Financial Income and Expenses

The Krka Group operates in diverse international environments and is exposed to foreign exchange risks in certain markets.

Currency exposure arises from an excess of assets over liabilities in a particular currency in the financial position statement of the Group, and from differences between operating income and expenses generated in various currencies. Key accounting categories composing a long position are trade receivables, payables to suppliers, and subsidiary funding by the controlling company.

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 provide hedging for the risk. Generally, forward contracts are used for hedging.

Krka continued its policy of partial hedging against the rouble-related risk in 2018. The value of the rouble decreased by 13% from the beginning to the end of 2018, which is much more than in 2017, when the rouble depreciated by 7.3%. Therefore we generated net foreign exchange losses from the Russian roubles in the amount of €27.4 million. More than a third of this amount came in December.

We generated net foreign exchange losses from other currencies in 2018. Exposure to other currencies was not hedged. A multi-year analysis of exchange rate differences and hedging costs for the Romanian leu, Polish złoty, Czech koruna, Hungarian forint, and Croatian kuna shows that hedging for these currencies would not be effective for the Krka Group, because fluctuations of exchange rates against Euro are generally not marked. Currency exposure of the Krka Group to the Ukrainian hryvnia, Kazakh tenge, Serbian dinar, and certain other currencies is less significant, and no financial instruments for mitigation of risk exposure have been provided.

Net financial result of the Krka Group in 2018, which comprises interest income and interest expenses, foreign exchange gains and losses and other financial income and expenses, was -€30.1 million, while net financial result of Company was -€16.5 million.

The difference is represented by revenues from contracts with customers of materials and other sales revenues.

According to contracts with customers on sales of products and services, the Krka Group generated sales total of €1,326.7 million, or €65.9 million (5%) more than in 2017. In terms of volume, sales saw a 7% increase. Sales in markets outside Slovenia amounted to €1,237.9 million, accounting for a good 93% of the Krka Group sales.

The most successful sales region was East Europe, where sales totalled €412.9 million, a 7% year-on-year increase. In the Russian Federation, which remains Krka's key and largest individual market, we sold €274.7 million worth of products and recorded a 2% growth rate. Growth expressed in the Russian rouble totalled 15% and was achieved through an 18% increase in sales volume. Sales growth dynamics in the Russian Federation has been above the average for years now, and saw a further increase in 2018. This resulted in an increase in Krka's market share. After a period of a downward trend and sales stagnation, the pharmaceutical market in Ukraine first recorded growth in 2017 that further accelerated last year. We generated €56.2 million sales total, a 24% advance which significantly outperformed market growth and direct competitors. Stable business environment and a growing pharmaceutical market facilitated sales in Uzbekistan in 2018, so we generated product sales in total of €19.0 million, a 31% rise compared to the year before. Double-digit sales growth was also reached in Mongolia (57%), Tajikistan (30%), Armenia (27%), Moldova (22%), Belarus (14%), and Azerbaijan (12%).

Region Central Europe recorded the second highest product sales at €318.3 million, a 5% increase compared to 2017.

Sales through subsidiaries were essential for continued sales growth and accounted for more than 70% of the regional sales. In Germany, which remains our most important Western European market, our sales reached €72.6 million, and recorded a 10% slide compared to 2017 due to diminishing tender sales of medicines. Spain is our second largest market in the region. Our product sales reached €40.2 million, 13% more than in 2017. Double-digit market growth was recorded in Finland (54%), Scandinavian countries (33%), Benelux (25%), Italy (22%), and Austria (22%).

Krka Group Sales of Products and Services by Region

Structure of Krka Group Sales of Products and Services by Product Groups

In 2018, the Krka Group sales of prescription pharmaceuticals totalled €1,102.8 million, 6% more than in 2017. Sales value exceeded one billion Euro. Our five major markets are: the Russian Federation, Poland, Germany, Romania, and the Czech Republic.

Among the ten largest individual markets, sales of prescription pharmaceuticals saw the highest growth in relative terms in Ukraine, Spain, Slovakia, and in the Czech Republic, while among other markets their sales went up the most in Mongolia, Finland and Bulgaria.

As far as sales of prescription pharmaceuticals are concerned, medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases remained the key therapeutic group also in 2018, and were followed by pharmaceuticals for the treatment of the central nervous system, and medicines for the alimentary tract.

