2. VISION, MISSION AND VALUES OF THE TELEKOM SLOVENIJE GROUP

2.1. Vision, mission and values

2.2. Key strategic objectives

The strategy for the period 2021 to 2025 is a core corporate document in which the future development and strategic policies of the Telekom Slovenije Group are defined through its mission, vision, values, objectives and strategy. The Telekom Slovenije Group is implementing its established strategy in 2020 in accordance with adopted strategic policies. The strategic business plan is updated every year taking into account conditions in the sector and across the globe.

Leader in user experience

The leading user experience will be based on the best fibre optic and most advanced 4G/5G network for the B2C market, business verticals and a critical infrastructure. We will create that experience in accordance with the latest trends, and the needs and requirements of users. We are building a longterm strategic position as the first choice of users and business partners for a carefree and secure digital life and operations. We will achieve this through digitalisation, by ensuring excellence, security and contactless operations, and by adapting dynamically to the constantly changing habits of the users of communication services.

Digitalisation of operations

With the aim of ensuring efficient operations, the Telekom Slovenije Group will continue with the accelerated digitalisation of operations through the optimisation and automation of business processes.

Growth in ICT services

Growth in ICT services for our users will be based on the existing superior LTE/4G network, the development of the Internet of Things and the smart infrastructure (smart cities, smart communities, Industry 4.0, etc.), ensuring cyber security, artificial intelligence and the opportunities offered by fifth generation (5G) mobile networks. On that basis, Telekom Slovenije will be the leading partner in Slovenia's digital development. Growth will be achieved through organic growth and the consolidation of the Slovenian ICT market.

Maintaining the level of revenues from the core activity in Slovenia

We will maintain our market position and revenues from the telecommunications activity in Slovenia through continued digitalisation (including the development of e-commerce, e-identity and other digital services), a range of comprehensive services, the development of a unique, tailor-made user experience, and the continuous development of networks and services.

Consolidation on individual markets

The telecommunications market is experiencing the intensive consolidation of the sector, the merging of operators and a changing portfolio of services on the one hand, and the entry of new competitors on the ICT market on the other hand, which will further impact the operations of operators. Consolidation activities will focus on acquiring new competences, and on entering new markets and new areas.

Optimal staffing structure

Achieving objectives is possible through the systematic management of the employer's reputation and brand, the optimal staffing structure, an effective remuneration system, the development of employees' knowledge and competences, and through the appropriate organisational structure and job systematisation. The Telekom Slovenije Group will continue to ensure the optimal number of employees, taking into account the needs of work processes at individual companies.

Financial stability

Telekom Slovenije is implementing activities that will facilitate the effective management of liquidity and financial stability. We will ensure the optimal level of debt over the long term, at which the value of the Company is highest.

Social responsibility

The Group actively identifies and will continue to identify opportunities where it can contribute to the development of the social and economic environment in which it operates,

through its expertise, and financial and other resources. Thus, the principles of sustainable development are and will continue to be built into our operations, products, services and content, while we also responsibly manage the economic, social and environmental impacts of our operations.

The detailed composition of the Telekom Slovenije Group is presented on the website https://www.telekom.si/opodjetju/skupina-telekom-slovenije/odvisne-druzbe.

Situation as at 30 June 2020

Changes in the composition of the Group in 2020:

• There were no changes in the composition of the Telekom Slovenije Group in the period January to June 2020.

The majority of the foundation's funds are contributed by the employees of Slovenian Telekom Slovenije Group companies.

3.2. Operating highlights

The Telekom Slovenije Group achieved the following in the period January to June 2020:

