Shares of individual types of expenses in the total expenses of DARS d.d. in 2007
The total expenses of the Company in 2007 amounted to EUR 198,884,469 and increased by 14 percent
in comparison with 2006.
• Labour costs amounted to EUR 27,557,899. In comparison with 2006, these costs increased by 5%,
primarily on account of severance pays and the costs of supplementary pension insurance of employees.
Labour costs accounted for 14 percent of the Company’s total expenses.
• Costs of materials amounted to EUR 9,487,267 and accounted for a 5-percent share in the total expenses
of the Company. In comparison with 2006, costs of materials increased by 27 percent, primarily due to
higher costs of electronic tags. These amounted to EUR 3,132,994 in 2007, which is 93 percent above
the 2006 figure.
• Costs of services excluding concession tax in the amount of EUR 29,264,001 increased by 12 percent in
comparison with 2006. These costs accounted for a 15-percent share in the total expenses. The highest
increase was registered in engineering costs, which increased by EUR 1,929,560 or 13 percent as a
result of the 12-percent increase in completed construction and reconstruction works on motorway
sections (excluding agent compensation and liabilities from borrowings and bonds, and including
financing costs) in comparison with 2006.
• In line with the provisions of the Concession Agreement, the Company paid a total of EUR 122,637,200
in concession taxes to the State on the basis of a granted concession for the exclusive right to manage
and maintain motorways in the Republic of Slovenia. Concession taxes represented 61% of the total
expenses, and exceeded the 2006 figure by 19 percent. This was primarily due to the fact that the
growth of tolls collected was higher than planned, and due to the inclusion of additional revenue in the
calculation of concession tax.
