accounts payables directly attributable to XB003 and a cash consideration of about SEK 102 m. The reduction of Xbrane's organization will reduce annual fixed costs by approximately SEK 120 m. Final implementation of the transaction will be subject to approval by Xbrane's shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) and approval in accordance with the Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) Act (2023:560).
• In March, the company called an EGM, which was held on April 14, 2025.
• In April, the EGM resolved to approve the Board's proposal of sale of certain assets in the company to Alvotech hf. Alvotech will acquire the assets through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Alvotech Sweden AB, co. reg. no. 559522-0673. The agreement is further subject to approval in accordance with the FDI Act (2023:560).
FINANCIAL INFORMATION REPORTS
"The transaction with Alvotech strengthens Xbrane's financial position and enables the company to fully focus on realizing the full value of Ximluci® and Xdivane™, as well as generating significant revenues in the form of royalties and profit sharing."
Q1 2025 marked an important milestone in Xbrane Biopharma's development. We entered into an agreement with Alvotech to sell the biosimilar candidate XB003 (reference drug Cimzia®) and parts of our organization for around SEK 275 m.

Through the deal with Alvotech, we will significantly strengthen our financial position and reduce our fixed costs by around SEK 120 m annually. We have retained over 75 percent of the competitively adjusted addressable market in our portfolio, including Ximluci® (biosimilar to Lucentis®), which has already been approved and launched in Europe, and Xdivane™ (biosimilar candidate to Opdivo®), recently out-licensed to Intas. We will now focus on realizing the full value of these programs and generating royalty income and profit sharing in the coming years. The new, more focused organization with about 25 employees gives us the flexibility to run our remaining programs effectively. We will continue our operations from the transferred facility at Campus Solna for a transition period of 12 months, in accordance with a service agreement with Alvotech. Xbrane retains its platform technology and related patents as well as the expertise to drive the development of biosimilar candidates from cell line to approval. However, the focus in the coming years will be on Ximluci® and Xdivane™.
At the end of Q1, we had cash of approximately SEK 25 m, which is estimated to finance the operations until the transaction with Alvotech closes at the end of May and the payment is received. The company is also in talks with several stakeholders, including suppliers, development partners, investors, and lenders, to secure additional funding. These alternatives include licensing income through partnerships, the raising of capital from both existing shareholders and external investors, and credit and loan financing.
We saw continued strong growth for Ximluci® with a 36 percent volume growth in Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024. The product was launched in the last of the five major European countries, France, in Q1 2025. The review process for marketing authorization in the US is now underway with the FDA and we expect them to announce a BsUFA date (application decision date) and whether they will re-inspect our partners' production facilities.

Preparatory work to start a clinical trial with Xdivane™ has now been completed together with our partner Intas. The documentation for the application to start the study has been completed, the clinical material manufactured and a global CRO contracted. Intas is responsible for, and financing, the clinical trial, in which approximately 340 patients with skin cancer will be recruited, and which is expected to be completed in good time to submit a marketing authorization application to the FDA in Q4 2027.
We look forward to continuing our journey as a focused and financially stronger company, with the aim of providing cost-effective biologics to patients worldwide.

REPORTS
Xbrane has a portfolio of three biosimilar candidates, for different treatment areas. These include a number of serious eye diseases and several different types of cancer.
Ximluci® is a biosimilar candidate to ranibizumab, the original drug Lucentis®, a VEGFa inhibitor used to treat a number of serious eye diseases. Ximluci® addresses a market of around EUR 13 bn1) per year.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved Ximluci® for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), diabetic retinopathy (PDR), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and visual impairment due to choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in 27 member states in Europe in 2022. Ximluci® was launched by Xbrane's partner STADA Arzneimittel AG (STADA) in Q1 2023 and by the end of the quarter, Ximluci® was available in sixteen markets in Europe and one market outside Europe.
At the end of December 2024, the company submitted a BLA to the FDA and the review process for marketing authorization in the US is now underway with the FDA and we expect them to announce a BsUFA date in Q2 2025. It is expected that a standardized review process will take six months. STADA is also actively working to bring Ximluci® to other regions such as the Middle East, Latin America and Southeast Asia, where, among other things, applications for market approval have been submitted to various regulatory authorities in these regions. STADA and Xbrane signed a collaboration agreement with Valorum in May who will commercialize Ximluci® in the US.
Ximluci® is approved in Europe in a vial containing the active substance, from which the ophthalmologist extracts the product into a syringe for injecting into the eye. Xbrane is also working on the development of a pre-filled syringe with the ambition to submit an application for approval to the EMA in 2025.