  • The Telekom Slovenije Group generated EUR 335.4 million in operating revenues during the first half of 2020, a decrease of 2% on the revenues generated during the first half of 2019.
  • Net sales revenue amounted to EUR 325.4 million. The following categories are down in 2020: revenues from the mobile segment of the end-user market due to the shift of subscribers to new, more affordable packages and an aggressive competitive offer and due to lower revenues from roaming as the result of the coronavirus, revenues from the fixed segment of the end-user market, primarily due to lower revenues from traditional telephony, revenues on the wholesale market due to reduced international voice traffic and lower revenues from roaming by non-residents as a result of the coronavirus, and other revenues and revenues from other merchandise due to the coronavirus. New revenue sources were up relative to the same period last year, primarily on account of higher energy revenues. Revenues from e-commerce were up by 70% during the reporting period relative to the same period last year.
  • The Telekom Slovenije Group's operating expenses totalled EUR 314.7 million, a decrease of 1% or EUR 4.5 million relative to the same period in 2019.
  • Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 20.7 million in the period January to June 2020, a decrease of 13% or EUR 3.1 million relative to the same period last year. Taking into account an adjustment for the effect of the agreement on the sale of Planet TV, EBIT would have amounted to EUR 27.3 million, an increase of 15% or EUR 3.5 million relative to the same period last year.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, amortisation and depreciation (EBITDA) totalled EUR 104.3 million, a decrease of EUR 8.0 million relative to the first half of 2019. The EBITDA margin (i.e. EBITDA as a proportion of net sales revenue) amounted to 32.1%. Taking into account an adjustment for the effect of the agreement on the sale of Planet TV, EBITDA would have amounted to EUR 111.0 million.
  • Following the calculation of income tax (including deferred taxes), the Telekom Slovenije Group generated a net profit of EUR 14.8 million during the first half of 2020, a decrease of 24% or EUR 4.7 million relative to the same period in 2019. Taking into account an adjustment for the effect of the agreement on the sale of Planet TV, net profit would have amounted to EUR 21.5 million, an increase of EUR 1.9 million relative to the same period in 2019.
  • The epidemic affected the net sales revenue of Telekom Slovenije on the retail and wholesale (international) market, while it also affected other Group companies due to the stagnation of transactions during the epidemic and the reduced volume of transactions after the epidemic. In response, the Group immediately adopted and began to implement additional measures with the aim of further optimising operations and limiting the effects on its operations this year. According to initial estimates, the Telekom Slovenije Group assesses that the epidemic will have a negative impact on the Group's EBITDA of around 3% relative to planned EBITDA for 2020. The Telekom Slovenije Group is otherwise financially stable. In that context and given conditions on the market, it is adapting its business activities to the changing circumstances and closely monitoring and assessing risks in connection with supply chains, credit risk, the functioning of systems and the profitability of individual services, while adopting the appropriate measures.

3.7. Risk management

Key risks are presented below by Telekom Slovenije Group company.

TELEKOM SLOVENIJE

Strategic risks

  • Telekom Slovenije faces competition, regulatory effects and price-sensitive users on the domestic market. Users demand an increasing number of high-quality services at a low price. The Slovenian market is becoming increasingly saturated, which means less manoeuvring room for attracting new users. The management of such risks requires the regular performance of activities to ensure competitiveness, control over regulatory measures, a targeted and active market approach, the provision of high-quality and readily available services, the continuous adaptation of business solutions, the adaptation of the portfolio, and the constant introduction of the latest developments for specific groups and segments of users.
  • In the area of strategic risks, activities are also being carried out on the retail market due to the impact of the coronavirus, including an adapted portfolio of services such as telemedicine, video identification and sales via the contact centre, while campaigns to maintain users are being carried out at points of sale. Telekom centres began to open again across Slovenia in April, while the Company is implementing various activities with business partners and adapting to the reduced scope of operations in certain sectors, which could affect the implementation of some planned projects. Measures include the monitoring of the marketing margin of international wholesale services, and the proactive search for new destinations and revenues. Sales of products and services via digital channels are rising.

Financial risks

  • Telekom Slovenije regularly monitors the dynamics of the financial environment that reflect the various types of risks to which the Company is exposed in its operations. The Company actively monitors liquidity, credit and interest-rate risk, while various financial risk management models and derivatives are used to reduce exposure to specific types of risks.
  • Liquidity risk is managed through the regular management and planning of cash flows for different maturities by ensuring the appropriate maturities and the diversification of financial debt, and through financing within the Group and the optimisation of working capital and cash. The Company manages short-term imbalances in cash flows using liquidity reserves in the form

of short-term credit lines. A comprehensive approach to managing liquidity risk and measures implemented in other areas of operations mean the coronavirus has not had a significant impact on the Company's liquidity.

