Martin Åmark, CEO, at the listing ceremony at Nasdaq Stockholm.

Comments from the CEO

Xbrane took a step up to the Nasdaq Stockholm main list in September, after strengthening its financial position earlier this year. The seal of approval that it means to be listed on Nasdaq is very important to us as it gives us access to an ever-wider group of investors while increasing awareness and knowledge of our company

Aiming to become a world-leading biosimilar developer

The market for biosimilars in 2018 had a turnover of around SEK 58 billion and is expected to grow to SEK 230 billion a year by 20231 . It is the fastest growing segment in the pharmaceutical industry. Xbrane's goal is to become a world-leading developer in this market. We will develop and market a wide portfolio of high-quality biosimilars at the lowest cost based on our unique patented production platform, which will benefit patients with a major need for cost-effective alternatives. We are well positioned in this market. We are working actively to build our IP portfolio around our production platform - all to ensure that we have the lowest production costs on the market. We have also strengthened our team and now have 34 employees, most of whom have extensive experience in drug development. We now believe that we have the in-house expertise in the areas required to take our biosimilars all the way to the market.

We are now stronger than ever

During the first nine months of the financial year, Xbrane raised new capital from existing and new investors. The list of owners includes institutional investors such as Swedbank Robur Medica, Nyenburgh Investment Partners in the Netherlands and Belsize in the UK, as well as our partner, the pharmaceutical company STADA. Furthermore, we have started an in-depth collaboration with STADA under which we now are evaluating several biosimilars.

Preparing the application for market approval of Xlucane

The registration-based phase III study with Xlucane, Xplore, is underway with the aim of demonstrating equivalence compared to Lucentis®. Xbrane intends to report data on the primary endpoint, improving visual acuity after eight weeks, in mid-2020. In the blinded follow-up conducted for the study's patients for ethical reasons, no indications of discrepancies in the study compared to normal use of Lucentis® have been identified, and consequently no indications of different safety or efficacy profile for Xlucane compared to Lucentis®. For us, this is reassuring for the completion of the study.

During the quarter we participated in the leading conferences for ophthalmologists globally: EURETINA in Europe and AAO in the US. We have spoken with ophthalmologists from all over the world, many of whom are now participating in our clinical study Xplore. It is important to build this network of future prescribers of Xlucane and to increase awareness of the product.

We are also preparing applications for market approval that we intend to submit to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and to the US FDA during the second half of 2020. This includes preparing the commercial supply chain for Xlucane, as well as completion of the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls documentation (CMC). We have held scientific advisory meetings with both the EMA and the FDA to ensure that the Marketing Authorization Application shall meet the authorities' requirements. With the EMA, thanks to the authority's tailor-made program for biosimilars, we have the opportunity for more frequent and in-depth discussions than usual. We also held consultative meetings with the PMDA and NMPA during the year to clarify the local regulatory requirements in Japan and China, respectively.

Pre-clinical development of Xcimzane and Xdivane

As Xlucane is leaving the pre-clinical phase, our R&D team has accelerated the exciting work with Xcimzane (biosimilar on Cimzia®) and Xdivane (biosimilar on Opdivo®). We are now establishing cost-effective pilot-scale production processes for these products. Our goal is for both products to be launched in conjunction with the respective original drugs losing their patent protection. Furthermore, the development of Xoncane (Oncaspar® biosimilar) and Spherotide continues.

Higher sales potential for biosimilars

Since I started at Xbrane in 2015, several new sales records for biosimilars have been set. For example, Eli Lilly's insulin biosimilar Abasalgar® 2019 became the first biosimilar to pass USD 1 billion in annual sales1 . For each launch of a new biosimilar, the impact becomes faster and stronger. Particularly for biosimilars that are sold to, and administered in a hospital environment. The penetration for biosimilars such as , Infliximab, Rituximab and Etanercept have reached as high as between 83-95% in comparisons between the five largest EU countries in just a few years2 . Our goal of reaching sales with Xlucane, which is sold to and administered in a hospital environment, of EUR 350 million annually three years after launch is fully realistic, given the positive development we see for biosimilars.

