CEO's comments

During the quarter, EQL delivered a sales growth of 47% and an operating profit (EBIT) growth of 92%. The increase was driven by product launches carried out during the previous financial year, four new launches during the quarter, and the sale of previously unavailable antibiotics. The operating result was negatively affected by costs totaling 2.1 MSEK due to uplisting costs and increased freight costs. For the full year 2024/25, we expect a growth rate of around 40%.

Financial Overview for the First Quarter

During the first quarter of 2024/25, sales rose to 82.8 MSEK, an increase of 47% from 56.2 MSEK the previous year. Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 92% to 15.2 MSEK compared to 7.9 MSEK the previous year, with an EBITDA margin of 19%. The operating margin was negatively affected by approximately 2.1 MSEK due to listing costs on NASDAQ and increased freight costs following disruptions in the Red Sea.

Financial Objectives and Projections for the Fiscal Year

For the full year 2024/25, we project a sales growth of around 40%. Achieving this would align with our long-term sales goals outlined in our five-year plan. Our target is to reach an EBITDA margin of at least 25% at the end of the period. This means, that the EBITDA shall exceed 25% at least in the last quarter of 2024/25. We will also 2 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2024

communicate our financial goals for the next five-year period during the year, which will reflect continuous growth and ambition.

Product Launches and Market Dynamics

During the quarter, four new pharmacy products were launched in the Nordic market, increasing the portfolio from 36 to 40 launched products.

Our strategic key product Mellozzan was launched during the quarter in Germany and Austria and was shortly after the quarter's end also approved in Switzerland. Preparations for the launch in Switzerland and the United Kingdom are ongoing, and launches can occur towards the end of 2024/25.

For Memprex, our second strategic key product, regulatory procedures are ongoing in Germany and France. These markets will form a base for future product expansion to more countries.

During the quarter, four new niche generics were added to our pipeline, which remains at 31 as four products were launched.

Other

From December 2023, our transport routes have been affected by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, causing our transport partners to navigate via the longer route around the Cape of Good Hope. This extends lead times by

2-3 weeks and increases costs, negatively affecting our gross margins.

During the quarter, we received the news that EQL was approved for trading on NASDAQ Stockholm, and shortly after the quarter's end, on July 4th, our stock was listed for trading. The listing on the main list is another important milestone in our company's development as it provides a clear quality mark to suppliers, customers, and investors. It also simplifies for us, as a NASDAQ-listed company, to operate in the Swedish and international capital markets.

Significant events

April 22nd, 2024 – Mellozzan® (melatonin) launched in Germany and Austria EQL's key product Mellozzan® has been launched in Germany and Austria, where it is provided to patients by EQL's license partner Medice Arzneimittel Pütter GmbH & Co. KG. In addition to Germany and Austria, Medice also has ongoing work with registrations in Finland and Switzerland and launch in the UK. In 2023, Medice launched Mellozzan® in Denmark and Norway.

In parallel with the launch, work is ongoing to get Mellozzan® reimbursed in Germany, Austria and the UK. Until that happens, patients will have to pay for the medicine out of pocket which will limit sales initially. This is completely normal for launches in these countries and was planned for by EQL and Medice. EQL sees no reason why Mellozzan® will not become reimbursed in the new markets in the same way as the product has already been in the Scandinavian countries. May 27th, 2024 – EQL Pharma's CEO increases his holding in the company

EQL Pharma's CEO, Axel Schörling, has increased his stake in the company. During the period 22-24 May, Axel Schörling has bought 53,903 shares in the Company at a volume-weighted average price of SEK 47.05, a transaction totalling SEK 2,536,010. The trades were made on Spotlight Stock Market. After the purchases, Schörling owns a total of 311,016 shares, which corresponds to 1.1% of the shares in the Company. This makes him EQL's 3rd largest physical owner and the 9th largest, institutions included.

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 - JUNE 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 seven products in the review phase.

After approval, 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 have six products in the launch phase. Five of these are hospital products whose launches are dependent on outcomes in public tenders. The sixth, Testonur (testosterone) which is classified as a retail product, has an expected launch in the fourth quarter.

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 2027/28.

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.

During the quarter, four products were launched. Propranolol EQL Pharma, Nitrofurantoin EQL Pharma, Allopurinol EQL Pharma and Amitriptyline EQL Pharma. All were launched in Denmark and are classified as retail products which are covered by the Danish health insurance system.

