For Sopharma AD this effort is another contribution to an excellent corporate governance file.
Letter to the shareholders
Dear friends,
We are saying farewell to a good year for the business, but a difficult and sad year in human terms.
Europe had forgotten the horror of war. We all believed we were wise enough to understand that there would never be "winners from war, only those who lost less".
At Sopharma, we felt the pain and suffering because our family includes our employees in Kyiv and Uman. Families were separated, we invited all those who wished to come to Bulgaria and despite the situation they did not stop working and proved that they are excellently educated, adaptable and hardworking people.
The recovery from the Covid crisis brought with it good financial results for the Company. We ended the year with revenue growth of 15.3% and net profit growth of 66.4%. The work of the majority of companies in the Group was also stabilized, which contributed to the improved financial results on a consolidated basis.
But in the current situation, it is difficult for me to talk about achievements, and for that reason I would only like to sincerely wish that the year 2023 will bring us peace.
Thank you for the trust.
Ognyan Donev, PhD
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Executive Director of "Sopharma" AD