Financing in place up until top line data from Xplore study is available

At the end of the third quarter, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 162 million, which will finance the Xplore study up until top line result is available, other development activities in order to apply for market approval for Xlucane as well as development of our pre-clinical biosimilars up until end of third quarter 2020. In 2018, revenue from commercial agreements amounted to approximately

Participants at the American Academy of Ophthalmology's annual congress in San Francisco.

SEK 100 million from Xlucane and Spherotide, both then in pre-clinical development. We expect to be able to generate additional revenue from commercial agreements up untill 2022. If no further commercial agreements take place up until the end of third quarter 2020 the company would need additional capital to fund the coming 12 months operations.

Furthermore, to finance the company up until 2022 when Xlucane is expected to generate sales, additional capital will be needed. This is expected to be generated from commercial agreements for our product candidates potentially in combination with additional financing from investors. Xbrane is working actively to meet investors that are interested to be a part of the long-term building of the company.

Capital market activities during autumn and winter

During the autumn, Xbrane participated in a number of capital market days in Vienna, Stockholm and Lund organized by LSX, Biostock and Vator Securities. In the coming months, we will be attending Jefferies' Global Healthcare conference in London on November 20, Vator Unicorn Summit in Stockholm on November 27, an event in Tel Aviv organized by Vator Securities in December and the JP Morgan Healthcare conference in San Francisco in January 2020.

Finally, I would like to extend a big thank you to our employees who have made it possible for us to take these important steps in our development. Thanks to our listing on Nasdaq's main list, we now have a channel to market in a completely different way than before. We feel very enthusiastic about our building of Xbrane to become a world-leading biosimilar developer with a unique technological platform and with the ambition of developing future cost-effective biosimilars that will benefit the patients of the world.

Xlucane

Xlucane is a biosimilar to ranibizumab (original drug Lucentis®), and it is used to treat wet age-related macular degeneration and other eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion. The market for VEGF inhibitors for ophthalmic use had sales of SEK 94 billion in 2018, of which Lucentis® accounted for SEK 35 billion1,2. The market has grown by about 10% per year over the past three years and is growing at the same rate on a quarterly basis during 20193,4. Lucentis® main patent protection will expire in 2020 in the US and 2022 in Europe.

Xlucane is undergoing a pivotal phase III study, Xplore, to demonstrate equivalence compared to Lucentis®. The study started in April 2019 and data on the primary endpoint for all patients is expected to be presented in mid-2020. Preparatory regulatory work for the marketing authorization application is being done in parallel with work on designing the pre-filled syringe and establishing a logistics chain. The marketing authorization application is planned to be submitted second half of 2020.

Xbrane has a co-development agreement with STADA for the development, sale and marketing of Xlucane, which means that STADA and Xbrane are splitting the development costs and future profits for Xlucane equally.

Xcimzane

Xcimzane is a biosimilar to certolizumab pegol (original drug Cimzia®), a TNF inhibitor used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease in particular. The market for TNF inhibitors had a turnover of approximately SEK 240 billion in 20185 and Cimzia® sold for SEK 14 billion in 20186 . Cimzia® patent protection is expected to expire in 2024 in the US and 2025 in Europe.

Xcimzane is now undergoing pre-clinical development with a focus on developing a cost-efficient production process and demonstrating analytical similarity to the original drug. When this step is completed, upscaling along with a production partner will follow, after which the product can be used for clinical trials.

Xdivane

Xdivane is a biosimilar to nivolumab (original drug Opdivo®), a PD1 inhibitor for the treatment of various cancers with a turnover of approximately SEK 72 billion over the last 12-month period7 . Opdivo® patent protection is expected to expire during 2026-2031, depending on the country.

