PATENT PROTECTION FINANCIAL CEO'S LETTER INFORMATION

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

INFORMATION

CEO's letter

Dear shareholders

We are moving towards the important launch of Xbrane's first drug candidate, XlucaneTM for the treatment of eye diseases. Like other product candidates in our portfolio, this is a biosimilar, i.e. a biological drug that has existing pharmaceuticals on the market as a reference and can start to be sold when the patents for this has expired. We therefore offer cost-effective treatment options for a wider target group.

During the spring, we focused on answering outstanding questions from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the marketing authorization approval of XlucaneTM, as well as preparing commercial manufacturing for the planned start of sales of the product in Q1 2023.

Xlucane™ planned launch in Europe and the US

The marketing authorization application for XlucaneTM in Europe was sent to the EMA in September 2021. The questions that, in accordance with the process, came back after 120 days, were answered in April, and the questions that came after 180 days, were received at the end of June. These will be answered in the shortest possible time and will be submitted in August according to the EMA's schedule. We expect the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) to deliver its opinion in September, leading to the EU Commission's decision about market approval in November. However, production can start during the summer, after the relevant patents for the reference medicine have expired. A market launch of XlucaneTM in Europe is expected in Q1 2023.

In the US, we applied for marketing authorization from the FDA in March, but the application was withdrawn in May after the FDA requested additional information. After the end of the quarter, we received a letter from the FDA with comments and recommendations for resubmitting the application, which is planned for the second half of 2022. The application, if validated, can therefore lead to market authorization, and launch in the US in 2023.

Xbrane is working closely with its commercialization partners STADA and Bausch + Lomb ahead of the launch of XlucaneTM.

Meeting a great need for treatment

XlucaneTM targets the market for VEGFa inhibitors for ophthalmic use, which had global sales of approximately SEK 119 bn in 2021, with an annual growth of around 9% over the past five years. The strong growth is driven by an aging population and thus an increase in the serious eye diseases that VEGFa inhibitors are used against, mainly age-related macular degeneration, and that more people have the opportunity for treatment. Xbrane estimates that a large proportion of those affected at a global level are still not treated, mainly due to the high costs of original medicines in combination with noncomprehensive subsidies in some parts of the world. We therefore see great opportunities for patients, doctors, payees and for ourselves together with our partners, to soon be able to offer a more cost-effective treatment alternative with XlucaneTM.

Biosimilar portfolio

Work on the biosimilar portfolio is continuing and preparations for upscaling to a commercial scale for the manufacture of clinical materials are underway in close collaboration with Biogen regarding BIIB801 (biosimilar candidate to Cimzia®). For XdivaneTM, process development is continuing as is the effort to find a partner on the manufacturing side. We now have five approved patents for DNA constructs for XdivaneTM, which are used to achieve as high productivity as possible and the lowest production costs. In terms of development, the program is about 1.5 years behind BIIB801 and we are in a dialogue with potential commercialization partners. We also have XdarzaneTM and XtrudaneTM, where cell line development is underway with the same patented technology used for XdivaneTM.

Key milestones for the next 12 months

To summarize, we are in a very exciting position with an imminent launch of XlucaneTM in Europe. Some of the most important milestones we look forward to reaching over the next 12 months are to:

  • Obtain marketing authorization and launch Xlucane™ in Europe in the first quarter of 2023
  • Submit a marketing authorization application for XlucaneTM in the US during 2022
  • Sign further partnership agreements for the sales and marketing of Xlucane™
  • Scale up the production process and prepare clinical studies with our partner Biogen for BIIB801
  • Complete the development of the production process for XdivaneTM, one of our products in the oncology portfolio.

2022 is an important year for us and we have a strong belief that we will be able to fulfill our plans and take an important step in becoming a world leader as a biosimilar developer through the market launches we plan in 2023, together with our partners.

Thank you for your continued support.

