Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

Foreword

In the first half of 2020, the NIS Group achieved good operating indictors, in particular in crude oil refining and sales and distribution of petroleum products. However, the financial results remained significantly affected by downward trends, primarily the COVID-19 epidemic, drastic decline of demand for petroleum products, and low oil prices in the global market. Under such conditions, protecting health of its employees and customers, social stability of employees, and providing regular supply of the domestic market were NIS' top priorities. As a result of considerable efforts, these priorities were fulfilled, provided significant organisational and logistic resources in order to adapt the NIS' system comprising over 11,000 employees to the newly created circumstances. In addition to its efforts to achieve savings, NIS continued making significant investments in capital projects, seeking to contribute to the further development of the Group once the crisis period is over.

As for operating indictors, in spite of numerous challenges, the oil and gas production was preserved at practically the same level as in the first six months last year. 636 thousand tons of oil equivalent of oil and gas were produced, which is by one percent lower than in the reference period last year. The crude oil and semi-finished product refining volumes were increased by 35 percent compared to the first half of the previous year, and Pančevo Oil Refinery processed 1,630 million tons. In spite of the dramatic drop of demand as opposed to the expected levels, the NIS Group marked higher sales volumes than on the year before. Hence the total sales in the first half of 2020 was 1.556 million tons, which is by two percent higher compared to the reference period. Nevertheless, considering that the average Brent price in the previous six months amounted to 39.7 dollar, i.e. 40 percent lower than on the year before, the NIS Group's sales revenues in the first six months were by 27 percent lower than in 2019, or RSD 85.9 billion.

Notwithstanding the adverse macroeconomic climate, NIS managed to maintain the EBITDA indicator at a positive level of RSD 2.3 billion, as well as a positive cash flow of RSD 6.3 billion. However, the negative trends did affect the final financial result of the NIS Group, leading to a net loss of RSD 10.2 billion. Still, the crisis did not prevent NIS from making capital investments and, in the period from January to June, RSD 14.5 billion was invested in further development. In the aforesaid period, the NIS Group's obligations based on public revenues amounted to RSD 83.9 billion RSD, which is by 5 percent higher than in the first six months of 2019. Furthermore, the NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad Shareholders Assembly at the session on June 30, 2020 made a decision to pay out dividends from 2019 profit, pursuant to which the shareholders will be paid out the total of RSD 4.4 billion.

As regards capital investments, major investments were made in the field of oil and gas exploration and production, end of construction of the DCU in Pančevo Oil Refinery, and retail network modernisation. The implementation of digital projects continued, and GAZPROM and NIS Petrol petrol station customers, for the first time in Serbia, had an opportunity to pay fuel without going to the payment terminal by using Drive.Go digital application. Additionally, modernisation and development of the retail network continued, and the 19th NIS' petrol station started operating in Romania - Otopeni, while an A-format modern city petrol station was opened in Leskovac.

In the condition of crisis, NIS continued contributing to the welfare of the community. For one thing, the Company donated 270 tons of aviation fuel to national airways company "Air Serbia", for the flights delivering humanitarian aid to Serbia for treatment of COVID-19 patients. Secondly, NIS' majority shareholder, a Russian company Gazprom Neft, provided in April and May fuel for the Ministry of Interior of Serbia, Emergency Medical Services, and Firefighting Brigade. In addition, NIS provided 33 thousand litres of "Jazak" drinking water, produced by the Company, to the residents of Ivanjica and Blace municipalities that were affected by floods. In the first half of 2020, NIS marked an important anniversary. The 10th in sequence verified sustainability report was presented to the public, transparently demonstrating, to all stakeholders, NIS' efforts in 2019 to improve financial results, strengthen the human resources, give further contribution to environmental protection and occupational safety, and allocate a part of its positive results into community development.

NIS Group

For the reminder of the year, which is also expected to be under the influence of adverse macroeconomic circumstances, NIS focus will remain on protection of health of its employees and customers, including improvement of financial results. Relying on its own strengths, NIS is determined to preserve social stability of its employees. Therefore, the priorities of the NIS Group will be cost reduction at all levels, maintaining liquidity, further investments in the key development projects, and improvement of operational efficiency. The combination of these measures will represent the NIS' efficient response to the challenges presented to the oil sector in 2020.

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

NIS Group

NIS Group is one of largest vertically integrated energy systems in Southeast Europe. It employs approximately 11,000 employees in Serbia and the region. NIS' core activities include exploration, production and refining of oil and natural gas, sale and distribution of a wide range of petroleum and gas products, as well as the implementation of energy- and petrochemistry-related projects.

The headquarters and main assets of the NIS Group are located in the Republic of Serbia, but the Group also has subsidiaries and representative offices in several other countries. NIS aims to create new value for its shareholders, employees and the community in which it operates, despite the challenging macroeconomic environment.

Business activities

Business activities of NIS Group are organized within the parent company, NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad, under Exploration and Production Block1 and DOWNSTREAM2 Division.

Exploration and production Block

Exploration and production

NIS is the only company in Republic Serbia engaged in the exploration and production of oil and gas. NIS' activities in this field also include operative support to production, managing oil and gas reserves, managing the development of oil and gas reservoirs, so as major exploration and production projects. Most of NIS' reservoirs are located in Serbia, while exploration is also carried in Bosnia an Herzegovina and Romania, where experimental production began. NIS' oldest concession is in Angola, where oil exploitation started as far back as 1985.

Within Exploration and Production business segment operates an Elemir-based plant for the preparation of natural gas, production of LPG and natural gasoline and CO2 capture, which has the design capacity of 65,000 tonnes of LPG and natural gasoline per year. An amine plant for natural gas processing, that uses HiPACT technology (High Pressure Acidgas Capture Technology) is also located in Elemir. This plant in Elemir is the first HiPACT plant in Europe, and the gas processing method completely prevents the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The "Exploration and Production" Units are involved in generating power and heat, as well as compressed gas output.

Since 2013, in oil and gas fields located in eight different areas throughout Serbia, NIS has launched small- scale power plants, their maximum power totalling 14 MWe. In terms of environment, the operation of this energy source brings the advantage of generating power and heat out of the gas, which had not been used, due to great concentrations of carbon-dioxide and nitrogen, or because it was impossible to valorise it, due to the lack of gas infrastructure.

During the course of 2020, NIS continued to generate power in Romania's Jimbolia gas-field. The current daily production power is over 6 МWh. The power generated in Jimbolia is being sold in Romania's market. Besides, we have continued the pilot oil production in the Teremia North oil field.

NIS is determined to constantly develop its technologies and implement business innovations in every segment of its operations, so modernization is one of the priorities in the exploration and production segment. In the field of exploration and production, scientific and technological support is provided by the Scientific and Technological Centre - STC NIS - Naftagas LLC Novi Sad.

1. Exploration and production and subsidiary companies - STC NIS - Naftagas LLC Novi Sad, Naftagas - Oil Services LLC Novi Sad, Naftagas - Transport LLC Novi Sad.
2. Refining Block, Block Sales and Distribution, Energy Department and subsidary company Naftagas - Technical Services LLC Zrenjanin.

Refining

NIS manages the Pančevo Oil Refinery with maximum projected capacity of 4.8 million tonnes of crude oil per year. After the MHC/DHT Complex became operational in 2012, the Pančevo Oil Refinery produces: motor fuel in accordance with the Euro-5 standard3 , jet fuel, liquid petroleum gas, petrochemical raw materials, fuel oil, bitumen and other petroleum products. The continuos modernization of its refining facilities enabled NIS to locally produce fuels that meet European quality standards. It has also secured the strategically important leading position of the NIS group on the regional market of petroleum products.

Pre-commissioning is almost complete at the Pančevo Refinery and launching activities started within the DCU based on delayed coking technology, which is the key project of the second phase of the Refinery's modernization. After the completion of this project, the Pančevo Oil Refinery will produce larger quantities of the finest petroleum products (primarily diesel), and will also start producing coke, a product which is currently imported into Serbia.

Sales and distribution

NIS Sales and Distribution includes export and local wholesale of crude oil, gas and petroleum products, as well as retail of petroleum end products, liquid petroleum gas and other supplementary products. All types of fuel undergo regular, comprehensive laboratory testing and comply with national and international standards.

