Camurus had a successful second quarter with increased growth for Buvidal® in Europe and Australia and positive development for Brixadi® in the US. The evidence base for these treatments was expanded with several new publications, including data on treatment efficacy in opioid dependent patients using fentanyl. Our product portfolio continued to advance with two regulatory applications under review for CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly, with expected approval decision by the FDA in October 2024 and by the EMA around the middle of next year. In parallel, pre-launch activities for Oclaiz™ and the establishment of our commercial organization in the US progressed according to plan. After the period, positive topline results from ACROINNOVA 2 were announced, confirming the safety profile and long-term efficacy of CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly.
Camurus' operations and revenues developed well during the quarter, resulting in organic growth of 46 percent (41 percent at CER) compared to the previous year, excluding a one-time milestone of SEK 369 million on FDA approval of Brixadi in the US in 2023. Total revenues during the period were SEK 445 million, mainly attributable to sales of Buvidal in Europe, the Middle East and Australia, and royalties from the sales of Brixadi in the US. Operating expenses during the period were SEK 331 million, of which SEK 174 million represented R&D investments in our advancing pipeline. Profit before tax was SEK 104 million.
Excluding the one-time milestone, total revenues in the first half of the year increased by 42 percent to SEK 835 million and profit before tax by 129 percent to SEK 201 million. Based on the robust operational performance, we expect to finalize in the mid to high
range of provided full year 2024 guidance. Cash flow during the period was SEK 293 million resulting in a cash position at the end of the period of SEK 2,6 billion.
The positive long-term growth trajectory for Buvidal continued during the quarter as we addressed barriers to reimbursement and funding, which has increased access to evidence-based treatment for patients with opioid dependence. Sales of Buvidal during the quarter were SEK 400 (305) million, a 31 percent increase versus same period last year (28 percent at CER), and 10 percent (6 percent at CER) versus previous quarter. The market development and response from patients and healthcare providers in Europe and Australia continues to be very positive.
Expect to finalize in the mid to high range of provided 2024 full year guidance
In Germany, sales increased significantly as a result of strong execution by our German team and implementation of new market initiatives. In England and France, as well as other markets, an increasing interest in Buvidal is noted among key stakeholders within the healthcare system and new funding has become available at clinics. Inventory levels in the UK and Australia have normalized compared to the first quarter, resulting in reported results better reflecting in-market sales. In Australia, the market share of long-acting injectable buprenorphine is estimated to exceed 30 percent of the total number of patients in treatment for opioid dependence and Buvidal has about 80 percent share of this segment. Growth in Finland continues from an already very strong position for Buvidal with a high double-digit market share. In total, more than 53,000 patients were estimated to be in treatment with Buvidal at the end of the period, a net increase of more than 3,000 patients.
In the US, the market uptake for Brixadi* continued to impress. Compared to the previous quarter, sales increased by about 75 percent, resulting in royalty revenue from our license partner Braeburn of SEK 45 million compared to SEK 26 million previous quarter. Coverage rates among US payers (Medicaid, commercial, correctional, and federal) continued to increase from an already high level and the distribution chain was strengthened to increase access to Brixadi for patients in need in the US.
In the US, the market uptake for Brixadi continued to impress
* Brixadi® is the US brand name for Camurus' product Buvidal® ** Oclaiz™ is the conditionally approved US brand name for CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly
The adoption rate of Brixadi, alongside a significant unmet medical need and high interest from treatment providers and patients, strengthens our positive view on the market potential of Brixadi in the US.
During the period, more than 15 scientific articles were published on Buvidal (Brixadi) expanding the evidence base in the treatment of opioid dependence. This included new data from a post hoc analysis of our previous Phase 3 study, supporting the use of Buvidal/Brixadi in opioid dependent patients using fentanyl, published in JAMA Network Open1 . Furthermore, we had significant presence at leading international conferences, including ASAM in Dallas, CPDD in Montreal, ALBATROS in Paris and EUROPAD in Lisbon, where important new findings and results regarding the use of Buvidal and Brixadi were presented. Additionally, 12 investigator-initiated studies with Buvidal and Brixadi in various clinical applications progressed.
