In 2019, net financial result of the Krka Group amounted to €10.2 million, €40.3 million more than in 2018.
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 value of assets and liabilities in a particular currency in the financial position statement of the Group and from the differences between operating income and expenses generated in individual currencies.
We generally mitigate currency risks of the Krka Group by natural hedging, primarily by increasing purchases and liabilities in currencies in which sales invoices are issued. When this is not possible, we use derivative financial instruments or do not hedge the risk. Generally, forward contracts are used for hedging.
In 2019, Krka continued its policy of partial hedging against the rouble-related risk. Less than 50% of the risk exposure to Russian roubles were hedged by forward contracts.
As the value of the Russian rouble strengthened from the beginning until the end of the year, we generated net foreign exchange gains from the long position in the Russian roubles totalling €24.2 million.
In the fourth quarter, due to increasing exposure to the U.S. dollar, we hedged one part of the exposure by forward contracts.
We accrued net foreign exchange losses from other currencies in the amount of €0.8 million in 2019. Exposure to other currencies was not hedged. A multi-year analysis of exchange rate gains/losses and hedging costs for the Romanian leu, Polish złoty, Czech koruna, Hungarian forint, and Croatian kuna has shown that hedging for these currencies would not be effective in the case of the Krka Group. These currencies are generally subject to less marked fluctuations against the euro. The currency risk management result of the Krka Group was positive and totalled €11.4 million in 201
Financial income of the Krka Group comprised net foreign exchange gains of €23.4 million, interest income of €1.3 million and income from dividends and other profit shares totalling €0.3 million. Financial expenses consisted of interest expenses for borrowings in the amount of €0.5 million, derivative financial instrument expenses of €11.9 million, and other financial expenses of €2.4 million.

Operating Profit and Net Profit for the Year
Operating profit (EBIT) of the Krka Group totalled €274.2 million, a €41.5 million or 18% increase compared to 2018.

Profit before tax of the Krka Group grew by €81.8 million or 40%, and totalled €284.4 million. The effective tax rate of the Krka Group was 14.1%.

We supplemented the range of antivirals with Atazanavir Krka (atazanavir) hard capsules in three strengths. This new medication is indicated for the treatment of HIV infection, as it reduces the viral load in a body and chances of developing the disease. It is used concomitantly with other medicines to treat infected adults and children six years of age and older in a once-daily dose. We obtained marketing authorisations under the centralised procedure in the European countries.
We were granted marketing authorisations for two new pharmaceuticals indicated for the treatment of an enlarged prostate. Tadusta or Twinpros or Dutamyz (dutasteride/tamsulosin) hard capsules are indicated for treating moderate to severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. This single-pill combination reduces the risk of developing acute urinary retention and the need for prostate surgery. Marketing authorisations were also granted for Sidarso or Silbesan (silodosin) hard capsules used to treat the signs of an enlarged prostate. The medicine is taken once daily, does not cause cardiovascular adverse reactions, and can therefore be used in the elderly and patients with cardiovascular diseases.

We were granted marketing authorisations for two combination medicines from the group of products for companion animals. Prinocate or Imoxicate (imidacloprid/moxidectin) is a spot-on solution for dogs and cats. We obtained marketing authorisations for 100 mg/25 mg/ml spot-on for dogs in four filling sizes and 100 mg/10 mg/ml spot-on for cats and ferrets in two filling sizes.

