Marin Pucar, the President of the Management Board of Podravka and the Croatian Employers' Association passed away

Marin Pucar, the President of the Management Board of Podravka and the Croatian Employers' Association, one of our most prominent businessmen, passed away on 6th January 2021 after a serious illness, in the General Hospital In Koprivnica.

"Once a Podravka person, always a Podravka person!" are the words that Marin Pucar, as the President of the Management Board of Podravka used to say in his always emotional addresses to his Podravka fellows. They were not just words. Every day, with every decision, activity, project, meeting or socializing, he demonstrated how much of his knowledge, enthusiasm, experience and heart he incorporated into the "company with a heart".

His professional career started at the food industry Gavrilović, from which, in 2001,

he moved to Danica, the meat industry of Podravka, where in 2002, he became its director of sales, marketing and development. In 2003, he was appointed as the Executive Director of the Croatian market in Podravka. Marin Pucar held the role of a member of the Management Board of Podravka from 2008 to 2012, after which he went to Zvečevo to the position of a member of the Management Board, and in 2014 he became and remained until August 2016, the President of the Management Board of Zvečevo. After that, in February 2017, Marin Pucar returned to Podravka as the President of the Management Board.

Marin Pucar graduated from the Faculty of Economics, University of Zagreb, and completed postgraduate scientific studies in the Marketing Theory and Policy at the same Faculty. He continued his education and, among other things, in 2020 completed his doctoral Management study at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek on the topic "Strategy for managing brand expansion in the Croatian food industry".

Significant business experience, continuous education, leadership skills and incredible energy, resulted in very successful operations of the Podravka Inc. under his leadership, as a result of organic growth and business development in the traditional markets where the Podravka Inc. has been a renowned manufacturer. This was recognized by the business community, so in addition to the numerous functions Marin Pucar held, including the position of the Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, in September 2020 he was elected the President of the Croatian Employers' Association.

The Supervisory Board appointed Martina Dalić, PhD, as the new President of the Management Board of Podravka Inc.

At its meeting held on 3rd February, the Supervisory Board of Podravka Inc. unanimously elected Martina Dalić, PhD, as the new President of the Management Board of Podravka Inc.

She comes to the position of the President of the Management Board of Podravka Inc. from the position of the director of the business consulting company Callidus Certus d.o.o., of which she is also the founder.

In her career in the public sector, she was the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia and Minister of the Economy, Entrepreneurship and Crafts (2016 – 2018), Minister of Finance (2010 – 2011), State Secretary (2004 – 2008) and Assistant Minister of Finance (1997 – 2000). She began her career in the public sector in 1995 at the Ministry of Finance. In addition, in 2011 she was elected a member of the Croatian Parliament and held that mandate until 2015.

She also gained significant experience through the private sector, so from 2008 to 2010 she was the President of the Management Board of Partner banka Zagreb, and from 2000 until 2004 the chief economist of Privredna banka Zagreb, a member of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group.

From 2015 to 2016, she was a permanent advisor for public financial management at the International Monetary Fund, Washington DC.

In the period from 2005 to 2012, Martina Dalić, PhD, was the deputy chief negotiator and negotiator in the negotiating team for the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union for four chapters (Customs union, Taxation, Financial control, and Financial and budgetary provisions).

Dividend distribution

As at 26th June 2020 the dividend was distributed to all shareholders recorded with the Central Depository and Clearing Company Inc. as at 29th May 2020. The dividend was distributed in the gross amount of HRK 9.00 per share, which equals the amount of the dividend from 2019 and implies the dividend yield of 2.2% 1 . This is a continuation of the implementation of the Podravka Inc.'s dividend distribution policy in line with business results and development plans despite current circumstances and challenges of the Podravka Inc.'s business environment.

Lino Lada ice cream wins Golden Basket product of the year award for 2019

Lino Lada ice cream, produced in cooperation of Podravka and Ledo, has won the Golden Basket award for the best product in 2019 in the Croatian market, a prestigious annual award given by the magazine Ja TRGOVAC. In the category which traditionally has the largest number of applicants and strong competition of top domestic products Lino Lada ice cream won the jury with its unique flavour and innovation. The Golden Basket is a new important recognition for Lino Lada ice cream, which was declared the best in the world by the International Ice Cream Consortium at a competition in Sweden last year. The Lino Lada brand is once again proving to be a favourite cream spread, and winning the Golden Basket for the product of the year for the second year in a row is an additional confirmation of the quality and innovation of Podravka's products.

