Consistently with the dynamics of the 2017 business plan, we expect the highest revenue from DA in Q4 2017, it is estimated, that revenues in Q4 will reach approximately 30% of the yearly budget . Additional revenue and improved sales structure should result in improved integral net margin. Effective manufacturing cost management, considering the higher production volume planned for the last quarter of the year. Higher marketing investments supporting the sales growth in Q4, yet adjusted due to the pressure from the raw and processed material markets and labour costs. Adjustment of the production volume and supplementary program purchases to the required decrease in finished product and merchandise inventories. Effective cost management measures, including measures in the segment of white collar employees, to partly neutralize the effects of labour cost increase due to agreements reached with social partners.

Ensuring the planned sales volume, in particular on the very competitive Western European markets, Accomplishing the planned profitable sales growth due to further concentration of distribution channels on key markets. Efficient serial production of new generations of key product groups. Delivering cost efficiency, especially on account of: Growing costs of key raw materials and components; and Pressures on labour costs in Slovenia, Serbia, and the Czech Republic (signed agreements with social partners in Slovenia and Serbia). Improvement of working capital management to support our deleveraging efforts until the end of the fiscal year.

Increase of sales in last quarter with strongest sales, good product and geographical structure and positioning of our brands. Supported with strong, target-oriented marketing activities. Increase of productivity and cost efficiency of processes aimed at minimizing the negative impacts on labour costs. Improvement of working capital turnover through supply chain factoring, thereby decreasing of the Group‘s indebtedness Inventory management through supply chain management, decreased complexity and appropriate co-ordination of production Focus on DA as the Group‘s core activity with review of possibilities for divestment of Other Business and non-operating assets. With respect to the worsened performance of the Gorenje Group in the third quarter and the described challenges or negative factors that are expected also in the last quarter of 2017, we will, based on the stated activities attend to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the key planned objectives for 2017 which, however, will not be completely fulfilled. The Budget for the year 2018 together with the estimated financial results for 2017 will be published after the Supervisory Board meeting on 11th of January, 2018.

We have secured the required refinancing for our loans due in 2017, and cut interest payment by 15.5% (EUR 1.8m EUR). We have prepared and are leading a range of measures and activities to ensure decrease in Gorenje Group debt till the end of the year. We have accelerated activities with our suppliers with the aim to prolong payment terms with the support of supply chain financing (SCF) program (reverse factoring). More then 60 suppliers have joint the SCF program already and we are adding new suppliers to the program on a daily basis. We issued a tender for the renewal of the Gorenje Group insurance programs, negotiations and completion of the process is expected in November 2017. Further to traditional insurances, we are planning to conclude also Cyber and Crime insurance policies in order to be covered also against growing cybernetic threats.