NIS operates the largest retail network in Serbia but its petrol stations are present in the countries of the region as well - in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria and Romania. In Serbia and in the region, NIS manages a network of over 400 retail outlets and has two brands in the market: NIS PETROL and GAZPROM, a premium gas station brand. NIS' separate business operations include aviation fuel supply, bunkering services and sale and distribution of lubricants and bitumen.

The lubricants segment is one of the NIS's key "non-fuel" business operations and is crucial for increasing brand recognition and customer loyalty. The lubricant segment business includes production, sale, development and marketing of lubricants and technical fluids.

3 After the completion of the mild hydrocracking and hydrotreatment plant (MHC/DHT) in 2012, NIS has completely switched to the production of motor fuel that meets the European quality standards.

Risk Management

Integrated Risk Management System

Risk is a likely future event that can affect, either positively or aversely, the achievement of the Company's objectives at all management levels. Risk management is a continuous and systematic business process which serves to support management decision-making and the achievement of an organisation's objectives in a risk exposure environment.

The Company's operations involve certain risks which may significantly affect the fulfilment of set objectives, if realised. The Company acknowledges the existence of risks and makes a sustained effort to manage them in a structured manner. An effective risk management is central to ensuring the Company's business continuity and a well-established risk management framework outlines the Company's risk management procedures and lays the groundwork for business decision-making.

The Company has defined its risk management objectives and has an integrated risk management system (IRMS) in place. The Company's objective in the field of risk management is to increase the effectiveness of managerial decisions by identifying, analysing and assessing related risks, outlining risk management strategies and ensuring the maximum effectiveness of risk management during the implementation of decisions.

The Company's risk management objectives are achieved through the following tasks:

• establishing a risk management culture in the Company in order to ensure that both the management and employees have a full understanding of the basic risk management principles and approaches;
• defining and establishing a systemic approach to identifying and assessing the risks inherent to the Company's operations, both in general and specific business areas;
• encouraging the exchange of risk information between the corporate organizational units, and the collaboration in the identification that risk management measures and
• providing structured information on risks to the corporate governance bodies.

The IRMS is a set of phases, methodologies and instruments aimed at ensuring the efficiency of Company's risk management process.

13

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

IRMS Business Process Flow at NIS

The basic principle underpinning this system says that the responsibility for managing risks is assigned to risk owners, namely owners of business processes in the Company. Such approach ensures that the responsibility for risk management and monitoring is identified for all processes of the Company, and that suitable strategies and action plans are prepared in order to manage risks at the level of individual business processes and Company as a whole.

The Company has set up its Section for Risk Management System Monitoring to coordinate and continually improve this business process.

Risks are identified and assessed by analysing data sources (internal and external databases, key risk indicators), through interviews, risk sessions, etc. They are ranked in line the Risk Matrix, defined based on risk propensity. Assessment can be carried out using either the quantitative or the qualitative method.

The Company has implemented key risk indicators aimed at early identification of changes and their potential causes which could subsequently lead to Company's failure to achieve its targets. They demonstrate the risk exposure of certain key indicators and defined time period of monitoring.

IRMS in business planning process

The key risks associated with Company goals are acknowledged by the Board of Directors through the adoption of business plans. Risk assessment is an integral part of the business planning process, while information on key risks - estimated financial effect of the risks, risk management strategies and measures, financial resources needed to implement the measures - are incorporated in the adopted business plans.

Through its operations, the Group is exposed to the following risk categories, respectively groups:

	RISK DESCRIPTION		RISK DESCRIPTION

Operational Risks

Project Risks

In the area of geological exploration, the NIS Group aims to increase reserves as well as Company's production. This largely depends on the

outcome of geological exploration activities, which aim to increase active well stock in the country and abroad.

The main risk in oil and gas exploration and production is a potential failure to prove estimated reserves and, consequently, failure on the part of NIS to achieve its planned reserves growth.

Risk mitigation measures include the implementation of new 3D seismic surveys using the latest wireless technology; selection of candidates for exploratory drilling based on complex seismic and geological data interpretation; using the largest shareholder's expertise in geological exploration programs and selecting the most prospective wells using of state-of-the-art exploration methods. To mitigate risks, special attention is paid to a robust preparation of projects for implementation and advanced monitoring during geological exploration operations.

In order to reduce licensing risks, exploration research is carried out in line with schedules, defined by geological research programs and provisions of the Law on Mining and Geological Exploration that, among other things, regulates the field of exploration and production of oil and gas.

HSE risks

Due to the nature of its activity, the Company is exposed to a wide range of health, safety and environmental risks, e.g. drilling incidents, failures in operation of process facilities and accidents in transportation of oil and petroleum products.

The Company continuously monitors working process, employees, operating facilities, working and environmental conditions with a view to protect employees, equipment and plants, the environment, as well and fulfilling legal obligations and it also adapts normative and methodological documents to the changes in legislation of the Republic of Serbia in a timely manner and controls the compliance with it. It carries out timely implementation of corrective measures ordered through the observation system deriving from investigation of HSE incidents, corporate oversight and external inspections. The Company continuously carries out HSE training in the areas of legal regulations, on-the-job training, so as HSE management system and emergency response. Given the crisis scenario due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only the medical examinations required by the legal regulations are planned and organized. Numerous campaigns and educational activities, forums and healthy lifestyle training, contractor management events are organized, as well as physical and

15

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

recreational activities aimed at improving health and well-being of employees were carried out in accordance with the Plan until declaring the state of emergency. Due to the state of emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and in the world, a Crisis Team was formed in the Company, as well as emergency preparedness and response teams in the organizational parts of the NIS Group. An Operational Plan for Responding to the COVID-19 Situation as well as a Plan for the Implementation of Measures and the Setting of Barriers to Control the Risk of COVID-19 at the Company level were developed and agreed. The implementation of all measures is monitored on a daily basis and reported to the Crisis Team daily meetings on their implementation. The NIS Group is investing enormous resources and efforts to protect employees and counteract the effects of coronavirus.

HR risks

Highly qualified personnel is a key prerequisite of efficient operations of the Company, lack of qualified employees, particularly with engineering and technological expertise, can present a significant challenge to Company's performance.

The Company is implementing a broad spectrum of activities aimed at attracting and retaining qualified staff. Early recruitment programs (cooperation with educational establishments, scholarships), NIS Calling, Serbia Repatriation are just some of the examples of Company's recruitment effort.

Along with employee motivation program inclusive of management by objectives, quarterly and annual bonuses, bonuses for production and technical units, sales incentives, special and project-based bonuses, continuous implementation and improvement of non- material motivation system and long-term motivation, the Company strives to enhance its image by means of the Employer branding project.

Employee retention programs include Talent management program, Talent development program, professional/specialized courses, management training and introduction of a unique talent management program.

IT risks

The Company is becoming increasingly aware of the growing dependence of business processes on the quality of IT, automation and telecommunications.

Furthermore, oil and gas industry is considerably exposed to cyber threats.

The Company manages these risks applying a number of measures including IT security standards, security tools, monitoring of threat detection and tracking system and testing of its recovery procedures. Continuous staff training programs are put in place in order to build risk awareness, whereas exchange of incident information with management enables continuous learning.

Information security risks

The Company is exposed to business risks emanating from potential violation of integrity, confidentiality and availability of information.

Protection of information at the Company implies a variety of activities that, by adequate handling of the information, have a positive impact on performance by maintaining continuity of business processes and minimizing business risks.

Company's system of information protection is a comprehensive array of rules prescribed by executive and normative-methodological documents, suitable organizational and technical solutions and activities aimed at implementation and control of security measures in place.

NIS Group

Political Risks

Risk of EU and US Economic Restrictions on Gazprom Neft Group

As a result of the introduction of EU-US economic restrictive measures, Gazprom Neft Group faces limited opportunities for long-term borrowing with commercial banks belonging to banking groups headquartered in the EU and the US.

In addition, the Company is also exposed to the indirect consequences of sanctions, that is, the potential inability to obtain materials, equipment and services from foreign suppliers.

