CEO comments

The first quarter of 2025 has been pivotal for Alligator, marked by significant clinical, regulatory, and financial progress that strengthens our strategic position moving forward.

FDA alignment marks key milestone for mitazalimab

A major development step was the successful completion of our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for mitazalimab. The FDA confirmed alignment on our clinical development strategy and Phase 3 trial design, providing important regulatory validation thus significantly de-risking the program. We remain on track to initiate the Phase 3 trial in metastatic pancreatic cancer together with a strategic partner during H2 2025.

Encouraging long-term survival data reinforce mitazalimab's potential

We also reported encouraging 24-month survival data from OPTIMIZE-1, showing a survival rate of 29.4% for mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX—three times that of chemotherapy alone. Additional data from an indirect literature comparison, presented at the ASCO GI conference in January, further reinforced these findings and strengthen our confidence in mitazalimab's potential as a transformative treatment option.

During February we also presented top-line data from the backfill 450 µg/kg cohort, requested by the FDA to enable further mitazalimab dose characterisation. The available data further supports 900 µg/kg as the recommended Phase 3 dose.

Focused efforts to secure strategic partnership for mitazalimab

During Q1 we have advanced mitazalimab further; releasing data reinforcing the clinical benefit of mitazalimab in first line metastatic pancreatic cancer, and removing residual regulatory risks associated with manufacturing, Phase 3 and trial design and dose. Looking ahead, our top priority is to secure a strategic partnership for mitazalimab. To support these efforts, we have attended several international partnering meetings. We have also engaged a global transaction advisor with experience and track-record in oncology, in order to strengthen our outreach and increase the likelihood of a mitazalimab partnership.

Other pipeline program advancements

Our broader pipeline continues to evolve. In January, peerreviewed clinical data for our 4-1BB antibody ATOR-1017 were published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, confirming its immunomodulatory activity and supporting its long-term scientific value. In parallel, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to HLX22, out-licensed to Henlius, for the treatment of gastric cancer—a positive step forward in that program.

Strengthening leadership with appointment of new Chief Medical Officer

To support our development efforts, we appointed Dr. Tom Moore as Chief Medical Officer. With his strong background in immuno-oncology and clinical development, Tom adds valuable expertise to Alligator.

Improved financial flexibility through decisive funding and cost-saving measures

During Q1, we also completed our decisive steps to strengthen our financial position and streamline operations. The rights issue announced in December 2024 was approved at the EGM in January and completed in February, raising SEK 153 million (gross). A second EGM, held in March, approved a reverse share split to achieve an appropriate number of shares. Our costreduction program announced in Q4 2024 is running ahead of plan and we will conclude the restructuring in late Q2 2025. Together, these measures will significantly lower our burn rate in the coming quarters, improve our financial flexibility and enable a sharpened focus.

Looking ahead, the upcoming exercise period for the TO 12 warrants, running from 5 to 19 May 2025, offers shareholders an opportunity to support Alligator's continued progress while benefiting from an attractive discounted subscription price.

Commitment to sustainability and longterm value creation

Sustainability continues to be an integral part of our operations. We aim to build long-term value through responsible business practices and good governance, as detailed in our 2024 Annual Report published in March.

Positioned for progress with strong foundation and clear strategy

I would like to thank our shareholders, employees, and partners for your continued support. With solid clinical results, a streamlined organization, and a clear strategy, Alligator is well positioned to deliver on its mission to improve the lives of patients with hard-to-treat cancers.

Market overview

With the continued rise of cancer diagnoses around the world, the need for more effective treatments also grows. Cancer touches all our lives, either directly or through its effect on family and loved ones. There is a great need for therapies that can safely combine immunotherapies and other forms of cancer treatments, to treat, or possibly even cure, cancers.

Need for cancer care

Cancer remains the leading cause of premature death in industrialized countries.¹ Each year, nearly 18 million people are diagnosed with cancer globally,² and in 2020, 10 million people died from the disease.³ By 2025, new cases are projected to reach 21.6 million—a 20% increase.⁴ Based on 2016–2018 data, about 40% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.⁵

Rising life expectancy and better diagnostics contribute to increased detection, often at earlier stages where treatment is more effective. Nearly half of cancer cases occur in Asia, 25% in Europe, and 15% in North America. The incidence rate is about 600 per 100,000 people in Europe and North America, with the highest rates in high-income regions.⁶

Current treatments include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. While advances have improved outcomes and tolerability, the continued high incidence and mortality underline the need for better and safer cancer drugs.