  • Credit risk is managed by the Company through the active monitoring of the operations of customers and their credit ratings, and by limiting maximum allowable exposures. The Company further hedges against the risk of the deteriorating financial position of customers through credit insurance and by regularly monitoring the appropriateness thereof. Monitoring of the settlement of contractual obligations and the active recovery of past-due debt are also elements of the system tool used for credit risk management, while Telekom Slovenije regularly monitors credit exposure to customers. During the epidemic, we extended the payment deadlines of customers' past-due liabilities by amending recovery procedures. There has been no significant deterioration in the structure of receivable during the coronavirus epidemic.
  • The Company also hedges against interest-rate risk by concluding interest-rate swaps. Fixed or hedged interest rates account for 59.7% of interest-bearing financial liabilities at the Company level.
  • Telekom Slovenije manages credit risk in connection with receivables from loans to subsidiaries by including various collateral instruments in loan agreements, while it regularly monitors the operations and liquidity of subsidiaries. If the effects of the coronavirus will have a negative impact on subsidiaries' ability to service their loans, activities will be implemented with the aim of refinancing loans or amending loan repayment schedules.

Regulatory and compliance-related risks

  • Regulatory risks derive from changes to the regulatory framework and policies, and potential decisions of the regulator regarding the imposition of additional obligations or changes in prices in individual market segments.
  • The European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) must be transposed into national legislation by 20 December 2020. By putting forth constructive and expert proposals, Telekom Slovenije is involved in the process of transposing the aforementioned code into Slovenian legislation. The Company is expecting public consultations regarding the draft act in the coming months. At the European

level, the Digital Services Act (DSA) package is currently the subject of public consultations. That package includes proposed new and amended rules for the strengthening of the Single Market for digital services.

  • The EU directive establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) was adopted at the end of 2018. That directive includes measures for stimulating competition and investments in very high-capacity electronic communications networks and covers various areas of electronic communications. The deadline for the transposition of that directive into national law is two years from its entry into force. The EU Council also adopted the BEREC regulation, the aim of which is to provide aid to Member States for the expansion of very highcapacity electronic communications networks, and for the ongoing and consistent application of the regulatory measures set out in the aforementioned code.
  • The Agency for Communication Networks and Services of the Republic of Slovenia (AKOS) began preparing a multi-frequency public tender with a public auction of frequencies for fifth generation (5G) mobile networks. That public tender is expected to be published in October/November 2020, while the auction is expected to start in January/ February 2021. On 26 June 2020, based on the strategic guidelines of the Ministry of Public Administration, the AKOS drew up a draft strategy for managing the frequency spectrum for the period 2021 to 2023.
  • The risks associated with personal data protection derive from the large scope and categories of personal data that Telekom Slovenije processes as the leading operator in Slovenia. Of significance with regard to that risk is the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, which entered into force on 25 May 2018 and brought stricter regulation and increased awareness regarding the protection of the data of users and the general public. Telekom Slovenije ensures compliance with the requirements of the aforementioned regulation through the continuous monitoring, updating and improvement of personal data processing and internal control processes for personal data protection. The Company is also monitoring the drafting of new regulations, including the new Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2) and Electronic Identification and Trust Services Act (ZEIZS). The EU's new ePrivacy Regulation is also being coordinated by stakeholders (EU institutions and Member States). That regulation will affect data processing as it relates to the provision of

electronic communications services.

  • In its operations, Telekom Slovenije complies with valid legislation, as well as decisions and aspects of sectoral regulations and other competent bodies. Regulatory risks are managed through organisational and procedural measures in the Company's operations, through constructive dialogue, by putting forth opinions, comments and suggestions in public consultations regarding drafts of general and specific laws issued by the regulator, and by taking legal action against issued regulatory decisions, whenever that is justified.
  • The Company is monitoring proposals for the use of mobile operators' data for managing the coronavirus epidemic, and is making adjustments to operations and services, taking into account requirements regarding the protection of personal data.

