Commenting on the financial results for 2021, Emil Tedeschi, CEO of Atlantic Grupa, pointed out:
"During 2021, Atlantic Grupa showed a high level of stability, despite economic disruptions caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and difficulties with global supply chains. Atlantic Grupa concluded its jubilee 30 years of operation in 2021 with the historically highest revenues. Organic growth is recorded in all business segments, thanks, among other things, to significant marketing and capital investments, but also to a better epidemiological situation in all markets, easing of measures to prevent the pandemic and significantly better tourist season in Croatia compared to the previous year. Compared to the pre-pandemic 2019, we achieved significant organic sales growth of 9.3%*.
In order to implement the strategy of divesting non-core activities, at the end of June we completely divested the baby food brand Bebi and we found a strategic partner who took over the Mirna production site in Slovenia, where this portfolio was produced. We continued to focus on strengthening the main categories of consumer goods, which include coffee, savoury spreads, salty snacks, chocolate and soft drinks.
Despite the uncertainty of the pandemic development and a number of challenges ahead, we continued with the planned investments, especially investments in Atlantic Štark technology, new forms of packaging and redesign of Cedevita and the new Argeta factory near Varaždin. We are especially proud that in these difficult pandemic times, last year we increased investments in reward models for our employees throughout the group, from the increase in basic salaries and material benefits to investments in variable forms of rewards through increased monthly incentives, inclusion of more employees in annual bonus scheme and the introduction of new models to recognise outstanding achievements and encourage the retention of the best people.
We are particularly pleased with the fact that the capital market recognises our overall result, so in 2021 we had historically record-high share values, and we received the first prize for investor relations. The success of our overall business has been confirmed by numerous independent market researches and numerous awards won by our prominent brands. Excellent results and further deleveraging enabled us to distribute a record-high dividend.
Our main priorities in the coming period and circumstances remain the same – maintaining health and the general well-being of our employees, ensuring the smooth continuation of production and continuous supply of our customers and consumers, and social responsibility in the broadest sense."

1. NEW ARGETA FACTORY
Given the excellent business development and growth plans in the savoury spreads category, Atlantic Grupa decided to invest in the construction of a new factory of products under the Argeta brand in the municipality of Kneginec near Varaždin. The investment, with a total value of more than EUR 50 million began with the purchase of the land and will have several phases, and the new production plant is scheduled to be commissioned within 15 months after obtaining a building permit. The realisation of all phases of the project should create up to 150 new jobs. For the construction of the factory and the accompanying infrastructure, a building plot in the Kneginec business zone of 53,000 square meters was purchased, and the new production plant will feature the highest standards in the food industry and the highest principles of sustainability, especially in environmental protection. The Kneginec business zone was selected for the construction of the new factory based on a number of criteria such as geographical location, transport connections and developed infrastructure, availability of skilled workforce and the possibility of using incentive measures in the form of tax relief, incentives for new employees and incentives for capital costs of the investment project.
2. LAUNCHING TWO NEW BRANDS: JIMMY FANTASTIC AND BOOM BOX
Atlantic Grupa's new business unit, the New Growth, launched our new brand, Jimmy Fantastic, on the markets of Croatia and Slovenia in March. Jimmy Fantastic is a delicious high-quality chocolate for all those looking for a great snack to remember. We listened to the market, figured out what people wanted and decided to make the most generous portion of chocolate. We did everything differently, precisely because Jimmy Fantastic is like that – different. Name, design, packaging, size, flavours… we have created a brand new original brand of chocolate with extremely massive squares for all those who want a bit bigger bite from life. Jimmy Fantastic boasts as many as six creative combinations and inclusions, and some of them are appearing on the domestic market for the first time. So, with Jimmy Fantastic, chocolate lovers will be able to enjoy milk chocolate or its combination with roasted almonds and hazelnuts, a crunchy mix of coconut and cookies, a fusion of salted caramel and brownie, caramelised mini rice, or a wafer enriched with dark chocolate. Jimmy Fantastic is a proud Cocoa Horizons ambassador that promotes the prosperity of cocoa growers, protection of nature and children. We believe that chocolate should be produced in a sustainable way, with programs that empower and protect growers and make the planet a happy place to live.
The other new brand of the New Growth, called Boom Box, was launched in April in retail in Croatia and Slovenia. Boom Box is the new oat-based brand in our markets. Also, Boom Box is the first completely vegan brand without added sugar, and various flavour combinations make it totally delicious. From granola and oatmeal, to biscuits, and plant based drinks, every Boom Box product has the task of changing the perception of oats: oats are no longer the food we have to eat, oats are the food we want to eat – on any occasion. Early mornings, hectic afternoons, quiet evenings, late night fridge raids – all these are opportunities to start changing our eating habits in a nutritionally rich and very tasty way.

