Net change in cash and cash equivalents (exclusive of exchange rate fluctuations) of the Krka Group totalled €171.5 million in 2024, because the positive cash flows from operating and investing activities outstripped the negative cash flow from financing activities.
The Krka Group created €489.7 million operating profit before changes in net current assets. Changes in current assets that positively impacted cash flow included changes in deferred revenue and other current liabilities, while changes in trade receivables, inventories, trade payables, and provisions had a negative impact. Income tax paid additionally resulted in a decrease in net cash flows from operating activities.
Positive cash flows from investing activities of €75.1 million primarily accrued from proceeds from sale of noncurrent investments of €71.2 million; current investments of €477.2 million; and net proceeds from current loans of €55.5 million. Dividends paid and other profit shares of €230.9 million and treasury share repurchases of €25.0 million contributed the most to negative cash flows from financing activities in total of €264.5 million.

*Sales of leading products are presented by the leading active ingredient. Combination medicines that incorporate this active ingredient are also included. Products marketed under different product brand names or the Krka trademark in individual markets are marked with an asterisk.
In 2024, we expanded our product range with twenty-two new products, including eighteen new prescription pharmaceuticals, and three additions to our portfolio of consumer health products and food supplements, and one veterinary medicine.
We pursue our development strategy with project approach and constant investments and maintain the highest quality throughout a product's life cycle in compliance with requirements of all markets where we are present. In 2024, we finalised over 1,000 registration procedures for new and already established products and received approvals for more than 24,000 regulatory variations to ensure uninterrupted supply to various markets.
We filed nine patent applications for new technological solutions we evaluated as innovations at the global ranking level. As per priority applications from 2023, we filed seven international and two European patent applications. We were granted four patents in various countries. Overall, over 200 valid patents protect our technological solutions.
We filed 134 applications for Krka trademarks in Slovenia. We also filed 75 international and 34 national trademark applications. Overall, we held authorisations in various countries for 1,100 different marks.
We obtained marketing authorisations for four new single-pill cardiovascular agents. Kanpiduo* (candesartan/indapamide) is a unique medication in Europe that combines candesartan, a contemporary angiotensin II receptor blocker, and indapamide, a diuretic. It is available in tablets. Taken once daily, this convenient medication provides stable blood pressure control in patients who have already been treated with candesartan and indapamide. We concluded marketing authorisation procedures for Valomindo* (valsartan/indapamide) 80 mg/1.5 mg modified-release tablets, a new strength of this blood pressure lowering agent, and Co-Atoris* (atorvastatin/ezetimibe) film-coated tablets indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia and prevention cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and a history of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We were granted marketing authorisations under the decentralised procedure for our triple single-pill combination Co-Amlessa Neo* (perindopril arginine/amlodipine/indapamide) tablets. Our new perindopril formulation enables tailoring of the treatment to the needs of individual patients in various countries.
As the first provider of generic medicines, we obtained marketing authorisations under the decentralised procedure for our antithrombotic agent Delianda (edoxaban) film-coated tablets. Edoxaban is a value-added antithrombotic agent. It is distinguished by once-daily administration, which ensures good patient compliance, and a reduced risk of bleeding.
We obtained marketing authorisations for our contemporary central nervous agent Varesta (vortioxetine) filmcoated tablets indicated for the treatment of major depressive episodes in adults. Vortioxetine differs from other antidepressants in its mechanism of action, which simultaneously modulates neurotransmission in several systems, and is therefore a medicine of choice for patients with severe forms of the disease.
We were granted marketing authorisations for Apremilast Krka (apremilast) film-coated tablets for safe and effective systemic treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis in adult patients. It is also indicated for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis and the treatment of oral ulcers associated with Behçet's disease.
We also obtained marketing authorisations for Eltrombopag Krka (eltrombopag) film-coated tablets. It is indicated for the treatment of various types of thrombocytopenia and severe aplastic anaemia.
We were granted marketing authorisations under the centralised procedure for our oncology agent Pomalidomide Krka (pomalidomide) hard capsules. It is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with advanced forms of multiple myeloma as it reduces signs and symptoms and slows down disease progression.
We developed and were authorised to market a new strength of Vitamin D3 Krka (cholecalciferol) 30 000 IU tablets indicated for prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency and as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of osteoporosis. The new strength helps tailor the treatment to patients' needs. We are one of the few manufacturers whose vitamin D products were granted marketing authorisations as prescription pharmaceuticals.
We also received approvals for Nalgesin Duo (naproxen/paracetamol) film-coated tablets, our innovative single-pill combination indicated for relieving mild to moderate pain. This is the first marketing authorisation for the single-pill combination of naproxen and paracetamol in the Russian Federation. We also supported it with our clinical study.
We were granted marketing authorisations for several new products in China. Marketing authorisations were granted for two cardiovascular single-pill combinations, our new amlodipine/valsartan film-coated tablets for treating hypertension, and amlodipine/atorvastatin film-coated tablets for the concomitant treatment of arterial hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. We obtained marketing authorisations for our bisoprolol-based film-coated tablets, one of the essential therapies for many cardiovascular conditions, for example hypertension, coronary artery disease, and heart failure. Also, we received approvals for our three combinations in film-coated tablets, containing hydrochlorothiazide and contemporary angiotensin II receptor blockers: a combination of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide; a combination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide; and a combination of olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide. We were granted marketing authorisations for a central nervous system agent, aripiprazole tablets. This atypical antipsychotic is associated with fewer adverse drug reactions than other agents from the same product group.
Herbion Iceland Moss lozenges contain dry extract of Icelandic moss, relieve irritation of the mucosa in the throat and mouth, and the associated dry cough, and can be taken by adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older.
We added two new products to our portfolio of food supplements. They contain beta-glucan and a combination of vitamins and minerals for immune support. Imunogard Krka Junior strawberry-flavoured powder for solution contains beta-glucan, vitamins A, C, D, and zinc, and is intended for children aged three years and older. Imunogard Krka lemon-flavoured powder for solution contains beta-glucan, vitamins C, A, D, B6, B9, and B12, and minerals zinc, selenium, and manganese. It can be taken by adults and adolescents aged 14 years and older.
We obtained marketing authorisations for Otomicol, on other markets also marketed as Otosur, (miconazole/prednisolone/polymyxin) ear drops and cutaneous suspension. We obtained marketing authorisations in several European countries for this triple-combination product for the treatment of primary and secondary infections of skin and skin adnexa in dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, as well as for the treatment of otitis externa in dogs and cats.
