It has been an eventful and very positive period since our last report. We have seen strong data for Leqembi, a clear increase in sales, continued progress in our development portfolio, and successfully held our first Capital Markets Day. After the end of the second quarter, we also signed a new collaboration agreement with another of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. We are already starting to deliver on our newly launched ambitions for 2030.
I am particularly excited about our new agreement with Novartis, announced this week. It differs from our previous collaborations as it combines our BrainTransporter™ technology with one of Novartis' own drug candidates. This is an important recognition of the growing need for precision neurology and of the unique potential of our BrainTransporter platform in particular. The agreement includes an upfront payment of USD 30 million to BioArctic. In the initial research collaboration, we will develop a new drug candidate by combining the Brain-Transporter technology with an antibody developed by Novartis. Should Novartis decide to exercise its option after the evaluation, they will assume full responsibility for global development and commercialization. This could result in additional milestone payments of up to USD 772 million, as well as tiered mid-single digit, royalties on future global sales. The agreement highlights the increasing recognition that future treatments for brain diseases will likely require innovative delivery mechanisms – and that our technology is at the forefront of this transformation.
Turning to Leqembi, we continue to see strong momentum. Sales increased significantly during the quarter and our royalty revenue reached SEK 162.5 million – an increase of around 280 percent compared with the same quarter last year, and approximately 60 percent compared with the previous quarter. We are looking forward to seeing the development in the EU
now that the launch has just started in Austria and soon also in Germany. In the Nordics, Eisai has now submitted dossiers regarding price and recommended use to all relevant authorities in all countries and the launch preparations are progressing as planned. The growing number of patients benefiting from Leqembi also means that more and more data is being generated on how the drug works outside of clinical trials. At the AAIC conference (Alzheimer's Association International Conference) at the end of July, several presentations addressed precisely this. One of the highlights was data from an ongoing real world evidence study at nine clinics in the USA, which showed that 84 percent of patients treated with Leqembi remained stable or improved after an average of one year of treatment, while safety data were in line with phase 3. These are very strong data, and I look forward to seeing results from the full study towards the end of 2025. Eisai also presented new data from the phase 3 open label extension study, showing that for patients treated with lecanemab for four years, the disease progression was delayed by about a year compared to the natural course of the disease, and the benefit increased the longer the patients remained on treatment. Lastly, data from studies regarding the subcutaneous dosing form of Leqembi, which supported the application currently being reviewed by the FDA in terms of pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety and usage. Subcutaneous dosing will allow patients to easily and within 15 seconds be treated at home, enabling continued treatment without visiting an infusion center.
In addition to Eisai's presentations at AAIC, new guidelines for the use of blood biomarkers in the diagnosis process were presented. This will have a major impact on the possibility to find and diagnose more patients at an early stage, which is important for achieving the best possible effect with Leqembi. An indirect treatment comparison study was also presented, concluding that Leqembi has the lowest risk of ARIA-related side effects out of the two anti-amyloid antibodies available on the market.
Exidavnemab, our most advanced project within alpha-synucleopathies such as Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy (MSA), has made considerable progress during the quarter. First and foremost, the first part of the phase 2a study has been completed with results that support continued development and have allowed us to proceed to the higher dose in the second part of the study. Initially, we intended to include only Parkinson's patients but will now also include twelve MSA

We are already starting to deliver on our newly launched ambitions for 2030.
patients in part two. This is particularly important as we have received orphan designation for exidavnemab in both the US and EU for the MSA indication, which among other things enables a faster development path going forward.
Finally, at our capital markets day, we launched our ambitions for 2030 focused on establishing Leqembi as treatment for Alzheimer's disease, building a broader and more balanced pipeline, adding more global long-term partnerships and becoming sustainably profitable, enabling recurring dividends. To achieve this, we will increase our investments in innovation while broadening our focus in severe brain diseases. Guided by our 2030 ambitions, we will continue to build BioArctic for the benefit of both patients and shareholders.