FIRST PAGE CEO'S LETTER PATENT PROTECTION FINANCIAL PRODUCT CANDIDATE INFORMATION

Product candidate portfolio

Xbrane has a portfolio of five product candidates in active development for a range of treatment areas. This includes a number of serious eye diseases, several different types of cancer and, among others, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease. Of the candidates, XlucaneTM is the closest to marketing authorization.

Xlucane™

Xlucane™ is a biosimilar candidate to ranibizumab (original drug Lucentis®), known as a VEGFa-inhibitor, and it is used to treat a number of serious eye diseases: wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

The VEGFa inhibitors market saw sales of over SEK 119bn1,2,3) in 2021 and grew by 14% in 20211,2,3).

In April 2019, Xbrane initiated the pivotal phase III study Xplore, a randomized, double-blind multicenter study evaluating the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of Xlucane™ in patients with age-related macular degeneration compared to Lucentis®. The primary endpoint in the study is a change in BCVA (Best Corrected Visual Acuity) at week eight. Patients were randomized (1:1) and received monthly injections of Xlucane™ into the eye, or the reference product Lucentis® for one year. The study, which was conducted in 15 countries at around 140 clinics, was fully recruited with 583 patients in November 2020, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

XlucaneTM met the primary endpoint in Xplore and demonstrated equivalent efficacy measured in vision improvement at week eight after initiation of treatment with the reference product Lucentis®. No clinically meaningful differences between Xlucane™ and Lucentis® could be observed on secondary efficacy and safety measures.

Xbrane has a collaboration agreement with STADA Arzneimittel AG (STADA) for the development, sales and marketing of Xlucane™ in Europe and a number of markets in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific region. In 2020, Xbrane and STADA signed an agreement with Bausch + Lomb, which will commercialize Xlucane™ in North America.

STADA submitted a marketing authorization application to EMA in September 2021.

BIIB801

BIIB801 is a biosimilar candidate to certolizumab pegol (original drug Cimzia®), a so-called TNF-alpha inhibitor particularly used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis arthritis. The TNF-alpha inhibitor market saw sales of about SEK 365bn4) in 2021 and Cimzia® saw sales of SEK 19bn5) in 2021.The patent protection of Cimzia® is to expire in 2024 in the US and 2025 in Europe.

BIIB801is undergoing preclinical development and a cost-effective production process has been established. As the next step in manufacturing and upscaling, an agreement has been signed with AGC Biologics Inc for the manufacture of BIIB801 for future clinical studies. Xbrane has signed a development and commercialization agreement with Biogen in which Biogen obtains global rights to the product.

The agreement means that Biogen makes an up-front payment of USD 8 m and an additional USD 80 m in development and sales-based payments as well as royalties on sales.

Xdivane™

XdivaneTM is a biosimilar candidate to nivolumab (original drug Opdivo®), a PD-1 inhibitor for the treatment of different types of cancer with a turnover of around SEK 68bn6) in 2021.

Opdivo® is expected to lose its patent protection between 2026 and 2031, depending on the country. XdivaneTM is at the preclinical development stage, with a focus on developing a cost-effective production process and demonstrating a biochemical similarity to the original drug. Then, upscaling with a production partner will follow, after which the product can be taken into clinical trials.

PATENT PROTECTION INFORMATION

FINANCIAL INFORMATION FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Patent protection

An expanding patent portfolio provides opportunities to enter into strategic partnerships and strengthens the Xbrane brand. The most important regions for the protection of intellectual property (IP) are Europe and the US, but applications may also be made in other countries.

As Xbrane is an innovative company that invests significantly in R&D, our goal is to file strategically important patent applications to protect its core technologies and products.

Expanding patent portfolio

The expanding patent portfolio will facilitate the implementation of our business strategies, such as licensing and strategic business partnerships or alliances to commercialize biosimilars and biosimilar production platforms.

Xbrane plans to file patent applications that protect a wide range of technologies, from protein production and purification to novel formulations of biosimilars.

The most important regions for patents are Europe and the US, but patent applications may also be filed in Canada, China, South Korea, India, Japan and Australia if our products and methods have a market there. We are also applying for international patents to have further strategic alternatives in a large number of countries.