The Company performs continual analysis of possible political and economic risks and evaluates the consequences for the Company. In line with allowed exemption from the sanctions (long-term loans are possible only if intended for funding the import of goods and services from the EU), Company's operations are continuously being adjusted by increasing the volume of imported goods and services from EU suppliers. In this way, funds are provided for financing Company' long- term development despite the limitations of the sanctions regime.

The Company is working to establish strategic reserves for key material and technical resources and identify alternative suppliers from beyond the European Union, and is considering alternative technologies.

Financial Risks

	RISK DESCRPTION		RISK MANAGEMENT MEASURES

Credit Risks

It occurs in cash funds, deposits with banks and

financial institutions, intercompany loans/loans to third parties, as well as in the sale of oil derivatives with deferred payment.

Credit risk management is established at the level of the NIS Group. With respect to credit limits, banks are ranked according to adopted methodologies applicable to major and other banks, in order to determine the maximum extent of bank exposure of NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad at any given time (through deposits, documentary instruments: bank guarantees, Letters of Credit, etc. issued for the benefit of NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad).

With regard to accounts receivable, there is a credit limit methodology in place which serves to define the level of exposure in relation to individual customers, depending on their financial indicators..

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk denotes a risk of NIS Group encountering difficulty in meeting its liabilities. It is the risk of not having suitable funds to finance the NIS Group's business operations.

NIS Group continually monitors liquidity in order to provide sufficient cash to meet its operational, investment and financial performance requirements. To this end, the Group continually contracts and secures sufficient lines of credit and security instruments, ensuring that the maximum loan debt level is not exceeded (the parent company sets the limit) and that all its obligations under commercial bank arrangements (covenants) are met.

Since mid-September 2014, NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad has been exposed to the risk of limited external funding due to the sectoral sanctions imposed by the EU and the US on the largest Russian-owned energy companies and their subsidiaries incorporated outside the EU. The sanctions prevent NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad from borrowing from EU or US banks for a period longer than 30 and 60 days respectively. The exemption from the EU sanctions includes g for a period longer than 30 days from EU banks exclusively if the loan is intended for the payment of non- sanctioned goods and services imported from the EU.

In order to secure the necessary funds for future transactions, NIS negotiated/contracted over EUR 700 million in new lines of credit with

17

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

Serbian, Russian and Arabian banks for general purpose funding and with Serbia-based European banks for funding imports from the EU (financing for a period longer than 30 days is allowed if the funds are used to import goods or services from the EU). Thus, in order to improve its loan portfolio, NIS secured the necessary funds for timely repayment of loans in 2018 and 2019, as well as for early repayment of expensive loans (reducing the average financing cost and maintaining optimum average portfolio maturity). By improving its portfolio and restructuring the loan portfolio (in 2018/2019), NIS has reduced the mandatory loan repayments for the next four years, and redirected the cash flow towards the implementation of planned investments and regular operation of the Company.

Moreover, in order to further improve its loan portfolio and secure additional lines of funding in 2020 and 2021, Company held a call for proposals in Q1 2020 and improved the conditions (interest rate reduction) for three loans in the total amount of EUR 182.2 million, and secured new credit lines of credit under favourable terms in the amount of about EUR 85 million for loans. The use of these sources of funding will ensure early repayment of unfavourable loans and decreased the average portfolio cost in comparison to the end of 2019. In addition, this ensured that the remaining average credit portfolio maturity stayed between target range 2.5 and 3.42 years at the end of 2020.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company was exposed to the risks related to the oil price drop, state of emergency in the Republic of Serbia, and drastically reduced liquidity as the effect of Covid-19 pandemic on businesses. On account of active measures such as: development of different liquidity forecast scenarios, actual decrease in liabilities, prolonged payment term for obligations, drawing short- term RSD credits from commercial banks that do not apply the sanctions - the Company managed to secure sufficient liquidity to maintain the stability of the financial flow, while keeping the level of bank debt within the set limits.

Price Risks

Due to its core activity, NIS Group is exposed to risks associated with price volatility, specifically the price of crude oil and petroleum products that affects the value of inventories and the oil refining margin, which in turn affects future cash flows.

These risks are partly offset by adjusting petroleum product selling prices to the changes in oil and petroleum product prices. The need to use some of commodity hedging instruments in the Group's subsidiaries, including NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad as a subsidiary, is at the discretion of Gazprom Neft Group.

In addition, the following actions are undertaken to reduce a potentially negative effects of this risk:

• annual planning based on multiple scenarios, plan follow-up and timely adjustment of operating plans for crude oil procurement;
• regular sessions of NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad Committee in charge of crude oil purchase/sale to discuss all major topics related to crude oil purchase and sale (sale of oil from Angola-Palanca crude oil);
• tendency to enter into long-term crude oil purchase contracts at most favourable commercial terms and with longer payment terms on an open account basis, and sales contracts which would exempt NIS j.s.c. Novi Sad, in line with current intergovernmental

18

NIS Group

agreements, from paying customs duties for imports, based on preferential status;

• expansion of the supplier portfolio, successful cooperation with EU-based companies, stronger competitive advantage in import tenders and more prominent progress regarding purchase prices;
• expansion/diversification of the crude oil basket for prospective import, provision of samples of the crude oil types that have not been used for processing at the Pančevo Oil Refinery;
• constant efforts to optimize processes and achieve the optimum economic effects and indicators;
• occasional benchmarking to survey the market and price trends and to analyze the commercial capacities of major prospective suppliers of crude oil, reputable companies which are dominant and reliable in crude oil trading.

Foreign Exchange Risks

Company operates in an international setting and is thus exposed to the risk of fluctuating foreign exchange rates arising from business transactions being made in different currencies, primarily EUR and USD. The risk involves future trade transactions and

recognised assets and liabilities.

The risks relating to fluctuations in the national currency against the US dollar is partly neutralised through natural hedging of petroleum product selling prices, which are adjusted to these fluctuations. Risk management instruments are also used, such as forward transactions on the foreign exchange market, which help reduce the impact of foreign currency losses in the event of depreciation of the national currency against the EUR (following the sanction constraints imposition Company pays the majority of its foreign currency liabilities in this currency). Other measures include the balancing of the foreign exchange equilibrium in terms of adjusting the currencies in which export transactions are denominated to the currencies of foreign exchange liabilities; managing the currency structure of the loan portfolio, etc.

Interest Rate Risks

Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate volatility, both in terms of its bank loans and deposits.

Company takes out loans with commercial banks at either floating or fixed interest rates, depending on the forecasts of base interest rates in the monetary market and the business banks' capability to offer fixed interest rates for loans. Funds in the form of intercompany loans to third parties are taken out at floating or fixed interest rates, whereas funds deposited as term or demand deposits mostly are placed at flat interest rates. Deposits are aligned with the credit limit methodologies of commercial banks (funds are reciprocally placed only with major commercial banks from which Company takes out loans and/or lines of credit/security instruments). In this respect, revenues and cash flows from bank deposits and a section of intercompany loans are predominantly independent of any changes in base interest rates.

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

Business environment9

The world

After the turbulent first quarter of the year, in April oil supply exceeded the demand by 25 million barrels per day and the storage crisis depend even further. The International Energy Agency, IEA, reports that in the second quarter, the average daily oil demand was lower than 17.8 million barrels lower YoY. The IEA expects the 2020 average daily demand to be 8.1 million barrels lower YoY and to then increase by 5.7 barrels in 2021. Even such moderate growth is contingent upon at least three factors: China's strong performance after the blockade, coordinated efforts of the OPEC+ members, and decreased production in the USA, Canada, and other G20 countries.

By the end of June storage capacities worldwide were almost filled up, so if the epidemic persists or comes back with a second wave and the demand remains low this may become a serious problem. China, the largest global crude oil importer, is expected to reduce imports in the third quarter after a peak in the second. India, the world's third-largest importer, has already reduced imports dramatically, to the level that is lower than that of November 2011. Indian refineries report to have sufficient oil stocks and will keep buying less.

Another challenge the world faced in the second quarter of the year was the storage of finished petroleum products. In Russia, for example, the refineries were forces to rent tanks from railway companies, as they were out of storage capacities but could not stop production for technical reasons.

