Earnings Release • Aug 12, 2020

Six-month interim report (Q2) 2020 Company release No. 9/2020 (Unaudited)

ALK upgrades earnings outlook

ALK's overall sales in the Q2 low-season were in line with expectations given the COVID-19 pandemic, with tablet sales up 25%. Sublingual, home-based treatments in Europe and International markets were resilient to the impact of the pandemic, whereas sales of SCIT products, and sales in the USA, were most affected. In Q2, ALK saw earnings increase by 213% on the back of savings and delayed R&D expenditure.

Q2 2020 highlights

• Total revenue at DKK 772 million (785), showed zero growth in local currencies. Planned product discontinuations reduced growth by approximately 3 p.p. Currencies reduced reported growth by 1 p.p.
• Tablets saw growth of 25% to DKK 324 million (263), while combined SCIT and SLIT-drops sales were down 14% on the effects of COVID-19 and portfolio rationalisation.
• Operating profit (EBITDA) exceeded expectations and grew by 213% to DKK 75 million (24), reflecting savings and delayed R&D expenditure due to COVID-19.
• Free cash flow was positive, at DKK 6 million (negative at 132) and was ahead of plan, driven by higher earnings, and the re-phasing of investments and tax payments.
• Revenue for the first six months was up 5%, EBITDA was up 74% at DKK 273 million (157) and free cash flow was positive at DKK 27 million (negative at 149).

Update on the effects of COVID-19

• As expected, sales fluctuated during the Q2 low-season, particularly in the USA, as visits to allergy clinics became more difficult.
• Sales of tablets and drops, which can be self-administered at home, were resilient, although new patient initiations were constrained.
• Sales of SCIT products were most impacted, since they are typically administered in a clinic.
• Manufacturing and supply remained highly resilient and product inventories are still robust.
• ALK faces an elevated risk to its ongoing clinical programme. Patient recruitment for trials is still impacted which will likely lead to some delays.
• In late-Q2, there were early positive sales signals in multiple markets, supported by key indicators from ALK's digital patient engagement programme, and ALK continues to base its plans on an expected market recovery during H2 although the US market remains unpredictable.

2020 financial outlook

In light of the results for the first half of 2020 and the ongoing effects of COVID-19, ALK is updating its financial outlook for 2020 and upgrading EBITDA and cash flow forecasts. ALK's working assumption is that, during H2, the majority of markets will recover so that allergy patients are once again able and willing to visit healthcare professionals. ALK also expects that market conditions in the USA are likely to remain challenging over the short term. As a result:

• Revenue growth is currently tracking towards the lower end of the guided range of 8-12% due to the US market conditions. However, a stronger than expected recovery in the USA, or elsewhere, cannot be ruled out at this stage. Planned product discontinuation is still reducing growth by 4 p.p.
• Operating profit (EBITDA) is now expected to be DKK 300-350 million (previously 200-300).
• Free cash flow is now expected to be negative at approximately DKK 200 million (previously negative ~300).

COVID-19 UPDATE

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, ALK's focus remains on the continued supply of its products for people with allergy and allergic asthma, and on its readiness to maximise sales when the markets recover.

During Q2, sales of sublingual tablets and drops, which can be self-administered at home, were resilient to the impact of the pandemic, although new patient initiations were constrained. Meanwhile, the greatest impact was on sales of SCIT products, as these treatments often take place in a clinical setting, and on sales in the USA, where market conditions have been particularly challenging.

At the very end of Q2, as virus containment measures eased in multiple countries, especially in Europe, ALK began to see encouraging early signs of a sales recovery, with allergy patients once again able to visit healthcare professionals without significant limitations. In addition, key indicators from ALK's digital patient engagement programme suggest a backlog of patients who are keen to take action on their allergies. ALK therefore expects to be able to recover lost sales growth momentum during H2, which is typically when the majority of new allergy patients start treatment. However, the US market is expected to remain unpredictable.

In-house production continues as planned, thanks to the contingency measures that ALK has established, with precautions in place to secure both supply chain integrity and the well-being of employees. Inventories also remain robust so that ALK could maintain supply even in the event of any unanticipated interruption to production.

