The Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to propose to the shareholders of the Company to re-appoint Dr. Jonathan Kolodny as an external director (Dahatz) of the Company.

Dr. Kolodny serves as an external director (Dahatz) of the Company and his term of office expires on May 5, 2021. The Israeli Companies Law allows the re-appointment of an existing external director (Dahatz) for three terms of three years (except in cases in which regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law allow the appointment of an existing external director (Dahatz) for additional terms under certain conditions).

  The Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved and recommended to the shareholders at the AGM to approve, the re-appointment of Dr. Jonathan Kolodny as an external director (Dahatz) for a second term of three years, commencing on May 3, 2021. Our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors noted Dr. Jonathan Kolodny's professional expertise, business knowledge and unique experience along with accounting and financial expertise. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors determined that due to Dr. Kolodny's unique expertise and contribution to the work of the Board of Directors and its committees, re-electing Dr. Kolodny to another term as an external director is in the best interest of the Company. The directors noted that Dr. Kolodny’s independence is apparent from his actions and the views he expresses in meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees. Dr. Kolodny’s financial expertise is apparent in his forward looking comprehension of the financial challenges that the Company faced and his long term vision of the challenges that the Company has yet to face. His deep understanding of the Company's activities together with his financial and strategic expertise are a significant contribution to the Company's performance. Dr. Jonathan Kolodny was determined by the Board of Directors to have "professional qualifications" to serve as an external director under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder. Dr. Kolodny also qualifies as an independent director according to the Israeli Companies Law and in accordance with US law.

The Board of Directors has determined that the board should include at least three directors who are “accounting and financial experts” under the Israeli Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder. Dr. Kolodny was determined by the Board of Directors to be one of these “accounting and financial experts”. Dr. Kolodny also qualifies as an independent director according to U.S. law and Israeli law.

In compliance with the Israeli Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association, the EGM approved the compensation terms for the current directors and those that will serve from time to time, including external directors and independent directors (excluding the Chairman of the Board of Directors who is entitled to separate compensation terms as resolved by the EGM), which includes an annual fee, an attendance fee, reimbursement of of Reasonable Expenses, benefit from the D&O insurance policy, and Indemnification and Release Letter (the "Compensation Terms").

The Compensation Terms of Dr. Jonathan Kolodny are in accordance with those that were approved by the EGM.

  It is proposed that at the AGM the following resolutions be adopted:

(i) “RESOLVED: to re-appoint Dr. Jonathan Kolodny as an external director (Dahatz) of the Company for an additional term of three years in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, commencing on May 3, 2021; and

(ii) RESOLVED: this resolution is in the best interest of the Company.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Partner communications company Ltd.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Partner Communications Company Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).  We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020   in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15b.  Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A - 3

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment – Fixed line segment

As described in Notes 4(3) and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance in respect of the fixed line segment was NIS 407 million as of December 31, 2020. Management conducts an impairment test at each year end, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the carrying amount of the relevant cash-generating unit to its recoverable amount, including goodwill. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded that due to negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic on revenues, a triggering event existed for the fixed line segment as of March 31, 2020 therefore it performed a goodwill impairment test as of that date as well. The recoverable amount of the fixed-line segment to which the goodwill has been allocated was estimated by management using a discounted cash flow model. Management’s cash flow projections for the Fixed line segment included significant judgments and assumptions relating to the cash flow projections, the terminal growth rate, and the discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the fixed line segment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management whendeveloping the value-in-use measurement of the fixed line segment; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to cash flows projections, terminal growth rate and discount rate; (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.These procedures included obtaining an understanding, evaluating the design and testing the effectiveness of controls over the Company's goodwill impairment review process including controls over managements review of the significant assumptions described above. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; comparing projected cash flows to the Company's historical cash flows; evaluating the significant assumptions used by management related to the projected cash flows, terminal growth rates and discount rate; assessing the historical accuracy of managements estimates; performing sensitivity analyses and reviewing the changes of the Company's regulatory environment and  consumers' market. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and the discount rate assumption.

NOTE 1 -   GENERAL

 a.      Reporting entity

Partner Communications Company Ltd. ("the Company", "Partner") is a leading Israeli provider of telecommunications services (cellular, fixed-line telephony, internet and television services) under the Partner brand, and cellular services also under the 012 Mobile brand. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Israel and its principal executive office’s address is 8 Amal Street, Afeq Industrial Park, Rosh-Ha'ayin 48103, Israel. The Company's business and non-current assets are concentrated in Israel.

The Company's share capital consists of ordinary shares, which are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. ("TASE") under the symbol "PTNR". American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each representing one of the Company’s ordinary shares, are quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market™, under the symbol "PTNR". See also note 21(a).

Regarding the Company's principal shareholder and holdings of approved Israeli shareholders in the Company, see note 26.

These consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2020, are comprised of the Company and its subsidiaries and consolidated partnerships (the "Group"). See the list of subsidiaries and consolidated partnerships and principles of consolidation in note 2(c)(1). See also 2(c)(2) with respect to investment in PHI.

The coronavirus ("COVID-19") crisis began to have a harmful effect on the Company's business from the beginning of March 2020, due in particular to the significant fall in the volume of international travel by the Company's customers which caused a very significant decrease in revenues from roaming services. In addition the closure of shopping malls for limited periods during 2020 and changes in general consumer behavior negatively affected the volume of sales of equipment, and the increase in the number of people working from home caused increases in internet traffic and in demand for customer services.

As of the date of approval of these financial statements, revenues from roaming services continue to be significantly restrained by the COVID-19 crisis.

The Company reviewed the effect of the COVID-19 crisis on its critical accounting estimates and judgments as of December 31, 2020 as follows:

(1) Expected credit losses – see note 7(b).

(2) Impairment tests - see note 13(2).

(3) Other critical accounting estimates and judgments: the Company reviewed its other critical accounting estimates and judgments and determined that they were not materially affected, see note 4.

            b.      Operating segments

The operating segments were determined based on the reports reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, and therefore is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), and supported by budget and business plans structure, different regulations and licenses (see (c) below). The CEO considers the business from two operating segments, as follows (see also note 5):

        (1)           Cellular segment:

Services in the cellular segment include basic cellular telephony services, text messaging, internet browsing and data transfer, content services, roaming services, M2M and IOT services, handset repair services, cellular content and value-added services, and services provided to other operators that use the Company's cellular network. The two payment methods offered to our customers are pre-paid and post-paid. Pre-paid services are offered to customers that purchase credit in advance of service use. Post-paid services are offered to customers with bank and credit arrangements. Most of the cellular tariff plans are bundles which include unlimited volumes of calls time and text messaging (with fair use limits), as well as limited data packages. Cellular content and value-added services offered include multimedia messaging, cyber protection, cloud backup, ringtones, and a range of advanced business services. International roaming services abroad for the Company’s customers include airtime calls, text messaging and data services on networks with which the Company has a commercial roaming relationship. Partner also provides inbound roaming services to the customers of foreign operators with which the Company has a commercial roaming relationship.

Optional services such as equipment extended warranty plans and international calling plans are also provided for an additional monthly charge or included in specific tariff plans. The Company also provide cellular phone repair services forour customers and for independent merchants.

In addition, the cellular segment includes wholesale cellular services provided to virtual operators who use the Partner cellular network to provide services to their customers.

            (2)            Fixed-line segment

Services in the fixed-line segment include: (a) Internet services that provide access to the internet through both fiber-optics and wholesale broadband access, internet services provider (“ISP”) services; internet Value Added Services (“VAS”) such as cyber protection, anti-virus and anti-spam filtering; and fixed-line voice communication services provided through Voice Over Broadband (“VOB”); (b) Business solutions including Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) voice trunks and Network Termination Point Services (“NTP”) – under which the Group supplies, installs, operates and maintains endpoint network equipment and solutions, including providing and installing equipment and cabling within a subscriber's place of business or premises, hosting services, transmission services, Primary Rate Interface (“PRI”) and other fixed-line communications solution services; (c) International Long Distance services (“ILD”): outgoing and incoming international telephony, hubbing, roaming and signaling and calling card services; (d) Television services over the Internet (“TV”).

The cellular segment and the fixed-line segment also include sales and leasing of telecommunications, audio visual and related devices: mainly cellular handsets, tablets (handheld computers), laptops, landline phones, modems, datacards, domestic routers, servers and related equipment, integration project hardware and a variety of digital audio visual devices and small household appliances including smart watches, car dashboard cameras, televisions, digital cameras, games consoles, audio accessories and other devices.

Each segment is divided into services and equipment revenues, and the related cost of revenues. The operating segments include the following measures: revenues, cost of revenues, operating profit and segment Adjusted EBITDA (see note 5(2)). The CODM does not examine assets or liabilities for the segments separately for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and they are not therefore presented in note 5 segment information.

            c.      Group license

The Group operates under the following licenses that were received from the Israeli Ministry of Communications ("MOC") and from the Israeli Civil Administration ("CA"):

	Type of services	Area of service	License owner	Granted by	License valid through	Guarantees made (NIS millions)
(1)	Cellular	Israel	Partner Communications Company Ltd.	MOC	Feb, 2022	21*
(2)	Cellular	West Bank	Partner Communications Company Ltd.	CA	Feb, 2022	4

(6)	Fixed (incl. ISP, ILD, NTP)	Israel	Partner Land-line Communication Solutions - Limited Partnership	MOC	Jan, 2027	2
(7)	Fixed (incl. ISP, ILD, NTP)	West Bank	Partner Land-line Communication Solutions - Limited Partnership	CA	Jan, 2027	0.25

* Including guarantees of NIS 16 million with respect to the frequencies tender, see note 17(1).

The Group also has a trade license that regulates issues of servicing and trading of equipment, and a number of encryption licenses that permits dealing with means of encryption within the framework of providing radio telephone services to the public.

With respect to license (1) , the license was amended on September 29, 2020 (amendment number 107), whereby the Company is entitled to request an extension of the license for additional periods of ten years instead of six years, at the discretion of the MOC and CA. Should the licenses not be renewed, the new license-holder is obliged to purchase the communications network and all the rights and obligations of the subscribers for a fair price, as agreed between the parties or as determined by an arbitrator. For a renewal the MOC is to consider, among other things: if the Company has met the regulatory requirements, provided improved and technology updated services, Company's actions did not harm or restrict competition, is able to continue provide quality service and make the investments required for it, and made efficient use of its cellular frequencies.

