OlainFarm to Receive Corporate Income Tax Exemption for 5.21 Million Lats

07/05/2013

AS “OlainFarm” will be given corporate income tax exemption for approved long term investments made within the project “Introduction of new products and improved exporting capacity”. This decision was made on the meeting of Cabinet of Ministers held on May 7, and was based on assessment done by the Ministry of Economy about impact such exemption would have on national economy and local competition.  It is planned that the total tax exemption could be as high as 5.21 million lats.

“We are glad about such decision our government has made to provide this tax exemption to AS “OlainFarm”.  It is a very significant support for us to introduce new products and further develop our sales markets,” says Salvis Lapins, Member of the Board of AS “OlainFarm”.

 The project “Introduction of new products and improved exporting capacity” provides that “AS „OlainFarm” will introduce several new products and will significantly adjust several production processes and increase production efficiency. In total, within this project AS „OlainFarm” will invest 22.95 million lats over the course of five years.  Tax exemption will be applicable upon completion of the project.

 Part of the investments that AS “OlainFarm” will make within this project (5.29 million lats) will be merged with co-funding of European Regional Development Fund approved by Latvian Investment and Development Agency as part of “High Added Value Investments “.

 

As regulations of both support programmes allow combining tax exemptions with funding approved as part of other programmes and with the respective eligible costs, investmets worth 5.29 million lats supported by LIDA and ERDF are also included in the support programme adopted by the Cabinet.

Since intensity of the support in LIDA’s project approved for AS “OlainFarm” is 35% of totas eligible costs and since company qualifies as big commercial company, a tax exemption of 15% will be applied for investments made from project approved by LIDA, while the rate of 25% is applicable to other investments worth 17.65 million lats.

“Olainfarm” Celebrates 40th Anniversary, Plans to Invest About 35 Million Lats over the Coming decade

15/10/2012

On October 12, AS “Olainfarm” celebrated 40 years since first batch of furaginum was synthesized, which marked the beginning of company’s operations.  During the celebrations Chairman of the Boards Mr. Valerijs Maligins not only had reviewed the major achievements, but also came up with forecasts regarding the expected development during the next decade; the company plans to invest about 35 million lats and maintain the growth of about 10-15% per annum, which, if more favourable scenario develops, could be even as high as 20-30%.

„Olainfarm” faces its 40th anniversary in a very good shape – we have gained some experience, increased the production output, entered some new markets and have extended out product portfolio.  Basically we are very well prepared for stable growth and further expansion to new markets in coming years.  This gives me a reason to forecast that during the next decade, with the pessimistic scenario our growth will be at the level of 10-15%.  However, “Olainfarm” has all the necessary resources to maintain its growth level at about 20-25% or even 30% per annum.  Besides, we do not only grow on our own, we grow in cooperation with local and international partners and with the World Health Organisation,” says Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of Olainfarm’s Board.

V. Maligins emphasizes: „The most important factor influencing development of “Olainfarm” over the last 40 years and expected to influence it further are people: our employees, scientists, partners, patients. I would like to thank them and wish them further growth together with “Olainfarm”.”

Fourth Quarter 2011 Investor Conference Webinar

07/03/2012

On March 6 AS „Olainfarm” organized its fourth quarter 2011 Investor Conference Online Webinar for investors. During the webinar the member of the management board of AS „Olainfarm” Salvis Lapiņš analysed the financial results of fourth quarter and 12 months of 2011 and informed about the company’s plans for 2012.

According to Salvis Lapiņš, this year in dividends it is planned to pay out 10-15% of company’s profit of 2011, if it will be approved by Olainfarm’s shareholders in the next annual general meeting.

During the webinar, Salvis Lapiņš also informed that the company is moving forward with the liquidity provider program and it is planned to launch the market making of company’s shares in April 2012.

In relation to acquisition of pharmacies, Salvis Lapiņš revealed that the total sum spent on the acquisition reached 4.5 million LVL, from which 80% was bank’s financing, while the rest 20% was covered by Olainfarm. It is planned that during 2012 total sales of all pharmacies will reach 7 million lats.

Answering the question about the economical sanctions against Belarus and their possible impact on the company, Salvis Lapiņš informed that it is unlikely that sanctions will also include the embargo of medicine import, therefore Olainfarm most probably won’t be directly affected by them.

Answers to questions unanswered during the webinar.

16/01/2012

Question: There was a twofold increase of loans to management and employees over Q3 2011 to LVL 1.3 million: what are the major terms and conditions of those loans – interest rate, collateral, term etc?

Answer: Many of the loans referred to here are loans to employees for conditions similar to those that company gets from its bank. The biggest share of the loans is to Mr. Maligins, however, Mr. Maligins has also lent significant amounts to the company but because they were subordinated to the bank loan, it was not possible to offset them. Recently the bank has allowed us to offset these loans against each other and as of the end of 2011 loan to Mr. Maligins is fully settled.

Question: Purchases of property, plant and equipment in 9 months 2011 amounted to LVL 2.2 million. The question is: what are the main items in which investments were made?

