The decrease was a result of dividend payout amounting to €133.3 million and repurchase of treasury shares totalling €25.5 million.
The Company's provisions totalled €119.8 million (of which post-employment and other non-current employee benefits accounted for €117.7 million and provisions for lawsuits €2.1 million). Provisions rose by 13% compared to year-end 2019 due to a net increase in provisions for post-employment and other non-current employee benefits totalling €14.2 million.
Of the Company's current liability items, trade payables dropped by €39.1 million. Current liabilities from contracts with customers rose by €2.0 million and other current liabilities by €1.3 million. At the end of 2020, the Company's current borrowings from subsidiaries totalled €46.3 million.

Net change in cash and cash equivalents (exclusive of exchange rate fluctuations) of the Krka Group totalled €96.6 million in 2020, since the positive cash flow from operating activities exceeded negative cash flows from investing and financing activities.
The Krka Group generated profit from operations before changes in net current assets of €424.7 million. Changes in current assets that positively influenced cash flow included changes in trade receivables and provisions, while changes in trade payables, inventories, deferred revenue, and other current liabilities had a negative impact.
Negative cash flows from investing activities totalling €109.6 million were primarily accrued due to the acquisition of PP&E, net payments in connection with current investments and loans, payments in connection with derivatives, acquisition of intangible assets, and non-current loans. Negative cash flows from financing activities of €154.6 million primarily resulted from payout of dividends and other profit shares totalling €133.3 million and repurchased treasury shares of €25.5 million.

All 2020 performance ratios of the Krka Group are better than in the previous year and the best in the past five years.

10 leading prescription pharmaceuticals in terms of sales were product groups containing:
All pharmaceuticals listed above are marketed under different brand names in individual countries.
Sales of non-prescription products totalled €123.7 million, a 7% year-on-year drop, and accounted for 8.1% of total sales. The COVID-19 pandemic and decreased number of pharmacy customers negatively affected our sales. The incidence of common cold and flu also declined due to the measures associated with the pandemic, which decreased the demand for cough and cold products. They represent our most important group of non-prescription products. Septolete, Herbion, Nalgesin, and Bilobil are our most important non-prescription product brands in terms of sales.
Sales of animal health products grew by 10% and amounted to €75.9 million (5% of total sales). The combination of milbemycin and praziquantel (Milprazon*) was our most important animal health product in terms of sales in 2020. It was followed by products containing fipronil (Fypryst*, Fypryst* Combo), florfenicol (Floron), enrofloxacin (Enroxil*), and products combining pyrantel and praziquantel (Dehinel*, Dehinel* Plus).

Sales of leading products are presented by the main active ingredient. Combination medicines that incorporate the active ingredient are also included. Products marketed under different product brand names or the Krka trademark in individual markets are marked with asterisk.
We obtained marketing authorisations for 20 new products, 16 prescription pharmaceuticals, two non-prescription products, and two animal health products. We brought to the end more than 200 various registration procedures granting us marketing authorisations for new products and the established ones for sale in new markets.
In 2020, we filed 8 patent applications for technological solutions we had developed and evaluated as inventions. Based on priority applications from 2019, we submitted 6 international and one regional patent application. We were granted 8 patent rights in several countries. More than 200 patents filed by Krka are currently in force.
We filed 55 applications for Krka trademarks in Slovenia and 41 international and 51 national trademark applications. In total, we have registered more than 1,100 trademarks in several countries.
In 2020, we obtained marketing authorisations for 16 new products, and introduced established products to new markets with first authorisations.
In our important new therapeutic area of antithrombotic agents, we were granted marketing authorisations for two important active ingredients. We developed and obtained approval for Xerdoxo or Rivarolto (rivaroxaban) filmcoated tablets in four strengths, indicated for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in adults with various cardiovascular diseases. The vertically integrated model of development was followed for the product. API synthesis and formulation development were results of our in-house expertise and could be patent protected. Tablets are lactose- and gluten-free. They can be taken whole or crushed and suspended in water, this making it easier to swallow or administer via a nasogastric tube. The timely marketing authorisation in EU countries prepared grounds for launching it on selected European markets, while we were also granted authorisations in Serbia and North Macedonia.