3. IN ADDITION TO DIGESTION, DONAT TAKES CARE OF NATURE
With a unique combination of minerals, Donat has been clinically proven to stimulate digestion and thus have a beneficial effect on the whole body. New findings are emerging that about 80% of the cells of the immune system are produced in our digestive system, which gives Donat an even more important role. That's why Donat's new positional slogan is: "Take care of your digestion, take care of yourself". Given the completely natural origin of the product and the requirements of regular users, it was decided that Donat starts to be filled in 100% recycled bottles, which reduced CO2 emissions by as much as 90% compared to the former bottle. Already used plastic bottles are taken from the environment and used as a raw material for the production of bottles, which greatly reduces the environmental burden of plastic. Thus, in Donat we realise our vision of a socially aware, environmentally responsible and sustainable brand. Donat is an expert in the field of healthy digestion and as such it is presented in a new, clean and elegant look.
4. ATLANTIC GRUPA ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST DESIRABLE EMPLOYERS
According to the Employer of First Choice survey conducted by MojPosao, Atlantic Grupa is the fifth most desirable employer in Croatia. The survey conducted during 2020 and 2021 covered almost 20 thousand respondents. Thus, Atlantic Grupa holds the high fifth position on the most desirable employers list for the third consecutive year.
At the Best Employer in Croatia award ceremony held in December 2021, Atlantic Grupa was in the top 3 based on the satisfaction of our employees they stated in an independent engagement survey conducted by the MojPosao portal.
5. ARGETA SPREADS' NEW LOOK
With the new visual solutions, Argeta packaging moves away from the industrial look that prevails with competitors in the category. It adds colour, warmth and story to the cold packaging we are used to, and to meat and fish products. The new look of Argeta's packaging addresses customers in a recognisable way with illustration as the central element, which gives Argeta's packaging a modern look, full of warmth and imagination. Through richly stylised illustration, the packaging will always say something new and introduce customers to the character and story of every flavour. The new design of Argeta's packaging includes more than 20 illustrations that make it easier to find your favourite flavours faster. Through the new approach to branding, the visual identity of the entire range of Argeta's meat and fish spreads has been changed, and the premium lines of Argeta Junior and Argeta Exclusive have been redesigned.
6. ARGETA GACKA TROUT WINS GOLDEN BASKET 2021 AWARD
Argeta Gacka trout, a product developed to help the local fish farm survive the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, was awarded the Product of the Year – Golden Basket 2021 award. The award jury recognised the company's efforts and the initiative of the Argeta brand as an excellent combination of social responsibility and new product development.