With steadily increasing royalty revenues, a drug soon ready for launch in Europe and the Nordics, an additional Brain-Transporter partnership, and an organization prepared for the next step on our journey, the future looks bright for BioArctic.

In Alzheimer's disease, the amyloid beta protein clumps together into increasingly larger aggregates in the brain – from the harmless form with a normal function (monomers) to larger forms such as oligomers, protofibrils, fibrils and finally amyloid plaques containing fibrils. Oligomers and protofibrils are considered the most harmful forms of amyloid beta that initiate the process of Alzheimer's disease.
BioArctic has developed several unique and selective antibodies with the potential to slow or halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The drug lecanemab is approved in the US, Japan, China, Great Britain, in the EU and several other countries under the brand name Leqembi. The development and the commerzialisation of Leqembi against Alzheimer's disease is being financed and pursued by BioArctic's partner Eisai. Eisai co-owns the rights to another antibody called lecanemab back-up and has a research evaluation agreement regarding BAN2802 that uses BioArctic's BrainTransporter technology. BioArctic has also out-licensed two projects to Bristol Meyers Squibb, where one of the projects, BAN2803, is combined with the BrainTransporter technology.
Drug lecanemab (collaboration with Eisai), brand name Leqembi
Lecanemab, which is the result of a long-term strategic research collaboration between BioArctic and Eisai, is a humanized monoclonal antibody against Alzheimer's disease. Eisai is responsible for the clinical development and the commerzialisation of lecanemab in Alzheimer's disease. The project is based on research from BioArctic, Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet, Sweden.
Lecanemab has a unique binding profile. The antibody selectively binds to, neutralizes and eliminates soluble toxic amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregates (protofibrils) that are thought to drive the neurodegenerative process in Alzheimer's disease, but also removes insoluble aggregates (fibrils) that make up the plaque in the brain and are associated with the disease.
Results from the large pivotal Phase 3 study Clarity AD showed that lecanemab reduced clinical decline from baseline compared to placebo with 27 percent, with high statistical significance (p=0.00005), with less than one percent of patients experiencing severe adverse events.
An open-label extension study of Clarity AD is ongoing, and Eisai has presented four-year data showing that lecanemab
treatment continues to provide increasing benefit in patients with a maintained safety profile. In addition, data from the patient group in the earliest stages of the disease show that 69% of patients remained stable or showed improvement in cognition and function after four years.
Since July 2020, Eisai's phase 3 study (AHEAD 3-45) of lecanemab for individuals with preclinical Alzheimer's disease, having intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains but no symptoms, is ongoing. The program aims to investigate whether four-year treatment with lecanemab can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in this group. The study is fully recruited, and results are expected in 2028.
Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for individuals with Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD) is ongoing, in which lecanemab is given as a background treatment in combination with a treatment targeting the protein tau to see if the treatments can slow or stop the progression of the disease. This clinical trial is conducted by the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU) consortium.
On April 15, 2025, the European Commission granted Marketing Authorisation for lecanemab which applies to all 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
Lecanemab has to date been approved in over 45 markets. During the second quarter and up until publication of this report, the drug was approved in the EU, Qatar, Singapore, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain.
In January 2025 the USFDA approved Eisai's Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for less frequent intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing with lecanemab. Further, the authority accepted Eisai's application for subcutaneous maintenance treatment with autoinjector with lecanemab. The PDUFA date was set to August 31, 2025.
The antibody is a refined version of lecanemab for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and was developed in collaboration with Eisai, resulting in a new license agreement in 2015. Eisai runs and finances this preclinical stage project.