Answer: The main items are: equipment and machinery (mainly analytical) 0.7 million lats, advanced payments for fixed assets and construction 0.7 million lats (as this is cash flow you are referring to), other fixed assets 0.2 million lats, costs of registration 0.16 million lats.

Question: According to the cash flow statement, proceeds from issue of shares was a negative LVL 352K in 9 months 2011: did the company buy own shares and if it did for what purpose?

Answer: Unfortunately there has been a misrecord in our books. In fact these are the dividends we paid and should have been booked respectively. Thanks for pointing this out to us, and for a year-end report this will be booked correctly.

Question: What are the basic commercial terms based on which “marketing expense” is formed, in which markets and to which companies it is paid?

Answer: Our approach towards the marketing expenses differs from country to country. In some countries (Belarus, Latvia, Tajikistan) we have our own representative office conducting marketing activities. In Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Moldova we have outsourced marketing services from a regional or local pharma marketing companies. For these countries we have selected products that must be promoted and fee for marketing is calculated as percentage of sales of promoted products in given countries. This percentage is between 30 and 40 depending on a product and country. Yet, in another countries (Georgia, and Ukraine until recently) we ourselves do not have any marketing costs, but instead we sell our products with a certain discount and that discount is then used by our partner to cover the marketing costs.

Question: What is the total investment in Olainfarm Energija, who is the owner of the other 50% share and when is the energy production expected to begin (also, what is the expected Olainfarm own consumption / external sales ratio of the produced energy)?

Answer: The total planned investment in Olainfarm Energija is 2 million euros. Owner of other 50% of this company is Mr Girts Stelbovics, an energy sector professional, not related to Olainfarm in any way. The energy production is expected to begin in 2nd quarter of 2013. Olainfarm will purchase all the heat produced by the new company, and because of new technologies used in heat production, it is expected that the cost of heat will be by about 10% lower than what current Olainfarm heat costs are. In parallel with the heat, the new company will also produce electric energy, and 100% of that will be sold to Latvenergo, national power company.

Question: Any M&A deals planned to strengthen the product portfolio?

Answer: No, at the moment there are no M&A deals under way that I could tell about, however, as we have noted several times before, Olainfarm remains open for M&A opportunities to strengthen its product portfolio and enter new markets.

Question: Is Mr Lapins planning to increase or reduce number of shares in Olainfarm that he owns?

Answer: I strongly believe that due to many reasons not related to Olainfarm, company’s shares are significantly undervalued at the moment, so I am more likely to buy more shares than sell any of existing.

“Olainfarm” buys Latvian pharmacy business

02/11/2011

Today during the press conference Chairman of the Management Board of AS “Olainfarm” Mr. Valerijs Maligins announced that AS “Olainfarm” has purchased 100% of shares in SIA “Ilmas aptiekas” and SIA “Juko 99”. These companies combined own 18 points of pharmaceutical sales in Riga, agglomeration of Riga, Vidzeme (north-east) and Kurzeme (west).



“This is just a beginning of Olainfarm’s operations in pharmaceutical retail business in Latvia. Development, production and distribution of top quality medication remain our priority, but experience shows that distribution of medicines in Latvia is particularly successful once you have a direct access to customers. We think that this business is attractive enough to continue investing in it. Our very near future plans include expanding the pharmacy network to 30 points of sales,” said Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of Olainfarm’s Management Board.


AS “Olainfarm” announced its intentions to create a pharmacy chain in May 2010. According to plans of AS “Olainfarm” the sales in 2011 of chains already purchased will be in the area of 4 million lats (5.7 million euro).


As a direct owner of pharmacy chain, AS “Olainfarm” will be able to ensure that its products and products of other producers will be available to customers for more friendly prices. Also, the top level pharmaceutical care will be available to clients, as very many top level professionals are working in the pharmacy chain: 72% of all employees have respective university degree. AS “Olainfarm” does not plan any significant changes either to number of composition of staff.


The first pharmacy was opened by SIA “Ilmas aptieka” in autumn of 1994 in the premises of „Veselibas Centrs 4” on Krisjana Barona iela 115 in Riga. During the last 17 years network of SIA “Ilmas aptieka” has increased to 17 points of sales in Riga, agglomeration of Riga, Vidzeme and Kurzeme. SIA “Juko 99” owns one pharmacy in Riga.

„Olainfarm” wins in „MIDOLAT/МИДОЛАТ” dispute

19/08/2011

District court of Riga today rejected the claim by AS “Grindeks” whereby the nullification of the registration of trade mark „MIDOLAT/МИДОЛАТ” was asked. Therefore AS „Olainfarm” is now free to use the name „MIDOLAT/МИДОЛАТ” in Latvia.



On July 20, 2010, „Grindeks” submitted a claim to court asking to nullify the registration of trade mark MIDOLAT/МИДОЛАТ (in Cyrillic), to discontinue and forbid the use of the textual designations MIDOLAT/МИДОЛАТ by „Olainfarm”, to fully recall from distribution and to destroy all medicines market with textual designations MIDOLAT/МИДОЛАТ. „Olainfarm” was accused of acting in an illegal manner to crease associations with trademarks owned by „Grindeks”. On March 14, an additional claim was submitted to court asking “Olainfarm” to compensate for the damages.