Last year, in the midst of the pandemic, Argeta launched a special action to help the Gacka fish farm in Otočac, which was left without most of the trout delivery orders due to restrictions and pandemic measures. Argeta decided to buy all the surplus fresh fish fillets, develop a new fish spread from raw material previously not used – Argeta Gacka trout, and in cooperation with Konzum, as an exclusive retail partner, launch a new product whose added value is not only flavour but also social responsibility. With such a move, Argeta only proves that as a brand it is strongly connected with the local economy in all environments in which it operates. In addition to the cooperation with the fish farm in Croatia, Argeta had a similar cooperation also with fish farms in Slovenia and Serbia.
7. RECORD HIGH DIVIDEND
Following the decision of the Company's General Assembly held on 16 June 2021, the dividend distribution was approved in the amount of HRK 40 per share, i.e. a total of HRK 133,094 thousand, representing the historically highest dividend amount. The dividend was distributed on 7 July 2021.
8. WE CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN THE CHOCOLATE CATEGORY
Atlantic Grupa and Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products, have concluded a collaboration agreement that will improve the production and quality of Atlantic's established portfolio in the chocolate range, under Atlantic Štark brand, which has been present in Serbia since 1922.
This partnership with Barry Callebaut confirms that Atlantic Grupa is focused on further development of its main brands in key categories. Atlantic Štark is the first regional strategic partner of Barry Callebaut and its new factory in Novi Sad. The supply will also include cocoa with Cocoa Horizons certificate, a sustainability initiative whose mission is to improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities through the promotion of sustainable entrepreneurial farming and improved productivity.
9. FIVE AWARDS FOR ARGETA AT 30TH SOF
At this year's jubilee 30th Slovenian Advertising Festival, Argeta won as many as five awards in various categories, of which four silver and one gold.
Argeta Exclusive received 3 awards for the Sound tasting project: a silver award in the Sound and Brand Management category and a gold award in the Innovation category. The Redesign of packaging project was awarded a silver award in the design category, which includes the redesign of packaging of all Argeta products. In the new design, Argeta is adorned with illustrations in a unique collage technique, with which Argeta has moved from the field of industrial design to the field of "craft" products of the highest quality. The We Support Local project also won a silver award. It was developed during the lockdown, when Argeta started the initiative "We Support Local" with which it came to the aid of many local entrepreneurs.
Argeta is among the top 10 brands in Slovenia in terms of the number of awards won.

10. BEBI BRAND DIVESTMENT COMPLETED
The process of divesting the baby food brand Bebi was completed on 30 June 2021. In September 2020, Atlantic Grupa and Nelt Grupa, based in Belgrade, entered into a contract for the sale of the Bebi brand. This is a wide portfolio of products for infants and children marketed primarily on the markets of Russia and other CIS countries, where this brand has been present for more than 35 years. In Russia, Bebi is a symbol of European quality and origin in the segment of cereals for children, and in 2020 it generated EUR 9 million in sales revenue.
In November 2021, Atlantic Grupa signed the agreement on the sale of the production site Mirna in Slovenia with the company Gittis Naturprodukte GmbH from Austria.
The sale of the Bebi brand is a continuation of the process of divesting minor and non-core activities, in line with the Atlantic Grupa's corporate strategy.
11. CEDEVITA IN NEW PRACTICAL PACKAGING
To the delight of the CE generation, Cedevita's new, modern and practical look was launched in the fourth quarter. Listening to the wishes of the Generation CE, Cedevita conducted a survey on their preferences when it comes to packaging. Through hundreds of interviews, consumers have expressed their views on the future, desired packaging of Cedevita.
Taking into account the suggestions of consumers, Cedevita, following the example of the smallest packaging of 200 grams, which consumers rated as the most practical to use, also brought a medium packaging in rigid form. This makes it easier to pour Cedevita directly into a glass or into a smaller package, and it also simplifies refilling by taking on the role of a container. In addition, it is extremely easy to open and close, while maintaining maximum quality and freshness. The largest packaging got a stopper that enables easy and controlled pouring of the consumers' favourite drink directly into a glass, or pouring their favourite Cedevita into a medium or small packaging.
When it comes to the look of the product, Cedevita got a completely new visual identity, which at first glance brings closer the beloved taste of Cedevita that awaits the consumer inside the packaging. By introducing fruit motives on the packaging of all five flavours, their look has been modernized.
With unmatched quality, unsurpassed flavours and a unique combination of refreshing taste and 9 vitamins, Cedevita will continue to win the hearts of the Generation CE.

