Krka Group Development Strategy

The Krka Group updates its development strategy every two years. In November 2018, the Management Board of Krka adopted the 2019–2022 development strategy for the Krka Group, and presented it to the Supervisory Board.

The achievement of strategic objectives is measured at three levels: i) the Krka Group, ii) product and service groups, and iii) business functions. The Group performance criteria are

Key Strategic Objectives up to 2022

  • To attain at least 5% average annual sales growth in terms of volume and/or value.
  • To provide sufficient quantities of manufactured products through an efficient and optimised development-and-production chain in accordance with the required quality standards in a timely manner and in line with target sales growth and market needs.
  • To keep the focus on maximising the long-term profitability of the products sold from development and production to sales of finished products, including all other functions within the Krka Group.
  • To ensure growth by acquisitions and long-term partnerships (including joint ventures) in addition to organic growth, when interesting and available target companies become available. The primary goals are to secure new products and/or markets.

Key Strategic Guidelines up to 2022

  • To focus primarily on European, Chinese, and central Asian markets.
  • To maximise sales potential in all sales regions (Slovenia, South-East Europe, East Europe, Central Europe, West Europe, Overseas Markets).
  • To focus especially on key markets (the Russian Federation, Western Europe, Poland, Slovenia, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Croatia), with an emphasis on key customers and key products.
  • To include certain markets of the Region Overseas Markets among the key markets.
  • To establish and strengthen our presence in Western European markets by operating through our own marketing-and-sales

monitored by the Management Board, while criteria at the levels of product and service groups and business functions are monitored by the relevant committees. The guiding principle in managing the system of criteria is to increase the competitiveness of the Krka Group as a whole and also of individual companies within the Group.

The key Krka Group objectives and strategies up to 2022 are set out below.

  • To maintain the largest possible proportion of new products in total sales in addition to the existing range of products, also referred to as 'the golden standard'.
  • To maintain the largest possible proportion of vertically integrated products.
  • To launch a selected product portfolio in selected key target markets as the first generic pharmaceutical company.
  • To increase the competitive advantage of our product portfolio.
  • To improve the cost-effective use of all assets.
  • To increase the degree of innovation across all business functions.
  • To maintain independence.

subsidiaries and by marketing products under our own brands (Krka and TAD Pharma).

  • To seek opportunities for acquisitions of local pharmaceutical companies, business acquisitions, and various types of long-term partnerships (joint ventures) in selected markets with the primary objective of attaining new products and thus entering new therapeutic areas and/or markets.
  • To strengthen the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors and increase the range of medicines in three key therapeutic areas of prescription pharmaceuticals (medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, the central nervous system, and the alimentary tract and metabolism) as well as in other promising therapeutic areas (analgesics and oncology medicines, antidiabetics, antivirals, and

antibiotics) while entering new therapeutic areas. We will introduce innovative products in key therapeutic areas (innovative fixed-dose combinations of two or three active ingredients, strengths, pharmaceutical forms, and new delivery systems).

  • To strengthen the range of non-prescription products and animal health products (primarily products for companion animals) in selected therapeutic areas.
  • To enter the market of similar biological medicines.
  • To further develop health resorts and tourist services, and seek strategic partners outside the Krka Group.
  • To strengthen vertical integration from product development to manufacture.
  • To ensure a permanent supply of incoming materials and optimise supply. Our aim is the continuous reduction of purchase prices.
  • To increase the proportions of research, development, and production of certain active ingredients and finished products outside Krka (outsourcing).
  • To develop generic medicines and prepare relevant registration documents before the product patent on the original medicine expires.
  • To strengthen all types of connections in the field of development and other fields as well as with external institutions and companies.
  • To ensure functioning and continuous improvement of the integrated management and quality systems, which provide for the manufacture of safe, effective, and quality products in accordance with cGXP guidelines and regulations on quality in the pharmaceutical industry.
  • To invest in production, development, and infrastructure facilities in a stable and optimal manner.