Xdivane™ is the first product on Xbrane's mammalian cell-based technology platform. Xdivane™ is a biosimilar to the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) inhibitor nivolumab (Opdivo®), a
renowned immuno-oncology product. Opdivo® is expected to generate sales of EUR 13 bn1) and lose its patent protection in December 2028 in the US and June 2030 in Europe. Xbrane's clear ambition for Xdivane™ is to become the leading biosimilar to Opdivo®, both in terms of cost-effectiveness and the time of launch. Xbrane expects that Xdivane™ can be launched in conjunction with the expiration of the Opdivo® patent, which will occur in December 2028. In November 2024, Xbrane entered into a strategic partnership with INTAS for the development and commercialization of Xdivane™. The company has sought approval from the regulatory authorities for a reduced clinical development program and received positive feedback from both the EMA and the FDA. This affects the program's timeline and increases the value of the business case, as a reduced clinical development plan entails significant cost savings. For Xdivane™, development is proceeding according to plan, with the production process scaled up at contract manufacturers and demonstrating scalability, which minimizes the risks for the company's future production of clinical material. The next step in the development is to initiate the clinical study, which the company's partner INTAS will run and is expected to happen during Q2 2025.

Xdarzane™ is a biosimilar candidate to daratumumab, original drug Darzalex®, an antibody that binds to CD38 for the treatment of multiple myeloma (around EUR 9 bn1) in estimated sales). The patent protection for Darzalex® is expected to expire in 2029–2031 depending on the country.
For internal resource reasons the development of Xdarzane™ has continued at a slower pace and is still at the preclinical development stage with a focus on developing a cost-effective production process and demonstrating a biochemical similarity to the original drug.

Solution to a global health problem
The Group's net revenue amounted to SEK 93.2 m (14.1), of which SEK 46.4 m related to upfront payment for the out-licensing of Xdivane™ and SEK 46.6 m was attributable to product sales of Ximluci®.
The cost of goods sold amounted to SEK –40.3 m (–4.8) and the gross profit was SEK 52.9 m (9.3).
Operating expenses for Q1, excluding cost of goods sold, amounted to SEK –34.1 m (–88.4).
Administrative costs amounted to SEK –11.0 m (–11.2).
Research and development expenses amounted to SEK –22.8 m (–76.1). R&D expenses including capitalized development expenditure amounted to SEK –46.8 m (–76.1).
Other operating expenses amounted to SEK –0.3 m (–1.1) and consisted of exchange rate losses on operating receivables and liabilities.
The operating profit was SEK 27.7 m(–73.8). The profit before tax was SEK 19.2 m (–85.0). There was no taxable profit during the quarter and thus no tax expense (0.0). Q1's profit after tax from continuing operations thus amounted to SEK 19.2 million (–85.0). The loss from discontinued operations amounted to SEK 11.1 m (–12.4). In connection with Xbrane entering into an agreement with Alvotech to divest XB003 and parts of its organisation, this was reported under "profit/loss from discontinued operations" in the income statement. The comparative figure for the previous year has also been adjusted for discontinued operations. The loss for the period was SEK 8.2 m (–97.4). Earnings per share for continuing operations amounted to SEK 0.01 (–0.26) and earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.01 (–0.3).
REPORTS
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK –68.6 m (–113.2 ). Cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK –24.0 m (–0.5 ) and mainly related to capitalized research and development expenses.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK –6.7 m (316.0).
The Group's financial position and continued operations The Board of Directors and the CEO continuously monitor the Group's liquidity and financial resources in both the short and longterm. As of March 31, the company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 24.7 m (269.8). Existing liquidity is estimated to be able to finance operations until the end of May when the deal with Alvotech is expected to close. In March, Xbrane took a short-term loan from Systematic Group to secure the company's short-term financing.
The company is also in talks with several stakeholders, including suppliers, development partners, investors, and lenders, to secure additional funding. These alternatives include licensing income through partnerships, the raising of capital from both existing shareholders and external investors, and credit and loan financing.
The Board of Directors and the CEO believe that there are alternatives with good opportunities to ensure the company's financing for at least the coming twelve-month period. If key assumptions about these options change or prove not to be feasible, there is a risk to the company's ability to continue operations, which could cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Share capital on the balance sheet date amounted to SEK 343.5 m (342.9). Other contributed capital amounted to SEK 1,394.7 m (1,412.4). Total equity amounted to SEK 216.3 m (394.1) and the equity ratio was 31 percent (44).
The core business of Xbrane, i.e. the development of biosimilars, is conducted in the parent company. As the parent company constitutes such a large part of the Group, a statement of the current company's results, financial position and cash flow does not provide any additional information beyond what is described in the Group report. Therefore, this is presented only in report format on pages 10–11. The effects of discontinued operations has not been separated in the income statement or the balance sheet for the parent company. See note 6 for further information.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
FINANCIAL REPORTS
Risks and uncertainties are described in the 2024 Annual Report on pages 44–45, available on the company's website, www.xbrane.com. These have not changed significantly at the time of publication of this interim report.