The oncology market

The growing cancer burden is reflected in rising costs. In 2021, oncology drug sales totaled USD 280 billion, with projections reaching USD 480 billion by 2028 and USD 680 billion by 2030.⁷ Alligator believes that new immunotherapies will be central to future treatment. In 2020, oncology represented 14% of the pharmaceutical market and is expected to grow to 23% by 2026.⁸

The immuno-oncology market

Immuno-oncology (IO) stimulates the immune system to fight cancer. The IO market is expected to grow 21% annually, reaching USD 140 billion by 2027. Checkpoint inhibitors like Keytruda®, Opdivo®, Tecentriq®, and Yervoy® are forecasted to generate USD 88 billion in revenue by that time.⁹

Unlike small-molecule generics, biologics face less direct competition due to the complexity of producing biosimilars. Clinical trials are required to prove equivalence, especially for agonistic antibodies like those developed by Alligator, where therapeutic effects can depend on the manufacturing process.

Pancreatic cancer and market outlook

Alligator's lead candidate, mitazalimab, targets pancreatic cancer, which sees approximately 495,000 new cases globally each year.¹⁰ Only 20% of patients are eligible for surgery; for the rest, prognosis remains poor. Median survival without treatment is about six months, and chemotherapy can extend it to 9–11 months.

Common first-line therapies include:

  • Gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel: median OS of 8.1 months; 23% response rate.¹¹
  • FOLFIRINOX: median OS of 11.1 months; 31% response rate.¹²
  • NALIRIFOX: median OS of 11.1 months; 41.8% response rate. Approved in early 2024 following NAPOLI-3 trial.¹³ ¹⁴

The pancreatic cancer market is expected to grow at 11.6% CAGR to USD 5.5 billion by 2029, driven by new therapies and biologics.¹⁵, ¹⁶ Alligator anticipates FOLFIRINOX will become the new first-line standard in the US, expanding mitazalimab's potential patient base. Peak sales for mitazalimab are estimated at up to USD 2 billion annually, depending on clinical performance and market factors.

Market overview, cont.

Competitors

Alligator competes with both large pharma and biotech companies developing antibody-based and immuno-oncology drugs, including AbbVie, Roche, Pfizer/SeaGen, Genmab, and others targeting the same molecular pathways.

Market trends

Alligator assesses that the need and demand for novel immunotherapy drugs will increase moving forward. The main market trends identified by Alligator are as follows:

• Growing number of applications for immunotherapy:

Alligator's assessment is that immunotherapies have a potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. Immunotherapies were first used to treat malignant melanoma, but as of today, they are approved for numerous kinds of cancers, including kidney, head and neck, gastric, lung and bladder cancer as well as lymphoma.

• The need for combination therapies:

Although the emergence of immunotherapies has significantly improved cancer treatments over the past decade, only 15-25% of patients experience a lasting clinical effect with current treatments. To improve the result of treatments, combination therapies, which combine different treatment modalities, have become the cornerstone of cancer treatment. Alligator believes that the scope of combination therapies will increase significantly during the next couple of years. With its unique effect and safety profile, Alligator's antibody drugs are very well suited for combination therapies.

• Partnerships between pharmaceutical companies:

Partnerships are increasing between Big Pharma and small research-based biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in drug discovery and development. The cost of drug development is high, which is why small researchbased pharmaceutical companies often choose to license their products to Big Pharma before large-scale clinical studies are carried out. Big Pharma then carries out the clinical studies that are required and commercialize the drug in the global market. This streamlines the product development process from concept to commercialization and distributes the risks between the parties. The researchbased biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies also receive early returns in terms of upfront and milestone payments linked to development. In addition, licensing contracts usually entitle the small companies to salesrelated milestone payments and royalties on sales, which secures long-term revenues.

• Demographic trend:

Driven by demographic trends such as population aging in developed countries and rising incomes along with improved access to, and more widespread use of, drugs in emerging markets, Alligator expects the total pharmaceutical market to grow.