Operational risks

  • Telekom Slovenije gives a great deal of attention to managing operational risks associated with ICT networks, services and devices, and to the management and development of employees in this area. The complexity of comprehensive management is increasing due to the development of technologies and ICT services, and the growing demands of applications and devices. Telekom Slovenije manages this risk through the development of BSS and OSS, by improving operational efficiency and by providing support for new business opportunities. Operations support systems (OSS) are and will continue to be a key differentiating factor between operators on the B2C, B2B and wholesale markets. One objective of the OSS strategy in the period until 2023 is to ensure that the Telekom Slovenije Group has one of the most effective, most responsive and most flexible OSS, including a high level of automation in operational processes. That automation shortens the time of processes, reduces the number of participants in processes, decreases the number of errors in processes, and reduces operational costs.
  • In terms of business continuity, Telekom Slovenije ensures the necessary capacities of the ICT infrastructure and services, and of transmission, backbone and access segments. The risks associated with the malfunctioning of connections and services provided by other entities are managed by introducing processes to monitor and report on SLA indicators on leased networks, and by standardising requirements vis-à-vis network providers for newly leased networks. We implement updates and increase capacities through redundancy in those network segments where increased functional and security-related risks have been

identified.

  • In the area of ICT security, Telekom Slovenije continuously develops systems for monitoring technologies and anomalies in the ICT infrastructure and services, and conducts internal and external penetration testing. A Cyber Security Operation Centre has been established. Risks are managed through the implementation of the security policy, by identifying security threats and vulnerabilities, and by spreading the security culture to employees and users.
  • Telekom Slovenije faces certain challenges with regard to SAP ERP application, including the upgrading of the system to a new version (s4Hana). Operational processes must be analysed, and amended/adapted as required.
  • We have also identified risks in connection with the conditions of the multi-frequency public auction for fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks, requirements regarding the use of frequencies, excessively high auction prices and other related conditions of the public tender. All of that could affect the possibility of acquiring the tendered radio frequency spectrum for the provision of electronic communications services. Activities to prepare for the auction are in progress at the Company, with a team of internal and external experts.
  • Telekom Slovenije also faces risks associated with retaining employees, as it is increasingly difficult to recruit and retain qualified employees due to market conditions and increased demand for professionally qualified personnel. With the aim of retaining employees, the Company focuses on systematic development and career planning, and the transfer of knowledge and training, while ensuring motivational remuneration systems.
  • Telekom Slovenije manages risks in connection with procurement processes through a centralised procurement function, a standard process for the implementation of procurement procedures and a methodology for assessing risks associated with suppliers. Compliance with contractual provisions is monitored. The Supplier Code falls into this category of activities. A comprehensive supplier assessment is performed. The objective of risk management is to ensure a smooth supply process and to contribute to the Company's competitive advantages. The Company is managing risks in connection with the spread of the novel coronavirus through regular contacts with suppliers.
  • Based on the business continuity management system (BCMS), which is in place in the event of emergencies and certified in accordance with the ISO/IEC 22301 standard, the Company adopted preventive measures and a special

plan of measures and activities in the event of a pandemic. It also planned activities in the event of the activation of the National Civil Protection and Disaster Relief Plan. In accordance with the BCMS, Telekom Slovenije is prepared for and capable of ensuring key services and processes, even in emergencies.

• The BCMS is a tool for establishing organisational resilience and responding effectively. In addition to concern for employees, another key function of that system is to protect the interests of business partners, users and other stakeholders. Due to the impact of measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, activities include priorities such as ensuring quality, security, control over capacities, the timely delivery of equipment and services, the coordination of external and internal stakeholders, compliance with security measures for employees, ensuring remote work and redirection to the digital environment, ensuring the implementation of activities in connection with changes and defining priorities on a daily basis, i.e. 24/7.

AVTENTA

  • Risks in connection with achieving planned revenues are managed through a competitive portfolio, customer relationship management and a focus on the development of digital solutions.
  • Risks in connection with the coronavirus are having an additional impact on operations in the form of the reduced scope of projects.

GVO

  • Risks associated with rising prices of construction services are managed by adapting the organisation of work and processes.
  • Risks in connection with the coronavirus are having an additional impact on operations in terms of the implementation of investment and maintenance works.

