The Telekom Slovenije Group is a trustworthy partner to its users, with whom it creates a society of opportunities.
The Telekom Slovenije Group inspires its users with innovative technologies. We open up new professional and personal avenues for them, and together cultivate an environment for the development of a community of opportunities. With open, flexible, and scalable products and services, and attractive content, we continuously provide our users with effective, useful, reliable, entertaining and constantly evolving tools for business and leisure.
Our guiding principle is a satisfied customer. We understand and respect their wishes and needs, and provide services that are simple, useful and tailored to those needs. Whenever they need information, advice or assistance, we are there to provide it.
Through quality, reliability, innovation and flexibility, we offer our users the freedom to combine and intertwine our services, packages, content and products.
Our actions are ethical, heartfelt, responsible and sustainable with respect to the society and environment in which we operate. We encourage the development of knowledge, the exchange of experiences, the creation of innovative solutions, and operations that are people and environmentally friendly.
Telekom Slovenije Group employees work in a creative environment. We achieve excellent results because we are connected to one another, proactive, experienced and value an entrepreneurial mindset. We respect our agreements and keep our promises.
In recent years, the Telekom Slovenije Group has carried out consolidation activities on the Macedonian market, and to some extent in Slovenia with the purchase of Debitel. We also sold our participating interest in the operator Gibtelecom. We will continue with consolidation activities in the future, either through expansion or divestment on specific markets.
Telekom Slovenije's fibre optic access network provides users high-speed internet access, the most advanced broadband content and a superior user experience in terms of broadband content. Investments in the expansion and upgrading of the fibre optic broadband network, which we began with more intensity in 2016, will continue in 2017. The modernisation of Telekom Slovenije's fibre optic access network will be carried out primarily where we expect the highest penetration rate relative to our investment and thus the highest revenues. We will also fulfil commitments arising from the market interest shown by Telekom Slovenije for the construction of broadband electronic communication networks in the Republic of Slovenia, where we expressed our intent in 2016 to construct connections over the next three years based on the tender issued by the Information Society Directorate.
We will achieve growth in the number of Telekom Slovenije's IPTV connections through the accelerated expansion of the fibre optic access network, through a portfolio of convergent packages and by expanding the portfolio of services outside the basic telecommunications activity, primarily through an improved user experience.
With the expansion of its offer to new areas and services that are important to our users, including outside the core telecommunications activity, Telekom Slovenije will strengthen its core activity on the one hand, and increase its share of household and corporate budgets on the other. Telekom Slovenije will provide its users a wide selection of the most advanced services and solutions in one place, while increasing its revenues from IT services and expanding its operations to new areas such as insurance, financial services, smart home services, and e-m-health, e-m-citizen, e-m-security, e-m-mobility and big data services, etc.
Through the optimisation of business processes and the IT infrastructure, together with personnel restructuring activities, Telekom Slovenije will transform itself into a lean and agile company that will continue to adapt dynamically to the demands and needs of its users through solutions that are easy to understand and simple.
The Telekom Slovenije Group will continue to optimise labour costs and ensure the optimal number of employees in the future, taking into account the needs of the work process at individual companies and the development of employee competences.
The financial stability of the Telekom Slovenije Group will be achieved through the appropriate structure of sources of financing, by ensuring the necessary liquidity reserves (including through the use of long-term credit lines), by fulfilling the Group's financial commitments, by improving the financial indicators required to raise the Group's credit rating, by monitoring and studying trends on the financial markets, by improving control over the Telekom Slovenije Group's cash flows with the aim of more effective liquidity management, by maintaining effective corporate governance mechanisms, by studying and employing alternative sources of financing and by improving the management of working capital at all Group companies.
Quality is and will remain the primary advantage of the services provided to users by Telekom Slovenije Group companies. We will thus continue to offer our users a comprehensive portfolio of the most advanced solutions and services, while maintaining and upgrading the quality management system and verified business excellence models.
The Telekom Slovenije Group actively identifies opportunities where it can contribute to the development of the social and economic environment in which it operates with its expertise, and financial and other resources. As the leading national operator in Slovenia, and as a development and future oriented company, Telekom Slovenije is well aware of its social responsibility. The principles of sustainable development are therefore built into the operations, products, services and content of all Telekom Slovenije Group companies, while we responsibly manage the economic, social and environmental impacts of our operations.