In 2021, Atlantic Grupa recorded sales of HRK 5.7 billion, which is an 8.6% growth compared to the previous year. The revenue growth is recorded in all business and distribution units following excellent sales results of the majority of own and principal brands. The highest percentage growth was recorded by the Strategic business unit Beverages, the Business unit Donat and the pharmacy chain Farmacia. After the poorer first quarter (due to significant restrictions in the operations of the HoReCa channel at the beginning of the year), the sales growth was realised in the rest of the year due to a better epidemiological situation on all markets, and the easing of measures to prevent the spread of the pandemic, and a significantly better tourist season in Croatia, compared to the previous year. If we exclude the effect of sales of the divested business, the baby food brand Bebi, which was fully divested at the end of June, organic sales growth would be 9.4%***. It is important to note that comparable sales were 9.3% above the level achieved in 2019***.
Atlantic Grupa records sales by business segments in a way that sales of individual Strategic Business Units and Business Units represent the total sales to third parties in the markets (either directly from a Strategic Business Unit (SBU) or Business Unit (BU), or through a Strategic Distribution Unit (SDU), Distribution Unit (DU) or Global Distribution Account Management (GDAM)), while sales of Strategic Distribution Units, Distribution Units and Global Distribution Account Management include both sales of external principals' products and sales of own products. Comparative period has been adjusted to reflect the reporting for 2021.

The STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT COFFEE records a significant sales growth primarily as a result of the increase in sales in all regional markets, with the highest growth recorded in the markets of Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Analysed by categories, growth was recorded by all categories, with the most significant growth recorded by roast and ground coffee under the Grand kafa and Bonito brands,
and Barcaffé, coffee for on-the-go consumption, instant coffee and Barcaffé Perfetto capsules. Espresso coffee records a significant growth primarily as a consequence of the acquisition of Procaffe and the increase in sales of espresso coffee under the Barcaffé brand following the easing of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the HoReCa channel. It should be noted that we record additional 1,207 locations in the HoReCa channel, which is a significant growth compared to 2020, primarily due to acquisitions in the markets of Croatia and Serbia. Compared to 2019, the SBU Coffee records an increase in sales of 5.3%.

The STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT SAVOURY SPREADS recorded an increase in sales due to the excellent business results primarily in Western markets (Germany, Austria, the United States of America and Switzerland) and the market of Kosovo (due to the return of diaspora after two years), and the market of Russia, which fully cancelled out the decrease in sales in the market of Slovenia, caused by high sales of this segment
in the previous year. Growth was recorded both in meat and fish savoury spreads segments. Also, jams and ajvar under the Granny's Secret brand and sandwiches under the Montana brand record doubledigit sales growth. Savoury Spreads recorded as much as 22.0% higher sales compared to 2019.

Revenue growth in this segment was also impacted by the
significant easing of measures in the HoReCa channel, primarily in the second part of the year, and a successful tourist season in Croatia, the dominant market of this business segment. Compared to 2019, the comparable* sales are only 0.2% lower, primarily due to restrictions in the operations of the HoReCa channel.

The STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT PHARMA records a double-digit sales growth of the pharmacy chain Farmacia due to a significant sales growth primarily in the second quarter (easing of measures to prevent the spread of the pandemic which were in force in the same period of the previous year) and in the last quarter, due to the worsening of the epidemiological situation (the fourth wave) and the consequent increased demand
for the COVID-19 range (drugs, disinfectants, tests, protective equipment). The above mentioned growth fully cancelled out the decrease in sales of the divested brand Bebi in the Russian market. If we exclude the effect of Bebi brand sales, the sales of this unit record a significant growth of 12.7%*.
* Certain financial measures are not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). For more details on the Alternative Performance Measures (APM) used, see chapter "Definition and reconciliation of Alternative Performance Measures".

brand, roast and ground coffee under the Barcaffé brand, flips under the Smoki brand and functional water Donat. A significant growth was recorded also by the HoReCa channel, primarily due to excellent results of Cedevita and Barcaffé espresso. Among principal brands, the most significant growth was recorded by Ferrero, Phillips and Mars.