During the quarter, we continued to advance our three CAM2029 development programs for the treatment of acromegaly, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) and polycystic liver disease (PLD):
In the acromegaly program, our Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly was accepted for review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). A decision on market approval in the EU is expected around mid-2025. In parallel, the review process of our New Drug Application (NDA) for CAM2029 (Oclaiz™**) by the US Food and Drug Administration continued to advance towards the PDUFA action date 21 October 2024.
In addition to the regulatory progress, we participated at all leading endocrinology conferences. Several presentations and posters with topline results from ACROINNOVA 1 and interim
results from ACROINNOVA 2 were presented at AACE in New Orleans, ENDO 2024 in Boston and ECE 2024 in Stockholm, where we also had a well-received satellite symposium on new and upcoming treatments for acromegaly.
After the end of the quarter, we reported positive final topline results from the 52-week Phase 3 ACROINNOVA 2 study, confirming previously communicated interim results.2 The study included a total of 135 patients with acromegaly of which 81 were new recruited patients, the majority of whom were not biochemically controlled on standard of care (SoC) at baseline (IGF-1<2xULN). The remaining 54 patients were transferred to ACROINNOVA 2 after six months of treatment with CAM2029 or placebo in ACROINNOVA 1 and were generally controlled on SoC at baseline (IGF-1≤1xULN). The results from ACROINNOVA 2 showed that CAM2029 is well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with SoC with first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (SRL). There was a significant improvement in treatment response from SoC at baseline to the end of the study of 12.7 percent (95%CI: 11.6, 33.9). For new recruited patients the increase was 22.8 percent (95%CI: 11.6, 33.9), while controlled patients on SoC remained controlled after treatment with CAM2029. In addition, reduced disease symptoms and improved treatment satisfaction and quality of life were reported after treatment with CAM2029 compared to SoC at baseline. If approved, CAM2029 has the potential to become an important new treatment option for patients living with acromegaly.
In the GEP-NET program, the Phase 3 SORENTO study progressed. The goal is to demonstrate increased progression-free survival when treated with CAM2029 compared to current SoC for GEP-NET with first generation somatostatin receptor ligands3,4. The primary endpoint of the study will be read out after 194 events of tumor progressions or deaths have been observed. Based on available information, topline results are expected in the first half of 2025.
Finally, our Phase 2/3, randomized, placebo-controlled study POSITANO, which is evaluating treatment efficacy and safety of CAM2029 in patients with symptomatic PLD, progressed according to plan. Topline results from the study are expected in the first half of 2025.
During the quarter, an additional preclinical study of a FluidCrystal® monthly depot of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide (CAM2056) was completed. Data from the study show that repeated escalated dosing of CAM2056 was well tolerated, resulting in continued significant dose-dependent weight reduction compared to placebo. Based on the results, Camurus is preparing for a clinical study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of repeated dosing of CAM2056. The study is planned to start around the turn of the year 2024/25. In parallel, preclinical evaluations of other product candidates, including GLP-1 analogues, continued with promising initial results.
During the quarter, we completed and submitted our first Communication on Progress to the United Nations Global Compact,5 and participated in the accelerator programs Human Rights and Climate Ambition. Furthermore, we renewed our certificate as a Nasdaq Transparency Partner, strengthened our compliance framework, and supported and participated in activities to decrease stigma and improve patients' access to treatment.
Sustainability was also on the agenda at our internal global meeting held in May. In addition to reviewing and planning sustainability work across business areas, the meeting was a great opportunity for all of us, including the new team in the US, to meet and celebrate our achievements, discuss the implementation of company goals and strategy, and share and develop our corporate culture and values.
The establishment of our US organization continues under the leadership of Behshad Sheldon. In the second quarter, key functions were onboarded with enthusiastic and dedicated new employees with extensive experience of successful product launches and commercialization of specialty and rare disease medicines in the US market. The recruitment of regional sales managers and pharmaceutical representatives was also initiated with the goal of having a full team in place during the fourth quarter of 2024, ready for the launch of Oclaiz™.
