CEO STATEMENT

Richard Davies, CEO

ANTIBIOTIC PRODUCTS DRIVE SALES GROWTH

SALES INCREASED BY 23%

We continued to deliver solid top-line growth with sales increasing by 23% to SEK 32.7 million in the third quarter.

In Europe and RoW (Rest of World), our sales increased by 28% to SEK 11.1 million across the summer months. Growth was driven by our antibiotic eluting products, CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V, with an increase of 48%. Increased surgeon acceptance driven by the depth of clinical evidence supporting CERAMENT's ability to remodel to host bone and to deliver antibiotics to protect bone healing was the key factors driving the greater adoption of these highly differentiated products. Investments in our sales and marketing organization underpinned our growth in Europe.

In North America, we saw a slow-down in sales growth YTD due to our US distributor Zimmer Biomet experiencing supply shortages of its own hardware products. CERAMENT BVF is usually used in conjunction with our distributor's hardware and any issues in supplying hardware impacts our US sales growth. Despite these problems, our North American sales increased by 21% to SEK 21.6 million in the third quarter.

FORTIFY AND CERTIFY FOLLOWS PLAN

CERTiFy patient recruitment is expected to complete around the year-end with publication one year later. FORTIFY recruited its first patient in May and we have initiated the majority of the 30 study clinical sites.

PATIENT DATA SUPPORTING PRODUCT BENEFITS

During the third quarter, new supporting clinical data on our antibiotic eluting products CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V were presented at two important conferences, the European Bone and Joint Infection Society conference (EBJIS), and the British Orthopaedic Association Congress. The data presented continued to highlight the benefits of using CERAMENT G for the successful management of patients with osteomyelitis as well as for complex trauma and septic arthroplasty revisions. The data was well received among participating surgeons.

R&D – KEY MANAGEMENT APPOINTMENT

In September, we appointed Dr. Jerry Chang to the newly created position of Executive Vice President of Research & Development. Dr Chang will lead the company's research, clinical and regulatory affairs teams. Dr Chang joined BONESUPPORT from Zimmer Biomet Etex, a subsidiary of Zimmer Biomet that develops and commercializes products that address bone repair and regeneration. Dr Chang's experience includes the development and launch of several bone and fracture healing products and developing combination products containing biologics or cells to promote bone growth. Dr Chang deepens our R&D experience and his leadership will play a key role in the development of BONESUPPORT's product pipeline.

EXECUTING OUR STRATEGY

We continue to invest in growing the body of clinical evidence highlighting the benefits, especially, our drug eluting products, deepening our sales and marketing capabilities developing our pipeline and strengthening our senior management team. We remain focused on delivering our key value-generating milestones to meet our 2020 financial targets.

MAIN CLINICAL STUDIES

POST-MARKETING STUDIES TO DRIVE INCREASED ADOPTION AND BROADEN INDICATIONS

BONESUPPORT has a policy of supporting leading orthopaedic surgeons interested in conducting research with the company's CERAMENT products. The effectiveness of this approach was demonstrated at two important conferences in Europe:

  • The EBJIS conference, Nantes, France
  • The BOA Congress, Liverpool, UK

At these conferences, multiple presentations and posters covering clinical experience with both CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V were presented. The data presented covered:

  • The benefit of using CERAMENT G in the management of osteomyelitis using a single stage approach
  • Complex trauma cases, with a similar presentation to the patients being recruited into the FORTIFY study. The data on patients with open fractures showed that CERAMENT G, when used prophylactically, could prevent infections for a minimum 12-months follow up.
  • Good outcomes in acute osteomyelitis, septic arthro plasty revisions, challenging septic non unions, as well as use in trauma in patients with implants and high classification infections (CM III and IV) where a 90% success rate at 20 months, were achieved with a single stage surgical approach.

The data presented at these conferences reinforce the important clinical benefits that CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V deliver and their highly competitive market positioning.