Drug project BAN2802 (research evaluation agreement with Eisai)
BAN2802 is a potential new antibody treatment against Alzheimer's disease which is combined with the blood-brain barrier technology, BrainTransporter (BT), to enhance the uptake of drug in the brain. In April 2024, BioArctic entered into a research agreement with Eisai regarding BAN2802, a project that Eisai, after evaluation, has an option to in-license for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
BioArctic has signed a global outlicensing agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb for the antibody projects BAN1503 and BAN2803 in Alzheimer's disease. The projects target a shorter (truncated) form of amyloid beta (PyroGlu-Aβ). BAN2803 includes BioArctic's BrainTransporter technology.
BioArctic's antibodies for misfolded aggregated alpha-synuclein have the potential to be efficacious disease-modifying treatments for synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease. Exidavnemab (BAN0805) is a monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to and eliminates neurotoxic aggregated forms of alpha-synuclein.
Drug candidate Exidavnemab (BAN0805) and PD-BT2238
BioArctic develops disease-modifying treatments for synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy. Exidavnemab is a monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to and eliminates neurotoxic aggregated forms of alpha-synuclein. The goal is to develop a disease modifying treatment that stops or slows down disease progression. The project is based on research from Uppsala University.
Substance patents have been granted for exidavnemab in the US, Japan and now also in Europe until 2041, with a possible extension to 2046.
The results from two phase 1 studies with exidavnemab showed that the substance was generally well tolerated, with a half-life of approximately 30 days.
During the fourth quarter 2024, BioArctic initiated a phase 2a study (Exist)of exidavnemab in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
During the second quarter of 2025, the first part of the study was completed and the safety review supported progressing to the next stage with a higher dos. The second part of the phase 2a has now been initiated and will include two cohorts, one with Parkinson's disease and one with multiple system atrophy (MSA). In addition to the primary endpoints of safety and tolerability, a broad range of biomarkers will be evaluated, in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and using digital measurements.
Exidavnemab has been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of MSA in both the US and EU.
BioArctic's project portfolio in Parkinson's disease also includes PD-BT2238, a project which combines a selective antibody directed against soluble alpha-synuclein aggregates (socalled oligomers and protofibrils) with BioArctic's BrainTransporter technology.
BioArctic aims to improve the treatment of a number of central nervous system disorders. The company is evaluating the possibility of developing both existing as well as new antibodies against other diseases in the central nervous system.
Drug candidate lecanemab (indications other than Alzheimer's disease, owned by BioArctic)
Lecanemab can potentially also be used for other indications which in that case would be owned by BioArctic. The antibody is in the preclinical phase as a potential treatment of cognitive disorders in conjunction with for example Down's syndrome and as a result of traumatic brain injury. BioArctic has presented findings supporting that lecanemab also could be developed into a disease modifying treatment benefiting individuals with Down's syndrome with dementia.
Project ND3014, ND-BT3814 and GD-BT6822 (owned by BioArctic)
The drug projects ND3014 and ND-BT3814 are focused on developing antibody drugs against TDP-43, a protein that is believed to play a key role in the development of the rare neurodegenerative disease ALS. The ND-BT3814 project is linked to BioArctic's blood-brain barrier technology. The projects are in research phase.
BioArctic's project portfolio also include a project focused on enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease in combination with the company's BrainTransporter technology to address the CNS-symptoms of the disease.
BioArctic's BrainTransporter technology facilitates the passage of biological drugs, such as antibodies, into the brain. This groundbreaking platform technology is being applied to select in-house drug projects and is included in BAN2803 which BioArctic has outlicensed to Bristol Myers Squibb and in the research evaluation agreement with Eisai regarding BAN2802. BioArctic has retained all other rights of use for the BrainTransporter technology. The opportunities for future collaborations with other pharmaceutical companies in various disease areas and out licensing of this platform technology are considered substantial.
The blood-brain barrier controls the passage of substances between the blood and the brain. It protects the brain from harmful substances, but at the same time makes it difficult for drugs to reach the brain. BioArctic has developed a BrainTransporter technology, which has demonstrated a profound increase and improved exposure of antibodies in the brain.
