1.2 Zagreb and Ljubljana Stock Exchange Trading overview

The largest securities turnover in the first three quarters of 2020 was realized in the period from the end of February to the end of April under the influence of the Covid-19 appearance in the Republic of Croatia. For this reason, in the first quarter, the securities turnover was by far the largest compared to the other two quarters of 2020, i.e. even three times higher turnover compared to the first quarter of last year (visible in the graphic below). Securities turnover has been declining since the beginning of May 2020, so that trading days in the third quarter would end with mostly lower turnover than the 2019 daily average. Therefore, the turnover in the second quarter was slightly higher than in the same period last year, while in the third quarter there was twice as less securities turnover as in the third quarter of 2019. It should be taken into account that in September 2019, the focus of trading was on Kraš shares due to the then takeover process, and then only HRK 40 million lower securities turnover was achieved than in the record March 2020, when turnover was affected by the Covid -19 appearance in the Republic of Croatia.

ZSE securities turnover

Looking only at the third quarter of 2020, the total orderbook turnover amounted to HRK 403 million (-54.15% less compared to the third quarter of 2019). Orderbook stock turnover amounted to HRK 365 million or -55.9% less than in the third quarter of the last year. Overall, the orderbook turnover in the first three quarters of 2020 amounted to HRK 2.07 billion or +17.13% more than in the first three quarters of the last year, of which the stock turnover accounted for HRK 1.90 billion, which is +16.77% more than in the first nine months of 2019.

Compared to the last day of the third quarter of 2019, the market value measured by market capitalization on September 30, 2020, is higher by a total of +5 billion HRK or +2.06%, while the equity market capitalization is lower by almost -15 billion or -10.17%. In addition to the already known Covid-19 impact, the reason for the decline in the equity market capitalization is reflected in the fewer number of listed shares (above graph). On 30 September 2020, a total of 18 shares were listed less than on the same day in 2019, 17 shares less on the Regular, and one share less on the Official Market.

Indices – value and turnover (3Q 2019 vs. 3Q 2020)

However, the comparison of the data for the third quarter with the data for the first quarter of the current year shows a stable and positive trend.

The following table shows how all stock indices rose relative to the closing value on March 31, 2020. The largest increase was recorded by CROBEXkonstrukt (+142.33%), CROBEXindustrija (+41.18%), CROBEXplus (+28.72%), CROBEXturist (+15.18) and CROBEXprime (+12.6%), while other indices increased slightly less than +10%, CROBEXtr (+9.72%), CROBEX10 (+9.21%) and CROBEX (+8.65%).

Indices – value and turnover (1Q 2020 vs. 3Q 2020)

Total orderbook turnover on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange in the first three quarters of 2020 increased by slightly over +30% compared to the same period in 2019. As in Croatia, the increase in turnover is influenced by the appearance of Covid-19 in Slovenia, with equity turnover reaching almost EUR 300 million in the first nine months of 2020 (+45,6% increase over the same period of 2019 when equity turnover reached just over EUR 205 million), while bond turnover amounted to EUR 1.8 million (a decrease of -92,6% compared to the same period in 2019 when it amounted to almost EUR 25 million).

1.3 Expected future development of the Group

In 2020, the Group will continue to focus on restoring confidence and raising Corporate Governance standards and reporting on a regulated market. The Group will also focus on greater promotion of existing issuers, with a focus on Prime Market.

The Group will press on with previously initiated projects, placing the greatest emphasis on the project of regional SME capital market development (Progress), and further activities related to financing and investing in start-ups (Funderbeam SEE).

The Group will continue to edit new websites and develop new and improve existing functionalities to make information even more accessible and understandable to users.

1.4 Research & Development activities

The Group invests constant efforts into developing and improving its own service offering and at expending service provision to the Slovenian market as well.

During the second half of 2019, the Zagreb Stock Exchange began migrating the Ljubljana Stock Exchange's downstream system to the Zagreb Stock Exchange's internally developed data warehouse system. Work on the full implementation of this system has also been carried over to the first part of 2020.

1.5 Information on repurchase of own shares

As of September 30, 2020, the companies in the Group held no own shares.

1.7 Financial instruments used by the Group

The Group is fully funded by its own capital. The financial instruments the companies in the Group invest in are investment funds (money market and bond funds) and deposits (a vista and fixed-term deposits).

1.8 Group's objectives and policies related to financial risk management

All employees of the companies in the Group, including their Management and Supervisory Board, are involved in the implementation of internal control and risk management systems.

1 On July 7, 2020, the Zagreb Stock Exchange signed Share purchase and transfer agreement representing 10% of the share capital of Funderbeam SEE d.o.o. Following the acquisition, the share of the Zagreb Stock Exchange in the total share capital of Funderbeam SEE d.o.o. is 30%.

1.9 Group's exposure to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk

The companies in the Group, Zagreb Stock Exchange and Ljubljana Stock Exchange, place their excess cash on deposits and invest in open-end money market and bond investment funds. Their investments are carried at fair value. Zagreb Stock Exchange and Ljubljana Stock Exchange mitigate the price risk by diversifying their portfolio of open-end investment funds by investing in different types of funds managed by different fund management companies, and by investing in low-risk funds.

