CEO's comments

A core element of our commercial strategy in the US has been to leverage selected market access agreements to gain prescriber confidence in Zubsolv® and steadily realize an increase in number of prescribers and patients taking advantage of this treatment. The evidence that this strategy is working is exemplified by more than 1 100 new prescribers of Zubsolv in 2015, an increased market share in the commercial segment H1 with 1.3 percentage point to 8.6% and a 20 percent growth in prescriptions from December to June1 in this segment. However, the rate at which Zubsolv is adopted by new prescribers into their clinical practice is not yet at a level we are satisfied with. We therefore continue to advance our negotiations with payers in the US and are confident that additional contracts in the public segment covering key geographies for Zubsolv will be secured. These contracts will enable Zubsolv to secure a preferential position and possibly an exclusive position in the category in selected geographies during the second half of 2015 and first half of 2016, and thereby facilitate use of Zubsolv for commercially insured patients at the same time.

Overall the market for Zubsolv has shown limited dynamics during the second quarter. Total market shares between the competing products have only moved marginally, although shifts have been realized across the different payer categories. Thus, while Zubsolv has gained around half a percent share in the commercial segment, the overall market share has remained on the same level around 6 percent1 due to loss of share in the cash and public segment. The feedback we receive from physicians starting to prescribe Zubsolv is encouraging, with especially patients new to treatment appreciating the clinical effect and convenience of Zubsolv. However there is inertia from some existing patients and physicians to accept and switch to a new product with higher bioavailability and different dosages than their current treatment. To address the inertia of physicians not prescribing Zubsolv we have increased the size of our field force enabling increased frequency in our dialog with the physicians and reach to more physicians. In an effort to further catalyze the sales of Zubsolv, we have made changes in the commercial leadership structure during the second quarter and initiated a strategy to convert selected top performing representatives of the field force into Orexo employees. We believe these changes will improve performance this year based on enhanced agility, business focus and ability to retain the most talented commercial colleagues in the US.

While our main focus is on the commercialization of Zubsolv in the US, the dialog with potential partners for Zubsolv outside the US and our new product OX51 has progressed well. We will initiate negotiations with several potential partners for both products during the summer.

The second quarter has not met our ambitions of continuous growth in the overall market share of Zubsolv. However, with new agreements improving our market access positions with payers, an extended field force and the launch of two new dosages and anticipated approval of the induction label combined with our dedication to make Zubsolv available to more patients as the drug of choice; my colleagues and I are confident we will see good progress in the second half of 2015 and we will continue to invest to win market share and growing Zubsolv.

Zubsolv® – treatment of opioid dependence

(buprenorphine/naloxone CIII sublingual tablet) for maintenance treatment of opioid dependence.

The market for Zubsolv consists of three distinct payer segments, commercial (private insurance), cash (patient) and public (Managed Medicaid, FFS Medicaid and Medicare Part D). Overall the market has grown 8.2 percent during the first half of 2015 compared to first half of 2014, and with the investments and attention from the US healthcare systems to provide access to treatment, the market growth remains very attractive. The primary growth driver has been the public sector with more than 20 percent growth, but also the commercial segment continues to increase, while the cash segment is declining.

During the first half of 2015 Zubsolv grew with 22 percent in prescriptions compared to first half 2014 and the second quarter grew with 4 percent compared to the first quarter 2015. The main growth driver is increased market share in the commercial segment from 7.3 percent to 8.6 percent, which has been partly offset by loss of market share in the cash and public segments. The decline in the public sector is fully explained by loss in volume with WellCare, accounting for around 17 percent of our total sales. Initially in the first quarter the decline in WellCare prescriptions was driven by patients shifting to different Managed Medicaid providers that offered Suboxone Film. Additional demand loss continued albeit at a slower rate due to two factors. First, evaporation similar to the development observed in previous exclusive agreements, this is explained by Zubsolv's higher bio-availability making Zubsolv less attractive than the competition for diversion and misuse. Secondly, during Q2 the decline in WellCare is new legislation in Kentucky, which will impose changes on the practices of physicians who prescribe buprenorphine which includes restrictions on prescription size and the ability of physicians to take cash payment from Medicaid patients. These legislative changes have led to declines in prescription volume across all managed Medicaid programs associated with Kentucky.

Zubsolv Market Share per Type of Payer (rolling 4 weeks)

December data: R4W WE 12/26/2014 June data: R4W WE 6/19/2015 Source: IMS PA

In addition to our sales force changes, our US marketing team has taken the dialog with the opioid addiction stakeholders to a new level through the Out the Monster campaign (www.outthemonster.com). The campaign is very well received by all stakeholders and won the Gold Lion Health Award in Cannes in June recognizing the innovation and quality of the campaign.