During the quarter we appointed Bo Tarras-Wahlberg as VP Legal & Group General Counsel and member of the company's executive management team, starting early fall 2024. Bo has extensive international experience from senior legal roles in the pharamceutical industry. He joins Camurus from a position as Associate General Counsel, Western Europe Infusion Therapies & Technologies and Pharma at Baxter Healthcare.
Camurus delivered high sales growth and profitability in the second quarter while also making significant investments in our pipeline and our US operations. Sales of Buvidal and Brixadi were strong and the scientific evidence base continued to expand.
At the same time, we are approaching the PDUFA action date for a potential FDA approval of CAM2029 and preparing for a commercial launch of Oclaiz™ in the US. New Phase 3 data show that CAM2029, if approved, could become an important new treatment option for patients with acromegaly. Assuming positive results from the ongoing SORENTO study, CAM2029 also has potential as a new first-line treatment for patients with GEP-NET. Based on our strong financial position and continued profitability, Camurus is well prepared for bringing CAM2029 to patients across our markets and target indications. At the same time, we continue expanding and progressing our early pipeline of preclinical and clinical programs.
Furthermore, we are active in business development, including the evaluation of products and product candidates with commercial or pipeline synergies.
Camurus' commitment to make new innovative medicines available to patients with serious and chronic diseases continues. We have an exciting period ahead of us with continued focus on commercial growth and advancement of our pipeline, and we look forward to reaching new significant milestones over the coming quarters.
Lastly, thank you all coworkers and collaborators for your contributions to Camurus' progress this quarter.
Fredrik Tiberg President and CEO
Camurus has an advanced and diversified pipeline of innovative investigational and marketed medical products for the treatment of serious and chronic diseases. New products are conceived based on extensive R&D expertise and applying the company's proprietary injection depot technology, FluidCrystal®, to active substances with available positive clinical data on efficacy and safety. As a result, new proprietary medicines with improved treatment outcomes and patient benefits can be developed both in a shorter time and to a lower cost, as well as with lower risk compared to the development of new chemical substances.


Buvidal (buprenorphine) prolonged-release solution for injection is used for the treatment of opioid dependence within a framework of medical, social and psychological treatment, in adults and adolescents aged 16 years and over.1 Buvidal is available as weekly and monthly formulations in multiple dose options, offering the flexibility to tailor treatment to patients' different individual needs. The product combines fast onset and extended release of buprenorphine, and has been shown to effectively reduce illicit drug use, opioid withdrawal and cravings.2 Buvidal has also been demonstrated to block effects of injected opioids, thereby potentially reducing the risk of relapse and overdose.3

CAM2029 is a novel, once-monthly octreotide depot developed for easy self-administration and enhanced octreotide exposure. The product candidate is under development for the treatment of three rare diseases: acromegaly, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) and polycystic liver disease (PLD). Studies completed to date show that CAM2029 provides about a five-fold increase in octreotide bioavailability compared to currently available long-acting octreotide product, enabling a potentially improved treatment efficacy. In addition, CAM2029 can be conveniently self-administered as a subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled autoinjector pen, while other somatostatin receptor ligands require injections intramuscularly or deep subcutaneously with large needles, generally administered by a trained healthcare professional.14,15 CAM2029 is also ready-to-use and stored in room temperature.
CAM2029 has been evaluated in an extensive clinical program consisting of seven clinical trials, including two Phase 3 studies of CAM2029 in patients with acromegaly within the ACROINNOVA program. The 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study, ACROINNOVA 1, was completed in 2023 with positive topline results on efficacy and safety.16 This was followed by further positive interim and later final, topline data from the 52-week long-term safety and efficacy study, ACROINNOVA 2, which confirmed the safety profile and sustained treatment efficacy with CAM2029, along with improved patient reported treatment satisfaction and quality of life, compared to treatment with standard of care at baseline.17,18
• Approximately 30% of patients in the placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 POSITANO21 study completed the 52-week randomized treatment period and entered into a long-term extension phase
During the period, progress was made in several other of Camurus' research and development (R&D) projects:
Several early-stage development programs were also advanced during the period, including a novel monthly FluidCrystal formulation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist semaglutide.