PLANET TV

  • Risks associated with the management of liquidity are very high. The company is undergoing business and financial restructuring. Risks associated with the sale of the company are managed through a conservative approach to the disclosure of documentation regarding operations, and through the appropriate organisation of operations and the motivation of employees.
  • Risks in connection with the coronavirus are having an additional impact on operations, as the scope of previously approved advertising campaigns has been reduced. The filming of own productions has been adapted taking into account safety measures.

SOLINE

  • The risk of poor weather conditions is constantly present, as this is a seasonal activity. An extended period of sunny weather and a dry wind are crucial for the traditional production of sufficient quantities of salt.
  • Risks in connection with the coronavirus are having an additional impact on operations, as sales in the company's retail outlet network, and visits to the Lepa Vida Spa and the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park (SSNP) depend primarily on tourists.

TSinpo

  • Risks associated with HR management and workplace safety are managed through the appropriate employee structure and preventive workplace safety measures.
  • Risks in connection with the coronavirus are having an additional impact on operations, as demand for and the production of cardboard sleeves is down, while delays are also being incurred in sales of other programmes.

TSmedia

  • Risks in connection with achieving planned revenues are managed by entering into annual contracts and through bundling marketing.
  • Risks in connection with the coronavirus are having an additional impact on operations, as the scope of advertising campaigns has been reduced. The company is attracting new customers through direct marketing, new forms of advertising and campaigns to promote advertising, and by creating joint projects with end-advertisers.

IPKO

  • The company responds to the risk of the loss of users and revenues in the segment of fixed and mobile services due to unfair competition through the active adaptation of its portfolio and the appropriate market approaches.
  • The company remains exposed to the risk of higher costs due to the setting of prices for the payment of copyright fees for the broadcasting of programmes via the cable network.
  • The company manages the risk of the loss of revenues in connection with roaming through negotiations and its range of retail products and services.
  • Risks associated with the sales procedure are managed through a conservative approach to the disclosure of documentation regarding operations, through the appropriate organisation of operations for the implementation of processes, and through the motivation of employees.
  • Risks in connection with the coronavirus are having an additional impact on operations, as the government in Kosovo decided, as part of its package of measures, that public procurement legislation does not apply to the telecommunication services provided by Telekom Kosova. The Company is attempting to redirect users to services via the online store and application, and by promoting the activation of services via the web. Due to preventive measures aimed at protecting the health of employees, most work has been performed from home since the middle of March.

As part of the project, Telekom Slovenije will set-up a development-test 5G network in the vicinity of the Port of Koper. The aim of that network will be the development and testing of solutions to optimise processes, increase efficiency and reduce environmental impacts in specific cases where the network will be used in the management of transport logistics. Telekom Slovenije was the only Slovenian operator actively involved in two European projects relating to the introduction of 5G, while the Company is also participating in the Slovenian 5G Security project.
  • Together with its partners Enerkon and 2GG-DS Meritve za Komunalno podjetje Velenje, Telekom Slovenije established a solution in Velenje that facilitates the digitalisation and simplification of the central management of meters by municipal service companies in Slovenia, and the automatic metering of the consumption of energy sources, such as hot water, heating and natural gas. It is a test solution that will make it possible for Slovenian municipal service companies to digitalise metering points (meters) and establish the automatic metering of the consumption and balance of energy products. The solution also includes a system for the effective management and optimisation of the distribution and supply of energy products in real time. The solution functions based on Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology. Telekom Slovenije became the first to fully upgrade its network with that technology more than a year ago. It is the first such NB-IoT pilot set-up with the aforementioned technology in the wider Velenje region.

The financial statements for the period January to June 2020 and for the comparative period January to June 2019 have not been audited, while the financial statements for the comparative period ending 31 December 2019 have been audited.

The financial statements are compiled on a going concern basis and are not seasonal.

Changes in accounting policies

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 2019.

Use of significant estimates and judgements

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 statement of financial position date and the amount of revenues and expenses in the period ending on the statement of financial position 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.