Xbrane's LEMO™ platform technology is patent protected in Europe and the US until 2029. In 2020 and the first quarter in 2022, the two patents which were filed in 2009 were complemented with a total of 24 pending patent applications "harvested" from five different development programs. Eleven of these patent applications were filed in 2020 and four of them were followed up in 2021 with international patent applications which provide provisional protection in 153 countries. During

Q1 2022, another patent application based on XlucaneTM was submitted together with our partner STADA.

Strengthen the Xbrane brand

The Swedish Intellectual Property Office (PRV) granted eight patents in 2021. Three relate to DNA constructs for the regulation of protein production and were co-filed with CloneOpt AB. Five of the patents resulted from the development of XdivaneTM and form the foundation for the emerging high-yield expression platform in mammalian cells upon which Xbrane will base much of its upcoming development of biosimilar candidates.

The patent applications protect certain novel sequences in the gene construct introduced in the host cells, instructing them to express the target protein. These DNA sequences have resulted in a significant increase in yield and can be applied for future biosimilar candidates expressed in mammalian cells. The rest of the patent applications relate primarily to DNA constructs, host cells and/or methods of producing XlucaneTM (2 patent applications) and BIIB801 (8 patent applications).

The patent applications for the protection of XlucaneTM have been co-filed with STADA.

The expanding patent portfolio will strengthen Xbrane's brand, protect our own and our partners' products and enable more outlicensing of IP in the future.

PORTFOLIO

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Financial overview

The Group's results for April – June 2022

The Group's revenue amounted to SEK 15.6 m (2.5) and consisted partly of income from the out-licensing of the American and Canadian rights for Xlucane™, to Bausch + Lomb and the agreement signed with Biogen regarding BIIB801. The agreement with Biogen was entered into during Q1 2022. Revenues attributable to the agreements are accrued until May 2022 and June 2023, respectively. Similar agreements were classified as "other income" in previous periods but have since January 1, 2022, been classified as "revenue" which is considered to reflect the business more accurately. Previous periods have therefore been reclassified, which means that comparative figures are no longer in line with previous reports. See also Note 1 for further information regarding the reclassification.

The cost of goods sold amounted to SEK 0.0 m (0.0). Other operating income amounted to SEK 11.4 m (0.4)

and consisted mainly of exchange rate gains on operating receivables and liabilities as well as license income from sources other than the core business itself.

Research and development costs amounted to SEK –52.9 m (–49.9) and mainly relate to Xlucane™, where the main cost-drivers are the regulatory work and establishing a supply chain for Xlucane™. Additional factors are the continuing work on BIIB801 which has intensified and the work on developing new biosimilars. From July 1, 2021, all development costs for Xlucane™ have been recognized as intangible fixed assets in the balance sheet and amounted to SEK 5.7 m (0.0) for the period. The gross effect of research and development costs for the period was SEK –58.6 m (–49.9). The capitalization of development costs also affects the comparative figures for research and development costs, which decreased compared with previous periods. No retroactive capitalization has been made regarding research and development costs that arose before July 1, 2021.

Administrative expenses amounted to SEK –6.1 m (–8.6), and the decrease is due to the change of premises during the comparison period. Furthermore, work continues to strengthen the organization prior to commercialization and continued growth.

Other operating expenses amounted to SEK –0.5 m (–0.9) and consisted of exchange rate losses on operating receivables and liabilities.

The operating loss was SEK –32.4 m (–56.5). The loss before tax was SEK –33.1 m (–57.2). During Q2, no taxable profit arose and thus no tax expense (0.0). The loss for the quarter after tax from remaining operations amounted to SEK –33.1 m (–57.2) and loss for the quarter was SEK –33.8 m (–59.2). Earnings per share for remaining operations amounted to SEK –1.32 (–2.58) and earnings per share amounted to SEK –1.35 (–2.67).