Krka Group Business Objectives for 2019

  • Sales outside Slovenia are expected to account for over 93% of total sales.
  • Prescription pharmaceuticals remain the most important product group, comprising 81% of overall sales.
  • Profit is planned at €172 million.
  • To reduce the impact of financial risks on the Krka Group operations.
  • To pursue a stable dividend policy and also consider the Group's financial requirements for investments and acquisitions when determining the net profit share for dividend payout each year, and to allocate at least 50% of net profit of major shareholders for dividend payouts.
  • To introduce information technology and provide high availability and information security of implemented IT solutions effectively and in accordance with the regulatory standards.
  • To continue the digitisation of operations: introduce information (digital) technology in business processes due to automation and optimisation of processes and procedures, support or strengthen cooperation within the Krka Group and in the entire supply chain, and acquire relevant information for business decisions. Our aim is to offer customers added value.
  • To strengthen professional and cost synergies within the Krka Group, and maximise the utilisation of competitive advantages in the business environments of Krka subsidiaries abroad.
  • To strengthen internationalisation within the Krka Group by managing employee potential in an international environment and ensure the activation of all human resource potential.
  • To meet our economic, social, and environmental responsibilities to the environments in which we operate.
  • To strengthen corporate integrity and operate in accordance with legislation, rules, ethical principles and good practices.
  • To ensure business coherence and transparency, and enhance the visibility and positive image of the Krka Group.
  • The total number of employees in Slovenia and abroad is projected to grow by 4%. This rise is partially expected due to transfers of agency workers to Krka.
  • We plan to allocate more than €124 million to investments, primarily for expanding and modernising production facilities and infrastructure.
  • The Management Board will be committed to Krka exceeding the planned objectives.

BUSINESS REPORT

Financial Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Krka Group operates in diverse international environments and is exposed to foreign exchange risks in certain markets. Currency exposure arises from a surplus of assets over liabilities in a particular currency in the statement of financial position of the Group, and from differences between operating income and expenses generated in various currencies.

The key policy of the Krka Group remains to mitigate foreign currency exposure primarily by natural hedging. We also use derivative financial instruments; however, only to a limited extent. Krka intends to continue its policy of partial hedging against the rouble-related risk in 2019.

In the first quarter, the US central bank (the Federal Reserve) gradually reduced its forecasts about the interest rate increase in 2019, which positively impacted global capital markets and indirectly currency values of emerging markets as well as the oil price.

In addition to positive mood in global capital markets, the Russian rouble was also supported by the restrictive monetary policy of the Central Bank of

Interest Rate Risk

In the first quarter of 2019, the Krka Group was not exposed to changes in reference interest rates, because the Group had no non-current loans.

Credit Risk

The key credit risk of the Krka Group relates to receivables due from end customers; this is the risk that a client might fail to settle liabilities by maturity dates.

The Krka Group introduced a centralised credit control process, which involves all clients with whom annual sales of Krka exceed €100,000. At the end of the first quarter of 2019, trade receivables included in the credit control process accounted for the Russian Federation and reduced geopolitical risks related to economic sanctions against Russia.

In the first quarter, the value of the Russian rouble expressed in euros increased by 9.4% compared to the beginning of 2019, while the average value of the rouble decreased by 6.6% compared to the same period last year.

In the first three months of this year, the Brent oil price in the US dollars rose by one fourth.

In this period, we generated net foreign exchange gains from currency exposure, primarily due to strengthening of the Russian rouble.

In the first quarter of 2019, we recorded no particularities in currency exposure of the Krka Group to other currencies.

Taking into account net foreign exchange differences, gains or losses relating to derivative financial instruments and interest rates, as well as other financial revenue and expenses, net financial result was positive and totalled €9.3 million in the first quarter of 2019.

more than 90% of total trade receivables and involved more than 400 clients.