FORTIFY – ON-GOING PATIENT RECRUITMENT

Patient recruitment in the company's IDE study (Investigational Device Exemption) FORTIFY is progressing. The FORTIFY study is designed to generate the clinical data needed to gain market approval for CERAMENT G in the US with planned launch in 2021. FORTIFY is a randomized multi-center controlled trial which is assessing the safety and efficacy of CERAMENT G as part of open surgical repair of diaphyseal tibial fractures. The study is targeting to enrol 230 patients at up to 30 centers globally, with the aim of having at least 50% of the study data coming from US patients.

NEW INVESTIGATOR-INITIATED TRIAL IN REVISION ARTHROPLASTY STARTED

.

In early October, the first patient was recruited in an investigator-initiated study which is evaluating both CERAMENT G and V in patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty revisions. Professor Carlo Romanò, at Instituto Ortopedico Galeazzi IRCCS, MIlano, is the Principal Investigator of the study, conducted at 6 clinical centers in Italy. It is expected to recruit approximately 135 patients. The study is an open-label, prospective cohort, observational clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CERAMENT G or CERAMENT V when used to fill bone defects in the tibia and/or femur shaft and/or acetabulum in patients scheduled for two-stage hip or knee prosthesis reimplantation for PJIs (Periprosthetic Joint Infections).

The company's most advanced investigator-initiated study is CERTiFy, a controlled, prospective, randomized clinical trial comparing the use of CERAMENT BVF versus autograft in the management of tibia plateau fractures. CERTiFy is conducted from more than a dozen top orthopaedic trauma centers in Germany and patient recruitment is planned to be completed around the end of 2017. Positive results from the study could allow CERAMENT BVF to take share from the autograft segment, which is the most widely used treatment globally.

Feasibility assessments are also ongoing to start studies evaluating CERAMENT G for the management of diabetic foot and chronic osteomyelitis.

PIPELINE ENHANCING BONE GROWTH

BONESUPPORT is developing a pipeline of novel CERAMENT products candidates that have been designed to enhance bone growth. These pipeline candidates capitalise on CERAMENT's unique drug eluting properties that enable local delivery into the bone of drugs/cells known to enhance bone growth or to reduce bone loss. At present four pipeline products are under pre-clinical evaluation:

  • CERAMENT plus bisphosphonates
  • CERAMENT plus bone morphogenic protein (BMP)
  • CERAMENT plus bisphosphonates and BMP
  • CERAMENT plus BMP and stem cells

Positive pre-clinical data has been both published and presented on CERAMENT plus BMP and Bisphosphonates.

NORTH AMERICA

Jul – Sep FY
(SEKm) 2017 2016 2016
Net Sales 21.6 17.9 68.8
Gross profit 19.3 14.6 59.5
Contribution 6.6 2.1 22.5

North America's focus is the US market, where CERAMENT BVF is distributed via Zimmer Biomet through its national channel of 53 exclusive distributors. BONESUPPORT's commercial team supports sales directly to these exclusive US distributors alongside Zimmer Biomet.

During Q3, the BONESUPPORT US organizationstrengthened the sales function by hiring additional employees. The total number of employees is 14 in the US commercial organization, providing a solid base to further increase sales in the US. The Company exhibited at the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle conference in Seattle, in July, which generated strong interest from the growing orthopedic foot and ankle trauma market. The Company also exhibited at the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society in Denver in September with strong interest from surgeons.

Our US distributor, Zimmer Biomet, is facing challenges associated with supplying its hardware products. As CERAMENT BVF is normally sold together with Zimmer Biomet hardware, we have seen a negative impact on our sales growth for CERAMENT BVF in the US.

Despite these challenges our North America sales grew significantly through the period. This is a strong testament to our ability to differentiate CERAMENT BVF and leverage surgeon loyalty.