Commercial (private insurance)

(44% of the total market, 65% of Zubsolv business in June)

In the commercial segment Zubsolv market share increased by 1.3 percentage points and prescriptions grew 20 percent during H1 comparing the four weeks ending June 19th with December. In the second quarter the market share grew approx. 0.5 percentage points. The growth in market share during Q2 can be attributed to growth across many commercial insurers where Zubsolv has a parity formulary position to the competition in addition to growth demonstrated at CVS-Caremark and at United Healthcare.

To improve the gross to net ratio (rebates) it is important for Orexo to gain market share with the commercial insurers above that of the heavily discounted public payer contracts. The overall growth in this segment YoY for the first half of 2015 was 5.4 percent and Zubsolv is accessible to more than 90 percent of the patients.

Cash (patient) (19% of the total market, 13% of Zubsolv business in June)

Early in the first half of 2015 our main competitor improved their vouchers for cash patients from a maximum of \$50 rebate to a potential of \$200 rebate. Despite this large increase in rebate the changes in market share were marginal during the first half of 2015, with Zubsolv® experiencing a marginal loss of market share of 0.7 percentage points to 4.7 percent market share. The competition in this segment has increased significantly, with a new branded competitor offering a first month free trial, and one new generic product, resulting in improved voucher programs from the pharmacy chains. Orexo offers cash patients a rebate of up to 35% of our list price for the most prescribed dosage 5.7 mg/1.4 mg using our co-pay coupons. The overall decline of this segment YoY for the first half of 2015 was -8.2 percent and Zubsolv is accessible for 100 percent of the patients.

Public (Managed Medicaid, FFS Medicaid, Medicare) (37% of the total market, 22% of Zubsolv business in June)

The public market is different than the commercial and cash markets, as access to the market is tightly controlled by the payers contracted to manage the public funds available to pay for prescriptions. Most payers have policies encouraging listing generic alternatives as a first choice if they exist in the product category. With four generics in the market we have seen increased hesitance on the part of the payers to give first line access to new branded competitors. Orexo is in advanced negotiations with several larger payers covering key geographies for Zubsolv. This improvement in market access will enable Zubsolv to secure a preferential position and possibly an exclusive position in the category during the second half of 2015 and first half of 2016. When completed this improvement in market access will increase access to Zubsolv for patients in this category significantly in selected geographies.

Although usually they are a smaller part of the overall market the public payers are often leaders in their local markets and drive selection of medicine in certain geographies. Thus, it is important for Zubsolv to gain access to the patients with public insurance to gain a position in specific geographies. The rebate levels in the public market are significantly higher than in the commercial market, as all companies are required by law to provide at least the same rebate ("best price") as is offered to the commercial insurance companies. The overall growth of this segment YoY for the first half of 2015 was 21.0 percent and Zubsolv is accessible for 43.0 percent of the patients.

Life cycle management

During the quarter Zubsolv 2.9 mg/0.8 mg buprenorphine/naloxone dosage was approved by the FDA, with an anticipated launch during H2 2015. The launch of the new dosage and the previously approved 11.4 mg/2.9 mg buprenorphine/naloxone dosage will be coordinated with the anticipated approval of the expansion of the label for Zubsolv to include induction, which is expected during Q3.

Orexo has initiated a new registry study and is pleased to announce commencement of the REZOLV (Retrospective Evaluation of Zubsolv Outcomes – A Longitudinal View) study. The study demonstrates Orexo's continued commitment to further improve clinical outcomes in the treatment of the opioid dependent patient. This retrospective look at the use of Zubsolv in a real world setting and aims to fill a significant gap in the knowledge base of how best to treat opioid dependency through examining and characterizing the impact of treatment and psychosocial factors on early treatment outcomes. Factors such as: patient and prescriber characteristics, care settings, patient agreements and behavioral therapies will be studied. Significant interest has already been shown by numerous sites and set up activities are advanced with data expected in the first half of 2016.

Abstral® and Edluar®

Due to the early timing of the Q2 report, Orexo has not yet received final data for second quarter sales of Abstral and is still waiting for the first six months sales data of Edluar. Data included in this report are based on Orexo's forecast and available Abstral sales reports for Q1 from our partners.

Abstral – breakthrough pain in cancer patients

Sales of Abstral in the EU continue to grow and amounted to MEUR 18, which is an increase of 16 percent in Q1 2015 compared to Q1 2014. Orexo receives royalties on sales exceeding MEUR 42.5, which is expected to happen in early or mid Q3.

The US market for Abstral, i.e. fentanyl-based products for breakthrough pain, continues to grow. Net sales grew to MUSD 2.7, which is equal to a 27 percent increase in Q1 2015 compared to Q1 2014. In February, Orexo filed a patent infringement action against Actavis Laboratories FL, Inc. and the process is ongoing.