COVID-19 continues to affect ALK's planned clinical development activities as a consequence of virus

containment measures, as well as the wider pressure on hospitals and clinics. The recruitment of new patients for all studies were essentially put on hold. However, recently is was restarted for one of the clinical trials. Where possible, ALK aims to make up this lost time at a later date, however, delays to the clinical development programme are expected as the pandemic persists.

UPDATE ON BUSINESS PRIORITIES

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, ALK's long-term strategy remains unchanged, as do the strong, underlying drivers that support ALK's growth.

During Q2, progress continued on the three-year transformation programme, which has four areas of focus:

1. Succeed in North America

Sales across the North American portfolio were held back in Q2 by COVID-19. Consequently, overall sales in the region declined by 19%, with tablet sales down 16% as the flow of new patient initiations became highly constrained.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic, ALK continues to focus on building both the number of prescribers, and prescription depth for the tablets. In Q2, it launched its digital patient engagement platform in the USA which saw rapid adoption, likely in part due to the number of people staying at home.

Towards the end of the quarter, ALK saw very early signs of sales returning in the region. Despite this, the full-year sales-growth target for North America of 10% currently looks unlikely.

In June, ALK entered into an agreement with Otonomy for OTIPRIO®, a treatment for swimmer's ear. The product enhances ALK's offering to ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists, paediatricians, and selected primary care doctors, and expands coverage in ENT, which is a fast-growing segment for ALK in the USA.

2. Complete and commercialise the tablet portfolio for all relevant ages

Tablet sales continued their upward trajectory in Q2, so that sales increased 32% across the first half of the year – still on course for the targeted annual sales growth of 30% or greater – with ACARIZAX® and ITULAZAX® as the largest contributors.

Despite COVID-19, the roll-out of ITULAZAX® remains on schedule, with registration, pricing and reimbursement activities progressing well. As a result, new launches are currently planned for the second half of the year in Austria, Canada, Czechia, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

3. Patient engagement and adjacent business

ALK further ramped up its patient engagement activities during Q2 by launching its digital platform in Ireland, Slovakia and the USA and by further leveraging other digital resources in response to the limitations created by COVID-19 containment measures.

Current digital patient engagement activities prioritise interactions with the most suitable candidates for AIT, ahead of the high season for new treatment initiations later in the year.

By the end of H1, ALK had accumulated more than 400,000 (~95,000) two-way consumer relationships across its digital platforms, via which more than 300,000 online allergy tests had been completed. At the same time, ALK has already reached its full year target of mobilising more than 100,000 people to take action on their allergies. Additionally, there have been more than 500,000 downloads of ALK's new smartphone app to date.

ALK continues to support its partner Windgap Medical as it works to develop a new adrenaline auto-injector for the US market. An update on development progress and the potential future timing of a US registration application is expected within six-to-eight months.

4. Optimise and reallocate

ALK continued work to rationalise its product portfolio, with older, less competitive products being phased out in favour of documented, registered products. This work has now seen more than 300 products eliminated from the 2016 portfolio.

In addition, COVID-19 resilience and contingency measures have been put in place to ensure continuity in the supply of ALK's products. At the same time, site specialisation, optimisation efforts and investments in quality also continued, with the aim of improving longer-term efficiency in product supply.

Europe

Revenue in Europe fell by 2% in local currencies to DKK 540 million (555). Planned product discontinuations reduced growth by 5 percentage points so that, like-for-like, underlying sales of continuing products grew by 3%. Towards the end of the quarter, there were clear signs of a market recovery.

Tablet sales grew strongly, up 22% for the quarter, as the market continued its transition towards evidencebased, registered products, and self-administered, home-based treatments were resilient to the market challenges created by COVID-19.

Combined sales of SCIT and SLIT-drops decreased by 15%. This was partly attributable to portfolio rationalisation, and partly due to pandemic-related barriers to treatment for SCIT products in particular.

Sales of other products decreased by 11%, although sales of the adrenaline auto-injector Jext® increased 15% on continued strong demand. Sales of diagnostics and other products were significantly down due to COVID-19.

