2. EXPECTED BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN 2025

The forecast for 2025 is based on mild economic growth due to growth in consumption and investment, with slowing inflation and a challenging combination of opportunities and risks for entrepreneurs in an environment of deteriorating global economic expectations due to growing protectionism and geopolitical instability. The management of the parent company of the Group will continue to actively work on further business development. In this part, during 2025, the Management Board of the parent company of the Group will carry out all the necessary activities with the aim of consolidating the operations of the MIP Group and the Čakovečki mlinovi Group with the aim of increasing competitiveness and expanding operations on the relevant market, optimizing costs and increasing the client base with the planned modernization of operations.

The Group's operations in 2025 are subject to macroeconomic and economic trends in the world and Europe, and the Group will continue with a focused approach to finding opportunities in a dynamic environment.

At the date of issuance of this report, the Group has sufficient cash position to meet its liabilities as they fall due and therefore prepares its financial statements on a going concern basis.

General economic environment

According to CNB data, core inflation in Croatia is expected to slow from 4.0% to 3.7% in 2025. The slowdown in inflation in the first 8 months of 2024 is reflected in the weakening of current inflationary pressures, primarily core inflation and food price inflation. The risks of higher inflation are mainly related to geopolitical tensions that could result in higher allocations for defense and thus higher prices of energy and other raw materials, then trade barriers and stronger than expected wage growth

Real GDP in Croatia for 2024 was 3.8%, and the CNB expects further growth but at a slightly lower level of 3.2% in 2025.

For 2025, global and regional GDP is expected to continue to grow, although perhaps at a slower pace than during the post-pandemic recovery. Depending on the region, economies could experience stabilization, while markets in developed countries should record moderate growth. In Croatia and Europe, the return to economic growth will also depend on favorable circumstances in the international market, interest rate policy and stability of political and trade relations. Thus, in Croatia we have a slowdown in growth to 3.2% (in 2024 3.8%).

Further GDP growth is expected through a greater contribution from the export of goods and services, assuming a recovery in external demand, but also through a continued decline in interest rates and more favorable financing costs. The slowdown in growth results from the slower growth of investments and the weakening of consumer confidence, i.e. the weakening of personal consumption in the first two months.

The impact of the war in Ukraine and Middle East

The extended duration of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East represent negative risks for global trends and the economic growth of the Eurozone, which ultimately affects the Croatian economy.

As of the date of this report, the Group has no relationship with, nor exposure to, companies from Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. The Group maintains all business operations in Croatia, to a lesser extent the Group's foreign revenues relate to EU countries. Therefore, the parent company Čakovečki mlinovi Inc. does not have any shareholders from Russia or Belarus nor does it directly or indirectly hold any ownership interests in entities in these countries.

There is no direct exposure to the mentioned countries. The management continuously considers all risks associated with external geopolitical movements and assesses that these risks do not threaten the stability of the Group's operations.

State price control measures

In the retail segment, during 2025, new government measures aimed at controlling the prices of certain products will potentially have a negative impact on the volume and profitability of the Group's business. As of January 2025, limited prices have been defined for 70 products in retail. Management is influencing the negative effects through the pricing policy of the rest of the assortment and through the adjustment of business operations to Sundays.

State price control measures have limited the prices of flour type T-550 smooth and T-400 sharp, wheat bread, instant polenta, Kaiser rolls, and barley porridge from January 31, 2025, which prevents them from having an active pricing policy and indexing costs that affect the price of the final product.
