CEO's comments

This has been an exciting period for Orexo. The most significant event in the first quarter was that Abstral®, our product for cancer breakthrough pain, was approved in the US, which is potentially its best market. Our partner ProStrakan launched Abstral in the US early in the second quarter, and our initial sales royalties are expected to slightly exceed MSEK 18.

Reaching new markets is crucial for our continued growth and -sales continue to rise in our existing markets in Europe. In the first quarter, our royalty revenues from this area rose 65 percent year-on-year, which means that Abstral now accounts for more than half of our total product revenues.

We also out-licensed Abstral in remaining major markets in Asia and Australia to Invida, a very strong regional partner. Invida will apply for approval in several potentially major markets, such as Australia, India, Indonesia, South Korea and Taiwan.

Abstral is not only a key product for us, but also for ProStrakan, our sales and marketing partner in North America and most of Europe. Now that our Japanese partner for Abstral, Kyowa Hakko Kirin, has acquired ProStrakan, we feel confident that by combining the knowledge, organization and resources of these two companies, Abstral is even better positioned for continued success.

In the future, we intend to build own success mainly on proprietary products, which is why Orexo adopted a new strategy in autumn 2010. As a result, we started three programs aimed at developing products that Orexo will sell through its own organization in the US or in Europe. The programs are based on our expertise in creating new and better therapies from existing pharmaceuticals. Our new programs have developed rapidly and this progress continued during the first quarter. In February, we had a successful meeting with the FDA concerning OX219, where our development plan was confirmed. An application for permission to start the next major study is now being prepared as part of this project.

Positive clinical data was reported for OX51, a new sublingual formulation of an existing treatment of acute intensive pain episodes, some of which are not treated optimally today. The next study in this program is planned to commence later this year.

In the third program OX27 for the treatment of breakthrough pain in cancer patients, all patients in the study have been recruited and we will present the results in the second quarter.

In order to drive all three development programs to a successful and fast product launch, we are now implementing a rights issue for shareholders and holders of the company's convertibles. In connection with this, Novo A/S may strengthen its ownership and Orexo will also gain strong new investors. The fact that major shareholders have such confidence in us is a sign of strength.

I would also like to mention our research collaborations that continue to develop according to plan. The OX17 program is progressing in collaboration with our partner Novartis. The partnership with Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Janssen Pharmaceutica NV (OMJ) concerning Orexo's arachidonic acid programs, OX-CLI and OX-ESI, is also developing well. The drug candidate that Boehringer Ingelheim chose for the OX-MPI program is being prepared to enter the clinical phase.

To conclude, Orexo continues to deliver in line with its strategy to become a specialty pharma company.

Anders Lundström President and CEO

Key events for the period

A long-term incentive program adopted

The Extraordinary General Meeting on February 16, 2011 adopted a long-term incentive program for 2011/2021 for senior executives.

Key events after the close of the period

Abstral launched and available in the US

In early April, Orexo's partner ProStrakan launched Abstral in the US. Royalty revenues due to inventory build-up in the US are estimated at MSEK 18.3.

Kyowa Hakko Kirin acquires ProStrakan

In February, Orexo's partner for Abstral in Japan, Kyowa Hakko Kirin, made an offer for the ProStrakan Group plc., which is Orexo's partner for Abstral in the US and Europe. The transaction was approved on April 21. Orexo's opinion is that we have a stronger partner for sales of Abstral as a result of this transaction.

Board structure decided by AGM

The Annual General Meeting on April 7, 2011 decided to re-elect Michael Shalmi, Staffan Lindstrand, Kjell Strandberg, Ray Hill and Bengt Samuelsson as members of the Board of Directors and Håkan Åström was re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Orexo announces preferential rights issue – see separate press release

Orexo announced that the Board of Directors had decided, subject to approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting, to implement a rights issue with preferential rights for existing shareholders and holders of the company's convertibles 2010/2015 – for more information, please see separate press release.

Operations

Launched products

Revenues from launched products rose 27 percent to MSEK 27.0 (21.3) during the first quarter of 2011.

Royalty revenues from Abstral® increased 65 percent to MSEK 14.0, compared with MSEK 8.5 for the corresponding period in the preceding year. Sales of the product rose 18 percent compared with the last quarter of 2010. This increase is mainly due to continued success in most European markets.

Revenues from Abstral sales increased by more than 65 percent

The bars refer to invoiced sales from our partner ProStrakan Group plc to wholesalers.

