‌Krka Group at a glance

The Krka Group develops, produces, markets, and sells human health products (prescription pharmaceuticals and non-prescription products), animal health products, and health resort and tourist services.

The Krka Group consists of the controlling company, Krka, d. d., Novo mesto, a subsidiary in Slovenia, Terme Krka, d. o. o., Novo mesto, and 33 subsidiaries outside Slovenia. The controlling company is the sole owner in all subsidiaries except two. Krka holds a 60%, and the Chinese partner, Ningbo Menovo Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., a 40% stake in our joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. in China.

In April 2024, Krka, d. o. o., Novo mesto (Slovenia) and Laurus Labs Ltd. (India) established a joint venture, Krka Pharma Private Limited, in Hyderabad, India. Krka holds a 51% stake in the company, while Laurus Labs Ltd. holds a 49% stake. At the beginning of October 2024, we paid in €2.5 million of initial capital into the joint venture, and on 10 March 2025, we paid the second instalment of registered capital totalling € 9.2 million.

Production takes place in the controlling company in Slovenia and at Krka subsidiaries in the Russian Federation, Poland, Croatia, and Germany. These subsidiaries, apart from Krka-Rus in the Russian Federation, deal with marketing and sales in addition to production. In China, production takes place in long-term leased production facilities. Other subsidiaries outside Slovenia market and/or sell Krka products, but do not have production capacities. The subsidiary Terme Krka provides health resort and tourist services and owns Golf Grad Otočec.

‌2025 Krka Group business plan

Product and service sales are projected at over €2 billion. Average annual sales growth over the five-year period is planned at 5.5%.
We expect to generate 94% of sales in markets outside Slovenia.
Prescription pharmaceuticals are expected to remain the most important product group and account for more than 80% of overall sales.
Full-year net profit is estimated at €365 million.
We plan to allocate €150 million to investments, primarily in expanding and upgrading production facilities and infrastructure, of which €120 million into our capacities and €30 million.
The total number of employees in Slovenia and abroad is projected to increase by 1%.

The 2025 business objectives derive from the 2024-2028 Krka Group Development Strategy and are based on estimates, assessments, projections, and other available data. The Management Board believes the projections are reasonable. In the event of major changes in the business environment, e.g. price erosion, rising prices of raw materials, changes in exchange rates for certain currencies important for us, and a decrease in demand for pharmaceutical products, the actual operating results can deviate from the plan.

‌BUSINESS REPORT ‌Financial risks

Foreign exchange risk

Our key currency risk management policy remains to mitigate currency risk exposure by natural hedging. We also use financial instruments to a limited extent.

The Russian rouble continues to represent the largest Krka Group currency risk. International markets offer no financial instruments to mitigate this risk, therefore we have adopted natural hedging strategies.

The value of the Russian rouble expressed in euros increased by 28.8% from the beginning to the end of the year, while the average value of the rouble expressed in euros increased by 0.3% year on year.

We continued to hedge the risk exposure to the US dollar with financial instruments in the first quarter of 2025. Unlike other currencies, exposure to the US dollar arises from a surplus of liabilities over assets from regular business operations; in other words, the currency position is short. Exposure to the US dollar arises primarily from purchasing raw and other materials.

The value of the US dollar expressed in euros decreased by 3.9% over the first quarter. However, the average value of the dollar increased by 3.2% year on year.

Other currencies of importance for our operations remained stable in the first quarter of 2025.

Currency risk result, composed of net exchange differences and derivative income and expenses, amounted to

€54.3 million. Krka Group net financial result of €56.8 million comprised currency risk result, interest income and expenses, and other financial income and expenses.

Credit risk

The key credit risk of the Krka Group arises from trade receivables. All Krka Group clients with credit limits exceeding €20,000 go through the centralised credit control process. We had over 670 such clients at the end of the first quarter of 2025, accounting for more than 95% of total trade receivables. Small client credit control is decentralised and exercised in the sales network under the constant supervision of the controlling company.

Our credit risk management policy remained unchanged in the first three months of 2025. At the end of the first quarter, more than 90% of Krka Group trade receivables were secured with a credit insurance company.

At the end of the first quarter, the total value of trade receivables expressed in euros was 10% higher than at the beginning of the year. The maturity structure of receivables remained stable. Overdue receivables to total trade receivables remained within acceptable limits at the end of the first quarter.

‌Investor and share information

The Krka share price on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange increased by 23.7% during the first three months of 2025, trading at €172.00 on 31 March 2025. Holdings of Slovenian legal entities and institutional investors and treasury shares increased in the period, while stakes of foreign investors decreased. We recorded no change in other holdings. Krka had 47,460 shareholders at the end of March 2025.

Region Slovenia

Holding a 7.6% market share, we maintained the leading position among providers of medicines in Slovenia in terms of sales value.

Products from our key therapeutic categories promoted in marketing campaigns contributed most substantially to sales, above all those for cardiovascular diseases; pain relief; the central nervous system; the gastrointestinal tract; and vitamins and minerals.

Our key prescription pharmaceutical brands for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases were perindopril-based products. Amlessa (perindopril/amlodipine) and Amlewel (perindopril/amlodipine/indapamide) from this family brand recorded the strongest sales and contributed the most to brand awareness in the country. Of our statin product group, we strengthened the leading market position of Sorvasta (rosuvastatin) and bolstered the recognition of the single-pill combination Sorvitimb (rosuvastatin/ezetimibe). We also increased recognition of our oral anticoagulant, Daxanlo (dabigatran).

Of our antidiabetic agents, we raised recognition of two antihyperglycemic agents from the dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor product group: a mono-component agent Maysiglu (sitagliptin) and a single-pill combination Maymetsi (sitagliptin/metformin). Our leading pain relievers were a NSAID Nalgesin Forte (naproxen), a non-opioid analgesic Algominal (metamizole), and an analgesic Daleron 1000 (paracetamol).

We further strengthened the recognition of two central nervous agents, the antipsychotic Parnido (paliperidone) and the antidepressant Dulsevia (duloxetine).

We were the first generic manufacturer who was granted marketing authorisations for a single-pill analgesic Delanxara* (tramadol/dexketoprofen) film-coated tablets. One tablet contains two active ingredients with different mechanisms of action, generating a synergistic and complementary effect to alleviate moderate to severe acute pain at relatively low dosage.

Installation of new packaging lines in the existing facility will boost the capacities for packaging animal health tablets and spot-on products.

At the Ljutomer plant, Slovenia, we intend to increase production capacities for uncoated lozenges and upgrade the line for continued production of lozenges. We are about to start building an automated high-bay warehouse and expanding the plant.

The construction of a technically and technologically advanced waste water treatment plant in Krško, Slovenia, has been completed and installation works are currently underway. We plan to postpone the construction of other buildings for a few years. We are still in the process of obtaining the environmental protection and chemical safety (SEVESO) permits.