Sales of Abstral in the region RoW (markets excluding EU and the US) have continued to grow and a milestone payment of USD 50,000 was received upon registration approval in Korea in February. Total sales for the RoW reached MUSD 0.7 in Q1 2015, which is an increase of 155 percent compared with Q1 2014.

The launch of Abstral in Japan was successful. Due to that the market for treatment of breakthrough cancer pain with rapid acting fentanyl is still in the early stages, our commercial partner Kyowa Hakko Kirin is focusing on growing the market.

Edluar – treatment of short-term insomnia

Orexo has not yet received the final data for first six months sales for Edluar from its commercial partner Meda AB, hence the royalties are based on Orexo's estimate.

During the quarter Orexo reached a settlement agreement with Mylan in the US and there is currently no ongoing patent litigation processes related to Edluar and Orexo will not incur any further expenses related to this litigation.

Kibion - test and analytical instruments for diagnosing the gastric ulcer bacterium Helicobacter pylori

On April 30 the subsidiary Kibion AB was divested to a team of Swedish investors with a very solid background within diagnostics and gastroenterological diseases. The primary objective of the divestment was to further strengthen the core focus on the continued development of the pharmaceutical business and on maximizing the commercial potential of Zubsolv®.

Development programs

OX51 – prevention of acute episodes of pain

OX51 is a new sublingual formulation containing alfentanil. The project has been developed to meet the rapidly growing demand for effective pain relief during short surgical and diagnostic procedures.

A placebo-controlled dose-finding study in patients undergoing prostate biopsy was completed in 2013. The results supported a continuation of the development of OX51 to the next phase in development towards a new product. Work is ongoing to scale-up the manufacturing process and prepare for initiation of a phase III clinical trial.

The commercial potential of OX51 is estimated to be substantial and Orexo is presently in the process of identifying an optimal partner for phase III and commercialization in various geographies. Discussions are ongoing with several companies.

Collaboration projects

OX-MPI – PGE2-inhibition (Prostaglandin E2)

In August 2014, Boehringer Ingelheim returned the OX-MPI project to Orexo. Boehringer Ingelheim had been responsible for all research and development of OX-MPI since 2005.

Orexo has evaluated all data on the selected development compound from Boehringer Ingelheim and still sees value in the project and is now actively seeking a new external partner. The OX-MPI project is associated with an intangible fixed asset of MSEK 62 and this asset may be impaired if a final decision is taken to discontinue the project.

OX-CLI - respiratory tract diseases

In January 2013, Orexo entered into a collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca regarding OX-CLI, a preclinical program for potential new treatment of respiratory tract diseases. AstraZeneca is responsible for all development costs for the project.

The interim period January-June in figures

Revenues

The Zubsolv® Q2 revenue amounted to MSEK 91.1 (47.5) corresponding to a 92% growth over same period last year. Compared with Q1, 2015, Zubsolv revenue declined by 3.6% due to continued reduction of wholesaler inventory levels. The reduction of wholesaler inventory levels was primarily due to consumption of the 8.6mg/2.1 mg Zubsolv pipeline fill that was supplied to wholesalers during Q1, 2015, when the 8.6mg/2.1mg Zubsolv dosage was launched.

Despite a stable rolling four week volume market share of 5.9 percent the market demand (volume/IMS) contributed positively to Q2 Zubsolv revenue versus the Q1 level. The gross-to-net ratio in Q2 was marginally lower than in Q1 as a consequence of decline in the cash segment, which is the most profitable for Orexo. SEK/USD rate made a slightly positive contribution to Q2 revenue.

Q2 Zubsolv growth by key drivers 1)

1) Analysis based on IMS demand volume growth. Stocking is calculated as a residual and sanity checked with wholesaler data. Gross-to-net and currency components are actuals.

Total Abstral® royalties and milestone payments amounted to MSEK 27.8 (52.4) for the period April-June 2015 and to MSEK 69.6 (110.3) for the period January-June 2015. The decrease is explained by the lower Abstral fixed royalty. This royalty represents an amortization of the final fixed and unconditional payment related to the 2012 agreement with ProStrakan. The fixed royalty was fully recognized in the P&L by May 2015.

Royalty revenues from Edluar® amounted to MSEK 3.3 (3.6) for the period April-June 2015 and to MSEK 7.5 (7.5) for the period January-June 2015.

Kibion's revenue for the quarter amounted to MSEK 4.3 (12.1) as only April was included due to the divestment of Kibion.

Total revenues

Total revenues during the period April-June 2015 amounted to MSEK 126.5 (117.3) MSEK, an increase of 8 percent compared with the same period the previous year, driven by Zubsolv®. For the period January-June 2015 total revenues amounted to MSEK 275.5 (219.1).