The Krka Group recorded a low value of receivable write-offs and impairments also because receivables are dispersed across a large number of clients and sales markets, and the majority of outstanding receivables are payable by clients with whom Krka has been doing business for years.

Our credit risk management policy remained unchanged in the first quarter of 2019. We

especially closely monitored and adequately insured trade receivables from clients in the markets with less favourable macroeconomic environment and markets in which we detected increased risks relating to distribution of medicines.

At the end of the first quarter of 2019, more than 60% of trade receivables were insured with a credit insurance company, and only a small portion of trade receivables was insured with banking instruments.

At the end of the first quarter, total value of trade receivables in euros increased by 8% compared to the beginning of the year, which is primarily due to sales growth in the period.

The maturity structure of receivables remained stable. The percentage of overdue receivables relative to total trade receivables remained low at the end of the first quarter.

Liquidity Risk

In the first quarter of 2019, risks related to liquidity of the Krka Group were managed by effective shortterm cash flow planning. Short-term liquidity was ensured through a stable cash flow, by pre-agreed short-term revolving and fixed borrowings from banks, and the daily, rolling weekly, monthly and longer-term planning and monitoring of cash inflows and outflows. We optimised cash balances on subsidiaries' bank accounts.

Liquidity risk is estimated to be low. All our liabilities in the period were settled regularly and on time.

Property, Liability and Business Interruption Insurance

In the observed period, Krka concluded new insurance contracts for 2019 and extended liability insurance for Management and Supervisory Board members at the end of March. Although the extent of property insured increased, the fire insurance

Investor and Share Information

In the first three months of 2019, the price of Krka share on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange rose by 0.3%. In this period, the proportion of treasury shares increased, Slovenian natural persons and premium grew slower than the property increased, which is the result of successful negotiations and insurance optimisation. In 2019, Krka included cyber insurance for the first time.

Research and Development

In the first quarter of 2019, we introduced two new medicines, a prescription medicine Atazanavir Krka (atazanavir) hard capsules and an animal health

Prescription Pharmaceuticals

We extended the range of prescription pharmaceuticals by our new antiviral Atazanavir Krka (atazanavir) hard capsules in three strengths. The medicine is used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection as it reduces the viral burden in a body and chances for development of the disease. It is used in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of infected adults and paediatric patients 6 years of age and older. It is taken once daily. Marketing authorisations for the medicine were obtained under the European decentralised procedures in several European countries.

In the European markets, we obtained marketing authorisations for our established medicines. We completed the decentralised procedures for two our cardiovascular medicines, Amlodipine/Valsartan Krka (amlodipine/valsartan) film-coated tablets and Valtricom (amlodipine/ valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide) film-coated tablets. Additionally, we obtained marketing authorisations for two antipsychotic agents, Paliperidone Krka (paliperidone) prolonged-release tablets and Kventiax/Quetiapin Krka (quetiapine) film-coated tablets and prolonged-release tablets. We introduced a non-prescription product Rabeprazole Krka (rabeprazole) gastroresistant tablets for the treatment of certain stomach problems. In Finland, we are the only provider of this medicine sold as a non-prescription product. Febuxostat Krka (febuxostat) film-coated tablets indicated for the treatment of chronic hyperuricaemia received a marketing authorisation under the centralised procedure.

We introduced our established medicines from various therapeutic classes in certain new Eastern European markets. We expanded marketing opportunities for medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We introduced fixed-dose combinations Niperten Combi (amlodipine/ bisoprolol) tablets in Kazakhstan, and Valodip (valsartan/amlodipine) film-coated tablets in Kyrgyzstan.

product Awazom (amoxicillin) powder. We expanded marketing opportunities for many products in all our regions.

Additionally, we obtained a marketing authorisation for a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Dekenor (dexketoprofen) solution for injection in Ukraine. In Azerbaijan, we introduced a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent Etoriax (etoricoxib) film-coated tablets. We obtained marketing authorisations for medicines for the treatment of the alimentary tract, Emanera (esomeprazole) gastroresistant capsules in Azerbaijan, and Ulcavis (bismuth subcitrate) filmcoated tablets in Belarus.

