CEO COMMENTS

Market approval for CERAMENT G in the US - Most important milestone in the Company's history

Sales in the quarter of SEK 75 million were again "all-time-high" – a growth of 44 percent compared to the second quarter of 2021. Highlights in the quarter include growth in the US with close to 60 percent, as well as a significantly improved operating profit, displaying the scalability of our business model.

The strong sales in the quarter stem from the expanded use of CERAMENT among existing customers as well as the recruitment of new customers (hospitals and clinics). Our sales organization is largely back at the same level of activity as before the pandemic, with the exception of Germany, where the ability to visit hospital customers is still limited by restrictions. The strained resources in healthcare, in virtually all markets, continue to limit the capacity of the number of surgeries that can be performed, and surgical volumes remain below pre-pandemic levels.

The most important news during the period was the US market approval for our antibiotic-eluting product CERAMENT G, which was obtained from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 17.

CERAMENT G is the first combination product (device-pharma) to be approved through the De Novo process and the approval has led to the establishment of a new regulatory product category at FDA. The category has a very detailed and strict regulatory and clinical standard, related to the unique mechanism of action for CERAMENT G.

CERAMENT G has a unique position in the US market, as the first and only antibiotic-eluting bone graft.

The extensive clinical documentation, on which the market approval is based, shows that CERAMENT G reduces the risk of recurrent bone infection to 4.3–5.5 percent – a dramatic improvement from the approximately 13 percent resulting from the current standard of care, PMMA-beads. In other words, the risk of reinfection is reduced by about 66 percent, which is a marked improvement and crucial in the commercialization of CERAMENT G.

The indication bone infection, for which CERAMENT G has received marketing approval, includes approximately 50,000 procedures per year. Local antibiotics are also preventively used in about 90,000 procedures where there is a high risk of infection. Overall, the market potential for these approximately 140,000 procedures per year is USD 780 million per year. We have begun work to expand CERAMENT G's marketing approval to include orthopedic procedures with a need to prevent infection, such as trauma, and expect to submit an application to FDA in mid-2023.

We summarize a strong quarter with a continuously growing base of hospitals and clinics choosing to use CERAMENT as a result of its positive clinical track record. Sales growth of 44 percent is a clear confirmation of the strength of our business model. We show the highest quarterly sales in BONESUPPORT's history and have established a stable and growing platform for continued strong growth. Our goal is to grow sales by 40 percent per year.

Emil Billbäck, CEO

NORTH AMERICA (NA)

The US market is the world's largest for synthetic bone graft products and thus the Company's most important market. In May, the Company received market approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the Company's antibiotic-eluting product CERAMENT G, for the indication bone infection (osteomyelitis). Launch is planned for the beginning of October this year. At the same time, work as begun for an extension of the indication area to also include orthopedic surgeries where there is a high risk of infection, such as in e.g. open trauma operations.

APRIL - JUNE

Sales

Sales for the period amounted to SEK 46.0 million (29.1), which corresponds to a growth of 58 percent (40 percent in constant exchange rate). The strong sales in the quarter stemmed from increased use of CERAMENT among existing customers but also recruitment of new customers (hospitals and clinics).

Our investment in an independent distribution network with over 40 distributors has brought improved geographical coverage and enables a broader pursuit. The strengthened customer base together with the larger GPO contracts, signed in previous periods, continue to contribute to the strong sales increase.

Contribution1

The contribution from the segment was SEK 7.1 million (-0.3). The increased sales led to an increase in gross profit of SEK 15.8 million. Sales and marketing expenses during the quarter amounted to SEK 34.8 million (22.8), of which sales commissions to distributors amounted to SEK 14.2 million (9.3). The increase, excluding sales commissions, was driven by currency effects of SEK 4.2 million and an increased activity level compared to previous year. The contribution was also influenced by R&D costs related to studies amounting to SEK 1,1 million (4.6). The decrease was an effect of the phasing out of the FORTIFY study.

JANUARY - JUNE

Net sales amounted to SEK 87.2 million (54.2), which corresponds to a growth of 61 percent (41 percent in constant exchange rate).

The contribution amounted to SEK 13.7 million (-2.3). The improved contribution is mainly due to the increase in sales.

EUROPE & REST OF THE WORLD (EUROW)

In Europe, CERAMENT is sold either by the Company's own sales organization or by distributors. Germany, the UK, Sweden, Denmark and the BENELUX countries are key markets where BONESUPPORT has its own sales representatives. In Italy and Spain, the Company has established a hybrid model, with qualified local staff from BONESUPPORT working side by side with the local distributors' sales representatives. In other European markets and in other parts of the world (ROW), the Company cooperates with specialist distributors. The focus is on accelerating the sales and the use of CERAMENT in established and new markets through market access and the provision of clinical and health economic evidence. In June, it became clear that South Africa's largest private health insurance company, Discovery Health, and the private hospital organizations Life Healthcare, Netcare, Melomed and Busamed will include BONESUPPORT's antibiotic-eluting bone graft substitutes CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V in the reimbursement system.

APRIL - JUNE

Sales

Sales for the period amounted to SEK 28.6 million (22.7), corresponding to a growth of 26 percent (22 percent in constant exchange rates). Our sales organization is largely back at the same level of activity as before the pandemic, with the exception of Germany, where the opportunity to visit hospital customers is still limited by restrictions.