The Company made in 2019 an annual examination of the estimated useful life of the license. Based on Company's judgment described above, the Company expects that the license will be renewed at a high level of certainty: the Company estimated in 2019 that based on its experience and acquaintance with the communications market in Israel, if current conditions continue, there was a high probability that the license would be extended for the additional term of 6 years. Following this examination, the estimated useful life of the 2G and 3G frequencies was re-evaluated in 2019 for an additional period of 6 years, thereby ending on February 1, 2028.

Upon the abovementioned license amendment on September 29, 2020, and with respect to the high probability judgment that remained the same, the estimated life of the 2G and 3G frequencies were increased for an additional period of 4 years, thereby ending on February 1, 2032. See also note 2(f) for additional information with respect to the change in accounting estimate.

License (2) follows license (1). The other licenses may be extended for various periods, at the discretion of the MOC or CA, respectively.

See also note 17(5) as to additional guarantees made to third parties.

NOTE 2 -   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

b. Foreign currency translations

(1) Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are measured and presented in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"), which is the Group's functional and presentation currency as it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. The amounts presented in NIS millions are rounded to the nearest NIS million.

(2) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into NIS using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement in finance costs, net.

(3) Convenience translation into U.S. Dollars (USD or $ or dollar)

The NIS figures at December 31, 2020 and for the period then ended have been translated into dollars using the representative exchange rate of the dollar at December 31, 2020 (USD 1 = NIS 3.215). The translation was made solely for convenience, is supplementary information, and is distinguished from the financial statements. The translated dollar figures should not be construed as a representation that the Israeli currency amounts actually represent, or could be converted into, dollars.

c. Interests in other entities

(1) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power over the investee; has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement in the investee; and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. Subsidiaries and partnerships are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company.

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of a subsidiary are shown separately in the consolidated statements of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.

c.   Interests in other entities (continued)

(2) Investment in PHI

In November 2013, the Company and Hot Mobile Ltd. entered into a network sharing agreement ("NSA") and a right of use agreement. Pursuant to the NSA, the parties created a 50-50 limited partnership - P.H.I. Networks (2015) Limited Partnership ("PHI"), which operates and develops a radio access network shared by both parties, starting with a pooling of both parties' radio access network infrastructures creating a single shared pooled radio access network. PHI began its operations in July 2015, managing the networks.

Through December 31, 2018 the Company did not control PHI nor did it have joint control over it. The investment in PHI was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment was initially recognized at cost, and adjusted thereafter to recognize the investor’s share of the post-establishment profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

From January 1, 2019 following a change in the governance of PHI the Company accounts for PHI as a joint operation. Therefore, the Company recognizes its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of PHI and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. See also note 9.

d. Inventories

Inventories of equipment: cellular handsets and fixed telephones, tablets, laptops, datacards, servers, spare parts, ISP modems, related equipment, accessories and other inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the "first-in, first-out" basis. The Group determines its allowance for inventory obsolescence and slow moving inventory based upon past experience, expected inventory turnover, inventory ageing and current and future expectations with respect to product offerings.

e. Property and equipment

Property and equipment are initially stated at cost.

Costs are included in the assets' carrying amounts or recognized as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance that do not meet the above criteria are charged to the statement of income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and until December 31, 2018, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. From January 1, 2019 the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located are included in the lease-right of use asset under IFRS16, see note 2(o).

Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.

Property and equipment is presented less accumulated depreciation, and accumulated impairment losses. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see (i)). The useful economic lives of the Group's non-financial assets are reviewed annually, see note 4(1).

e. Property and equipment (continued)

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

	years
Communications network:
Physical layer and infrastructure	10 - 25 (mainly 15, 10)
Other Communication network	3 - 15  (mainly 5, 10, 15)
Computers, software and hardware for
information systems	3-10 (mainly 3-5)
Office furniture and equipment	7-15
Optic fibers and related assets	7-25 (mainly 25)
Subscribers equipment and installations	2 - 5
Property	25

Leasehold improvements are depreciated by the straight-line method over the term of the lease (including reasonably assured option periods), or the estimated useful life (between 5 to 10 years) of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

f. Licenses and other intangible assets

(1) Licenses costs and amortization (see also note 1(c)):

(a) The licenses to operate cellular communication services were recognized at cost. Borrowing costs which served to finance the license fee - incurred until the commencement of utilization of the license - were capitalized to cost of the license.

(b) Partner Land-line Communication solutions – limited partnership's license for providing fixed-line communication services is stated at cost.

The other licenses of the Group were received with no significant costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 -    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

f. Licenses and other intangible assets (continued)

Changes in an accounting estimate:

Management has updated an accounting estimate in 2019 as follows: The estimated useful life of the cellular license was determined in the past to end by February 1, 2022. According to applicable law existed in 2019, the Company's cellular license could be extended for additional 6-year periods, subject to the requirements set in the license.

The MOC published a tender during 2019 for the award of frequencies, including frequencies for 5G services. Following the tender published, Management made an annual examination of the estimated useful life of the license in the fourth quarter of 2019 with the expectation that conditions necessary to obtain renewal of the license will be satisfied and that the cost of renewal will not be significant. The tender includes 2x30 MHz in the 700 MHz Band, 2x60 MHz in the 2,600MHz band and 300 MHz in the 3,500-3,800 MHz band. The frequencies in the 700 MHz band were offered for a period of 15 years and the rest of the frequencies offered in the tender were offered for a period of 10 years. See also note 17 (1) for the results of the frequencies tender.

Based on Company's judgment described above, the Company expected in 2019 that the license would be renewed at a high level of certainty: the Company estimated in 2019 that based on its experience and acquaintance with the communications market in Israel, if current conditions continue, there is a high probability that the license will be extended for the additional term of 6 years. Following this examination, the estimated useful life of the 2G and 3G frequencies was re-evaluated for an additional period of 6 years, thereby ending on February 1, 2028. The effect of these changes on the consolidated financial statements were as follows: the amortization expenses of the cellular license were reduced by NIS 15 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, by NIS 60 million in 2020, and were expected to be reduced in 2021 by approximately NIS 60 million.

On September 29, 2020 the Company's cellular license was amended (amendment number 107), whereby the Company is entitled to request an extension of the license for additional periods of ten years instead of six years, at the discretion of the MOC and CA. See information with respect to the extension provisions in note 1 (c). On receipt of the license amendment, and with respect to the high probability judgment that remained the same, the estimated life of the 2G and 3G frequencies were re-valuated for an additional period of 4 years, thereby ending on February 1, 2032. The effect of these changes on the consolidated financial statements (in addition to the 2019 abovementioned change in estimate) were as follows: the amortization expenses of the cellular license were reduced in the fourth quarter of 2020 by NIS 2 million, and are expected to be reduced by an annual amount of approximately NIS 8 million 2021. See also note 4(1).

The other licenses are amortized by the straight-line method over their useful lives (see note 1(c)) which exclude any ungranted possible future extensions that are not under the Group's control.

The amortization expenses are included in the cost of revenues.

f.       Licenses and other intangible assets (continued)

(2) Computer software:

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and to bring to use the specified software.

Development costs, including employee costs, that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognized as intangible assets when the capitalization criteria under IAS 38 are met. Other development expenditures that do not meet the capitalization criteria, such as software maintenance, are recognized as expenses as incurred.

Computer software costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (3 to 10 years) using the straight-line method, see also note 11.

(3) Customer relationships:

The Company has recognized as intangible assets customer relationships that were acquired in a business combination and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Customer relationships are amortized to selling and marketing expenses over their estimated useful economic lives (5 to 10 years) based on the straight line method.

(4) Capitalization of costs to obtaining customers contracts:

Costs of obtaining contracts with customers are recognized as assets when the costs are incremental to obtaining the contracts, and it is probable that the Group will recover these costs. The assets are amortized to selling and marketing expenses in accordance with the expected service period (mainly over 2-3 years), using the portfolio approach, see also notes 4(1) and 11. Other costs incurred that would arise regardless of whether a contract with a customer was obtained are recognized as an expense when incurred.

g. Deferred expenses - Right Of Use (ROU)

Right of use (ROU) of international fiber optic cables was acquired in a business combination, subsequent additions and right of use in PHI's assets are recognized at cost. The ROU with respect of fiber optic cables is presented as deferred expenses (current and non-current) and is amortized to cost of revenues on a straight line basis over a period beginning each acquisition of additional ROU in this framework and until 2030 (including expected contractual extension periods). See also notes 12 and 17(4). Until December 31, 2018 other costs of right to use PHI's assets are presented as deferred expenses and amortized on a straight line basis over the assets' useful lives, see note 9.

h. Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, and identifiable liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed. The goodwill has an indefinite useful economic life and is not subject to amortization; rather is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a group of cash-generating units (CGUs) under the fixed line segment that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The group of CGUs represents the lowest level within the entity which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Any impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeded its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of value-in-use and the fair value less costs to sell. Value-in-use is determined by discounting expected future cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed. See also note 13(1) with respect to impairment tests.

A - 22

PARTNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY LTD.

(An Israeli Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

i. Impairment tests of non-financial assets with finite useful economic lives

Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such indications exist an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. Value-in-use is determined by discounting expected future cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate.

An impairment loss recognized for an asset (or CGU) other than goodwill shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's (or CGU's) recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) shall be increased to its recoverable amount. The increased carrying amount of an asset (or CGU) other than goodwill attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of income.

j. Financial instruments

The Group applies IFRS 9 and classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: (1) amortized cost (AC), (2) at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL: Financial liability at fair value (see note 15) and embedded derivatives). The classification depends on the business model for managing the financial instruments and the contractual terms of the cash flows. See note 6(c) as to classification of financial instruments to the categories.

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Financial assets are classified as current if they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period; otherwise they are classified as non-current.

Financial liabilities are included in current liabilities, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current liabilities. See also note 15.

(1) FVTPL category:

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of embedded derivative financial instruments and financial liability at fair value are presented in the income statement within "finance costs, net" in the period in which they arise. These financial instruments are classified into 3 levels based on their valuation method (see also notes 6(c), 6(a)(2)(c)):

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for financial liability at fair value.

(2)    Amortized cost category:

The Group classifies its financial assets, such as trade receivables, at amortized cost only if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and (2) the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from trade receivables is included in the income statement under other income, net (see note 23) using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in finance income/expense together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment expenses (credit losses) are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, which include short-term bank deposits (up to 3 months from date of deposit) that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use.

Short term deposits, are deposits in commercial banks for periods of more than 3 months from date of deposit and less than 12 months from the reporting date.

Long term deposits, are deposits in commercial banks for periods of more than 12 months from the reporting date.