In order to stop the oil price drop and relieve the pressure on storage capacities, the OPEC countries, Russia, and partners held another meeting in early April. The participants agreed to decrease daily production during May and June by 9.7 billion barrels and to implement stricter controls to make sure all member countries honor the commitment. In early June this restriction was extended to last until the end of July.

Unrelated to this deal, but caused by the global recession, a number of U.S. shale oil producers have begun closing their wells and declaring bankruptcy.

Rystad Energy reports that due to events of the first half of 2020, the discovery of conventional resources on a global level amounted to only 4.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent, less than ever before in the century. The number of discovered fields was 42% lower and the number of discoveries was 31% lower YoY. Wood Mackenzie called this period the worst in the history of the oil production sector, reducing this year's forecast for global investments in the sector by 30% and the appraised value of the global oil industry by 1,600 billion dollars. Petroleum companies worldwide are cutting costs dramatically. British Petroleum, for example, announced layoffs of 10,000 employees worldwide, out of the total of 71,000, to adapt to the oil consumption decline caused by the COVID-19 epidemic. Most of these layoffs will be completed by the end of the year.

Shell also plans a comprehensive restructuring, including layoffs as part of the cost-cutting measures, and the first reduction of dividends since the 1940s.

Reduced oil demand, redundancy of production capacities, and budget cuts will make the next couple of years extremely challenging for the refining industry. Wood Mackenzie forecasts a significant excess of refinery capacities, which only the strongest will survive. Excess capacity was a concern even before the COVID-19 epidemic, and due to the recent events, gross refinery margins on the global level are significantly lower than before.

of America's main storage were filled up. This

bizarre situation did not significantly affect the global market, as the price did recover the next day during the trading for June's supplies. Some experts, however, warn that this phenomenon might happen again if the WTI consumption does not recover and the storages remain full, as the coronavirus pandemic is practically paralyzing the global industry and transport.

Traders worldwide are buying the cheapest oil in hopes of a future price increase with over 160 barrels of crude stored on tankers. Much of the oil is being stored on 60 supertankers, also known as very large crude carriers (VLCCs), which have a capacity to hold more than 2 million barrels each. The freight of supertankers has reached an all-time high of $300,000 per day. Under the agreement with the Energy Ministry, several American companies are now storing oil in strategic reserve storage.

Additional pressure on the USA all market in April came out from the contracted import of over 40 million barrels of crude oil from Saudi Arabia. Most of the oil ended up in China, which used the opportunity to fill its storages with cheap oil and petroleum products.

Brent price in May recovered to 28.98 dollars and then to 40.1 dollars per barrel in June. According to experts, as the demand recovers in the second half of 2020, the price will grow further. Goldman Sachs's average yearly forecast for Brent price is 40.4 dollars per barrel.

Macroparametres

According to the statement released at the end of June, the IMF is forecasting the recession to be even deeper than initially expected, as industry restrictions lockdown and social distancing measures persist in most countries. The latest IMF forecast includes the global 2020 GDP reduction of 4.9% and the total loss of production of 12 billion dollars by the end of 2021. The EU economy will expectedly reduce by 8.3% in 2020.

It has been mentioned that the global economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic may eventually exhaust the IMF's 1-billion-dollar emergency lending fund, but the IMF member countries are prepared to provide additional support to the find if necessary, as around three-quarters of the IMF lending capacity is still available.

Both the OECD and the European Commission pointed out in the recently released special reports that it will most likely take years for the economy to recover from the blow of the pandemic and the recession in Europe will be much deeper than forecasted a few months ago. Experts agree that the virus spreads unpredictably, which makes forecasting very difficult. The loss of jobs is already 10 times higher than during the first months

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

of the global financial crisis of 2008. The OECD economists state that the employment rates in Europe, the USA, and other developed economies are not likely to return to the pre-pandemic levels before 2022.

Serbia

COVID-19 and the global recession will leave their mark on Serbia, as well as on other European countries, although the National Bank of Serbia believes the effects will be less severe due to the microeconomic stability, favourable growth momentum in the previous period and fiscal space, favourable structure of the economy, and a timely introduction of lockdown measures, which consequently allowed earlier easing of the restrictions.

NBS expects to see the most significant impacts of the pandemic in Q2; it further anticipates the overall decline of GDP in 2020 at the level of -1.5%, with estimated +6% in 2021. It is predicted that economic policy measures that have been and will be adopted will enable GDP recovery to the pre-crisis level and its sustainable growth of around 4% in the medium term.

The economic aid package of EUR 5.1 bn (around 11% of GDP, 50% of budget), approved in April, was in line with other countries' measures to alleviate the effects of the pandemic: deferred payment of payroll taxes and contributions and income tax advances; setting a credit fund of the Government and banks worth EUR 2 billion, including that the Government will warrant around EUR 550 million of loans during a three-year period; the Government will buy off corporate bonds, including possible capital increase in EPS and Telekom; micro- and macro-sized enterprises received EUR 250 monthly for each employee over the period of three months, provided they did not dismiss over 10% of employees; all citizens of Serbia over the age of 18 received one-time assistance of EUR 100.

In May, a seven-year Eurobond of EUR 2 bn was issued at an interest rate of 3.375%, while public debt is estimated to remain below the Maastricht criteria of 60% of GDP. Public debt stood at 57.2% of GDP at the end of May. The Government program for mitigation of negative effects of coronavirus will increase the budget deficit in 2020, as well as the public debt.

In June, the NBS made a decision to continue alleviating the monetary policy and cut the benchmark interest rate to 1.25%.

The inflation remains stable, moving around 2% on average, over a longer period. Because of a sharp decrease in oil prices, which reflected on lower petroleum product prices, as well as the base effect in vegetable prices, the inflation slowed down since the start of 2020.

The projection risks and uncertainty are mainly associated with the trends in the international environment, primarily global trade and economic growth, capital flows to emerging economies and the global prices of oil and other primary commodities. The inflation trend will also depend on the pace of recovery of domestic demand and administered prices. The NBS expects the average inflation of 1.5% and 1.8% in 2020 and 2021 respectively.

The industrial production in the Republic in Serbia, in May 2020, was lower by 9.3% as opposed to May 2019, and lower by 8.8% as opposed to the 2019 average. The overall current growth of the industrial production in May 2020, compared to April 2020, was 15.2%. The current growth of the processing industry in May 2020, compared to April 2020, was 24.2%. Observed by sectors, in May 2020, compared to May 2019, the mining sector marked a 3.9% decrease, the processing industry a 9.3% decrease, and the sector for electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning an 11.5% decrease.

Exports of goods and services are 3.3% lower in the first half of 2020. Following a decline in March-April (33% cumulatively), the recovery in export of goods began in May (+9.0%) driven by the recovery in manufacturing industry exports (+7.9%) - primarily, cars, machinery and textiles. Following a cumulative fall of 35% in March-April, imports of goods also increased in May (11%) driven by intermediate products and capital goods. The major reduction in imports in the current year is expected in energy and other industrial inputs,

22

NIS Group

due to price drop and reduction in the overall economic activity. The oil price drop will have a further delayed effect on lower natural gas import prices throughout 2021.

In spite of the NBS' positive projections, many economic analysts advise that the March/April forecasts on duration of pandemic have drastically changed and that with every new issued report and projection the degree of caution and pessimism is higher. In July already, the health situation in Serbia was more drastic than during the state of emergency, and new measures are discussed, which could deliver a new blow to the industry.

After only four months, the deficit in the state coffers reached almost one billion euro, with May being no less successful, given a further decline in industrial production and import (this has a special importance, considering that the VAT charge for import goods is one of the highest budget inflows). The mid-year budget balance is not promising, and yet another round of crisis is possible, which could, in the autumn, strike the economy, consequently calling for another cycle of Government aid for the industry. The deficit could reach 8% of GDP, and even if the economic recovery comes in the next year, it will require a decrease of the budget deficit, given that the public debt will, to all appearances, exceed 60% of GDP by the end of the current year.

Economic analysts point out that, currently, it is impossible to make any prognosis about the epidemics in the autumn; will there be any new restrictions imposed on the economy and deepening of the crisis.

The unemployment trend is growing in Serbia. According to the records of the National Employment Agency, over 10,000 people reported to this institution in May, while this number was increased by around 3,000 newly reported cases in June, which is drastically higher compared to the beginning of the year.

