Strengthened financial position and ability to successfully deliver on our long-term strategy
Camurus had a productive first quarter with increased revenues, improved results, and progress in our development portfolio. Sales of Brixadi® in the US grew strongly and royalty revenues from Braeburn tripled compared to the previous quarter. The New Drug Application (NDA) for Oclaiz™ (CAM2029) for acromegaly was accepted for review by the US FDA with a target approval (PDUFA) date of 21 October this year. Furthermore, we completed recruitment in the POSITANO study of CAM2029 in patients with polycystic liver disease. In the early project portfolio, promising results were obtained for a new monthly depot of semaglutide heading into clinical development.
Compared to the corresponding period last year, total revenues in the first quarter increased by 37 percent to SEK 390 (284) million, in the midpoint of market guidance, driven by sales of Buvidal® and growing royalty revenues from Brixadi in the US. Operating expenses increased by 57 percent to SEK 289 (184) million, of which SEK 180 (99) million represented investments in research and development (R&D). Despite the increased R&D costs of just over SEK 80 million, profit before tax during the period increased to SEK 97 (77) million.
Cash position at the end of the first quarter was SEK 2.3 (0.6) billion, an increase of SEK 1.7 billion compared to the same quarter in 2023, including proceeds from a directed share issue of just over SEK 1 billion successfully performed in January. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 139 million. Hence, we have further strengthened Camurus' financial position and ability to
successfully deliver on our long-term strategy and bring new innovative medicines to market, expand operations in the US, and acquire or license complementary products and product candidates.
Through the development of Buvidal and Brixadi weekly and monthly buprenorphine depots, Camurus has established a strong position in the treatment of opioid dependence with sales on four continents. Buvidal product sales during the first quarter amounted to SEK 364 (282) million, corresponding to an increase of 29 percent compared to the same quarter in 2023 (30 percent at CER).
After a strong finish to 2023, a soft start was noted in January and February followed by a recovery in March. This was mainly due to seasonal variation in inventory levels in Australia, the UK, and Germany, delays in the availability of funding for healthcare providers in the UK and negative currency effects. In countries such as Sweden and Finland, growth remained stable. At constant exchange rates, sales of Buvidal increased by 3 percent compared to the fourth quarter, while in-market sales grew by about 5 percent. At the end of the quarter, more than 50,000 patients were estimated to be in treatment with Buvidal. Our efforts to increase access to treatment for patients with opioid dependence continued, resulting in a new price and reimbursement approval for Buvidal in Ireland, widening access to all key treatment clinics.
In the US, sales of Brixadi* accelerated during the quarter. Royalty revenues from our licensee Braeburn increased from SEK 8 to 26 million, corresponding to a substantial increase in net sales compared to the previous quarter. Based on prescribing data, more than 7,0001 patients were estimated to be on treatment with Brixadi six months after launch, and an already strong payor support has continued to improve in the quarter. The excellent market performance reflects the strong launch execution by Braeburn, competitive profile of Brixadi, and a high unmet medical need exacerbated by the ongoing US opioid and fentanyl crisis. In this regard, we look forward to upcoming data on the use of Brixadi/Buvidal in opioid use disorder patients who used fentanyl.
In the US, sales of Brixadi accelerated during the quarter
* Brixadi® is the US brand name for Camurus' product Buvidal® ** Oclaiz™ is the US brand name for CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly In addition to commercial successes, investigator-initiated clinical studies of Buvidal and Brixadi are ongoing in various treatment settings and patient populations around the world. Results from several of the studies are expected throughout the coming year and will contribute to the growing evidence base for this treatment. Several new scientific publications on Buvidal and Brixadi were published during the quarter2-8 and additional key publications are expected near-term.
We look forward to Buvidal/Brixadi being established as the leading long-acting treatment for opioid dependence, globally, already this year.
During the first quarter, important progress was made in our ongoing development programs for CAM2029, octreotide subcutaneous depot, for the treatment of acromegaly, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) and polycystic liver disease (PLD):
In the acromegaly program, the FDA announced that the NDA application for Oclaiz™** had been accepted for review with PDUFA date 21 October this year. The review is underway and we look forward to working closely with the Agency during the continued process. In parallel, we have submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) after discussing and aligning with EMA representatives on key submission topics.