On August 19 2011, a District court of Riga ruled that all these claims are unfounded and rejected them. Latvia is now the second country where this desperate attempt made by “Grindeks” to block the launch of meldonium produced by “Olainfarm” has failed. Although in the interests of “Grindeks” it managed to delay the launch a little, the main party suffering were the patients. In the near future similar claims by “Grindex” against “Rospatent” are scheduled in Moscow.


During the court trial „Olainfarm” submitted the counterclaim about nullification of registration of trademark “Mildronāts”. Counterclaim of “Olainfarm” is founded on the fact that a word “mildronāts” has been historically used and is still being used in an everyday communication as the name for particular medicine and therefore cannot be registered as the trade mark. Although Olainfarm’s counter claim was rejected for the lack of evidence, Olainfarm regards its position as strong enough to appeal against this ruling of District court of Riga to Supreme Court.


It was not Olainfarm’s choice to start the legal procedure and during the entire process we made a number of attempts to prevent this conflict from further escalation, we have expressed our willingness to negotiate and solve the dispute out of court.


„I am very satisfied with this just ruling. Olainfarm has always been acting fairly and honestly respecting ourselves, our partners and competitors. We see the development of new and effective products as our main priority, therefore despite favourable verdict and good prospects for further appeals, we would prefer solving similar situations without unnecessary waste of time in courts,” said V. Maligins, Chairman of Olainfarm’s Management Board.

A/s Olainfarm is one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in Latvia with nearly 40 years of experience in production of medication and chemical and pharmaceutical products.

Anti-tuberculosis medicine Para amino salicylic acid – sodium salt (PASA) has been included in WHO programme for countries with high incidence of tuberculosis. This means that the company can sell this medication to the relevant programmes of WHO without separate market authorisation for particular countries. Within this programme Olainfarm has already been awarded a first order of received a first order of PASA worth 1.4 million US dollars.



“Being prequalified for this WHO programme is the highest possible appreciation of quality of Olainfarm’s products. It opens new sales market for this anti-tuberculosis medicine. We are glad that the process of assessing production quality of Olainfarm that has lasted for four years has ended with such result, and it has been confirmed that in quality terms we are in the same league with pharmaceutical giants like “GlaxoSmithKline”, “Roche”, “Pfizer” and others”, says Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of Olainfarm’s Board.


AS “Olainfarm” launched PASA in 2001. Since then the company has been delivering this product to special clinical centres in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine and Belarus. In 2007 AS „Olainfarm” was awarded a contract by authorities of Kazakhstan to supply PASA to national reserves of Kazakhstan. Value of the contract then was 974 000 lats (1,38 million euro).


AS “Olainfarm” is the only European producer of PASA, producing it in a user friendly and comfortable form of sachets for per-oral use. PASA is an anti-tuberculosis medicine with bacteriostatic activity against micro-bacteria of tuberculosis. In combination with other anti-tuberculosis products it is being used for treatment of different forms and localisations of tuberculosis if more traditional treatment methods have proven ineffective.


List of WHO prequalified medicines includes companies from US, UK, Australia, Latvia, Belgium, RSA, France, Italy, India, China, Canada, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary, Germany and other countries. More detailed information about WHO programmes is available at: http://apps.who.int/prequal/default.htm.

“Olainfarm”: our forecasts for 2011 are conservative

01/02/2011

In 2011 AS “Olainfarm” plans to achieve sales of at least 28 million lats (39.84 million Euro), and invest about 3 million lats (4.26 million Euro) in its development, CEO of AS “Olainfarm” told the reporter of news portal naudaslietas.lv.


 

Olaine, February 1, 2011, 2011-02-01 15:48 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Preliminary sales forecast of 28 million lats for 2011 is a very conservative one. The company has not yet published its official sales and profit forecasts for 2011, but it already is clear, that very much like in 2010, its forecasts will be careful.

 

It has been several years since the company has been investing significant resources into promotion of its products. Such activities are also planned for 2011. Not only have these investments increased company#ins_quot2#s overall sales, but they have provided a shift in sales towards the products with higher margins. It is expected that the same effect will continue in 2011, which combined with introduction of new products and commencement of sales to new markets allows us a certain level of optimism about the profitability and sales figures of 2011.

 

Profit forecast for 2011 is still being calculated, but it is already clear that it will be bigger that what has been achieved in 2010. Among other things the size of the profit will be slightly influenced by investments scheduled for 2011 and by salary increases planned for this year. This may result in pace of profit increase slowing down, but there are no reasons to expect that the profit itself in absolute figures is expected to fall.

 

Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of „Olainfarm” held on April 29, 2010 approved the operating plan of the company. According to it, the forecast sales of the Concern for 2010 are 24.5 million lats (34.9 million Euro), but the net profit is forecast at 2.7 million lats (3.8 million Euro).According to preliminary calculations actual sales in 2010 were 25.2 million lats (35.85 million Euro), while the profit forecast was already exceeded in 9 months of 2010.

 

Operating plan of the company for 2011 will be adopted by the Annual General meeting of shareholders this spring.