Total net revenues were distributed as follows:

Costs and earnings

In this section, all references to future cost and spend levels are subject to changes of plan, the occurrence of unforeseen events and changes in exchange rates versus Swedish Kronor.

Cost of goods sold

The cost of goods sold amounted to MSEK 36.4 (24.8) for the period April-June 2015 and to MSEK 69.1 (41.6) for the period January-June 2015.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses amounted to MSEK 81.7 (55.1) for the period April-June 2015. Q2 selling expenses grew by 12% over Q1 driven by expansion of the field force and the launch of new marketing campaigns for Zubsolv in the US. The Q2 expense level is expected to stay approximately the same in Q3 and Q4. Selling expenses for the period January-June 2015 amounted to MSEK 154.8 (84.6).

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses for the period April-June 2015 amounted to MSEK 33.1 (27.7). Included are significant costs related to maintenance and protection of IP rights. For the period January-June 2015 the administrative expenses amounted to MSEK 64.8 (52.5). The expense level in H2, 2015, is expected to be approximately the same as in H1, but this is highly dependent on progress in and development of legal disputes.

Research and development costs

For the period April-June 2015, research and development costs amounted to MSEK 38.1 (50.5). This corresponds to 9% growth over Q1 2015 and is explained by the initiation of a new Zubsolv registry study in the US. For the period January-June 2015 R&D costs amounted to MSEK 73.2 (98.3). For the full year 2015, R&D costs are expected to end slightly above MSEK 200 and none of this will be capitalized.

Costs for long-term incentive program

The Group's total costs for employee stock option programs during the period April-June 2015 amounted to MSEK -8.4 (-1.3). The negative costs are due to reduced provisions for social security fees due to the development of the Orexo share price during the period. For the period January-June 2015 the costs amounted to MSEK -9.3 (-7.0).

Other income and expenses

Other income and expenses amounted to MSEK -14.5 (2.4) during the period April-June 2015 and include a loss on the sale of the subsidiary Kibion amounting to MSEK 5.3. In the calculation of the loss on the sale of Kibion only part of the total purchase price has been included. A potential three year earn-out payment will eventually more than compensate for the loss in Q2 when it is being recognized.

For the period January-June 2015 other income and expenses amounted to MSEK 1.0 (3.2). Except for the loss on divestment of Kibion other income and expenses primarily comprised exchange-rate gains/losses from revaluation of balance sheet items in foreign currency. The lower SEK/USD rate by the end of Q2 compared with Q1 explained the negative impact in Q2.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization amounted to MSEK 3.1 (2.5) for the period April-June 2015 and to MSEK 6.1 (4.9) for the period January-June.

Net financial items

Net financial items for the period April-June 2015 amounted to MSEK -5.7 (-9.8). All the net financial items are related to financing activities.

For the period January-June 2015 net financial items amounted to MSEK -11.3 (-13.7).

Earnings

Operating earnings amounted to MSEK -77.3 (-38.4) for the period April-June 2015 and to MSEK -85.4 (-54.7) for the period January-June 2015.

Cash-flow and financial position

At June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 282.1 (110.6) and interest-bearing liabilities to MSEK 493.1 (496.0).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK -35.6 (-228.2) for the period April-June 2015 driven by a negative contribution from operating earnings partly compensated by a reduction in working capital. Net working capital was primarily reduced by lower inventories and increased payables. Cash flow from operating activities for the period January-June amounted to MSEK -29.0 (-328.0).

The amount of MSEK 21.8 labelled Sale of subsidiary in the cash flow statement includes the cash portion of the upfront purchase price paid for Kibion, less Kibion's own cash position at closing. A deferred payment is included in the balance sheet and a potential 3 year earn-out is not included at all.

The financial position is considered adequate for Orexo to pursue the current strategy.

Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2015 was MSEK 369.0 (90.5). The equity/assets ratio was 31 (10) percent.

Investments in fixed assets

Gross investments in tangible and intangible fixed assets amounted to MSEK 1.2 (25.0) for the period April-June 2015. For the period January-June 2015 gross investments amounted to MSEK 2.2 (65.5).

Parent Company

Net revenues for the period January-June 2015 amounted to MSEK 208.8 (136.0). Earnings after financial items were MSEK -78.5 (-79.3). Investments amounted to MSEK 2.2 (65.2). As of June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents in the Parent Company amounted to MSEK 174.2 (80.3).

Risks and uncertainty factors

Significant risks and uncertainties are presented in the Annual Report for 2014. The overall risk has decreased since the approval of Zubsolv®. However, the launch of Zubsolv in the US will entail risk exposure of a more operational nature.
