NIS Group

Foreword

In the first quarter of 2021, the NIS Group operated in circumstances of prolonged instability as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, measures implemented to increase operational efficiency and financial discipline at all Company levels, as well as higher oil prices on the global market, together with a slight recovery of oil demand, gave way to financial results that are many times better than those achieved in the first quarter of last year. The average price of Brent crude oil in the period January to March 2021 was 60.9 dollars per barrel, which is 21% more than in the comparable reporting period.

In such circumstances, the net profit generated by NIS Group in the first three months of the current year was 1.5 billion RSD, which is much better than last year's result, when a net loss of 1.1 billion RSD was recorded. EBITDA indicator rose to 9.4 billion RSD, which is 81% more than achieved in the first quarter of 2020. At the same time, NIS continued to implement development projects and invested 4.1 billion RSD in the period from January to March. NIS Group's liabilities for taxes and other public revenues amounted to 44.6 billion RSD, which is a 12% increase from the first quarter of last year.

When it comes to operational indicators, in the first quarter of 2021, the total volume of production amounted to 292 thousand tonnes of oil and oil equivalent, which is an 8% decrease compared to the same period last year. At the same time, NIS continued to develop its assets in Serbia and the region, while Naftagas Naftni servisi, a subsidiary of NIS, successfully implemented a 3D seismic survey project in southeastern Turkey, for the Turkish national oil company Turkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortakligi (TPAO). In the Obudovac region of Republika Srpska, 2D seismic surveys were started.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Pancevo Oil Refinery processed 752 thousand tonnes of oil and semi- finished products, which is 13% lower than in the same period last year. The reduced volume of processing is a consequence of the scheduled downtime in the Refinery in March for implementing investment maintenance projects. The third phase of modernisation of the Refinery began in 2021. Its primary goal is to implement the transition from the technology of the fluid catalytic cracking plant (FCC) to modern INDMAX technology, as well as to build a new ETBE (Ethyl tert-butyl ether) plant, also by introducing new technology.

The total turnover of the NIS Group in the first quarter amounted to 782 thousand tonnes, which is a 0.3% increase from the turnover in the period January to March last year. Also, the modernisation and development of the NIS retail network were continued. The Sjenica 2 petrol station was opened, and the construction of Sokolići 1 petrol station was started, which is scheduled to open this year on the "Miloš Veliki" Expressway. In the first quarter of 2021, the development of the mobile Drive.Go application allowing its users to pay for fuel was continued, and additional functionalities were developed - personalised offers and notifications.

In the field of energy, the construction of TE-TO Pancevo was continued in cooperation with the company "Gazprom energoholding", and its commissioning is expected this year. The speed of implementation of this project is still under a significant impact of the circumstances related to the coronavirus pandemic.

In this reporting period, NIS continued its cooperation with the community it operates in. A new season of student internship program called "NIS Calling" was started, enabling students to get internships in the company. Likewise, the Company endorsed the procurement of equipment for the computer science classroom in the Mathematical Gymnasium in Belgrade, and for the Russian language study room in the Šabac Gymnasium. The Faculty of Electronics in Niš awarded NIS a certificate of appreciation for outstanding contribution to the work and development of that faculty.

Having in mind that the business operations of NIS are continuing amid complex macroeconomic circumstances, its priority for the rest of the year will be to maintain financial discipline and strive to improve systemic efficiency in all areas. These measures, together with the continued implementation of capital projects, will pave the way for further development of NIS for the benefit of its shareholders, employees and the wider community.