Olainfarm to reduce prices for most demanded medicines in Latvia

23/09/2010

Management of AS “Olainfarm” has decided to lower the prices for 26 different


medicines in nearly all therapeutic groups by 16% on average.  New prices will

take effect by November 1st 2010.  One of the reasons for doing so is to at

least to some extent compensate for the consequences of possible increase of

VAT on medicines, as in company#ins_quot2#s opinion, such an increase of VAT may have a

very adverse impact on health condition of certain groups of population.

 

“During the several recent months we have received very worrying information

about the health behaviour or Latvian population.  Since the significant

reduction if health funding, number of visits to health professionals has

dropped significantly as the self treatment has apparently increased.  Although

the self treatment is in no way a behaviour to be promoted and facilitated, in

several cases a well prepared self treatment, especially for those chronically

ill that are well aware of their health condition, provided at least some

results as it prevents the condition from worsening and it is certainly a

better alternative that doing nothing at all. “Olainfarm” is aware about the

concerns of health professionals that if the reduced rate of VAT is cancelled

and the prices of medicines increase by more than 10%, many of patients, which

have so far been self treating themselves, may discontinue even this activity.

Impact of such decision on already poor health condition of the society may be

dramatic.  We are Latvian company and do care about the health and

sustainability of Latvian society, therefore „Olainfarm” decides not to wait

for the consequences and to take pro-active steps.  We are reducing the prices

for the most demanded medicines in Latvia,” says Salvis Lapins, member of the

board of „Olainfarm”.

 

AS “Olainfarm” will reduce the sales prices for different doses of the

following medicines: Adaptol, Ambroksol, Bikarfen, Fenkarol, Furamag, Furasol,

Gripofleks, Herpelans, Ibuprofens, Itranol, Neiromidin, Noofen, Ol-askofen,

Omeprazol, Ranitidin, Remantadine, Amlodipin, Jogurt, Vagilac.

Court lifts temporary means of protection for products branded with name “MIDOLAT” /”МИДОЛАТ”

24/08/2010

 

On August 20, the district court of Riga has cancelled its prior verdict made on July 26 to impose the temporary means of protection. The cancelled verdict provided for seizing and recalling from distribution all medications of Olainfarm labelled with textual designations “MIDOLAT” and “МИДОЛАТ”, as well as by prohibiting the use of the textual trademark “MIDOLAT”/”МИДОЛАТ” in commercial activities of Olainfarm. This cancellation verdict was made without the right to appeal.



Panic driven actions by „Grindeks” targeted at preventing the competition from producing generic meldonium have failed. Verdict of Riga district court ensures that despite the obstacles put by competition, it is a matter of weeks before Latvian people will have access to top quality Latvian made meldonium of Olainfarm,” says Salvis Lapins, member of „Olainfarm’s” Board.


It is almost a year since “MIDOLAT”/”МИДОЛАТ” was registered as a trade mark of „Olainfarm” in Latvia. Meldonium produced by „Olainfarm” in other countries is known and growing under the trade name “Vazonat®”.

”Olainfarm” will protect its rights to use trademarks “MIDOLAT®” /”МИДОЛАТ®” in Latvia

29/07/2010

It has been almost one year since “MIDOLAT®”/”МИДОЛАТ®” are the registered
trademarks of Olainfarm in Latvia. Meldonium produced by “Olainfarm” is
becoming well known and gaining popularity in several countries also under the
trade mark “Vazonat®”. Olainfarm confirms that the district court of Riga has
assigned temporary means of protection by seizing and recalling from
distribution all medications of the Olainfarm labelled with textual
designations “MIDOLAT®” un “МИДОЛАТ®”, as well as by prohibiting the use of the
textual trademark “MIDOLAT®”/”МИДОЛАТ®” in commercial activities of Olainfarm.
Although, so far not a single unit of „MIDOLAT®” has been sold in Latvia,
Olainfarm intends to protect its trademark rights.

„The loud attack of JSC “Grindeks” on Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s trademarks of
“MIDOLAT®”/”МИДОЛАТ®” was full of insults, which is yet another proof that
actions of JSC „Grindeks” are desperation driven. JSC “Grindeks” would be glad
to prohibit everyone to produce the generic version of Mildronats, including
the production of “MIDOLAT®”/”МИДОЛАТ®”. Registration of trademarks in the
Republic of Latvia is done by the Patent Office of the Republic of Latvia – a
competent governmental institution, which makes its decisions basing not only
upon applications, but also conducts relevant tests and analyses. With its
outcry, JSC „Grindeks” insults not only Olainfarm, but also the experts of
Patent Office of the Republic of Latvia who registered the trademark of
“MIDOLAT®”/”МИДОЛАТ®” in Latvia. JSC „Grindeks” itself was very little
preoccupied with honesty, fair competition and respect for reputation when
choosing the name for its product which had only one letter difference from
that of „Remantadīns”®, (registered trademark of Olainfarm for 15 years) and
using Chinese made API in the production of it. It must be noted, that despite
all the investments in the trademark of „Remantadīns” ® , Olainfarm brought up
no claims against JSC „Grindeks”. Obviously that good will of Olainfarm was
mistakenly taken by JSC „Grindeks” for the sign of weakness. We do respect JSC
“Grindeks” and its IP rights, however, in the conditions of the free
competition we will not submit to their obvious dictate and will protect our
right to use our trademarks of “MIDOLAT®”/”МИДОЛАТ®”. Besides, all these
activities will cause us some damages, which, however insignificant, will be
fully recovered from the failed party,” says Salvis Lapins, member of
Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s Board.