The sales are 7.6% higher compared to 2019.
OTHER SEGMENTS record sales growth in the distribution units Austria, Macedonia and the Global Distribution Account Management, and in the new business unit New Growth, which fully cancelled out the decrease in sales recorded in the distribution unit Russia following the decrease in sales of the divested baby food brand Bebi. If we exclude the effect of sales of the Bebi brand, Other segments record an 11.1%* growth. Also, the sales are 31.8%* higher compared to 2019.
The DISTRIBUTION UNIT MACEDONIA recorded an increase in sales due to the increase in sales of own and principal brands. Own brands are led by the sales growth of Argeta in the savoury spreads segment, roast and ground coffee under the Grand kafa brand, the Cedevita brand in the beverages segment, and flips under the Smoki brand in the snacks segment. Among principals, Ferrero and Hipp stand out.

The DISTRIBUTION UNIT AUSTRIA records double-digit growth rates, mainly due to the growth of own brands, primarily Argeta in the savoury spreads segment, and Smoki, Bananica and Prima sticks in the snacks segment.
The GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT records a significant sales growth, with the biggest growth recorded by the markets of Germany, the Unites States of America, Switzerland, and France in the savoury spreads segment under the Argeta brand and flips under the Smoki brand in the snacks segment.
The DISTRIBUTION UNIT RUSSIA records a decrease in sales as a consequence of the decrease in sales of baby food under the Bebi brand which was partially cancelled out by the double-digit growth in sales of Argeta in the savoury spreads segment, and functional water Donat. If we exclude the effect of sales of the divested brand Bebi, the sales of this unit grew by 11.9%.

Usporedno razdoblje prilagođeno je izvještavanju za 2021. godinu.
In 2021, OWN BRANDS recorded sales of HRK 3,571.1 million, which is a 7.1% growth, following the growth of almost all categories. The greatest contribution to the growth was made by: (i) Argeta in the savoury spreads segment, (ii) Grand kafa in the coffee segment, (iii) Smoki and Bananica in the snacks segment, (iv) Cedevita and Cockta in the beverages segment, and (v) functional water Donat.

With sales of HRK 1,599.9 million, PRINCIPAL BRANDS record a significant growth of 10.8%. The growth is mainly based on the increase in sales of principals Ferrero, Phillips, Rauch and Red Bull.
A significant 12.1% growth was recorded by the pharmacy chain FARMACIA, with sales of HRK 531.5 million, due to the increase in sales of the existing Farmacia locations, the easing of measures to prevent the spread of the pandemic and higher sales following the increased demand for drugs, disinfectants, tests and protective equipment as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, 4 new retail units were opened. As at 31 December 2021, Farmacia consists of 96 pharmacies and specialised stores (including the webshop).

In 2021, EBITDA amounts to HRK 724.4 million, which is a 1.1% increase compared to the previous year, or a 2.7% decrease if we exclude the effect of one-off items.
One-off items amounted to HRK 10.6 million, which is significantly less than the last-year's HRK 38.6 million, most of which related to the costs connected with the pandemic, mainly donations we made for the purpose of preventing the spread of the pandemic and treatment of patients.
The decrease in normalised EBITDA was most significantly affected by higher average prices of a large number of production materials, higher transportation and logistics costs, due diligence costs related to an acquisition that has not been realised, and a significantly higher investments in marketing activities and human resources. These negative effects are partly mitigated by the increase in sales of all business and distribution units, with the most prominent sales growth of the Strategic Business Units Beverages, the Business Unit Donat, and the pharmacy chain Farmacia, and by the divestment of the baby food brand Bebi.
In addition to the described above, normalized net profit records a 2.0% decrease despite lower interest expense and positive effect of foreign exchange differences, primarily due to the mild appreciation of the Croatian kuna against the Euro.