Xdivane is undergoing pre-clinical development with a focus on developing a cost-efficient production process and demonstrating analytical similarity to the original drug. When this step is completed, upscaling with a production partner will follow, after which the product can be used in clinical trials.

Xoncane

Xoncane is a biosimilar to pegaspargase (original drug Oncaspar®), used in treatment for Acute Lymphatic Leukemia. In 2018, Oncaspar® sold for about SEK 2 billion8 . Xoncane is now undergoing pre-clinical development.

Spherotide

Spherotide is a long-acting injectable drug with the active substance triptorelin, used primarily in the treatment of prostate cancer, breast cancer, endometriosis and myoma. In 2018, Triptorelin sold for about SEK 4 billion9 , and although patents expired several years ago, there are still no generics on the long-term formulations.

As communicated in June, the focus of the continued development for Spherotide is to be able to initiate a pivotal phase III trial with endometriosis patients, which support the market authorization in Europe and China. This step can be taken after 1) signing of a binding agreement with STADA, 2) approval of the design for the clinical trial from the Chinese authorities and 3) completion of the ongoing upgrade of the quality system at Xbrane's contract manufacturer ICI.

STADA is now conducting a due diligence on Spherotide. Signing of a binding agreement will not, as earlier communicated, happen in 2019 but is rather expected during 2020. Xbrane has had an advisory meeting with the Chinese authorities. A follow-up meeting is being planned

during the current year where outstanding questions regarding the study will be resolved. ICI has completed the upgrade of their quality system, which was initiated based on few deviations identified by AIFA, the Italian regulatory authority, during an inspection of the production facility earlier this year. ICI is, for the moment, awaiting approval of the update from AIFA. Further, as communicated in the previous interim report of 2019, Xbrane has, as a precaution,

temporarily stopped all sales and deliveries to Iran, due to the geopolitical situation. Nothing has changed concerning that decision and no sales should be expected during fourth quarter 2019.

8 XBRANE BIOPHARMA

Financial overview

The Group's results for July – September 2019

During the third quarter, no sales were made (SEK 2.4 M in the same period last year) and thus no cost of goods sold (SEK -1.9 M) was reported. The reduced sales is a direct consequence of the geopolitical situation in Iran. The Company has, as communicated earlier, decided to temporarily stop all sales and deliveries of Spherotide to Iran.

Other operating income amounted to SEK 1.4 M (84.0) and relates to license revenue from non-core operations and exchange rate gains on receivables and liabilities. During the comparison period, exceptional income of SEK 77.3 M occurred from the cooperation agreement for Xlucane with STADA.

Sales expenses amounted to SEK 0.1 M (0.1) and had a positive effect of SEK 0.4 M regarding a reversal of the provision for customer credit losses. Administrative expenses amounted to SEK -7.0 M (-8.8). During the comparison period, there were exceptional transaction costs of SEK -3.8 M relating to the STADA agreement. Adjusted for this, administrative expenses have increased compared with the previous year due to the administrative function expanding, as well as costs related to the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm's main list.

Research and development costs amounted to SEK -25.8 M (-12.1), of which SEK -22.0 M (-9.2) refers to biosimilars and primarily Xlucane, and SEK -3.8 M (-2.8) to the long-acting injectable drug Spherotide. The increase compared to the previous year is mainly due to costs related to the Xplore study that started this year and the parallel regulatory work. In addition, costs for the pre-clinical portfolio of biosimilars of SEK -2.8 M (-)* have been added.

Other operating expenses amounted to SEK -0.9 M (-3.0) and primarily consist of exchange rate losses on receivables and liabilities.

The operating loss amounted to SEK 32.1 M (60.9).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -0.3 M (-0.5) and primarily relate to financial expenses of SEK -0.2 M (-0.5) relating to the now fully repaid credit facility, leasing agreements and marginal interest income SEK 0 M (-).The loss before tax was SEK 32.4 M (60.3). During the quarter there was no taxable profit and thus no tax expense (-0.2 M).

The loss after tax for the quarter was SEK 32.4 M (60.1).

