CEO's comments

The third quarter 2024/25 was eventful for EQL Pharma. The first acquisition of significant character was signed, sales grew by 31%, and operating profit by 52%. After the end of the quarter, financing for the acquisition has been secured, and closing of the deal was performed on 31st January. The ambitions for the coming four year period are being refined and will be presented on Friday, March 7, at EQL's first ever capital markets day. Sales growth for the full year 2024/25 is forecasted to be around 40%.

Financial Overview for the third Quarter

During the quarter, sales rose to 92.2 MSEK, an increase of 31% from 70.2 MSEK the previous year. Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 52% to 14.8 MSEK compared to 9.8 MSEK the previous year, with an EBITDA margin of 19%. The operating margin was negatively affected by continued transport disruptions in the Red Sea, which pressured the gross margin to 41% (48%).

There was no significant sale of Covid-19 tests during the quarter, this means that the entire growth was driven by increased pharmaceutical sales.

Liquid assets amounted to 15.6 (10.4) MSEK at the end of the quarter. In addition, there is an unused working capital credit of 10.5 (9.6) MSEK. 2 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - DECEMBER 2024

Financial Objectives and Projections for the Fiscal Year

For the full year 2024/25, we project sales growth of around 40%. Achieving this would be in line with our longterm sales goals as stated in our five-year plan. In addition to the sales target, our goal is to achieve an EBITDA margin of at least 25% during the last quarter of 2024/25.

Product Launches and Market Dynamics

An asset acquisition consisting of four niche originals was signed during the quarter. The products are Buronil, Folimet, Hydromed, and Marplan. These are typical EQL products with stable sales that have been on the market for a long time. The portfolio is expected to add approximately 51 MSEK in sales and 28 MSEK in EBITDA, with a gross margin of 71%, on annual basis. The acquisition also provides access to new markets and the opportunity for certain optimizations by consolidating manufacturing and launch in new markets. After the end of the quarter, financing was secured via a bond, which was heavily oversubscribed. The bond interest rate, which was 3M STIBOR + 4.0%, combined with the great interest in the bond, is seen as a vote of confidence in investors' view of EQL's business model and development opportunities.

Other

With a new President in the USA and cautious signals that the situation in the Middle East is de-escalating, we hope

that the de facto blockade of the Suez Canal will end in 2025. We are closely monitoring developments, and when the situation is deemed safe, our transporters will start using the Suez Canal again. This would, in turn, lead to lower transport costs and thus strengthened gross margins, with a certain time lag, as a large part of the current inventory has been transported at a higher cost.

Furthermore, we will present our new strategic plan at a capital markets day on March 7. This will be the first time EQL Pharma calls for a capital markets day. The idea is to communicate the new financial goals and explain how these will be achieved, as well as the opportunities and risks we see. We will also go through our operations in a more detail than we can do in the usual quarterly presentations. We hope that as many as possible will participate, either on-site, at Carnegie in Stockholm, or via live video link.

Product development

Pipeline

EQL Pharma's reporting of the pipeline takes place at a general level and does not include, with the exception of launch phase products, the names of individual products or the products' current or expected market potential. Our goal is to provide better guidance to shareholders without disclosing information to competitors and without our pipeline being interpreted as a financial prospect. The information is updated in connection with the quarterly reports.

Figure 1. Total pipeline of products and how many products are in Review phase and Launch phase respectively.

Products in different phases

Development phase is used here as a general term. In this term all products we actually develop together with partners in, for example, India or the EU are included. But in addition to these products, the term also includes all products on which we have signed licensing or distribution 5 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - DECEMBER 2024

agreements for one or more geographical markets, although we do not develop the product ourselves.

When a product is fully developed, the application is submitted to the Medicines Agency in the markets where we intend to sell the product. The Agency's then initiate an audit, which generally takes about one year from application to approval. We call this step Review phase. At the end of the quarter, we had eight products in the review phase.

When we know that the product is approved, we can place orders for manufacturing and delivery. In parallel with this, we apply for government reimbursement and tenders to the extent that they are available. We call this step the launch phase and usually it takes about six to twelve months from approval until the first package is delivered to pharmacies.

Products in the Launch phase

At the end of the quarter, we had twelve products in the launch phase. Four of these are hospital products whose launches depend on the outcome of public tenders. The other eight are classified as outpatient products, four of which were acquired during the quarter from MediLink A/S (see significant events).

During all stages from the development phase to the

launch phase, situations can arise that risk delaying a launch or even making it impossible. Both ourselves and our carefully selected partners do everything we can to prevent these situations from occurring, but there are always risk factors beyond our control. This means that launches can take place both earlier and later than indicated. The chart below is intended to provide a best guess at any given time.