Olainfarm expresses its disappointment with the fact that its colleagues from
the company that for the present is the biggest producer of medicines in Latvia
by the volume of sales, in times when its sales have been dropping several
quarters in a row, instead of actively working at new markets and new products
are getting involved in challenging a trademark of “MIDOLAT®”/”МИДОЛАТ®”
registered nearly one year ago and in using such inappropriate methods as
seizing the inventory.

It must be noted that only a court can declare anyone guilty. Therefore we
have reasons to believe that JSC „Grindeks” has been disrespectful, by
distributing their opinion about legality of Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s activities. This is a
clear attempt to damage the long built reputation of Olainfarm. However, the
intentions of JSC „Grindeks” to protect its formerly exclusive and successful
product, by prohibiting or preventing any other producer to launch similar
medicine are understandable.

Management of JSC “Olainfarm” has considered possibilities to list its shares
on other stock exchanges. Such a possibility has been analyzed on a number of
occasions, because of low activity in Riga Stock exchange. However, the

Management of “Olainfarm” admits that increases in sales and profits could be even higher than initially forecast

18/06/2010

Management of JSC “Olainfarm” admits that sales increase in 2010 could be as
high as 14%, while the net profit could increase up to 20% compared to the
previous year. These considerations were caused by the results of the 1st
quarter of 2010, when particularly high increases have been achieved in foreign
markets.

It has already been reported that during the first quarter of 2010 Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s
sales have increased by about 10%, while the net profit was for some 50% higher
than during the first quarter of 2009. Sales to some export markets grew
particularly well during the first three months. The biggest sales growth was
experienced in Uzbekistan, where the sales grew very considerably – by 1 457%.
Kyrgyzstan, despite political unrest in this country, has shown the increase by
192%, Kazakhstan by 117%, Tajikistan by 60%, Azerbaijan by 25%, Russia by 15%,
Belarus by 12%, and Ukraine by 10%. This resulted in Belarus becoming the
third biggest market for the Company (after Russia and Ukraine) and exports
increasing to 95% of the total sales.

Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of „Olainfarm” held on April 29, 2010
approved the operating plan of the company. According to it, the forecast
sales of Olainfarm for 2010 are 24.5 million lats (34.9 million Euro), but the
net profit is forecast at 2.7 million lats (3.8 million Euro). Sales of the
Concern during the first quarter of 2010 were 24% of the annual target, while
the net profit was 26% of it.

29/05/2010

Profit of JSC „Olainfarm” during the first quarter of this year has reached 0.7 million lats (1 million euros), but the sales exceed 6.1 million lats (8.6 million euros). For Olainfarm this has been the best ever beginning of the year (first quarter) and it can be explained with significant increase in exports, today 95% of company’s sales are made abroad. In some export markets the sales increase exceeds 100%, but in Uzbekistan Olainfarm’s sales have grown even by 1500% compared to the first quarter of 2009.



“Because of work we did for product promotion, introduction and for entering new markets, the first quarter of 2010 has been historically best beginning of the year for Olainfarm’s financials. We are particularly glad to be performing so well in the countries of Central Asia: Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. Sales to these countries have grown particularly strongly and this gives me the reason to say that Olainfarm now has caught the wave of growth”, says Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of the Board of Olainfarm.


During the first quarter of 2010 sales of Olainfarm have grown by about 10%, but profit by 50% compared to the first quarter of 2009.

The biggest sales growth was experienced in Uzbekistan, where the sales grew very considerably – by 1 457%. Kyrgyzstan, despite political unrest in this country, has shown the increase by 192%, Kazakhstan by 117%, Tajikistan by 60%, Azerbaijan by 25%, Russia by 15%, Belarus by 12%, and Ukraine by 10%. This resulted in Belarus becoming the third biggest market for the Company (after Russia and Ukraine) and exports increasing to 95% of the total sales.


During the 1st quarter of 2010 7 registration cases have been finished, including registration of company’s new product Midolat® in Latvia, registration of ampouled form of Vazonat® in Ukraine and registration of 5 products in Albania. This market is completely new for the Company and the first shipments to this market are planned for the nearest months. Also several registration files have been submitted to other markets that are untypical for the company, including Indonesia and Serbia. During the reporting period pilot tests of R-Fenotropil have also been successfully completed and the work has been launched to identify the optimal drug form for this molecule.

“Olainfarm” might create a chain of pharmacies in Latvia and expands into Asia

30/03/2010

Olainfarm might create a chain of pharmacies in Latvia. Depending upon the developments of Latvian Law On Pharmaceuticals, it might consider either creating a new network or purchasing one of the existing ones.