Royalty revenues from Edluar™ amounted to MSEK 0.7 for the period.

Sales for Diabact® UBT and Heliprobe® System amounted to MSEK 8.7 (9.9) for the period, which is weaker than expected. The main reason for the decline is that orders from a small number of large markets were postponed until the second quarter together with the negative exchange rate effect of MSEK 0.4.

Orexo's proportion of ProStrakan AB's sales rose 24 percent to MSEK 3.6 (2.9). Sales for Abstral through ProStrakan AB rose 53 percent to MSEK 2.6 (1.7).

Collaborative projects

Revenues from new and existing licensing agreements amounted to MSEK 7.4 (6.3) for the period. These comprise a recognized portion of the non-recurring upfront payment made by Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Janssen Pharmaceutica NV (OMJ) and the upfront payment from the Invida Group Pte Limited of MSEK 0.9.

Proprietary development programs

After a successful meeting with the US FDA in February, Orexo decided to continue developing the OX219 program. As part of this project, an application for permission to start the next major study is in preparation. The project is to compete in the market for opiate addiction, which is globally valued at

approximately USD 1.4 billion, predominantly in the US (app. USD 1 billion). The market is currently dominated by Suboxone (Reckitt Benckiser).

Positive clinical data were reported for OX51, a new sublingual formulation of an existing treatment of acute intensive pain episodes, some of which are not optimally treated today. The project has the potential to address a market with approximately 130 million pain episodes annually in the US and the EU.

The clinical study with OX27 for the treatment of breakthrough pain in cancer patients was completed and the results will be reported in the second quarter of 2011. The program relates to a fast-acting, sublingual formulation of an existing pharmaceutical that is designed for effective treatment of breakthrough pain episodes that can affect cancer patients.

The OX17 program is progressing in collaboration with partner Novartis. The partnership with OMJ concerning Orexo's arachidonic acid programs, OX-CLI and OX-ESI, is also developing well. The drug candidate that Boehringer Ingelheim selected in the OX-MPI program is being prepared for entry into the clinical phase.

Revenues

Net revenue

Net revenues for January-March 2011 amounted to MSEK 41.5 (36.4). The increase was primarily due to higher royalty revenues from Abstral® and Edluar™ .

Net revenues were distributed as follows:

MSEK Jan-March Jan-March Jan-Dec
2011 2010 2010
Abstral - royalty 14.0 8.5 42.2
Edluar - royalty 0.7 - 1.3

Total 41.5 36.4 210.5

Expenses and earnings

Selling expenses

Selling expenses for the period January-March 2011 amounted to MSEK 12.2 (7.4). Selling expenses include business development expenses relating to the out-licensing of Orexo's projects, phase IV studies, operations in the subsidiary Kibion AB and joint venture company ProStrakan AB. Higher expenses were mainly due to the increased costs of the ongoing phase IV studies for Abstral, market-related activities for Orexo's project portfolio and increased selling expenses in Kibion AB and ProStrakan AB.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses for the period January-March 2011 amounted to MSEK 12.2 (8.8). The higher expenses were mainly due to the recruitment of a new CEO and for the implementation of a long-term incentive program 2011/2021 for senior executives.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs for the period January-March 2011 amounted to MSEK 47.4 (41.9), of which MSEK 7.2 (8.8) is covered by Orexo's partners, Novartis, Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Janssen Pharmaceutica NV (OMJ). The higher costs were primarily due to activities in phase I studies relating to Orexo's proprietary programs.

Expenses for the company's employee stock options program

The company's expenses for the employee stock options program for the first quarter totaled MSEK 1.4, excluding implementation costs, compared with MSEK 1.7 for the year-earlier period.

Other revenues and expenses

Other revenue and expenses for the period January-March 2011 comprise mainly exchange rate profits/ losses and totaled an expense of MSEK 0.2 (revenue: 1.3).

Depreciation/amortization

Depreciation/amortization for the period January-March 2011 amounted to MSEK 1.9 (2.0).

Net financial items

Net financial items for the period January-March 2011 totaled expenses of MSEK 2.6 (expense: 0.9). Net financial items include interest expenses of MSEK 2.9 relating to the convertible loan.

Earnings

Orexo posted an operating loss for the period January-March 2011 of MSEK 36.6 (loss: 26.7).

Financial position

Group cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2011 amounted to MSEK 150.3 (50.4).