As a result of the growing economic crisis, a number of foreign companies have postponed their investments in Serbia, or have suspended the production until the market conditions are met to continue producing. According to the "2019 World Investment Report" of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Serbia experienced the highest inflow of foreign direct investments in the region (4.1 billion dollar), marking a growth of 44 percent in 2018. However, currently there is no industry that was not affected by the pandemic and no business that did not record a decline in income in the previous months.

Consumption of motor fuels in the region is declining.

• High growth rates at the start of the year mitigated a larger decline triggered by the pandemic on the consumption trend, which resulted in a negative effect on the entire first half of the year.
• Price volatility in the world market.

Negative effects of the pandemic contributed to a significant decline in motor fuel consumption in Serbia.

Accumulation of stocks in the period of falling and low prices partially mitigated the actual consumption decline which will be more clearly visible in autumn.

The motor fuels consumption drop is yet another consequence of the pandemic. After the growth in the first two months, there was a sharp decline in the period from mid-March to June.

Speculative stocks made by certain clients and traders during the period of falling and low prices (predominantly May) have a slightly higher share of imported goods in the structure, which led to a smaller decrease in the share in motor fuel market compared to the first 6 months of the previous year.

NIS retail market share is growing, the growing share in all three segments - diesel, gasoline and LPG - contributes to that.

The same situation is in the retail segment. After growing in the first two months from mid-March to early June due to the pandemic, in the first half of the year the retail recorded a 10% decline compared to the same period last year.

Market Share in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria and Romania

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Zarubezhneft, the majority owner of the Oil Industry of Republika Srpska, considers that this company remains in B&H as an investor and that it seeks to expand its business. It was pointed out that the Brod Oil Refinery employs 676 workers, their monthly salaries being 30% higher than the average salary in the Republika Srpska, that there will be no layoffs and the salary growth trend will continue in the coming period. Emphasis in the business will be put on projects of autonomous gasification of the Brod Refinery, expansion of the network of refuelling stations, construction of solar power plants, gas power plants and hydrogen production.

The terminals of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have opened a newly built terminal of liquid petroleum products in Živinice, which is the beginning of the renewal of mandatory reserves of crude oil and petroleum products. The first phase of works has been completed at the terminal in Živinice, and the storage capacity is about 6 million liters of crude oil and oil products. The terminal should be completed by the end of the year, with a capacity of about 46 million liters.

The Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina passed the Decree on prescribing the measure of direct price control by determining margins in the trade of petroleum products with the envisaged fines of 5,000 to 10,000 BAM with the possibility of imposing measures of confiscation of property gained in murky deals. The Decree determines the existence of conditions for prescribing measures of direct price control in such a way that for wholesalers of petroleum products a maximum wholesale margin of 0.06 BAM per liter of oil products is set, while for retailers of petroleum products a maximum retail margin is set in the amount of 0.25 BAM per liter of oil product.

Due to the coronavirus epidemic and the implementation of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there was a significant decline in fuel consumption and a decrease in retail sales in the first 6 months of this year compared to the same period last year.

NIS in Bosnia and Herzegovina has 35 petrol stations (and 2 petrol stations in DODO mode), and in the second half of the year it is planned to expand the network.

NIS' market share in the total market of motor fuels is 21.7%, while its share in the retail market is 10.0%.

Bulgaria

In the wake of a protracted heated public debate, the Fuel Law was adopted. This document is expected to guarantee market competition, limiting the shadow economy and increasing state budget revenues. The level of minimum capital of wholesale companies is prescribed in the amount of 1% of the company's net income. penalties for refuelling stations and fuel depots are threatened if they sell illegal fuel, and tanks that transport it will be excluded from traffic for a year. Farmers are also subject to sanctions if they trade in fuel without registration for that activity.

Bulgaria's Finance Ministry has proposed the establishment of a "State Oil Company" to optimize reserve management. With a view to increase competition in the market and provide the lowest prices for consumers, the state-owned company will build refuelling stations across the country next year, and they will also enable filling of electric vehicles. Furthermore, licensed storekeepers will not be able to refuse to store fuel from other companies, and it is also envisaged that a state-owned company will have warehouses in which to store fuel for others.

Bulgaria's Commission for Protection of Competition has launched an investigation against the Lukoil refinery in Burgas (Lukoil Neftochim Burgas), suspecting unfair competition allegedly conducted by this company and selling gasoline and diesel to distributors at unreasonably high prices compared to current crude oil prices in the world. The regulator says it will inspect the entire processing, as well as storage, wholesale and retail chain of Lukoil Bulgaria as a whole, as well as all other fuel distribution chains in the country.

25

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

Due to the coronavirus epidemic in Bulgaria, as in all surrounding countries, there was a decline in the turnover of motor fuels and a decline in the turnover on the retail market.

NIS in Bulgaria has 34 petrol stations and a petroleum products warehouse in Kostin Brod. NIS's market share in the total market of motor fuels is 4.7%, while its share in the retail market is 4.2%

Romania

After the reduction of excise duties from January 1, 2020, Romania became the country with the lowest fuel prices in the entire European Union, according to official statistics. The reduction of excise duties by 32 bans (6.5 euro cents per liter) (including VAT) was fully reflected in fuel prices at refuelling stations, the Competitiveness Council concluded, following monitoring conducted by Price Monitoring.

The Association of Oil Companies in Romania, ROPEPCA, announced that one of the priorities this year will be to amend the Oil Exploration Law to allow companies access to land for seismic testing. This initiative was launched after several court decisions in the western part of the country that resulted in the owners of agricultural land included in the oil perimeters not wanting oil companies to have access to their land for seismic testing.

In Romania, during the state of emergency, military decree no. 4 which determines the upper limit of prices of certain products and services during the state of emergency, which includes fuels whose prices can no longer increase above the level on the day of the adoption of this military regulation, but prices can only be reduced. The restrictions were in effect during the state of emergency and were lifted in mid-May, and applied only to retail prices.

In Romania, in the first six months of this year, there was a decline in the turnover of motor fuels and a decline in sales of motor fuels on the retail market due to the coronavirus epidemic and restrictive measures taken to curb the spread of the epidemic.

NIS has 19 petrol stations in Romania. NIS's market share in the total market of motor fuels is 1.1%, while its share in the retail market is 1.4%.

The Exploration and Production Block's pivotal objective in Q2 2020 was to fulfill the hydrocarbon production plan, carry out geological exploration projects, and consistently increase the efficiency of exploration and production.

In the first six months of this year the total production volume of 611.4 thousand t.o.e. was carried out in reservoirs in Serbia, that is, including the concessions of 635.5 thousand t.o.e.

In terms of reservoir geology and development, the emphasis is on maintaining high quality of GTAs and testing new technologies aimed at increasing oil and gas production.

Geological and exploratory works and reservoir development

The company has discovered five new collectors in the northern part of the Kikinda oilfield, which made it possible to schedule drilling of ten new wells.

Repairs and isolation works have been successfully completed in the Velebit, Kikinda, Kikinda Varos, and Kelebija oilfields.

The company has completed workshop testing of the polymer solution for water inflow control. The testing was successful, so the use of the polymer solution was included into the production plan.

As for the project documentation, during the 6 months of 2020 the company has completed the assessment of proven reserves for one reserves estimate, finalized two reserves estimates and is currently working on six more. Nine feasibility studies and seven master field development plans have been prepared.

Exploratory drilling and well testing

The first half of 2020 in the Refining Block was marked by operations in an extremely volatile environment, as a result of the drastic fall in the world oil price and the emergence of the virus corona.

The planned bitumen plant repair was carried out during January 2020. The revision of energy consumption norms was done. The activities of reconciling training books for the DCU complex were carried out.

In February 2020, the emphasis was on cleaning the CO boiler. Activities were undertaken to develop Job Plans for equipment, as well as instructions for operation and maintenance of DCU complex equipment. Equipment manufacturers continued training the operators on the semi-portable coke crane and OTS training. The focus was also on performing pre-commissioning on DCU. A plan for refining crude oil with increased chloride content has been prepared. Activities on electronic shift logs on the test module were carried out, as well as work on translating structural tours of the plant into an electronic module via tablets.