During the reporting period, Telekom Slovenije changed the useful lives of modems and GPON interfaces installed in the fibre optic network. Before that change, the useful life of the aforementioned equipment was four years; the new useful life is five years. Depreciation was down by EUR 234 thousand during the reporting period due to the change in useful lives. The Company decided to change useful lives due to the lower number of failures of modems and GPON interfaces on the fibre optic network, as the rate of failure due to power surges before the end of the associated depreciation period is significantly lower on the fibre optic network than on the copper network.

Based on an analysis of the average lifespan of subscribers, Telekom Slovenije also amended the useful life of intangible assets linked to the costs of securing contracts with customers (commissions paid to agents), as follows:

Costs to obtain a contract with a customer old useful lives in months new useful lives in months
- for mobile services 30
- for fix services 12- 24 42
- for convergence products 30

Since 1 January 2020, the Company recognises commissions paid to agents for the conclusion of contracts with no commitment as intangible assets. Amortisation of the aforementioned assets was up by EUR 12 thousand during the reporting period.

Total amortisation was EUR 1,411 thousand lower during the reporting period due to a change in the useful life of intangible assets linked to the costs of securing contracts with customers.

Based on the binding offer received for the purchase of participating interests in Planet TV, Telekom Slovenije assessed the recoverable amount of its investment in the subsidiary Planet TV and impaired loans to that company in the amount of EUR 9,742 thousand. Impairments are disclosed in Telekom Slovenije's income statement under the item 'finance costs'. The Telekom Slovenije Group reclassified the assets and liabilities of the aforementioned company to assets and liabilities held for sale, and impaired assets in the amount of EUR 6,645 thousand. Impairments are disclosed in the Telekom Slovenije Group's income statement under the item 'other operating expenses'.

Coronavirus pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic hit Europe and the rest of the world in 2020, affecting the population and companies alike.

The Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije verified the need for the impairment of assets and liabilities during the epidemic and determined that additional impairments were unnecessary. There was also no reduction in or waiving of lease payments in connection with IFRS 16 Leases.

In accordance with the Act Determining Intervention Measures to Contain the COVID-19 Epidemic and Mitigate its Consequences for Citizens and the Economy, Telekom Slovenije took advantage of offered state aid, as follows:

  • the partial waiving of the payment of pension and disability insurance contributions; and
  • the reimbursement of compensation during temporary absence from work due to sickness or injury covered by the employer.

In accordance with the Act Determining Intervention Measures to Contain the COVID-19 Epidemic and Mitigate its Consequences for Citizens and the Economy, the Telekom Slovenije Group companies took advantage of individual state aid measures, as follows:

All items in the financial statements of the Telekom Slovenije Group and Telekom Slovenije are disclosed in euros, rounded to thousand euro units.

Segment reporting

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. Two geographical regions are defined as operating segments for which the Group reports: 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 executed at market values. Intra-group transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process, and included in 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 Telekom Slovenije Group's net sales revenue totalled EUR 325.4 million, a decrease relative to the same period in 2019. The following categories are down in 2020: revenues from the mobile segment of the end-user market due to the shift of subscribers to new, more affordable packages and an aggressive competitive offer and due to lower revenues from roaming as the result of the coronavirus, revenues from the fixed segment of the end-user market, primarily due to lower revenues from traditional telephony, revenues on the wholesale market due to reduced international voice traffic and lower revenues from roaming by non-residents as a result of the coronavirus, and other revenues and revenues from other merchandise due to the coronavirus. New revenue sources were up relative to the same period last year, primarily on account of higher energy revenues. Revenues from e-commerce were up by 70% during the reporting period relative to the same period last year.

The revenues generated by Telekom Slovenije during the reporting period were down by EUR 11,792 thousand relative to the same period last year for the same reasons given for the Telekom Slovenije Group.

The Telekom Slovenije Group's other revenues and revenues from other merchandise include revenues from investment works, maintenance and the clearance of faults, and sales of non-telecommunication services and merchandise.