JULY–SEPTEMBER2017

Net Sales

Net Sales for North America increased by 21% versus Q3 2016 and amounted to SEK 21.6 million. The sales growth is impacted by internal supply issues within Zimmer Biomet. This improvement is mainly due to the increased number of procedures CERAMENT BVF was used and an increase in marketing activities, such as exhibitions and similar. Net sales per quarter is presented below (SEKm).

Contribution

The contribution in North America was SEK 6.6 million (2.1). The gross margin increased to 89.3% (81.5), and was together with the sales increase the main reasons for the increased contribution. The sales and marketing costs increased to SEK 8.0 million (7.1) due to the increase in the sales management, implementation of sales analytic tools and further investment in marketing activities as well as the establishment of surgeon advisory boards. TheR&D expenses were SEK 4.7 million (5.1).

EUROPE AND REST OF WORLD

Jul – Sep FY
(SEKm) 2017 2016 2016
Net Sales 11.1 8.6 35.7
Gross profit 9.4 6.4 28.8
Contribution -3.6 -4.1 -12.2

In Europe (EUR), BONESUPPORT sells its products via a combination of its own direct sales force and distributors.The Company has 20 people in its commercial organization in Europe, and sells direct in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark and works with specialty distributors in a further eight markets. BONESUPPORT signed an agreement with Novomedics to commercialize our products in the French market.

In Rest of World (ROW), the Company's products are sold via distributors. Key markets are India, Singapore and Oman.

JULY–SEPTEMBER2017

Net Sales

Net Sales for EUR&ROW increased by 28% versus Q32016 and amounted to SEK 11.1 million. This improvement is mainly driven by greater use of our products in both direct sales markets and some distributor markets. The usual summer slowdown caused by vacations was evident. Net sales per quarter is presented below (SEKm).

BONESUPPORT's drug-eluting products, CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V, increased by 48%in the quarter, driven by increased market adoption.

During Q3, the Company sponsored and attended a number of Society meetings in Europe where both Key Opinion Leaders and other surgeons participated. Several key podium and poster presentations regarding the use of Cerament were given. These are an important part of generating a wider acceptance and use for our products.In particular EBJIS in Nantes had several podium and poster presentations related to BONESUPPORT's products. These presentations were very well received among the surgeons attending.

Contribution

The contribution in EUR&ROW was SEK -3.6 million (-4.1). The gross margin was 84.9% (74.4). The higher margin is an effect due to increased sales of the drug-eluting products in Europe. Sales and marketing costs grew to SEK 12.9 million (10.5) due to our investment in the sales organization and increased marketing activities in Europe, including exhibitions and other events.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

PROFIT AND LOSS

JULY - SEPTEMBER 2017

Net Sales

Net Sales in the third quarter amounted to SEK 32.7 million (26.5), an increase of 23%. Both segments delivered modest growth, with North America increasing by 21% to SEK 21.6 million (17.9) and Europe & ROW (Rest of World) increasingby 28% to SEK 11.1 million (8.6). North America was however negatively impacted by the hardware supply issues faced by our US distributor. The main sales driver in Europe was the increased usage of the drug eluting products. Further details are presented earlier in the report, in the segment sections. The growth was driven by increased volumes. The currency translation effect was positive by SEK 0.5 million. Sales per quarter, and LTM, is presented to the right (SEKm).

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales in the third quarter amounted to SEK -4.0 million (-5.5), leading to a higher gross margin of 87.8% (79.2). The margin improvement is mainly due to a positive effect from the product mix (of sizes) and relatively higher operational costs in same period last year.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses in the third quarter amounted to SEK 24.4 million (25.0), a decrease of 2%, of which SEK 12.0 million (10.6) were employee costs. Both segments increased, where North America increased by 13% to SEK 8.0 million (7.1) and Europe & Rest of World increased by 23 % to SEK 12.9 million (10.5). The other selling expenses, not allocated to the segments, decreased to SEK 3.5 million (7.4) due to less general, not allocated,sales and marketing activities.