• Increased expenditure and investment:

In the years ahead, Alligator expects that expenditure will increase, especially in developed countries, due to higher costs for drugs in novel and expensive therapies and a higher price per product in some countries. In addition, development in, for example, developing countries is expected to increase in the years ahead, due to improvements in social safety nets and private insurance.

• Improved access to medicines:

Alligator assesses that global access to medicines will increase. The increase will be driven by a more considerable use of more expensive, patented original drugs in developed countries, more widespread use of cheaper alternatives when patents expire and improved access to medicines in developing countries.

Operations

Alligator believes that for a company like Alligator, economic value is mainly created by out-licensing drug candidates at clinical study stage. Final Phase 3 clinical development as well as marketing and sales is foreseen to primarily be undertaken by Alligator's partners.

Discovery strategy and technology platform

Alligator has developed tumor-directed immunotherapies with a focus on active therapies that provide long-lasting tumor-specific immunity. The technologies form the basis for all drug candidates in our pipeline. Alligator's technologies and know-how provide additional value-creating opportunities through potential collaboration and licensing agreements with third parties.

Preclinical development strategy

The preclinical studies carried out at Alligator have evaluated the safety and toxicity of the antibodies and increased Alligator's understanding of the mechanism of action in more complex systems. The latter is crucial for the design of clinical studies. Preclinical studies are required for permission to commence clinical studies, and something that Alligator transfers to external parties in the event of a need for additional activities.

Manufacturing

Alligator entrusts the production of clinical trial materials to Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs), an approach that enables Alligator to leverage specialized expertise and advanced technology and ensures both efficient and high-quality development processes. Alligator works continuously with manufacturing related issues throughout the entire development process. Alligator is ultimately responsible of the manufacturing conducted by a CDMO.

Clinical development strategy

Alligator has the expertise and capacity to design and conduct clinical studies up to and including clinical proof-of-concept in Phase 2. Alligator also has the medical and regulatory expertise and ability to analyze clinical data in preparation for late-phase clinical studies. The operational aspects of the clinical development process have been contracted to Clinical Research Organizations (CRO), which also makes it possible to conduct clinical studies in several different countries. Alligator is continuously involved in all clinical development steps. Alligator is ultimately responsible for all work performed by a contracted CRO.

Business development strategy

Alligator conducts business development to generate nondilutive income for the shareholders through out-licensing of antibodies and drug candidates, mainly in the preclinical or clinical phase, or further development through collaboration.

Project portfolio – mitazalimab

Driving long-term survival in pancreatic cancer

Mitazalimab is a CD40-targeting stimulatory antibody that activates dendritic cells key players in initiating anti-tumor immune responses. By enhancing dendritic cell function, mitazalimab enables a more effective, tumor-specific activation of T cells. Preclinical studies have shown robust immune activation, long-lasting tumor immunity, and potential for use across multiple cancer types and in combination with chemotherapy, vaccines, and checkpoint inhibitors.

Early clinical results for mitazalimab has confirmed its safety and tolerability, as well as provided biomarker evidence of immune activation. These findings supported the design of the ongoing Phase 2 study, OPTIMIZE-1.

OPTIMIZE-1 – a Phase 3-enabling study

OPTIMIZE-1 is an open-label, multi-center Phase 2 trial evaluating mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX in previously untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer. Data from 57 patients have shown that the combination delivers significant and sustained survival benefits over standard chemotherapy alone. In February 2025, Alligator reported continued encouraging overall survival benefit for mitazalimab from the 24-month follow-up in OPTIMIZE-1 – a follow-up time that sets the candidate apart from many other drugs in clinical evaluation.

Recently published results:

  • The survival rate at 24 months was 29.4% in patients treated with mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX, a threefold increase compared to the estimated 8% for chemotherapy FOLFIRINOX alone16.
  • Median Overall Survival (mOS) was 14.9 months17, a strong outcome compared to 11.1 months reported for FOLFIRINOX16 and more recently for NALIRIFOX18.
  • At the analysis cutoff at 24 months, 16 patients (28%) were still alive, and 5 (9%) remained on treatment. The longest ongoing treatment duration was 32 months.
  • The confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) was 42.1 percent17, aligning well with the reported ORR of 31.6% in a similar patient population treated with FOLFIRINOX alone16, and the 42% ORR reported for NALIRIFOX18. The unconfirmed ORR was 54.4% among the 57 patients evaluated17.