At the PEGS conference in Barcelona in November 2024 results were presented that showed that BioArctic's BrainTransporter technology could provide up to 70 times higher brain exposure of amyloid-beta antibodies, with a rapid, broad, and deep distribution of the antibodies throughout the brain.
The technology has the potential to generate better effects and fewer side effects with lower doses compared to current treatments. The BrainTransporter technology is being used in five projects, two in Alzheimer's disease, BAN2802 (Eisai), BAN2803 (BMS), one in Parkinson´s disease, PD-BT2238, one in ALS, ND-BT3814, and one in Gaucher disease, GD-BT6822. The technology, which is now in the pre-clinical phase, has significant potential to enhance many treatments for diseases of the brain.
In December 2024, BioArctic and Bristol Myers Squibb signed a global exclusive license agreement for BioArctic's PyroGlutamate-amyloid-beta antibody program, which includes the Alzheimer's projects BAN1503 and BAN2803, of which the latter utilizes BioArctic's BrainTransporter technology.
In August 2025, BioArctic signed an option, collaboration and license agreement with Novartis Pharma AG regarding a potential new treatment combining BioArctic's proprietary BrainTransporter technology with an undisclosed target in neurodegeneration.

Revenues consist of milestone payments, royalty, co-promotion and payments related to research agreements. Due to the nature of the business operations, revenues may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, as revenues from milestone payments are recognized at the point in time when performance obligations are fulfilled.
Net revenues in the second quarter amounted to SEK 392.1 M (49.8). Net revenues included a milestone payment of SEK 223.1 M (-) from Eisai and SEK 162.5 M (42.6) in royalties for Leqembi sales, mainly for the USA, Japan and China. The increase in sales in China is partly a one-time effect connected to inventory replenishment. Net revenues also include SEK 2.7 M (4.5) in revenue from research collaboration agreements and SEK 3.9 M (2.7) in co-promotion revenues from commercialization of lecanemab in the Nordic region with Eisai. Net revenues for the first half of the year amounted to SEK 1,681.7 M (79.5). During the first quarter 2025 an upfront payment of SEK
1,074.8 M (-), (USD 100 M) was received for the new license agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb. Revenues also included two milestone payments from Eisai of SEK 335.8 M. Cost of sales, consisting of royalties paid for the commitments that BioArctic has towards LifeArc for Leqembi, amounted to SEK 20.5 M (4.8) during the second quarter and to SEK 31.9 M (7.0) for the first half of the year.
Operational expenses for the business amounted to SEK 192.6 M (120.9) for the second quarter and to SEK 395.5 M (221.4) for the first half of the year, where the cost increase mainly is explained by currency effects.
Costs for research- and development increased to SEK 111.9 M (83.5) during the quarter, as several in-house projects have progressed to a later phase. For the first half of the year the costs amounted to SEK 196.5 M (146.5). BioArctic's proprietary projects are in an early research phase and do not meet the criteria for capitalization of R&D expenses, which is why all such costs have been charged to the income statement. Costs of marketing and sales in the quarter increased to SEK 19.6 M (15.5) as a consequence of a growing commercial organization and work to prepare for the launch of lecanemab in the Nordics. For the first half of the year the costs amounted to SEK 38.4 M (28.1). General and administration costs increased to SEK 29.5 M (21.4) for the quarter and to SEK 56.7 M (47.7) for the first half year period.
Other operating income relates to operating exchange rate gains and amounted to SEK 4.2 M (0.6) in the second quarter and for the first half of the year to SEK 5.1 M (2.5).
Other operating expenses amounted to SEK 35.8 M (1.0) in the second quarter. For the first half of the year the expenses amounted to SEK 109.0 (1.7) and consisted mainly of exchange rate losses of an operating nature attributable to revenue from Bristol Myers Squibb.