The Group's cash flow for July – September 2019

The cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -83.9 M (35.1). Changes in operating receivables and liabilities amounted to SEK -45.4 M (-106.6) and SEK -7.9 M (81.4), respectively. Changes in working capital can vary greatly between quarters, primarily as a result of further invoicing to STADA regarding the development work for Xlucane as well as costs for the clinical study.

The cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -0.2 M (-0.7) and consists of investments in property, plant and equipment. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 75.1 M (9.9) and refers to the second rights issue which brought in SEK 91.1 M before additional transaction costs of SEK -15.2 M, of which guarantee commitments accounted for SEK -8.4 M, as well as amortization of a leasing liability of SEK -0.8 M (-0.1).

The Group's results for January – September 2019

During the first nine months, no sales were made (SEK 15.6 M in the same period last year), and thus no cost of goods sold (SEK -12.3 M) were reported. The lack of sales is a direct consequence of the geopolitical situation in Iran. As previously communicated, the company has decided to tem-porarily suspend the sale and delivery of Spherotide to Iran.

Other operating income amounted to SEK 4.4 M (98.4) and refers to license revenue from non-core operations and exchange rate gains on receivables and liabilities. During the comparative pe-riod, exceptional income was reported from the licensing of Spherotide of SEK 13.4 M and SEK 77.3 M for the signed cooperation agreement for Xlucane with STADA.

Sales costs amounted to SEK -0.3 M (-0.7), the decrease of which is directly attributable to the lack of sales. Administrative costs amounted to SEK -18.1 M (-16.5). The comparative period con-tains exceptional transaction costs related to the conclusion of the STADA agreement of SEK -3.8 M. Adjusted for this, the increase compared to the previous year is even greater and is explained by a larger administrative function, as well as costs related to the listing on Nasdaq Stockholm's main list. Research and development costs amounted to SEK -90.1 M (-60.3), of which SEK -80.3 M (-51.6) concerns biosimilars and primarily Xlucane and SEK -9.8 M (-8.7) the long-term impact injectable drug Spherotide. The increase in costs is mainly attributable to the ongoing Xplore study that started this year and the parallel regulatory work. In addition, costs have been added related to the pre-clinical portfolio of biosimilars of SEK -4.2 M (-)*.

Other operating expenses amounted to SEK -4.9 M (-3.5) and primarily consist of exchange rate losses on receivables and liabilities.

The operating loss was SEK 109.0 M (20.7).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -1.0 M (-1.3) and relate to financial income of SEK 0.1 M (-) from interest income and financial expenses of SEK -1.1 M (-1.3), which primarily consist of interest expenses related to the now fully repaid credit facility and leasing agreements.

* Other biosimilars in addition to Xlucane were added as a sub-segment of biosimilars in 2019. Previously, costs have been marginal and separate accounts have not been considered relevant.

The loss before tax was SEK 110.1 M (19.4). During the period, no taxable income and no tax expenses (SEK -0.2 M) were incurred. The loss after tax was SEK 110.1 M (19.2).

The Group's cash flow for January – September 2019

The cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -154.8 M (8.9). Changes in operating receivables and operating liabilities were SEK -75.1 M (-106.3) and SEK 28.7 M (93.6), respectively. Changes in working capital can vary greatly between periods, primarily as a result of further invoicing to STADA regarding the development work for Xlucane as well as costs for the clinical study.

The cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK -1.0 M (-1.4) and consisted of investments in property, plant and equipment.

The cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 217.0 M (47.8) and refers to the two rights issues and the directed issue totaling SEK 252.5 M with additional transaction costs of SEK -33.4 M, of which guarantee commitments accounted for SEK -12.5 M. In addition, amortization of loans and leasing debt accounted for SEK -0.1 M (-0.1) and SEK -2.0 M (-0.3) respectively.

