"Camurus´ positive development continued in our different business areas and key markets"
Camurus finished the year with an excellent fourth quarter with significant growth and pipeline progress. In the US, sales of Brixadi started to take off after the launch in September, driven by a large unmet medical need for the treatment of opioid use disorder. We completed and submitted a New Drug Application to the US FDA for Oclaiz™ (CAM2029) for the treatment of acromegaly and finalized patient recruitment in the SORENTO study of CAM2029 in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. After the period, Camurus executed a directed share issue of SEK 1.1 billion to further strengthen our growth through business development and expanded launch preparations.
During the fourth quarter Camurus' positive development continued in our different business areas and key markets. Total revenues increased by 40 percent to SEK 375 million in the quarter, mainly driven by Buvidal® product sales and a high unmet medical need in the treatment of opioid dependence. Operating expenses increased by 67 percent to SEK 371 million in the quarter, primarily due to progress of our Phase 3 programs and completion of patient recruitment in the SORENTO study, the establishment of our US commercial organization, and accrued social security costs for employee long term incentive programs of 51 million SEK relating to the strong performance of the Camurus share during the period (+73 percent). Operating result for the fourth quarter was SEK -29 million, and cash flow, which was not affected by the social security cost accrual, was SEK 36 million.
For the full year, total revenues increased by 80 percent to SEK 1,717 million – at the high end of the range of our full-year 2023 outlook raised in October. This includes one-time milestone payments of SEK 406 million related to the Brixadi approval. Operating expenses increased by 36 percent to SEK 1,070 million, of which SEK 638 million (64 percent) represents investments in our development pipeline of innovative drug candidates. Operating result for the full year was SEK 526 million, corresponding to an operating margin of 31 percent. Profit before taxes was SEK 549 million. Camurus' cash position at the end of the year was SEK 1 190 million, which represents an increase of SEK 624 million compared to last year.
At the beginning of 2024, our financial position was further strengthened through a successful directed share issue with gross proceeds of SEK 1 090 million. The issue was performed to expand Camurus' ability to diversify the product portfolio through potential acquisitions of commercial products or late-stage development candidates that are complementary to our current products and pipeline. Additionally, the financing will support the advancement of the commercial preparations for CAM2029 in neuroendocrine tumors and polycystic liver disease in the US, and globally, as well
as strengthen our manufacturing capabilities and secure a sustainable supply of future products. The directed share issue was conducted with strong support of new high-quality, international, specialist investors and existing shareholders.
People with opioid dependence are a vulnerable and stigmatized population with significant medical needs. Providing access to innovative, evidence-based treatments that can improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for people with substance use disorders is a high priority for Camurus. Through the development of Buvidal and Brixadi, weekly and monthly buprenorphine depots, Camurus has established a leading position within long-acting treatment of opioid dependence with global reach.
During the quarter, Buvidal net product sales increased by 37 percent to SEK 366 million, an increase of 6 percent compared to the previous quarter (7 percent at constant exchange rate). For the full year, net product sales of Buvidal were SEK 1 299 million, increasing 39 percent compared to 2022. We continue to see strong sales performance in key markets such as the UK, Australia and the Nordics, together with other markets such as Germany, Spain and France, growing from a lower base. The use of Buvidal has continued to increase across community and criminal justice settings, and experiences with Buvidal highlights stable efficacy, high retention, treatment satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. In addition, Buvidal received regulatory approval in Kuwait and Buvidal 160 mg was approved in New Zealand. At the end of the quarter, about 48,000 patients were estimated to receive treatment with Buvidal.
**Oclaiz™ is the trade name for CAM2029 in acromegaly in the US
Brixadi was launched in the US on 5 September 2023 for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) by our licensee Braeburn. The Brixadi launch gained momentum in the fourth quarter as evidenced by the growing royalty income of SEK 8.3 million to Camurus.
The positive start is a result of the strong product profile of Brixadi, a high medical need in the US, and Braeburn's launch strategy and execution. The messaging about Brixadi is resonating with US healthcare professionals and highlighting its' unique product advantages. Braeburn's market access team has achieved a wide payor coverage, which only four months into the launch is on par with another long-acting product in the segment. To provide quick and reliable access to Brixadi for patients and prescribers, a dedicated network of specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors has been established. Braeburn has a targeted approach to the launch and has identified and segmented treatment providers based on the probability that Brixadi reaches patients who benefit from the treatment early in the launch process. This has resulted in a significant uptake, enabling more patients to receive treatment for their OUD. Based on the positive start, Braeburn is optimistic that Brixadi will achieve peak year sales well over USD 1 billion. This corresponds to a market share below the one Buvidal today holds in most markets in the EU and Australia. We look forward to working with Braeburn to maximize the availability of Brixadi for patients who suffer the devastating effects of opioid use disorder.
In the quarter, we continued to grow the evidence base for Buvidal and Brixadi with several new supportive publications accepted and published during the period.1-4 In addition, several investigator-led clinical studies of Buvidal and Brixadi are ongoing in different treatment settings and may provide further support for the use in for example emergency care after overdose events and within the correctional justice system in the US.
CAM2029, octreotide subcutaneous depot, is being developed for the treatment of three rare diseases: acromegaly, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET), and polycystic liver disease (PLD). 302 patients. We are deeply grateful to the study participants and *Brixadi™ is the US trade name for Camurus' product Buvidal®
Acromegaly. Following pre-NDA meetings with the US FDA, the new drug application (NDA) forCAM2029 in acromegaly was finalized and submitted to the FDA on 21 December 2023. A response from the FDA with a target date for approval decision (PDUFA) is expected shortly.