The Group's cash flow for April – June 2022

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -49.5 m (104.9). The change in operating receivables and operating liabilities was SEK –51.4 m (–19.3) and SEK 39.0 m (–22.2), respectively. The change in working capital can vary greatly between periods, mainly due to the re-invoicing to STADA for the development work for Xlucane™, i.e. establishing a

supply chain and the regulatory work. The continuing work on BIIB801 has also intensified and is part of the change.

Cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK –7.7 m (–5.2) and included investments in tangible fixed assets for the internal laboratory and capitalization of research and development costs. From July 1, 2021 (see above), development costs for Xlucane™ are reported as intangible fixed assets, which for the period affected cash flow by SEK –5.7 m (0.0). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK –2.0 m (–1.5) and relates to leasing of machines and premises.

The Group's results for January – June 2022

The Group's revenue amounted to SEK 22.8 m (5.1) and consisted partly of income from the out-licensing of the American and Canadian rights for Xlucane™, to Bausch + Lomb and the agreement signed with Biogen regarding BIIB801.

Other operating income amounted to SEK 17.6 m (2.5) and consisted mainly of exchange rate gains on operating receivables and liabilities as well as license income from sources other than the core business itself.

Research and development costs amounted to SEK –88.9 m (–95.3) and mainly relate to Xlucane™, where the main cost-drivers are the regulatory work and establishing a supply chain for Xlucane™. Additional factors are the continuing work on BIIB801 which has intensified and the work on developing new biosimilars. From July 1, 2021, all development costs for Xlucane™ have been recognized as intangible fixed assets in the balance sheet and amounted to SEK 35.6 m (0.0) for the period. The gross effect of research and development costs for the period was SEK –124.5 m (–95.3). The capitalization of development costs also affects the comparative figures for research and development costs, which decreased compared with previous periods. No retroactive capitalization has been made regarding research and development costs that arose before July 1, 2021.

Administrative expenses amounted to SEK –14.0 m (–16.6). The decrease is due to the change of premises during the comparison period. Furthermore, work continues to strengthen the organization prior to commercialization and continued growth.

Other operating expenses amounted to SEK –6.7 m (–1.5) and consisted of exchange rate losses on operating receivables and liabilities.

The operating loss was SEK –69.2 m (–105.7). The loss before tax was SEK –70.6 m (–106.3). During the period, no taxable profit arose and thus no tax expense (0.0). The loss for the period after tax from remaining operations amounted to FIRST PAGE CEO'S LETTER PRODUCT CANDIDATE

OVERVIEW

FINANCIAL INFORMATION INFORMATION

SEK –70.6 m (–106.3) and loss for the period was SEK –69.9 m (–110.4). Earnings per share for remaining operations amounted to SEK –2.82 (–4.79) and earnings per share amounted to SEK –2.79 (–4.97).

The Group's cash flow for January – June 2022

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK –4.0 m (–96.9). See above for the change in operating receivables and operating liabilities was SEK –3.5 m (18.7) and SEK 65.8 m (–3.1), respectively. The change in working capital can vary greatly between periods, mainly due to the re-invoicing to STADA for the development work for Xlucane™, i.e. establishing a supply chain and the regulatory work. The continuing work on BIIB801 has also intensified and is part of the change.

Cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK –39.3 m (–13.9) and consisted, among others, of investments in tangible fixed assets for the internal laboratory and capitalization of research and development costs. From July 1, 2021 (see above), development costs for Xlucane™ are reported as intangible fixed assets, which for the period affected cash flow by SEK –35.6 m (0.0). Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK –3.9 m (–2.7) and relates to leasing of machines and premises.