The Group's financial position and going concern

During the first nine months, three issues were completed, which in total brought the company SEK 219.0 M after transaction costs and loan conversions. On the balance sheet date, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 162.2 M (64.3). Existing cash is expected to fund Xbrane's participation in the ongoing Xplore phase III study up until top line result from all patients is available, other ongoing development activities for Xlucane, and parts of the continued development of the company's pre-clinical biosimilars, until the end of Q3 2020. If no commercial deals were to take place until the third quarter of 2020, the company would need additional funding to cover the next 12 months of financing the business.

Inventory

Inventory amounted to SEK 10.1 M (2.7) and the increase is explained by the temporary cessation in sales of Spherotide.

Prepaid expenses and accrued income

Prepaid expenses and accrued income amounted to SEK 88.4 M (25.5), of which SEK 52.2 M (-) refers to the purchase of reference drugs for the ongoing Phase III study that will be used on an ongoing basis, SEK 27.4 M refers to the advance payment to the CRO (Contract Research Organization) which performs the clinical trial and the remaining SEK 8.8 M refers to other prepaid costs and accrued income.

Changes in equity

The share capital amounted to SEK 3.5 M (1.4) on the balance sheet date. Other capital contributions amounted to SEK 446.9 M (182.8) and was affected by SEK 295.4 M in issue liquidity, SEK -33.4 M in transaction costs and SEK 0.9 M in reserved share-related compensation for employees during the first nine months. Total equity amounted to SEK 241.7 M (114.5).

The equity ratio was 59% (42).

Long-term interest-bearing liabilities

On the balance sheet date, there were no long-term interest-bearing liabilities (SEK 0.2 M), but a smaller short-term interest-bearing loan of SEK 0.1 M (45.6). The former Serendipity Group credit facility was fully settled by converting it into shares during the year.

Leasing liabilities

Long- and short-term interest-bearing leasing liabilities amounted to SEK 7.1 M (-) and SEK 3.2 M (-), respectively. Comparative figures are missing as new accounting principles for leasing were introduced on January 1, 2019.

Accounts payable

Accounts payable amounted to SEK 18.9 M (47.3). The decrease compared to the previous year is mainly explained by advance payments to the CRO, which were initially larger when work for the Xplore study began.

Accrued expenses and prepaid income

Accrued expenses and prepaid income amounted to SEK 125.4 M (53.2) and primarily relate to advance payments from STADA for Xlucane of SEK 95.8 M (39.1).

Out of the remaining SEK 29.6 M (14.1), most of the related expenses relate to Xlucane.

The co-development agreement with STADA's impact on results and the balance sheet

Since the co-development agreement with STADA for Xlucane was concluded in July 2018, Xbrane's net costs for research and development of Xlucane have been reported in the results i.e. 50% of the total cost of the project. With regard to the balance sheet, assets and liabilities attributable to the development of Xlucane are reported in their entirety, i.e. 100%, and STADA's share of these, i.e. 50%, is reported in addition as the receivable or liability arising between Xbrane and STADA. This applies to both the Group and the parent company. On the balance sheet date, Xbrane had an account receivable with STADA of SEK 37.9 M. Furthermore, Xbrane had a long-term non-interest-bearing debt to STADA amounting to SEK 4.3 M, as well as accrued expenses and prepaid income from STADA amounting to SEK 95.8 M

Parent company

The core business at Xbrane, which is the development of biosimilars, is run by the parent company. As the parent company constitutes the major part of the Group, further presentation in text format of the parent company's results, financial position, going concern and cash flow is deemed unnecessary. Therefore, the parent company is only presented in reporting format on pages 19-21.

Risks and uncertainties

Risks and uncertainties are described in the annual report of 2018 on pages 32-34, which is available on the company's website. The annual report 2018 describes the risks involving sanctions against Iran that could lead to aggravated opportunities to sell goods and receive payments from Iran. Due to the difficult geopolitical situation, Xbrane has decided to temporarily stop all sales and deliveries of Spherotide to Iran.