This year Olainfarm plans to establish a representative office in Bangkok, which in future will be servicing the entire South-East Asia. Also this year the first shipments are planned to Vietnam and it is planned that in future sales to this market will be comparable to that of Belarus with volume of about 3 million euros.

“To fully enter the market of an Asian country it takes about 8 – 10 years, but for the Chinese market it would be at least 15 years,” says Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of the Board of Olainfarm.


Over the last few years Neiromidin has become a leading product of Olainfarm. Last year it was sold for more than 4 million lats. This product continues growing and this year sales of it might be considerably bigger.

In 2010 Olainfarm plans to maintain the level of sales growth achieved in 2009 and to earn higher profits than previous year. In 2009 net profit of Olainfarm was 2.56 million lats (3.64 million euros), while the sales reached 22.4 million lats (32 million euros).

AS „Olainfarm“ is one of the largest companies in Baltic countries with nearly 40 years of experience in production of medicines and chemical and pharmaceutical products. The key principle of company#ins_quot2#s operations is to produce reliable and effective top quality products for Latvia and the rest of the world.

Olainfarm makes 1.3 million lats profit in 9 months

30/11/2009

Consolidated profit and loss statement of Olainfarm for nine months of this year shows the net profit of 1 279 106 lats (1 820 004 euros). In the third quarter alone Olainfarm has made 454 399 lats (646 552 euros). Improvement in financial performance reflects the successful operations of Olainfarm in Latvian and export markets and proves the efficiency of sales promotion activities that the company has been conducting and still continues in Russia and other CIS markets.


 

Unaudited profit and loss statement for 9 months shows AS “Olainfarm” shows the company#ins_quot2#s sales of 15.2 million lats (21.6 million euros), which is only by 0.5% less than in nine months of 2008 when sales reached 15.3 million lats (21.7 million euros). After tax profit of the company during this period was 1 279 106 lats (1 820 004 euros), while a year ago the company worked with the net los of 1 352 930 lats (1 925 046 euros).

 

“Olainfarm” has managed to achieve the record profits in times when most of our export markets are shrinking. To a large extent this is the result of timely investments in product promotion in Russian and other CIS markets, successful work at introduction of new products and cooperation with partners that has resulted in several sizeable contracts. Third quarter covers only a portion of such contract with Poland. Remaining sales of medicines to Poland and Bulgaria, as well as supplies of chemical products to our clients in the UK, with the total value exceeding 1 million euros have already taken place in the fourth quarter and will be covered by our annual report,” says Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s Management Board.

 

The development of 9 months also confirms the increase in sales to countries where strengthened marketing effort has been made. Nine months sales to Moldova have increased by 21%, Russia by 27%, Kazakhstan by 42% and Azerbaijan even by 104%. Small increase has been achieved even in Latvia, where 9 months sales have increased by 0.5% compared to similar period of 2008.

 

The biggest decreases in sales to the regular markets of Olainfarm have been seen in Belarus (by 4%), Ukraine (by 13%) and Uzbekistan (by 16%). Some decrease in sales has also been observed in some other markets with smaller influence on overall sales of Olainfarm, including Estonia, Lithuania and Tajikistan. In all of major Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s markets the trend has been that even if Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s sales to these countries have fallen, the pharmaceutical markets of these countries themselves have fallen even sharper.

JSC Olainfarm is one of the biggest companies in the Baltic States with more than 35 years of experience in production of medicines and chemical and pharmaceutical products. The basic principle of Company#ins_quot2#s operations is to produce reliable and effective top quality products for Latvia and the rest of the world. Currently the products of JSC Olainfarm are being exported to more than 30 countries worldwide, including the Baltics, Russia, CIS, Scandinavian and other Western European countries, Asia and the USA.

Olainfarm makes 1.3 million lats profit in 9 months

30/11/2009

Consolidated profit and loss statement of Olainfarm for nine months of this year shows the net profit of 1 279 106 lats (1 820 004 euros). In the third quarter alone Olainfarm has made 454 399 lats (646 552 euros). Improvement in financial performance reflects the successful operations of Olainfarm in Latvian and export markets and proves the efficiency of sales promotion activities that the company has been conducting and still continues in Russia and other CIS markets.


 

Unaudited profit and loss statement for 9 months shows AS “Olainfarm” shows the company#ins_quot2#s sales of 15.2 million lats (21.6 million euros), which is only by 0.5% less than in nine months of 2008 when sales reached 15.3 million lats (21.7 million euros). After tax profit of the company during this period was 1 279 106 lats (1 820 004 euros), while a year ago the company worked with the net los of 1 352 930 lats (1 925 046 euros).

 

“Olainfarm” has managed to achieve the record profits in times when most of our export markets are shrinking. To a large extent this is the result of timely investments in product promotion in Russian and other CIS markets, successful work at introduction of new products and cooperation with partners that has resulted in several sizeable contracts. Third quarter covers only a portion of such contract with Poland. Remaining sales of medicines to Poland and Bulgaria, as well as supplies of chemical products to our clients in the UK, with the total value exceeding 1 million euros have already taken place in the fourth quarter and will be covered by our annual report,” says Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s Management Board.