NOTE 2 -   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

   j.      Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets at amortized cost are presented net of impairment losses:

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired based on the expected credit loss model. The assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model are mainly the trade receivables. While cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term deposits and contract assets are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.  For trade receivables and contract assets the Group applies IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and period of payments and period past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales, and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

Financial liabilities, such as borrowings and notes payable, are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the fair value (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Offsetting:

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when the Group has currently a legal enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and has an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legal enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.

k. Employee benefits

  (i) Post-employment benefits

1. Defined contribution plan

According to Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law the Group's liability for some of the employee rights upon retirement is covered by regular contributions to various pension schemes. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds. These plans are defined contribution plans, since the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate and independent entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contribution if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefit relating to employee service in the current or prior periods. The amounts funded as above are not reflected in the statement of financial position. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense in the statement of income when they are due.

2.      Defined benefit plan

Labor laws, agreements and the practice of the Group, require paying retirement benefits to employees dismissed or retiring in certain other circumstances (except for those described in 1 above), measured by multiplying the years of employment by the last monthly salary of the employee (i.e. one monthly salary for each year of tenure), the obligation of the Group to pay retirement benefits is treated as a defined benefit plan.

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of the defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at end of the reporting period less the fair values of plan assets.

The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. According to IAS 19 employee benefits, the present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of deep market for high-quality corporate bonds.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equityin other comprehensive incomein the period in which they arise. Interest costs in respect of the defined benefit planare charged or credited to finance costs. See also note 16.

k.      Employee benefits (continued)

 (ii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably legally or constructively committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.

 (iii) Short term employee benefits

1.  Vacation and recreation benefits

The employees are legally entitled to vacation and recreation benefits, both computed on an annual basis. This entitlement is based on the term of employment. This obligation is treated as a short term benefit under IAS 19. The Group charges a liability and expense due to vacation and recreation pay, based on the benefits that have been accumulated for each employee, on an undiscounted basis.

2.   Profit-sharing and bonus plans

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses based on consideration of individual performance and the Group's overall performance. The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

3.   Other short term benefits

The Group recognized expenses for other short term benefits provided by the collective employment agreement (see also note 22(e)).

l. Share based payments

The Group operates an equity-settled share-based compensation plan to its employees, under which the Group receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the equity instruments is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, at the grant date. Non-market vesting conditions are included among the assumptions used to estimate the number of options expected to vest. The total expense is recognized during the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions of the share-based payment are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest based on the vesting conditions, and recognizes the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the statement of income, with corresponding adjustment to accumulated earnings.

m. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will require settling the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. See note 14.

(1) In the ordinary course of business, the Group is involved in a number of lawsuits and litigations. The costs that may result from these lawsuits are only accrued for when it is probable that a liability, resulting from past events, will be incurred and the amount of that liability can be quantified or estimated within a reasonable range. The amount of the provisions recorded is based on a case-by-case assessment of the risk level, and events arising during the course of legal proceedings that may require a reassessment of this risk, and where applicable discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The Group's assessment of risk is based both on the advice of legal counsel and on the Group's estimate of the probable settlements amount that are expected to be incurred, if any. See also note 20.

(2) The Company is required to incur certain costs in respect of a liability to dismantle and remove assets and to restore sites on which the assets were located. The dismantling costs are calculated according to best estimate of future expected payments discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as finance costs.

(3) Provisions for equipment warranties include obligations to customers in respect of equipment sold. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in a settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

n. Revenues

The revenue recognition standard IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and its clarifications ("IFRS 15", "The Standard") outlines a single comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The model includes five steps for analyzing transactions so as to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount:

1) Identifying the contract with the customer.

2) Identifying separate performance obligations in the contract.

3) Determining the transaction price.

4) Allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations.

5) Recognizing revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.

(1) Identifying the contract with the customer

Two or more contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same customer (or related parties of the customer) are accounted for as a single contract if one or more of the following criteria are met:

a. The contracts are negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective;

b. The amount of consideration to be paid in one contract depends on the price or performance of the other contract;

c. The goods or services promised in the contracts (or some goods or services promised in each of the contracts) are a single performance obligation.

Additions of distinct goods or services at their stand-alone sale price are treated as separate contracts. 

(2) Identifying performance obligations

The Group assesses the goods or services promised in the contract with the customer and identifies as performance obligation any promise to transfer to the customer one of the following:

(a) Goods or services (or a bundle of goods or services) that are distinct; or

(b) A series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

Goods or services are identified as being distinct when the customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the Group’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.  An option that grants the customer the right to purchase additional goods or services constitutes a separate performance obligation in the contract only if the options grant the customer a material right it would not have received without the original contract.

The performance obligations are mainly services, equipment and options to purchase additional goods or services that provide a material right to the customer.

PARTNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY LTD.

NOTE 2 -   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

   n.      Revenues (continued)

(3) Determining the transaction price

The transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive for the transfer of the goods or services specified in a contract with the customer, taking into account rebates and discounts, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as value added taxes.

The transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of the time value of money if the contract includes a significant financing component (such as sales of equipment with non-current credit arrangements, mainly in 36 monthly installments). The Group applies a practical expedient in the standard and does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the Group expects the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services to be one year or less. The financing component is recognized in other income-net over the period which is calculated according to the effective interest method. See also note 23 – unwinding of trade receivables and note 7(a).

(4) Allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations

In a transaction that constitutes a revenue arrangement with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations based of their relative stand-alone selling prices.

A discount is allocated to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract if (a) the Group  regularly sells each distinct good or service (or each bundle of distinct goods or services) in the contract on a stand-alone basis, (b) the Group  also regularly sells on a stand-alone basis a bundle (or bundles) of some of those distinct goods or services at a discount to the stand-alone selling prices of the goods or services in each bundle; and (c) the discount attributable to each bundle in 'b' above is substantially the same as the discount in the contract and an analysis of the goods or services in each bundle provides observable evidence of the performance obligation (or performance obligations) to which the entire discount in the contract belongs.

(5) Satisfaction of performance obligations

The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations by transferring control over the goods or services to the customers.

Revenues from services and from providing rights to use the Group's assets, (see note 1(b)) (either month-by-month or long term arrangements) are recognized over time, as the services are rendered to the customers, since the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously, and provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Revenue from sale of equipment (see note 1(b)) is recognized at a point of time when the control over the equipment is transferred to the customer (mainly upon delivery) and all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

   n.      Revenues (continued)

(6) Principal – Agent consideration

The Group determines whether it is acting as a principal or as an agent for each performance obligation. The Group is acting as a principal if it controls a promised good or service before they are transferred to a customer. Indicators for acting as a principal include: (1) the Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, (2) the Group has inventory risk in the specified good or service and (3) the Group has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. On the other hand, the Group is acting as an agent or an intermediary, if these criteria are not met. When the Group is acting as an agent, revenue is recognized in the amount of any fee or commission to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the other party to provide its goods or services. A Group’s fee or commission might be the net amount of consideration that the Group retains after paying the other party the consideration received in exchange for the goods or services to be provided by that party. The Group determined that it is acting as an agent in respect of certain content services provided by third parties to customers; therefore the revenues recognized from these services are presented on a net basis in the statement of income.

(7) Recognition of receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognized when the control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer, and at the amount that is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Therefore they are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. See also note 7 and also note 6(a)(3) regarding trade receivables credit risk.

(8) Recognition of contract assets and contract liabilities

A contract asset is a Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customerwhen that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time (for example, the Group’s future performance).

A contract liability is a Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customerfor which the entity has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer; therefore the Group records contract liabilities for payments received in advance for services, such as transmission services and pre-paid calling cards, as deferred revenues until such related services are provided.

Contract assets and contract liabilities arising from the same contract are offset and presented as a single asset or liability.

n.    Revenues (continued)

(9) Other practical expedients implemented:

The Group applies IFRS 15 practical expedient to the revenue model to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics if the Group reasonably expects that the financial statement effects of applying the model to the individual contracts within the portfolio would not differ materially.

The Group applies a practical expedient in the standard and measures progress toward completing satisfaction of a performance obligation and recognizes revenue based on billed amounts if the Group has a right to invoice a customer at an amount that corresponds directly with its performance to date; for which, or where the original expected duration of the contract is one year or less,  the Group also applies the practical expedient in the standard and does not disclose the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, performance obligations, such as constrained variable consideration.

The Group applies in certain circumstances where the customer has a material right to acquire future goods or services and those goods or services are similar to the original goods or services in the contract and are provided in accordance with the same terms of the original contract, a practical alternative to estimating the stand-alone selling price of the customer option, and instead allocates the transaction price to the optional goods or services by reference to the goods or services expected to be provided and the corresponding expected consideration.

(10) Capitalization of contract costs

The main effect of the Group’s application of IFRS 15 is the accounting treatment for the incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers, which in accordance with IFRS 15, are recognized as assets under certain conditions, see notes 2(f)(4), 11. Contract costs that were recognized as assets are presented in the statements of cash flows as part of cash flows used in investing activities.

o. Leases

Group as lessee:

Through December 31, 2018 the Group applied IAS 17 to account for leases whereby a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were retained by the lessor were classified as operating leases. Therefore the Group's leases were primarily operating leases which were charged to income statements on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including extending options which were reasonably certain.

The Group applied IFRS 16 Leases from its mandatory adoption date January 1, 2019. The Group applied the simplified transition approach and did not restate comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption. Right-of-use assets for certain property leases were measured on transition as if the new rules had always been applied. All other right-of-use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability on adoption (adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease expenses, dismantling and restoring obligations). The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognized in the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2019.

On adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, the Group recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ and corresponding right-of-use assets. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019.

The Group applied the following practical expedients:

• Non-lease components: practical expedient by class of underlying asset not to separate non-lease components (services) from lease components and, instead, account for each lease component and any associated non lease components as a single lease component.

• Discount rate: The lease payments are discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, since the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. However, the Group is using the practical expedient of accounting together a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics provided that it is reasonably expected that the effects on the financial statements of applying this standard to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this Standard to the individual leases within that portfolio. And using a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics (such as leases with a similar remaining lease term for a similar class of underlying asset in a similar economic environment). The discount rates were estimated by management with the assistance of an independent external expert.

• Low-value leases: The low-value leases practical expedient is applied and these leases are recognized on a straight-line basis as expense in profit or loss.