Expected launches

Figure 2. The company's product launches for the current fiscal year and expected product launches up to and including fiscal year 2029/30.

Market

EQL Pharma has an aggressive growth strategy driven by the launch of new products combined with expansion into new markets. Our products are often generic to originals that have been around for a very long time. The definition of "product" is a unique substance and / or formulation. So PenV tablets and oral

This means that the markets we enter are generally mature, but also that there are few, if any, generic competitors to our products and that it is unlikely that many new ones will be added.

Marketed products

suspension count as two products, not one. A product can be launched in several countries at the same time with different pack sizes but is still only counted as one product launch.

No new products have been launched in this quarter.

Geographic markets

Today, we operate directly under our own brand in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.

In the rest of the world our products are sold indirectly through partners.

In 2024/25 and beyond, we will expand our geographical presence worldwide. Depending on the market, this will be done through a direct or indirect sales model. During the quarter, the following indirect launches have taken place: Mellozzan oral solution has started to be sold in Germany. 6 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - DECEMBER 2024

Business areas

We currently develop and sell only prescription drugs, and tests, in our core business. In that category

there are several interesting business areas. So far, we have mostly invested in (a) the field of interchangeable generics in outpatient care (Retail). The intention is to broaden the portfolio to include more (b) injection products for inpatient care (Hospital), (c) unique products/formulations for above all outpatient care (Brands) and d) tests to identify Covid and/or influenza infections (Tests ).

Outpatient generics are mainly sold via various exchange systems such as the Swedish "Periodens Vara" system. The injection products are generally sold via public tendering. The unique products achieve sales only through prescription specifically of our product and the tests are sold direct to consumer with pharmacies as the primary sales channel.

Market

Retail

During the quarter, EQL acquired four products from Danish MediLink A/S. Two of these can be classified as retail products, i.e. they are sold primarily through various substitution systems at pharmacies.

  • Folimet® Contains folic acid for the treatment of anemia caused by folic acid deficiency and for pregnant women in low doses to prevent malformations, so-called neural tube defects, in fetuses. • Hydromed® – Contains hydrochlorothiazide, which is a so-called diuretic used to treat edema and high blood
  • pressure.

Hospital

During the quarter, EQL won tenders in Sweden and Finland and received extended contracts for products in Denmark and several Swedish regions.

Brands

Two of the products acquired from MediLink A/S can be classified as brands as they are sold exclusively via prescription by a doctor. • Buronil® – Contains malperone which is used to treat • Marplan® – Contains isocarboxazid and is a so-called

  • anxiety and worry in mainly elderly patients.
  • MAO inhibitor which is used for the treatment of moderate to severe depression.

Tests

There has been no Covid epidemic during the quarter and sales of tests have therefore been moderate.

More "Olden Goldies"? Yes, please!

We at EQL have a preference (strategy) for older drugs where competition is limited and the establishment in healthcare is deeply rooted.

So, when were the originators of our new acquisitions launched?

Risk factors

This financial report includes statements that are forward looking but actual future results may differ materially from those anticipated. In addition to the factors discussed, the earnings can be affected by delays and difficulties in the various phases of development, such as formulation, stability, preclinical and clinical trials, but also potentially competition, economic conditions, patent protection and the exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, and political risks. 11 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - DECEMBER 2024

Several risk factors may have a negative impact on the operations of EQL Pharma. It is therefore important to consider the relevant risks alongside the Company's growth opportunities. The following text describes risk factors in no particular order and with no claim to be exhaustive. Delays in launching new products can mean deterioration in earnings for the company and it cannot be excluded that the EQL Pharma in the future may need to raise additional capital. An aggressive investment strategy from competition could pose risks in the form of slower sales and weaker profitability. Increased competition could lead to negative sales and earnings effects for the Company in the future.

External factors such as inflation, currency and interest rate fluctuations, supply and demand, booms and recessions as well as geopolitical such as the unrest in the Middle East may have an impact on operating costs, freight costs, selling prices and equity valuations. EQL Pharma's future revenues and valuation of shares may be adversely affected by these factors, which are beyond the Company's control. A large part of the purchases is made in euro whose value can change significantly.

EQL Pharma will continue to develop new products in its field. Time and cost aspects of product development can be difficult to pre-determine with accuracy. This entails the risk that a proposed product is more costly than planned or takes longer than planned.

Additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known to EQL Pharma may be developed into important factors that affect the Company's operations, results and financial position.

For a more detailed list of risks, we refer to EQL's Annual Report 2023/24, pages 42-43 and 58-60.