Semaglutide has been developed and is marketed by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Semaglutide is currently available as injectable formulation for weekly dosing and as a daily oral. An extended-release product for monthly administration could potentially enhance treatment compliance and improve the treatment experience for patients.
During the second quarter, an additional preclinical study of a FluidCrystal monthly depot of semaglutide (CAM2056) was completed. Data from the study showed that CAM2056 was well tolerated, resulting in continued significant dose-dependent weight reduction compared to placebo. Preparations progressed for start of a clinical study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of repeated dosing of CAM2056.
Camurus is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of long-acting medications for treatment of severe and chronic diseases and making innovative medications accessible for patients with high unmet medical needs in areas of CNS, endocrinology, and oncology. In addition, the company is actively pursuing business development and partnering to broaden and deepen its product portfolio and pipeline, diversify the business, and expand globally to leverage sustainable value creation to its stakeholders.
During the period, Camurus continued accelerating pre-commercialization efforts in the US for the planned launch of Oclaiz™ (CAM2029) with scientific advisory boards and filling of key positions in the US commercial organization. Furthermore, the company continued building the compliance framework and started onboarding of new employees.
After a second quarter with accelerated growth and solid profitability, Camurus has further strengthened its financial position and potential to deliver on its strategy and communicated long-range plan.

Camurus AB, corp. ID No. 556667-9105 is the parent company of the Camurus group and has its registered office based in Lund, Sweden, at Ideon Science Park, 223 70 Lund. Camurus AB group's interim report for the second quarter 2024 has been approved for publication by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.
All amounts are stated in SEK thousands (KSEK), unless otherwise indicated. Figures in brackets refer to the year-earlier period.
The consolidated financial statements for the Camurus AB group ("Camurus") have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's Recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for groups, interpretations from IFRS interpretations Committee (IFRS IC), and the Swedish Annual Account Act.
This interim report has been drawn up in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for groups.
The parent company statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The application of RFR 2 means that the parent company in the interim report for the legal entity shall apply all EU-approved IFRS standards and statements as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, the Pension Obligations Vesting Act (Tryggandelagen) and taking into consideration the relationship between accounting and taxation. The parent company's accounting policies are the same as for the group, unless otherwise stated in Note 2.2.
The most important accounting policies that are applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are detailed below and are the same and consistent with those used in the preparation of the Annual Report 2023, see www.camurus.com/investors/financial-reports.
No new or revised IFRS standards, with any material impact on the group, have come into force.
Derivatives are reported in the balance sheet on the transaction day and are valued at fair value, both initially and in subsequent revaluations at the end of each reporting period. The group does not apply hedge accounting and all changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are reported directly in the income statement as Other operating income or Other operating expenses. Derivatives are reported in the balance sheet as Other receivables and Other liabilities.
The parent company applies accounting policies that differ from those of the group in the cases stated below.
All expenses that relate to the development of internally generated intangible assets are recognized as expenses as they arise.
Interests in subsidiaries are reported at cost, less any impairment losses. The cost includes acquisition-related expenses and any additional considerations. When there is an indication that interests in subsidiaries have decreased in value, a calculation is made of the recoverable amount. If this amount is lower than the reported amount, an impairment is carried out. Impairment losses are recognized under the item "Result from interest in group companies".
Group contributions paid by the parent company to subsidiaries and group contributions received from subsidiaries by the parent company are recognized as appropriations.
IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities and is applied with the exceptions that RFR 2 allows, i.e. at amortized cost.
Derivatives with a negative fair value are reported in the balance sheet as Other liabilities and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are reported directly in the income statement on the line Other operating income or Other operating expenses. Derivatives with a positive fair value are reported at the lower of acquisition value and fair value.
Camurus has three Employee Stock Options Programs (ESOP) active for the company´s employees. The programs were adopted by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
The options are granted free of charge and have a term approximately between three and four years from the grant date. Once vested, the options can be exercised during the exercise period provided that the participant is still employed. Each vested option gives the holder the right to acquire one share in Camurus at a pre-defined price corresponding to 125 or 130 percent of the volume-weighted average price for the company's share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the ten trading days immediately following the respective company's AGM in which the program was adopted.