In 2018, sales of new products, i.e. products launched in individual markets in the past five years, accounted for 29% of the Krka Group total sales. Co-Amlessa* (perindopril/amlodipine/indapamide), which was launched in 2014, was our most important new product. The medicine ranked among Krka's 15 leading products in terms of sales, and was among the three products presenting the highest absolute sales growth Roticox* (etoricoxib), which was put on the market in 2017, and Vamloset* (valsartan/amlodipine), which was put on the market in 2014, ranked among the top ten products presenting the highest absolute sales growth.

The leading prescription pharmaceuticals in terms of sales in 2018 were pharmaceuticals containing valsartan (Valsacor, Valsacombi*, Vamloset*, Co-Vamloset*, Valarox*). Year on year, the sales of medicines containing valsartan almost doubled. This was the result of intensive promotion and also of favourable markets conditions. Pharmaceuticals containing perindopril (Prenessa*, Co-Prenessa*, Amlessa*, Co-Amlessa*), losartan (Lorista*, Lorista H*, Tenloris*), atorvastatin (Atoris, Atordapin*), pantoprazole (Nolpaza*), and rosuvastatin (Roswera*, Rosudapin*) followed. In terms of sales, medicines containing esomeprazole (Emanera*), enalapril (Enap, Enap-H*, Elernap*), clopidogrel (Zyllt*), and tramadol (Doreta*, Tadol) were also among top ten prescription pharmaceuticals.

Sales of non-prescription products amounted to €123.2 million, a 4% increase compared to 2017. Among ten largest markets, sales saw the highest growth in relative terms in Uzbekistan, Hungary, and Ukraine, and among other markets in Portugal, Montenegro, and Mongolia. Septolete, Herbion*, Nalgesin*, and Bilobil* were our most important non-prescription product brand names.

Animal health product sales totalled €63.2 million, which was the same as in 2017. Among our ten leading markets, sales in Italy, the United Kingdom, and Croatia went up the most in relative terms. Among other markets, the rise was most notable in Spain, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. The milbemycin oxime/praziquantel combination (Milprazon*) was our most important animal health product in terms of sales. It was followed by products containing fipronil (Fypryst*, Fypryst* Combo), enrofloxacin (Enroxil*), florfenicol (Floron), and pyrantel embonate/praziquantel combination products (Dehinel*, Dehinel* Plus).

Sales of health resort and tourist services increased by 5% to €37.6 million.

Research and Development

In 2018, Krka obtained marketing authorisations for 23 new products (18 prescription pharmaceuticals, one nonprescription product, and four animal health products) in 52 pharmaceutical dosage forms and strengths.

In 2018, we filed five patent applications for technological solutions we had developed and evaluated as inventions. Based on priority applications from 2017, we submitted four international patent applications. We were granted eight patents in various countries. More than 200 patents filed by Krka are currently in force.

In Slovenia, we filed 67 trademark applications for protection of Krka trademarks. We also filed 34 international and 9 national trademark applications. All in all, we have registered more than 1,100 trademarks in various countries.

New Prescription Pharmaceuticals

We added new single-component and fixed-dose combination medicines to our key portfolio of medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Under the decentralised procedure we obtained marketing authorisations in the EU countries for Eliskardia/Sigrada/Prasillt (prasugrel) film-coated tablets in two strengths. Prasugrel inhibits platelet aggregation and formation of blood clots. In combination with acetylsalicylic acid it is used for prevention of atherothrombotic events and is taken once a day.

We have obtained a marketing authorisation for Apleria/Enplerasa (eplerenone) film-coated tablets in two strengths. The medicine is used in combination with other medicines for the treatment of heart failure. The active substance is one of the new aldosterone receptor antagonists. The risk of adverse reactions is lower than with the older active substance, spironolactone.

We also introduced new fixed-dose combinations for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We obtained marketing authorisations for Roxiper/Triemma (perindopril/indapamide/rosuvastatin) film-coated tablets in four strengths. Perindopril and indapamide control increased blood pressure, and rosuvastatin controls elevated cholesterol levels. The new medicine combines three active substances in a single tablet and is effective and safe for both indications.