In the markets of South-Eastern Europe, we extended marketing opportunities for our key products from various therapeutic classes. We received marketing authorisations for pharmaceuticals from the central nervous system range: Helex (alprazolam) tablets in Montenegro, Helex SR (alprazolam) prolonged-release tablets in Albania, and Zalastan (olanzapine) tablets in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Non-Prescription Products

We expanded marketing opportunities for our key non-prescription product brands.

We expanded marketing opportunities for our cold and flu products Septolete Total (benzydamine chloride/cetylpyridinium chloride). We obtained marketing authorisations for honey-and-lemon flavour lozenges in Uzbekistan and the Republic of

Animal Health Products

We expanded our portfolio of animal health products for farm animals. We obtained marketing authorisations under the European decentralised procedure for our new medicine Awazom (amoxicillin) powder for use in drinking water. The medicine is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections in poultry, ducks, and pheasant.

We increased marketing opportunities for our animal health product for companion animals, Fleaway Combo (fipronil/S-methoprene) spot-on solution for protection against and treatment of external parasite infections in dogs, cats, and ferrets. We obtained a marketing authorisation for the product in the United Kingdom.

Investments

In the first quarter of 2019, the Krka Group allocated €23.7 million to investments, of which €19.6 million to the controlling company. We invested primarily in the increase and technological upgrade of production and development, and in quality assurance. Investments were also made in our own production and distribution centres around the world.

Key investment in development and quality assurance in the upcoming years is the €54 million product-development-and-quality-control facility, Razvojno-kontrolni center 4 (Slovene abbreviation: RKC 4), at the production site in Novo mesto. Construction of the 18,000-square-metre building was completed at the end of 2016. Setting-up of the laboratory rooms was finished in 2017, while additional furnishing of the rooms intended for development is in its final stage. Equipment installation will continue to be installed in the first half of 2019.

North Macedonia, and for elder-and-lemon flavour lozenges in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

In Albania, we received the marketing authorisation for Flebaven (diosmin) 500 mg film-coated tablets used for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency.

In Kazakhstan, we expanded our product portfolio for farm animals by the approval for a combination of vitamins and minerals (including selenium) Solvimin Selen oral powder indicated for the treatment of hypovitaminosis or as a supportive therapy for infections caused by stress in all farm animals. In Serbia, we obtained marketing authorisations for Floron (florfenicol) premix for medicated feed indicated for the treatment of infections of the respiratory tract in pigs and Santiola (closantel) solution for injection indicated for the treatment of parasitic gastrointestinal infestations in cattle and sheep.

At the end of 2017, Krka started building a multipurpose warehouse at the same location to provide for additional storage room for incoming materials and finished products. This will increase the speed and flexibility of production as well as improve product availability and market supply.

The start-up of the entire transport system and warehouse is planned for January 2020. The entire investment is estimated at €36 million.

Notol 2, the state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing solid dosage forms and Slovenian 2018 Factory-ofthe-Year winner, is also located in Ločna, Novo mesto. In order to meet the increasing demand and manufacture new products, Krka purchases additional technological equipment, in 2019 planned at total of €16 million. When the plant is fully equipped, it will be able to operate at its planned volume, i.e. 5 billion tablets per year.

We increased manufacturing capacities for animal health products with biocidal effect in the Bršljin plant in Novo mesto. This investment amounted to €4.2 million.

By purchasing an inspection machine, we increased manufacturing capacities of the Ljutomer production plant. We are also upgrading systems and machines in a part of the plant. These investments were estimated at €2 million.