Fair value hierarchy

The following hierarchy was used in recognising and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments using a valuation technique:

    1. Level 1: fair value is determined by directly quoting an officially published price on an active market;
    1. Level 2: other techniques for determining fair value based on assumptions with a significant impact on fair value that are in line with current observable market transactions with the same instruments, either directly or indirectly; and
    1. Level 3: other techniques for determining fair value based on assumptions with a significant impact on fair value that are not in line with current observable market transactions with the same instruments and investments.

Fair values are compared with carrying amounts in the table below. The table contains data regarding classification to hierarchy levels for financial instruments.

7.1. Financial risk management

The financial risks to which the Telekom Slovenije Group is most exposed in its operations are credit risk, shortterm 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 the income statement. 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

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.

Exposure to credit risk

Total 162,312 167,580 234,438 242,716

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 141,911 thousand as at 30 June 2020, a decrease of EUR 3,653 thousand relative to the end of 2019. Telekom Slovenije's receivables make up the majority of the Group's trade and other receivables. The majority of receivables are unsecured. The Group's receivables are accounted for by a large number of individuals and legal entities. Its largest customers are operators, where turnover generally flows in both directions, which reduces net credit exposure. We assess that there is no significant concentration of credit risk vis-à-vis a particular customer or economic sector.

Procedures aimed at the management of receivables are implemented 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 by companies according to a predefined timetable (reminders and disconnections) and via specialised external service providers. 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 Telekom Slovenije, which has a large number of post-paid subscribers, has 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 and Telekom Slovenije also monitor credit risk in other areas of operations. Cash on accounts is allocated according to the principles of minimising risks and achieving the appropriate diversification. The Group is also exposed to risks associated with receivables arising from loans to employees and investments in short-term deposits. The risk associated with loans granted is low, as those loans are repaid for the most part when employees' wages are paid, while the risks associated with other investments are mitigated through the appropriate diversification of investments and by monitoring the credit ratings of individual banks.

Telekom Slovenije is also exposed to credit risk in connection with receivables from loans to subsidiaries. The Company manages the risk of borrowers' failure to settle their obligations through the use of various collateral instruments in loan agreements, while it regularly monitors the operations and solvency of subsidiaries.

The Company's senior management assesses the credit quality of the above-stated financial assets, which were not impaired or overdue as at 30 June 2020, as good.

Solvency risk

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 require.

The Telekom Slovenije Group has revolving credit lines open at banks that ensure a high level of liquidity within the Group. Total liquidity reserves in the form of approved undrawn credit lines at banks amounted to EUR 155 million as at 30 June 2020. Telekom also has open revolving credit lines at subsidiaries in the amount of EUR 9 million. A total of EUR 7.4 million of those credit lines had been drawn as at 30 June 2020.

Debt is relatively low at the level of the Group and Company. The majority of the financial liabilities of the Group and Company relate to a long-term syndicated loan in the amount of EUR 230.8 million, five-year bonds in the amount of EUR 100 million, drawn revolving credit lines in the amount of EUR 15.0 million at the Group level and EUR 22.4 million at the Company level, and finance lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 69.2 million at the Group level and EUR 75.0 million at the Company level as the result of the implementation of IFRS 16. The Group and Company regularly repay liabilities from financing.

Interest rate risk

Interest-rate risk is the risk of the negative effect of a change in market interest rates on the Group's or Company's operations.

Liabilities from loans raised with variable interest rates tied to the 1-, 3- and 6-month EURIBOR accounted for 59.2% of the Group's interest-bearing financial liabilities and 57.4% of the Company's interest-bearing financial liabilities as at 30 June 2020. The remaining liabilities are accounted for by drawn short-term revolving credit lines (at the Company level), issued bonds and a finance lease with a fixed interest rate.

The Group and Company entered into an interest-rate swap with the aim of hedging exposure to interest-rate risk as the result of a long-term syndicated loan. The amount of the secured principal stood at EUR 73.1 million as at 30 June 2020. The principal is hedged against a rise in the reference interest rate if the latter is higher than or equal to zero. Fixed or hedged interest rates account for 58.4% of interest-bearing financial liabilities at the Group level and 59.7% at the Company level.

Financial receivables take into account the gross amount of loans granted, excluding impairments.

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 is hedged against a rise in the EURIBOR are also not included.