Sales in the most important markets of France and Germany were resilient despite the challenges of the pandemic. In Germany, ALK continued to gain significant market share, largely due to strong sales growth from the tablets. The Nordics also performed

well, with strong revenue growth, especially from tablets.

There were no major changes to the pricing and reimbursement of AIT products.

North America

Due to the impact of COVID-19, revenue in North America was DKK 130 million (164), which was down 19% organically in local currencies, and was below expectations. Sales of tablets fell 16%, while sales of bulk SCIT products were down 22%. Revenue from other products, including those of non-allergy related products and PRE-PEN®, which resumed shipments following issues at a supplier, was down 16%.

Overall market conditions were extremely challenging during Q2 such that, at one stage, ALK estimates that up to 50% of US allergy clinics were either fully or partially closed, and even those that were open, were seeing significantly fewer patients.

Tablet sales in Canada grew marginally, and were strongest towards the end of the quarter, signalling increased acceptance by prescribers.

International markets

Revenue in International markets was up 56% at DKK 102 million (66). This was slightly ahead of expectations and was driven by shipments of MITICURE™ and CEDARCURE™ to Torii in Japan. As in Europe, sales of tablets in Japan proved highly resilient to the impact of COVID-19. In addition, ALK saw double-digit growth in China.

6M FINANCIAL REVIEW

(Comparative figures for 2019 are shown in brackets. Revenue growth rates are organic stated in local currencies, unless otherwise indicated)

6M revenue increased by 5% in reported currency to DKK 1,728 million (1,652), broadly in-line with expectations. Exchange rate fluctuations did not materially impact reported revenue and organic growth in local currencies was also 5%.

Cost of sales decreased 2% in local currencies to DKK 707 million (721). The gross profit of DKK 1,021 million (931) yielded a gross margin of 59% (56%), and reflected changes in the product mix, increased sales – especially from tablets – but also lower sales of legacy products in Europe and significant costs associated with compliance efforts to secure robustness in product supply, as well as the implementation of the product and site strategy. Last year's figures also included a one-off divestmentrelated impairment equivalent to ~1.5 percentage points on the gross margin.

Capacity costs decreased 6% in local currencies to DKK 868 million (917). R&D expenses increased by 12% in local currencies in support of clinical trials, although this was lower than expected following delays to clinical activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly affected was the recruitment of patients for clinical trials – something that is likely to continue for the duration of 2020. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 11% in local currencies, reflecting savings as a consequence of COVID-19 restricting sales and marketing activities in many markets, and operational leverage of ALK's commercial activities. Administrative expenses decreased 7% (local currencies), largely as a consequence of certain one-off items in 2019.

EBITDA (operating profit before depreciation and

amortisation) increased 74% to DKK 273 million (157) and was significantly better than expected, reflecting savings and delayed R&D expenditure due to COVID-19. Exchange rates did have a small negative impact on operating profit.

Net financials were a loss of DKK 25 million (loss of 20) mainly relating to net interest expenses and currency fluctuations on intercompany loans. Tax on the profit totalled DKK 52 million (17) and net profit was DKK 76 million (a loss of 23).

Cash flow from operating activities was an inflow of DKK 154 million (outflow of 67) mainly as a consequence of the increased EBITDA, as well as changes in working capital. Cash flow from investing activities was DKK minus 127 million (minus 82) mainly relating to upgrades to legacy production and the build-up of capacity for SLIT-tablet production.

Free cash flow was DKK 27 million (minus 149) which was better than expected due to higher earnings.

Cash flow from financing activities was DKK minus 45 million (minus 41), mainly relating to the settlement of incentive programmes.

At the end of June, ALK held 224,771 of its own shares or 2.0% of the share capital, versus 2.2% at the end of 2019, and 2.3% at the end of June 2019.

At the end of June, cash and marketable securities totalled DKK 292 million, versus DKK 207 million at the end of Q2 2019 and DKK 316 million at the end of 2019. In addition, ALK has an unused credit facility of DKK 600 million which runs until 2022.

Equity totalled DKK 3,243 million (3,157) at the end of the period, and the equity ratio was 57% (62%).

