Krka's New Treatment Options Trailblazing to Accommodate Patient Needs
www.krka.biz
• Diabetes continues to be a promising segment for innovative generic Krka products.
Example: Krka was the first manufacturer in Europe to market 90 mg gliclazide
prolonged-release tablets, which permit dose adjustment in patients with type-2
diabetes, and is among Europe’s leading generic manufacturers of gliclazide
prolonged-release tablets.
• Proprietary capacities for oncology medicines in Croatia (EU). Already at the end
of May 2017, we started transferring technologies and production of the first
oncology medicines to the dedicated plant. In the future, oncology products will be
supplemented with new molecules in parenteral and oral forms.
• As to similar biological medicines, focus is placed on evaluating and entry into
projects for medicinal products for the treatment of diabetes and autoimmune
diseases. Products will be developed in strategic cooperation with specialist partner
companies. The role of Krka will be to provide know-how in the area of quality,
clinical testing of efficacy and safety, preparing expert and regulatory documents,
and marketing authorisations.

Krka's New Treatment Options Trailblazing to Accommodate Patient Needs

Investments
In the first nine months of 2019, the Krka Group allocated €81.1 million to investments.
In October, Krka's key investment for the purposes of development and quality assurance in the following years, the
€55.6 million product development and quality control facility, Razvojno-kontrolni center 4 (RKC 4), was opened at the
production site in Novo mesto.
In October 2017, Krka started building a multipurpose warehouse to ensure additional storage rooms for incoming materials
and finished products. The entire transport system and warehouse are expected to become operational in January 2020. The
entire investment is estimated at €36 million.
In order to meet the increasing demand and manufacture of new products, Krka is purchasing additional technological
equipment for Notol 2 plant. In 2019, this investment will total €16 million. When the plant is fully equipped, it will be able to
operate at its planned volume, i.e. 5 billion tablets per year.
In progress are preparations for the construction of a new hazardous materials warehouse in Krško. The new building will
store raw materials for chemical and pharmaceutical production. The construction of the €8.2 million building will be finished in
July 2020.
In February 2019, the EU introduced new rules regarding the protection of public health by preventing the entry of falsified
medicinal products into the pharmaceutical supply chain. The Directive introduces obligatory safety features on the outer
packaging of medicines, which prevent falsified medicines from reaching patients. In accordance with these requirements, we
upgraded the technological equipment and manufacturing procedures on many levels. Over the last three years, we
allocated approximately €20 million for the new equipment and technology. Safety measures required by Russian legislation as
of 2020 are also included in this investment.
The Krka-Rus plant, north-west of Moscow, is one of the key investments in Krka's subsidiaries. We are designing additional
manufacturing and laboratory capacities, which will be important for the future business development in Russia. The investment
is estimated at €33 million and will increase manufacturing capacities to 3 billion tablets per year.
At the end of 2017, we established a joint venture Ningbo Krka Menovo with a local partner Menovo in the city of Ningbo,
China. In 2018 we obtained a GMP certificate for leased production facilities. Commercial manufacture of the first product
intended for markets outside China began at the end of 2018. At the same time, we filed all registration documents required to
sell the product in China. In 2019, we will file registration documents for another five MAs for our products in China. 16

www.krka.biz
2019 Guidelines
The Management Board updates the guidelines for the full 2019 business
year.
The 2019 plan projects:
• sales at €1.430 billion (+4%*);
• net profit at over €200 million (+16%*);
• we intend to allocate €114 million to investment projects, primarily to
increase and upgrade production facilities and the infrastructure;
• 10% of our revenue is allocated to research and development.
23
*compared to initial 2019 guidelines (sales €1.375 million and net profit €173 million)
www.krka.biz
Guidelines for Krka′s 2020 performance Management Committed to Growth
The 2020 plan projects:
• sales at €1,520 million (+6%);
• net profit at over €210 million;
• CAPEX at €134 million.
The Management Board remains committed to pursuing
stable dividend policy and intends to allocate at least 50% of
net profit for dividends considering also financial needs,
investments and acquisitions.
The 2020 business plan is based on the Krka Group development
strategy for the period 2020–2024, which is based on the
expectations, estimates and forecasts, and other information
available to the Management Board. The management believes that
expectations are reasonable. If the operating conditions deviate
significantly more than expected in 2020, the operating results may
also deviate from the projections.

Krka‘s position
LEGEND
www.krka.biz
From 2020 to 2024, patents for original products worth a total of
$159 billion at originator prices will expire: this is approximately a
quarter less than over the past five years.
The cost of discovering a new medicine has increased to $2.2 billion
per medicine, almost double from $1.2 billion in 2010, while sales of
new original products are decreasing in terms of value. Ability to
manage existing portfolio is thus becoming more important for the
industry as a whole.
Originators continue to extend the life cycle of products by changing
the existing products, by introducing new pharmaceutical forms, by
providing additional concentrations of active ingredients, and by
ensuring additional indications and advanced delivery systems.
Vertical integration allows for better management of development and
production stages, and thus more successful product lifecycle
management.
Industry Trends Fewer patents expiring in the next five years
put a greater emphasis on life-cycle management
27
Having always emphasized new
launches as well as managing the
life-cycle of an existing portfolio,
Krka is well positioned to benefit
from existing and new products in
the next five years due to key
advantages in the fields of:
NEW LAUNCHES
- Krka′s strong in-house R&D and
regulatory teams;
- good track-record of first-to-file and
first-to-market;
- Krka′s R&D, API and FDF vertical
integration.
LIFE-CYCLE OF EXISTING PRODUCTS
- Krka′s recognition and experience in
new fixed dosages, unique delivery
systems, additional concentrations;
- strong M&S and brand awareness on
traditional markets;
- vertical integration.
www.krka.biz
Many companies are facing challenges in launching new
products after they have already obtained all the necessary
approvals.
Up to 40% of delays are attributed to issues with supplies of
raw materials.
Following a number of product recalls, safety and quality
assurance are becoming decisive competitive advantages.
FMD is also challenging for many producers, causing delays,
and significantly lower output. Hardware and software upgrades
alone have cost those present in the EU market more than
€1 billion.
The Russian Federation has already been preparing to
introduce a similar system to FMD, but with more stringent
requirements.
28
Industry Trends Quality, Compliance and Vertical Integration Becoming Key Advantages
Krka as a vertically integrated company
will benefit from producing APIs and
FDFs in-house, as well as from having a
very strong QA/QC.
Due to fully compliant products, Krka
was able to offset market shortages
following certain product recalls.
Krka was one of the first producers to
fully prepare for FMD and has
established strong in-house teams with
solid know-how. Similar projects are
already under way in Krka for the
Russian Federation.
www.krka.biz
Key Strategic Guidelines 2020–2024 Sales, CAPEX, R&D Expenditure, M&A
29
Investments to amount to an average of €136 million per year
39% for FDF production;
37% for API and raw materials production;
24% for infrastructure, IT, and other.
Mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures
In addition to organic growth, Krka intends to expand through acquisitions and long-term business
partnerships, including joint ventures, in case of commercially appealing and available projects.

Focus on European markets, Central Asia and China