Median Duration of Response (DoR) was 12.6 months17, which was confirmed at the 24-month analysis an exceptional result in this aggressive disease, significantly longer than the 5.9 months reported for FOLFIRINOX16 and 7.3 months reported for NALIRIFOX18.

Mitazalimab received orphan drug designation for pancreatic cancer in both the U.S. (May 2023) and EU (August 2023).

Regulatory progress and Phase 3 readiness

Based on guidance from the FDA and European regulators, Alligator has established a clear regulatory path forward, confirming OPTIMIZE-1 as a Phase 3-enabling study. In response to FDA input, an additional 450 µg/kg dose cohort was added to support dose characterization.

Top-line results from this cohort, reported in February 2025, further validated the 900 µg/kg dose as optimal for Phase 3.

In Q4 2024, a CMC interaction with the FDA confirmed that Alligator's completed and planned work supports Phase 3 progression. Manufacturing of GMP material has been initiated accordingly.

At the FDA's End-of-Phase 2 meeting in January 2025, the proposed global Phase 3 design received alignment from both the FDA and German Paul Ehrlich Institute as a basis for future BLA and MAA submissions.

Next steps

Alligator is preparing to initiate the global Phase 3 trial in H2 2025, with potential for accelerated approval. Partnership discussions are ongoing to support execution of this pivotal study. To strengthen these efforts, Alligator has engaged a global transaction advisor with deep experience and a proven track record in oncology to actively support the partnering process.

Project portfolio – ATOR-4066

a next generation bispecific CD40-agonist

ATOR-4066 is a bispecific antibody developed by Alligator within the Neo-X-Prime™ concept as a sequel to mitazalimab. In addition to CD40, ATOR-4066 targets CEACAM5 (carcino-embryonic antigen 5). CEACAM5 is a protein found in certain tumors, for example colorectal cancer, but not at all or in low amounts in normal tissue, which makes it an attractive target molecule for cancer treatment.

Background

Preclinical data show that ATOR-4066 selectively activates dendritic cells and T cells in material from human tumors, and that this activation is dependent on CEACAM5- expression in the tumor. Moreover, data from experimental models demonstrate that the molecule activates the immune system and protects against tumors. These results have been published in the peer-reviewed journal Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer. 19

Project progress

The mechanism and potential of ATOR-4066 was strengthened further during the data published at SITC in November 2024 showing that ATOR-4066 alone can eliminate large tumors with heterogenous CEACAM5-expression, thereby limiting tumor-escape mechanisms and forming the basis for single agent use of the molecule in certain cancers. Based on these positive data, Alligator expects to initiate CMC process development and other IND-enabling activities for ATOR-4066 as soon as possible, dependent on operational and financial capability.

In January 2024, the USPTO granted the first US patent for ATOR-4066.

Project portfolio – ALG.APV-527

a tumor-directed bispecific antibody

ALG.APV-527 is a bispecific antibody co-developed by Alligator and Aptevo Therapeutics since 2017. The molecule is a T-cell engager which combines a tumortargeting domain (5T4) and an immunostimulatory domain (4-1BB), designed to activate immune cells only upon simultaneous binding to both targets—ensuring tumor-specific activity and minimizing off-target effects.

Background

5T4 is a protein expressed on several solid tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma. ALG.APV-527 stimulates both T cells and NK cells in the tumor microenvironment, supporting a strong immune response while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

The antibody was developed using Alligator's ALLIGATOR-GOLD® library and optimized with Aptevo's ADAPTIR™ platform. The partners share ownership and development costs equally under a 50/50 agreement.

Preclinical data, published in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, demonstrated potent tumor-specific immune activation, immunologic memory, and a strong safety profile with no systemic immune activation or liver toxicity.

Clinical progress

In 2023, the first patient was dosed in a Phase 1 study evaluating safety and preliminary efficacy in patients with 5T4 expressing tumors. Interim data announced in March 2024 showed a favorable safety and pharmacokinetics profile, along with early signs of efficacy in heavily pretreated breast cancer patients. By Q4 2024, the study met key endpoints including adequate exposure, safety, tolerability, and biological activity. The companies are currently evaluating the next steps for the program.

These results support further clinical development of ALG.APV-527 as a promising tumor-targeted immunotherapy with the potential for improved efficacy and reduced side effects.