The NDA is based on results from a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 3 study (ACRO-INNOVA 1) of patients with acromegaly switched to CAM2029 or placebo from a stable dose of standard treatment with octreotide or lanreotide. The NDA is further supported by interim results from a 52-week, open-label Phase 3 study (ACROINNOVA 2) of longterm safety and treatment efficacy with CAM2029 in patients with acromegaly, as well as one Phase 2 study and four Phase 1 studies.
The results from the ACROINNOVA program suggest that CAM2029, if approved, can be a significant new treatment option for patients with acromegaly that contributes to effective control of both the disease marker insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and acromegaly symptoms. In addition, the studies indicated that patients experienced increased treatment satisfaction and quality of life after switching from current standard treatment to CAM2029. The safety profile of CAM2029 was comparable to that of approved first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands for intramuscular or deep subcutaneous injection, with no new or unexpected observations.
GEP-NET. Patient recruitment in the Phase 3 SORENTO study was completed during the quarter. A strong interest in the study resulted in rapid patient enrollment and the number of randomized study participants reached 332, exceeding the target of
clinical investigators for their important contributions to SORENTO, which involves nearly 100 clinical centers in 12 countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia and is the largest randomized, controlled trial of its kind in GEP-NET.5
The study is designed to demonstrate statistically significant increased progression-free survival of patients with unresectable, metastatic GEP-NET in treatment with CAM2029 compared to current standard of care. The main results from SORENTO will be analyzed when 194 events of disease progression or death have been documented in the study. In addition to assessment of improved efficacy including tumor control and overall survival, other measures being evaluated include self-administration, treatment satisfaction and various quality of life measures.
Based on current information, interim results from SORENTO are expected towards the end of 2024 or in the first half of 2025.
PLD. Patient recruitment in the randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 POSITANO study, progressed during the quarter and was finalized after the end of the year after 71 patients had been enrolled. The study's primary outcome measure is reduced liver volume followed by patient-reported disease symptoms. Overall results are expected in the first half of 2025.
Preparations for the launch of Oclaiz™. The market potential for CAM2029 is estimated to exceed USD 2 billion across the three indications for which the drug candidate is being developed. During the quarter, the process continued to establish our own commercial organization in the US and prepare for a planned NDA approval of Oclaiz™ for the treatment of acromegaly in the
US towards the end of 2024. Our activities have been focused on medical affairs, market access and designing the distribution model and been performed within the framework of our ongoing collaboration with our external US commercial advisors and consultants. In parallel, we have worked on the organizational development and getting Camurus Inc. fully operational and ready for then planned launch of Oclaiz™ in the US.
During the year, we have invested more than SEK 600 million in research and development and have deepened and broadened our development pipeline. We also made significant progress in early programs focused on endocrinology, metabolism, and CNS, as well as with life cycle management activities for Buvidal. Based on these developments, we anticipate starting at least one new clinical program in 2024 targeting disease areas with significant unmet patient needs and market potential. Together with the anticipated CAM2029 catalysts and our improved finances, we continue expanding our opportunities to develop innovative medicines that can contribute to improved lives of patients with serious and chronic diseases. During the period Camurus signed an option to license agreement for a novel compound for potential application for the treatment of serious substance abuse and other CNS indications.
Furthermore, we continued to progress our sustainability work to reduce Camurus' environmental footprint, further mitigate risks in our supply chains, and ensure a nice and safe working environment for our employees and partners. Notably, during the quarter, Camurus sustainability ratings by the independent research organization Sustainalytics were improved two levels to a risk level below the average of our peers in the pharmaceutical industry.
Camurus finished 2023 with a strong and productive fourth quarter with revenues at the high end of our raised financial guidance from October. We significantly progressed the development pipeline, and the establishment of an own organization in the US ahead of an expected approval of Oclaiz™ in the US in Q4 2024. Our US operations will be headed by Behshad Sheldon, well known to us through her significant contributions as part of Camurus' Board of Directors and experience from leading roles in the pharmaceutical industry during her time at BMS, Otsuka, Braeburn and most recently at Biotech Value Advisors. In these roles, Behshad has successfully led the commercialization of several market-transforming drugs with billion-dollar sales in the US and internationally. I am delighted that Behshad has accepted the role as President of Camurus Inc., based out of Princeton, New Jersey, and we look forward to a successful launch of our US business. Behshad will also join the Executive Management Team and will be leaving Camurus' Board of Directors after the Annual General Meeting in May.
The financial outlook for the full year 2024 points to significant revenue growth of 33-42 percent, excluding one-time items in 2023. Investments in research and development are expected at a similar level as in 2023 while the investment in the US organization and preparing for launch of Oclaiz™ are anticipated to increase to about SEK 300 million in 2024. Despite investments of around SEK 900 million in development projects and the US establishment, Camurus is expected to deliver a strong result before tax of SEK 330 to 450 million in 2024.
In summary, we made excellent progress during the fourth quarter and remain on track for the vision for 2027 with further opportunities in the early pipeline and through business development. The continued success is the result of strong performance and contributions of highly engaged employees and partners, with support of shareholders, healthcare professionals, and not the least our patients, who make our work so meaningful.
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. Buvidal provides fast onset and a long-acting release of buprenorphine, and has shown to effectively reduce illicit drug use, 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 Clinical studies and real-world experience have demonstrated significant improved patient-reported outcomes, including higher treatment satisfaction, reduced treatment burden, and improved quality of life for patients with Buvidal compared to standard treatment with daily sublingual buprenorphine.2,4,5 Furthermore, since Buvidal is administrated by healthcare professionals only, the risk for misuse and leakage is reduced compared to products that have to be taken daily.1