Podravka won the 2nd prize for best investor relations

During the conference of the Zagreb Stock Exchange and pension funds held in October in Rovinj, Podravka Inc. won the second prize of Poslovni dnevnik for best investor relations. The recognition is awarded by Poslovni dnevnik in cooperation with the Zagreb Stock Exchange for the 11th year in a row with the aim of finding and drawing attention to companies with transparent operations. The award is a great recognition for the effort Podravka Inc. invests in communication with existing shareholders and other investors, all with the aim of maintaining the highest level of transparency to which Podravka Inc. has committed as a member of the Zagreb Stock Exchange Prime Market.

1 Dividend yield has been calculated as a ratio between gross amount of the dividend per share (HRK 9.00) and last trading price of the share (HRK 416.00) on the date of the General assembly (30th April 2020) when dividend payout was voted.

Operations of Podravka Inc. in conditions of COVID-19 disease

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Operations of Podravka Inc. in conditions of COVID-19 disease

Operations in 2020 were marked by the emergence of COVID-19 disease in all the Podravka Inc.'s markets. In such extraordinary circumstances, especially in conditions of strict measures introduced from March to May, and tightening of measures at the end of the year, mainly in November and December, one of the key companies responsible for ensuring the continuity of production and the regular supply of food in Croatia is Podravka Inc. Workflows within the company were fully adapted as quickly as possible to the new situation so that the production of food products took place in line with the market needs. Although in the beginning of the crisis, the conditions of purchase and supply of raw materials and packaging for production purposes were very difficult, Podravka Inc. took all the necessary steps in short time to ensure sufficient quantities of its food products, thus meeting the needs of its loyal customers in the numerous markets in which it is present. Given the increase in demand compared to the one planned for the month of March, the production was continually adjusting, and work in Podravka Inc.'s factories was organized in three and four shifts, while home office was organized for all employees of the services for which this was possible, in order to reduce potential risk of the COVID-19 disease within the system.

The change in the organization of work represented additional burdens for the IT system security, which is one of the key foundations of business continuity. Any incident in the field of IT security has the potential to cause great financial damage and disrupt the normal business processes. In order to support the increased demands of home offices, a documentation set of policies and work instructions has been defined that were adequately communicated to all users of the Podravka Inc.'s IT system.

In March 2020, in two weeks, the number of remote client connections to the Podravka Inc.'s server increased approximately twenty times due to the drastically increased work from home of large number of employees and additional information and IT systems support was required. For this reason, in a very short period and with minimal additional necessary investments, the capacities of the IT system were activated, which supported the stated requirements of home offices.

Even before the outbreak of COVID-19 in the European Union, Podravka Inc. continuously monitored the situation and took preventive and corrective measures in real time to manage potential health and business risks. With the first outbreak of COVID-19 in the Republic of Croatia, the Crisis Management Team was activated, which adopted measures in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the competent national authorities of the Republic of Croatia. With increased attention, the development of the situation in the country and the region was closely monitored, in order to ensure the health safety of employees and ensure business continuity. In addition, a separate e-mail address has been established for the two-way internal communication between employees and the Crisis Management Team, and an internal portal in order to constantly communicate the need to implement the established anti-epidemic measures on a daily basis.

In order to ensure timely and sufficient quantities of raw materials and other goods needed for the smooth running of production and sales processes, the Podravka Inc.'s procurement function during the pandemic carried out a number of activities: intensifying communication with suppliers (especially of strategic categories), using alternative modes of transporting raw materials and supplies from abroad, short-term raising of inventory levels (safety stock) for materials with longer lead time, introducing alternative suppliers wherever possible, agreeing production priorities with Production Planning, and optimising unloading and warehousing with Logistics. By implementing these activities and reacting promptly, the Podravka Inc.'s procurement function has successfully adapted to the new conditions in accordance with the current situation and needs.

In the third and fourth quarters, business operations continued in COVID-19 disease conditions. Despite the opening of borders and the arrival of tourists, part of the restrictive measures were still in force. The shoulder season was absent, and the tourist season itself was shorter than usual due to the worsening epidemiological situation in the second half of August, which made the shoulder season impossible. With the arrival of winter, the measures were tightened and from the end of November, hospitality facilities, cafes, restaurants, hotel restaurants (except for hotel guests) were forced to close their doors and the sales in the Gastro channel decreased (the Gastro channel includes HoReCa customers, institutional customers, industrial customers, etc.).

The situation caused by COVID-19 disease did not give rise to new financial risks or cause a need for provisions or impairment of assets. During 2020, financing of all business needs, maintaining liquidity, dividend distribution to shareholders and the decrease in interest rates on borrowings were ensured.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the exponential growth of cyber-attacks has accelerated. Therefore, the involvement of human resources in the Corporate and Information Security sector and IT sector in all elements of the Podravka Inc.'s IT system protection has been strengthened, with an emphasis on proactive activities aimed at reducing the risk of currently greatest security threats to the IT system (Ransomware, etc.). The occurrence of a series of phishing emails with COVID-19 topics was detected, to which users were warned by posts on the intranet and warning emails.

