2020 Krka Group Performance Estimate

Annual sales of products and services will meet the plan and are estimated at €1,520 million. According to our estimates, sales are projected to grow by 2% on 2019.
Sales outside Slovenia are expected to account for 94% of total sales.
Region East Europe is expected to be the largest sales region. The Russian Federation is expected to remain the largest individual market. Region Central Europe with our second largest individual market Poland, Region West Europe with our third largest individual market Germany, Region South-East Europe, Region Slovenia, and Region Overseas Markets are projected to follow in this order.
Prescription pharmaceuticals are expected to remain the most important product group with a 85% share of total sales.
According to our estimates, profit will be higher than planned, especially on the back of growth in

value and volume, and will reach approximately €260 million.

We plan to allocate a solid €78 million to investments in our own development, production, and infrastructure facilities. The figure is below the initial plan due to restrictions imposed by the state to curb the coronavirus pandemic. All our investments included in our business plan are currently in progress.
At the end of 2020, the Krka Group is expected to have almost 12,000 regular employees on payroll, of that a good 47% abroad.
We used currently available data for drawing up this performance estimate. Actual operating results may deviate from the estimates in case any further restrictions in connection with the coronavirus pandemic are instigated or unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations, primarily of the Russian rouble, should prevail.

BUSINESS REPORT

Financial Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Krka Group operates in diverse international environments and is exposed to foreign exchange risk in a certain sales and purchase markets.

Currency exposure arises from different values of assets and liabilities in a particular currency in the financial position statement of the Krka Group and from differences between operating income and expenses generated in individual currencies.

With regard to currency risk management, the key policy of the Krka Group remains to mitigate foreign currency exposure by natural hedging. To a limited extent, we also use plain vanilla derivative financial instruments. In 2020, we have continued our policy of partial hedging against the Russian rouble and U.S. dollar by financial instruments.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we recorded high exchange rate volatility in currency markets in the first nine months of 2020.

The value of the Russian rouble denominated in the euro fell by 18.6% in the first quarter of 2020. In the second quarter, the value climbed, but then slumped again in the third quarter. Currency exposure of the Krka Group is the highest in relation to the Russian rouble and generates the great majority of foreign exchange differences. From the beginning of the year until the end of the third quarter, the value of the Russian rouble plunged by 23.8%. The average value of the Russian rouble in the first nine months of 2020 dropped by 8.6% on the same period in 2019. In the first three quarters of 2020, the Krka Group

Interest Rate Risk

In the first nine months of 2020, the Krka Group raised no non-current borrowings and was therefore not exposed to the risk of changes in reference interest rates.

Credit Risk

The key credit risk of the Krka Group arises from trade receivables. This is the risk of clients failing to settle their liabilities by maturity dates. generated foreign exchange losses from the long position in the Russian rouble, which were partially neutralised through revenue from forward contracts.

The 2020 drop in the value of the rouble was attributed to slumping oil prices on global markets, unfavourable currency trends on emerging markets, poor prospects with regard to the global economic recovery, and geopolitical circumstances related to the Russian Federation.

Other currencies significant to Krka, i.e. the Polish złoty, Romanian leu, Croatian kuna, Hungarian forint, Ukrainian hryvnia, Kazakh tenge, and Czech koruna, had a far lesser negative impact on the Krka Group net financial result.

The Krka Group accrued a surplus of liabilities over assets in the U.S. dollar and a short currency position. Over the first three quarters of 2020, the value of the U.S. dollar fell by 4%. Lower dollar value favourably impacted the Krka Group's operating result. At the same time, we generated financial expenses from hedging the U.S. dollar that negatively affected net financial result of the Krka Group.

Taking into account net foreign exchange differences, income and expenses relating to derivative financial instruments and interest rates, as well as other financial income and expenses, total net financial result in the first nine months of 2020 was negative and generated a €50.5 million loss.

The Krka Group introduced a centralised credit control process for all customers with credit limits exceeding €20,000. Numbering over 500 at the end

of the third quarter, their trade receivables accounted for approximately 95%. Receivables by small customers accounted for approximately 5% of total Krka Group receivables. Decentralised control is in place, exerted by the sales network under constant supervision of the controlling company.