On the clinical side, the last patient received treatment in the main part of ACROINNOVA 2, and remaining patients are now in the extension period. Having previously announced positive interim results from ACROINNOVA 2, we look forward to updated results for the complete study population towards the end of the second quarter of this year.
Several abstracts with key results from the ACROINNOVA 1 & 2 studies have been accepted for presentation (oral or poster) at the leading endocrinology conferences during the spring, including
AACE in New Orleans, ECE in Stockholm and ENDO in Boston. Camurus will also be present at these meetings with our medical affairs and commercial teams and at ECE we are also organizing a satellite symposium.
In the GEP-NET program, treatment of patients progressed in our pivotal Phase 3 study, SORENTO. In the study, 332 patients with unresectable metastatic GEP-NET are randomized to treatment with CAM2029 or current standard treatment with lanreotide ATG or octreotide LAR. The primary endpoint is increased progression-free survival in patients treated with CAM2029 compared to those receiving current standard treatment. The main results from SORENTO will be assessed after 194 events of disease progression or death and topline results are currently estimated to come in the first half of 2025.
In the PLD program, patient recruitment was completed in the randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 study, POSITANO, of CAM2029 in patients with PLD. The study's primary outcome measures are decreased liver volume and patient-reported disease symptoms. Overall results are expected in the first half of 2025.
We advanced several early projects during the quarter. One such program is a monthly FluidCrystal® formulation of the glucagonlike peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist semaglutide, which is
developed and marketed by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Semaglutide is available as a solution for weekly dosing or daily oral administration. A subcutaneous formulation for monthly administration could potentially improve convenience and treatment compliance, simplify titration, and enhance the treatment experience of patients.
During the quarter we received positive data from preclinical assessments of monthly FluidCrystal semaglutide formulations, which met the target product profile for pharmacokinetics and tolerability. The next steps include the preparation and initiation of a clinical study to evaluate pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of FluidCrystal semaglutide in an escalated, single and repeated dose Phase 1 study in healthy study participants. In parallel, we have progressed additional product candidates, including GLP-1 analogues, with positive initial results that warrant further development and evaluation, including potentially clinical investigations.
At the start of the quarter, Camurus was moved to the Large Cap segment on Nasdaq Stockholm – a confirmation of our performance since our listing in 2015. In this context, we would like to take the opportunity to thank outgoing Board members Kerstin Valinder Strinnholm, Ole Vahlgren and Behshad Sheldon for their significant contributions during their years as members of Camurus' Board of
Directors. Behshad Sheldon has now assumed the role as President of Camurus Inc. with responsibility for the US organization and preparations for the planned launch of Oclaiz™. Several key positions in Camurus Inc. have now been onboarded and during the period we have signed for our US office, located at the Carnegie Center, Princeton, NJ.
In the area of sustainability, our Sustainability Report 2023 was published at the end of March. The report is partially aligned with the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which Camurus is to fully comply with starting 2025. We have also updated our materiality analysis, conducted a climate-scenario analysis, and presented our long-term goals and action plan for renewable energy and transition to climate neutrality by 2045. Furthermore, we conducted a project aimed at improving access to innovative medical treatments for individuals in particularly vulnerable groups, such as women with opioid dependence.
Camurus had a promising start to 2024 with increased profitability, strong operational performance and continued progress in our development programs. The financial outlook for the full year 2024 is reiterated with revenues of SEK 1,740 – 1,860 million and a profit before tax of SEK 330 – 450 million.
We look ahead to another successful year for Camurus as we grow our revenues, strengthen our commercial platform, prepare for launch of Oclaiz™ in the US, develop new partnerships, and continue advancing our innovative therapeutic candidates for the benefit of patients with severe and chronic disease conditions.