SEE Link and Funderbeam SEE are not exposed to the risks mentioned in this paragraph.

The companies in the Group have no loans received from external financial institutions, rather their cash and financial assets exceed substantially the liabilities of the companies in the Group, and consequently, their liquidity position is satisfactory.

1.10 Statement of transactions and transfers within the Group and between the Group and its shareholders

The Group confirms that in the first three quarters of 2020 there were no transactions within the Group and between the Group and its shareholders in excess of EUR 100,000.

1.11 Statement of events which might have an adverse effect on Group operations

The emergence and spread of Covid-19 virus in the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia and the measures taken to stop the spread and suppression of the virus will certainly have negative effects on the entire economy. To mitigate these effects, the Governments of both countries have introduced a series of measures to support the economy. The Group companies do not currently qualify for any of these measures.

With its infrastructure and working procedures, the Group is fully trained and ready to ensure business continuity so that trading can proceed smoothly. Infrastructure and work processes are adapted to work in crisis situations, employees are on standby, additional investments were made to work from home, and tests related to work in such circumstances have been successfully carried out, ensuring that trading and business are carried out without difficulty even in emergency situations. The Group

will continue to closely monitor the development of the situation to ensure the orderly functioning of the market, financial stability and protection of investors.

1.12 Business results for 01/01/2020 – 30/09/2020

In the first three quarters of 2020, the Group generated a total of HRK 19,523 thousand of operating revenues, which is HRK +2,038 thousand or +11.7% more than in the same period last year when operating revenues amounted to HRK 17,485 thousand. Compared to the first three quarters of last year, sales revenues increased from HRK 11,198 to HRK 14,100 thousand, i.e. by a significant HRK +2,902 thousand, with the largest increase within sales revenues recorded by commissions and membership fees, which increased from HRK 5,325 to HRK 6,920 thousand (HRK +1,595 thousand or +30%), which was greatly influenced by the already mentioned increased trading volume from the end of February to the end of April 2020. However, looking at only the third quarter of the current year, commissions and membership fees are lower by HRK -484 thousand or -23.6% compared to last year's third quarter (down from HRK 2,049 to HRK 1,565 thousand), which is a reflection of the decline in securities turnover since mid-2020 and the one-time impact of the turnover increase on the Zagreb Stock Exchange in September 2019 due to trading in the Kraš share. Within sales revenues, revenues from listing maintenance fees also increased (increase from HRK 4,579 to HRK 5,654 thousand, i.e. HRK +1,075 thousand or +23.5%), revenues from quotation maintenance, continuing on a larger number of newly listed securities than in the same period last year, they increased from HRK 993 to HRK 1,249 thousand, or by HRK +256 thousand or +25.8%), while revenue from assigning and administering LEIs fell from HRK 301 to HRK 277 thousand (HRK -24 thousand or -8%). Compared to the first nine months of 2019, in the first three quarters of 2020, other operating revenues fell by a total of HRK -864 thousand (decrease from HRK 6,287 to HRK 5,423 thousand; HRK -864 thousand or -13.7%), within which revenues from the supply of information increased from HRK 4,256 to HRK 4,369 thousand (HRK +112 thousand or +2.6%), and other revenues decreased from HRK 2,030 to HRK 1,054 thousand (HRK -976 thousand or -48.1%) ). A significantly lower amount of other revenues in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period last year, mostly due to fewer seminars, which is why last year's higher revenues from seminars were missing (in the first three quarters of 2019 revenues from seminars amounted to about HRK 870 thousand). However, despite the COVID-19 crisis, the Zagreb Stock Exchange organized education through online platforms and in the first nine months of 2020 generated a small but significant income from seminars in the amount of HRK 260 thousand.

The Group's total operating expenses in the first three quarters of 2020 amounted to HRK 17,420 thousand, which is a decrease of HRK -619 thousand or -3.4% compared to the same period last year when operating expenses amounted to HRK 18,039 thousand. This significant decline in operating expenses is directly related to the changed way of working due to the coronavirus pandemic, primarily working from home. The decrease in operating expenses was mostly due to the decrease in material costs (HRK -918 thousand or -16.1%; from HRK 5,704 to HRK 4,786 thousand) and other costs (HRK - 483 thousand or -18.3%, i.e. from HRK 2,636 to HRK 2,153 thousand) for whose decline is most responsible the reduction of costs of translation, legal, notary and consulting services, royalties related to education, representation, business trips and PR. Compared to the same period last year, in the first nine months of 2020, other operating expenses also decreased (HRK -363 thousand or -92.3%; from HRK 393 to HRK 30 thousand), as well as the value adjustment of fixed and current assets (HRK -36 thousand or -21.6%; from HRK 169 to HRK 133 thousand), while staff costs increased by HRK +1,109 thousand or +14.3% (from HRK 7,740 to HRK 8,849 thousand), which is within the planned, and depreciation for HRK +73 thousand or +5.3% (from HRK 1,396 to HRK 1,469 thousand).