In the period from March to June 2020, the Refining Block focused all its efforts on the adaptation of operations in the climate of low oil prices and ongoing health and safety situation created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

All necessary measures were taken, due to the appearance of the coronavirus, in order to maintain the health and safety situation - maintaining enhanced hygiene, contact with the contractor company was reduced to a minimum, employees were provided with protective equipment with continuous notification to employees of the rules of conduct in the given conditions. In addition, in the aforesaid period, the crises scenario was developed concerning the conduct of operational and investment activities in the Company during the state of emergency and liquidity crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Due to the observed irregularities in the operation of Claus unit, being a part of MHC/DHT complex, the unit shutdown procedure was initiated on 20 April. Following the overhaul of Claus sulphur recovery unit, all process units in the Oil Refinery were started up early in May. Through joint activities of Production Directorate, Technical Directorate, HSE Sector and Naftagas - Technical Services, the overhaul activity was efficiently completed, observing strict procedures and all HSE standards. Furthermore, while working on these units, all coronavirus protection measures were applied. During the Refinery downtime, the market was supplied with all types of petroleum products on a regular basis.

During May 2020, the DCU underwent the activities related to pre-commissioning of the Delayed Coker (S- 5300) and commissioning of the Sour Water Stripper (S-5900)/Amine Regeneration III (S-5950).

In the first half of 2020 the production of petroleum products increased, compared to the first half of 2019 by 35%, as a result of capital overhaul conducted in the first half of 2019.

The Bottom-of-the-barrel Project

Progress of the Bottom-of-the-Barrel Project as at 30 June 2020 is as follows:

• the detailed design was completed and all licences obtained;
• 100% of equipment and material were delivered;
• the prestart-up and start-up activities at the complex are underway;
• we recorded 7 million man hours.

Taking into account the restrictions caused by the pandemic of COVID-19 (entrance of foreign specialists into the country - representatives of equipment suppliers, license owners, delivery of spare parts and materials), active measures are being put in place to minimize delays in pre-commissioning and commissioning operations of the Delayed Coker Unit (DCU project).

Other Projects

Environment is the focus of all business segments of the Refining Block. On January 30, the Government of Serbia adopted an updated text of the National Plan for the Reduction of Major Pollutant Emissions from Old, Large Combustion Plants (NERPs).

Processing plant facilities such as Pancevo Power Plant, Atmospheric Distillation II are included in NERP. In order to reduce pollutant emissions and reach the statutory limit values, a monthly fuel consumption plan was implemented at the Pancevo Refinery in 2019 with an increased share of natural gas use relative to liquid fuel. During the first quarter of 2020, in addition to using natural gas as the predominant fuel, a number of projects are being implemented whose implementation has a significant impact on improving air quality.

Within the scope of the investment activity, the following activities are continued within the projects of the Refining Block:

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

• Reconstruction of the FCC and construction of the new ETBE unit
• Harmonisation of the Jet Fuel System Against JIG 153 Standard Requirements, Reconstruction of the Filtered Water System in RNP for Purposes of the CCPP, Feeding Natural Gas to C-2450
• Reconstruction of FB-2003,FB-0711, and FB-0714.

In the first half of 2020, the focus was also on the activities concerning digitalisation projects. The tender was implemented and the contractor selected for the APC Monitoring Project (APC - Advanced Process Control). The contracting and preparation for the start of implementation are underway. The tender for pilot project Activity Time Monitoring (RTLS - Real Time Location System) was implemented. The Terms of Reference and the procurement strategy for Predictive Maintenance and Real Time Optimizer (Master APC) were developed. The intensive exploration of new possibilities for the application of digital technologies as the permanent task is underway.

In February 2020, Pančevo Oil Refinery hosted the third workshop on gender equality. We attended the opening of the Children's and Preventive Dental Medicine Ward in Pančevo, which was fully refurbished and furnished with advanced equipment with NIS' support, as part of Common Cause - Community Programme.

Other than that, with the active participation of the Refining Block, the "Job shadowing" pilot programme was carried out in early March, which arose out of the specific need to improve the results of cross-sector cooperation.

During this half of the year, the implementation of the third element of the OMS Etalon ''Production Process Control'' continued, being among the priority elements in our company, which comprised the key projects ''Structured Operator Tours'' and ''Shift Handover''. Last year, the methodology, training and application were developed, and currently the advanced tools are being activated - tablets and electronic shift logs.

Loyalty and Marketing Activities Programmes

In the first half of 2020, 50 marketing activities are carried out in Serbia aimed at developing consumer brands, loyalty programs and boosting fuel and non-fuel sales.

Commissioning of new petrol stations was accompanied by POS promotions and special offers for consumers

• equal prices for petroleum products of standard and premium product lines, as well as gifts with every purchase.

On occasion of the start of reconstruction of Novi Sad 16 petrol station, a number of tactical promotions was implemented with a view to retaining consumers of our retail network, referring them to other stations in Novi Sad, as well as offering a discount of or over 3 RSD/l.

The winter diesel campaign was launched with the goal of boosting G-Drive diesel sales in wintertime and communicating the benefits and characteristics of the fuel to consumers.

To compensate for withdrawal of GO on specific petrol stations, premium G-Drive was introduced, retail facilities were rebranded, and marketing materials distributed, and the petrol station employees were familiarised with fuel properties, with a purpose of stimulating sales of premium petroleum products.

In order to improve Gastro segment sales (hot drinks and food) and drive sales of petroleum products through lower retail prices, special promotion was carried out offering fuel discounts for purchases of gastro articles (hot drinks, sandwiches, pastry and desserts) throughout the network.

The beginning of March saw the start of Mastercard instant win promotion: paying the bills in the amount of or over 5,000 dinars with Master or Maestro cards issued by any bank, the clients are entitled to an instant voucher.

At the end of Q1, mobile application Drive.Go was launched. With this new mobile application, customers are able to pay for fuel at refueling point without entering the station; for the first time in Serbia, it is widely available to all clients of NIS Petrol and GAZPROM stations. Besides staying true to the application of innovations and innovative solutions in its operations, by the introduction of this new service in the newly emerging circumstances, NIS enabled its customers to make fast, efficient, and safe payment, without going to the cash register. The second quarter saw continuation of the implementation of Drive.Go application in the retail network.

In an effort to increase the number of "On the road with us" loyalty card users, a campaign was launched to communicate how "On the road with us" loyalty card can be activated without spending additional time at the petrol station. To activate the card, the customers should simply access the "On the road with us" webpage and, following registration, enter the code that they received upon registering their phone number.

In the domain of Private Label, several promotional activities were held at petrol stations with a view to boosting sales and reinforcing brand recognition (equalizing prices of L and М coffee, free Drive Cafe cookie for every purchase of L and М coffee, free coffee of choice for all ladies on International Women's Day).

5 new SCUs were launched: fresh fruit mix (3SCUs), Drive Cafe ice coffee Сaffe latte and Drive Cafe ice coffee Cappuccino.

34

NIS Group

We have also held reactivation activities for "On the road with us" program participants: they were offered bonus point per 1 l for every transaction.

The redeem programmes within the customer retention channel were designed for increasing sales volumes and the share of non-fuel products in the total sales, by offering "Fiksar" (gardening tools set), Vitapur, Capacabana (summer footwear), and spend&get Gianini (collection of dishes).

A new service, "Paketomati", was introduced for our customers within the offer at some petrol stations, where it is possible to have packages and other consignments delivered to the petrol stations, enabling customers to take over their consignments in the period that suits them best and without waiting at the post office.

An image campaign was launched within which two mobile Drive cafe facilities were set up on Ada Ciganlija. This campaign is intended to familiarize the market with our offer and PL products.

Within "Agro Card" program designed for agricultural producers, we carried on with volume-sustaining activities: principal discount with Agro Card (3 dinars for gasoil, 5 dinars for Eurodiesel, G-Drive Diesel and OPTI diesel, 20% for NISOTEC), with a possibility of an additional volume-based discount for one-off fuel purchase with NIS Agro Card. Since 1 January 2020, agricultural producers have been able to purchase LPG household bottles with the discount of 10 RSD/kg with Agro Card.

