This year's slightly lower dividend for Todoric is caused by the fact that holding company Agrokor, which manages wit his portfolio companies and is unlisted at stock, last year operated with a loss of 11.6 million. Their revenues fell by nine percent on 1.5 billion, and almost at the same size expenses grew. Most of Agrokor incomes are financial – from dividends and interest rate paid by affiliates, just like them, and financial costs are also financial.
Todoric got a slightly higher dividend than other famous entrepreneurs: Emil Tedeschi received this year 15 million kuna, a dividend of Ante Vlahovic was 14 million. However, if it measured only the value of the companies which have been listed on the stock, the owner of Agrokor from two abovementioned is ‘heavier’ four or five times.