Marketing authorisation was also granted for Ticabril or Atixarso (ticagrelor), an advanced platelet aggregation inhibitor in film-coated tablets. Ticagrelor is a reversible platelet aggregation inhibitor indicated in patients with complex cardiovascular conditions. It decreases the risk of cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infraction and stroke. In combination with acetylsalicylic acid, it is used for prevention of atherothrombotic events. Film-coated tablets are sugar-free, starch-free, and lactose-free and can be taken whole or crushed and mixed into water. The medicinal product is made according to the vertically integrated production model. We manage the development and manufacture of the active ingredient and the finished product based on our in-house development of the API synthesis and formulation. The marketing authorisation is the base to launch this medicine as one of the first generics.
We extended the range of our cardiovascular medicines by a new single-pill combination Olsitri (olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide) film-coated tablets in five strengths. We concluded the European decentralised procedure and obtained all necessary authorisations for entering the market among the first generic pharmaceutical companies immediately after the patent expiry. The medicine is indicated for lowering high blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension.
We supplemented our range of medicines for the treatment of diabetes with Maymetsi (sitagliptin/metformin) filmcoated tablets, the first fixed-dose combination with metformin. The combination medicine is an important antidiabetic agent for the treatment of type II diabetes. The two active substances exert synergistic action and regulate blood sugar levels. A patent independent formulation of sitagliptin, developed in house is used for the finished product and gives way to own developmental and production processes. We will organise production of the medicinal product on various production sites and in this way ensure its uninterrupted supply.
We added 3 new products to our range of oncology medicines.
We obtained marketing authorisations for our Erlotinib Krka (erlotinib) film-coated tablets in three strengths. The medicine is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and in combination with another medication also for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. This medicine is the result of in-house research and development. We have launched it on selected markets immediately after originator's patent expired.
Procedures for obtaining marketing authorisation for Lenalidomide Krka (lenalidomide) hard capsules from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) are concluded. It is used independently or in combination with other medicines used to treat various forms of blood cancer. Its key indication is maintenance treatment of disseminated plasmocytoma in adult patients.
Marketing authorisation was granted for Anastrozole Krka (anastrozole) film-coated tablets, our new oncology medicine indicated for the treatment of various types of breast cancer.
To our central nervous system range, we added a new medicine for the treatment of epilepsy, Lacosabil or Lydraso (lacosamide) film-coated tablets in four strengths. Lacosamide has demonstrated efficacy and safety in different types of patients with epilepsy. In comparison to other antiepileptics, it has a more favourable safety profile and produces fewer undesirable effects and lesser risk of interactions. It can be combined with other antiepileptic agents. It is the result of our own development, and integration of development and production processes.
An important achievement in 2020 was the first marketing authorisation in China. We obtained approval for the antiepileptic pregabalin in hard capsule dosage form, in two strengths with two equal indications as the originator, i.e. for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia and fibromyalgia. Successful R&D, business and regulatory operations led to obtaining approval for both, the active ingredient and finished product. Inspections that were successfully concluded paved the way for entering the Chinese market.
Under the European decentralised procedure, we obtained marketing authorisations for Efigalo or Fingod (fingolimod) hard capsules. Fingolimode is Krka's first medicine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, the chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. The agent alters the course of the disease in the highly active relapsing-remitting MS. It is our first in-house developed medicinal product in this therapeutic group of medicines for autoimmune diseases.
In addition to the established dexketoprofen solution for injection, we also obtained marketing authorisations for Dekenor or Dexfenia or Dexketia (dexketoprofen) film-coated tablets for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate pain. The medicine is authorised as a prescription pharmaceutical or as non-prescription medicine in different countries.
Supported with scientific evidence regarding the treatment of pain with the fixed-dose combination of active substances in prolonged-release tablets, we could obtain marketing authorisation for Doreta SR (tramadol/paracetamol) prolonged-release tablets in selected European markets. The updated instructions for use additionally ensure its safe use. The medicine that already had a major role in the treatment of moderate to severe pain in the past will be back on our markets in 2021.
We obtained marketing authorisation under the European decentralised procedure for Algominal (metamizole) filmcoated tablets. Tablets are scored on one side to allow adapted dosing. The medicine is indicated in the management of severe and cancer pain in patients aged 15 years and older.
