BUSINESS REPORT

Financial Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Krka Group operates in diverse international environments and is exposed to foreign exchange risk in a few sales and purchase markets.

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

With regard to currency risk management, the key policy of the Krka Group remains to mitigate foreign currency exposure by natural hedging. To a limited extent, we also use derivative financial instruments. In 2020, we have continued our policy of partial hedging against the Russian rouble and U.S. dollar by financial instruments.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we recorded high exchange rate volatility in currency markets in the first half of 2020. As the pandemic negatively affected the global economy, oil prices slumped additionally weakening the value of the Russian rouble.

The value of currencies significant to Krka fell primarily in the first quarter. In the second quarter, value of the Russian rouble climbed, while the Polish

Interest Rate Risk

In the first half of 2020, the Krka Group raised no noncurrent borrowings and was therefore not exposed to the risk of changes in reference interest rates.

Credit Risk

The key credit risk of the Krka Group arises from trade receivables. This is the risk of clients failing to settle their liabilities by maturity dates. The Krka Group introduced a centralised credit control process for all clients with whom Krka's annual product sales exceed €100,000. Numbering 450 at the end of the first half 2020, their trade receivables accounted for approximately 95%. Receivables by small clients account for approximately 5% of total Krka Group receivables. Decentralised control is in place, złoty, Romanian leu, Croatian kuna, Hungarian forint, and Czech koruna stabilised.

Exposure of the Krka Group is the highest in relation to the Russian rouble. Over the first half of the year, the value of the rouble denominated in the euro fell by 12.1%. The average value of the Russian rouble dropped by 3.8% on the first half of 2019. In the first half of 2020, the Krka Group generated foreign exchange losses from the long position in the Russian rouble, which were partially neutralised through income from forward contracts. A part of exposure to the Russian rouble was hedged by forward contracts.

The Krka Group accrued a surplus of liabilities over assets in the U.S. dollar and a short currency position. The impact of the change in the U.S. dollar value was hedged by derivative financial instruments.

Taking into account net foreign exchange differences, income and expenses relating to derivative financial instruments and interest rates, as well as other financial income and expenses, the total net financial result in the first half of 2020 was negative and generated a €26.4 million loss.

exerted by the sales network under constant supervision of the controlling company.

In the second quarter of 2020, we extended and supplemented insurance for trade receivables with a credit insurance company. Gradually, we intend to insure all Krka Group receivables with the credit insurance company.

Despite the risks arising from the coronavirus situation, receivables were favourably managed in the first half of 2020. Even though sales grew, at the end of the first half of 2020 trade receivables dropped by 6% on the beginning of the year, and were 14% below the 2019 half-year mark.

The amount of receivable write-offs and impairments of the Krka Group is low because receivables are dispersed across a large number of clients and sales markets, and the majority of outstanding receivables

Liquidity Risk

In the first half of 2020, risks related to the Krka Group's liquidity were managed by effective shortterm cash flow planning. We employed cash flows from operating activities to provide for short-term liquidity. During the first half of the year, we did not draw any additional funds from pre-agreed shortare due from clients with whom Krka has been doing business for many years.

Write-offs and receivable allowances remained low in the first half of 2020. The maturity structure of receivables remained stable. With respect to total trade receivables, the percentage of overdue receivables was low also at the end of the first half of the year. We identified no particularities when collecting receivables.

term revolving and fixed borrowings from banks. We monitor cash flows from operating activities by daily, rolling weekly, monthly, and long-term planning. We maintain optimal cash balances on subsidiary bank accounts. All Krka Group liabilities were settled on time.

Property, Liability, and Business Interruption Insurance

In the observed period, Krka concluded insurance contracts for 2020 and extended liability insurance for Management and Supervisory Board members at the end of March. Despite the fact that the scope of insured property increased, the insurance premium grew slower than sales as a result of successful negotiations and insurance optimisation. In transport insurance, we significantly simplified administrative procedures, i.e. introduced electronic certificates and paperless communication.

Investor and Share Information

In the first half of 2020, the Krka share price on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange rose by 13.1%. Over the same period, holdings of treasury shares increased, while holdings of legal entities and institutional investors as well as foreign investors diminished. The stake of Slovenian retail investors remained unchanged. At the end of June 2020, Krka had a total of 48,015 shareholders.