In the second quarter of 2020, we extended and supplemented insurance for trade receivables with a credit insurance company. At the end of the third quarter, more than 95% of Krka Group trade receivables were insured with the credit insurance company.

Despite the risks arising from the coronavirus situation, receivables were favourably managed in the first nine months of 2020. Despite advancing sales, trade receivables dropped by 18% on the

Liquidity Risk

In the first nine months of 2020, the risks related to the Krka Group's liquidity were managed by effective short-term cash flow planning. We employed cash flows from operating activities to provide for shortterm liquidity. During the first nine months of the year, we did not draw any additional funds from short-term beginning of 2020 and were 15% below the 2019 third quarter mark. This is primarily due to annual sales dynamics and favourable outcome of receivable collection.

The amount of receivable write-offs and impairments of the Krka Group is low because receivables are dispersed across a large number of customers and sales markets, and the majority of outstanding receivables are due from customers with whom Krka has been doing business for many years.

The maturity structure of receivables remained stable. With respect to total trade receivables, the percentage of overdue receivables was low also at the end of the third quarter of the year. We identified no particularities when collecting receivables.

revolving and fixed borrowings from banks. We monitor cash flows from operating activities by daily, rolling weekly, monthly, and long-term planning. We maintain optimal cash balances on subsidiary bank accounts. All Krka Group liabilities were settled on time.

Despite the fact that the scope of the insured property increased, the insurance premium grew slower than sales as a result of successful negotiations and insurance optimisation. In transport insurance, we have significantly simplified administrative procedures, i.e. we introduced electronic certificates

and paperless communication.

Property, Liability, and Business Interruption Insurance

In the observed period, no changes were made in relation to the Krka Group insurance policies. Krka concluded insurance contracts for 2020 and extended liability insurance for Management and Supervisory Board members at the end of March. No major damages to property or damages arising from liability insurance were reported in the period.

We recorded the highest absolute sales growth in Germany, France, and Benelux. Most important medicines were those containing valsartan, esomeprazole, candesartan, and clopidogrel.

In terms of sales, products containing the combination of milbemycin and praziquantel remained the leaders. Non-prescription product sales rose by 21% and accounted for less than 2% of the regional sales. Our Septolete brand products generated the strongest sales.

Germany remained our largest regional market with sales total of €73.1 million. The 32% sales rise was primarily due to good sales of advanced antihypertensives. We remained the leading provider of generic varieties of sartans in Germany. Product sales of TAD Pharma, our German subsidiary, generated €68.4 million, a 31% year-on-year surge. Prescription pharmaceuticals were at the forefront, especially combinations of valsartan and amlodipine; valsartan, amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide; and candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Sales of nonprescription products saw a 16% increase and animal health products a 14% rise.

In the Scandinavian countries, sales dipped by 2% to €46.3 million.

In France, our product sales totalled €26.3 million, and growth reached 16%. The largest proportion was generated by sales through unrelated parties, primarily by medicines containing esomeprazole, clopidogrel, and gliclazide. Sales through our subsidiary Krka France grew by 34% in terms of value and accounted for 28% of our overall country sales value. Prescription pharmaceuticals generated strongest sales, above all tadalafil, dasatinib, and esomeprazole. From our non-prescription product group, the medicine containing paracetamol stood out and became our subsidiary's second best selling product in the period. We should also mention strong sales of our animal health products for protection of companion animals against parasites, above all the combination of milbemycin and praziquantel.

In Portugal, sales increased by 9% and totalled €19.2 million. In this way, we retained more than a 5% market share on the Portuguese market of generic pharmaceuticals. The leading prescription pharmaceuticals were products containing esomeprazole, olanzapine, and pramipexole.

Animal health products advanced by 36%, with the combination of milbemycin and praziquantel at the forefront.

Sales in the United Kingdom totalled €9.5 million, a 35% year-on-year fall. Prescription pharmaceuticals added the most to overall sales, above all those containing perindopril, irbesartan, and losartan. Sales though our subsidiary Krka UK rose by 16% and accounted for 30% of total country sales.