In Krško, preparations for construction of a new warehouse for hazardous materials have started. The new building will store raw materials for chemical and pharmaceutical production. We will invest in capacities for storing and sampling raw materials. Storage will be arranged in compliance with the guidelines of the Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances (TRGS). Thanks to the technical and technological building design, technological operations will be carried out in accordance with the Rules on Technical and Organizational Measures for the Storage of Hazardous Chemicals, regulations on working in explosive environments and on environmental protection. The construction of the €8.2 million building will be finished in July 2020.

In February 2019, the European Union introduced new rules for protection of public health by preventing the entry of falsified medicinal products into the pharmaceutical supply chain. The Directive introduces obligatory safety features on the outer packaging of medicines, which prevent falsified medicines from reaching patients. In accordance with these requirements, we have upgraded the technological equipment and manufacturing procedures on many levels. Over the last three years, we allocated approximately €20 million for the new equipment and technology. Safety measures required by the Russian legislation from 2020 onwards are also a part of this investment.

Construction of a new office building in Ljubljana is in progress. The four-storey building will be connected to the current business premises and will

be ready for use in mid-2019. The investment is estimated at over €10 million.

The Krka-Rus plant, located in the industrial area of the town of Istra, north-west of Moscow, is one of the key investments in Krka subsidiaries. In 2017, the second stage of technological equipment installation was finished, increasing the capacity of the plant to 1.8 billion tablets and capsules a year. Another project for new manufacturing and laboratory capacities is already underway and will mark the upcoming five-year investment period in the Russian Federation. The investment is estimated at €32 million and will increase manufacturing capacities of the Krka-Rus plant to 3 billion tablets per year. Krka-Rus manufactures 70% of products intended for the Russian market, giving Krka the status of a domestic producer in the Russian Federation.

The €1.7 million investment in production of solid forms of animal health products at the productionand-distribution centre of Krka in Jastrebarsko, Croatia, has entered its final stage.

We plan to allocate €0.5 million for the optimisation of production equipment in TAD Pharma, Germany, and €0.4 million for Krka Polska.

Several small investments are in progress in business units of the Terme Krka subsidiary.

At the end of 2017, we established a joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo with a local partner Menovo in the city of Ningbo, China. In 2018, we paid in the initial capital, provided the necessary equipment, and obtained a GMP certificate for leased production facilities. At the end of 2018, we started to commercially manufacture the first product for the markets outside China and submitted all registration documents required to obtain a marketing authorisation for the Chinese market. In 2019, additional five marketing authorisation applications for products for the Chinese market will be filed. Our product portfolio will be adapted according to market needs and opportunities.

Educational structure of the Krka Group

We award scholarships and in this way guarantee continuous recruitment of new talented employees. At the end of March, Krka had 63 students on grants, primarily pharmacy and chemistry students. Krka also awards grants to exceptional students from other fields of interest for the Company. We granted 24 new scholarships this year. Through a staff development and succession planning system, we make sure that most of key personnel requirements of Krka for field experts and managers alike are catered for within the Krka Group.

We also invest in the knowledge and development of our employees. They undergo additional training, both in Slovenia and abroad, related to their fields of expertise, quality, management, informatics, personal growth, and attend foreign language courses. Most training courses are organised inhouse and adjusted to the needs of our employees, the technological process, the market situation, and the development needs of the Krka Group. We constantly update them and introduce new types that are better adjusted to the contemporary way of working.

At the end of March, a total of 147 employees were enrolled into part-time graduate studies co-funded by Krka, of whom 52 in postgraduate studies.

Krka is also included in the national vocational qualification (NVQ) system. Between 2002 and March 2019, we awarded 1,414 NVQ certificates to Krka employees and 142 to participants from other organisations in the pharmaceutical industry, total of 1,556 certificates for four vocational qualifications. At the end of March, 120 Krka employees were included in the process of obtaining NVQ.

Since its foundation 65 years ago, Krka has supported volunteering, which has now become an integral part of our organisational culture. We have held a socially responsible campaign Krka Week of Charity and Volunteering since 2012. Over the past eight years, our acts of kindness and the spirit of volunteering have brought us together in 8,331 acts of charity.