The ESOP 2021/2024 program comprises a maximum of 1,215,500 employee stock options, ESOP 2022/2026 a maximum of 1,000,000 employee stock options and the ESOP 2023/2026 program comprises a maximum of 200,000 employee stock options.
The fair value of the service that entitles to the allotment of options through the program is reported as a personnel cost with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is based on the fair value of the employee stock options granted, including the share target price, and that the employee remains in the company's service during the exercise period. The total cost is reported over the vesting period. At the end of each reporting period, the company reconsiders its assessment of how many options are expected to be exercised and the difference is reported in the income statement and a corresponding adjustment is made in equity. As a basis for allocating social security contributions, a revaluation of fair value is continuously made for the employee stock options earned at the end of each reporting period. Social security contributions are reported as personnel costs and the corresponding provision is made under long- or short-term liabilities depending on the remaining term.
In total 1,157,266 employee options remain outstanding since programs launch, of which 102,000 are granted to the CEO and 159,500 to other senior executives.
Camurus has one Performance Share Program (PSP) active for the company´s employees adopted by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2024.
PSP awards are granted free of charge and have a term of approximately three years from the grant date. The allocation of Performance Shares is subject to the achievement of Performance Conditions relating to (a) absolute compounded Total Shareholder Return (TSR) increase, between the annual general meeting 2024 and the annual general meeting 2027, which is weighted 40 percent, (b) the company's revenue growth, where the revenue (as reported) for the financial year 2023 is compared to the revenue (as reported) for the financial year 2026, which is weighted 30 percent, and (c) pipeline progress during the financial years 2024–2026, which is weighted 30 percent. Dependent on the achievement of the Performance Conditions, the number of Performance Shares allocated to the Participants after expiration of the Vesting Period may amount to between 0 and 120 percent of the PSP Award.
The PSP 2024/2027 program comprises a maximum of 240,000 shares.
The fair value of the service that entitles to the allotment of shares through the program is reported as a personnel cost with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is based on the fair value of granted PSP awards and that the employee remains in the company's service during the exercise period. The total cost is reported over the vesting period. At the end of each reporting period, the company reconsiders its assessment of how many shares are expected to be granted and the difference is reported in the income statement and a corresponding adjustment is made in equity. As a basis for allocating social security contributions, a revaluation of fair value is continuously made for earned PSP awards at the end of each reporting period. Social security contributions are reported as personnel costs and the corresponding provision is made under long- or short-term liabilities depending on the remaining term.
In total 123,850 PSP awards have been allocated since program launch, of which 4,000 to the CEO and 16,600 to other senior executives.
The fair value of the instruments (options and PSP awards) when implementing the programs have been calculated using Black & Scholes' valuation model, which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option and PSP awards, the share price on the allotment date, the expected volatility in the share price and risk-free interest for the option, and company assesment on probability to achieve and level of achievement for Performance Conditions.
For further information about the programs, see the minutes from the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Annual General Meetings published on the company's website, www.camurus.com/investors/ corporategovernance/general-meetings.
Full exercise of allotted employee stock options as of 30 June, 2024 corresponds to a total of 1,281,116 shares and would result in a dilution of shareholders with 2.18 percent, for more information see the below summary.
If decided, but not yet granted, employee performance share awards are fully exercised by further total of 116,150, the total dilution of shareholders would increase to 2.38 percent.

The company management makes estimates and assumptions about the future. Such estimates can deviate considerably from the actual outcome, since they are based on various assumptions and experiences.
The estimates and assumptions that may lead to the risk of significant adjustments to reported amounts for assets and liabilities relate mainly to measurement and allocation of revenues and costs in connection with licensing agreements and deferred tax receivables. Risks in ongoing development projects comprise technical and manufacturing related risks (including products failing to meet set specifications post manufacturing), safety and effect-related risks that can arise in clinical trials, regulatory risks relating to non-approval or delays of clinical trial applications and market approvals, and commercial risks relating to the sale of proprietary and competing products and their development on the market, as well as IP risks relating to approval of patent applications and patent protection. In addition, there are risks relating to the development, strategy and management decisions of Camurus' partners. There is also a risk that differences of opinion will arise between Camurus and its partners or that such partners do not meet their contractual commitments.