Health Resorts and Tourist Services

In the first nine months of 2020, Terme Krka generated €22.3-million revenue, or 75% of the amount generated in the same period last year. The fall occurred because of the restrictions passed to curb the coronavirus pandemic. After two and a half months of closure due to coronavirus restrictions, Terme Krka reopened only at the beginning of June.

Research and Development

In the first nine months of 2020, we were granted new marketing authorisations for 8 new finished products in 21 pharmaceutical forms and strengths. We brought to the end more than 130 various registration procedures.

Of prescription pharmaceuticals, Xerdoxo or Rivarolto (rivaroxaban), a single-pill combination Olsitri (olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide), Erlotinib Krka (erlotinib), Lacosabil or Lydraso (lacosamide), Dekenor or Dexfenia (dexketoprofen), and Zulbex (rabeprazole), for which we obtained a new certificate, were authorised. We added a new medicine Tuloxxin or Tulaxa (tulathromycin) 25 mg/ml solution for injection to our animal health product range, and a new formulation of B-Complex to our non-prescription range.

Prescription Pharmaceuticals

In the first nine months of 2020, we obtained marketing authorisations for 6 new products and extended marketing opportunities for the already established products with first-time marketing authorisations on new markets.

Antithrombotic agents are our very important new therapeutic area and are also important to our sales. We were granted a new marketing authorisation for our antithrombotic agent, Xerdoxo or Rivarolto (rivaroxaban) film-coated tablets in four strengths. The agent is used concomitantly with other medicines for prevention of atherothrombotic events in adults with cardiovascular diseases. Rivaroxaban is one of most advanced anticoagulants. It provides for effective and safe therapy and improves quality of patients' lives. We obtained marketing authorisations for the product in the European Union on time, serving as the base for product launches on selected European markets. We also authorised it in Serbia. Medicines of that class are to become an important part of our range of new medicines.

We extended the range of our cardiovascular singlepill combinations by Olsitri (olmesartan/amlodipine/ hydrochlorothiazide) film-coated tablets in five strengths. We concluded the registration procedure and obtained all marketing authorisations necessary to enter the market among the first generic pharmaceutical companies immediately after the We adapted to the new product registration legislation that entered into force in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and obtained the first marketing authorisation for rosuvastatin in Kazakhstan as a reference state.

Based on our own active ingredient synthesis procedure, the EDQM (European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines) granted us the Certificate of Suitability (CEP) to the monograph of the European Pharmacopeia, which proves that quality of the active ingredient rabeprazole complies with the latest requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia.

We obtained new marketing authorisations for our products in more than 60 countries (see the table bellow).

patent expiry. The medicine is indicated for lowering high blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension.

We also obtained marketing authorisations for our new oncology pharmaceutical, Erlotinib Krka (erlotinib) film-coated tablets in three strengths. The medicine is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and in combination with another medication for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The medicine is the result of our own research and development, and was launched on selected markets immediately after originator's patent expired. We manufacture it at our own state-of-the-art production plant in Jastrebarsko, Croatia, dedicated to highly active ingredients.

We added to our central nervous system range a new medicine for the treatment of epilepsy, Lacosabil or Lydraso (lacosamide) film-coated tablets in four strengths. The medicine has a more convenient safety profile with fewer adverse events and lower risk of interactions than other antiepileptic agents, and can be combined with other antiepileptic agents. It is the result of our own development, integration of development and production stages, and is supplied by our own production facilities.

In addition to the established dexketoprofen solution for injection, we were also granted marketing

authorisations for Dekenor or Dexfenia (dexketoprofen) film-coated tablets for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate pain. The medicine was authorised in various countries as a prescription pharmaceutical or non-prescription product. Well-designed packaging ensures childresistant but senior-friendly handling.

We received CEP to the monograph of the European Pharmacopoeia for Krka's rabeprazole integrated in our finished product Zulbex (rabeprazole) gastroresistant tablets in two strengths. The finished product with the new CEP was newly authorised in 25 countries. Zulbex is Krka's established medicine for the treatment of stomach problems. It now incorporates our own certified active ingredient.

We entered new markets and were granted marketing authorisations for our established products in countries of all our regions.