Investments

In the first half of 2020, the Krka Group allocated €31.3 million to investments, of that €20.7 million to the controlling company. We primarily invested in development capacities, manufacturing upgrades, quality assurance, and our own production-anddistribution centres across the globe.

Our investments in the first half of 2020 lagged behind the plan due to the coronavirus pandemic impact on construction industry. We attempt to fulfil the investment plan to the greatest extent possible by the end of the year.

We built a multipurpose warehouse at our central site in Ločna, Novo mesto, to provide for extra storage room for incoming materials and finished products. This improved production speed and flexibility, product availability, and market supply. At the beginning of 2020, JAZMP (Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices of the Republic of Slovenia) granted us an operating permit, so all requirements for the facility start-up were met. The investment was worth slightly more than €34 million.

Notol 2, the state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing solid dosage forms, is also in Ločna, Novo mesto. The growing need for extra production capacities has incited us to acquire additional technological equipment. We started equipping a new packaging authorisations for Septolete Total honey-and-lemon flavoured lozenges; Duovit film-coated tablets; and Pikovit film-coated tablets.

We obtained marketing authorisations for Otoxolan (marbofloxacin/clotrimazole/ dexamethasone) suspension, ear drops for dogs. The medicine is indicated for treating bacterial or fungal otitis externa in dogs.

The high-capacity packaging line purchased for the Ljutomer production plant will allow for increased packaging output of lozenges and tablets. The investment was estimated at €4.4 million.

In Krško, construction of a new warehouse for raw materials started in June 2019. The investment will ensure sufficient warehousing capacities for raw materials used in chemical and pharmaceutical production. Storage will be arranged in compliance with the guidelines of the Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances (TRGS). Construction of the €8.2-million building has been completed. In June, we examined the building, and currently the procurement of equipment is in progress.

Controlling company has been making low investments into refurbishment of the Notol plant, the OTO solid dosage form production plant, and the Beta Department. Upgrading of systems and devices was valued at €5.5 million.

The Krka-Rus plant in the industrial zone of Istra in the north-western part of Moscow is one of the key investments in Krka subsidiaries. The Krka-Rus plant manufactures 80% of products intended for the Russian market, giving us the status of a domestic producer in the Russian Federation. In the next few years, we plan to increase production and laboratory capacities. The investment was estimated at €33 million.

At the end of 2017, we established a joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo with a local partner Menovo in the city of Ningbo, China. We obtained an EU GMP certificate for the production rooms taken on longterm lease. Commercial manufacture of the first product intended for markets outside China started at the end of 2018, when we also filed all marketing authorisation documents required for its sales in the Chinese market. In 2019, we further equipped the rooms with manufacturing and control equipment and started manufacturing several products for markets outside China. The procurement of equipment continues in 2020.

The majority of non-current trade payables included liabilities to the European Commission. In 2014, the Commission of the European Union ruled that Krka 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 on Krka a fine of €10,000 thousand. Krka paid the penalty imposed 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 did not violate the competition law rules. In December 2018, the Court ruled in favour of Krka. The decision of the General Court is not yet final, as the Commission lodged an appeal against the decision of the General Court, which will be decided by the European Court of Justice. Although the Commission did indeed pay back a fine of €10,000 thousand in early 2019, based on the assessment of legal experts, Krka deferred the revenue and recognised non-current trade liabilities in that same amount until the final decision of the Court is issued.

Non-current trade payables included payables to the European Commission. In 2014, the Commission of the European Union ruled that Krka 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 on Krka a fine of €10,000 thousand. Krka paid the penalty imposed 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 did not violate the competition law rules. In December 2018, the Court ruled in favour of Krka. The decision of the General Court is not final, as the Commission lodged an appeal against the decision of the General Court, which will be decided by the European Court of Justice. Although the Commission did indeed pay back a fine of €10,000 thousand in early 2019, based on the assessment of legal experts, Krka deferred the revenue and recognised non-current trade liabilities in that same amount until the final decision of the Court is issued.