Cash flow from operating activities for the period January-March 2011 amounted to an inflow of MSEK 16.3 (outflow: 19.7).

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2011 totaled MSEK 427.8 (519.2). The equity/assets ratio was 64 (87) percent.

Current financing is sufficient to pursue all projects in Orexo's development portfolio through clinical phase I, and also to take at least one of these projects through to approval, without further milestone payments from outlicensed research and development projects.

To pursue all three proprietary development programs through to launch, Orexo is now implementing a preferential rights issue. With regard to existing liquidity, Orexo deems that the working capital after the rights issue will be sufficient to meet working capital needs for at least the next 12 months.

Investments

Gross investments in tangible fixed assets for the period January-March 2011 totaled MSEK 1.9 (1.3).

Seasonal variations

Orexo's operations are not affected by seasonal variations. However, sales of pharmaceutical in new markets can be affected by inventory build-ups, particularly in the launching phase.

Parent Company

Most of the Group's business is carried out in the Parent Company, Orexo AB. Net revenues for the period January-March 2011 totaled MSEK 22.6 (24.7), with the loss after financial items amounting to MSEK 49.2 (loss: 24.3). Investments totaled MSEK 1.9 (1.3). Cash and cash equivalents in the Parent Company at March 31, 2011 totaled MSEK 48.4 (15.1), with current investments amounting to MSEK 0.0 (0.0).

Significant risks and uncertainties

Significant risks and uncertainties are disclosed in the Annual Report 2010. Since the Annual Report was issued, no significant changes to the business risks and uncertainties have occurred.

Financial risks

Due to a milestone payment from Boehringer Ingelheim in relation to the OX-MPI project that was recognized as income in December 2010, Orexo's financial risks have been reduced slightly.

Share and market value

Orexo's share traded at SEK 47.40 on April 19, 2011. The company's market value, based on the number of shares outstanding on April 19, 2011, amounted to MSEK 1,109.

Orexo in brief

Orexo is a pharmaceutical company with focus on the therapeutic areas of pain and inflammation. Orexo has four products on the market, several significant partnerships and three proprietary development projects. Orexo's launched pharmaceuticals are Abstral™, for the treatment of breakthrough pain in cancer patients which is sold by Kyowa Hakko Kirin/ ProStrakan Group plc. in Europe and the US, insomnia treatment tablet Edluar™ which is sold by Meda in the US, and two products Diabact® UBT / Heliprobe® System for diagnosing the gastric ulcer bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, through its subsidiary Kibion.

Objective, business concept and strategy

Revenues from launched pharmaceuticals and partnerships are enabling Orexo to build a portfolio of proprietary products, which are to be marketed and sold through its own organization in Europe or in the US. The objective is that Orexo will become a fully integrated specialist pharmaceutical company.

Existing partnerships are key strategic assets, from both a financial and competence perspective. Three of the out-licensed projects build on Orexo's knowledge in the arachidonic acid cascade. The aim is to develop completely new pharmaceuticals for the treatment of major diseases, including inflammatory pain and respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. Orexo's partners in this area are Boehringer Ingelheim, Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Janssen Pharmaceutica NV (OMJ).

Within its three proprietary development projects, each of which is in the clinical phase, Orexo focuses on pain relief and anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals with one program in opioid dependence. The company combines well-known substances with innovative drug-delivery technologies to create new patented pharmaceuticals that provide improved or new treatments. These pharmaceuticals can often be developed with lower risk and in shorter time spans than new drug molecules. Orexo also has partnerships in this area.

Business model

Orexo's business model is to create profitability through sales of launched products, through its own infrastructure or through partners, and through partnership and licensing agreements. Since 2010, Orexo has also focused on building a portfolio of proprietary pharmaceuticals that will be sold through its own organization in the EU or the US.

Review report

We have reviewed the appended report for the period January 1 to March 31, 2011 for Orexo AB (publ). The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim report in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, as issued by FAR. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different direction and is substantially more restricted in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden RS and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the appended year-end report has not in all significant respects been compiled in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and IAS 34 and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

The number of shares outstanding at December 31, 2010, was 23,403,752, all of which were common shares. All shares carry entitlement to one vote each.

The number of shares outstanding increased through the exercise of employee stock options; see table below. At March 31, 2011, these shares had not been registered at Euroclear.

