1.2 Zagreb and Ljubljana Stock Exchange overview

In the first half of 2021, the orderbook turnover amounted to HRK 929 million, which is significantly less (-44%) than in the first half of last year, which was marked by increased securities turnover from the end of February until the beginning of May under the influence of the Covid-19 outbreak in the Republic of Croatia. Of this amount of turnover in the first six months of 2021, HRK 805 million relates to shares, HRK 93 million to bonds, while ETFs, which began trading in mid-November last year, in the first half of 2021 generated a turnover of just over HRK 31 million. In the same period, the equity block turnover amounted to almost HRK 292 million (H1 2020: HRK 305 million), while the debt block turnover was absent. If we compare the second with the first quarter of the current year, the orderbook turnover increased by slightly more than HRK +19 million or +4%, while the equity block turnover increased by a significant HRK +132 million or +166%.

Securities turnover

Compared to June 30, 2020, the market value measured by market capitalization as of June 30, 2021, is higher by almost HRK +15 billion or +6%, while the equity market capitalization alone is lower by HRK -1.6 billion or -1.2%. These data point to a constant market recovery since May last year when the initial market shock caused by the emergence of the Covid-19 virus, which contributed to a large drop in market capitalization in the first quarter of 2020, began to weaken.

As of 30 June 2021, a total of eight fewer shares were listed on the Regular Market compared to the same day in 2020, while one share from the Official Market moved to a higher quotation, the Prime Market.

Indices – value and turnover (1H 2020 vs. 1H 2021)

The total securities turnover on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange in the first half of 2021 decreased by - 9.7% compared to the same period last year. This is understandable because, as in Croatia, the securities turnover in the first half of 2020 was influenced by the Covid-19 outbreak in Slovenia. However, this decline is not as pronounced as on the Zagreb Stock Exchange because the turnover on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange has remained above average since May 2020, when the turnover on the Zagreb Stock Exchange decreased and returned closer to the usual amounts. The orderbook equity turnover in the first half of 2021 reached EUR 174 million (a decrease of -24% compared to the same period last year when it amounted to almost EUR 229 million), while the debt turnover amounted to only EUR 38 thousand, which is a decrease of -98% compared to the first six months of 2020 when the debt turnover amounted to EUR 1,823 thousand. In the first six months of this year, the equity block turnover amounted to almost EUR 45 million, while the debt block turnover was absent, as on the Zagreb Stock Exchange.

Ljubljana Stock Exchange Turnover

Compared to June 30, 2020, the equity market capitalization increased by almost +30% and on the last day of the first half of 2021 amounted to EUR 8.5 billion. Since the last value on June 30, 2020, the SBITOP index has increased by +32%, and with the listing of the first ETFs on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange in April 2021 started the calculation of the SBITR index, which ended the half-year at 1,268.

In 2021, uncertainty continued over the prevention measures taken to halt the spread and suppression of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible to estimate the future duration of the pandemic, but the Group is actively monitoring the situation and will take all necessary measures to minimize potential negative impacts in the event of a worsening situation. With its infrastructure and working procedures, the Group is fully trained and ready to ensure business continuity so that trading can run smoothly. Infrastructure and work processes are adapted to work in crisis situations, employees are on standby, and tests related to working in such circumstances have been successfully conducted, thus ensuring continuous trading in securities throughout the trading day, without difficulties even in emergencies.

The long-term effect can also affect the company's operations in terms of difficult operations of our clients - issuers, as well as reducing the volume of trade due to possible uncertainties of investors related to the impact of the crisis on the Croatian and Slovenian economy. Despite the aforementioned, at the date of issue of these financial statements, the Group continues to settle due to liabilities and, consequently, prepares financial statements under the assumption of indefinite operation.

1.12 Business results for 01/01/2021 – 30/06/2021

In the first half of 2021, the Group generated a total of HRK 12,645 thousand of operating revenues, which is HRK -1,168 thousand or -8.45% less than in the same period last year when they amounted to HRK 13,813 thousand. Compared to the first half of 2020, sales revenues fell from HRK 9,808 to HRK 8,792 thousand, i.e., by HRK -1,016 thousand or -10.36%. The significant decline in sales revenue is primarily the result of a decrease in trading commissions and membership fees, which, following the reduction in turnover compared to the significantly increased turnover in securities from the end of February to mid-April 2020, reached HRK 4,025 thousand in the first half of this year (HRK -1,330 thousand or -24.84% less compared to the first half of 2020 when they amounted to HRK 5,355 thousand). Although three bonds and one share were listed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange in the first half of 2021, i.e., two shares less than in the first half of 2020, revenues from listing fees at the Group level increased by HRK +144 thousand or +18.27% due to exceptional dynamism in terms of new listings on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. Namely, in the first half of 2021, one new share, two bonds, nine treasury bills, two commercial papers, and for the first time five ETFs were listed (in the first half of 2020, four bonds and one treasury bill were listed). Within sales revenue, listing maintenance fees also increased by HRK +170 thousand or +4.64% compared to the same period last year (increase from HRK 3,663 to HRK 3,833 thousand). Compared to the first half of 2020, other operating income fell by HRK -151 thousand or -3.78%, i.e., from HRK 4,004 to HRK 3,853 thousand. This decrease in other operating income is due to a decrease in other income (including income from education and income from the issuance and maintenance of LEI) which fell by HRK -168 thousand or -16.87% and amounted to HRK 829 thousand, while income from the supply of information increased from HRK 3,007 to HRK 3,024 thousand (HRK +17 thousand or +0.56%).

