1 Business benchmarking 2009: For members of the East European Group Summary results November 2009 Contents Executive summary CEE as a share of global sales Key markets Sales performance in 2009 Profits in 2009 Outlook for 2010 Medium-term priorities Respondent tdemographics

2 Executive summary In November we asked Corporate Network members: - how the CEE region fits into their current global sales structure - what their priority markets are now and mid-term - and how they are forecasting sales and profits for 2009 to 2010 While 2009 was a difficult year in all CEE markets, companies are cautiously optimistic about 2010 Russia and Poland, the two largest CEE markets, are also expected to be the fastest growing in 2010 These two also top the rankings of medium-term priority markets, followed by Romania and the Czech Republic CEE as a share of global sales Respondents told us that on average CEE makes up about 8% of global sales This calculation excludes those companies that do all or most of their business in the region Last time we asked this question (January 2008), CEE accounted for about 5% of global sales The increase reflects CEE s rapid economic and business growth through 2008 But the share could drop over the next year or two as a result of poor performance during the crisis and the region s relative maturity to markets like China

3 Key markets (1) Russia remains the most important market in CEE, accounting for 21% of regional sales (unchanged from the last survey in early 2008) Poland however, which also accounted for 21% in 2008, dropped to 17%, still the second largest market The Czech Republic accounts for about 11% of sales, down from 13% Romania s share of sales grew (from 8% to 10%) and pushed ahead of Hungary (down from 10% to 9%); Ukraine also grew from 5% to 7% Slovakia grew and now contributes about 5% of regional sales, compared to 4% previously Firms that include Turkey in CEE say it is third, accounting for about 11% of sales (down from 13%) Key markets (2) 21 Of your CEE sales, what percentage comes out of the following key markets? Russia Poland Turkey Czech Republic Romania Hungary Ukraine Slovakia

4 Key markets (3) Comparing the regional share of GDP with the regional sales, the Russian market is still below potential, despite its weight in the region Russia contributes 36% of CEE s nominal GDP in 2009, but only 21% of regional sales Poland, on the other hand, is more than pulling its weight: it accounts for only 12% of regional GDP but 21% of sales Likewise, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and even Ukraine all generate a higher proportion of sales than GDP Turkey comes closer to equilibrium, though remains slightly behind, accounting for 17% of regional GDP and 13% of sales Key markets (4) % share of CEE sales vs % share of CEE GDP % of CEE sales Hungary 5 Slovakia Czech Republic Romania Ukraine Poland Turkey Russia % of CEE GDP

5 Sales performance in 2009 (1) Sales came under severe pressure in CEE as the economic crisis pummelled most markets For those companies with Turkey in the region, the market was relatively strong, despite the harsh recession 46% of firms say sales grew in 2009 Sales in Poland weathered the storm relatively well, reflecting continued GDP growth 41% showed growth and 32% decline The only other country showing more companies growing than declining was Kazakhstan Sales performance in Russia held up relatively well, since numbers had already been hit in % showed growth (over half of those in double digits) and 46% decline Sales performance in 2009 (2) Ukraine saw very mixed sales, with 58% falling and 34% growing In the Czech Republic, sales were also very mixed, depending on sectors just over 40% saw growth, but the same number saw falling sales too Slovakia, harder hit by the downturn in the auto industry, saw only 24% of companies growing and 29% reported significant declines Hungary continued to show steep declines, with 56% reporting falling sales and only 23% growth In Romania and Bulgaria, only around 30% of companies grew Slovenia was relatively stable: 41% said sales were flat and neither growth nor declines were dramatic

6 Sales performance in 2009 (3) Not surprisingly, sales took the deepest blow in the recession-battered Baltics A notable 88% of firms in Latvia say sales had fallen, half of those significantly and not a single firm reported growth Likewise the vast majority of firms in Lithuania and Estonia saw falling sales and little growth Sales performance 2009 (3) How have sales performed in 2009 vs 2008? 23% 17% 15% 15% 21% 28% 25% 24% 24% 30% 29% 28% 38% 38% 42% 15% 17% 44% 12% 15% 31% 21% 19% 31% 27% 20% 22% 28% 21% 28% 15% 14% 29% 41% 25% 25% 41% 8% 20% 28% 44% 27% 28% 35% 21% 21% 44% 34% 28% 14% 19% 19% 17% 13% 14% 24% 17% 13% 21% 22% 20% 11% 13% 13% 12% 12% 13% 8% 10% 6% 13% 2% 5% 6% 3% 3% Turkey Kazakhstan Czech Poland Russia Azerbaijan Ukraine Belarus Romania Bulgaria Slovenia Serbia Slovakia Croatia Hungary Estonia Lithuania Latvia Double-digit growth Single-digit growth Stable Single-digit decline Double-digit decline

7 Profits in 2009 (1) As credit dried up and sales plunged across CEE profits also took a hit Over 60% of firms in all three Baltic states and Ukraine say profits have dropped more steeply than sales Across the rest of the region, the percentage of firms saying profits have taken a bigger hit than sales is less than 50% Bottom lines held up better in Kazakhstan, Turkey and Slovenia, where fewer than a third have seen profits drop more steeply than sales In Poland, 30% of firms tell us profits outperformed sales exceeding those that say profits have suffered (25%) Profits in 2009 (2) How have profits performed in 2009 vs 2008?