Research and development (R&D) expenses

R&D expenses amounted to SEK 12.8million (10.9) in the third quarter, an increase of 17%, of which SEK 4.7 million (3.7) were costs for employees. North America decreased by 8% to SEK 4.7 million (5.1). Other R&D expenses amounted to SEK 8.1 million (5.8), and consisted of general R&D activities and further progress of the CERTiFy project and the pipeline, not related to a specific segment.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses in the quarter amounted to SEK 11.1 million (11.4). The total employee cost amounted to SEK 7.0 million (4.4), of which SEK 3.8million (1.2) were costs related to the Group's employee stock option plan.

Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income and expenses mainly consists of exchange rate gains and losses on working capital. Other operating income amounted to SEK 1.0 million (1.1) and other operating expenses amounted to -1.5 million (-0.7) in the quarter.

Operating result

The operating result for the quarter amounted to SEK -20.1 million (-25.9). The improved operating result loss was primarily due to the increase in gross profit by 36%to SEK 28.7 million (21.0). The translation currency effect was not significant.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the quarter amounted to SEK -2.4 million (-9.1) where of SEK -3.5 million (-3.3) was related to interest on the Group´s loan. Net exchange gains and losses amounted to SEK 1.1million (-3.1).

Loss for the period

For the reasons disclosed above the loss forthe quarter amounted to SEK -22.9million (-34.8), which corresponded to earnings per share of SEK -0.47 (-1.39).

PROFIT AND LOSS

JANUARY - SEPTEMBER 2017

Net Sales

Net Sales in the period amounted to SEK 102.3million (75.0), an increase of 36%. Both segments delivered good growth, driven by increased use in the US and key markets in Europe. The increase in the US was 32% and 45% in Europe and ROW.

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales in the period amounted to SEK -12.4 million (-12.7), generating a gross margin of 87.9% (83.1). The improved gross margin is mainly due to favorable product mix in the US and key markets in Europe and positive volume effect on the manufacturing costs. The sales of our drugeluting products increased more than CERAMENT BVF in Europe, which improved the gross margin for the segment as the drug-eluting products have higher gross margin than CERAMENT BVF.

Operating result

The operating result in the period amounted to SEK -65.9 million (-60.3), positively affected by the increased sales and gross profit and negatively affected by the increase in operating costs. The Selling, R&D and Administrative expenses amounted to SEK -154.2 million (-123.7). The increase is mainly due to strengthened sales and R&D organization, increased marketing activities, the FORTIFY study and costs related to the IPO. The IPO related costs amounted to SEK 5.1million.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the first half year amounted to SEK - 11.2 million (-15.1) whereof SEK -11.2 million (-7.4) was related to interest on the Groups loan. Net exchange gains and losses amounted to SEK -0.0million (-4.4).

Loss for the period

For the reasons disclosed above the loss for the period amounted to SEK -77.5million (-75.5).

FINANCIAL POSITION & CASH FLOW (CF)

Cash at period end was SEK 567.6 million (72.8), an increase from year-end of SEK 426.1 million, mainly related to the new share issue of SEK 559.0 million gross in conjunction with the IPO. The cost for this share issue was SEK -38.7 million, generating net proceeds of SEK 520.3million.

The operating cash flow in the period was SEK -81.8 million (-51.4) mainly due to the operating result of SEK -65.9 million (-60.3) and changes in working capital of SEK -18.6 million (12.2).

Interest-bearing debt decreased by SEK 26.6 million mainly due to the amortizations of the loan from Kreos Capital. Net debt and equity improved significantly due to the new share issue.

Review report

BONESUPPORT HOLDING AB (publ), corporate identity number 556802-2171

Board of Directors BONESUPPORT HOLDING AB (publ)

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for BONESUPPORT HOLDING AB (publ) as at September 30, 2017 and for the nine months 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 Swedish 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 the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review 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 standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do 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, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