Additional information

Accounting policies EQL Pharma's consolidated accounts are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). EQL Pharma's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. For the Group, the same accounting policies as those adopted for this report are described on pages 51-57 of the company's Annual Report for 2023/2024 with the addition of IFRS 13 where fair value has been calculated for all financial assets and liabilities. The fair value of other financial assets, other receivables, trade receivables and other short-term receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and other liabilities and interest-bearing liabilities is estimated to be equal to its book value. The company has loans with variable interest rates and thus the fair value is deemed to be in line with the book value. Our financial goals

Reporting for the Parent follows the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council ('Reporting for Legal Entities').

For the current four-year period, spanning from 2020/21 to 2024/25, we aim to grow by an average of 40 percent per year. The growth pertains to sales of a recurring nature. Furthermore, we aim for the EBITDA margin to be more than 25 percent at the end of the period. This means, that 12 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - DECEMBER 2024

the EBITDA shall exceed 25% at least in the last quarter of 2024/25. For the current fiscal year 2024/25, we expect a growth of around 40 percent. If achieved, this would mean that the average sales target over the four-year period is met.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting policies

The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Annual Accounts Act and the Nasdaq Stockholm Rule Book for Issuers. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 p. 16A appear not only in the financial statements and their accompanying notes but also in other parts of the interim report. Valuation according to IFRS 13 explains that fair value has been calculated for all financial assets and liabilities. The fair value of other financial assets, other receivables, trade receivables and other short-term receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and other liabilities and interest-bearing liabilities is estimated to be equal to its book value. The company has loans with variable interest rates and thus the fair value is deemed to be in line with the book value. The parent company applies the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

The tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 2.4 milion on the balance sheet date. The majority
of the right of use assets consists of leases for office premises. For all leases for which the Group
is lessee (which are not short-term leases or low value assets), the Group recognizes a right of
use asset and a corresponding lease liability.
When valuating the right of use asset, the acquisition method is used, i.e the right of use asset is
calculated at acquisition cost, adjusted for any revaluation of the lease liability less depreciation.
The right of use asset is reported as a tangible fixed asset, while leasing liability is reported
separately in the Group's statement of financial position as long-term debt, interest-bearing and

calculated at acquisition cost, adjusted for any revaluation of the lease liability less depreciation. The right of use asset is reported as a tangible fixed asset, while leasing liability is reported separately in the Group's statement of financial position as long-term debt, interest-bearing and short-term debt, interest-bearing.

Notes

Note 5 Transactions with related parties

The nature and extent of related party transactions are described in the group's annual report for 2023/24.

Transactions with related parties arise in the day-to-day operations and are based on commercial terms and market prices. In addition to customary transactions between group companies and remuneration to management and the board, the following transactions with related parties have taken place during the period: Transactions with Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd regarding goods purchases and development costs have taken place with SEK 54.7 (23.7) million during the period April to December 2024. Options Scheme – During the period April to December 2024, the company has allocated 100

Note 6 Incentive Programmes

000 new warrants to the company's CEO.

The warrants have been issued to the fair market value of the warrants at the time of subscription, which was be determined by Optionspartner as independent valuation institute in accordance with the Black & Scholes valuation formula. Subscription price per warrant amounted to SEK 1.94 and cash received amounted to SEK 194,000. Subscription of shares by virtue of the warrants may be effected from and including 21

February 2028 to and including 6 March 2028.

Each warrant entitles the right to subscribe for one new share in the company at a subscription price per share corresponding to 200 per cent of the volume weighted average price according to Nasdaq Stockholm's official price list for shares in the company during the ten trading days that follows immediately after the publication of the company's interim report for April – June 2024. 20 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - DECEMBER 2024

In case all warrants issued in connection with the incentive program are exercised for subscription of new shares, a total of 100,000 new shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.34 per cent of the company's share capital and votes.

There are previously outstanding incentive programs in the company in the form of four warrant programs through which a maximum of 732,000 new shares may be issued. If all warrants that have been issued and held by participants are fully utilized for the subscription of shares, a total of 832,000 new shares will be issued, which corresponds to a combined dilution of approximately 2.78 percent of the company's share capital and votes after full dilution.

The earnings conditions mean that the individuals annually for 3.5 years earn the right to the warrants and where it exists a requirement for employment during the respective period. As the warrants in the Warrants Programs will be issued to the participant at their fair market value, it is the company's assessment that no social costs will occur for the company as a result of the Warrants Programs.

Description of the full terms and conditions for incentive programs can be found on the company's website under Investor Relations.