The Group's financial position and continued operations

The Board and management continuously monitor the Group's current and forecasted cash flows to ensure that the company has the financial resources needed to run the business according to the decided plan, in a way that is optimal for the Group and the shareholders. As of the balance sheet date, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 250.1 m. Considering the company's financial position together with other liquidity-enhancing measures deemed possible if necessary, the Board considers that the Group has financing for at least 12 months ahead according to the current business plan

Fixed assets

Fixed assets amounted to SEK 160.9 m (75.7), where the change is largely explained by capitalization of research and development costs, amounting to SEK 85.3 m (0.0). Capitalization of research and development costs began on July 1, 2021, and no retroactive capitalization has been made for previous periods. Remaining changes to the item consist of the acquisition of laboratory equipment, machinery, equipment for the office premises and customary monthly depreciation.

Other receivables

Other receivables amounted to SEK 59.4 m (31.5), and the increase is explained by the fact that customer invoices to STADA have been reclassified since January 1, 2022, as "other receivables", instead of "accounts receivable" as this is considered to reflect the business more accurately. Previous periods have therefore been reclassified, which means that comparative figures are no longer in line with previous reports. See also Note 1 for further information regarding the reclassification.

Prepaid expenses and accrued income

Prepaid expenses and accrued income amounted to SEK 141.3 m (76.8). The significant items relate in part to an advance payment SEK 21.0 m(48.6) to CRO (Contract Research Organization) which is carrying out the clinical study of Xlucane™. An advance payment was made to CMO (Contract Manufacturing Organization) of SEK 70.2 m (20.8), of which SEK 54.4 m (15.0) relates to future upscaling activities. The increase is explained by the fact that the expected delivery times at the suppliers have become longer and thus there is a longer initial process before the work can begin. SEK 39.9 m (0.0) refers to an advance for the collaboration with AGC Biologics Inc. for continued work with the manufacturing process. The remaining part refers to customary and recurring items amounting to SEK 10.2 m (7.4).

The share capital on the balance sheet date amounted to SEK 5.6 m (5.0). Other capital contributions capital amounted to SEK 1,135.1m (775.7). The change primarily relates to a raising of capital completed in mid-2021, amounting to around SEK 380 m before transaction costs and share-based payments. Total equity amounted to SEK 365.7 m (149.7) and the equity ratio was 53% (39).

Accounts payable

Accounts payable amounted to SEK 53.1 m (21.4). The change partly refers to increased activity with BIIB801 and activities linked to establishing a supply chain for XlucaneTM.

Accrued expenses and prepaid income

Accrued expenses and prepaid income amounted to SEK 212.8 m (158.4) and partly relate to advance payments from STADA for Xlucane™ of SEK 75.0 m (99.6). Furthermore, SEK 57.9 m (34.8) relates to work carried out that has not yet been invoiced, regarding the XlucaneTM project. Other items amounted to SEK 79.9 m (24.0), of which the up-front payment from Biogen, which has been accrued until the end of Q2 2023, was SEK 55.7 m (0.0).

Significant events in the second quarter 2022

  • In May, it was announced that the company had withdrawn its marketing authorization application for its LUCENTIS® biosimilar candidate following a request for additional information from the FDA (US equivalent to the Swedish Medicines Agency).
  • At the end of June, a change in the number of shares and voting rights in Xbrane linked to a long-term incentive program was announced.

Significant events after the end of the quarter

• In early July, an update was provided regarding supplements and recommendations received from the FDA. The application is planned to be re-submitted during 2022.

Effects of the cooperation agreement with STADA

The collaboration agreement started in July 2018 with STADA regarding projects for research and development of Xlucane™ meant that STADA and Xbrane would equally share (50/50) research and development costs attributable to the project. This meant that until June 1, 2021, Xbrane reported its share of 50 percent of the total costs for the project in the income statement. After June 1, 2021, when clinical trials showed that the primary endpoint for efficacy for Xlucane™ had been reached, the project was judged to meet the criteria for capitalization of research and development costs and is subsequently reported as an intangible asset in the balance sheet and thus does not continue to be reported in the income statement.

Receivables and liabilities attributable to the project are reported in full in Xbrane's balance sheet with a settlement of 50 percent for STADA's share. This applies to both the Group and the Parent Company.

On the balance sheet date, Xbrane had accrued expenses and prepaid income from STADA amounting to SEK 75.0 m (99.6).

