2 The significant appreciation of the Russian rouble in the 2022 half-year had pushed the euro value of inventories in Krka subsidiaries in the Russian Federation up considerably, which had a major impact on the Krka Group income statement as a temporary drop in the EBITDA and EBIT margins. The impact decreased in the third quarter of 2022 – in part due to lower inventories, and in part due to the rouble's rate not strengthening further. This considerably improved the EBITDA and EBIT margins for the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2022. They were now on par with the first quarter of 2022. The adjusted EBITDA and EBIT, which were included in the 2022 Semi Annual Report, are thus no longer being disclosed.

Organisational Chart

Krka Group Development Strategy

The Krka Group updates its development strategy biannually. The Krka Management Board adopted the 2022–2026 Krka Group Development Strategy and

Key Strategic Objectives to 2026

  • To attain at least 5% average annual sales growth in terms of volume and/or value, achieve above-average sales growth against market dynamics, and remain or rank among the leading generic pharmaceutical companies with our brands in individual markets and selected therapeutic categories.
  • To strengthen and optimise the vertically integrated business model, proven to be an effective strategic guideline and a comparative advantage. To ensure high standards of product quality, safety, and efficacy.
  • To keep the focus on the long-term profitability of the products sold, from development and production to marketing and sales, including all other functions within the Krka Group, and to achieve an average EBITDA margin of at least 25%.
  • To ensure that new products and vertically integrated products account for the largest possible proportion in total sales, in addition to the existing range of products, also referred to as 'the golden standard'. To enter new therapeutic categories and specialities as an innovative generic pharmaceutical company, and develop complex products, including biosimilars.

Krka Group 2022 Performance Estimate

  • Full-year sales of products and services will exceed targets, totalling €1,674 million according to projections, up 7.3% year over year and resulting in average annual sales growth over the five-year period of 5.8%.
  • The proportion of sales in markets outside Slovenia for the full year 2022 is estimated at 94%.
  • Region East Europe will remain the largest sales region and the Russian Federation the largest individual market. Other regions are projected to follow in this order: Region Central Europe with our second largest individual market Poland, Region West Europe, where the largest market is

presented it to the Supervisory Board at its November 2021 meeting.

  • To ensure growth through long-term business partnerships and targeted acquisitions in addition to organic growth. The primary goal is to increase sales by entering new markets and launching new products.
  • To allocate 10% of revenue to research and development, and approximately the amortisation and depreciation cost, i.e. €110 million annually on average, to investments.
  • To pursue a stable dividend policy while considering the Group's financial requirements for investments and acquisitions when determining the net profit share for dividend payout each year, and allocate at least 50% of net profit attributable to majority shareholders for dividends.
  • To upgrade the Krka Group culture of sustainability, integrate sustainability aspects into corporate governance and business decisions, and maintain our economic, social and environmental responsibility to the environments in which we operate. To disclose sustainability topics in accordance with the GRI standards in 2022 and obtain an ESG rating in 2023.
  • To exploit digitalisation potentials in all business phases.
  • To maintain independence.

Germany, Region South-East Europe, Region Slovenia, and Region Overseas Markets.

  • Prescription pharmaceuticals will remain the most important product category, accounting for an 82% share of total sales.
  • Full-year net profit will total around €360 million.
  • We plan to allocate €90 million to investments in our in-house development, production, and infrastructure facilities. The figure is below the initial plan but higher from the investment budget for the last two years. All investments anticipated in our business plan are currently in progress.
  • At the end of 2022, the Krka Group is expected to have 11,835 regular employees on payroll (up 2.8%), over 45% outside Slovenia.

Krka Group 2023 Business Plan

  • Product and service sales are projected to total €1,755 million in 2023, up 5% compared to fullyear 2022 estimates, with average annual sales growth over the five-year period thus at 5.7%.
  • The proportion of sales in markets outside Slovenia is estimated at 94%.
  • Prescription pharmaceuticals will remain the most important product group, representing 82% of overall sales.
  • Net profit is planned to be around €300 million, with average annual growth over the five-year period at 11.6%.
  • We plan to increase the total number of employees in Slovenia and abroad by 2%.

We plan to allocate over €130 million to investments, primarily to expand and technologically modernise production and development facilities and infrastructure.

The 2023 business plan derives from the 2022– 2026 Krka Group Development Strategy and is based on estimates, assessments, projections, and other available data. The Management Board believe the projections are reasonable. In the event of any major changes in the Krka business environment, e.g. price erosions, rising prices of raw materials, changes in exchange rates for certain currencies important for Krka, and decreased demand for pharmaceutical products, the actual operating results could deviate from the plan.

BUSINESS REPORT

Financial Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Krka Group operates in diverse international environments and is thus exposed to foreign exchange risks in certain sales and purchase markets.

Currency exposure arises from the different values of assets and liabilities in a particular currency in the Group statement of financial position, and from differences between operating income and expenses generated in individual currencies.