Number of shares outstanding at January 1, 2011 23,403,752

At March 31, 2011, a total of 3,040,759 options were outstanding that carry rights to new subscription of 2,870,661 shares in Orexo and to be exchanged for 170,098 options for shares in Orexo. Each option issued by Biolipox AB provides entitlement to the exchange of one share in Orexo AB, and a corresponding number of shares are held by the independent company Pyrinox AB.

The list below shows the change in the number of options during the period January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011 distributed by category.

Total options to employees 1,517,941 1,522,818 3,040,759

All information regarding options issued by Orexo AB has been restated to take into account the 1:250 share split conducted in November 2005. The 2005 Annual Report states that older option certificates provide entitlement to subscribe for 250 shares after the split. The reported data regarding options issued by Orexo AB refer to the number of shares to which each option provides entitlement to subscribe for shares following the share split. All data regarding options issued by Biolipox AB are restated using a factor of 0.45854, which corresponds to the computed value of the options related to the share price for the Orexo share on the acquisition date. The reported data regarding the options issued by Biolipox refer to the number of shares for which each option may be exchanged after recalculation.

During the period January-March 2011, a total of 750 employee stock options from Orexo's options program were exercised. During the period January-March 2011, a total of 1,890 of Biolipox' employee stock options were exercised, entailing that holders exercised their options in exchange for 1,890 shares held by the independent company Pyrinox AB. This exercise did not entail the issue of any new shares by Orexo.

Costs for the program pertain to the expected cost of the value of employee earnings during the period, as measured at market value on the date of distribution, and to the portion of estimated social security expenses related to the increase in value that was vested during the period. The company will have to pay social security expenses on gains that may arise in connection with the exercise of employee stock options, calculated as the difference between the redemption price of the employee stock options and the market value of the share. All things being equal, this means that a rise in the share price during the quarter increases the costs of the estimated social security fees.

The social security fees that could arise due to the employee stock option have been hedged financially and thus also in terms of cash flow through the issuance of warrants to a subsidiary of Orexo. This hedging does not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS.

Allotment in March

During 2011, Orexo introduced a performance-based, long-term incentive program that prior to exercise comprises performance shares that provide entitlement to subscription of a total of 1,540,000 Orexo shares. A condition for entitlement to acquire new shares through the exercise of performance shares is that each employee fulfills certain vesting conditions. Of the total number of performance shares allotted, 50 percent are vested on the basis of time and internal operational goals ("time-based performance shares") and 50 percent is based on the share-price trend and the relative share performance ("share-price based performance shares"). Of these performance shares, 500,000 performance shares, of which 250,000 are time-based and 250,000 shareprice based performance shares, were allotted free of charge to the President on March 7, 2011. The subscription price for the performance shares providing entitlement to subscription of 500,000 shares and that were allotted in March 2011 has been set at SEK 44.4. The final date for exercising the option is December 31, 2021.

New program resolved by the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting also resolved to adopt a new Board of Directors' shareholder program comprising the issuance of not more than 24,000 warrants and approval of control over the warrants within the framework of ramen the Board of Directors' shareholder program. Members of the Board who participate in Orexo's Board of Directors' shareholder program will receive 50 percent of their director fee and any fee for committee work in cash and will be allotted Board of Directors' shares up to a total that on the allotment date corresponds to a value of 50 percent of the director fee and any fee for committee work. A condition for entitlement to acquire new shares under the Board of Directors' shareholder program is that the Member of the Board remains on the Board of Directors throughout his or her elected period in office. It will be possible to exercise each Board of Directors' share for the acquisition of one Orexo share in return for payment of a redemption amount set at the quotient value of the Orexo share.

6. Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

During 2010, the Inflazyme project was discontinued, which entailed that the entire supplementary purchase consideration is recognized as a contingent liability of MSEK 43.9.

As cash-flow hedging for social security fees pertaining to the employee stock options issued by Biolipox, warrants were issued to Pyrinox AB. Orexo has pledged to handle any deficits exceeding the cover provided by the warrants during their lifetime through December 31, 2016.

Orexo acquired the British drug company PharmaKodex in February 2009. This corporate acquisition includes conditional payments based on license revenues from the current PharmaKodex program and technologies, as well as on payments for certain milestones that are not recognized as a liability.

The overdraft facility of MSEK 35 that was secured from Nordea during the period led to a rise in chattel mortgages to MSEK 44 and pledging of all shares of Kibion AB.