The practical expedient for short-term leases is not applied.

     o.      Leases (continued)

Group as lessee (continued):

Lease liabilities measurement:

Lease liabilities were initially measured on a present value basis of the following lease payments:

• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate (such as CPI)

• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees

• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option

• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option, and

• lease payments (principal and interest) to be made under reasonably certain extension options

The lease liability is subsequently measured according to the effective interest method, with interest costs recognized in the statement of income as incurred. The amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The Group is exposed to potential future changes in lease payments based on linkage to the CPI index, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are presented in the statement of cash flows under the cash used in financing activities. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets measurement:

Right-of-use assets were measured at cost comprising the following:

• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

• any initial direct costs (except for initial application), and

• restoration costs

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term (including reasonably certain extension periods) on a straight-line basis, and adjusted for any remeasurements of lease liabilities. As of the adoption date of IFRS 16, the average remaining amortization period is as follows: Cell sites 4.5 years, buildings 6 years, vehicles 2 years. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment, see note 2(i).

Group as lessor:

The cellular segment and the fixed-line segment also include leasing of telecommunications, audio visual and related devices (see note 1(b)). Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature. The Group did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor as a result of adopting IFRS 16.

p. Tax expenses

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as of the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between that tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are presented as non-current, see also note 25. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

q. Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Company's shares acquired by the Company (treasury shares) are presented as a reduction of equity, at the consideration paid, including any incremental attributable costs, net of tax. Treasury shares do not have a right to receive dividends or to vote. See also note 21(a).

r. Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume exercise of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The instruments that are potential dilutive ordinary shares are equity instruments granted to employees, see note 21(b). A calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options (see also note 27).

s. Government grants

Government grants relating to the purchase of assets (see note 17, in respect of the frequencies tender) are presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction to the carrying amount of the asset and they are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

NOTE 3 –   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 (1)   The following relevant new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations have been issued, and were effective for the first time for financial periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020:

Definition of Material - Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 to align the definition of ‘material'. The new definition states that, ’Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. The new definition is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The application of the new definition did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions – amendments to IFRS 16

In May 2020, the IASB amended IFRS 16 Leases which provides lessees with an option to treat qualifying rent concessions in the same way as they would if they were not lease modifications. This resulted in accounting for concessions received in an immaterial amount as variable lease payments in the period in which they are granted. The expedient was applied to all qualifying rent concessions.

(2)   The following new standards are not effective in 2020

Classifying liabilities as current or non-current

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendment to IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify: the definition of a right to defer a settlement, that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period, that classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right, that only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. At this stage the Company cannot evaluate the effect of the amendment on the financial statements.

NOTE 4 –  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

 (1)   Assessing the useful lives of non-financial assets:

The useful economic lives of the Group's property and equipment are an estimate determined by management. The Group defines useful economic life of its assets in terms of the assets' expected utility to the Group. This estimation is based on assumptions of future changes in technology or changes in the Group's intended use of these assets, experience of the Group with similar assets, and legal or contract periods where relevant.

The useful economic lives of the Group's intangible assets are an estimate determined by management based on assumptions of future changes in technology, legal rights, experience of customer's behavior, and experience of the Group with similar assets where relevant.

The assets estimated economic useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least annually.  See also note 2(e) and note 2(f).

Change in accounting estimate:

The Company expected in 2019 that the license would be renewed at a high level of certainty: the Company estimated in 2019 that based on its experience and acquaintance with the communications market in Israel, if current conditions continue, there is a high probability that the license will be extended for the additional term of 6 years. Following this examination, the estimated useful life of the 2G and 3G frequencies was re-evaluated for an additional period of 6 years, thereby ending on February 1, 2028. The effect of these changes on the consolidated financial statements were as follows: the amortization expenses of the cellular license were reduced by NIS 15 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, by NIS 60 million in 2020, and are expected to be reduced in 2021 by approximately NIS 60 million.

On September 29, 2020 the Company's cellular license was amended (amendment number 107), whereby the Company is entitled to request an extension of the license for additional periods of ten years instead of six years, at the discretion of the MOC and CA. See information with respect to the extension provisions in note 1 (c). On receipt of the license amendment, and with respect to the high probability judgment that remained the same, the estimated life of the 2G and 3G frequencies were re-valuated for an additional period of 4 years, thereby ending on February 1, 2032. The effect of these changes on the consolidated financial statements (in addition to the 2019 abovementioned change in estimate) were as follows: the amortization expenses of the cellular license were reduced in the fourth quarter of 2020 by NIS 2 million, and are expected to be reduced by an annual amount of approximately NIS 8 million in 2021.

NOTE 4 –  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)

(2)   Assessing the recoverable amount for impairment tests of non-financial assets :

The Group is required to determine at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If indicators for impairment are identified the Group estimates the assets' recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The value-in-use calculations require management to make estimates of the projected future cash flows. Determining the estimates of the future cash flows is based on management past experience and best estimate for the economic conditions that will exist over the remaining useful economic life of the Cash Generating Unit (CGU). See also notes 2(i), 13.

The economic slowdown in the markets triggered in March 2020 the identification of indicators for impairment of non-financial assets. In particular, the significant fall in the volume of international travel by the Company's customers has caused a significant decrease in revenues from roaming services, which affected the cellular segment. In addition, the temporary closures of shopping malls and changes in general consumer behavior adversely affected the volume of sales of equipment, which affected the cellular and the fixed-line segments.

The Company tested the recoverable amount of the fixed line segment as of March 31, 2020, based on value-in-use calculations. The recoverable amount was assessed by management with the assistance of an external independent expert (BDO Ziv Haft Consulting & Management Ltd.). The value-in-use calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period to be generated from continuing use are extrapolated using estimated growth rates. The terminal growth rate represents the long-term average growth rate of the fixed-line communications services business. The key assumptions used are as follows:

	March 31, 2020
Terminal growth rate	1.0%
After-tax discount rate	8.25%
Pre-tax discount rate	9.9%

As a result of the impairment test, the Group determined that no impairment existed as of March 31, 2020.

The Company tested as of March 2020 the impairment of the cellular segment assets with the assistance of an external independent expert (BDO Ziv Haft Consulting & Management Ltd.), using a reasonable approximation of its fair value less costs of selling as its recoverable amount, and determined that no impairment was required. No other adverse changes have been identified since March 2020 with the continuation of the crisis and therefore the Company determined that no impairment indicators existed in respect of the cellular segment assets as of December 31, 2020.

Trends in the economic and financial environment, competition and regulatory authorities' decisions, or changes in competitors’ behavior in response to the economic environment may affect the estimate of recoverable amounts in future periods. See also note 2(i).

Continued increases in the level of competition for cellular and fixed-line services may bring further downward pressure on prices which may require us to perform further impairment tests of our assets. Such impairment tests may lead to recording additional significant impairment charges, which could have a material negative impact on our operating and profit.

 (3)   Assessing the recoverable amount for impairment tests of goodwill:

Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The recoverable amount of the fixed-line segment to which goodwill has been allocated has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. For the purpose of the goodwill impairment tests as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 the recoverable amount was assessed by management with the assistance of external independent experts (BDO Ziv Haft Consulting & Management Ltd.) based on value-in-use calculations. The value-in-use calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period to be generated from continuing use are extrapolated using estimated growth rates. The terminal growth rate represents the long-term average growth rate of the fixed-line communications services business.

The key assumptions used in the December 31, 2020 test were as follows:

Terminal growth rate	1.0	%
After-tax discount rate	7.5	%
Pre-tax discount rate	9.0	%

The impairment test as of December 31, 2020 was based on assessments of financial performance and future strategies in light of current and expected market and economic conditions. Trends in the economic and financial environment, competition and regulatory authorities' decisions, or changes in competitors’ behavior in response to the economic environment may affect the estimate of recoverable amounts. See also note 13(1) and note 2(h). No impairment charges were recognized with respect to goodwill in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Sensitivity Analysis:

The headroom of the fixed line segment recoverable amount over the carrying amount as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 was approximately 21%, 42% and 37% respectively.

Sensitivity analysis was performed for the recoverable amount as of December 31, 2020 for a change of the after-tax discount rate within the range of ± 10% multiplied by the variable 7.5% (6.75% to 8.25%), assuming all other variables constant. Sensitivity analysis was also performed for a change of the terminal growth rate within the range of ± 1% of the variable 1.0% (0% to 2%), assuming all other variables constant. Results showed that no impairment charge is required for both analyses.

(4) Assessing impairment of financial assets:

The allowance for credit losses for financial assets is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.  Individual receivables which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. The other receivables are assessed collectively, grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.  For trade receivables and contract assets with and without significant financing components, the Group applies IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and period past due.  The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales, and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. See notes 7, 6(a)(3), 2(j).

(5) Considering the likelihood of contingent losses and quantifying possible legal settlements:

Provisions are recorded when a loss is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Judgment is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim or litigation against the Group will succeed, or a liability will arise, quantifying the best estimate of final settlement. These judgments are made by management with the support of internal specialists, or with the support of outside consultants such as legal counsel. Because of the inherent uncertainties in this evaluation process, actual results may be different from these estimates. See notes 2(m), 14 and 20.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA as reviewed by the CODM represents Earnings before Interest (finance costs, net), Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (including amortization of intangible assets, deferred expenses-right of use and impairment charges) and Other expenses (mainly amortization of share based compensation). Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under IFRS and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of the Group's historic operating results nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The usage of the term "Adjusted EBITDA" is to highlight the fact that the Amortization includes amortization of deferred expenses – right of use and amortization of employee share based compensation and impairment charges.

NOTE 6 –  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

a. Financial risk factors

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit, liquidity and market risks as part of its normal course of business. The Group's risk management objective is to monitor risks and minimize the possible influence that results from this exposure, according to its evaluations and expectations of the parameters that affect the risks. The Group did not enter into hedging transactions in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

1. Risk Management

Risk management is carried out by the financial division under policies and/or directions resolved and approved by the audit committee and the board of directors.

2. Market risks

(a) Description of market risks

Cash flow risk due to interest rate changes and CPI changes

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the Israeli Consumer Price index (CPI). See also note 19.

Furthermore, the Group's notes payable bearing variable interest rate cause cash flow risks. Based on simulations performed, an increase (decrease) of 1% interest rates during 2020 in respect of the abovementioned financial instruments would have resulted in an annual increase (decrease) in interest expenses of NIS 2 million.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group's operating profit and cash flows are exposed to currency risk, mainly due to trade receivables and trade payables denominated in USD.

3.   Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's trade receivables, from cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term deposits and other receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group conducts credit evaluations on receivables of certain types over a certain amount, and requires collaterals against them. The impairment requirements are based on an expected credit loss model. Accordingly, the financial statements include appropriate allowances for expected credit losses. See also note 2(j)(2).

The face amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure, see note 6(c).

The cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term deposits are held in leading Israeli commercial banks, rated by Standard & Poor's Maalot at ilAAA/stable.