Krka's key currency risk management policy remains mitigating risk exposure with natural hedging. To a limited extent, we also use financial instruments. In 2022, we have continued our policy of partial hedging against the risk of the Russian rouble and U.S. dollar with financial instruments. In the first quarter of 2022 we used forward contracts for partial hedging against rouble-related risk. It has not been possible to hedge the rouble with forward contracts since April 2022.

Currency markets in the first nine months of 2022 reflected geopolitical risks associated with the situation in eastern Europe. Surging energy prices, growing inflation, the risk of subdued global economic growth and tightening monetary policies of the major world central banks have increased the instability of foreign exchange rates. In the third quarter of 2022 the European Central Bank raised key interest rates for the first time in 11 years, them being lifted even faster by the US Federal Reserve. Interest rates are expected to rise further in the medium term.

The value of the Russian rouble stabilised somewhat in the third quarter after the first half of the year. By the end of the third quarter, the euro-denominated value of the rouble had risen by 43.8% from the beginning of the year. Over the nine months, the rouble averaged 15.5% higher year on year.

Interest Rate Risk

In the first nine months of 2022, the Krka Group had no non-current borrowings and was therefore not After the intervention lifting of the key exchange rate in February 2022, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation gradually lowered it by the end of September to 7.5%. The high foreign trade surplus in the third quarter of 2022 supported the rouble's position. The risk of exchange rate changes persists.

The Krka Group generated exchange rate gains in the first nine months of 2022 from its long position in Russian roubles. Half of the exchange rate gains had been realized by the end of September in the form of payments received from customers, and the rest comes from the conversion of RUB receivables to reporting currency considering the FX rate as at 30 September 2022, which was 59.3 roubles to the euro.

The value of the US dollar against the euro increased by 16.2% in the first nine months of 2022. The Krka Group has an excess of liabilities over assets in US dollars and a short currency position, therefore the strengthening of the dollar negatively impacts our operating profit. The negative impact of the stronger dollar on the Group's result was neutralized with financial instruments.

As to the other currencies that are important for Krka's sales, the Polish zloty and the Hungarian forint recorded a noticeable drop in the first nine months of 2022. The total exchange rate loss from these currencies during this period was within acceptable limits.

Taking into account net exchange rate result, income and expenses from financial instruments, income and expenses from interest and other financial income and expenses, the total net financial result for the first nine months of 2022 was positive, totalling €122.4 million.

exposed to the risk of changes in reference interest rates.

Credit Risk

The key credit risk for the Krka Group arises from trade receivables. This is the risk of customers failing to settle their liabilities at maturity. The centralised credit control process at Group level includes all customers with credit limits exceeding €20,000. There were over 650 such customers at the end of the of the third quarter of 2022, accounting for more than 95% of total trade receivables. Credit control of small customers is decentralised, carried out in the sales network under the constant supervision of the controlling company.

The amount of receivable write-offs and impairments is low because receivables are dispersed across many customers and sales markets, and the majority of outstanding receivables are due from Krka's longterm business partners.

Our credit risk management policy remained unchanged in the first nine months 2022. At the end of this period, more than 90% of Krka Group trade receivables had insurance coverage from a credit insurance company. Only a small portion was secured by bank instruments. Due to the tense situation in Ukraine, the Russian Federation and Belarus, we devoted special attention to these markets and further strengthened our activities for managing trade receivables.

At the end of the third quarter, the total value of trade receivables in euros was roughly at the same level as at the beginning of the year. The maturity structure of receivables remained stable. The proportion of overdue receivables to total trade receivables remained within acceptable limits at the end of the third quarter. Our credit control process guarantees permanent control over the quality of the trade receivables portfolio.

Liquidity Risk

The Krka Group exposure to liquidity risk was low in the first nine months of 2022. Cash flows from operating activities supplied adequate short-term liquidity. The Group reported an increase in liquid assets during this period. We did not utilize any additional funds from pre-approved short-term bank credit lines.

Cash flows from operating activities are monitored by daily, rolling weekly, and monthly planning. Optimal cash balances are maintained in the bank accounts of subsidiaries. All Krka Group liabilities were settled on time.

Property, Liability, and Business Interruption Insurance

We managed to maintain a low premium share in revenue despite the demanding conditions in the global insurance market. An analysis of car insurance for 2021 confirmed that the measures taken to reduce the number of car damages and the amount of insurance premiums were effective.

To increase the competitiveness of our insurance policies we have continued commissioning additional insurance providers in the international market. This continues the outlined insurance strategy, which includes insurance premium management, transparency with regard to insurance, and stability of insurance types in terms of the content and extent of coverage. We have also continued with the measures intended to reduce the number of property damages and optimise the insurance programme. No major loss events were recorded in the reported period.

Investments

In the first nine months of 2022, the Krka Group allocated €74.9 million to investments, of which the controlling company invested €53.1 million. We primarily invested in our production, development and quality management facilities, to increase capacity and upgrade technologies, and in our production and distribution centres worldwide.

