INTRODUCTION

The condensed financial statements of the Krka Group and the condensed financial statements of Krka, d. d., Novo mesto (Krka, d. d., Krka, or the controlling company) for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019 are unaudited, while the financial statements for the full 2019 business year are audited. Krka, d. d., Novo mesto does not have any authorised capital, nor any conditionally increased share capital.

Krka promptly announces all significant changes of data in its listing prospectus in the Ljubljana Stock Exchange electronic information dissemination system (SEOnet), in the Polish Financial Supervision Authority electronic information dissemination system (ESPI), and/or in the daily newspaper Delo. Reports on the performance of the Krka Group and Krka, d. d. are available on the Krka website www.krka.si.

At its regular meeting of 20 May 2020, the Supervisory Board of Krka discussed the unaudited report of the Krka Group and the Krka for the first quarter of 2020.

Quarterly Business Performance Highlights

  • The Krka Group sold €461.7 million worth of products and services, of which product sales accounted for almost 99%.
  • Compared to the same period last year, Krka Group sales of products and services increased by €84.4 million or 22%.
  • The Group generated 95% of product and service sales outside Slovenia. The proportion of export in product sales was 96%.
  • Region East Europe recorded the highest absolute sales growth (€31.0 million), and Region Central Europe recorded the highest relative growth (32%).
  • Accounting for 33.2% of overall sales, Krka Group's largest sales region was Region East Europe.
  • The Group generated operating profit of €133.9 million, up 85% over the same period last year. EBITDA amounted to €162.0 million, a 62% year-on-year increase.
  • The Krka Group recorded net profit totalling €85.2 million or a 21% rise on the same period last year.
  • As at 31 March 2020, the Krka share traded at €64.80 on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, an 11.5% drop on year-end 2019. Market

capitalisation of Krka amounted to €2.1 billion.

  • The Krka Group allocated €14.9 million to investments, of that €9.8 million to the controlling company.
  • At the end of March 2020, the Krka Group had 11,622 regularly employed persons on payroll. Together with agency workers, the Krka Group had a total of 12,791 persons on payroll or 21 more than at the end of 2019.
  • After the coronavirus pandemic had been declared, the Krka Group adopted all necessary measures to curb the spread of infection, protect the health of our employees, and ensure business continuity. In this way, we ensured an unbroken supply chain and sufficient supply of medicines on global markets.

We immediately took action to reduce sanitary and health risks by considering the experiences and measures adopted by our Chinese partners and Italian companies. We adjusted our processes to guarantee social distancing and the availability of personal protective equipment. Our relevant departments issued a series of instructions and recommendations for performing work processes and responsible behaviour at work and at home.

In order to further reduce risk of infection, we ordered approximately 50% of our employees in Slovenia to be on standby at home in the period

from 16 March to 14 April, including parents of children up to ten years of age, pregnant women, and employees with chronic diseases vulnerable to coronavirus. During that time, only Krka employees directly involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply processes came to work to Krka's premises to cater for vital support. We enabled access to IT systems and services to our homebound employees. In this way, they were available all the time and worked uninterruptedly from home. Work at Krka's production and distribution facilities abroad went on without interruptions. Marketing and sales processes were carried out in different ways, primarily by using e-tools, and in dependence of government measures undertaken by individual countries. Since the beginning of May, most our employees in Slovenia have been working from their regular work posts. Strict safety measures are applied at all times to prevent and reduce the impact of the new virus.

We recorded no major impact on average daily production volume of finished products at the Krka Group. During the pandemic, raw and production material purchasing continued with minimal disruption. Quality assurance and quality control went uninterrupted. Due to social distancing, we had to change our product promotion approach and our departments adapted their workflow to the current situation and made greater use of e-technologies.

No insurmountable problems arose with logistics, but land transport shipping times have increased, containers have been in short supply for maritime transport, while air transport has been limited.

Our business model of vertical integration comprises development, quality control, a wellorganised supply chain, the many production sites that we own, marketing-and-sales activities, and support services. It covers a wide array of processes and activities on the global level. As a result, the Krka Group did not record any negative impact on the supply chain.

There is no way to foresee the pace with which the disease will spread, how the situation will develop, what the aftermath will be, and what measures affected nations will take. Therefore, the Krka management continues to carefully monitor the developments in countries where we operate.

Sales growth in this period was also affected by an increased demand for Krka products as a result of coronavirus. Towards the end of the period, the demand slowed down and is currently at the planned and anticipated level.

BUSINESS REPORT

Financial Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Krka Group operates in diverse international environments and is exposed to foreign exchange risk in a few 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 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 derivative financial instruments. In 2020, we have continued our policy of partial hedging against the risk related to the Russian rouble and the U.S. dollar by financial instruments.

The risk of reduced global economic growth as a result of the coronavirus increased exchange rate volatility in currency markets in the second half of February. The value of the Russian rouble further dropped in the first half of March, after the OPEC+ alliance failed to reach an agreement on extending and increasing the cuts in oil production. Because of this, oil prices slumped to a record low, and the Russian rouble fell. Over the first quarter, the value of the rouble denominated in the euro fell by 18.6%. The average value of the Russian rouble in the first quarter of 2020 climbed by 1.5% over the same

Interest Rate Risk

In the first quarter 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 clients will fail to settle their liabilities by maturity dates. The Krka Group introduced a centralised credit control process that involves all clients with whom Krka's annual product sales exceed €100,000. At the end of 2019, there were more than 450 clients of that kind, accounting for over 95% of trade receivables.

period in 2019. In the first three months of 2020, the Krka Group generated foreign exchange losses from the long position in the Russian rouble, which were partially neutralised through income from forward contracts.

