. Future oil price movements will continue to depend largely on OPEC's oil output agreements, the situation in the Middle East, 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 1.09 and 1.15 US dollars per euro in the first nine months of 2019. The average exchange rate of the US dollar according to the exchange rate of the European Central Bank stood at 1.12 US dollars per euro in the period concerned.

Sales of merchandise and related services

Merchandise sales consist of sales of automotive products, foodstuffs, accessories, tobacco and lottery products, coupons and cards, coffee-to-go and other merchandise. The Petrol Group generated EUR 354.6 million in revenue from the sale of merchandise and related services1 in the first nine months of 2019, an increase of 1 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

In Slovenia, EUR 294.4 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise and related services in the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of 1 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 SE Europe markets, EUR 60.2 million was generated in revenue from the sale of merchandise in the first nine months of 2019, an increase of 16 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 nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group generated EUR 27.4 million in revenue from the services related to oil and merchandise sales.

Sales of liquefied petroleum gas

In the first nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group sold 137.9 thousand tons of liquefied petroleum gas, a year-on-year increase of 16 percent.

At the end of September 2019, the Petrol Group operated 5 LPG supply concessions in Slovenia. In addition, the company Petrol 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.

1 In accordance with the new accounting standard IFRS 15, the Petrol Group changed the method of presenting revenue from the sale of goods sold by the Group on behalf of third parties. Under the new standard, only the fee that the Group is entitled to receive in return for the sale of goods on behalf of third parties is presented in sales revenue.

Natural gas sales and trading

In the first nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group sold 15.4 TWh of natural gas or 16 percent more than in the same period of the previous year. Of this quantity, 10.9 TWh were sold to end users and 4.5 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 in place in Slovenia are now being expanded to SE Europe.

In the first nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group sold 15.8 TWh of electricity, a year-on-year increase of 16 percent.

B. ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

In the first nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group generated EUR 43.9 million in revenue from the sale of energy and environmental solutions.

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

  • energy solutions for 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 the industry and apartment buildings,
  • natural gas distribution.

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.

In the first nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group sold 96.9 thousand MWh of heat, a year-onyear increase of 8 percent.

In the field of industry, we have been developing various business models tailored to the needs of the customer and the customer's technological processes. Our experts prepare solutions for steam and heat, natural gas, industrial gases and compressed air, water, cooling systems and industrial waste treatment plants. We are setting up projects in the field of efficient lighting in industrial buildings. Industrial customers are included in our virtual power plant.

In addition to industrial users, we are developing solutions for commonhold unit owners and managers in the field of energy-saving renovation, control and management of boiler rooms and the installation of heat cost allocators in apartment buildings.

At the end of September 2019, the Petrol Group operated 30 natural gas supply concessions in Slovenia. In Serbia, it supplied natural gas to the municipalities of Bačka Topola and Pećinci as well as to three Belgrade municipalities. At the end of 2018, the Petrol Group also established itself in Croatia where its company Zagorski metalac d.o.o. distributes natural gas in certain municipalities of the Zagorje-Krapina County and the Zagreb County.

In the first nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group distributed 742.4 thousand MWh of natural gas.

C. PRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY

In the first nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group generated EUR 5.1 million in sales revenue in the area of renewable electricity production.

Rapid development of the global energy system is fuelled by growing energy needs as well as by environmental requirements linked to climate change. Recognising this, we also produce electricity from renewable sources – wind, water and sun, with wind power becoming increasingly important in the European energy market.

As a key element in the future development of the Petrol Group, renewable electricity production has a strategic place in Petrol's decision to become a modern energy company. It helps us secure own long-term sources for the purpose of selling electricity, while keeping us prepared for new trends in the area of transport. At Petrol, we see enormous potential for the development of renewable electricity production in SE Europe. By developing our own production capacity, we pursue the strategic orientation of becoming a visible regional provider of comprehensive energy and environmental solutions, and a partner in the development of the circular economy for transition to the low carbon society.

The Petrol Group has been involved in electricity production since 2003, when electricity was produced at smaller production plants (photovoltaics, micro cogeneration, biogas plants).

We produce hydroelectric power in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where electricity is produced at four small hydroelectric plants on rivers Jezernica and Kozica. In 2018 we launched electricity production at the small hydroelectric power plant Jeleč (4.9 MW of output, 15 thousand MWh of annual production).

In Croatia, we started producing wind electricity at Glunča power plant in the Šibenik area in 2017 (20.7 MW of rated output, 50 thousand MWh of annual production).

D. MOBILITY

Mobility is comprised of two segments:

  • E-mobility setting up, managing and maintaining infrastructure for the charging of electric vehicles, and provision of the charging service,
  • Mobility services "vehicle as a service" and new types of mobility such as car sharing, transport on demand and more dynamic forms of alternative transport, aggregation and optimisation of passenger transport.