In the Russian Federation, we were granted a marketing authorisation for Co-Vamloset (valsartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide) film-coated tablets in three strengths. This triple fixed-dose combination is used to control blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension.

Under the European decentralised procedure, we obtained marketing authorisations for Sorvitimb/Sorvasta Plus/Co-Roswera/Rosazimib (rosuvastatin/ezetimibe) film-coated tablets in five strengths. Rosuvastatin inhibits synthesis of cholesterol in the body, while ezetimibe reduces absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. They are used in combination in those patients whose target values cannot be reached by statin therapy alone.

We introduced two new strengths of Amlessini/Dalnessa/Amlessa/Tonarssa/Preamlessa (perindopril/amlodipine) 2.85 mg/2.5 mg and 5.7 mg/5 mg tablets used for the initial treatment of high blood pressure. We obtained marketing authorisations under the European decentralised procedure.

We extended our range of medicines for the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system.

We as the first generic pharmaceutical company obtained marketing authorisations under the European decentralised procedures for an antipsychotic agent, Parnido (paliperidone) prolonged release tablets in three strengths. The medicine is an atypical antipsychotic and is taken only once daily. We introduced the new laser technology, OROS, for production of tablets from which active ingredients are released by osmosis

We registered an antidepressant, Lamegom/Agomaval (agomelatine) 25 mg film-coated tablets and the strength allows treatment with one tablet a day. It has a unique mechanism of action and provides for an additional option of treatment when other antidepressants are not effective.

We obtained our first marketing authorisation for Noctiben/Calmesan/Dornite (doxylamine) film-coated tablets in two strengths. It is used as a short-term treatment for occasional sleep problems in adults. It helps shorten the time to fall asleep and improves the quality of sleep.

We obtained a marketing authorisation for a new strength of sedative alprazolam 2 mg tablets. We introduced other strengths in several new markets of Western Europe.

We extended our portfolio of oncology medicines.

Under the centralised procedure, we obtained marketing authorisations for pemetrexed powder for solution for infusion in two strengths. This medicine of choice is used for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

We were granted a marketing authorisation for Gefitad (gefitinib) film-coated tablets. This medicine is used for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. It inhibits the growth of cancer cells, reduces lung cancer symptoms, improves the quality of life, and prolongs the survival time.

We extended our range of oncology medicines by Everofin (everolimus) tablets in three strengths. The medicine decreases blood supply to a tumour and inhibits cancer cell growth and progression. It is indicated for the treatment of breast cancer and renal cancer. This is a medicine of choice for the treatment of certain types of neuroendocrine tumours.

We obtained marketing authorisations for bortezomib, powder for solution for injection in two strengths. The medicine interferes with the cell activity and growth killing cancerous cells. It can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other medicines for the treatment of adult patients suffering from progressive multiple myeloma (disseminated plasmacytoma). It is the only medicine for patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma (cancer affecting the lymph nodes).

We also obtained marketing authorisations for an antiviral medicine entecavir film-coated tablets in two strengths. According to treatment guidelines, it is the medicine of choice for the chronic hepatitis B treatment.

In 2018, the procedure for introduction of febuxostat film-coated tablets in two strengths was in progress. Febuxostat is our first medicine for the treatment of gout caused by increased levels of uric acid in the body. It is also used in the treatment and prevention of high levels of uric acid in the blood, in initial chemotherapy for leukaemia. It can be used already from the earliest treatment stages in patients who do not tolerate allopurinol.

We obtained marketing authorisations under decentralised procedures for two new formulations of Awardix (tramadol) oral drops and Awardix/Olteron (tramadol) prolonged-release tablets. Tramadol is an opioid medication used for relieving moderate to severe pain. Oral drops are especially suitable for relieving pain in elderly patients.

New Non-Prescription Products

In 2018, we obtained the approval for our new medicine, KontrDiar (nifuroxazide) capsules in the Russian Federation. Nifuroxazide is an intestinal antimicrobial agent that acts locally and is used to treat acute bacterial diarrhoea. It acts on most bacteria causing infections in the intestine and does not destroy the normal intestinal flora, is poorly absorbed, and is considered to be a safe medicine. It is used to treat adults and children aged 3+ years.