Marketing authorisations for our single-pill cardiovascular agents were important. In Croatia, we obtained a new marketing authorisation for our single-pill combination, Roxiper (perindopril/ indapamide/rosuvastatin) film-coated tablets.

In Region East Europe, marketing authorisation for our single-pill combination Telmista (telmisartan/ amlodipine) tablets granted in the Russian Federation was very important and extended our telmisartan range. In Ukraine, we concluded the registration procedure for our single-pill combination Co-Valodip (valsartan/amlodipine/ hydrochlorothiazide) film-coated tablets before the planned term.

In Region South-East Europe, marketing authorisations were granted for our single-pill combinations Valtricom (valsartan/amlodipine/ hydrochlorothiazide) and Wamlox (valsartan/ amlodipine), extending our valsartan cardiovascular agent range.

Non-Prescription Products

We developed a new formulation for our B- Complex (thiamine/riboflavin/pyridoxine/cyanocobalamin/ calcium pantothenate/nicotinamide) film-coated tablets and filed the renewed dossier to obtain marketing authorisations in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and North Macedonia. In Slovenia, it was authorised as a medicinal product. It is the only approved product with this combination of group B vitamins indicated for prevention and treatment of hypovitaminosis B, avitaminosis B, increased body demand, malabsorption, and various other severe forms of vitamin B deficiency.

In Slovakia, we were the first to authorise Dasseltino (desloratadine) 5 mg as a non-prescription product in packages with 7 or 10 film-coated tablets.

In North Macedonia, we concluded the marketing authorisation procedure for Vitamin D3 Krka

(cholecalciferol) tablets before the expected term, providing the basis for product launch at the beginning of 2021.

In Finland, we successfully presented expert information and were granted marketing authorisations for two products, Septabene (benzydamine/cetylpyridinium) oral spray and Septanazal (xylometazoline/ dexpanthenol) nasal spray. They are the only two products in Finland authorised with the above stated combinations of active ingredients.

We obtained marketing authorisations for Herbion Ivy (ivy leaf dry extract) lozenges in

Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Serbia, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, ensuring the proper basis for timely product launch.

In Mongolia, we received marketing authorisations for Flebaven (diosmin/hesperidin) 450 mg/50 mg film-coated tablets indicated for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency.

Animal Health Products

We were granted marketing authorisations for our new animal health product and expanded marketing opportunities for our key animal health product brands.

We added to our farm animal range a new product Tuloxxin or Tulaxa (tulathromycin) 25 mg/ml solution for injection in three different bottle volumes. Tulathromycin is an advanced antimicrobial used to treat bacterial infections of the respiratory tract in pigs.

We obtained new marketing authorisations for several established products in various countries.

In the Russian Federation, we obtained marketing authorisations for Doxatib (doxycycline) 500 mg/g oral powder for the treatment of infections of the respiratory tract in pigs and chicken.

We extended our United Kingdom companion animal portfolio by obtaining marketing authorisations for the combination of imidacloprid and moxidectin, Imidamox spot-on solution for dogs and cats. It is indicated for the treatment of mixed parasitic infections.

Investments

From January to September 2020, the Krka Group allocated €53.8 million to investments, of that €39.9 million to the controlling company. We primarily invested in development, extensions and technological upgrades of production facilities, quality assurance, and our production-anddistribution centres across the globe.

Our investments in the first quarter of 2020 lagged behind the plan due to the coronavirus pandemic impact on construction industry.

We built a multipurpose warehouse at our central site in Ločna, Novo mesto, Slovenia and provided for extra storage room for incoming materials and finished products. This improved production flexibility, product availability, and market supply. At the beginning of 2020, JAZMP (Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices of the Republic of Slovenia) granted us an operating permit, so all requirements for the facility start-up were met. The investment was worth slightly more than €34 million.

The Notol 2 plant, the state-of-the-art facility for manufacturing solid dosage forms, is also in Ločna, Novo mesto. The growing need for extra production capacities has incited us to acquire additional technological equipment for the plant. We started equipping a new packaging facility in 2019, and this year we continue setting it up. The investment was estimated at €41 million. When the Notol 2 plant is technologically equipped, we will be able to manufacture 5 billion and package 8 billion tablets per year.