Deposits at December 31, 2020 are deposited with remaining maturity of 1 to 18 months and bear annual unlinked fixed interest of between 0.4% and 0.6%.

The trade receivables are significantly widespread, and include individuals and businesses, and therefore have no representing credit rating.

See also note 7 as to the assessment by aging of the trade receivables and related allowance for credit losses.

4. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. The Group's policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet expected operational expenses and financial obligations.

c. Fair values of financial instruments

As detailed in note 2(j) the financial instruments are categorized as following:

Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL); Amortized Cost (AC). See also note 15 in respect of borrowings and notes payable and note 7 with respect to trade receivables.

The financial instrument that is categorized as FVTPL is a financial liability at fair value. Its fair value is calculated by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using forward rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. All significant inputs in this technique are observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates, see also note 6(a)(2)(c).

There were no transfers between fair value levels during the year.

Allowance for credit losses resulting from services provided under operating lease are not separately disclosed due to immateriality.

The estimate for expected credit losses from customers was considered using forward-looking information (including macro-economic information). Forward-looking information included additional downside scenarios related to the spread of COVID-19: considering increased risk of credit to customers in certain industries most harmed by the slowdown. A general increased provision was recorded in respect of the population as a whole, and a second provision was recorded in the amount of the expected loss based on an average of the impact of the different scenarios assumed. As a result the company increased its provision for expected credit losses in an immaterial amount.

NOTE 9 –   INVESTMENT IN PHI

Network sharing agreement and right of use

On November 8, 2013 the Company and Hot Mobile Ltd. ("Hot Mobile") (together: "the Parties") entered into a 15-year network sharing agreement (“NSA”), which was approved by the Antitrust Commissioner , subject to certain conditions, and by the Ministry of Communications. Pursuant to the NSA, the Parties created a 50-50 limited partnership - P.H.I. Networks (2015) Limited Partnership (hereinafter "PHI"), which operates and develops a radio access network shared by the Parties, starting with a pooling of the Parties radio access network infrastructures creating a single shared pooled radio access network (the "Shared Network"). The Parties also established a 50-50 company limited by shares under the name Net 4 P.H.I Ltd., to be the general partner of the limited partnership.

In February 2016, HOT Mobile exercised its option under the NSA to advance the payment date of a onetime amount of NIS 250 million ("Lump Sum"), which was received by the Group in 2016. Therefore in accordance the NSA from April 2016 onward (i) each party bears half of the expenditures relating to the Shared Network, and (ii) the bearing of the operating costs of the Shared Network is according to a pre-determined mechanism, according to which one half of the operating costs is shared equally by the Parties, and one half is divided between the Parties according to the relative volume of traffic consumption of each party in the Shared Network (the "Capex-Opex Mechanism"). The Lump Sum is treated by the Group as payments for rights of use of the Group's network and therefore recognized as deferred revenue which is amortized to revenues in the income statement over a period of eight years, which is determined to be the shorter of the expected period of the arrangement or the expected life of the related assets, see note 22(a).

The NSA term will be automatically extended for consecutive terms of five years each, unless either party provided the other party with prior notice of at least two years prior to the commencement of the respective extended term. At any time after the eighth anniversary of the NSA's effective date (i.e. following April  2023), either party may provide the other party with two years termination notice, and terminate the NSA, without cause, effective as of the end of the said two-year period. On the expiry of the NSA, other than following a material breach, the Parties shall divide the network between themselves according to a mechanism provided by the NSA, based on the Parties then-respective interests in PHI, with priority that each party shall first receive its own assets.

The Company provided a guarantee to PHI's debt in an amount of NIS 50 million.

NOTE 9 – INVESTMENT IN PHI (continued)

Change in PHI's governance

At the beginning of January 2019 an amendment to the NSA agreement between the Company and Hot Mobile was signed and communicated to the MoC and Anti-trust regulator which, among other things, cancelled the position of the independent director who acted as a chairman, and no consideration was transferred between the Parties in relation to this matter. The amendment did not change ownership shares, nor the CAPEX-OPEX mechanism described above. As a result of the amendment the control over PHI thereafter is borne 50-50 by the Company and Hot Mobile, each nominates an equal number of directors (3 directors). Since, thereafter, decisions about the relevant activities of PHI require the unanimous consent of the Parties, PHI is considered a joint arrangement controlled by the Company and Hot Mobile (joint control).

The activities of the joint arrangement are primarily designed for the provision of output to the Parties. The joint arrangement terms give the Parties rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities and expenses of PHI. Furthermore the Parties have rights to substantially all of the economic benefits of PHI's assets. PHI's liabilities are in substance satisfied by the cash flows received from the Parties, as the Parties are substantially the source of cash flows contributing to the continuity of the operations of PHI. Starting January 1, 2019 the Company accounts for its rights in the assets of PHI and obligations for the liabilities and expenses of PHI as a joint operation, recognizing its share in the assets, liabilities, and expenses of PHI, instead of the equity method. Starting January 1, 2019 payments with respect to rights to use PHI's fixed assets (see note 2(g)) are presented in the statement of cash flows as cash used in investing activities instead of cash payments for deferred expenses used in operating activities.

The following table presents the Company's share (50%) in PHI's statement of financial position items that are consolidated to the financial statements as the Company’s share in a joint operation:

NOTE 13 – IMPAIRMENT TESTS

(1) Annual goodwill impairment tests in the fixed-line segment

Goodwill in the fixed-line segment is allocated to a single group of CGUs which constitute all the operations of the fixed-line segment, in an amount of NIS 407 million.

For the purpose of the goodwill impairment tests in the fixed-line segment as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 the recoverable amount was assessed by management with the assistance of an external independent expert (BDO Ziv Haft Consulting & Management Ltd.) based on value-in-use calculations. The value-in-use calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period to be generated from continuing use are extrapolated using estimated growth rates. The terminal growth rate represents the long-term average growth rate of the fixed-line communications services business. The key assumptions used are as follows:

	As of December 31,
	2018			2019			2020
Terminal growth rate		1.0	%		1.0	%		1.0	%
After-tax discount rate		9.5	%		8	%		7.5	%
Pre-tax discount rate		11.5	%		9.6	%		9.0	%

The impairment tests in the fixed-line segment as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were based on assessments of financial performance and future strategies in light of current and expected market and economic conditions. Trends in the economic and financial environment, competition and regulatory authorities' decisions, or changes in competitors’ behavior in response to the economic environment may affect the estimate of recoverable amounts. As a result of the impairment tests, the Group determined that no goodwill impairment existed as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. See also note 4(3) and note 2(h).

(2) Interim impairment tests of non-financial assets

The economic slowdown in the markets triggered in March 2020 the identification of indicators for impairment of non-financial assets. In particular, the significant fall in the volume of international travel by the Company's customers has caused a significant decrease in revenues from roaming services, which affected the cellular segment. In addition, the temporary closures of shopping malls and changes in general consumer behavior adversely affected the volume of sales of equipment, which affected the cellular and the fixed-line segments.

The Company tested the recoverable amount of the fixed line segment as of March 31, 2020, based on value-in-use calculations. The recoverable amount was assessed by management with the assistance of an external independent expert (BDO Ziv Haft Consulting & Management Ltd.). The value-in-use calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period to be generated from continuing use are extrapolated using estimated growth rates. The terminal growth rate represents the long-term average growth rate of the fixed-line communications services business. The key assumptions used are as follows:

	March 31, 2020
Terminal growth rate		1.0	%
After-tax discount rate		8.25	%
Pre-tax discount rate		9.9	%

As a result of the impairment test, the Group determined that no impairment existed as of March 31, 2020.

(2)   Interim impairment tests of non-financial assets (continued)

The Company tested as of March 2020 the impairment of the cellular segment assets with the assistance of an external independent expert (BDO Ziv Haft Consulting & Management Ltd.), using a reasonable approximation of its fair value less costs of selling as its recoverable amount, and determined that no impairment was required. No other adverse changes have been identified since March 2020 with the continuation of the crisis and therefore the Company determined that no impairment indicators existed in respect of the cellular segment assets as of December 31, 2020.

NOTE 16 - LIABILITY FOR EMPLOYEE RIGHTS UPON RETIREMENT

Israeli labor laws and agreements require payment of severance pay upon dismissal of an employee or upon termination of employment in certain other circumstances. See also note 2(k).

 (1) Defined contribution plan

The Group had contributed NIS 20 million, NIS 23 million and NIS 25 million for the years 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively, in accordance with Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law. See also note 2(k)(i)(1).

 (2) Defined benefit plan

 Liability for employee rights upon retirement, net is presented as non-current liability.

The amounts recognized in the statement of financial position, in respect of a defined benefit plan (see note 2(k)(i)(2)) and changes during the year in the obligation recognized for post-employment defined benefit plans were as follows:

	New Israeli Shekels in millions
	Present value of obligation			Fair value of plan assets			Total

The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

	December 31
	2019			2020
Interest rate weighted average		2.33	%		2.12	%
Inflation rate weighted average		1.49	%		0.97	%
Expected turnover rate		9%-56	%		9%-56	%
Future salary increases		1%-6	%		1%-6	%

The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the principal assumptions is:

	December 31, 2020
	NIS in millions
	Increase of 10% of the assumption			Decrease of 10% of the assumption
Interest rate		(0.7	)		0.5
Expected turnover rate		0.1			(0.1	)
Future salary increases		0.5			(0.5	)

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method has been applied as when calculating the pension liability recognized within the statement of financial position. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

The defined benefit plan exposes the Group to a number of risks, the most significant are asset volatility, and a risk that salary increases will be higher than expected in the actuarial calculations. The assets are invested in provident funds, managed by managing companies and are subject to laws and regulations, and supervision (including investment portfolio) of the Capital Markets, Insurance and Saving Division of the Israeli Ministry of Finance.

Expected maturity analysis of undiscounted defined benefits as at December 31, 2020:

	NIS in millions
2021		23
2022		22
2023		13
2024 and 2025		21

The rental payments are linked to the Israeli CPI.

The Group also leases call centers, retail stores and service centers. The leases for each site have different lengths and specific terms. The lease agreements are for periods of two to ten years. The Group has options to extend some lease contract periods for up to twenty years (including the original lease periods). Substantially all of the rental payments are linked to the Israeli CPI and a few are linked to the dollar. Some of the extension options include an increase of the lease payment in a range of 2%-10%.

(2) Cell sites: Lease agreements in respect of cell sites and switching stations throughout Israel are for periods of two to ten years.