In April, 1,250 Krka volunteers – approximately 20% of all Krka employees in Slovenia – participated in various activities. New volunteers join our cause every year. This year, more than 100 participants in the campaign were first-time volunteers. Our colleagues from subsidiaries and representatives offices in the Russian Federation, Poland, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Hungary, Germany, Serbia, Turkmenistan, Spain, North Macedonia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Slovakia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mongolia, Croatia, the Republic of Kosovo, Armenia, Bulgaria, UK, and India also joined in.

In the eight years of Krka Week of Charity and

Volunteering, Krka employees donated 933 litres of blood. We regularly engage in charity, as over 1,500 Krka employees donate blood twice a year on average, and every year, new blood donors join their ranks. This year, 15% of Krka employees who donated blood did so for the first time in their lives. During this year's charity campaign, 298 volunteers donated 131 litres of blood in Slovenia.

We were also collecting clothes, food, and children's and other necessities. Over the past eight years, we collected 27 tonnes of such necessities for the Red Cross and Karitas.

During the course of the week, we collected 400 kg of packaged pet food that will be donated to animal shelters. A few volunteers also decided to help with landscaping at the Ljubljana Zoo.

Krka volunteers were preparing food packages and sorting clothes at regional centres of the Red Cross in Novo mesto and Ljutomer, the Humanitarian Centre in Ljubljana, and Karitas. In collaboration with the Red Cross, some volunteers helped the elderly with cleaning their homes, and another group of volunteers painted the walls of an apartment of a disabled person in the region of Dolenjska.

The volunteers kept company to the elderly at 28 retirement homes across Slovenia. We also visited 12 occupational activity centres and other institutions, where we joined the wards and pupils at various creative workshops.

We rounded off the week of Charity and Volunteering with an open-door day at the central production site of Krka. We hosted 2,040 University of the Third Age participants, Krka employees and their family members. They were taken on a tour of our state-of-the-art solid dosage form production plant Notol 2 and had the opportunity to listen to informative lectures on healthy living. During the eight campaigns, we hosted more than 17,000 visitors at Krka Open-Door Day alone: children from socially disadvantaged families, pupils from special education schools, Slovenian mountaineers, Slovenian fire fighters, members of pensioner's organisations and organisations connecting patients with various illnesses, members of the University of the Third Age, and others.

Other non-current liabilities included liabilities to the European Commission. According to the 2014 findings of the European Commission, Krka allegedly violated Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union causing distortion of the competition in the perindopril market of the European Union, and imposed Krka to pay a fine in total of €10.0 million. Krka paid the imposed fine within the deadline set by the Commission. Krka brought an action before the General Court against the decision of the European Commission on the grounds that there was no breach of EU competition rules, and in December 2018 the court ruled in favour of Krka. The decision of the General Court has not yet become final, and the European Commission filed an appeal against the decision within the provided time limit, on which the Court of Justice of the European Union will rule. At the beginning of 2019, the European Commission refunded Krka the €10.0 million fine, but in compliance with legal opinion Krka decided to post the refund under deferred revenue. Krka formed non-current liabilities in the said amount.

Other non-current liabilities included liabilities to the European Commission. According to the 2014 findings of the European Commission, Krka allegedly violated Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union causing distortion of the competition in the perindopril market of the European Union, and imposed Krka to pay a fine in total of €10.0 million. Krka paid the imposed fine within the deadline set by the Commission. Krka brought an action before the General Court against the decision of the European Commission on the grounds that there was no breach of EU competition rules, and in December 2018 the court ruled in favour of Krka. The decision of the General Court has not yet become final, and the European Commission filed an appeal against the decision within the provided time limit, on which the Court of Justice of the European Union will rule. At the beginning of 2019, the European Commission refunded Krka the €10.0 million fine, but in compliance with legal opinion Krka decided to post the refund under deferred revenue. Krka formed non-current liabilities in the said amount.