The annual report 2018 also described the risk that the company will not be able to finance the remaining SEK 100-150 M required up until top line result of the clinical study. Since then, Xbrane has, by raising capital, strengthened its financial position and, at the time of publication of this report, has capital up until top line data from the clinical study is available and to finance its operations until the end of the third quarter 2020.

Apart from the comments above, no new factors or changed assumptions have arisen during the first nine months that could have a significant impact on the previously made risk and uncertainty assessment.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting principles

This interim financial reporting has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as well as applicable regulations from the annual accounts act.

The interim report for the Parent company has been prepared according to the Annual accounts act, chapter 9, Interim Report. For the Group and the Parent company the same accounting principles and calculation bases as the previous annual report have been used, with the exception from the changed accounting principles described below. Information according to IAS 34.16A is presented, except for within the financial reports and the associated notes, in other parts or the interim report as well.

The Group adopted IFRS 16 Leasing contracts from the first of January 2019. The Parent company are not applying IFRS 16 according to the exception rules within the RFR 2. Description of IFRS 16 and the effects from the transition to the standard are presented in brief below.

IFRS 16 Leasing agreements

IFRS 16 Leasing agreements replaced the previous IAS 17 Leasing agreements and IFRIC 4 determining whether an arrangement contains a Lease and related agreements. The new standard requires that all contracts which fulfill the definition of a leasing agreement, except contracts of less than 12 months duration and those with low values, as an asset and liability in the financial statements. The accounting according to IFRS 16 are based upon the approach that the lessee has the right to use the assets under a specific time period and simultaneously has an obligation to pay for the rights.

The assets and liabilities are accounted for as a discounted present value of the future leasing payments. The cost regarding the leased assets consists of amortization of the assets and interest cost towards the leasing liability. Contracts that earlier have been classified as operating leases will thereby be accounted for in the balance sheet with the effect that the current operating costs, leasing cost for the period, will be replaced with amortization of the right-to-use asset and interest expense in the income statement.

Transitional method

The implementation of IFRS 16 at Xbrane has been made by using the simplified transitional method, which means that the prior periods have not been restated.

Transition effects

As an operational lessee, the effect relates primarily to office premises and car rental contracts with the effect that total assets, operating profit/loss and financial costs increases as well as the related cash flows move from the operational activities to financing activities. The opening effect on the Group's balance sheet as of 1 January 2019 is estimated to SEK 4,495 thousand, consisting of a leasing asset as well as a leasing liability, within the balance sheet. The equity has not been affected.

At the closing date for the third quarter of 2019 the total leasing asset amounted to SEK 11, 965 thousand as well as a leasing liability. Which also includes a lease previously reported as a finance lease at the subsidiary.

The effect on the Group's income statement during the third quarter of 2019 amounted to SEK 148 thousand and SEK -102 thousand for interest cost and depreciation respectively. The effect on the first nine months of 2019 amounted to SEK 344 thousand and SEK -203 thousand for interest cost and depreciation respectively. The average marginal interest rate of 6% has been used as a discounting rate when calculating the transitional effects. For the Group's alternative KPI, there were no significant effects after the implementation of IFRS 16.

Review report

To the Board of Directors of Xbrane Biopharma AB (publ) Corp. id. 556749-2375

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Xbrane Biopharma AB (publ) as of 30 September 2019 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Uncertainties regarding going concern assumption

Without affecting our Conclusion above, we draw attention to the company's disclosures in the quarterly report on pages 4 and 10 which describes that the company expects to generate revenues from commercial agreements with third parties to ensure continued operations over the next 12 months. The company's work with commercial agreements has not been finalized at the date of signing this report. This indicates that there are uncertainties that about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Alternative performance measures

The Company presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes that these measures provide valuable supplementary information to investors and the Company's management as they enable evaluation of the Company's performance. Since not all companies calculate financial measurements in the same way, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be seen as replacement for measures that are defined in accordance with IFRS. The tables below show measurements that are not defined in accordance with IFRS.