In Ločna (Novo mesto, Slovenia), our central location, we finished equipping Notol 2, our state-ofthe-art plant for the production of solid dosage forms. We installed several highly automated and robotised packaging lines, of which the last two were made ready for operation in June 2022. This has rendered the facility fully technologically equipped. Its full capacity is 5 billion manufactured and 8 billion packed tablets per year. This most recent investment into Notol 2 has totalled €39.2 million.

We are planning several additional renovations of the Notol plant in the mid-term period to 2026. In 2022 we have been upgrading water supply systems and automated washing systems. The investment is estimated at €3.1 million.

Moreover, we are renovating the format tool washing room, and replacing and overhauling the worn-out packaging lines. All 16 packaging lines have been commissioned and will be delivered and installed gradually by the end of 2024. The investment is estimated at €38.2 million.

In addition, the €6.1 million investment will increase production capacity, intermediate products control capacity. We will allocate €11.3 million to modernising and increasing our granulation capacity.

We finished several investments to upgrade the capacities for research, development and analyses in our development-and-control laboratories. They totalled €8.2 million.

As our production capacities increase, so do our energy demands. We finished investing in increased capacity for production of compressed air and new utility lines for energy supplies to manufacturing facilities. We invested €2.5 million in energy infrastructure extension at our Novo mesto (Slovenia) production facility.

At our Slovenian Beta Šentjernej plant, we upgraded the systems and equipment and increased the production capacity for the preparation of dry granules. The investment totalled €2.4 million.

We are investing €26 million in additional capacities at the Solid Dosage Form Products plant (Novo mesto, Slovenia). The 2022 costs of room refurbishment and procurement of technological equipment is estimated at €17 million.

Preparation works have started in April for the construction of a multi-purpose building called Paviljon 3 (in Novo mesto, Slovenia). It will house an extension for our microbiology laboratory and additional rooms for several organisational units. The construction costs of the six-storey building is estimated at €19.3 million.

New analytical techniques require extra laboratory facilities, which we intend to obtain by refurbishing rooms in buildings RKC1 and 3. The €1.8 million investment will ensure safe conditions for work with materials that contain highly active ingredients.

We plan to build an extension to the Sterile Products Department and install a new line for sterile solutions in order to double the manufacturing capacity for animal health products. This will provide for the longterm production of higher volumes of sterile products. The investment was estimated at €29 million.

We plan to install a new filling line and hence double the tube filling capacity in our Bršljin Department (Novo mesto, Slovenia) for the manufacture of powder and liquid animal health products. The investment was estimated at €1.8 million.

We also plan to increase the production capacities for granulation and packaging at our Ljutomer Department (Slovenia). The total investment value is estimated at €16.4 million.

We plan to build new facilities for API development and production in Krško (Slovenia). Based on project documentation and an IED OVD environmental impact assessment we obtained the building permit for the Sinteza 2 plant and laboratories for chemical analyses (Kemijsko-analitski center in Slovene). The environmental permit has also been granted, and construction works are planned to start after the permit enters into force. This project includes the construction of a highly efficient wastewater treatment plant for the complete treatment of effluents, and the construction of small technology and infrastructure buildings required for production. The investment is estimated at €163 million and is in line with our strategy of vertical integration, from the development of a product to its production.

We expect the installation of the secondary packaging line in the production and distribution centre in Jastrebarsko (Croatia) to increase production capacities for solid forms of animal health products. The investment into modernising the facilities and systems there will also result in a secondary location for the purposes of Quality Management and Information Technology. The investment is estimated at €3.5 million.

Total trade payables 139,839 140,011 100

Non-current trade payables include liabilities to the European Commission. In 2014, the Commission of the European Union ruled that Krka had infringed the provision of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which resulted in a distortion of competition on the perindopril market of the European Union. Thus, it imposed a fine of €10,000 thousand on Krka. Krka paid the penalty within the deadline set by the Commission, and filed a lawsuit against the Commission's decision before the General Court of the European Union, because it

considered that its conduct had not violated the competition law rules. In December 2018, the Court ruled in favour of Krka. The decision of the General Court is not final yet, as the Commission lodged an appeal against it, which will be decided by the European Court of Justice. Although the Commission did indeed pay back the fine of €10,000 thousand in early 2019, Krka deferred the revenue based on the assessment of legal experts, and recognised noncurrent trade payables in that same amount.

Total trade payables 202,170 188,143 107

Non-current trade payables include liabilities to the European Commission. In 2014, the Commission of the European Union ruled that Krka had infringed the provision of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which resulted in a distortion of competition on the perindopril market of the European Union. Thus, it imposed a fine of €10,000 thousand on Krka. Krka paid the penalty within the deadline set by the Commission, and filed a lawsuit against the Commission's decision before the General Court of the European Union, because it

considered that its conduct had not violated the competition law rules. In December 2018, the Court ruled in favour of Krka. The decision of the General Court is not final yet, as the Commission lodged an appeal against it, which will be decided by the European Court of Justice. Although the Commission did indeed pay back the fine of €10,000 thousand in early 2019, Krka deferred the revenue based on the assessment of legal experts, and recognised noncurrent trade payables in that same amount.