New Animal Health Products

We extended our range of companion animal products by marketing authorisations for Selehold/Selames (selamectin). This 60 mg/ml spot-on solution for cats and small dogs is available in three different doses, and the 120 mg/ml spot-on solution for dogs is available in five different doses. Selamectin is an advanced medicine effective against external parasites, and internal gastrointestinal parasites, heart worms, and eye worms. It is indicated for the treatment of mixed infestations in cats and dogs. The product is based on our own patented technology. Due to the development of our own technological solution we could launch it before the expiration of patent protection, by which the competitor protected other technological solutions.

We expanded our product portfolio for farm animals by the approval for Tuloxxin/Tulaxa (tulathromycin) 100 mg/ml solution for injection. We obtained a marketing authorisation as the first generic pharmaceutical company for that medicine. Tulathromycin is an advanced antimicrobial used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract in cattle and pigs and infectious pododermatitis (foot rot) in sheep.

We obtained marketing authorisations under the decentralised procedure for a fixed-dose combination Catobevit (butafosfan/cyanocobalamin) solutions for injection. It is used as supportive treatment and prevention of metabolic or reproductive disorders in cattle, horses, dogs, and cats.

Investments

In 2018, the Krka Group allocated €96.3 million to investments, of that €78.0 million to the controlling company. In Slovenia, Croatia, and the Russian Federation, numerous investments in new production equipment and modernisation of infrastructure were in progress, which additionally increased our production capacities and improved our quality. We also invested in our own production and distribution centres around the world.

Our key investment is the €54 million product development and quality control facility, the Development and Control Centre 4, at the production site in Novo mesto. Construction of the 18,000 m² building was completed of at the end of 2016. Setting up of laboratory rooms was finished in 2017. Additional furnishing of the rooms intended for development has entered its final stages.

In the end of 2017, Krka started building a multipurpose warehouse on the same site to ensure additional storage room for incoming materials and finished products. This will increase the speed and flexibility of production, and improve product availability and market supply. The entire investment is estimated at €36 million.

Our plant for production of solid pharmaceutical dosage forms, Notol 2, is at the same site in Ločna, and was presented with the 2018 factory-of-the-year award as the best factory plant in Slovenia. The plant opened in 2015 and features vertical integration and complete automation of all processes. In 2018, the output volume of the plant was 3 billion tablets. As the demand for new products is increasing, we have been acquiring additional technological equipment. In 2018, we allocated €8.3 million to investments. When the plant is fully equipped, it will be able to operate at its planned volume, i.e. 4.5 billion tablets, film-coated tablets and capsules per year.

In December 2018, we started a high-capacity packaging line for large batch production in plant for production of solid dosage forms. This investment totalled €3 million.

We have introduced OROS, a new laser technology for the production of tablets from which active ingredients are released by osmosis. In 2018, we successfully installed and started up a tablet drilling laser. This equipment for production of controlled-release pharmaceuticals cost €2.8 million.

At the Bršljin plant in Novo mesto, we are increasing production capacities for animal health products with biocidal effect. The investment is estimated at €4.6 million. Production on the new equipment will start at the beginning of 2019.

In February 2019, new regulations enter into force in the European Union on public health protection, which aims to prevent entry of falsified medicinal products into the legal supply chain. The FMD Directive introduces the use of unique identifiers and anti-tampering devices on packaging materials, which will prevent distribution of the falsified medicines to patients. In compliance with regulatory requirements, we have upgraded our technological equipment and manufacturing procedures. We have upgraded packaging lines with equipment that prevents tampering with finished product folding boxes and allows connection of information systems at Krka with databases of the European system for medicine verification. Over the past three years we allocated a total of €20 million, of that €6 million in 2018, to new technology that prevents unnoticeable opening of boxes and enables unique identification labelling of each folding box. Protective measures required by the Russian legislation, which will have to be implemented after 2020, are also a part of the investment.

We are constructing a new office building in Ljubljana. The total floor area of the building with four floors and an underground garage on good 12,000 m2 will be connected to the existing office premises. According to the plan, it will be ready for use in the middle of 2019. The investment is estimated at a good €10 million.

