2. EXPECTED BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN 2025

The forecast for 2025 is based on mild economic growth due to positive developments in the labor market and further inflow of EU funds, with an expected decrease in disposable household income and investments. Due to Croatia's relatively low exposure to the US market, no significant negative effects of the increase in tariffs are expected. The Management Board of the parent company of the Group will continue to work actively on further business development. In this regard, the Management Board of the parent company of the Group will carry out all necessary activities in 2025 to consolidate the operations of the MIP Group and the Čakovečki mlinovi Group with the aim of increasing competitiveness and expanding operations in the relevant market, optimizing costs, and increasing the client base with the planned modernization of operations.

The Group's operations in 2025 are subject to macroeconomic and economic trends in the world and Europe, and the Group will continue with a focused approach to finding opportunities in a dynamic environment.

On the date of publication of this reportThe Group has sufficient cash position to meet its liabilities as they fall due and therefore prepares its financial statements on a going concern basis.

General economic environment

According to CNB projections from September 2025, somewhat higher inflation is expected in Croatia in 2025 from 4.0% to 4.2% due to the increase in energy and food price inflation. Acceleration of overall inflation in 2025 is contributed by the rise in energy prices, driven by administrative increases in the prices of gas, electricity and thermal energy at the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025, and, to a lesser extent, the increase in food price inflation after the strengthening of ongoing inflationary pressures in the middle of the year. The rise in food prices can be partly explained by the previous rise in the prices of certain food raw materials, the transfer of higher wage costs to prices and strong domestic demand. The risks of higher inflation are mainly related to geopolitical tensions that could result in higher allocations for defense and thus higher prices of energy and other raw materials, trade barriers and stronger than expected wage growth.

The Croatian economy is expected to continue growing relatively strongly in 2025 and 2026, but with the expansion slowing to around 3% on average, after real GDP growth accelerated to 3.9% in 2024. Real disposable income growth will gradually weaken, although it will continue to support personal consumption thanks to higher wages and employment. A more moderate increase in investment is also expected after three years of double-digit growth, but with a continued strong contribution from EU funds and more favorable financing conditions.

Strengthening external demand could support exports, but the price uncompetitiveness of tourism and the growth in services imports will limit the positive impact, so the contribution of net exports to GDP growth could remain negative. Risks remain, primarily due to geopolitical and trade tensions, while higher military investment in the EU could have a growth-enhancing effect.

Impact of the war in Ukraine and the Middle East

The extended duration of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East represent negative risks for global trends and the economic growth of the Eurozone, which ultimately affects the Croatian economy.

As of the date of this report, the Group has no relationship with, nor exposure to, companies from Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. The Group maintains all business operations in Croatia, to a lesser extentThe Group's

foreign revenues relate to EU countries. Also, the parent company Čakovečki mlinovi Inc. does not have any shareholders from Russia or Belarus, nor does it directlyor indirectly holds ownership interests in entities in those countries.

There is no direct exposure to the mentioned countries. The management continuously considers all risks associated with external geopolitical movements and assesses that these risks do not threaten the stability of the Group's operations.

State price control measures

State price control measures have limited the prices of flour type T-550 smooth and T-400 sharp, wheat bread, instant polenta, Kaiser rolls, and barley porridge from January 31, 2025, which prevents them from having an active pricing policy and indexing costs that affect the price of the final product.