 

The development of 9 months also confirms the increase in sales to countries where strengthened marketing effort has been made. Nine months sales to Moldova have increased by 21%, Russia by 27%, Kazakhstan by 42% and Azerbaijan even by 104%.

World Health Organization confirms the susceptibility of seasonal AH1N1 to

10/11/2009

WHO Guidelines for Pharmacological Management of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza and other Influenza Viruses published on August 20th, 2009 confirms that seasonal AH1N1 is susceptible to Remantadine (INN: rimantadine) and Neomidantane (INN: admantadine).


 

“It is indeed an outstanding achievement of Latvian pharmaceutical company when active ingredients of Remantadine and Neomidantane are confirmed to be effective in treatment of seasonal AH1N1 by the WHO. Our scientists had been able to develop formulae with which only two other in a whole world are able to compete,” Mrs. Liga Gibnere, Deputy Development Director of Olainfarm says. “Assessment of susceptibility to antiviral medicines is made difficult by very rapid transformations of A type viruses over one or more years. Therefore, even if the medicine has not been effective in treatment of one form of influenza virus, it does not necessarily mean that it will not be effective in other cases. WHO, which is internationally best reputed opinion leader and monitor in health care admits that rimantadine and amantadine, produced also by Olainfarm are effective in treatment of seasonal AH1N1 influenza. Importance of so called swine flu should not, however, be overestimated, as our recent experience shows that seasonal flu influences by far greater number of people, especially elderly ones,” says Mrs. Gibnere.

 

Remantadine is the only OTC antiviral medicine, it is safe and time-tested, stocks of that product in Latvia are sufficient.

 

Let us remind you, that in order to avoid contracting, it is necessary to constantly maintain the healthy lifestyle, through taking balanced nutrition, full in natural vitamins, reducing the impact of stress on your body and carefully observing the personal hygiene.

 

Remantadine or its active ingredient produced by Olainfarm AS “Olainfarm” has been sold to Norway, Poland, Bulgaria, USA, CIS countries. In total the product is being exported to nearly 20 countries.

Company owned by Helmuts Balderis-Sildedzis becomes a second biggest shareholder

15/07/2009

Company owned by Helmuts Balderis-Sildedzis becomes a second biggest shareholder
of Olainfarm


In July 2009, a company “HB19 Investments” owned by Helmuts Balderis -
Sildedzis purchased 3 686 014 shares of Olainfarm from Mr. Juris Savickis, who
has so far been the second biggest shareholder of Olainfarm. Thus Mr. Balderis
- Sildedzis has indirectly become the owner of 26.17% of Olainfarm.

Because Mr. Juris Savickis is no longer a shareholder of Olainfarm, earlier
this month he submitted his resignation from the position of Member of the
Supervisory Council. Representative of the new second biggest shareholder Mr.
Helmuts Balderis – Sildedzis has now been elected to the position of Chairman
of the Supervisory Council.

New Chairman of the Supervisory Council of Olainfarm had this comment regarding
the transaction: “After studying the growth demonstrated by Olainfarm during
the recent years and seeing their plans for the future, I am convinced that the
company will be able to ensure the growth of its value. Olainfarm has been
very committed to increasing its exports, to strengthening its positions in
foreign markets and thus has proven that it is a company with one of the
biggest export potentials in Latvia. Everything I said before combined with
what I find an attractive share price was enough of motivation for me to make
an investment which in these times could be regarded as significant and even
somewhat courageous”.

To this Mr. Juris Savickis, President of SIA “Itera Latvija”, had this to add:
“Despite the fact that at this moment the stock markets worldwide and in Latvia
in particular are not at their peak, I think I have made a very good returns on
my original investments in Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s shares. As you may know, my primary
interests at the moment are related to the energy sector.”

Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s unaudited profit and loss account for the first quarter of 2009
shows that the net profit of the company has increased by more than 1 million
Euro, while EBITDA has nearly tripled. Net consolidated profit of the company
in that period was 465 713 lats (662 650 Euro), EBITDA – 1 204 787 lats (1 714
257 Euro).

Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s 1st quarter profit increases by more than 1 million euros; EBITDA

29/05/2009

Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s consolidated profit and loss account for the 1st quarter of 2009 shows that sales of the concern has increased by 3% compared to the first quarter of 2008, while the net profit has reached 466 thousand lats (663 thousand euros). Such a rapid improvement in financial indicators reflects successful operations of Olainfarm abroad and in Latvia and proves that strengthened marketing effort started last year in Russia and other CIS countries is starting to bring returns.



Unaudited consolidated profit and loss statement for the 1st quarter of 2009 shows the consolidated sales of Olainfarm reaching 5.56 million lats (7,92 mill. euros), which is an increase of 3% compared to 5.41 million lats (7,70 mill. euros), which were the sales in similar period of 2008. The concern worked with the net profit of 465 713 lats (662 650 euros), while it was loss making in the 1st quarter of 2008, when loss reached 355 444 lats (505 751 euros).