CCPP Pančevo

Activities have been under way to outfit electricity plants and units with the required mechanical, electricity

and construction equipment, and put into operation connecting pipelines with the Pančevo Refinery

Powerplant, and connect them with the power supply (connecting and distribution unit and overhead powerlines). The power plant equipment is mainly already supplied, some of the units being now in transportation. The key power plan equipment has already been delivered (98.88% complete), commissioning of the plant is in progress (6% complete). The overall implementation status is 88.43%.

The COVID-19 pandemics has a certain effect on the implementation, namely:

• There are not enough personnel on site. There are currently 175 less workers. The contractor's personnel mobilization plan could not be implemented in full as Serbia had implemented lockdown measures and banned foreign citizens from entering the country. Furthermore, according to the government's recommendations the company minimized the presence of employees in the workplace and organized working from home where possible
• Arrival of the commissioning experts has been postponed indefinitely
• Arrival of equipment manufacturer representatives from China and Italy has been postponed indefinitely.

An analysis was conducted and it was determined that due to the factors listed above the Project completion can be expected to be postponed.

CNG - commercial aspect

NIS is currently producing and conducting the wholesale of compressed natural gas extracted from the Ostrovo gas field. Production of gas at the Ostrovo exploitation field is done from four wells of the gas reservoir and, after the compression process, is transported by trailer to the final industrial consumers.

Currently, production at CNG Ostrovo is around 21,000 cm3/day at maximum available pressure. Negotiations with a wholesale buyer are expected to begin in the next period with the aim of extending the Contract on the sale of CNG extracted from the Ostrovo gas reservoir.

Trade of electricity

NIS is present on markets of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania, as well as on the border with Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, North Macedonia and Montenegro. NIS trades on the electricity markets in Serbia (SEEPEX) and Romania (OPCOM). The first phase of implementation of ETRM software has been completed.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the first six months of 2020 was 85% lower than in the same period previous year and amounted to RSD 2.3 billion.

The main reasons for the decrease are:

• The deacrese in EBITDA indicator reflects the drastic fall of oil prices and and petroleum products in the global market and effects of the higher feedstock prices on refining
• The sharp fall in oil prices was partially offset by reducing cost and improving the efficiency of petroleum product sale

The bank debt has increased as the company drew down the most favorable euro loans from the credit portfolio restructuring tender of the first quarter of 2020 in order to pay back the less favorable loans during the second half of the year, and used short-tern dinar loans in order to maintain current liquidity during the state of emergency in the Republic of Serbia. By using part of the loans from the credit portfolio restructuring tender, the company has optimized its credit portfolio and reduced the average portfolio price (without the standard rate) compared to the end of 2019. The portfolio maturity remained stable in the range from 2.5 to 3.4 years.

Besides, the debt to Gazprom neft p.j.s.c. was reduced to the current level of EUR 139.5 million.

Human Resources

Adjusting the company's operations and processes to the new circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemics and the emergency state in the Republic of Serbia was one of the biggest challenges NIS has faced as an employer. The priority was to protect health, safety, and social stability of the employees.

The company managed to preserve business continuity and adapt to the new conditions, taking special care to protect high-risk groups of workers.

One of the first steps the company took after the state of emergency was declared in the country, was to adjust working times and transfer administrative staff to work from home. In addition, the company provided paid leave to employees who are at potential health risk from coronavirus, with a salary compensation of 100 percent of the employee's regular salary.

All employees who got sick with COVID-19 retained full pay during their sick leaves, with the company covering the difference between the standard sick pay (65% of the employee's monthly salary over the last 12 months) and the full amount of regular salary.

During the state of emergency and thereafter, the Company took all efforts to make sure all employees retain their normal pay despite the changed working conditions.

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

Research and Development

In all segments of its business, NIS is dedicated to continuous technological development and introducing innovations into business.

STC NIS-Naftagas LLC Novi Sad, a daughter company fully owned by NIS, provides its parent company with scientific, technical and innovational support in the field of oil and gas exploration and production. The research and development activities within STC NIS-Naftagas have a dual role - coordinating and performing scientific and research work.

Implementation and development of new technologies, scientific and research activities, as well as increasing the efficiency of exploration, production and refining of oil and gas remain in focus of the STC management and employees. It is oriented towards several directions. In the field of geological exploration, STC is implementing a regional project, whose aim is the discovery of hydrocarbons in Paleozoic or intra- Paleozoic rocks, and, in the case of discovery, their efficient production. In the field of exploration and production of oil and gas, we are working on finding the optimal solution for preventing the removal of sand from low-bonded rock collectors, the right choice of polymers for heavy and viscous oil reservoirs in order to increase the coefficient of utilization as well as agents for preventing the formation of chemical deposits on equipment production in wells.To prepare produced crude oil for transport to the refinery, STC is optimizing a demulsifier which will separate the water produced together with oil as quickly as possible and shorten the production process. The laboratory is introducing new methods of testing petroleum products and having them accredited in accordance with EU standards. It is also extensively preparing for the application of completely new methods for testing botom-of-the-barrel products.

Apart from these directions, STC is actively engaged in the development and application of new technologies, including information and communication technologies in its core activity. In this direction, STC has made large steps in the field of improving user software support, database maintenance, implementation and maintenance of a virtual platform. It also provides support and maintains software for processing seismic data, coordinates and leads projects with IT elements, and implements new infrastructural and software solutions in accordance with the Company's core activity.

The realization of these activities was made possible by constant improvement of our employees' expertise and by investment in information technologies, both of which represent key prerequisites for development of NIS j.s.c.

The Company is an open joint stock company, listed on the prime market on the Belgrade Stock Exchange.

These Interim Condensed Financial Statements have been approved and authorized for issue by Chief Executive Officer and will be presented to Board of Directors for approval.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. Basis of preparation

The Company maintains its books and records in accordance with accounting and taxation principles and practices mandated by Serbian legislation. The accompanying Interim Condensed Financial Statements were primarily derived from the Company's statutory books and records with adjustments and reclassifications made to present them in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The Interim Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. IAS 34 for interim financial reporting does not require all disclosures that would be necessarily required by IFRS.

The Company does not disclose information which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in its audited Financial Statements for 2019, such as significant accounting policies, significant estimates and judgements, financial risk disclosures or disclosures of financial line items, which have not changed significantly in amount or composition. Management of the Company believes that the disclosures in these Interim Condensed Financial Statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading if these Interim Condensed Financial Statements are read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements for 2019.

However, the spread of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and the preventive measures which led to decrease in the economic activity of market participants in the first and continued during the second quarter of 2020, as well as significant volatility in the commodity markets (including the decrease in oil prices) while, on the other hand, local currency RSD maintained a relatively stable against the US dollar (USD) and EURO (EUR), since March 2020, have impacted the accounting estimates used by the Company in the Condensed Interim Financial Statements preparation and bear the risk of adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and

79 All amounts are in 000 RSD, unless otherwise stated.

liabilities. Information on the effect of these macroeconomic factors on the estimates with the greatest impact on the amounts reflected in these Condensed Interim Financial Statements is provided below.

Recoverability of carrying amount of Property, Plant and Equipment

In the line with changes of macroeconomic parameters, management of the Company performed stress sensitivity analysis of its impact on recoverability of the Company PPE and overall business performance.

The macroeconomic factors mentioned above were taken into account when preparing business plans (models), which are the main source of information for measuring the value in use of non-current assets, including when preparing oil price dynamics, as well as when determining the discount rate.

Based on the currently available information and crude oil price forecast, management believe that recoverable amount of Company's PPE exceed its carrying value at reporting date (note 10).

Estimation of oil and gas reserves

The estimation of proved reserves of oil and gas reserves is used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets. In addition, the assessment of proved oil and gas reserves is used to calculate future cash flows, which are one of the main indicators of whether an asset is impaired. Oil and gas reserves are estimated based on certain assumptions of the Company, including the economic profitability of production, which is affected by the dynamics of oil prices and future capital and operating expenses. The macroeconomic factors mentioned above may lead to a downward revision of the inventory estimate. The Company intention is to assess the macroeconomic factors impact on the amount of reserves in the next reporting periods.

These macroeconomic factors also affected the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value or amortised cost (note 26).

