As at 31 December 2023, the Krka Group posted €43.3 million or 2% higher equity than at year-end 2022. The rise was attributable to Krka Group net profit totalling €313.7 million and acquisition of non-controlling interests totalling €1.3 million.

The Krka Group recorded provisions of €124.4 million, up €17.2 million on year-end 2022 due to higher post- employment and other non-current employee benefits, which increased by €17.3 million to €113.3 million.

In 2023, the Krka Group generated €1,799.0 million revenue from contracts with customers on sales of products and services, an increase of €90.4 million or 5% on the 2022 results. We recorded sales growth in most sales markets.
Region East Europe recorded the highest sales, €594.0 million or 33.0% of total Krka Group sales, down 5% year on year. In the Russian Federation, we made €346.8 million in product sales, a 10% drop on 2022. Sales growth denominated in Russian roubles reached 15% compared to 2022, while sales volume climbed by 7%. The difference between the euro and the rouble sales indices resulted from the considerable depreciation of the rouble. We pay special attention to Russian rouble risk management. The reduced availability of financial instruments saw us focus on natural risk mitigation methods of currency exposure in 2023. Last year, we manufactured more than 77% of all Krka products on demand in the Russian Federation in our subsidiary Krka- Rus. We recorded growth in all other regional markets, except Ukraine and Turkmenistan. In Ukraine, product sales added up to €83.4 million, resulting in 12% drop on 2022.