Operating profit before net financial items (EBIT) amounted to SEK 179.1 M (-75.8) for the second quarter and to SEK 1,254.3 M (-148.9) for the first half year period. The increased result for the period is a consequence of the upfront payment from Bristol Myers Squibb and increasing royalties.
Net financial items totaled SEK -7.6 M (7.4) for the second quarter and to SEK -16.9 M (23.0) for the first half year. The decrease is primarily attributable to a stronger krona that negatively affected liquid assets in foreign currency.
Tax related cost totaled SEK 74.9 M (0.0) for the second quarter and to SEK 119.4 M (0.1) for the half year period.
The profit for the period amounted to SEK 96.6 M (-68.4) for the second quarter and to SEK 1,118.0 M (-126.0) for the half year period.
Profit per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 1.09 (-0.77) for the second quarter. For the first half of the year, earnings per share before dilution amounted to SEK 12.64 (-1.43) and after dilution to SEK 12.61 (-1.43).

Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter amounted to SEK 1,147.1 M (-94.3) and for the half-year period to SEK 1,158,9 M (-208.7). The main explanation for the improved cash flow during the quarter compared to the previous year are the milestone payments from Eisai and rising royalties. The increase during the half-year period is mainly explained by an upfront payment of SEK 1,074.8 M (-), (USD 100 M) that was received for the license agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb.
Cash flow from investing activities for the second quarter amounted to SEK -742.9 M (95.5) and for the half-year period to SEK -707.7 M (82.0). The change compared with the second quarter and for the half-year period last year is explained by the increase in short-term investments during 2025.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 0.7 M (- 1.3) for the quarter and to SEK 13.1 M (0.8) for the first six months and relates to a new issue of shares supported by employee stock options and amortization of leasing debt.
Cash flow for the quarter totaled SEK 404.9 M (-0.1) and SEK 464,4 M (-125.9) for the half-year period. The improving cash flow quarter-on-quarter is attributable to a milestone payment from Eisai and for the half-year period the increase is attributable to the upfront payment from Bristol Myers Squibb.
Equity amounted to SEK 2,036.1 M as of June 30, 2025, compared with SEK 894.9 M as of December 31, 2024. This corresponds to equity per outstanding share of SEK 23.00 (10.13). The equity/asset ratio was 87.4 percent as of June 30, 2025, compared with 80.5 percent as of December 31, 2024.
The Group's cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances of SEK 948.1 M (512.9). Short-term investments amount to SEK 968.0 M (266.0). Cash and cash equivalents and shortterm investments amounted to a total of SEK 1,916.1 M as of June 30, 2025, compared with SEK 778.9 M as of December 31, 2024. There were no loans as of June 30, 2025, and no loans have been taken since this date. The Group has no other credit facility or loan commitments.
In order to neutralize foreign exchange rate exposure some liquid funds are held in foreign currency. This has implications on reporting in conjunction with revaluation of currency to current rate. These effects are recognized in financial income and expenses.
The Group's business operations are mainly conducted in the Parent Company.

Events after the end of the second quarter
Patents are crucial to the company's future commercial opportunities. BioArctic has therefore an active patent strategy covering all major pharmaceutical markets including the US, EU, Japan and China. At the end of June 2025, BioArctic's patent portfolio consisted of 20 patent families with over 260 granted patents and more than 60 ongoing patent applications.
Collaborations and license agreements with leading pharma and biopharma companies are an important part of BioArctic's strategy. In addition to financial compensation, BioArctic benefits from the expertise the company's partners contribute in drug development, manufacturing and commercialization. Bio-Arctic has entered into a number of such agreements with the global Japanese pharma company Eisai and previously also with the global American biopharma company AbbVie. In

December 2024, the company also signed a global license agreement with the American pharma company Bristol Myers Squibb. These strategic partnerships with leading global companies confirm that BioArctic's research is of very high quality. In the future, BioArctic may enter into new agreements that may provide additional funding and R&D expertise to the company's product candidates in earlier phase. Furthermore, collaborations may provide manufacturing, commercialization and marketing expertise, geographic reach and other resources.
