finished products and sales in the upcoming months. The value of the said inventories expressed in the euro further increased on account of significant appreciation of the rouble, which impacted the Krka Group income statement and temporarily reduced its EBITDA and EBIT.

The purchase was made in roubles. Inventories are current, necessary, and will be converted into finished products and sales in the upcoming months. The value of the said inventories expressed in the euro further increased on account of significant appreciation of the rouble, which impacted the Krka Group income statement and temporarily reduced its EBITDA and EBIT.

Organisational Chart

Krka Group Development Strategy

The Krka Group updates its development strategy every two years. The Management Board of Krka adopted the 2022–2026 Krka Group Development Strategy in November 2021 and presented it to the Supervisory Board.

We measure the achievement of strategic objectives through performance criteria at three levels: i) the Krka Group, ii) product and service groups, and iii)

Key Strategic Objectives up 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 Business Objectives for 2022

  • Sales of products and services are expected to reach €1,610 million.
  • The proportion of sales in markets outside Slovenia is estimated at 94%.
  • Prescription pharmaceuticals are set to remain the most important product group, composing 84% of overall sales.
  • Profit is planned at approximately €300 million.
  • The total number of employees in Slovenia and abroad is projected to increase by 2%.

business functions. The Group's performance criteria are monitored by the Management Board, while criteria at the level of product and service groups and business functions are monitored by relevant committees. The guiding principle in criteria system management is to increase the competitiveness of the Krka Group as a whole and of individual companies within the Group.

  • 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 adding new products.
  • To allocate 10% of revenue to research and development and an approximate amount of calculated amortisation, i.e. €110 million annually on average, to investments.
  • To pursue a stable dividend policy and consider the Group's financial requirements for investments and acquisitions when determining the net profit share for dividend payout each year, and to allocate at least 50% of net profit of majority shareholders for dividends.
  • To upgrade the Krka Group's sustainability culture, 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.
  • We plan to allocate €130 million to investments, primarily for expanding and modernising production facilities and infrastructure.
  • Performance results for the first half of the year are encouraging and we expect to reach the 2022 plans. However, business results for the remaining part of 2022 may depend on any new situation that might arise, including a potential new wave of COVID-19 and the related restrictions imposed by individual countries, rising prices of raw materials and energygenerating products, situation in eastern Europe, and volatility of exchange rates important to Krka.

BUSINESS REPORT

Financial Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

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

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

Krka's key policy with regard to currency risk management remains to mitigate foreign currency exposure by natural hedging. To a limited extent, we also use financial instruments. In 2022, we have continued our policy of partial hedging against the Russian rouble and US dollar with financial instruments. We used forward contracts for partial hedging against the rouble-related risk in the first quarter of 2022. Since April 2022, it has been no longer possible to hedge the rouble with forward contracts.

The situation in the east of Europe impacted currency markets in the first six month of the year. Heightened geopolitical risks were also a reason for surging energy prices and consequently increased inflation recorded in all globally important economies. Central banks responded to the situation by announcing they would increase interest rates and reduce monetary stimulus.

After the value of the Russian rouble fell in the first half of March, it has rallied against the euro and the

Interest Rate Risk

In the first half of 2022, the Krka Group had no noncurrent borrowings and was not exposed to the reference interest rate risk.

Credit Risk

The key credit risk of the Krka Group arises from trade receivables. This is the risk of customers failing to settle their liabilities by maturity dates. The Krka Group introduced a centralised credit control process, which includes all customers with credit limits exceeding €20,000. Numbering over 650 at the end of the first half of 2022, they accounted for more than 95% of total trade receivables. Control over dollar since mid-March. Over the first six months of 2022, the value of the rouble denominated in the euro rose by 51%. In the same period, the average value of the Russian rouble increased by 5.5% year on year. In the first half of 2022, the Krka Group generated foreign exchange gains from the long position in the Russian rouble. These are mostly unrealised foreign exchange differences arising from the revaluation of expected customer payments to the value of the rouble as at 30 June 2022, which was 56.5 roubles to the euro.

Krka's other important currencies on the sell-side generally remained stable in the first six months of 2022, while their foreign exchange differences positively impacted the final net financial result.

The value of the US dollar against the euro increased by 9% during the first half of this year. The Krka Group accrued a surplus of liabilities over assets from exposure to the US dollar and a short currency position. As a result, strengthening of the dollar has negatively affected the Group's operating profit. The negative impact of the strong dollar was offset by financial instruments.

Total net financial result for the first six months of 2022 was positive and amounted to €137.8 million, taking into account net foreign exchange differences, financial instruments income and expenses, interest income and expense, and other financial income and expenses.

small customers is decentralised in the sales network and under the constant supervision of the controlling company.

The amount of the Krka Group 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 customers with whom Krka has been doing business for several years.

Our credit risk management policy remained unchanged in the first six months of 2022. At the end of this period, more than 90% of Krka Group trade receivables were insured with a credit insurance company. Only a small portion of trade receivables was secured by bank instruments. Due to the situation in Ukraine, the Russian Federation, and Belarus, we paid special attention to these markets in the first half of 2022 and further strengthened our activities of trade receivables management.