Reported amounts of assets pledged as collateral for current and long-term liabilities:
| Amounts in SEK thousand | 03-31-2025 03-31-2024 12-31-2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Tangible fixed assets | 22,631 | − | 24,445 |

| Chattel mortgages | 25,000 | − | 25,000 |
| Total | 202,962 | − | 206,142 |
The Group's pledged assets amounted to SEK 203.0 m (0.0), of which SEK 162.0 m is collateral pledged to contract manufacturers for the fulfillment of accounts receivable and future production. In addition, the Group has provided collateral for an advance payment from STADA of SEK 26.1 m (0.0) and for a short-term loan from Systematic Group.
In connection with entering into the license and development agreement with Intas Pharmaceuticals, Xbrane has pledged patents related to Xdivane™ as collateral for the fulfillment of obligations.
The management has discussed with the Audit Committee the development, selection and disclosure of the Group's significant accounting policies and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates.
Significant sources of uncertainty in estimates
The sources of uncertainty in estimates set out below are those that involve a significant risk that the value of assets or liabilities may need to be adjusted to a significant extent during the coming financial year
The Group's financial position and continued operations The interim report has been prepared on the assumption that the company has the ability to continue operations during the coming 12 months, in accordance with the going concern principle.
Capitalized expenses are attributable to the development of Ximluci® and Xdivane™.
According to Note 1, "Accounting principles" in the 2024 Annual Report, development expenses are recognized as an asset when the product or process is technically or commercially viable and the company has sufficient resources to complete the development and subsequently use or sell the intangible asset. The company has assessed that all criteria for capitalization of the development expenses of Ximluci® have been met from July 2021. From July 1, 2024, the Group has capitalized development expenses for Xdivane™, i.e. at the time when the criteria for capitalization in accordance with IFRS were deemed to be met. The technical risk in the program is considered limited as analytical similarity has been demonstrated on a commercial production scale and a reduced clinical program has been agreed with the EMA and FDA. In November 2024, the Group signed a global license and collaboration agreement with Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Under the license and development agreement, Intas will finance and be responsible for clinical and regulatory development activities, as well as the global commercialization of the Nivolumab biosimilar candidate. This further strengthens the company's assessment that the opportunities for financing and continued development are good.

REPORTS
The company presents certain financial performance indicators in the interim report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The company believes that these indicators provide valuable supplementary information to investors and the company's management as they enable the evaluation of the company's performance. Since not all companies calculate financial indicators in the same way, these are not always comparable with performance indicators used by other companies. These financial indicators should therefore not be seen as a substitute for performance indicators defined in accordance with IFRS. The tables below present indicators that are not defined in accordance with IFRS.
The gross margin is a measure that the Group considers important for understanding the products' profitability. The gross margin is calculated as gross profit in relation to the revenue. The gross profit is revenue minus cost of goods sold.

EBITDA is a measure that the Group considers relevant for an investor who wants to understand profit generation before investing in fixed assets. EBITDA shows the business's earning capacity from cash flow from operating activities without regard to capital structure and tax situation and is intended to facilitate comparisons with other companies in the same industry.
| Amounts in SEK thousand | 2025 Jan – Mar |
