Over 70 years, Krka has made some bold moves to position itself as a world-leading generic pharmaceutical company.
Our product and service sales annually amount to more than €1.8 billion. Our high-quality, safe and effective medicines are used to treat more than 50 million patients in more than 70 countries every day. Stable sales growth, investments, multiple development projects, and sound business performance have seen us grow into a pharmaceutical business group of the controlling company in Slovenia and many subsidiaries and representative offices in more than 45 countries. Krka’s sound business performance is the key to boosting business value, a stable dividend policy, and high dividend yield.
Performance indicators
STABLE DIVIDEND POLICY
Krka’s annual dividend yield averaged almost 5% over the last ten years, outperforming the generic pharmaceutical production sector. We endeavour to deliver steady intra-annual dividend growth, which averaged 14.1% over the last ten years.
It can be expected that a stable dividend policy will be pursued going forward, too. Account being taken of the Krka Group’s investment needs and financial requirements, we intend to allocate at least fifty percent of net profit earned by majority shareholders to dividend payout.
STRONG CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Every year, our operating activities generate a strong cash flow, which augments the sustainability and profitability of our operations; sound working capital management; and stellar performance of the Krka Group business model.
A strong cash flow means we can regularly discharge all current operating liabilities, cover capital expenditure, research and investment costs, and dividend payments, and implement a treasury share repurchase programme.
STABLE CAPITAL STRUCTURE
An absence of indebtedness coupled with a strong cash flow from operations contributes to Krka’s sound financial standing. Financial surpluses are reported each year, and investors receive their returns in dividends and through a treasury share repurchase programme. Financial surplus translates into investments, long-term business connections, acquisitions and repurchase of treasury shares. It is a tool for pursuing a stable dividend policy and alleviating pressures in time of economic turbulence.
Our financial discipline is highly regarded by our business partners. Together with financial accountability, it offers increased flexibility and resilience and supports further growth.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development is one of our core principles. We are a socially responsible company that cares for its employees and takes an interest in the wider community and the environment in which it operates. We devote effort to protecting the natural environment and work to maintain a strong corporate integrity.