Key risks are presented below by individual company and market.
To manage risks associated with short-term liquidity, Telekom Slovenije has established an effective system for managing and planning cash flows that facilitates the timely identification of potential shortfalls in liquid funds and decisions regarding measures. Short-term imbalances in cash flows are managed through short-term credit lines at domestic banks and transaction account overdraft limits.
The risks associated with the reduced scope of advertising on outdoor screens and fewer visits to portals is managed through regular control over sales and revenues, by entering into annual agreements with advertisers, through exclusive sales of specific advertising products, through a bundling marketing strategy and by ensuring the technical and design development of portals.
The risks associated with dependency on external service providers (sales personnel) are managed through a sales channel strategy and new commission models. Key sales performance indicators have been introduced and are monitored regularly.
The risks associated with operational implementation and the quality of implemented projects increases with the increased scope of operations. We manage these risks by outsourcing simple works to subcontractors, by employing additional workers during major projects and initiating new workers for project work, through the purchase of appropriate equipment for additional teams and the replacement of worn-out fixed assets, the adjustment of the organisation of work and internal processes, and the drafting of project plans.
The risk of an insufficient number of qualified employees required for the provision of services has been identified due to the increased scope of transactions. Measures include the establishment of staff links with external partners, as well as the intensive search for qualified personnel on the market.

The financial statements for the comparative period January to June 2016 have been adjusted for the correction of the error in the recognition of income and for the erroneous recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities at Ipko. The Group's net profit is EUR 192 thousand lower for the comparative period January to June 2016 owing to an error correction. More details about the error correction are revealed in the Annual Report of the Telekom Slovenije Group for 2016.
The accounting policies used in the compilation of the interim condensed financial statements are the same as those applied in the compilation of the financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2016. The financial statements are compiled on a going concern basis and are not seasonal.
The compilation of the financial statements requires of management certain estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of the Group and Company, the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the balance-sheet date and the amount of revenues and expenses in the period ending on the balance-sheet date.
Future events and their impact cannot be determined with certainty. Accounting assessments therefore apply a judgement subject to change taking into account new events, experiences and additional information, and as the result of changes in the business environment in which the Group and Company operate. Actual values may vary from estimates.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which estimates are revised, and in all future years affected by such revisions. Management's estimates did not change during the accounting period, except for the depreciation period for Cable network – land, Lan and IP equipment at customers and aggregates. The effect of the change is lower depreciation costs of property, plant and equipment in the amount of EUR 1,302 thousand.
All items in the financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije, d. d. are disclosed in euros, rounded to thousand euro units.

The Telekom Slovenije Group has two operating segments. Segment reporting is based on the internal reporting system used by management in the decision-making process. Geographical regions are defined as operating segments, namely Slovenia and other countries. The criterion for segment reporting is the registered office where an activity is performed.
Segment reporting is based on the basic financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group. Sales transactions between segments are effected at market values. Intra-group transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process, and included among eliminations and adjustments.
The Telekom Slovenije Group does not disclose finance income and costs by segment, as the Group's financing is centralised and conducted at the level of the parent company.

The most significant financial risks are credit risk, short-term and long-term solvency risk and interest-rate risk. The Telekom Slovenije Group assesses exposure to specific types of financial risks and implements measures to control those risks based on their effects on cash flows and finance costs. Exposure to currency risk is assessed as low. Natural hedging methods are therefore used to manage this risk. Presented below are the most significant financial risks that the Group regularly assesses in accordance with the relevant policy. It also verifies the appropriateness of measures to manage those risks.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a subscriber or contracting party fails to settle their obligations in full or fails to settle them at all.
Maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of financial assets. The situation as at 30 June 2017 was as follows:

Credit risk or the risk of counterparty default derives from default by subscribers (retail) and by operators (wholesale). The highest exposure to credit risk is seen in trade receivables. The latter amounted to EUR 134,467 thousand as at 30 June 2017, a decrease of EUR 7,610 thousand relative to the end of 2016. Telekom Slovenije's receivables make up the majority of the Group's trade and other receivables.
Procedures aimed at the management of receivables are carried out at Group companies and include the monitoring of business partners' credit ratings, the collateralisation of receivables, the monitoring of high-traffic subscribers and debt collection activities. Debt collection activities are carried out according to a predefined timetable, while external collection efforts are carried out through specialised agencies. Prior authorisation is required at Telekom Slovenije for the entry into and amendments to subscriber agreements and for the deferred payment of merchandise purchases. Larger group companies have implemented a Fraud Management System (FMS) as an additional credit risk management measure, while companies with a large number of postpaid subscribers have also introduced a Credit Management System (CMS).
Credit risk is assessed as manageable on account of procedures introduced to manage receivables.
The Telekom Slovenije Group also monitors credit risk in other areas of operations. Cash on accounts is allocated according to the principles of minimising risks and achieving the appropriate diversification. Cash surpluses are allocated within the Group in accordance with needs for funds. The Group is also exposed to risks associated with claims arising from the deferred sale of its investment in ONE.VIP and loans granted to third parties and employees. Risks associated with loans are managed by including various collateral instruments in loan agreements, such as the establishment of liens on real estate and moveable property, the assignment of existing and future receivables, the pledging of participating interests, declarations of surety and other appropriate forms of collateral.

The Group's solvency is the result of the active planning and management of cash flows, ensuring the appropriate maturities and the diversification of financial debt, financing within the Group, and the optimisation of working capital and cash. Liquidity risk at the Group level is managed by the parent company, which plans and monitors subsidiaries' financing needs, and provides them the sources they need. Short-term imbalances in cash flows are managed through short-term credit lines at banks and transaction account overdraft limits. Total liquidity reserves in the form of short-term credit lines at banks and transaction account overdraft limits amounted to EUR 105 million as at 30 June 2017.
Debt is relatively low at the Group level, which represents a sound basis for achieving an appropriate credit rating and thus lower borrowing costs. The majority of the Group's financial liabilities relate to a long-term syndicated loan in the amount of EUR 292.3 million and issued bonds in the total amount of EUR 100 million.

Interest-rate risk is the risk of the negative effect of a change in market interest rates on the Group's operations. The Group's exposure to interest-rate risk as at 30 June 2017 derives from a potential rise in the EURIBOR reference interest rate, as Group companies have more interest-sensitive liabilities than assets.
The target ratio of financial liabilities with a variable interest to financial liabilities with a fixed or hedged interest rate that the Telekom Slovenije Group pursues is 50% of liabilities with a fixed or hedged interest-rate.
Liabilities from loans raised and finance leases with variable interest rates tied to the 3- and 6-month EURIBOR accounted for 74.5% of interest-bearing financial liabilities as at 30 June 2017. The remaining liabilities are accounted for by issued bonds with a fixed interest rate.
An interest-rate swap was concluded in February 2017 with the aim of hedging exposure to interest-rate risk as the result of a long-term syndicated loan that took effect on 30 June 2017. The hedged principal as at 30 June 2017 was EUR 96.2 million. The principal is hedged against the growth in the reference interest rate if the latter is higher than or equal to zero.

The table does not include financial instruments that do not bear interest or instruments bearing a fixed interest rate, as the latter are not exposed to interest-rate risk. Financial liabilities whose interest rate for EURIBOR growth is hedged are also not included.

The key objectives of managing the Group's capital are ensuring capital adequacy and thus long-term solvency, ensuring the financial stability of the Group in an attempt to secure the best possible credit rating for the financing of operations, and ensuring the continued development of the Group and thus the achievement of the highest possible value for shareholders.
The Group uses the net financial debt to equity and equity to total assets ratios to monitor changes in capital. The Group's net financial debt includes loans received and other financial liabilities, less current financial assets and cash and cash equivalents. The Group also complies with the financial commitments set out in loan agreements when making decisions regarding the management of capital.
