In this period the turnover of "Grindeks" Group reached 168.9 million euros, which is 31.8 million euros or 23% more than in the first nine months of 2020. The profit of the Group in the first nine months of 2021 amounted to 27.6 million euros which is 15.5 million euros or twice as much as in the first nine months of 2020.

"Grindeks" Group's record high profit and turnover in the first nine months has been achieved due to a significant increase in demand for cardiovascular and central nervous system products. Rapid growth of sales was also reached in hospital segment medicines, which are offered by JSC "Grindeks" subsidiary company JSC "Kalceks".

During the first nine months of 2021, the Group exported its production to 97 countries for a total amount of 160 million euros.

Ph. D. Juris Hmelnickis, Chairman of the Board of JSC "Grindeks":"In the first nine months of 2021, the "Grindeks" Group continued its development and growth with confidence, reaching historically highest profit and turnover figures. Our business strategy and the changes that we put in place are already creating results. I am pleased that our employees are united and able to adapt quickly to the changing and difficult situation in Latvia and the world, providing patients with the necessary medicines. I have no doubt that the work done together so far is an indicator of excellence of "Grindeks". We will only continue our growth and we will not stop at what has already been achieved. I believe that every goal for "Grindeks"Group is achievable."

The Group's sales of final dosage forms in the first nine months of 2021 totaled 160.4 million euros and compared to the first nine months of 2020 increased by 31.1 million euros or 24%.

In the first nine months of 2021, sales of final dosage form products in the European Union and other countries amounted to 85.2 million euros, which is 20.7 million euros or 32% more than in the first nine months of 2020. Sales in Portugal increased 41 times in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020, in the Netherlands 12 times, in the United Arab Emirates 10 times, in Bulgaria 4 times, in Poland 3 times, in Great Britain by 60%, in Austria by 51% and in Australia by 43%.

There are currently 64 new JSC "Grindeks" and 42 new JSC "Kalceks" medicines in development.

The production of active pharmaceutical ingredients is also very important for the "Grindeks" Group, which is also one of the Group's significant advantages in the pharmaceutical sector. The company currently produces 25 active pharmaceutical ingredients. This segment increases independence from raw material producers, so the company is developing 36 new active pharmaceuticals. The availability of active pharmaceuticals means the possibility of more efficient production of finished final dosage forms within the group. The largest export markets of  "Grindeks" active pharmaceutical ingredients are European Union countries, the U.S., Japan and Canada.

In the first nine months of 2021, JSC "Kalceks" achieved suberb results and their sales grew rapidly, increasing both the number of export countries and expanding its product portfolio. In the first nine months of 2021, products from JSC "Kalceks" were sold for 50.8 million euros, which is 19.1 million euros or 60% more than in the first nine months of 2020. JSC "Kalceks" products were exported to 75 countries in the first nine months of 2021, and the main ones were the Netherlands, Mexico, Great Britain, Poland and Portugal.

Kirovs Lipmans, Chairman of the Council of JSC "Grindeks": "I greatly appreciate the work and enthusiasm of "Grindeks" Group employees. The Group is developing and it is focused on international cooperation, which contributes to our achievements and helps to reach our goals. I am gratified that our patients in many countries of the world receive the necessary medicines. In thinking about the future of the Group, I know that there is always a need to make smart investments that improve infrastructure, create an even more modern working environment and increase the production capacity of the company. Such investments are important for global competition to ensure that our pace of development is higher than the average shown by other pharmaceutical companies."

In order not to stop at the results already achieved and to continue the gradual and sustainable growth of the Group in the long term, "Grindeks" in the first nine months of the year paid particular attention to the improvement of manufacturing infrastructure, which also includes the purchase of new manufacturing equipment, as important is building a new manufacturing laboratory for final dosage forms.

The contract for the new plant project has been signed this year and the area development and improvement work has been done. The new plant will be built in Latvia, Riga, Asotes Street 12, in several phases and will include complex manufacturing processes for active pharmaceutical ingredients and modern technological equipment.
