Vilkyškių pieninė AB Group's strategy to invest in innovative exclusive products has enabled the Company to deliver on its brand promise and continue surprising consumers with wider choices, new products, new taste sensations and new ways to enjoy dairy products, at the same time contributing to the brand's positions on the market.
The Company's branded and originally packaged products with great value propositions also have strong potential on export markets, which the Company is targeting with its "Vilvi" trademark.
In February, for the sixth consecutive years in a row Vilkyškių pieninė AB participated in the international exhibition of food industry "Gulfood 2019" in Dubai, The United Arab Emirates. The main focus was on cheese, cheese products and dry milk/whey products.
The Group operates in the business of dairy processing (production of fermented cheese). The main factors that may pose business risks for the Company are possible changes on the raw material and product markets, competition, as well as changes in the legal, political, technological and social environment. These may affect – whether directly or indirectly – the Group's cash flows and results.
The Company specialises in cheese production, with most of its revenue coming from the sale of matured cheese and cheese products. Consequently, the Company's sales, profit and overall financial standing may be affected by negative changes in the cheese market demand or pricing (market risks). Meanwhile, price pressure may originate from competition on the international and local cheese markets
The production of matured cheese is a lengthy process that may last between one and three months. As a result, the Company may be unable to respond quickly to market changes, which may tell upon its cash flows and bottom line.
The Group's credit risks are associated with accounts receivable. The risk of breach of contract by business partners is subject to certain control procedures. In the end of 2017, for 2 years term, the Company obtained credit insurance for its overseas customers with the insurer Euler Hermes. The risk of each client is assessed individually.
Credit risk associated with cash in banks is limited, as the Company works only with Lithuania's largest banks (mainly AB SEB Bankas). On 30 June 2019, the Company's debt-to-assets ratio was 0.63. The balance of outstanding loans on 30 June 2019 was EUR 29,198. Repayment is performed under the established schedule, without any delays.
Vilkyškių pieninė AB estimates that it has a 16-percent share of the Lithuanian market for cheese, i.e. it is in fourth place behind competitors Rokiškio sūris AB, Pieno žvaigždės AB and Žemaitijos pienas AB.
Interim consolidated financial statements for the 6 months 2019
On foreign markets, Vilkyškių pieninė AB has to compete against local manufacturers, who have the advantage of lower transportation costs. However, Vilkyškių pieninė AB is trying to compensate for this disadvantage by offering a range of higher value-added cheese products.
Vilkyškių pieninė AB offers industrial products in dry milk product segment, which are oriented into export thogh part is sold also locally.
Kelmės Pieninė AB and OP Corporate Bank signed an amendment to the credit agreement granting 600 thousand EUR credit for the construction of a warehouse for dry milk products, also signed a new repayment schedule.

The Law on Public Companies of the Republic of Lithuania stipulates that the dividend constitutes a share of profit payable to a shareholder in proportion to the face value of the stock held by the shareholder.
The Company's shareholders cannot vote to pay a dividend at a general meeting of shareholders, if 1) the Company is insolvent 2) the distributed result for the fiscal year ended is negative 3) the Company's equity is smaller than the sum of its authorised capital and reserves, or in cases where it would become smaller following a dividend payout.
The Company's board shall submit to the General Meeting of Shareholders an amount of dividend based on the audited net profit result for the fiscal year ended.
If the Company has been profitable, the Company's board shall allocate a certain part of revenue for dividend as set out in Clause 2.6, reinvesting the rest of the revenue so as to increase the Company's capitalisation.
The Company shall pay dividend in cash.
The Company's board should establish the amount of dividend after taking into account the consolidated net profit of the Company for the year ended. The dividend amount must be not less than 25 percent of the consolidated net profit of the Company for the year ended, but not larger than the Company's annual consolidated net profit
The Company reserves the right to diverge from the criteria for the amount of dividend, provided it gives reasons for such divergence.