OUTLOOK FOR 2020

In light of the results for the first half of 2020 and the ongoing effects of COVID-19, ALK is updating its financial outlook for 2020 and upgrading EBITDA and cash flow forecasts. ALK's working assumption is that, during H2, the majority of markets will recover so that allergy patients are once again able and willing to visit healthcare professionals. ALK also expects that market conditions in the USA are likely to remain challenging over the short term. As a result:

• Organic revenue growth is currently tracking towards the lower end of the guided range of 8- 12% in local currencies due to the US market conditions. However, a stronger than expected recovery in the USA, or elsewhere, cannot be ruled out at this stage. Planned product discontinuation is still reducing growth by 4 p.p.
• Operating profit (EBITDA) is upgraded and now expected to be DKK 300-350 million (previously 200-300).
• Free cash flow is upgraded and now expected to be negative at approximately DKK 200 million (previously negative ~300).

Revenue

ALK still expects growth across its Europe and International sales regions in 2020, with tablets as the key growth driver with growth of 30% or more, so that they are expected to become ALK's largest single product category for the first time. In North America, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 means that the fullyear sales-growth target for this region of 10% is currently viewed as unlikely.

Revenue growth is still expected to be strongest towards the end of the year, in particular, due to assumed timing of market recovery ahead of the high season for AIT treatment initiations and the expected timing of tablet shipments to Torii in Japan.

Gross margin

The reported gross margin for the full year is still expected to be roughly on a par with 2019, benefiting from increased sales – especially from tablets, with higher volumes absorbed by existing capacity – offset by changes in the product mix and increased lower gross-margin shipments of tablets to ALK's partner for Japan, Torii. The gross margin also reflects significant costs associated with compliance efforts to secure robustness in product supply as well as with the implementation of the product and site strategy.

EBITDA

The upgraded EBITDA now reflects the effects of the coronavirus pandemic whereby capacity costs are expected to be lower than originally planned, particularly in R&D, where costs are currently forecast to be DKK 500-550 million (previously ~600 million).

Cash flow

The improved free cash flow now reflects higher earnings, lower corporate tax payments, and other changes to working capital (phasing of employee tax payments in Denmark). Working capital includes an expected repayment of accrued rebate adjustments related to previous years. CAPEX is still projected at DKK 250-300 million, with investments focused on streamlining the manufacturing footprint and further specialisation at ALK's production sites.

Other assumptions

The outlook does not include any revenue from acquisitions, new partnerships or in-licensing of adjacent products and services, nor does it include any sizeable payments related to future M&As or inlicensing activities. The outlook is based on current exchange rates, resulting in an immaterial effect on both reported revenue and reported EBITDA.

RISK FACTORS

This interim report contains forward-looking statements, including forecasts of future revenue, operating profit and cash flow as well as expected business-related events. Such statements are naturally subject to risks and uncertainties, as various factors, some of which are beyond the control of ALK, may cause actual results and performance to differ materially from the forecasts made in this announcement. Without being exhaustive, such factors include e.g., general economic and businessrelated conditions, including legal issues, uncertainty relating to demand, pricing, reimbursement rules, partners' plans and forecasts, fluctuations in exchange rates, competitive factors and reliance on suppliers. Additional factors include the risks associated with the sourcing and manufacturing of ALK's products as well as the potential for side effects from the use of ALK's existing and future products, as allergy immunotherapy may be associated with allergic reactions of differing extents, durations and severities. The emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, and the

extent and duration of countermeasures against the virus, represent additional uncertainties that may also affect forward-looking statements.

NOTES

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This non-audited interim report for the first six months of 2020 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the additional Danish regulations for the presentation of quarterly interim reports by listed companies. The Interim report for the first six months of 2020 follows the same accounting policies as the annual report for 2019, except for new, amended or revised accounting standards and interpretations (IFRSs) endorsed by the EU effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2020. These IFRSs have not had any impact on the Group's interim report.

Starting from Q1 2020, the method for quarterly allocation of the total expected annual tax on profit/loss in the income statement was changed to better reflect the quarterly split of tax in the taxing jurisdictions in the ALK Group. Consequently, compative figures for 2019 have been adjusted. The change does not impact the total annual tax in the income statement.