As part of e-mobility, we provide services related to the setting up, management and maintenance of infrastructure for the charging of electric vehicles as well as services linked to the very performance and billing of the charging service, and also customer care. These services and solutions are offered also to companies and municipalities. At the end of September 2019, we managed and provided the charging service at more than 130 charging points in Slovenia and Croatia. In the first nine months, over 347 MWh of electricity were delivered at the charging points. Considering publicly available records on the number of registered electric vehicles on Slovene roads, more than 80 percent of EV users in Slovenia used Petrol payment cards to charge their vehicles. In 2018 we began to actively expand the

network of charging points for electric vehicles also in Croatia, a process that continued intensively also in 2019.

In the area of mobility services, we develop services related to new concepts and types of mobility such as "vehicle as a service", car sharing and dynamic forms of alternative transport to complement existing regular scheduled bus transport and other services. The "vehicle as a service" business model, which we already offer commercially, consists of providing to the customer all services related to the use of a vehicle and fleet management in return for a fixed monthly fee. We have conducted several successful marketing campaigns thanks to which we were able to increase the fleet of electric vehicles that we lease out.

To develop services, we join forces with domestic and foreign partners. In 2019 we take part in three international projects for which we also obtained EU grants.

Sustainable development

Sustainability principles have a prominent place in the Petrol Group's development strategy. Our aim is to do business in such a way that it positively affects the economic and social fabric, while striving to protect the environment. In June 2019 we published a fourth Sustainability Report of the Petrol Group2 in which we present in more detail sustainable strategic orientations and challenges, goals, programmes, projects and results. In 2019 we also redesigned our sustainable development website (https://www.petrol.eu/sustainabledevelopment).

Employees

On 30 September 2019, the Petrol Group had 5,179 employees, of which 34 percent worked for subsidiary companies abroad. As the Group expanded its business, the number of employees increased by 322 compared to the end of 2018.

Employee structure

At the end of September 2019, the average age of the Petrol Group employees was 39 years. 59 percent of employees were male and 41 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 nine months of 2019, the Petrol Group provided close to 90 thousand teaching hours of training, which represented, on average, 18 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.

Investments

In the first nine months of 2019, net investments3 in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and long-term investments stood at EUR 84.3 million. Out of the above amount, 17 percent was allocated to sales in Slovenia, 44 percent to sales in SE Europe, 30 percent to energy and environmental solutions, 4 percent to renewable electricity production, and 5 percent to the upgrading of information and other infrastructure.

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 Petrol Group's quality management system. In addition to the certified quality management system, environmental management system and energy management system, 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.

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, we aim 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 the results of the 2017 risk assessment, the most relevant and probable risks 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 Petrol Group to price and volumetric 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 Petrol 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. Changes and updates to the risk management system undertaken in the past three years were further advanced in 2019 as a new information system was introduced. The new system has already been deployed within the parent company, with other Petrol Group companies following as scheduled.

In conjunction with the introduction of the new information system, the system of limits for operations involving natural persons was updated as previously announced.

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 10 October 2019. 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.

At the end of June, we repaid all obligations under the eurobonds, in total EUR 203 million.

In the first nine months of 2019, average petroleum product prices were somewhat lower yearon-year, meaning that slightly less working capital might be needed. The Group's long-term and short-term lines of credit 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. 89.7 percent of the Petrol Group's non-current financial liabilities contain a variable interest rate that is linked to EURIBOR. In the first nine months of 2019, the average EURIBOR rate was comparable to the one at the end of 2018 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 nine months of 2019, no additional interest rate hedging contracts were concluded.

Business plan for 2019

The Petrol Group has set ambitious goals for 2019. To achieve them, it will pay particular attention to the optimisation of operational and supporting business processes in 2019.

At the Petrol Group, we realise that despite careful preparation, informed business decisions, quick response to changes and an efficient risk management system external factors may arise in the business environment which are beyond our direct control and may pose a risk or a threat when it comes to meeting our targets. In 2019 these factors include:

  • sales in the EU market, the extremely volatility of which might keep us from reaching our sales targets,
  • the impact of the Act Regulating the Construction, Operation and Management of the Second Track of the Divača-Koper Railway Line, which foresees two new duties in order to finance the construction: a charge on transshipment in the freight port of Koper to be

paid by the transshipment operator and an additional charge to the toll paid by the tollpaying entities, which would mean higher costs for the Petrol Group,

• proposal amending the Minimum Wage Act, which redefines the minimum wage by excluding allowances (including the length of service allowance), the job performance bonus and the business performance bonus, which might bring up labour costs.

The Petrol Group's main business targets for 2019:

  • Sales revenue of EUR 5.6 billion
  • Adjusted gross profit of EUR 475 million
  • EBITDA of EUR 186.4 million
  • Net profit of EUR 96.7 million
  • Net debt to equity ratio of 0.4
  • Net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.8 (or 2.1 if IFRS 16 is taken into account)
  • Financial leverage ratio of 29 percent
  • 3.3 million tons of petroleum products sold
  • Revenue from merchandise sales and related services of EUR 609.1 million a figure in accordance with IAS 18 which is no longer in effect (or EUR 481.6 million if IFRS 15 is taken into account)
  • Retail network consisting of 515 service stations
  • Investments in fixed assets of EUR 101 million

Considering its nine-month results, the Petrol Group is successfully delivering on its 2019 targets.