Looking only at the second quarter of 2021, the Group's total operating revenues amounted to HRK 6,378 thousand, which is HRK +140 thousand (+2.24%) more than in the second quarter of last year when operating revenues amounted to HRK 6,238 thousand. Sales revenues increased from HRK 4,315 thousand in the second quarter of 2020 to HRK 4,365 thousand in the same period of the current year. This increase is due to the increase in income from quotation maintenance from HRK 351 to HRK 420 thousand (HRK +69 thousand or +19.78%) for the reason already mentioned and the increase in listing maintenance fees from HRK 1,881 to HRK 1,917 thousand (HRK + 36 thousand or +1.9%). Although the Zagreb Stock Exchange recorded an increase in securities turnover in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year, the Ljubljana Stock Exchange generated slightly less turnover in the observed period than in the exceptionally good second quarter of 2020. For this reason, commissions and membership fees at the Group level fell from HRK 2,083 thousand in the second quarter of 2020 to HRK 2,027 thousand in the same period this year (HRK -56 thousand or -2.66%). The increase in operating revenues was also contributed by the increase in other operating revenues from HRK 1,923 to HRK 2,013 thousand (HRK +90 thousand or +4.68%). Within other operating revenues, compared to the second quarter of 2020, income from the supply of information increased from HRK 1,420 to HRK 1,575 thousand (HRK +155 thousand or +10.9%), while other income decreased from HRK 503 to HRK 438 thousand. (HRK -65 thousand or -12.88%).

At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, i.e., in the first quarter of 2020, the Group began to record a decline in operating expenses primarily due to a changed working mode (working from home, the lack of business trips, live events, etc.). In the first half of 2021, the Group's total operating expenses amounted to HRK 12,031 thousand which is HRK -56 thousand or -0.46% less than in the same period last year. Items of operating expenses that decreased in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period last year are value adjustments of fixed and current assets amounting to HRK 42 thousand (HRK -110 thousand or -72.45%), staff costs amounting to HRK 6,043 thousand (HRK -31 thousand or -0.52%), other operating expenses amounting to HRK 5 thousand (HRK -24 thousand or - 82.82%) and material costs amounting to HRK 3,421 thousand (HRK -13 thousand or -0, 37%), while only other costs amounting to HRK 1,533 thousand (HRK +116 thousand or +8.17%) and depreciation amounting to HRK 987 thousand (HRK +7 thousand or +0.7%) increased.

In the second quarter of 2021 alone, the Group's total operating expenses amounted to HRK 6,391 thousand, which is an increase of HRK +241 thousand (+3.91%) compared to the second quarter of last year when operating expenses amounted to HRK 6,150 thousand. As at the half-year level, the value adjustment of fixed and current assets amounts to HRK 42 thousand (a decrease of HRK -57 thousand or -57.57%). Other items of operating expenses are higher in the second quarter of 2021 than the amount in the same period last year: other operating expenses amounting to HRK 3 thousand (HRK +6 thousand), depreciation amounting to HRK 502 thousand (2Q 2020: HRK 492 thousand; HRK +10 thousand or +2.12%), staff costs amounting to HRK 3,220 thousand (2Q 2020: HRK 3,168 thousand; HRK +52 thousand or +1.64%), material costs amounting to HRK 1,741 HRK thousand (2Q 2020: HRK 1,683 thousand; HRK +58 thousand or +3.45%) and other costs amounting to HRK 882 thousand (2Q 2020: HRK 711 thousand; HRK +171 thousand or + 24.08%).

The Group's key business indicators

The Group's operating profit in the first half of 2021 amounted to HRK 614 thousand, while in the same period last year it amounted to HRK 1,725 thousand. At the second-quarter level, the Group reported an operating loss in the amount of HRK -13 thousand, while the operating profit in the same period last year amounted to HRK 88 thousand. Financial income decreased at half-year level as well as at the second-quarter level compared to the same periods last year. In the first half of this year, financial revenues amounted to HRK 103 thousand (HRK -75 thousand or -64.15%), while financial revenues in the second quarter amounted to HRK -28 thousand (HRK -131 thousand or -127.58%). In the first half of this year, financial expenses amounted to HRK 299 thousand (HRK -229 thousand or -43.4%), while in the second quarter alone they were higher by HRK +268 thousand and amounted to HRK 65 thousand (in the second quarter of 2020, financial expenses due to the reduction of unrealized losses on financial assets were in the positive amount of HRK 203 thousand).

If we add up the positive operating profit, negative net financial result, share in the profit/loss of the associates and subsidiaries in the amount of HRK 20 thousand and income tax in the amount of HRK 53 thousand, the Group's net profit for the first six months of 2021 amounts to HRK 324 thousand, which is HRK -860 thousand (-72.65%) less than in the same period of 2020, when the Group's net profit amounted to HRK 1,183 thousand. Adding other comprehensive income in the amount of HRK 7 thousand to the net profit, in the first half of 2021 the Group's total comprehensive income amounts to HRK 330 thousand (a decrease of HRK -1,151 thousand or -77.69% compared to HRK 1,481 thousand in the first half of 2020). The share in the profit/loss of the associates and subsidiaries in the second quarter of 2021 amounts to HRK -52 thousand, and the profit tax amounts to HRK 7 thousand, therefore the Group in the second quarter of 2021 records a loss in the amount of HRK -165 thousand and a total comprehensive loss in the amount of HRK -158 thousand.

Operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is positive and in the first half of 2021 amounts to HRK 1,600 thousand, i.e., HRK -1,105 thousand less than in the first half of 2020, while in the second quarter of 2021 it amounts to HRK 489 thousand, i.e., HRK -91 thousand less than in the same period last year.