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

Additionally, clinical studies and real-world experience have showed improved patient-reported outcomes, including higher treatment satisfaction, reduced treatment burden, and improved quality of life during treatment with Buvidal compared to standard treatment with daily sublingual buprenorphine.2,4,5 Since Buvidal is administered by healthcare professionals only, the risk for misuse and diversion is significantly reduced compared to products that have to be taken daily by patients.1

• Four national market authorization applications under review in Europe and the Middle East and North Africa region

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 (or prefilled syringe with safety device), while other somatostatin receptor ligands require injections intramuscularly or deep subcutaneously with large needles, generally administered by a trained healthcare professional.13,14 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. A 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study, ACROINNOVA 1, was completed, and positive topline results on efficacy and safety were announced in June 2023.15 This was followed by further positive interim data from a 52-week long-term safety and efficacy study, ACROINNOVA 2, which confirmed a favorable 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.16
• Patient recruitment in the randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 POSITANO study19 of CAM2029 in patients with PLD completed during the quarter. A total of 71 patients (target 69) were randomized 1:1:1 to two dose groups of CAM2029 or placebo.
During the period, progress was made in several other of Camurus' research and development (R&D) projects, both in late and early-stage projects:
CAM4072 is a weekly formulation of the MC-4 agonist setmelanotide, developed by Camurus' licensee Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, for the treatment of different rare genetic disorders of obesity. The product candidate is based on the FluidCrystal technology and is designed to offer patients an easy and more convenient treatment with the potential of improved treatment compliance. Last year, Rhythm completed a randomized Phase 3 switch study of the weekly and the approved daily setmelanotide formulation in patients with Bardet-Biedl's syndrome (BBS) and other rare obesity disorders (NCT05194124).20 Key results from the study were recently communicated to Camurus by Rhythm. The data showed that the CAM4072 pharmacokinetic profile was supportive of once-weekly dosing, with similar efficacy (BMI reduction) and safety profile as the currently approved daily setmelanotide formulation. In the same time frame, however, Rhythm informed Camurus that the weekly setmelanotide program and the planned additional Phase 3 study in treatment naïve patients had been paused, as the company prioritized plans to advance a new MC-4 agonist (RM-718) into clinical development.
CAM4071 is a novel, long-acting formulation of pasireotide developed for convenient self-administration by patients. The drug substance pasireotide is a second-generation somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL) approved for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome and acromegaly and is available as a daily subcutaneous injection or a monthly intramuscular injection. CAM4071 has been evaluated by Camurus in an open-label, active controlled, dose escalating
Phase 1 study, assessing pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of CAM4071 in healthy volunteers. Results from the study showing dose-related, long-acting pasireotide release and pharmacodynamic effects on IGF-1, along with safety and tolerability data, were published in the scientific journal, Endocrine.21
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, which 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 extendedrelease product for monthly administration could potentially enhance treatment compliance and improve the treatment experience for patients. During the quarter, Camurus evaluated the performance of novel FluidCrystal semaglutide formulations in preclinical studies. The target profile for a monthly product was met with regards to pharmacokinetics and tolerability. Next steps include the preparation and initiation of a clinical study to evaluate the lead formulation in a Phase 1 study.
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 accelerated the pre-commercialization efforts in the US for the planned launch of Oclaiz™ (CAM2029) and filled key positions in the emerging US commercial organization. The company also continued building the compliance framework, conducted in-depth market and payor research, held advisory boards and prepared for onboarding of new employees.
Following two profitable years and the completion of a successful directed share issue, Camurus has significantly strengthened the financial position and is well placed 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 first 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 1,844,066 employee options have been granted since programs launch, of which 102,000 to the CEO and 351,500 to other senior executives.
The fair value of the options when implementing the program have been calculated using Black & Scholes' valuation model, which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price on the allotment date and the expected volatility in the share price and risk-free interest for the option.
For further information about the programs, see the minutes from the 2021, 2022, and 2023 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 31 March, 2024 corresponds to a total of 1,844,066 shares and would result in a dilution of shareholders with 3.20 percent, for more information see the below summary.
If decided, but not yet granted employee stock options are fully exercised, a further total of 180,000, the total dilution of shareholders would increase to 3.51 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 217.1 as of 31 March, 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 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.

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, no shares held as treasury shares by the parent company have been repurchased.
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. 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.