BioArctic has been collaborating with Eisai in the field of Alzheimer's disease since 2005. The company has signed research and/or licensing agreements concerning lecanemab, lecanemab back-up and BAN2802. The total value of lecanemab and lecanemab back-up agreements may amount to EUR 222 M in addition to royalty. As of 30 June 2025, up to EUR 54 M in milestone payments remain from Eisai under existing agreements.
BioArctic and Eisai have agreed on commercialization and co-promotion for the Nordic countries based on a fifty-fifty profit share for the region and thus no sales royalty is received as in other markets. According to the agreement Eisai will be responsible for pricing and reimbursement as well as
distribution whereas BioArctic will take on a larger responsibility for customer interaction.
In December 2024, BioArctic AB and Bristol Myers Squibb signed a global exclusive license agreement for BioArctic's PyroGlutamate-amyloid-beta (PyroGlu-Aβ) antibody program, including BAN1503 and BAN2803, whereof the latter includes BioArctic's BrainTransporter technology. As part of the agreement, in April, BioArctic received a USD 100 million upfront payment when the agreement entered into force in February 2025. BioArctic may receive up to USD 1.25 billion in milestone payments. BioArctic is also entitled to tiered low double-digit royalties on global product sales.
In August 2025, BioArctic entered into an option, collaboration and license agreement with Novartis Pharma AG regarding a potential new treatment combining BioArctic's proprietary BrainTransporter technology with an undisclosed target in neurodegeneration. As part of the initial research collaboration, BioArctic will receive USD 30 million in upfront payment. Novartis will evaluate the data generated during the initial collaboration and decide whether to exercise their option to license any drug candidate generated. If Novartis exercises their option, BioArctic will be eligible to receive additional payments of up to USD 772 million. BioArctic will also be entitled to
tiered mid-single digit royalties on future global sales if the product reaches the market.
Collaborating with universities is also of great importance to BioArctic. The company has ongoing collaborations with academic research groups at a number of universities.
The management makes assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect the content of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these assumptions and estimates, as is also stated in the accounting principles. The objective of the Group's risk management is to identify, mitigate, measure, control, and limit business risks. Significant risks are the same for the Parent Company and the Group.
BioArctic's operational and external risks mainly consist of risks related to research and development, clinical trials, and dependence on key employees.
A detailed description of exposure and risk management is presented in the Annual Report 2024 on pages 42-47.
BioArctic is developing a number of drug candidates for neurodegenerative diseases in partnership with global pharma companies. The company also conducts research for proprietary projects including new potential antibody treatments as well as a blood-brain barrier technology platform. The company signs research and licensing agreements with partners and then receives remuneration for research as well as milestone payments and royalty, which the company uses to finance current and new projects. Milestone payments are normally received when project reaches predetermined development targets – the start of clinical trials, for example – or when clinical trials move from one phase to a later phase. Milestone payments may also be paid upon submissions of applications to regulatory authorities, approvals, and sales milestones. Thus, these payments arise unevenly over time. BioArctic also receives royalty income from the global sale of Leqembi and co-promotion income from sales in the Nordics and as these revenues increase, the fluctuations will decrease.
As a result of the approval of Leqembi, the company's future income generation is deemed to be very good. The global
launch of the drug is ongoing, which will contribute to gradually increasing revenues. Operating expenses for financial year 2025 are expected to increase due to the build-up of the commercial organization ahead of the potential launch of lecanemab in the Nordic region and costs for the expanded and more advanced in-house project portfolio. BioArctic has a business model in which its revenue and earnings are primarily based on milestone payments, royalty income and revenue from co-promotion agreements. All of BioArctic's therapeutic areas, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases are areas with significant unmet medical need and have great market potential. The company's ambition is to continue to generate and develop the drugs that improve life for people with disorders of the central nervous system. The company's financial position remains strong, which creates exciting possibilities for the continued development of BioArctic.