In 2019, the Krka Group allocated €112.6 million to investments, of that €90.5 million to the controlling company. We primarily invested in increasing and technologically advancing production and development, providing quality assurance, and in Krka owned production-and-distribution centres around the world. All projects comply with environmental standards and take into consideration direct and indirect environmental impacts. The approved equipment corresponds to the best available technology as regards environmental protection and energy efficiency, and guarantees safe and efficient operations.
At the beginning of October 2019, an opening ceremony was held for the product development and quality control facility, Razvojno-kontrolni center 4 (RKC 4), in Ločna, Novo mesto. This €55.6 million investment almost doubled our research-and-development and analytical capacities necessary to provide high-quality products. Another important phase in the technological development of Krka has been completed, providing for coordinated operations of research and development, and production and control, essential advantages of our vertically integrated business model.
At the end of 2017, we started building a multi-purpose warehouse to ensure additional storage room for incoming materials and finished products. This will improve production speed and flexibility, product availability and market supply. In December 2019, we passed the last technical inspection and obtained operating permits for all buildings. At the beginning of 2020, Javna agencija Republike Slovenije za zdravila in medicinske pripomočke (JAZMP; Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices of the Republic of Slovenia) carried out the final examination of sampling rooms and transport equipment, so all requirements for the start-up of the multi-purpose warehouse were met. The entire investment was estimated at €36 million.
Notol 2, the state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing solid dosage forms, is also in Ločna, Novo mesto. The increasing demand for additional production capacities has incited us to acquire extra technological equipment. In 2019, we started equipping the new packaging facility. We installed seven highly automated and robotised packaging lines. In the coming two years, we plan to purchase and start up another seven lines. In 2019, we allocated €18 million to equipping the packaging facility. Total investment is estimated at €41 million. After the small-scale production equipment is moved in and large-scale production equipment is installed, the plant will be fully technologically equipped in 2021, and its full production capacity will rise to 5 billion tablets per year.
We increased manufacturing capacities for animal health products with biocidal effect at our Bršljin plant in Novo mesto. This investment totalled €4.2 million.
We purchased an inspection machine to increase the capacity for production of lozenges at our Ljutomer plant. We also upgraded the systems and equipment in one part of the plant. We apportioned €1.9 million to the investment.
In Krško, construction of a new warehouse started in June 2019. The investment will ensure sufficient warehousing capacities for raw materials used in chemical and pharmaceutical production in compliance with the guidelines for spatial separation of hazardous substances of the Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances (TRGS). At the end of 2019, the warehousing facility was constructed to the extent that mechanical and electrical wiring installation works could start. Completion of the €8.2 million building is planned for July 2020.
In February 2019, the European Union introduced new rules for the protection of public health by preventing the entry of falsified medicinal products into the pharmaceutical supply chain. In compliance with the Directive, we introduced obligatory safety features on the outer packaging of medicines, which prevent falsified medicines from reaching patients. We also made several upgrades to technological equipment and production procedures. Over the last three years, we allocated approximately €20 million for the new equipment and technology. Safety measures required by Russian legislation as of 1 July 2020 are also part of this investment.
We constructed a new office building in Ljubljana, which was officially put to use in mid-September 2019. The investment amounted to €12 million.
One of the most important investments in Krka subsidiaries abroad is investment in the Krka-Rus plant in the industrial zone of the town of Istra, north-west of Moscow, where we manufacture slightly more than 2 billion tablets or 72% of products that Krka currently sells in the Russian Federation. We have the status of a domestic producer in the Russian Federation.
In the coming years, we plan to increase manufacturing and laboratory capacities of the existing and partly refurbished premises of Krka-Rus 1 and Krka-Rus 2. One by one, four tablet presses and four packaging lines will be installed and additional microbiological and physico-chemical laboratories set up. The investment is estimated at €33 million.
We completed the €1.7 million investment in production of solid forms of animal health products at the productionand-distribution centre in Jastrebarsko, Croatia. We invested a total of €0.5 million in optimisation of production equipment in our subsidiary TAD Pharma, Germany, and €0.6 million in Krka - Polska.
Several small investments are in progress in business units of the subsidiary Terme Krka.
At the end of 2017, we established a joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo with a local partner Menovo in the city of Ningbo, China. We obtained an EU GMP certificate for the leased production facilities. Commercial manufacture of the first product intended for markets outside China started at the end of 2018, when we also filed all marketing authorisation documents required for the sales in the Chinese market. In 2019, we started manufacturing several products for markets outside China in facilities taken on lease that we additionally equipped with production and control equipment.
At the end of 2019, the Krka Group had 11,696 employees, of which 5997 (51.3%) worked in Slovenia and 5699 (48.7%) abroad. Together with agency workers, the Krka Group had 12,770 persons on payroll, 288 more than at the end of 2018.
The proportion of Krka Group employees with at least university-level qualifications was 52% or 6104 employees. Of that 198 held a doctoral degree, and 388 a master's degree or specialisation.
In 2019, the Krka share price rose by almost 27% and amounted to €73.20 at the end of the year. Market capitalisation of the Company amounted to €2.4 billion.
At the end of 2019, Krka had a total of 48,631 shareholders. The shareholders' structure, with 38.5% of individual Slovenian retail investors and 23% of foreign investors, is stable and without any major changes.
In 2019, Krka acquired 340,805 treasury shares. On 31 December 2019, Krka held 1,234,252 treasury shares, which accounted for 3.764% of the share capital.
In the period from 14 to 24 January 2020, the media cited reports by the Romanian internet portal and newspaper the Libertatea, claiming the press had obtained information on the alleged irregularities that involved employees of a Krka subsidiary, Krka Romania S.R.L., Bucharest (hereafter Krka Romania). On 17 January 2020, we informed the public that we had appointed a special team to review in detail the operations of the Krka subsidiary in relation to the allegations. The internal investigation findings showed that allegations about the corruption in Romania, according to which Krka Romania has acted unlawfully and marketed medications by bribing healthcare professionals, allegedly following the instructions given to the employees of the subsidiary by the controlling company, are not justified. According to the investigation, the subsidiary in Romania received relevant instructions from the controlling company. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that, in the past, a certain individual employee of the subsidiary had violated the bylaws of Krka and contractual obligations arising from the employment relationship. Based on the findings, Krka is implementing measures that also aim to further improve transparency and compliance. The Supervisory Board were informed about the Management Board report and support all measures adopted in relation to this matter.
We have been carefully monitoring the epidemiological situation and new developments in China and elsewhere around the world since the coronavirus outbreak. At the beginning of 2020, even before it spread, we secured sufficient supplies of raw materials and thus made sure that our processes have been uninterrupted as far as possible. In order to prepare for the current situation, we have also taken preventive sanitary, health, and organisational measures to provide suitable conditions for reducing the risk of employee infections and enable business operations without major disruptions.
Following the declaration of a national epidemic and other government actions, the Management Board of the Company adopted additional measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus with the aim to further protect the health of all employees and consequently ensure uninterrupted business operations. This is the primary objective of medicine manufacturers such as Krka, as it is the only way to make sure there is no supply chain disruption or lack of necessary medicines on the global markets while we fight the coronavirus. Krka is a member of the European generics medicines association Medicines for Europe, which also issued a statement calling for implementation of various measures to make sure the production facilities operate without interruption.
The Management Board of the Company carefully monitor new developments in the countries where the Krka Group is present. Through development, quality control, well-organised supply chain, numerous own production facilities, marketing-and-sales activities, and support services, the vertically integrated business model of Krka covers a wide range of processes and activities at the global level. The developments with regard to the spread of the infection, its consequences, and the related measures taken by counties are fast and unpredictable. Currently, the Krka Group does not record any negative impact of the coronavirus on its business operations.
In 2020, Krka acquired 64,220 treasury shares. At the end of March 2020, Krka held 1.298.472 treasury shares, accounting for 3.960% of share capital.