With respect to one additional claim, the court approved a settlement agreement which was fully implemented by the Company:

On April 3, 2012, a claim and a motion to certify the claim as a class action were filed against Partner. The claim alleges that Partner breached its license conditions in connection with benefits provided to customers that purchased handsets from third parties.

In addition to all the above mentioned claims the Group is a party to various claims arising in the ordinary course of its operations.

B. Contingencies in respect of building and planning procedures

Section 197 of the Building and Planning Law states that a property owner has the right to be compensated by a local planning committee for reductions in property value as a result of a new building plan.

In January 2006, the Non-ionizing Radiation Law was published, amending the Planning and Building Law so that local Planning and Building committees must require indemnification letters against reduction in property value from the cellular operators requesting building permits.

Accordingly, on January 3, 2006, the National Council for Planning and Building published an interim decision conditioning the issuance of building permits for cell site permits by local planning and building councils upon provision of a 100% indemnification undertaking by the cellular operators. This decision shall remain in effect until it is replaced with an amendment to the National Zoning Plan 36. Between January 3, 2006 and December 31, 2020 the Company provided the local authorities with 444 indemnification letters as a pre-condition for obtaining building permits.

In case the Company shall be required to make substantial payments under the indemnity letters, it could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial results.

According to the company’s management estimation and based on its legal counsel, a provision in the financial statement was not included.

The Company assumes that the requirement to provide indemnification letters might require it to change locations of sites to different, less suitable locations and to dismantle some of its sites. These changes in the deployment of the sites might have an adverse effect on the extent, quality and capacity of the network coverage.

C. Investigation by the Israeli Tax Authority

The Israeli Tax Authority is conducting an investigation that involves document collection and the questioning of among others, several Company employees, both past and current. The investigation is seeking to determine whether there have been violations of the Eilat Free Trade Zone (Tax Exemptions and Reductions) - 1985 Law regarding the sale of cellular phones in the city of Eilat. The Company is fully cooperating with the Israeli Tax Authority. At this stage, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of the investigation on the Company, its results and its condition, if any.

NOTE 21 – EQUITY AND SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

a. Share capital:

The Company's share capital consists of ordinary shares, which are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. under the symbol "PTNR", and are quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market™, in the form of American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each representing one of the Company’s ordinary shares, under the symbol "PTNR", according to the dual listing regulations. The ADSs are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). Citibank, N.A. serves as the Company's depository for ADSs. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled vote in the general meetings of shareholders and to receive dividends as declared.

Under the provisions of the Company's licenses (note 1(c)), restrictions are placed on transfer of the Company's shares and placing liens thereon. The restrictions include the requirement of advance written consent of the Minister of Communications be received prior to transfer of 10% or more of the Company's shares to a third party. Nevertheless, under certain licenses granted, directly or indirectly, to the Company, a notice to, the Minister of Communications may be required for holding any means of control in the Company. The Company's license also restricts cross-ownership and cross-control among competing mobile telephone operators, including the ownership of 5% or more of the means of control of both the Company and a competing operator, without the consent of the Minister of Communications, which may limit certain persons from acquiring our shares. See also note 26 (d) with respect of holdings of approved Israeli shareholders in the Company.

Through December 31, 2008 the Company purchased its own 4,467,990 shares at the cost of NIS 351 million, and during 2018 the Company purchased its own 6,501,588 shares at the cost of NIS 100 million (upon repurchase were recorded as "treasury shares"). In accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, the treasury shares are considered dormant shares as long as they are held by the Company, and as such they do not bear any rights (including the right to vote in general meetings of shareholders and to receive dividends) until they are transferred to a third party. Some of the treasury shares were offered to employees under a share based compensation plan: Company's Equity Incentive Plan as restricted shares awards ("RSAs") (see (b) below).

As of December 31, 2020 a total of 7,741,784 treasury shares remained, of which 1,008,735 were allocated to a trustee on behalf of the employees under the plan. The RSAs offered under the plan are under the control of the Company until vested under the plan and therefore are not presented in the financial statements as outstanding shares until vested.

In January 2020, the Company issued 19,330,183 shares of the Company to institutional investors, following a tender under a shelf offering, and by way of a private placement. The total net consideration received was approximately NIS 276 million. The offering expenses totaled NIS 10 million.

It includes allocation of restricted shares ("RSAs") to the Company's employees and officers and determines the right to vote at the general meetings of shareholders and the right to receive dividends distributed with respect to the restricted shares. The committee may set performance targets as a vesting criterion (independently or in combination with other criteria).

The total number of Company's shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of all options or upon the earning of the restricted shares granted under the Plan is 26,917,000, of which 9,076,270 remained ungranted as of December 31, 2020. The vesting of the options and the earning of the restricted shares are subject to vesting/restriction periods. The vesting of the options and the earning of the restricted shares are also subject to performance conditions set by the Company's organs. The Company expects that the performance conditions will be met. The Plan's principal terms of the options include:

- Exercise price adjustment: The exercise price of options shall be reduced in the following events: (1) dividend distribution other than in the ordinary course: by the gross dividend amount so distributed per share, and (2) dividend distribution in the ordinary course: the exercise price shall be reduced the gross dividend amount so distributed per share ("Full Dividend Mechanism"), depending on the date of granting of the options.

- Cashless exercise: Most of the options may be exercised only through a cashless exercise procedure, while holders of other options may choose between cashless exercise and the regular option exercise procedure. In accordance with such cashless exercise, the option holder would receive from the Company, without payment of the exercise price, only the number of shares whose aggregate market value equals the economic gain which the option holder would have realized by selling all the shares purchased at their market price, net of the option exercise price.

c. Principal shareholder: S.B. Israel Telecom, an affiliate of Saban Capital Group LLC, a private investment firm, based in Los Angeles, California, specializing in the media, entertainment and communications industries, is the registered owner of the shares in the Company’s share register. On November 11, 2019, S.B. Israel Telecom filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D with the SEC stating that it had no sole or shared voting or dispositive power over any shares of the Company, and that as a result of the Receiver Appointment (as defined in the filed amendment), as of November 12, 2019, the Reporting Persons (as defined in the filed amendment) ceased to beneficially own any ordinary shares of the Company. On November 12, 2019, the District Court of Tel Aviv ("the Court") issued a court order ("the Court Order") under which attorney Ehud Sol (the “Receiver") was appointed as receiver for 49,862,800 of the Company's shares, representing as of March 1, 2021, approximately 27.12% of our issued and outstanding share capital and the largest block of shares held by a single shareholder. The shares (the “Pledged Shares”) had been purchased by S.B. Israel Telecom Ltd. ("S.B. Israel Telecom") from Advent Investments Pte Ltd (“Advent”) in 2013; in connection with the purchase, S.B. Israel Telecom assumed certain debt owed to Advent, and agreed that such debt would be secured by, among other things, the Pledged Shares. S.B. Israel Telecom defaulted on the payment, and on November 11, 2019, consented to enforcement and foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Pledged Shares.

A - 85

PARTNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY LTD.

(An Israeli Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 26 - TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES WITH RELATED PARTIES (continued)

The Court Order was issued due to an application filed by Advent ("Advent's Application") and granted the Receiver substantial rights related to the Pledged Shares, including the right to participate in our shareholders’ meetings, to vote the Pledged Shares, to receive dividends, and any contractual right related to the Pledged Shares, although as noted below, the Receiver may not sell or transfer the Pledged Shares without the Court’s approval.  Without derogating from those rights of the Receiver, S.B. Israel Telecom remains the holder of legal title to the Pledged Shares. On December 9, 2019, the Ministry of Communications granted, within its powers, a permit to the Receiver to exercise means of control of the Company by himself. As a result, the Receiver has the power to substantially influence the nomination of the Company’s Board of Directors and to play a preponderant if not decisive role in other decisions taken at meetings of our shareholders. The Receiver is expected to hold such rights until the Pledged Shares are sold or transferred to Advent, actions that would require the Court’s approval according to the Court Order and Advent's Application. S.B. Israel Telecom has agreed that it would not raise an objection to such a transfer to Advent if it occurs within 9 months of November 11, 2019, the date of its consent; On December 9, 2020, Advent submitted an application to exercise means of control of the Company, but to the best of the Company's knowledge, such application has not yet been answered. The Receiver is to exercise the rights associated with the Pledged Shares based on its judgment and subject to the Court’s orders and approvals. The Receiver is not obligated to exercise such rights in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders.

d.     Holdings of approved Israeli shareholders in the Company: The provisions of the Company's cellular license require, among others, that the "founding shareholders or their approved substitutes", as defined in the cellular license, hold at least 26% of the means of control in the Company, including 5% which must be held by Israeli shareholders (Israeli citizens and residents), who were approved as such by the Minister of Communications. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the controlling stake of the Phoenix Group (one of the Company’s approved Israeli shareholders) has been sold to foreign entities. On November 12, 2019, the Israeli Ministry of Communications issued a temporary order (which ended on November 1, 2020) (the “Temporary Order”) amending the Company’s cellular license and reducing the percentage that the approved Israeli entities are required to hold (from 5% to 3.82% of the means of control in the Company). On July 7, 2020, the MoC published an amendment to the Company's cellular license which provides that the license terms applicable to Israeli shareholders may be replaced by an order issued by virtue of the Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 1982. Since the regulatory procedure allowing the above-mentioned license amendment to take place was still ongoing at the time, on October 26, 2020, the Israeli Ministry of Communications extended the term of the Temporary Order (ending on March 1, 2021). This temporary order allowed the Ministry and the Company sufficient time in which to resolve the issue of holdings of approved Israeli shareholders in the Company. During February 2021, the regulatory procedure allowing the above-mentioned license amendment to take place has been completed.

Results of Consolidated Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2019

Composition of revenues and cost of revenues

	New Israeli Shekels
	Year ended December 31,
	2019		2020
	In millions
Service revenues		2,560		2,508
Equipment revenues		674		681
Total revenues		3,234		3,189
Cost of revenues – Services		2,177		2,128
Cost of revenues – Equipment		530		536
Total Cost of revenues		2,707		2,664

Total revenues. In 2020, total revenues were NIS 3,189 million (US$ 992 million), a decrease of 1% from NIS 3,234 million in 2019.

Revenues from services. Service revenues in 2020 totaled NIS 2,508 million (US$ 780 million), a decrease of 2% from NIS 2,560 million in 2019.

Revenues from equipment. Equipment revenues in 2020 totaled NIS 681 million (US$ 212 million), an increase of 1% from NIS 674 million in 2019, principally reflecting significant increases in sales of cellular equipment to wholesale customers and of fixed-line equipment for both business and private customers.  These increases in sales were partially offset by lower volumes of retail sales of cellular equipment following the closure of some sales points during certain COVID-19-related lockdown periods during the year.

