ASSESSMENT OF RISKS AND ADMINISTRATIVE BODY

Early Risk Detection Committee was formed to detect the risks that may compromise the existence early, growth and continuation of our company, to implement the necessary measures against the risks detected, and to perform studies to manage risks.

Financial Risks:

The operating capital need of our company is met by its shareholders’ equity, short- and long-term bank loans in Turkish Lira and foreign currencies, and debt instruments. The increases in exchange rates and interests as a result of possibility of negative market conditions increase the financing costs of the company. Thus, due to economic and geopolitical developments both in the World and in our country, it is expected that the fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates will adversely affect our profitability. For the purpose of managing the interest risks the company is exposed to, the gains and losses to occur in case of potential changes in interests are measured using sensitivity analyses on the basis of credit portfolio and cash flow projections. In addition, efforts are made to keep the floating rate loans among the total loans at a reasonable rate. Derivative products may be used for protection against exchange risks that may result from both bank loans in foreign currencies and purchases in foreign currencies.

Credit Risk of Customers:

The distribution and payment terms of trade receivables are of great importance in terms of risk management. The company tries to decrease receivable risk by performing its transactions only with credible parties, and wherever possible, obtaining securities. While transactions are carried out without any security with Group A customers, securities are requested from Group B and Group C customers such as bank letters of guarantee or collaterals. To minimize the credit risks the company is exposed to, the financial statuses, credit limits and securities of customers are monitored on a regular basis by the Credit Committee.

Strategic Risks:

The drug pricing policy set/to be set by the Ministry of Health (increase in institution discount rates and/or reduction in reference prices, non-revision of the reference exchange rate) may have negative effects on the industry, and consequently on our company. We try to overcome these negative effects by means of new markets, increasing product range, new sales policies, and effectively managed cost-limiting policies.

Operational Risks:

Operational risks are related with events affecting activities such as earthquakes, fire, and environmental accidents and smooth functioning of business processes. Insurable risks are revised on an annual basis and excluded by being insured.

The explanations regarding the developments that significantly affected the Company's activities in this period are presented above. For other information, you can access the Annual Report of 2022 at www.deva.com.tr