Camurus pursues operations and its business on the international market and the company is therefore exposed to currency risks, since revenues and costs arise in different currencies, mainly AUD, EUR, GBP, NOK, SEK, and USD.
The group reports a deferred tax asset of MSEK 195.1 as of 30 June, 2024. The deferred tax asset is calculated on the basis that Camurus AB's entire losses carried forward will be utilized against taxable surpluses in the future. The basic circumstance leading the company to make this assessment is that the company, for the development of new drug candidates, utilizes its own proprietary and regulatory validated long-acting FluidCrystal® injection depot. By combining this technology with already existing active drug substances whose efficacy and safety profile previously has been documented, new proprietary drugs with improved properties and treatment results can be developed in shorter time, at a lower cost and risk compared to the development of completely new drugs.
Accounting for deferred tax assets according to IFRS requires that it is probable that taxable surpluses will be generated in the future which the losses carried forward can be used against. In addition, a company that has reported losses in recent periods must be able to demonstrate convincing factors that taxable profits will be generated. The progress made in the commercialization of CAM2038, including approval by the FDA and US launch, plus the development of CAM2029 at the time the company confirmed its sustainable profitability in 2023 is what convincingly suggests that the company will be able to utilize its losses carried forward.
Future revenues will mainly be generated from Camurus' own sales organization in markets where Camurus has own commercialization capabilities, and through partnerships for markets where Camurus has outlicensed FluidCrystal and/or product candidates or products, such as Buvidal.
Losses carried forward are only reported in Sweden and without any due dates based on current tax legislation in Sweden.
A more detailed description of the group's risk exposure is included in Camurus Annual Report 2023 (The Director's Report).
The Board of Directors has not changed its outlook about future risk and uncertainties development in relation to their outlook published in the Annual Report 2023.
The highest executive decision maker is the function responsible for allocating resources and assessing the operating segments results. In the group this function is identified as the CEO based on the information he manages. As the operations in the group, i.e. the development of pharmaceutical products based on Camurus' technology platform, is organized as an integrated unit, with similar risks and opportunities for the products and services produced, the entire group's business constitutes one operating segment. The operating segment is monitored in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. In the internal reporting to the CEO, only one segment is used.

Revenues during the quarter of approximately MSEK 122.4 (368.6) relate to one single external customer.
99.9 (99.8) percent of the group's fixed assets are located in Sweden.
Earnings per share before dilution is calculated by dividing the result attributable to shareholders of the parent company by a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. During the period, 240,000 shares have been repurchased and are held as treasury shares by the parent company.
In order to calculate earnings per share after dilution, the number of existing ordinary shares is adjusted for the dilutive effect of the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares. The parent company has one category of ordinary shares with anticipated dilution effect in the form of employee stock options and performance share awards. For this category, a calculation is made of the number of shares that could have been purchased at fair value (calculated as the average market price for the year for the parent company's shares), at an amount corresponding to the monetary value of the subscription rights linked to outstanding warrants and options. The number of shares calculated as above are compared to the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the employee stock options are exercised.

All of the group's financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost are short-term and expire within one year. The fair value of these instruments is deemed to correspond to their reported amounts, since discounting effects are minimal.
Financial assets and liabilities in the group that are reported at fair value consist of derivatives (currency futures). All derivatives are included in level 2 when valuing at fair value, which means that fair value is determined using valuation techniques that are based on market information as much as possible, while company-specific information is used as little as possible. All significant input data required for the fair value measurement of an instrument is observable. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined as the present value of future cash flows based on exchange rates for forward exchange contracts on the balance sheet date.

Tax for the quarter amounted to MSEK -29.9 (-79.2), attributable to the positive result in the period.
The change in equity during the quarter is mainly attributable to the result during the period, the first window of program ESOP 2021/2024, which led to the issuance of 675,300 shares, and the hedging of related social security cost for that program.