As from 1 March and as laid down in the Act Regulating the Construction, Operation and Management of the Second Track of the Divača-Koper Railway Line, the charge on transshipment in the freight port of Koper is now levied and paid by transshipment operators. In addition, an additional charge to the toll paid by toll-paying entities is levied from the beginning of 2019, which means higher costs for the Petrol Group.

Events after the end of the accounting period

On 24 October 2019, three members of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana Management Board – Management Board president Tomaž Berločnik, Management Board member Rok Vodnik and Management Board member Igor Stebernak – agreed with the Supervisory Board of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana to end their terms of office early through mutual agreement, effective 25 October 2019.

Nada Drobne Popović, the current president of Petrol d.d., Ljubljana Supervisory Board, has taken over as Management Board president until such time as a new Management Board is appointed. She will not perform her duties as Supervisory Board member during this time. The Supervisory Board also appointed Danijela Ribarič Selaković, the current director of strategic risk management at Petrol, as a new Management Board member. Ika Krevzel Panić is staying on as Management Board member and Worker Director.

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 September 2019 and separate financial statements of the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana for the period ended 30 September 2019. 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 7 November 2019.

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 2018.

The financial statements for the period from January – June 2019 are prepared based on the same accounting policies used for the preparation of financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, considering the implementation of the new standard IFRS 16.

b. Basis of measurement

The Group's and the Company's financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial instruments that are carried at fair value or amortised cost.

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.

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 41/64

Estimates and assumptions are mainly used in the following judgements:

  • determining the amount of revenue and the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,
  • 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.

e. Changes in accounting policies

IFRS 16 - Leases

In 2019 the Group supplemented the applicable accounting policies and the treatment of events, together with their presentation in the financial statements, to align them with the requirements of IFRS 16, entered into force on 1 January 2019.

IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 – Leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model in a similar way to finance leases. In the statement of financial position of the lessee leased assets are disclosed within fixed assets or as right to use of leased assets in connection with the lease liabilities. Value of the right of use of leased assets transfers through depreciation to expenses, interest expenses from leases increased financial expenses of the period. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of 'low-value' assets and short-term leases. Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged from accounting under IAS 17.

The Group reviewed and analysed its lease contracts for which the lease terms exceed one year. The Group used the value of the lease and the length of the lease term to assess the value of the right-to-use of leased assets and lease liabilities and recognised them in the statements of financial position as at 1 January 2019. The value of the right-to-use assets and liabilities to make lease payments are assessed by discounting future cash flows over the lease term. Cash flows are discounted at the interest rates achieved by Group companies in financing long-term leases. The depreciation charge is calculated using depreciation rates estimated by taking into account the remaining term of the lease.

Because of the impact of IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers the Group decreased the amount of revenue from the sale of goods and the cost of goods sold for the period of 1 January to 30 September 2018 as reported in the Report on the operations of the Petrol Group and the company Petrol d.d., Ljubljana in the first nine months of 2018 on 25 November 2018 for 90,543,994 EUR.

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 services and production.

Sales consist of:

  • sales of petroleum products,
  • sales of merchandise and services,
  • sales of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG),
  • sales of and trading in electricity and natural gas,
  • mobility.

Energy and environmental services and production consist of:

  • energy and environmental solutions for the public and the commercial sector,
  • energy solutions and industry and apartment buildings,
  • distribution of natural gas,
  • production of electricity from renewable sources.

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the owners' net profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, excluding ordinary shares owned by the Company. The Group and the Company have no potential dilutive ordinary shares, so the basic and diluted earnings per share are identical.

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 and business plan;
  • ensuring adequate structural liquidity in accordance with S&P methodology;
  • standardised and centralised treasury management at Group level;
  • annual planning of funds by the Petrol Group as well as monthly and daily planning cash flows;
  • unified approach to banks in Slovenia and abroad;
  • computer-assisted system for the management of cash flows of the parent company and its subsidiaries;
  • centralised collection of available cash through cash pooling.

Nearly half of the Group's/Company's total cash inflow 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 at its disposal both in Slovenia and abroad, the size of which enables the Group to meet all its due liabilities at any given moment.

In the first nine months of 2019 the Group/Company again focused strongly on the planning of cash flows. Successful planning of cash flows enabled it to anticipate any liquidity surpluses or shortages in time and manage them optimally.

The majority of financial liabilities arising from long-term and short-term loans are held by the parent company, which also generates the majority of revenue.

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 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 thus fixed at the rate recognised under the Decree on Setting Prices for Certain Petroleum Products and the internal rules, and the margin is secured. The hedging instruments used in this case are forward contracts entered into with banks.

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 South-eastern 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 nine months of 2019, 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 and volumetric 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 nine months of 2019, 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 uses hedge accounting on interest rate swaps. Hedged items and hedging instruments represent an effective hedging relationship, which is why interest rate risk hedging outcomes are recognised directly in equity.

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.

We also prove our financial stability with our S&P BBB- rating acquired in 2014. On 10 October 2019, 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, also reaffirming the »stable« credit rating outlook.

In the first nine months of 2019 the Petrol Group continued to pursue its strategic orientation to drive down financial debt to levels outlined in the strategic plan.