Liquidity Risk

The Krka Group exposure to liquidity risk was low in the first half of 2022. We employed cash flows from operating activities to provide for adequate shortterm liquidity. The Krka Group recorded excess liquid assets, primarily as cash at bank and deposits with commercial banks, in the first six months of the year. We did not draw any additional funds from preapproved short-term bank credit lines.

At the end of the first six months, total value of trade receivables denominated in euros grew by 22% compared to the beginning of the year. The increase in trade receivables largely results from the revaluation of receivables in the Russian rouble to the strong rouble value at the end of the first half of 2022. The maturity structure of receivables remained stable. The percentage of overdue receivables to total trade receivables remained within acceptable limits at the end of the first six months. Credit control guarantees permanent control over the quality of the trade receivables portfolio.

We monitor cash flows from operating activities by daily, rolling weekly, and monthly planning. We maintain optimal cash balances in subsidiary bank accounts. All Krka Group liabilities were settled on time.

Property, Liability, and Business Interruption Insurance

We extended liability insurance for Management and Supervisory Board members at the end of March despite volatile international insurance markets. We also arranged several international insurance contracts for our companies abroad in the observed period. We managed to maintain a low premium share in revenue despite the demanding conditions in the global insurance market. An analysis of car

Investor and Share Information

The Krka share price on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange dropped by 20% in the first half of 2022. Holdings of Slovenian retail investors, legal entities and institutional investors, and treasury shares insurance for 2021 confirmed the measures taken to reduce the number of car damages and the amount of insurance premiums were effective.

We added Magnezij Krka 400 water soluble granules to our non-prescription product portfolio. The product, which classifies as a food supplement, contains magnesium citrate and B2. The two ingredients help reduce fatigue and exhaustion, and support normal functioning of the nervous system. Magnesium citrate is also vital for proper functioning of muscles. Our product does not contain preservatives, artificial colouring agents, flavours, sweeteners, gluten, and lactose.

Animal Health Products

We expanded marketing opportunities for our key animal health product brands and introduced them to new markets in the first half of 2022.

Investments

In the first half of 2022, the Krka Group allocated €49.5 million to investments, of that €35.0 million to the controlling company. We invested primarily to increase and technologically upgrade production facilities, development and quality management capacities and in our production and distribution centres around the world.

In Ločna in Novo mesto (Slovenia), our central location, we finished equipping Notol 2, our state-ofWe obtained approvals in new markets of the eastern Europe for Vitamin D3 Krka (cholecalciferol) tablets and Pikovit syrup.

We obtained marketing authorisations in the EU for Magnesol 300 water soluble granules.

We expanded marketing opportunities in southeastern Europe for our herbal product Herbion Iceland Moss syrup.

We added Amflee Combo (fipronil/S-methoprene) spot-on solution for the protection against and treatment of external parasite infections in dogs to our product portfolio in Region Overseas Markets.

the-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 made the facility fully technologically equipped. Its full capacity is 5 billion manufactured and 8 billion packed tablets and capsules per year. We apportioned €39.2 million to the investment.

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 in compliance with ATEX standards 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 for compression mixture preparation and granulation in the tablet compression process, and in logistic capacities at the Solid Dosage Form Products plant (Novo mesto, Slovenia). We estimate 2022 cost of room refurbishment and procurement of technological equipment at €17 million.

We started preparation works in March for construction of a multi-purpose replacement building called Paviljon 3 in Novo mesto (Slovenia). It will house an extension for our microbiology laboratory and additional rooms for several organisational units. Earthworks and laying deep foundations for the building are currently in progress. Construction 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 intend to build an extension to Sterile Products Department and install a new line for sterile solutions in order to double the capacity for manufacture of animal health products. This will provide for the longterm production of higher volumes of sterile products in compliance with GMP standards. 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 production of powder and liquid 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) and refurbish the rooms in the old part of the plant in compliance with good manufacturing practice guidelines. The total value of investments was estimated at €16.4 million.

We plan to build new facilities for API development and production in Krško, Slovenia. We have obtained building permits based on project documents and IED OVD environmental impact assessment for Sinteza 2 plant (for API synthesis), and laboratories for chemical analyses (Kemijsko-analitski center in Slovene). The procedures for obtaining an environmental permit have started. We intend to start construction after the permit is granted. This project also includes construction of a highly efficient wastewater treatment plant for complete treatment of effluent and small technology and infrastructure buildings required for production. The investment was estimated at €163 million. It agrees with our strategy of vertical integration, from the development of a product to its production.

We expect 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 by one quarter. The investment was estimated at €1.8 million.

Investment in expansion of production and laboratory capacities at the Krka-Rus plant in the industrial zone of Istra, a town north-west of Moscow, is in the finishing phase.

Our joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo in China continues to purchase manufacturing and quality control equipment. The manufacture of products for markets outside the country has been arranged in facilities taken on long-term lease, and since January 2021 also of first products intended for the Chinese market.

Total trade payables 133,189 140,011 95

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 a fine of €10,000 thousand on Krka. 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 the fine of €10,000 thousand in early 2019, Krka deferred the revenue based on the assessment of legal experts and recognised non-current trade payables in that same amount.

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 a fine of €10,000 thousand on Krka. 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 the fine of €10,000 thousand in early 2019, Krka deferred the revenue based on the assessment of legal experts and recognised non-current trade payables in that same amount.