| Total operating expenses* | 5,347.8 | 93.8% | 4,886.5 | 93.0% | 9.4% |
The cost of goods sold records a significant increase due to higher sales of principal brands.
Costs of production materials record an increase due to higher sales of own products and higher average prices of a large number production materials, primarily edible oil, raw coffee and packaging materials.
Energy costs increased due to higher production of own products and higher energy prices.
Costs of services record a significant increase due to higher transport and logistics costs, as a consequence of higher sales, and higher IT system maintenance costs (following the launch of many new projects) and production equipment and other external services, including advisory services.
The highest share of the increase in staff costs relates to the increase in investments in reward models for our employees, from the increase in basic salaries and material benefits to investments in variable forms of rewards through increased monthly incentives, inclusion of more employees in annual bonuses and the introduction of new models to recognise outstanding achievements and encourage the retention of the best people. In addition, in 2021 we significantly increased the investments in training and education of our staff, using all the learning and development advantages offered by the digital technologies, such as for example e-learning, so, as per the number of training per employee, we had a record year. In 2021, Atlantic Grupa had on average 5,460 employees, or 52 employees more compared to the previous year.
Marketing expenses are significantly higher due to higher investments in marketing in almost all business units (last year investments were lower due to extraordinary circumstances caused by the pandemic) and significant investments in two new brands.

Other operating expenses include HRK 22.0 million of one-off expenses, which is significantly less than the last-year's HRK 41.6 million. This year's amount primarily relates to provisions for contingent legal claims, while the majority of the last year's amount relates to costs connected with the pandemic (mainly donations). When these one-off expenses are excluded, other operating expenses record a decrease due to lower impairment of trade receivables and inventories.
Other (gains)/losses – net: Profit realised primarily on the basis of fair value of financial (forward) instruments in the coffee segment.

STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNITS AND BUSINESS UNIT: The SBU Coffee recorded somewhat better profitability as a result of higher sales and a more favourable gross margin, despite higher price of coffee and packaging material and higher marketing investments and staff costs. The SBU Savoury Spreads recorded a decrease in profitability due to higher prices of raw materials, marketing investments and staff costs, despite the sales growth. The SBU Snacks recorded a profitability growth due to higher sales and lower marketing investments, despite higher prices of raw materials and staff costs. The SBU Beverages recorded a significant profitability growth due to higher sales, despite higher prices of raw materials, higher marketing investments, higher transportation, logistics and staff costs. The SBU Pharma recorded a significantly higher profitability due to higher sales of the pharmacy chain Farmacia and divestment of the baby food Bebi. The BU Donat recorded an increase in profit due to higher sales, despite higher price of packaging material and higher marketing investments.
STRATEGIC DISTRIBUTION UNITS: The significant profitability increase in all three Strategic Distribution Units is a result of higher sales, despite higher transportation and logistics costs, and staff costs.
OTHER SEGMENTS: If we exclude the above mentioned one-off items of HRK 10.7 million (last year HRK 38.6 million), Other segments record a decrease in profitability as a consequence of initial investments in new brands, higher costs of central functions and the effect of divesting the Bebi brand in the DU Russia, despite the increase in profitability of the DU Austria, GDAM, DU Macedonia.
The comparative period has been adjusted to the reporting for za 2021.

- The indebtedness measured as the net debt to normalised EBITDA ratio dropped from 1.0 at the end of 2020 to 0.6 at the end of 2021.
- Free cash flow records an increase due to a significantly higher cash flow from operating activities and somewhat lower capital expenditure.

* Certain financial measures are not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). For more details on the Alternative Performance Measures (APM) used, see chapter "Definition and reconciliation of Alternative Performance Measures".