While this is still an evolving situation at the time of issuing these financial statements and the future effects cannot be predicted, the management expects a negative impact. Management will continue to monitor the potential impact in order to adequately take measure to mitigate impact if the negative trends on the market continue.

Subsequent events occurring after 30 June 2020 were evaluated through 27 July 2020, the date these Interim Condensed Financial Statements were authorised for issue.

The results for the six month period ended 30 June 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

The Company as a whole is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.

2.2. Changes in significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies, judgements and estimates applied while preparing these Interim Condensed Financial Statements are consistent with those applied during the preparation of Financial Statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for those described in the Application of new IFRS paragraph.

EBITDA represents the Company's EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA represents useful means of assessing the performance of the Company's ongoing operating activities, as it reflects the Company's earnings trends without showing the impact of certain charges. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, finance income (expenses) net and other non-operating income (expenses). EBITDA is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure used by management to evaluate operations.

27. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Economic environment in the Republic of Serbia

The Company operates primarily in the Republic of Serbia and is therefore exposed to risks related to the state of the economy and financial markets of the Republic of Serbia. Before the pandemic crisis, the country's credit rating was at BB+ level with stabile national currency rate. The development of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in 2020 and the measures taken in this regard to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection lead to negative economic consequences. The Government of the Republic of Serbia has prepared a set of measures to mitigate these negative impacts through delays in payment of tax liabilities, grants and credit arrangements. The situation in the financial markets is currently stable. This operating environment has a significant impact on the Company's operations and financial position.

The management is taking necessary measures to ensure sustainability of the Company's operations. However, the future effects of the current economic situation are difficult to predict and the management's current expectations and estimates could differ from actual results.

Environmental protection

Based on an internal assessment of compliance with the Republic of Serbia environmental legislation as at the reporting date, the Company's management recognised an environmental provision in the amount of 468,018 RSD (31 December 2019: 488,857 RSD).

NIS Group

The Company's Management believes that cash outflows related to provision will not be significantly higher than the ones already provided for. However, it is possible that these costs will increase significantly in the future, should the legislation become more restrictive.

Taxes

Tax laws are subject to different interpretations and frequent amendments. Tax authorities' interpretation of Tax laws may differ to those made by the Company's management. As result, some transactions may be disputed by tax authorities and the Company may have to pay additional taxes, penalties and interests. Tax liability due date is five years. Tax authorities have rights to determine unpaid liabilities within five years since the transaction date. Management has assessed that the Company has paid all tax liabilities as of 30 June 2020.

Capital commitments

As of 30 June 2020 the Company has entered into contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment for 2,602,699 RSD (31 December 2019: 2,818,801 RSD).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. Basis of preparation

The Group maintains its books and records in accordance with accounting and taxation principles and practices mandated by legislation in the countries in which it operates (primarily Serbian). The accompanying Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were primarily derived from the Group's statutory books and records with adjustments and reclassifications made to present them in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. IAS 34 for interim financial reporting does not require all disclosures that would be necessarily required by IFRS.

The Group does not disclose information which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in its audited Consolidated Financial Statements for 2019, such as significant accounting policies, significant estimates and judgements, financial risk disclosures or disclosures of financial line items, which have not changed significantly in amount or composition. Management of the Group believes that the disclosures in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading if these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are read in conjunction with the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2019.

However, the spread of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and the preventive measures which led to decrease in the economic activity of market participants in the first and continued during the second quarter of 2020, as well as significant volatility in the commodity markets (including the decrease in oil prices) while, on

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

the other hand, local currency RSD maintained a relatively stable against the US dollar (USD) and EURO (EUR)), since March 2020, have impacted the accounting estimates used by the Group in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements preparation and bear the risk of adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Information on the effect of these macroeconomic factors on the estimates with the greatest impact on the amounts reflected in these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements is provided below.

Recoverability of carrying amount of Property, Plant and Equipment

In the line with changes of macroeconomic parameters, management of the Group performed stress sensitivity analysis of its impact on recoverability of the Group PPE and overall business performance.

The macroeconomic factors mentioned above were taken into account when preparing business plans (models), which are the main source of information for measuring the value in use of non-current assets, including when preparing oil price dynamics.

Based on the currently available information and crude oil price forecast obtained from a reputable firms management believe that at reporting date recoverable amount of Group's PPE exceed its carrying value at reporting date (note 10).

Estimation of oil and gas reserves

The estimation of proved reserves of oil and gas reserves is used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets. In addition, the assessment of proved oil and gas reserves is used to calculate future cash flows, which are one of the main indicators of whether an asset is impaired. Oil and gas reserves are estimated based on certain assumptions of the Group, including the economic profitability of production, which is affected by the dynamics of oil prices and future capital and operating expenses. The macroeconomic factors mentioned above may lead to a downward revision of the inventory estimate. The Group intention is to assess the macroeconomic factors impact on the amount of reserves in the next reporting periods.

These macroeconomic factors also affected the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value or amortised cost (note 26).

While this is still an evolving situation at the time of issuing these financial statements and the future effects cannot be predicted, the management expects a negative impact. Management will continue to monitor the potential impact in order to adequately take measure to mitigate impact if the negative trends on the market continue.

Subsequent events occurring after 30 June 2020 were evaluated through 27 July 2020, the date these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issue.

The results for the six month period ended 30 June 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

The Group as a whole is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.

2.2. Changes in significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies, judgements and estimates applied while preparing these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those applied during the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for those described in the Application of new IFRS paragraph.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Presented below is information about the Group's operating segments for the six month periods ended 30 June 2020 and 2019. Operating segments are components that engage in business activities that may earn revenues or incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group manages its operations in 2 operating segments: Upstream and Downstream.

95

Quarterly Report for Second Quarter of 2020

Upstream segment (exploration and production) includes the following Group operations: exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas and oil field services. Downstream segment (refining and marketing) processes crude oil into refined products and purchases, sells and transports crude and refined petroleum products. Corporate centre and Energy business activities are presented within the Downstream segment.

Eliminations and other adjustments section encompasses elimination of inter-segment sales and related unrealised profits, mainly from the sale of crude oil and products, and other adjustments. Intersegment revenues are based upon estimated market prices.

EBITDA represents the Group's EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA represents useful means of assessing the performance of the Group's on-going operating activities, as it reflects the Group's earnings trends without showing the impact of certain charges. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, finance income (expenses) net and other non-operating income (expenses). EBITDA is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure used by management to evaluate operations.

27. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Taxes

Tax laws are subject to different interpretations and frequent amendments. Tax authorities' interpretation of Tax laws may differ to those made by the Group's management. As result, some transactions may be disputed by tax authorities and the Group may have to pay additional taxes, penalties and interests. Tax liability due date is five years. Tax authorities have rights to determine unpaid liabilities within five years since the transaction date. Management has assessed that the Group has paid all tax liabilities as of 30 June 2020.

Economic environment in the Republic of Serbia

The Group operates primarily in the Republic of Serbia and is therefore exposed to risks related to the state of the economy and financial markets of the Republic of Serbia. Before the pandemic crisis, the country's credit rating was at BB+ level with stabile national currency rate. The development of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in 2020 and the measures taken in this regard to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection lead to negative economic consequences. The Government of the Republic of Serbia has prepared a set of measures to mitigate these negative impacts through delays in payment of tax liabilities, grants and credit arrangements. The situation in the financial markets is currently stable. This operating environment has a significant impact on the Group's operations and financial position.

The management is taking necessary measures to ensure sustainability of the Group's operations. However, the future effects of the current economic situation are difficult to predict and the management's current expectations and estimates could differ from actual results.

Environmental protection

Based on an internal assessment of compliance with the Republic of Serbia environmental legislation as at the reporting date, the Group's management recognised an environmental provision in the amount of 488,290 RSD (31 December 2019: 509,129 RSD).

The Group's Management believes that cash outflows related to provision will not be significantly higher than the ones already provided for. However, it is possible that these costs will increase significantly in the future, should the legislation become more restrictive.

Capital commitments

As of 30 June 2020 the Group has entered into contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment 2,597,476 RSD (31 December 2019: 2,809,071 RSD) and drilling and exploration works estimated to 55.85 USD million (31 December 2019: 56.89 USD million).

There were no other material commitments and contingent liabilities of the Group.