One of the most important investments in Krka subsidiaries is investment in the Krka-Rus plant located in the industrial zone of Istra in the north-eastern part of Moscow. In 2017, we completed the second phase of setting up the technological equipment and increased the capacity of the factory to 1.8 billion tablets and capsules per year. In 2018, we increased laboratory capacities in order to meet requirements of the analytics and invested €1.5 million in the procurement of laboratory equipment. Construction of a waste water treatment plant is still in progress. The investment is estimated at €2.6 million. Two third of products intended for the Russian market are produced by Krka-Rus, giving us the status of a domestic producer in the Russian Federation.

In 2017, investment in production and laboratory facilities for solid dosage oncology medicines was completed in Krka's production-and-distribution centre in Jastrebarsko, Croatia. At present we are furnishing rooms and installing technological equipment for the manufacture of animal health products. The investment is estimated at €2 million.

We made several low investments totalling slightly above €3 million in all business units of our subsidiary Terme Krka in 2018.

In 2017, we established a joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo with a local partner Menovo in the city of Ningbo, China. Menovo and Krka have been successfully cooperating on various projects for 15 years already, which helped us with our biggest project in China so far. In 2018, we paid up the initial capital and provided the necessary equipment as well as obtained the EU GMP certificate for the leased production site. Our investments will continue also in 2019. Ningbo Krka Menovo will invest several million euros in purchasing fixed assets, primarily for the production, and thus provide a springboard for further production and business growth. At the end of 2018, we started to commercially manufacture the first product for the markets outside China and also submitted all registration documents required to obtain a marketing authorisation for the Chinese market. In 2018, we produced some validation batches for other products as well. In 2019, we will submit additional five marketing authorisation applications for products to be sold in the Chinese market. The product range will be regularly adjusted to the market needs and opportunities.

Employees

At the end of 2018, the Krka Group had 11,390 employees, of which 5,611 (49.3%) worked in Slovenia and 5,779 (50.7%) abroad. The number of employees increased by 558 (5%) compared to 2017.

Of all people on payroll, 54% or 6,126 employees held at least a university degree. Of that 187 held a doctoral degree, and 384 a master's degree or specialisation.

Investor and Share Information

On the last trading date in 2018, the Krka share price on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange totalled €57.80, a 0.5% increase over the 2017 year-end, when it amounted to €57.50. In the same period, the value of the blue-chip index of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange (SBITOP) decreased by 0.2%. At the end of last year, Krka's market capitalisation amounted to €1,895 million.

Krka shares are the most traded security on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. In 2018, the average daily trading volume of Krka shares on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange reached €0.4 million. In 2018, the company acquired 201,730 treasury shares on the regulated market in total value of €11,488,000 and held 893,447 treasury shares on 31 December 2018 or 2.9 of all Krka shares.

Plans for 2019

According to the 2019 plans, sales of the Krka Group are projected at €1,375 million and net profit at €172 million, whereby we will endeavour to exceed the plans. Investments in increasing and upgrading production capacities and infrastructure are planned at just over €124 million. In 2019, Krka plans to increase the number of employees in Slovenia and abroad by 4%. This rise is primarily expected due to transfers of people employed through agencies to Krka.

Also in 2019, the Management Board intends to remain committed to the strategy of a stable dividend policy, according to which at least 50% of net profit of the Krka Group majority holders is allocated to the dividend payout. However, the allocation of net profit for the dividend payout also considers financial requirements of the Krka Group with respect to investments and takeovers.

Subsequent events

On 12 March 2019 the President of the Supervisory Board of Krka received resignation statement from the Supervisory Board member Hans-Helmut Fabry. He stated in the statement that he is resigning from the Krka's Supervisory Board effective on 12 March 2019. In the statement, Mr. Fabry thanked the President of the Supervisory Board, other Supervisory Board Members and Management Board Members for constructive cooperation. Presumably Mr. Fabry will start cooperating with a company that is Krka's direct competitor.

According to the 2014 findings of the European Commission, Krka allegedly violated Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU causing distortion of the competition in the perindopril market of the EU. The European Commission imposed a €10 million fine on Krka. Krka settled the fine within the time limit set by the European Commission, but decided to bring an action before the General Court against the decision of the European Commission on the grounds that there was no breach of the 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 EU will rule. At the beginning of 2019, the European Commission refunded Krka the €10 million fine, but in compliance with legal opinion Krka decided to post the refund under deferred revenues.

In 2019, Krka acquired 76,346 treasury shares. Krka held 969,739 treasury shares or 3.0% of all Krka shares.