„Returns on investments in strengthened marketing combined with company#ins_quot2#s cost cutting efforts have allowed the company to become profitable again. In May we have restarted the cooperation with the British daughter company of multinational pharmaceutical company Novartis and have received an order for shipment of chemical product worth 1 million euros which will take place this year. This is very good news for the company in this situation when certain macroeconomic instability remains. “says Valerijs Maligins, CEO of Olainfarm.


The above mentioned improvements in sales and margins have also influenced the levels of EBIT and EBITDA. For the first quarter of 2009 EBIT was 577 145 lats (821 203 euros), while during the same period of 2008 it was negative -195 984 lats (278 860 euros). EBITDA too was performing well in the first quarter of 2009 when it nearly tripled to 1 204 787 lats (1 714 257 euros).


During the 1st quarter of 2009 sales to markets where marketing effort has been strengthened continued increasing. Sales to Russia grew by 49%, to Latvia by 27%, to Georgia by 97%, to Moldova by 39%, Azerbaijan by 219%. Countries like Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, where significant devaluations of local currencies have taken place during the last few months, despite the decrease of local purchasing power, the sales remained nearly unchanged.

Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s 1st quarter profit increases by more than 1 million euros; EBITDA

29/05/2009

Olainfarm#ins_quot2#s consolidated profit and loss account for the 1st quarter of 2009 shows that sales of the concern has increased by 3% compared to the first quarter of 2008, while the net profit has reached 466 thousand lats (663 thousand euros). Such a rapid improvement in financial indicators reflects successful operations of Olainfarm abroad and in Latvia and proves that strengthened marketing effort started last year in Russia and other CIS countries is starting to bring returns.



Unaudited consolidated profit and loss statement for the 1st quarter of 2009 shows the consolidated sales of Olainfarm reaching 5.56 million lats (7,92 mill. euros), which is an increase of 3% compared to 5.41 million lats (7,70 mill. euros), which were the sales in similar period of 2008. The concern worked with the net profit of 465 713 lats (662 650 euros), while it was loss making in the 1st quarter of 2008, when loss reached 355 444 lats (505 751 euros).


„Returns on investments in strengthened marketing combined with company#ins_quot2#s cost cutting efforts have allowed the company to become profitable again. In May we have restarted the cooperation with the British daughter company of multinational pharmaceutical company Novartis and have received an order for shipment of chemical product worth 1 million euros which will take place this year. This is very good news for the company in this situation when certain macroeconomic instability remains. “says Valerijs Maligins, CEO of Olainfarm.


The above mentioned improvements in sales and margins have also influenced the levels of EBIT and EBITDA. For the first quarter of 2009 EBIT was 577 145 lats (821 203 euros), while during the same period of 2008 it was negative -195 984 lats (278 860 euros). EBITDA too was performing well in the first quarter of 2009 when it nearly tripled to 1 204 787 lats (1 714 257 euros).


During the 1st quarter of 2009 sales to markets where marketing effort has been strengthened continued increasing. Sales to Russia grew by 49%, to Latvia by 27%, to Georgia by 97%, to Moldova by 39%, Azerbaijan by 219%. Countries like Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, where significant devaluations of local currencies have taken place during the last few months, despite the decrease of local purchasing power, the sales remained nearly unchanged.


Olainfarm is one of the biggest companies in the Baltic States with more than 35 years of experience in production of medicines and chemical and pharmaceutical products. The basic principle of Concern#ins_quot2#s operations is to produce reliable and effective top quality products for Latvia and the rest of the world.

OlainFarm#ins_quot2#s Sales to Russia in 4 Months Increase by 42%

19/05/2009

In his interview to journalist Anda Asere of newspaper “Dienas Bizness”
(published on May 19) Deputy CFO of Olainfarm Salvis Lapins informed that
during the first quarter of 2009 the company made more than 400 000 lats of net
profit and has seen the sales increasing in its major markets.


Sales increase that Olainfarm has experienced during 4 months of 2009 compared
to the similar period of 2008 in all its major markets, except Ukraine, has
been rather impressive: sales in Latvia have grown by 21%, Russia by as much as
42%, Belarus by 12%. Smaller markets have demonstrated good growth too, e.g.
sales to Azerbaijan have increased by 185%. „We have been generous in
investing and working with these markets in previous years to make our products
recognized and demanded. Professional work of the marketing company Trade
Technologies International, that we have chosen for this work must also be
praised“ S. Lapins explaind the achievements. „In Kazakhstan too this company
is involved in promotion of sales of our products and the results again are
impressive: secondary sales of our products during 4 months of this year have
doubled compared to 4 months of 2008.“

When asked about entering new markets, Salvis Lapins informs that currently the
representative office of Olainfarm in Viet Nam is being registered and the
first shipments to this country are planned for late 2009 or early 2010.

Deputy CFO of Olainfarm Mr. Lapins mentions „rapid increase in nervousness of
banks“ as one of main consequences of economic downturn felt by Olainfarm.
However, he still remains optimistic: „Many companies got scared by crisis and
they have been quick to reduce their marketing costs. We, however, have tried
to increase them. Our market share in our major markets is increasing because
we were less afraid of downturn than others were. I think we are going to come
out of this situation stronger than what we were when we entered it“
