We were granted marketing authorisations for 16 new products, of that 14 prescription pharmaceuticals, and two animal health products. We completed more than 200 registration procedures, obtaining more than 1,000 marketing authorisations for various products.
In 2021, we filed twelve patent applications for new technological solutions we had developed and evaluated them as inventions at the global ranking level. Based on priority applications from 2020, we submitted four international patent applications. We were granted three patent rights in various countries. More than 200 valid patents protect our technological solutions.
We filed 42 applications for Krka trademarks in Slovenia. We also filed 29 international and 27 national trademark applications. More than 1,100 trademarks are registered in several countries.
In 2021, we obtained marketing authorisations for 14 new products, and introduced established products to new markets with first authorisations. In the EU member states, we were granted more than 500 new marketing authorisations.
We developed and obtained marketing authorisations for Aboxoma (apixaban) film-coated tablets, also marketed as Abidalo, a medicine with our new molecule, from our important new therapeutic area of antithrombotic agents. It is used for prevention of atherothrombotic events in adults with cardiovascular diseases. The model of vertical integration was followed in its production. API synthesis and formulation development were results of our in-house expertise. The API and finished product are manufactured at our own production plants. We manage and connect all development and manufacturing processes by applying our know-how and hence ensure continuous supply of and therapy with this advanced antithrombotic agent.
We added a product based on a new perindopril salt to our group of cardiovascular agents. Perindopril is our key API. Two perindopril arginine-based products were approved: monotherapy Prenessa (perindopril arginine) tablets, on markets also available as Prenessa Neo, Prenessa-As, Neoprenessa, Arprenessa, or Perineva; and a fixed-dose combination Neoprenewel, also marketed as Prenewel Neo, Co-Prenessa, Prenessa-As, Coarprenessa, Co-Perineva (perindopril arginine/indapamide) tablets. Production of our perindopril arginine also follows the model of vertical integration. The development and production result from our own know-how and take place in Krka-owned facilities. As we manage all processes from the development to marketing, we are able to respond quickly and ensure availability of perindopril products on our markets.
Marketing authorisations were granted for the cholesterol lowering agent based on our own optimised active ingredient, Ezoleta (ezetimibe) tablets. Based on new scientific studies, we improved the process of API synthesis. We synthesise the API in our premises.
We continued obtaining new marketing authorisations for our products in China. We completed documentation for several products by adding results of additional research and clinical trials done in compliance with the requirements of Chinese regulatory bodies, hence enabling new registration procedures to begin. We obtained marketing authorisations for three cardiovascular agents, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and losartan, all in tablets.
We are rapidly entering the area of antidiabetics, which is expected to become one of our major therapeutic areas. We extended our portfolio with a new fixed-dose combination Vimetso (vildagliptin/metformin) film-coated tablets, marketed also as Vildakombi. The two active ingredients exert synergistic action, regulate blood sugar levels, and help increase postprandial insulin levels in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. The agent is made according to the vertically integrated production model and incorporates vildagliptin, an API manufactured in-house. We also developed a patent-independent formulation. We plan to ensure uninterrupted supplies of the finished product to our markets by managing development and manufacturing procedures.
We added Apeneta (tapentadol) prolonged-release tablets, also marketed as Adoben, to our analgesic range. Tapentadol is an opioid analgesic and is used to treat various types of severe chronic pain in adults. The medicine is made according to the vertically integrated production model and is the result of in-house API synthesis and dosage form development. We were granted marketing authorisations for the product under the Decentralised Procedure (DCP) as the first generic manufacturer. We manufacture the medicine in our own facilities to provide for uninterrupted finished product market supply and availability of therapy.
Another result of our own development is the approval of our analgesic combination Doreta (tramadol/paracetamol) dispersible tablets, a new dosage form. This opioid analgesic plays an important role in treating moderate to severe pain. Dispersible tablets can be taken whole or dissolved in water. The new dosage form ensures quick dissolution and is acceptable to the taste, which makes taking easier on the patient.
For the first time, we obtained marketing authorisations for two oncology agents, Abiraterone Krka (abiraterone) film-coated tablets and Sunitinib Krka (sunitinib) hard capsules. Sunitinib is indicated for the treatment of tumours of the stomach, pancreas, and kidneys, while abiraterone is used for the treatment of prostate cancer. We
manufacture Abiraterone Krka at our greenfield state-of-the-art production plant in Jastrebarsko (Croatia), dedicated to the production of highly active APIs.