The high-capacity packaging line purchased for the Ljutomer, Slovenia production plant will allow for increased packaging output of lozenges and tablets. The investment was estimated at €4.4 million.

In Krško, Slovenia we constructed a new warehouse for raw materials used in chemical and pharmaceutical production. Storage complies with the guidelines of the Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances (TRGS). In July, we obtained an operating permit, and in September also JAZMP's operating permit for the plant. The investment was valued at €8.2 million.

We plan to build new capacities for development and production of active ingredients at the same site.

The controlling company has been making low investments into refurbishment of the Notol plant, the OTO solid dosage form production plant, and the Beta Department. Renewal of systems and devices was valued at €5.5 million.

The Krka-Rus plant in the industrial zone of Istra in the north-western part of Moscow is one of the key investments in Krka subsidiaries. The Krka-Rus plant manufactures 81% of products intended for the Russian market, giving us the status of a domestic producer in the Russian Federation. In the next few years, we plan to increase production and laboratory capacities. The investment is estimated at €33 million.

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 production rooms taken on longterm lease. 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 its sales in the Chinese market. In 2019, we further equipped the rooms with manufacturing and control equipment and started manufacturing several products for markets outside China. The ultimate goal is to manufacture products for the Chinese market. The procurement of equipment continues in 2020.

We provide for continuous recruitment of talented employees by awarding scholarships. At the end of September, we listed 108 scholarship holders, primarily pharmacy and chemistry students. We also grant scholarships to exceptional students from other fields of interest to Krka. This year, 25 new scholarships were granted. Due to our staff development and succession planning system, we can greatly meet our human resource needs for key professionals and managers within the Krka Group.

We also invest in knowledge and development of our employees. In Slovenia and abroad, they undergo further professional training, and attend training courses on quality, management, informatics, personal growth, and foreign languages. We arrange most training courses in-house and adjust them to the needs of our employees, technological processes, market situations, and development needs of the Krka Group. We constantly update learning options and introduce new forms adjusted to the contemporary approaches to work.

At the end of September, 175 employees were enrolled in part-time graduate studies co-funded by Krka, 50 of them in postgraduate studies. Krka is also included in the national vocational qualification (NVQ) system. Between 2002 and September 2020, we awarded 1,585 NVQ certificates to Krka employees and 142 to participants from other organisations in the pharmaceutical industry, a total of 1,727 certificates for four vocational qualifications. At the end of September 2020, 187 Krka employees were included in the process of obtaining NVQ.

The majority of non-current trade payables included liabilities to the European Commission. In 2014, the Commission of the European Union ruled that Krka infringed the provision of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which resulted in a distortion of competition on the perindopril market of the European Union. Thus, it imposed on Krka a fine of €10,000 thousand. Krka paid the penalty imposed within the deadline set by the Commission and filed a lawsuit against the Commission's decision before the General Court of the European Union because it considered that its conduct did not violate the competition law rules. In December 2018, the Court ruled in favour of Krka. The decision of the General Court is not final, as the Commission lodged an appeal against the decision of the General Court, which will be decided by the European Court of Justice. Although the Commission did indeed pay back a fine of €10,000 thousand in early 2019, based on the assessment of legal experts, Krka deferred the revenue and recognised non-current trade liabilities in that same amount until the final decision of the Court is issued.

Non-current trade payables included liabilities to the European Commission. In 2014, the Commission of the European Union ruled that Krka infringed the provision of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which resulted in a distortion of competition on the perindopril market of the European Union. Thus, it imposed on Krka a fine of €10,000 thousand. Krka paid the penalty imposed within the deadline set by the Commission and filed a lawsuit against the Commission's decision before the General Court of the European Union because it considered that its conduct did not violate the competition law rules. In December 2018, the Court ruled in favour of Krka. The decision of the General Court is not final, as the Commission lodged an appeal against the decision of the General Court, which will be decided by the European Court of Justice. Although the Commission did indeed pay back a fine of €10,000 thousand in early 2019, based on the assessment of legal experts, Krka deferred the revenue and recognised non-current trade liabilities in that same amount until the final decision of the Court is issued.