Despite all the above challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to the intensified efforts of the Corporate and Information Security sector and IT sector, there were no significant security incidents that would cause the unavailability of the IT system and consequently affect the company's business continuity.

Key business highlights of Podravka Inc. in 1 – 12 2020

Note: the overview and explanation of value adjustments to non-current assets used in the EBITDA calculation, the overview and explanation of items treated as one-off by management and the overview of methodology of calculation of the normalized result are provided in the "Additional tables for 1 – 12 2020" section.

Decimal differences in the document are possible due to rounding.

Given the Podravka Inc.'s range of products, the situation caused by COVID-19 disease positively impacted the sales revenues trends in the first quarter, but this impact cannot be clearly distinguished from the impact of regular demand for products. A negative impact on sales revenues arises in the second and the third quarters, while in the fourth quarter sales revenues increased. The mentioned negative impact is primarily related to restrictive measures in April and May aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19 disease (closing of the Gastro channel, shortened working hours of supermarkets, limiting the number of customers in supermarkets, ban on the movement of people outside the place of residence, closing of borders). The easing of the introduced measures started in mid-May, which was a positive moment, but despite this, there was no shoulder season in Croatia. Furthermore, the tourist season was weaker in the reporting than in the comparative period and it ended earlier than usual due to the worsening epidemiological situation in Croatia in mid-August, which also impacted the absence of the shoulder season. The epidemiological situation further deteriorated in the fourth quarter, causing the introduction of new restrictive measures in November. The Gastro channel (for which the last two months of the year are traditionally very important in terms of revenue) was completely closed, the number of customers in supermarkets was limited, which reduced the frequency of customers on a daily basis, and schools and universities were partially closed. All this affected the sales revenues trends, but the effect of the restrictive measures, the weak tourist season and reintroduction of restrictive measures and deterioration of the epidemiological situation on sales revenues cannot be clearly assessed or quantified.

In the 1 – 12 2020 period, Podravka Inc. recorded sales revenues of HRK 2,112.2m, which is HRK 33.4m (+1.6%) higher than in the comparative period. Gross profit amounted to HRK 634.4m, which is HRK 9.9m (+1.6%) higher than in the comparative period. The cost of goods sold increased by 1.6%, which resulted in a gross margin of 30.0%. The reported operating profit (EBIT) amounts to HRK 167.7m, while in the comparative period it amounted to HRK 115.2m, which is an increase of HRK 52.5m (+45.6%). A negative impact on operating profit comes from unfavourable movements in foreign exchange differences on trade receivables and trade payables (HRK -8.8m in 1 – 12 2020; HRK +4.6m in 1 – 12 2019), and a positive impact comes from savings on multiple cost levels, primarily on costs of marketing investments and selling and distribution costs. Reported net profit in the 1 – 12 2020 period amounted to HRK 193.8m, which is HRK 48.6m (+33.5%) higher compared to 1 – 12 2019. In addition, net profit was affected by negative movements of foreign exchange differences on borrowings (HRK -2.1m in 1 – 12 2020; HRK -1.0m in 1 – 12 2019), which was cancelled out by a positive impact of higher finance income and lower finance costs. Following the increase in pre-tax profit, the tax liability is HRK 20.1m higher. Normalized net profit amounted to HRK 194.0m.

As at 31 December 2020, total assets of Podravka Inc. amounted to HRK 3,056.6m, which is 0.5% higher than at the end of 2019. The significant increase on the assets side was recorded by inventories (HRK +19.4m), property plant and equipment (HRK +10.4m), investments in subsidiaries (HRK +6.0m) and deferred tax asset (HRK +4.0m), while the significant decrease was recorded by trade and other receivables (HRK -22.6m) and right-of-use assets (HRK -2.5m). On the equity and liabilities side, an increase is recorded by provisions (HRK +79.6m) and retained profit (HRK +49.8m), while a decrease is recorded by trade and other payables (HRK -44.0m) and income tax liability (HRK -14.8m). Indebtedness of Podravka Inc. decreased in the reporting period, primarily due to the repayment of a portion of borrowings, that are lower by HRK 60.4m.

Cash flow from operating activities in 1 – 12 2020 amounted to positive HRK 175.9m, due to business operations and movements in the working capital. Cash flow from investing activities at the same time amounted to negative HRK 63.1m, primarily due to cash used for the purchase of non-current tangible and intangible assets. In the same period, cash flow from financing activities amounted to negative HRK 112.7m, due to the dividend distribution and repayment of borrowings. As at 31 December 2020, cash and cash equivalents amounted to HRK 2.3m, which is at the same level as in the comparative period.