At the end of the second quarter, the number of full-time employees was 119 (96) of which 78 (61) women and 41 (35) were men. 66 (67) percent of the employees work in R&D and of these 81 (83) percent are PhDs. The turnover rate in the quarter was 0.8 (0) percent.

Gunilla Osswald CEO BioArctic AB (publ) |
Sustainable business is the foundation of our operations and enables innovation with the aim of making a significant difference in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.
BioArctic's greatest contribution to contribute to a sustainable future is through innovation and the development of safe and effective drugs for diseases that affect the brain and where there is a great medical need. BioArctic conducts important research of the highest quality, which in turn requires us to be a reliable and attractive employer. The company's partnership model is the business model we apply to make BioArctic's research and innovations available to patients around the world. That the drugs we and our partners develop reach market approvals in new markets contributes to the well-being of patients and to society, which is an important part of our social responsibility.
BioArctic endeavors to integrate ethical, economic, and environmental sustainability at all levels in its operations. Key parts are the routine development and implementation of procedures and governance, the quality management system, and measures to prevent negative ethical or environmental impact from the company's own operations.
The forthcoming legislation in the area of sustainability, stakeholder expectations, the company's growth and the realization of the strategy to market drugs in the Nordic region guide the company's sustainability program. As the European legislation on sustainability reporting is not yet required for companies of our size, BioArctic will adopt the general CSRD reporting structure, but does not aspire to present a CSRD-compliant report until legally required to do so. Sustainability reporting covers the Bio-Arctic Group, including subsidiaries, and is reported annually. BioArctic reports advancements towards the annual targets on a quarterly basis.

To ensure that we are pushing our operation in a direction that creates more value and reduces our negative impact BioArctic's sustainability goals have been implemented based on the Sustainable innovation and Sustainable business strategies. BioArctic presents key ratios and measurable targets as part of the environment, employee ship, the work environment, ethics and development. These targets are included as part of the long-term remuneration models for senior executives and employees.

During the second quarter the following actions and advancements towards our targets have been made:
BioArctic aims to align energy and climate ambitions with our commitments to UN Global Compact, the industry association and Sweden's overarching aims. BioArctic has conducted a survey of emissions with the aim of understanding the company's emissions before adopting long-term reduction targets.
| Focus area | Status Q2 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle fleet 100% electric or plug-in hybrid | Achieved | |
| Survey of Scope 1 and 2 emissions | Achieved | |
| Survey of Scope 3 emissions | Ongoing | |
BioArctic exercises social sustainability to our employees by providing a thriving and safe workplace and to society and patients by ensuring access to our research and that the drugs we develop are effective, safe and reach the market.
| Focus area | Status Q2 2025 |
|---|---|
| 100% follow up of workplace accidents | Follow-up of accidents and incidents |
| Employee satisfaction survey, eNPS>50 | eNPS 80 2 measurements (65 Q2 2024) |
| Inclusion and diversity survey | Measurement carried out - no significant re marks. Training for all employees. |

| Management gender balance at least 40:60 | 56:44 (female/male) |
| Patient safety training | 100% completion |
BioArctic's board adopted long-term climate goals for 2025 and beyond:
Maintain 100% renewable electricity in own operations
Validate climate targets according to SBTi 2026
65% CO2 reduction by 2035 in the value chain
BioArctic presented its sustainability report in connection with the publication of the annual report. The report included the company's double materiality analysis, which will be revised during 2025 to reflect the company's development. A cross-functional sustainability committee has been formed.
BioArctic invites investors, analysts, and media to an audiocast with teleconference (in English) today, August 28, at 9:30– 10:30 a.m. CET. CEO Gunilla Osswald and CFO Anders Martin-Löf will present BioArctic, comment on the interim report and answer questions.