OVERVIEW OF KEY ITEMS IN THE CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Cash flow from operating activities records an increase, primarily as a result of improved profitability, positive movements in the working capital and lower cash outflows related to financing, despite higher cash outflows related to taxes.
Capital expenditure in 2021 was realised in line with the Atlantic Grupa's Strategic guidelines. The pandemic situation affected the timely construction of factory plants and installations. Global disruptions in the supply chain are evident, especially in the supply of electronic components, which caused delays in the delivery of equipment by our suppliers. These pandemic effects directly affected our financial realisation of the capital expenditure plan. Delays in the realisation of the capital expenditure projects do not negatively impact our business.
Among significant investments, we should mention:
-
SBU BEVERAGES: Finalised installation of the new line for rigid and flexible packaging of Cedevita and its commissioning and beginning of production in the new innovative packaging. Initialised investment project for the optimisation of PET packaging aimed at decreasing the weight of individual PET packaging.
-
SBU COFFEE: Finalised installation of the Coffee2Go and HoReCa equipment for coffee preparation at points of sale. Investment projects related to raising technological level of production and filling of coffee in production locations in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia.
-
SBU SAVOURY SPREADS: Finalised investment in the reconstruction and improvement of the line for the production and packaging of savoury spreads in Izola. Reconstruction of the automatic high shelf warehouse made. Initialised preparation of project technical documentation for the construction of the new factory in Varaždin.
-
SBU SNACKS: A trial run of a new chocolate moulding line and a new chocolate packaging line completed. Additional investments in advanced technical solutions for the production of Jimmy Fantastic chocolate. Initiated realisation of the strategic investment project in the production of biscuits and wafers at the production sites in Belgrade and Ljubovija.
-
BU DONAT: Finalised investment in the system for labelling/serialisation of products in line with the requirements of the market of the Russian Federation.
-
SBU PHARMA: Multiple investments in equipment of stores in the pharmacy chain Farmacia.
-
IT: Investments in digital infrastructure and technologies. Initiated implementation of S4 ERP system in all companies of Atlantic grupa – the first implementation in the SBU Coffee/Atlantic Grand Beograd. Among other things, we launched the investments in the digitalisation of the procure to pay (P2P) system and the global master data management (MDM) system.

STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE: RECORD-HIGH MARKET CAPITALISATION
Unlike the previous year, in the first half of 2021 the capital market recorded strong growth due to economic recovery and the return of optimism. Despite a better and more encouraging beginning of the year, somewhat weaker activity in the capital market was recorded in the second half of the year. The indices grew in double digits, with CROBEX10 growing by +16.0% and CROBEX growing by +19.6%. At the same time, the Atlantic Grupa's share recorded a significant growth of as much as +25.4%.

Among the components of CROBEX10, with the market capitalisation of HRK 5,601.6 million, Atlantic Grupa d.d. holds the second place.