HLX22 entered into Phase 2 clinical development in gastric cancer during Q3 2021, a study that is expected to be completed in December 2025. In Q4 2022, Shanghai Henlius Biotech Inc. announced the Chinese IND approval for a second Phase 2 clinical study of HLX22 in gastric cancer. In September 2024, Shanghai Henlius Biotech Inc. reported updated Phase 2 clinical data for HLX22 at the 2024 ESMO Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress, showing that HLX22 in combination with trastuzumab (HLX02) and chemotherapy significantly prolonged progression-free survival and led to an increased antitumor response in patients with HER2 positive gastric cancer. An additional IND for a multicenter Phase 3 study of HLX22 in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy was approved by the US FDA in May 2024, in which the first patient was dosed in Q4 2024.

Alligator warrant programs

After the reverse split

All warrants have been transferred to the participants at fair market value.

Warrant program LTI 2023-I/2023-II

If all warrants LTI 2023-I/LTI 2023- II are exercised a total of 209,468 new ordinary shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 1.2%. All warrants have been transferred to the participants at fair market value.

Warrant program LTI 2024-I/2024-II

Review

This report has not been reviewed by Alligator's auditor.

Employees

The number of employees in the Group at the end of the quarter was 33 (55), including employees under notice period. Of these, 12 (16) were men and 21 (39) were women. Of the total number of employees at the end of the quarter 11 (46) were employed within research and development.

Financial calendar

Alligator intends to publish its financial reports according to the following:

  • Interim report January June 2025: 10 July 2025
  • Interim report January September 2025: 23 October 2025
  • Year-end report 2025: 12 February 2026

Risks and uncertainties

During the course of its business operations, the Group is exposed to various financial risks, such as market risk (comprising foreign exchange risk, interest-rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The aim of the Group's overall risk management is to achieve minimal adverse effects in terms of earnings and financial position.

The Group's business risks, risk management and financial risks are described in detail in the Annual Report for 2024.

Conflicts in the world

Many wars and conflicts are raging around the world, resulting in enormous human suffering. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has worsened the political security situation in the rest of the world and created great uncertainty in the financial markets, which may affect the Group's ability to finance clinical trials in the future. The conflict between Israel and Palestina has been going on for decades and has flared up many times over the years. Recently, the violence has escalated and caused enormous suffering. Some other countries around the world are also at war right now.

The Group has no direct business in, nor does it conduct any clinical studies in affected countries but sees that the Group will suffer from increased raw material and energy prices, which in turn will translate into increased prices for goods and services.

Cyber security

Cyber-attacks have become a significant threat in society and for Alligator, which is dependent on IT support in its daily operations. The Group has ongoing work to ensure that the Group is well prepared to counter cyber-attacks and other types of intrusion.

Statement of financial position

Cash and cash equivalents comprised of bank balances and totaled SEK 28,853 (40,022) at the end of the period. Alligator works continuously to secure financing of the operation. This includes new licensing agreements with upfront payments as well as other financing alternatives. Alligator completed a rights issue in February 2025. Following the completion of the rights issue of units (ordinary shares and warrants series TO 12 and TO 13), it is Alligator's assessment that there is funding for 2025, provided that the two warrant programs in 2025 are subscribed to at least the expected extent. However, this means that as of the date of this quarterly report, Alligator's funding for 2025 is not secured.

The Board has noted that the equity is below half of the registered share capital. Alligator has considered the provisions in Chap. 25 in the Swedish Companies Act and and concluded that Alligator has large surplus values in primarily the mitazalimab project that good margin exceeds the deficiency in equity. Thus, no actual deficiency in equity exists that requires the Board to prepare a balance sheet for liquidation purposes

Accordingly, the actual outcome may differ significantly from the assumptions stated in the forward-looking information depending on, among other factors, changes in the economy or market, changes in legal or regulatory demands, political decisions and changes in exchange rates.

Financial statements

Unless otherwise stated in this interim report, numbers refer to the Group. Due to the nature of the business, there can be large fluctuations in revenue which are not seasonal or regular but are mainly linked to when milestones generating a payment are reached in out-licensed research projects. Like revenue, expenses can also fluctuate between periods. Among other factors, this fluctuation in expenses is influenced by the current phase of the various projects since certain phases generate higher costs.