Gross profit from service revenues. The gross profit from service revenues in 2020 was NIS 380 million (US$ 118 million), compared with NIS 383 million in 2019, a decrease of 1%. This decrease largely reflected the negative impact of the COVID-19 on revenues from roaming services, which was partially offset by the positive contribution from the growth in internet and TV services. In addition, the decrease in revenues was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses, the cost-cutting measures taken to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, and the receipt in 2020 of a government-mandated refund from Bezeq of approximately NIS 20 million of payments for access to the wholesale internet infrastructure in previous years. See also note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

B - 2

Gross profit from equipment sales. Gross profit from equipment sales in 2020 was NIS 145 million (US$ 45 million), compared with NIS 144 million in 2019, an increase of 1%. The increase mainly reflected an increase in gross profit from sales of fixed-line equipment, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit from sales of cellular equipment.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses and credit losses.  Selling, marketing, general and administrative expensesand credit losses totaled NIS 459 million (US$ 142 million) in 2020, a decrease of 2% compared with NIS 468 million in 2019. This decrease mainly reflected the cost-cutting measures on workforce expenses,  whose effect was partially offset by an increase in amortization expenses related to the costs of obtaining contracts with customers under IFRS 15 and an immaterial increase in credit losses reflecting an increase in the provision for expected credit losses as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

Total operating expenses ("OPEX"). Total operating expenses amounted to NIS 1,871 million (US$ 582 million) in 2020, a decrease of 1%, or NIS 14 million, from 2019 (OPEX is not a financial measure under IFRS and not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures for other companies. It includes cost of service revenues (NIS 2,128 million in 2020) and selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses and credit losses (NIS 459 million in 2020), and excludes depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses and other expenses (mainly amortization of employee share-based compensation) (NIS 716 million in 2020)).  The decrease mainly reflected a decrease in workforce and related expenses as part of the cost-cutting measures taken to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on revenues, and a decrease in wholesale internet infrastructure access expenses following receipt of a government-mandated refund from Bezeq of approximately NIS 20 million of payments for access to the wholesale internet infrastructure in previous years and a decrease in international calling services expenses. The decreases in these expenses were partially offet by increases in interconnect expenses due to the significant increase in outgoing call volumes related to the COVID-19 crisis. See also Items 5A.2a and 5A.2b for a breakdown of total operating expenses by segment.

Including depreciation, amortization and other expenses (mainly amortization of employee share-based compensation), total operating expenses in 2020 amounted to NIS 2,587 million (US$ 805 million), a decrease of 2%, or NIS 58 million, compared with NIS 2,645 million in 2019. See also note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Other income, net. Other income, net, totaled NIS 30 million (US$ 9 million) in 2020, an increase of 7% compared with NIS 28 million in 2019. See also note 23 to our consolidated financial statements.

Operating profit. Operating profit for 2020 was NIS 96 million (US$ 30 million), an increase of 10% compared with operating profit of NIS 87 million in 2019. The increase in operating profit mainly reflected the decrease in operating expenses including depreciation and amortization expenses, which more than offset the decrease in service revenues.

Finance costs, net. Finance costs, net in 2020 were NIS 69 million (US$ 22 million), an increase of 1% compared with NIS 68 million in 2019. The increase mainly reflected the one-time expense of approximately NIS 7 million relating to the partial early repayment of the Company’s Notes Series F during the year, partially offset by a decrease in lease interest and an increase in interest from cash and deposits. See also “Item 5B Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

B - 3

Profit before income tax. Profit before income taxes for 2020 was NIS 27 million (US$ 8 million), an increase of 42% compared with NIS 19 million in 2019, reflecting the increase in operating profit.

Income taxes on profit. The Company recorded income tax expenses of NIS 10 million (US$ 3 million) for 2020, compared with no income tax expenses for 2019.

In 2019, the Company recorded a one-time income of NIS 6 million in income tax expenses.

The effective tax rate of the Company was 37% in 2020 compared with 0% in 2019, and compared with the regular corporate tax rate in Israel of 23% for 2019 and 2020, largely as a result of non-deductible expenses and the one-time factor in 2019 described immediately above.

Excluding the one-time factor in 2019, the effective tax rate of the Company in 2019 would have been 32%.

The Company’s effective tax rate is expected to continue to be higher than the general Israeli corporate tax rate (excluding one-time effects) mainly due to nondeductible expenses.See also note 25 to our consolidated financial statements.

Profit. Profit in 2020 was NIS 17 million (US$ 5 million), a decrease of 11% compared with NIS 19 million in 2019. Based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during 2020, basic earnings per share or ADS was NIS 0.09 (US$ 0.03), compared with NIS 0.12 in 2019.

For information regarding potential downward impacts on profits in 2021, see “Item 5D.2 Outlook.”

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA in 2020 totaled NIS 822 million (US$ 256 million), a decrease of 4% or NIS 31 million from NIS 853 million in 2019. As a percentage of total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA in 2020 was 26% unchanged from 2019.

Results of Operation By Segment For The Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared To The Year Ended December 31, 2019

Cellular Segment

Total revenues. Total revenues for the cellular segment in 2020 were NIS 2,208 million (US$ 687 million), a decrease of 7% from NIS 2,369 million in 2019.

Revenues from services. Service revenues for the cellular segment in 2020 totaled NIS 1,663 million (US$ 517 million), a decrease of 8% from NIS 1,798 million in 2019. The decrease was mainly the result of the negative impact of the COVID-19 crisis, which caused a very significant reduction in revenues from roaming services, and the continued price erosion of cellular services due to on-going competitive market conditions. These decreases in service revenues were partially offset by an increase in interconnect revenues due to the significant increase in incoming call volumes related to the COVID-19 crisis and an increase in revenues due to the growth of the cellular subscriber base.

As an illustration of the level of competition in the cellular market, approximately 1.9 million cellular subscribers are estimated to have switched operators within the Israeli market (with number porting) during 2020; similarly, approximately 2.2 million subscribers switched in 2019 and approximately 2.4 million in 2018. While our annual churn rate for cellular subscribers decreased marginally in 2020 to 30% compared with 31% in 2019 and 35% in 2018, competition in the cellular subscriber market remained intense. Significant price erosion continued to be caused by the number of cellular subscribers who moved between different rateplans or airtime packages (generally with a lower monthly fee) within the Company.

Revenues from equipment. Revenues from equipment sales for the cellular segment in 2020 totaled NIS 545 million (US$ 170 million), a decrease of 5% from NIS 571 million in 2019, mainly reflecting a decrease in the volume of retail sales of cellular equipment following the closure of some sales points during certain COVID-19-related lockdown periods during the year, partially offset by a significant increase in cellular equipment sales to wholesale customers.

Gross profit from equipment sales. The gross profit from equipment sales for the cellular segment in 2020 was NIS 94 million (US$ 29 million), compared with NIS 107 million in 2019, a decrease of 12%. This decrease mainly reflected the decrease in the volume of equipment sales, as described above, in addition to a decrease in profit margins from sales due to a change in the product mix.

Cost of service revenues. The cost of service revenues for the cellular segment decreased by 7% from NIS 1,514 million in 2019 to NIS 1,403 million (US$ 436 million) in 2020.  This decrease mainly reflected the decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses related to the cellular network, as well as the decrease in workforce and related expenses and in roaming expenses, partially offset by the increase in interconnect expenses due to the significant increase in outgoing call volumes related to the COVID-19 crisis (in parallel to the increase in incoming call volumes discussed above). See also note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses and credit losses. Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses and credit losses for the cellular segment in 2020 amounted to NIS 300 million (US$ 93 million), a decrease of 10% from NIS 334 million in 2019. The decrease mainly reflected the decrease in workforce and related expenses, which were partially offset by increases in amortization expenses and credit losses. See also note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Total operating expenses ("OPEX"). Total operating expenses (OPEX is not a financial measure under IFRS and not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures for other companies; see "Item 5A.2" for reconciliation on a consolidated basis) for the cellular segment totaled NIS 1,253 million (US$ 390 million) in 2020, a decrease of 4% or NIS 45 million from NIS 1,298 million in 2019, principally due to the decrease in workforce and related expenses, partially offset by the increase in interconnect expenses discussed above. See also note 22 to our consolidated financial statements. Including depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses (mainly amortization of employee share-based compensation), total operating expenses totaled NIS 1,703 million (US$ 530 million), a decrease of 8% compared with NIS 1,848 million in 2019.

B - 5

Operating profit. Overall, operating profit for the cellular segment in 2020 was NIS 73 million (US$ 23 million), a decrease of 5% compared with NIS 77 million in 2019, mainly reflecting the decrease in cellular segment service revenues and the decrease in gross profit from equipment sales which were partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses including depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses.

 Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment was NIS 533 million (US$ 166 million) in 2020, a decrease of 16% from NIS 635 million in 2019, largely for the same reasons as the decrease in operating profit (excluding depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses). As a percentage of total cellular revenues, Adjusted EBITDA for the cellular segment in 2020 was 24% compared with 27% in 2019.

Fixed Line Segment

Total revenues. Total revenues in 2020 for the fixed-line segment were NIS 1,129 million (US$ 351 million), an increase of 10% compared with NIS 1,028 million in 2019.

Revenues from services. Service revenues for the fixed-line segment totaled NIS 993 million (US$ 309 million) in 2020, an increase of 7% compared with NIS 925 million in 2019.  This increase mainly reflected the increase in revenues resulting from the growth in internet and TV services, which was partially offset by a decline in revenues from international calling services (including the market for wholesale international traffic) which continue to be adversely affected by the increased penetration of internet-based solutions. See also "Item 3D.2n The telecommunications industry is subject to rapid and significant changes in technology and industry structure which could reduce demand for our services."

Revenues from equipment. Revenues from equipment sales for the fixed-line segment in 2020 totaled NIS 136 million (US$ 42 million), an increase of 32% compared with NIS 103 million in 2019, mainly reflecting an increase in the volume of sales of fixed-line equipment for both business and private customers.

Gross profit from equipment sales. The gross profit from equipment sales for the fixed-line segment in 2020 was NIS 51 million (US$ 16 million), compared with NIS 37 million in 2019, an increase of 38%, again largely a reflection of the impact of an increase in sales recorded from sales of internet-related equipment and devices.