We obtained the European Pharmacopoeia certificate of compliance and CEP for rosuvastatin and were granted marketing authorisations for products with this active ingredient in our key markets. Rosuvastatin, our in-house API is incorporated in Roswera (rosuvastatin) and fixed-dose combinations Co-Roswera (rosuvastain/ezetimibe), Roxiper (perindopril/indapamide/rosuvastatin), Valarox (valsartan/rosuvastatin) and Roxampex (perindopril/ amlodipine/rosuvastatin). They all come in film-coated tablet dosage form.
We also obtained CEP for our active ingredient rabeprazole and were granted marketing authorisation renewal for the established medicine Zulbex gastro-resistant tablets for the treatment of stomach problems.
In Slovenia, we obtained marketing authorisation for Hydroxychloroquine sulfate Krka (hydroxychloroquine) filmcoated tablets.
We extended our range of non-prescription products with two new products and added markets for products of established brands.
We renewed the formulation of our established product B-Complex (thiamine/riboflavin/pyridoxine/cyanocobalamin/ calcium pantothenate/nicotinamide) film-coated tablets. Supported with revised documentation, we could obtain renewed marketing authorisation in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. In Slovenia, where it is authorised as a non-prescription medicine, it is the only approved product with this vitamin B combination. The product is indicated for the prevention and treatment of hypovitaminosis B, avitaminosis B, increased body demand, malabsorption, and various other severe forms of vitamin B deficiency.
We have developed Flebaven 1000 in a new pharmaceutical form. We incorporated 1000 mg of purified flavonoid fraction, corresponding 900 mg of diosmin and 100 mg of flavonoids expressed as hesperidin, into film-coated tablets. The product is indicated for the treatment of symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency in adults and for the symptomatic treatment of deteriorated haemorrhoid-related problems in adults. It is taken once daily. The product was authorised in the Russian Federation.
We obtained marketing authorisations for two new animal health products and expanded marketing opportunities for our key animal health product brands.
We obtained marketing authorisation for the first generic fixed-dose combination FlorFlu or Flovuxin (florfenicol/flunixin) solution for injection, available in two different bottle volumes. Administered by a single injection, the combination of active substances has an antimicrobial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effect. It is indicated for the treatment of respiratory tract infections in cattle.
We obtained the marketing authorisation for Tuloxxin or Tulaxa (tulathromycin) 25 mg/ml solution for injection in three different bottle volumes. Tulathromycin is an advanced antimicrobial used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract in pigs.
In 2020, the Krka Group allocated €76.6 million to investments, of that €61.3 million to the controlling company. We primarily invested in new development capacities, manufacturing upgrades, quality management, and our own production-and-distribution centres across the world. In this period, our investments lagged behind the plan due to the COVID-19 pandemic impact on investments, primarily construction industry, yet with no material impact on the realisation of the related strategic guidelines.
We built a multipurpose warehouse at our central site in Ločna, Novo mesto, to provide for additional storage space for incoming materials and finished products. The new capacity improved production flexibility, product availability, and market supply. In 2020, we built and equipped a room in the raw materials warehouse for a two-way flow between the multipurpose warehouse, raw materials warehouse, and weighing rooms. We apportioned €34.6 million to the investment.
Notol 2, our state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing solid dosage forms, is also located 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 facility in 2019, and continued setting it up in 2020. The investment was estimated at €41 million. In 2020, we allocated €17 million for it.
In Krško, we constructed a new warehouse for raw materials used in chemical and pharmaceutical production. The investment was estimated at €8.2 million. We plan to build new capacities for the development and production of active ingredients at the same site.
The high-capacity packaging line purchased for the Ljutomer production plant will allow for increased packaging output of lozenges and tablets. The warehousing section of the plant was refurbished into a temporary storage room in compliance with the standards of good warehousing practice and health and safety at work. We apportioned €5.7 million to the investments.
We have been making low investments into refurbishment of Notol (solid dosage form production facility), OTO (solid dosage form production plant), and Beta plants. In 2020, €5.1 million was invested in the renewal of systems and devices.
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 abroad. The plant manufactures more than 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 €35 million. In 2020, we allocated €5 million for it.
In 2020, we continued making purchases of manufacturing and quality control equipment for production rooms taken on lease for our joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo in China. In these production rooms, we manufacture products for markets outside China, and since January 2021, the first product intended for the Chinese market.
At the end of 2020, the Krka Group had 11,677 employees, of which 5,418 worked abroad, a good 46% of the total Krka Group headcount.