Effects of the planned sale of Primm Pharma Assets held for sale

Xbrane's intention is to continue to work towards a divestment of the subsidiary Primm Pharma. In the 2021 Q1 report, Primm Pharma's assets and liabilities were reclassified to "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities attributable to assets held for sale" respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. The reclassification created some minor effects of a number of items in the balance sheet which is expected as Primm Pharma is a smaller part of the Group.

In the income statement, Primm Pharma's results are reported separately as "Profit/loss from discontinued operations." The reclassification gives the effect that Primm Pharma's previous income and expenses have been reversed and reported net as "Profit/loss from discontinued operations." This also has an effect on previously reported periods, which is why comparative figures no longer correspond to previous reports. In the cash flow, Primm Pharma's share of each activity is reported in the item "Of which from discontinued operations."

Parent company

The core business in Xbrane, which is developing biosimilars, is run by the parent company. The Group has continued working on divesting the subsidiary Primm Pharma. Xbrane has previously written down the shares in the subsidiary by SEK 49.0 m and the impairment assessment is not considered to have changed during Q2 2022.

As the parent company constitutes such a large part of the Group, an account in text format of the parent company's earnings, financial position and cash flow would not provide any further information to that described in the report on the Group. Therefore, this is only presented in report format on pages 15-17.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks and uncertainties are described on pages 29–30 of the Annual Report for 2021, which is available on the company's website, www.xbrane.com. At the time of publication of this interim report, these have not changed significantly.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Share information

Xbrane's share capital at the end of the period was SEK 5.6 m (5.0) divided into 25,144,906 shares (22,222,206).

The quota value of all shares is SEK 0.224, and all the shares have equal rights to the company's assets and earnings.

The whollyowned subsidiary, Primm Pharma, is located in Milan, Italy. As mentioned above, the sale of the subsidiary is in progress. On the balance sheet date, the Group had 70 (60) employees, of which 70 (55) in the parent company and 0 (5 ) in the subsidiary Primm Pharma.

Anders Tullgren was also re-elected Chairman of the Board.

For the Group and the parent company the same accounting principles and calculation bases as the previous annual report have been applied with the exception of the changed or additional accounting principles described below. Information according to IAS 34.16A is included in these financial statements and related notes as well in other parts of this interim report.

Licensing income

In order to present relevant information that more accurately reflects Xbrane's core business, licensing income attributable to activities within biosimilars is reported as operating income in the income statement. Income from the concluded licensing agreement with Bausch + Lomb is thereby reclassified as revenue and a part of ordinary activities. In previous periods, Xbrane has reported licensing income attributable to activities within biosimilars as other operating income in the income statement. The change to this accounting principle has been applied retroactively and the comparison periods for 2021 have been recalculated for the Group. This means that comparative figures no longer align with previously published financial reports.

STADA

In order to present relevant information that more accurately reflects Xbrane's core business, receivables related to our partner STADA have been reclassified as other receivables in the balance sheet. STADA receivables relate primarily to ongoing research and development costs for XlucaneTM. In previous periods, receivables related to STADA were classified as accounts receivable in the balance sheet. The change to this accounting principle has been applied retroactively and the comparison periods for 2021 have been recalculated for the Group. This means that comparative figures no longer align with previously published financial reports.

Operating segment

In Q1 2022 Xbrane carried out a strategic review with the result that segment reporting was updated and will include the segment "Commercialization, Biosimilar development and Unclassified." The segment was identified based on the internal reporting presented to the Company's chief operating decision-maker. The segments are defined according to the following:

  • Commercialization: Developed biosimilars that are in a commercialization phase and have thus undergone the development stage and requisite clinical trials.
  • Biosimilar development: Comprises biosimilars that have not yet undergone the requisite development phases and clinical trials.
  • Unclassified: The segment comprises other activities within the company that are not included in the above segments.

Monitoring of the segment is not carried out for assets and liabilities at the segment level but instead appears in the income statement.