In the Russian Federation, we obtained marketing authorisations for our oncology agent Lenalidomide (lenalidomide) hard capsules indicated for various types of blood cancer. Its key indication is maintenance treatment of multiple myeloma in adult patients. We ensured availability of this medicine based on new scientific studies by setting up an additional registered manufacturing site in the Russian Federation.
Our established antibiotic Hiconcil (amoxicillin) was approved in dispersible tablets, a new dosage form. It is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections in adults and children. Thanks to the advanced dosage form, tablets can be taken whole or dissolved, making administration easier for the patient.
In the Region East Europe, we were granted nearly 100 new marketing authorisations. We entered regional markets with most advanced medicines. In Moldova, we were granted marketing authorisations for our antithrombotic agent Rivaroxia (rivaroxaban) film-coated tablets. We obtained marketing authorisations for Tadalafil Krka (tadalafil) filmcoated tablets in the Russian Federation according to the product registration procedure applied by the Eurasian Economic Union, and extended our range of medicines for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
In Belarus, we obtained marketing authorisations under the shortened procedure for Rivestar (rivastigmine) capsules and for Elicea (escitalopram) film-coated tablets; Duloxenta (duloxetine) hard gastro-resistant capsules; Kventiax (quetiapine) film-coated tablets; and Zalasta (olanzapine) tablets and hence prepared the grounds for this important therapeutic area of central nervous system agents in the region.
In the Region South-East Europe, we were granted 50 new marketing authorisations. The following medicines from two important therapeutic areas containing advanced APIs stood out: an antithrombotic agent Xerdoxo (rivaroxaban) in film-coated tablets; and two agents from the promising group of antidiabetics, Maysiglu (sitagliptin) film-coated tablets and the fixed-dose combination Maymetsi (sitagliptin/metformin) film-coated tablets.
We obtained more than 60 marketing authorisations in our Region Overseas Markets, making our generic medicines available to patients. In many countries of the Region Overseas Markets, we obtained marketing authorisations for most advanced medicines from various therapeutic areas. Among other, our advanced antidementia agent Memando (memantine) film-coated tablets and antipsychotic Aryzalera (aripiprazole) tablets were approved in Saudi Arabia. We obtained our first marketing authorisations in the United Arab Emirates for prescription pharmaceuticals as follows: two cardiovascular agents, Valsacor (valsartan) tablets and Valsaden (valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide) tablets; an antidiabetic agent Gliclada (gliclazide) prolonged-release tablets; and Vizarsin (sildenafil) orodispersible tablets for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
We continued obtaining the Certificates of Suitability to the monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia (CEP) based on our own API preparation procedures for a hypolipemic rosuvastatin and rabeprazole for the treatment of stomach problems.
We adopted changed legislation on APIs and obtained CEPs for Krka's key APIs: perindopril erbumine, telmisartan, and clopidogrel. We achieve highest quality of API synthesis in all our production facilities by undertaking extra development and marketing authorisation activities, hence providing for continuous manufacture of finished products.
We were granted marketing authorisations for two new farm animal health products. We extended indications and marketing opportunities for our key animal health product brands and obtained almost 180 new marketing authorisations in various countries.
We added a new fixed-dose combination Cladaxxa (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) chewable tablets in three strengths to our range of products for companion animals. The product is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections of the skin, gums, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and intestines in cats and dogs. We obtained marketing authorisations for the medicine for the first time, namely in the EU member states and North Macedonia.
Registration procedures were concluded for our new formulation of the fixed-dose combination of milbemycin and praziquantel in film-coated tablets for dogs, on various markets available as Milprazon Chewable, Milprazon Plus, Amcofen, Mektix Chewable, and Milgusto Chewable. The improved palatability enhances voluntary uptake, reaching over 80% in dogs. This fixed-dose combination is an intestinal parasite dewormer. Thanks to its systemic mechanism of action, it at the same time prevents infestations with heartworms and eyeworms.
In 2021, the Krka Group allocated €66.4 million to investments, of that €49.5 million to the controlling company. We invested primarily to increase and technologically upgrade production facilities, development and quality management capacities. We also invested in our own production and distribution centres around the world.
In Ločna, Novo mesto, Slovenia, our state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing solid dosage forms, the Notol 2 Plant, has been in operation for several years. The growing need for production capacities has incited us to acquire additional technological equipment for the plant. The investment was estimated at €41 million, and we spent €8.5 million in 2021. When technologically equipped, its full manufacturing capacity is expected to reach 5 billion tablets and its full packaging capacity 8 billion tablets per year.