Cost of service revenues. The cost of service revenues for the fixed-line segment increased by 6% from NIS 826 million in 2019 to NIS 873 million (US$ 272 million) in 2020.  This increase mainly reflected increased expenses related to the growth in fixed-line segment services (including workforce and related expensesand depreciation and amortization expenses) and an increase in interconnect expenses (in parallel to the increase in incoming call volumes discussed in the cellular segment above), partially offset by receipt of a government-mandated refund from Bezeq of approximately NIS 20 million of payments for access to the wholesale internet infrastructure in previous years and a decrease in international calling services expenses. See also note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

B - 6

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses and credit losses. Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses and credit losses for the fixed-line segment in 2020 amounted to NIS 159 million (US$ 49 million), an increase of 19% from NIS 134 million in 2019. The increase mainly reflected increased workforce and related expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses related to the growth in fixed-line segment services. See also note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.

Total operating expenses ("OPEX"). Total operating expenses (OPEX is not a financial measure under IFRS and not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures for other companies; see "Item 5A.2. for reconciliation on a consolidated basis) for the fixed-line segment totaled NIS 766 million (US$ 238 million) in 2020, an increase of 2% or NIS 16 million from NIS 750 million in 2019. See also note 22 to our consolidated financial statements. Including depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses and other expenses (mainly amortization of employee share-based compensation), total operating expenses for the fixed-line segment totaled NIS 1,032 million (US$ 321 million), an increase of 8% compared with NIS 960 million in 2019.

Operating profit. Operating profit for the fixed-line segment was NIS 23 million (US$ 7 million) in 2020,  an increase of 130% compared to NIS 10 million in 2019, mainly reflecting the impact of the growth in TV and internet services and the increase in gross profit from fixed-line segment equipment sales, which more than offset the increase in total operating expenses including depreciation, amortization expenses and other expenses (mainly amortization of employee share-based compensation).

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment was NIS 289 million (US$ 90 million) in 2020, an increase of 33% from NIS 218 million in 2019. The increase resulted from the growth in TV and internet services and the increase in gross profit from fixed-line equipment sales, which were partially offset by the increase in total operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses and other expenses (mainly amortization of employee share-based compensation)). As a percentage of total fixed-line revenues, Adjusted EBITDA for the fixed-line segment in 2020 was 26%, compared with 21% in 2019.

23.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 23.1, the Minister may, based upon written request, permit an Office Holder in the Licensee to serve as an Office Holder in an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, or permit an Office Holder in an Interested Party in the Licensee to serve as an Office Holder in a Competing MRT Operator or in an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, if he is satisfied, that this will not harm the competition in MRT Services;  the Minister may condition the granting of such permit on conditions that the Office Holder must fulfill for prevention of harm to the competition as aforesaid.

23.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 23.1, an Interested Party in the Licensee, which is a trust fund, an insurance company, an investment company or a pension fund, may hold up to ten percent (10%) of the Means of Control in a Competing MRT Operator, and an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, which is a trust fund, an insurance company, an investment company or a pension fund, may hold up to ten percent (10%) of the Means of Control in the Licensee, provided it does not have a representative or an appointee on its behalf among the Office Holders of a Competing MRT Operator or of the Licensee, as the case may be, unless it is required to do so by law.

23.4 The Licensee, an Office Holder or an Interested Party in the Licensee, as well as an Office Holder in an Interested Party in the Licensee, will not control a Competing MRT Operator, and will not cause it, by any act or omission, to be controlled by a Competing MRT Operator or by an Office Holder or an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, or by an Office Holder in an Interested Party in a Competing MRT Operator, or by a person or corporation that controls a Competing MRT Operator.

23.5 The rate of indirect holding in a corporation will be a product of the percentage of holdings  in each stage of the chain of ownership, subject to what is set out in Paragraph 23.6; for example:

(A) ‘A’ holds 40%  in Company ‘B’;

(B) Company ‘B’ holds 40%  in Company ‘C’;

(C) Company ‘C’ holds 25%  in Company ‘D’;

(D) Therefore, Company ‘A’ holds, indirectly, 4% of Company ‘D’.

C - 7

23.6 For the matter of this Paragraph and Paragraphs 14.1 (G) (6), (7), (8), (8a), (9) and 21.4, if a certain body (hereinafter: “the Controlling Body”) controls another body that has holdings, directly or indirectly, in the Licensee (hereinafter: “the Controlled Body”), the Controlling Body, and also any other body controlled by the Controlling Body, will be attributed with the rate of holdings in the Licensee that the Controlled Body has, directly or indirectly; according to the following examples:

A. Direct holdings:

(1) ‘A’ holds 50% in Company ‘B’, and controls it;

(2) Company ‘B’ holds 50% in Company ‘C’, and controls it;

(3) Company ‘C’ holds 10% in the Licensee and does not control it;

(4) Therefore, notwithstanding that ‘A’s’ holdings in the Licensee in accordance with the instructions of Paragraph 5.6 are 2.5%, ‘A’ and also any body controlled by ‘A’ will be deemed as an Interested Party holding 10% in the Licensee.

B. Indirect holdings:

(1) ‘A’ holds 50% of Company ‘B’ and controls it;

(2) Company ‘B’ holds 40% of Company ‘C’ and controls it;

(3) Company ‘C’ holds 40% of Company ‘D’ and does not control it;

(4) Company ‘D’ holds 40% of the Licensee and does not control it;

(5) Therefore, ‘A’ and any body controlled by ‘A’ will be regarded as having a holding in the Licensee at the rate of holdings of Company ‘C’ in the Licensee, which is holdings of 16% (according to the method set out in Paragraph 23.5 for the calculation of the rate of indirect holdings in the absence of control), and in this manner, ‘A’ and any body controlled by ‘A’ is an Interested Party in the Licensee.

23.7 If a certain body has indirect holding in the Licensee, through two or more Interested Parties, then for the purpose of its definition as an Interested Party, and for the purpose of determining the rate of holding with regard to this Paragraph, the greatest indirect rate of holding will be taken into account, and also any rate of holding that derives from the chain of holdings through which the said holding body is attributed with the holdings of corporations controlled by it in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 23.6;  the rates of holdings that derive from two or more chains that will be taken into account as stated above, will be cumulative for the purpose of calculating the rate of holdings.

23.8 The Minister may, in response to a written request, permit an Interested Party in the Licensee to hold, either directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more in any of the Means of Control of a Competing MRT Operator, if the Minister is satisfied that this will not harm competition in the MRT field; ¹⁵the Minister may condition the granting of the said permit on a condition that the Interested Party in the Licensee or competing MRT Operator is an Interested Party merely by virtue of the provisions of Article 23.6 .

DEED OF AUTHORIZATION

To: Partner Communications Company Ltd. (the “Company”)

Attn: Hadar Vismunski-Weinberg, Adv., Company Secretary

Re: Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on

          Monday, May 3, 2021 (the “Meeting”)

I, the undersigned¹, _________________________, (Identification No./Registration No. ________________), of ____________________________________________, being a registered holder of ______________________² Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the "Ordinary Shares") of the Company, hereby authorize _________________, Identification No. _______________³, to participate and vote in my stead and on my behalf at the Meeting and in any adjournment thereof, inter-alia, with respect to any adjournment of discussion or resolution of any of the issues detailed on the Meeting agenda, until I shall otherwise notify you.

I declare and detail in the designated space below, in connection with the resolutions in items 6-8 whether I have a “Personal Interest” in the resolutions, or whether I am a “Controlling Party” in the Company, a “Senior Office Holder” or an “Institutional Investor”:⁴

¹ Name of shareholder.

² A shareholder is entitled to give several Deeds of Authorization, each of which refers to a different quantity of Ordinary Shares of the Company held by the shareholder, so long as the shareholder shall not give Deeds of Authorization with respect to an aggregate number of Ordinary Shares exceeding the total number of shares held by him.

³ In the event that the proxy does not hold an Israeli Identification number, indicate a passport number, if any, and the name of the country in which the passport was issued.

⁴ Kindly provide details regarding the nature of your “Personal Interest” in the resolution, why do you constitute a “Controlling Party” in the Company, you are a “Senior Office Holder” or an “Institutional Investor” (as the case may be), at the designated space below the table (on page 5). “Personal Interest” is defined in Section 1 of the Israeli Companies Law (1999), as amended (the “Israeli Companies Law”) as a person’s personal interest in an act or a transaction of a company, including, without limitation, the personal interest of a person's relative and the personal interest of an entity in which the person or the person's relative is an interested party. Holding shares in the applicable company does not give rise to a “Personal Interest”. “Personal Interest” includes, without limitation, a personal interest of a person voting by proxy which was given by another person, even if the other person does not have a personal interest, and a person voting on behalf of a person having a personal interest will be deemed as having a personal interest, whether the voting discretion is in the voter’s hands or not. The Israeli Companies Law refers to the definition of “Control” in Section 1 of the Israeli Securities Law (1968), as amended, defining "Control" as the ability to direct the activity of a company, except for ability stemming only from being a director or holding another position in that company, and it is presumed that a person is controlling a company if said person "holds" (as defined therein) at least half of (i) the right to vote in the shareholders general meeting; or (ii) the right to appoint the directors or the general manager of that company. For approval of the resolutions regarding the detailed items, any shareholders holding 25% or more of the voting rights in a company will be deemed a “Controlling Party”. Two or more persons holding voting rights in a company whereas each of them has a personal interest in approving a certain transaction would be deemed “holding together”. According to section 37 (d) of the Securities Law, a “Senior Office Holder” is, generally, a general manager, chief executive officer, deputy managing director, deputy director general, all  fulfilling such a role in the company even if his title is different, a director, or manager directly subordinated to the general manager; as well as chairman of the board, an alternate director, an individual appointed under section 236 of the Israeli Companies Law on behalf of the corporation who is a director, controller, an internal auditor, independent authorized signatory, and anyone fulfilling such a role, even if his job title is different, and a Senior Office Holder of a corporation controlled by the corporation, which has a significant impact on the corporation and any individual employed by a corporation in another position, holding  five percent or more of the nominal value of the issued share capital or voting rights. “Institutional Investor” - shall have the meaning defined in section 1 of the Supervisory Regulations Control of Financial Services (Provident Funds) (Participation of a Managing Company at a General Meeting), 2009, and a managing company of a Joint Investment Trust Fund as defined in the Joint Investment Trust Law, 1994.

Item No.	Subject of the Resolution	Votea			In respect of appointment of an external director (dahatz) pursuant to sections 239(b) or 245(a1) of the Israeli Companies Law - are you a “Controlling Party” in the Company, an “Interested Party”, having a “Personal Interest” in the appointment approval, a “Senior Office Holder” or an “Institutional Investor”b?