Due to plummeting capital markets and the anticipated fiscal and monetary measures in individual countries, the value of the Polish złoty, Romanian leu, Croatian kuna, Hungarian forint, and Czech koruna also saw a slight drop. The effect of the change in value of the currencies on the Krka Group's net financial result is significantly lower than the impact of the Russian rouble.

The exchange rate was highly volatile throughout the first quarter, and the value of the U.S. dollar climbed by 2.5%. The Krka Group has accrued a surplus of liabilities over assets in the U.S. dollar and a short currency position. The negative impact of the dollar value growth was neutralised through derivative financial instruments.

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, the total net financial result of the first quarter of 2020 was negative and amounted to -€32.7 million.

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

Our credit risk management policy remained unchanged in the first quarter of 2020. We closely monitor clients from markets with a less favourable macroeconomic environment and markets where we have identified increased risks in distribution of medicines.

Sales went up in the first quarter, so we intensified activities for managing trade receivables. In the first quarter, trade receivables rose by 17%, primarily owing to sales growth in the period. The maturity

Liquidity Risk

In the first quarter of 2020, risks related to the Krka Group's liquidity were managed by effective shortterm cash planning. We employed cash flows from operating activities to provide for adequate shortterm liquidity. During the first quarter of 2020, we did not draw any additional funds by pre-agreed shortstructure of receivables remained stable. The percentage of overdue receivables compared to total trade receivables remained low also at the end of the first quarter. We identified no particularities when collecting receivables.

At the end of the first quarter, almost 70% of trade receivables were insured with a credit insurance company, and a small portion of trade receivables was insured by banking instruments.

term 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 in subsidiary bank accounts. All Krka Group liabilities were settled on time.

Property, Liability, and Business Interruption Insurance

In the first quarter, Krka concluded insurance contracts for 2020 and extended liability insurance for Management and Supervisory Board members at the end of March. Despite the fact that the scope of the insured property increased, the insurance

Investor and Share Information

In the first three months of 2020, the Krka share price declined by 11% on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange. In the same period, holdings of domestic retail investors and treasury shares increased. Holdings of legal premium grew slower than sales. In transport insurance, we significantly simplified the administrative procedures in January, because we introduced electronic certificates and paperless communication.

Investments

In the first quarter of 2020, the Krka Group allocated €14.9 million to investments, of that €9.8 million to the controlling company. Our investments were aimed at increasing and technologically upgrading production and development, and providing quality assurance. We also invested in our own production and distribution centres around the world.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic impact on construction industry our investments in the first quarter of 2020 lagged behind the plan. We will nevertheless endeavour to meet the investment plan to the largest possible extent by the end of the year.

To ensure additional storage room for incoming materials and finished products, we started building a multipurpose warehouse at Krka's central site in Ločna, Novo mesto, at the end of 2017. This improved production speed and flexibility, product availability and market supply. At the beginning of 2020, Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices of the Republic of Slovenia (JAZMP) granted us an operating permit, so all requirements for the start-up of the multi-purpose warehouse were met. The investment was worth slightly more than €34 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 a new packaging facility. The investment was estimated at €41 million. When the plant is fully We expanded our market opportunities by obtaining marketing authorisations for Pikovit film-coated tablets in Region Overseas Markets.

technologically equipped, it will be able to operate at its planned volume to manufacture 5 billion and pack 8 billion tablets per year.

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

In Krško, construction of a new warehouse started in June 2019. It will provide for 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). Completion of the €8.2 million building is planned for 2020.

Several small investments in modernisation of the Notol plant, the solid form production plant (OTO) and the Beta plant are in progress at the controlling company.

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. We produce 81% of all products intended for the Russian market at Krka-Rus. We have the status of a domestic producer in the Russian Federation. In the next few years, we plan to increase manufacturing and laboratory capacities of the existing and partly refurbished premises of Krka-Rus 1 and Krka-Rus 2. 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 site taken on long-term 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 China. In 2019, we started manufacturing several products for markets outside China in leased facilities where we additionally installed production and quality assurance equipment. The procurement of equipment will continue in 2020.

Educational structure of the Krka Group

We provide continuous recruitment of talented employees by awarding scholarships. At the end of March, we listed 110 scholarship holders, primarily pharmacy and chemistry students. We also grant scholarships to exceptional students from other fields of interest to Krka. This year, 18 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 March, 150 employees were enrolled in part-time graduate studies co-funded by Krka, 46 of them in postgraduate studies.

Krka is also included in the national vocational qualification (NVQ) system. Between 2002 and the end of 2019, we awarded 1,456 NVQ certificates to Krka employees and 142 to participants from other organisations in the pharmaceutical industry, a total of 1,598 certificates for four vocational qualifications. By the end of March 2020, 58 employees successfully completed their training. At the moment, 202 Krka employees are included in the process of obtaining NVQ.

The majority of non-current trade payables included payables 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 payables 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.