We intend to upgrade and renew the automated washing systems of the oldest section of the Notol Plant in compliance with the GMP guidelines. We are also making the project design for water systems estimated at €3.1 million. We plan to refurbish the packaging facility and replace the packaging lines with upgraded versions. The investment is estimated at €38.2 million.
We are investing €26 million in additional capacities in the Solid Dosage Form Production Plant for compression mixture preparation and granulation in the tablet pressing process, and in logistic capacities.
We are finishing several investments in our development-and-control facilities in total of €8.2 million.
The warehousing section of the Ljutomer manufacturing plant in Slovenia was refurbished into a temporary storage room in compliance with the standards of good warehousing practice and health and safety at work. We apportioned €2 million to the investment. Also in Ljutomer, we are increasing production capacities for granulation and packaging estimated at €13 million.
At our Slovenian Beta Šentjernej Plant, we upgraded the systems and equipment in compliance with ATEX standards. We also plan to increase the production capacity for preparation of dry granules. Total value of investments is estimated at €2.6 million.
We plan to construct a new multi-purpose building, Paviljon 3, in Novo mesto, Slovenia. It will house an extension for our microbiology laboratory and additional rooms for several organisational units. Project documentation for this €18.6 million investment has been completed, and the construction works are expected to start in March 2022.
As our production capacities increase, so do our energy demands. Investment in production capacities for compressed air and construction of new utility lines for energy supplies to manufacturing facilities are already in progress. The cost of energy infrastructure extension at our Novo mesto production facility is estimated at €2.5 million.
We intend to build new facilities for development and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in Krško, Slovenia. The designs for execution have been drawn up and the process of obtaining the required consent to build the production plant for manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients Sinteza 2 and laboratories for chemical analyses (Kemijsko-analitski center in Slovene) are under way. We also plan to build other small facilities for technology and infrastructure required for an uninterrupted production process. The investment is estimated at €163 million. It agrees with our strategy of vertical integration, from the development of a product to its production.
The Krka-Rus plant in the industrial zone of Istra, a town north-west of Moscow, is one of the key investments in Krka subsidiaries abroad. The plant manufactures more than 75% of products we sell in the Russian Federation, giving us the status of a domestic producer in the country. In the next few years, we plan to further increase its production and laboratory capacities. The investment was estimated at €35 million. In 2021, we allocated €5.7 million for it.
We continued to purchase manufacturing and quality control equipment for our joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo in China. In China, we manufacture products for markets outside the country, and since January 2021, we have also been manufacturing the first product intended for the Chinese market. In the first quarter of 2022, we intend to add three more products.
At the end of 2021, the Krka Group employed 11,511 persons of whom 46% or 5,273 worked outside Slovenia. The proportion of Krka Group employees with at least university-level qualifications was 51%, of that 207 employees held doctoral degrees. Together with agency workers, the Krka Group employed 12,459 personnel.
In 2021, the price of Krka share on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange increased by a good 29%, reaching €118.00 at the end of the year. Market capitalisation of Krka amounted to €3.9 billion.
At the end of the year, Krka had 46,820 shareholders, or 1% fewer than at the end of 2020. The shareholding structure, with 38.8% of domestic retail investors (natural persons) and 22.2% of foreign investors, is stable and without major changes.
In 2021, we allocated €15.3 million to treasury share purchasing and €156 million to dividend payouts. We acquired 142,134 treasury shares, and held a total of 1,683,908 treasury shares as at 31 December 2021, accounting for 5.135% of share capital.
The following events did not impact the 2021 financial statements.
On account of rapid changes and their unpredictability in this moment, it is currently not possible to reliably forecast the impact of the situation on Krka's business operations in 2022 and any long-term consequences. Krka has a strong capital structure, generates a solid cash flow from operations and has no financial debt, so its successful business performance in the long run is not jeopardised. Our Management Board closely monitor events and implement all necessary activities to ensure business continuity in the two countries. They also take measures to manage operational risks and reduce the eventual negative impact on business results. The Management Board will prepare and publish the eventual revision of guidance for 2022, when and if tangible assessment of short and long term implication of current situation is possible. A more detailed explanation of the situation is published in the press release issued simultaneously with the 2021 Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Krka Group and Unaudited Financial Statements of Krka, d. d., Novo mesto.
Krka acquired 21,689 treasury shares between 1 January 2022 and 17 March 2022. At the end of this period, it held 1,705,597 treasury shares, accounting for 5.201% of total shares.