Figures in brackets refer to the outcome for the corresponding period in the preceding year for figures related to the income statement and cash flow. For figures related to the financial position and personnel, figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2024.

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts are in SEK thousand (KSEK).

Net Sales

The collaboration agreement with Orion Corporation ended during 2024, which means that the Group has no net sales during the first quarter.

Other operating income

Other operating income for the quarter comprises primarily of income related to the sale of tangible assets, government grants and operational exchange gains.

Operating costs

Operating costs are lower compared to the same period previous year and are mainly due to lower costs in mitazalimab OPTIMIZE-1 study that had its peak patient recruitment last year. External costs for mitazalimab amounted to SEK 21,854 thousand (23,799) during the first quarter of the year. These costs are driven by Phase 3-enabling activities, e.g. production of study material and costs for the ongoing OPTIMIZE-1 study.

Financial items

Financial income relates to fair value adjustment of the financial debt relating to the warrant series TO 12 and TO 13, which were part of the rights issue of units in February 2025. TO 12 and TO 13 were issued free of charge.

Financial expenses include primarily interest expenses and amortized cost related to external short-term loans.

ASSETS

Participations in development projects

The Group's participations in development projects refers to cooperation with the South Korean company AbClon Inc. for the Biosynergy project (HLX22). Biosynergy is outlicensed to the Chinese company Shanghai Henlius, which is now further developing the drug candidate. At the end of the period, participations in development projects amounted to SEK 27,865 thousand (17,949). Significant estimates and judgments are described in Note 3 and Note 18 of the Annual report for 2024. Regarding the acquired participation in development project, the conditions for the project have improved and the probability that the drug candidate will achieve milestones and incur royalties have increased. Part of the previous impairment was thus reversed during 2024.

Right of use assets

At the end of the period, right of use assets amounted to SEK 2,376 thousand (15,343). Right of use assets pertain to leases for offices and laboratories, machines and vehicles.

In June 2022 Alligator entered into a lease contract with Medicon Village for lab and office premises valid from December 2024 with a contract period of 5 years. The new contract has increased the right of use assets by approximately SEK 40.4 million based on the use of the contract period without extension and replaces the previous contract with Medicon Village regarding lab and office premises. Impairment of 100% of the right of use asset has been accounted for since the move to the new premises has been cancelled, due to the restructuring of the operations now completed by the Group. In February 2025, Alligator entered into a 3 year lease contract with Medicon Village for limited office premises.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances, SEK 28,853 thousand (40,022).

The Group plans to use its liquidity for operating activities. A portion of the Group's liquidity is invested in USD, EUR and GBP foreign currency accounts.

In accordance with the Group's Financial Policy, inflows of foreign currencies exceeding the expected requirements for the coming 18 months are to be converted to SEK at the time of payment. Besides this, no further hedging has taken place.

EQUITY AND LIABILITIES

Equity

The Board has noted that the equity is below half of the registered share capital. The Board has considered the provisions in Chap. 25 in the Swedish Companies Act and concluded that Alligator has significant surplus values (in amongst others, the mitazalimab project) that with good margin restores the share capital.

Alternative performance measures

Alligator presents certain financial performance measures in this report, including measures that are not defined under IFRS. The Group believes that these performance measures are an important complement because they allow for a better evaluation of the Group's financial trends. These financial performance measures should not be viewed in isolation or be considered to replace the performance indicators that have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, such performance measures as Alligator has defined them should not be compared with other performance measures with similar names used by other companies. This is because the above-mentioned performance measures are not always defined in the same manner, and other companies may calculate them differently to Alligator.

Below is shown the calculation of key figures, for the mandatory earnings per share according to IFRS and also for performance measures that are not defined under IFRS or where the calculation is not shown in another table in this report.

The Group's business operation is to conduct research and development which is why "R&D costs/Operating costs excluding impairment in%" is an essential indicator as a measure of efficiency, and how much of the Group's costs relate to R&D.

The Group does not have a steady flow of income, with income generated irregularly in connection with the signing of license agreements and achievement of milestones. Therefore, the Group monitors performance indicators such as equity ratio and equity per share in order to assess the Group's solvency and financial stability. These are monitored along with the cash position and the various measures of cash flows shown in the consolidated statement of cash flow.