MANAGEMENT'S VIEW ON MACROECONOMIC EXPECTATIONS
In 2021, the Croatian economy recorded a strong recovery due to a successful tourist season thanks to a more favourable epidemiological situation. This year, in addition to the continued development of the epidemiological situation, will be marked by the impact of rising inflation and disruptions in supply chains. Also, the year will be marked by Croatia's preparations for joining the eurozone at the beginning of 2023. Despite all these challenges and assuming a good tourist season, the management of Atlantic Grupa expects the continuation of solid growth rates of the Croatian economy in 2022.
After the strong recovery of the region in 2021, the management expects further economic growth in the region in 2022, but this growth will be significantly weaker than last year. The main generator of Slovenian growth will be public investments, boosted by EU funds, and strong domestic demand due to improvements in the labour market, rising salaries in the private sector and increased pensions. Also, solid growth of the Serbian economy is expected, which will be supported by public investments in infrastructure, health and green projects, as well as increased domestic demand.
Eurozone economies also continued their recovery after a significant slowdown in economic activity in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, we expect somewhat more modest growth in the eurozone due to the continuation of the pandemic, strong inflationary pressures and the crisis of the global supply chain. We expect a full recovery of the eurozone GDP to pre-crisis levels only at the end of 2023.
After a significant contraction in 2020, the Russian economy has recovered strongly and reached prepandemic levels. Despite a successful 2021, we expect weak economic growth in 2022 as a result of modest growth in domestic demand, coupled with pandemic, inflationary and especially geopolitical risks.
ATLANTIC GRUPA'S MANAGEMENT STRATEGIC GUIDANCE FOR 2022
Following the relatively optimistic forecasts of economic growth, more favourable epidemiological situation, significant marketing and capital investments in our brands, but also increases in our sales prices, we expect that in 2022 we will exceed HRK 6 billion in sales revenue for the first time.
Already in 2021, there was a significant increase in the price of a large portion of our raw materials and packaging materials, logistics and other services and energy, but due to Atlantic Grupa's successful purchasing strategy and partly due to the dynamics of price increases, most of the negative effects will be realized only during 2022.
In the mentioned price increases, raw coffee particularly stands out. The raw coffee market in 2021 experienced a sharp increase in the price of raw coffee, due to the drought that hit Brazil during the coffee ripening period, and then the severe frost that hit coffee areas in Brazil in late July 2021. All these problems with the lack of raw coffee were followed by the situation with difficult logistics and transportation of raw coffee from all origins, which further raised the price of raw coffee. It is expected that the situation with logistics will not improve by the end of 2022. Accordingly, and combined with the unfavourable US dollar exchange rate, we expect that our cost of raw coffee, together with purchase incidentals, will increase by more than 50%.
There was also a double-digit increase in prices for aluminium, plastic and paper packaging, flour, sugar, citric acid, raw materials based on milk, vegetable oil and fats, and there is almost no raw material whose price has not risen by at least 5%.

We will annul part of these price increases by increasing our sales prices, but we consider it appropriate that in the conditions of high inflation and a significant impact on the living standards of our consumers we absorb much of it and, accordingly, we expect normalized EBITDA margin in 2022 to be approximately 170-230 basis points lower than it was in 2021.
We believe that the problems in supply chains and prices of energy, raw materials and packaging materials will stabilize in the foreseeable future and that profit margins will from 2023 return to the previous levels or at least get closer to them.
Regardless of the pressure on profitability, we plan to intensify capital investments, especially due to the start of construction of the new Argeta factory near Varaždin, and we expect total capital investments of HRK 320 to 370 million.
In 2022, in addition to the focus on addressing the challenges of high inflation and supply chain problems, management will continue to focus on (i) strengthening the position of prominent regional brands, (ii) internationalisation of certain brands, primarily Argeta and Donat, (iii) creating new brands that will drive new growth, (iv) development of distribution operations by strengthening the existing and acquiring new principals, and (v) possible mergers and acquisitions.

The Annual report, half-year report, quarterly report and other communication to investors contain certain financial performance measures, which are not defined by International financial reporting standards (IFRS). We believe these measures, along with comparable IFRS measurements, are useful to investors because they provide a basis for measuring our operating and financial performance.
The main APMs used by Atlantic Grupa are defined and/or reconciled with our IFRS measures in this document.
ORGANIC SALES GROWTH COMPARED TO 2020
Organic sales growth refers to the increase in sales for the period after removing the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, change of scope of activity and other major items affecting comparability of operating results. We believe this measure provides valuable additional information on the sales performance and provides comparability of operating result.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)
Since DU Macedonia, DU Russia, DU Austria, Global distribution network management and BU New Growth do not meet quantitative thresholds, required by IFRS 8 for reportable segments, they are reported within "Other segments". The "Other segments" category comprises also of non-allocable business activities (headquarters and support functions in all markets of Atlantic Grupa) which are excluded from the reportable operating segments.
Strategic Management Council monitors the operating results of its business units separately for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss. Group financing and income taxes are managed on Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
Sales of individual business units represent in market sales made to third parties (either directly through business units or through distribution units). Distribution units' sales includes sales of own products also reported as business units' sales. This double counting of own product sales is eliminated in the "Reconciliation" line. For segmental profit calculation, sales between operating segments are carried out at arm's length.