Geographic markets

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

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

During 2024/25 and onwards, we will expand our geographical presence in Europe. Depending on the market, this is done through a direct or indirect sales model. Indirect sales of Mellozzan (melatonin tablets) started in Germany and Austria during the quarter. 6 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 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.

period for the current fiscal year. The Y axis is the number of products marketed..

Market

Retail

We have launched four products in Denmark during the quarter.

  • Propranolol EQL Pharma is a so-called beta blocker which is primarily used in the heart/vasculature treatments, but also as a treatment for migraines, involuntary tremors, among others.
  • Nitrofurantoin EQL Pharma is an antibiotic used to treat acute urinary tract infections caused by bacteria.
  • Allopurinol EQL Pharma is a so-called enzyme inhibitor and is a cornerstone in the treatment of gout.
  • Amitriptyline EQL Pharma belongs to the group of tricyclic antidepressants and is mainly used in the treatment of depression, but also for the treatment of nerve-related pain and migraine.

Hospital

During the quarter, EQL won tenders in Denmark and Iceland and received extended contracts for products in several Swedish regions as well as in Denmark. 7 DELÅRSRAPPORT APRIL - JUNI 2024

Brands

During the first quarter, our partner Medice launched Mellozzan (melatonin tablets) in Germany and Austria. The reception from healthcare and patients has been good. After the end of the quarter, Medice Mellozzan was approved in Switzerland and, just like in the UK, preparations

for launch are now in full swing.

Tests

In the quarter, there was a smaller wave of Covid infections in all Nordic countries, which we noticed with a certain increase in sales compared to the previous quarter.

Golden Oldies

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

So, when were the originators of our new niche generics launched?

Answer: Propranolol 1965, Nitrofurantoin 1958, Amitriptylin 1963 and Allopurinol 1967.

Financial information

8 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2024

Sales and operating profit

In the first quarter of the financial year 2024/2025, our net sales amounted to SEK 82.8 (56.2) million, which corresponds to a growth of 47%.

Figure 4. Net sales trend fiscal year 2020/21 through reporting period for the current fiscal year. Left Y-axis quarterly turnover in SEK million. Right Y-axis rolling 12-months sales expressed in SEK million. * Excluding non-recurring sales

Operating profit for the first quarter amounted to SEK 15.2 (7.9) million. The operating margin (EBIT) was 18% (14%). All business areas contributed positively to the result. Cost increases linked to increased staff strength as well as one-off costs linked to the stock market change and extra shipping costs have a negative impact on the result in the quarter.

Cash flow, investments and financing

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by 41 percent to SEK 37.0 (26.2) million during the quarter, which corresponds to a gross margin of 45 percent (47).

The gross margin was affected by shipping costs, the product mix, depreciation of capitalized development expenses, inventory adjustments and currency effects.

Cash flow

Positive cash flow from operations before changes in working capital of SEK 14.1 (10.8) million for the quarter.

Change in working capital during the quarter amounted to SEK -33.8 (-22.8) million. The change can primarily be explained by an increased capital tie-up in inventory.

The total cash flow from current operations amounted to SEK -19.8 (-12.0) million for the quarter.

Investments

EQL Pharma continues to invest in new products. During the quarter, SEK 7.7 (7.5) million was invested in both ongoing and new projects.

Financing

Cash flow from financing operations totaled SEK 20.4 (-0.1) million during April to June.

Financial costs The quarter's interest expenses attributable to loans amounted to SEK -2.1 (-0.9) million. In addition to interest costs for loans, financial costs are attributable to interest on leasing debt according to IFRS 16. Other financial income for the period amounted to SEK 0.0 (1.5) million.

Financial position

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 13.4 (24.8) million at the end of the quarter and unutilised working capital credit amounted to SEK 17.3 (20.0) million.

Pledged invoice and inventory limits amounted to SEK 140 (110) million.

Additional information

Parent company

EQL Pharma AB is the parent company of the EQL Pharma group. Net sales for the Parent Company during the first quarter amounted to SEK 82.8 (55.1) million. Operating profit amounted to SEK 15.5 (8.1) million for the quarter.

Personnel

The number of full-time employees in the group is 22 (18), out of whom 15 (12) are women, at the Swedish parent company.

In addition to the permanent staff, there are long-term consultants with expertise in GMP, pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, business development and wholesale operations tied to the group.

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 - JUNE 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 as well as booms and recessions may have an impact on operating 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.

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.

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 the EBITDA shall exceed 25% at least in the last quarter of 2024/25. For the upcoming 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. 12 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2024