LIFE-CYCLE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Camurus is undertaking life-cycle management programs to expand the application of Buvidal to medical needs of patients with opioid dependence. This work includes label expansion initiatives and new formulations,

CAM2029 is a novel subcutaneous octreotide depot under development for the treatment of three rare diseases: acromegaly, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) and polycystic liver disease (PLD). Studies completed to date demonstrate that CAM2029 provides a five-fold increase of plasma exposure, with the potential for improved efficacy, compared to current standard treatments. CAM2029 is designed to enable convenient subcutaneous self-administration, using a pre-filled syringe with safety device or state-of-the-art pre-filled pen, while current standard treatments are administrated intramuscularly or deep subcutaneously with large needles, require complex handling in several steps, including reconstitution and/or conditioning, and generally are administrated by a trained healthcare professional.11,12

• Patient recruitment in the randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 POSITANO15 study of CAM2029 in patients with polycystic liver disease (PLD) progressed during the quarter. Recruitment is now completed with 71 randomized patients (target 69).
CAM4072 is a weekly formulation of the MC-4 agonist setmelanotide, developed by Camurus' partner Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, for the treatment of a range of rare genetic disorders of obesity. The product candidate is based on Camurus' FluidCrystal injection depot technology and is being developed to offer patients a simpler and more convenient dosing regimen with the possibility of improved treatment adherence.
Camurus' is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of long-acting medications for treatment of severe and chronic disease and making innovative medications accessible for patients with high unmet medical needs in areas of CNS, rare disease 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.
The build-up of an own US organization progressed during the quarter and became fully operational on 1 January 2024. In parallel, Camurus advanced the company's pre-commercialization efforts in the US for the planned launch of Oclaiz™ (CAM2029) in collaboration with commercial advisors. Key activities have centered around the distribution model, the compliance framework, medical affairs team, market and payor research, organization structure, and preparing for onboarding of new employees in 2024.
Camurus finished the quarter and year with a strong financial position after excellent operational performance and is well positioned for continued sustainable growth.

Camurus' commitment to improve the lives of patients has a clear sustainability perspective. Based on the company's ambition to contribute to a healthier world, the work includes several dimensions in the ESG area. Camurus' sustainability strategy and work is divided into four focus areas with established ambitions, goals, key figures and activities and aims to contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

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 fourth quarter and full year 2023 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, 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 2022, 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 1,847,566 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 December, 2023 corresponds to a total of 1,847,566 shares and would result in a dilution of shareholders with 3.32 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 3.65 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 219.9 as of 31 December, 2023. 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 reached its first profitable year in 2022 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 2022 (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 2022.
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.
To follow is a breakdown of revenues from all products and services.

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.