Sales in key direct markets accounted for 75 percent (80) of the segment's sales during the quarter. Sales of the antibiotic-eluting products CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V corresponded to 87 percent (88).

Contribution1

The contribution from the segment amounted to SEK 7.1 million (3.0). The improved contribution is explained mainly by the increase in sales. Sales and marketing expenses increased marginally compared to the corresponding quarter last year and amounted to SEK 16.4 million (16.2).

JANUARY - JUNE

Net sales amounted to SEK 53.8 million (42.4), an increase of 27 percent compared to the previous year (22 percent in constant exchange rates).

The contribution amounted to SEK 12.7 million (5.2). The improved contribution is explained by the increase in sales.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

BONESUPPORT's clinical development program focuses on further developing CERAMENT's properties, broadening clinical application areas and leveraging CERAMENT's unique drug-eluting properties via the development of combination products which promote bone healing.

A number of combinations with CERAMENT have been studied to add osteoinductive properties i.e., the capability to actively stimulate bone healing. Among other research activities, the Company has conducted research in the form of preclinical candidates which combined CERAMENT with bisphosphonates, bone morphogenic proteins (BMP), bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM). Priority product candidates for own development are CERAMENT combined with bisphosphonate and CERAMENT combined with DBM, while CERAMENT combined with BMP is a candidate for potential partner development.

Bisphosphonate is a well-established substance in the treatment of osteoporosis and is used to inhibit the activity of osteoclasts, resulting in improved bone healing and bone density. Demineralized bone matrix is based on allograft which is reduced in minerals. The material has been shown to have wide usage in conditions and situations where natural bone regrowth is weak.

Preclinical research has shown that the addition of zoledronic acid to CERAMENT increases the bone volume at screw implants with osteoporotic bone. These findings have recently been supplemented by a published biomechanical study showing that CERAMENT immediately improved anchor strength of hip screw with 400 percent.

Further preclinical research has shown that the combination of CERAMENT, zoledronic acid and bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) can also be used in the reconstruction of large segment defects instead of bone transplantation.

CLINICAL EVIDENCE, A STRATEGIC CORNERSTONE

One of the three cornerstones of BONESUPPORT's strategy is to provide industry-leading scientific and clinical evidence that validates the many benefits of CERAMENT. Already today there is a comprehensive database of more than 240 research publications and abstracts of preclinical and clinical studies with CERAMENT.

RESULTS FROM CERTIFY DRIVE CHANGED STANDARD OF CARE

CERTiFy1 was a randomized, controlled clinical trial conducted at 20 trauma centers in Germany with 135 patients. The study, which was done on tibial plateau fractures, shows that CERAMENT BVF can replace autograft as the standard of care. The study confirmed that CERAMENT has the ability to be converted to bone. In addi-

tion, treatment with CERAMENT BVF resulted in significantly lower patient-experienced post-operative pain and a significantly lower blood loss. BONESUPPORT expects the results of the study published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery in December 2019 to represent a milestone in driving change in the standard of care and that more clinics in consultation with the patient will choose CERAMENT over autograft.

THE SOLARIO STUDY

BONESUPPORT supports the SOLARIO study (Short or Long Antibiotic Regimes in Orthopaedics), with the aim of investigating if synthetic bone graft substitutes containing antibiotics can lead to shorter treatment time compared to systemic antibiotics and thereby reduce risk of antibiotic resistance, side effects and additional costs. The study is led by the Oxford University Hospital's NHS Foundation Trust in collaboration with EBJIS (European Bone and Joint Infection Society). SOLARIO is a randomized unblinded European multicenter study that is expected to include 500 patients. The first patient was recruited in February 2019 and the study is expected to be closed during Q1 2024. A positive result of the study may contribute to a paradigm shift in the protocol for treating bone infections.

THE CONVICTION STUDY

The French CRIOAc2 Network has initiated CONVICTION, a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of CERAMENT G in the treatment of osteomyelitis. The French Ministry of Health has decided to fund the study. A research grant from BONESUPPORT to partially finance the products used in the study, has been awarded.

The study will evaluate the effectiveness of CERAMENT G in the treatment of osteomyelitis. The study is a national multicenter study and will be conducted by clinics that are part of the CRIOAc network.

A positive outcome of the study would mean that a large commercial opportunity will arise in the French market and that improved reimbursement status is obtained.

HEALTH ECONOMICS

One of the largest challenges when introducing new and innovative healthcare treatment is to ensure that healthcare systems around the world understand the value of the treatment and include it in the care offered to the patient. BONESUPPORT undertakes a variety of activities to ensure that the Company's products are included in the remuneration systems where our products are marketed.

One of the obvious health economic benefits that comes from the clinical benefits CERAMENT offers is a reduced utilization of healthcare resources. A reduced number of re-infections and reduced amputation frequency as a result of treatment with CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V in a one-step procedure naturally leads to fewer return visits and fewer surgeries and, as a consequence, fewer hospital stays. The significance of health benefits and the calculation models for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of health benefits differ between different healthcare systems. A common way to evaluate whether a product should be covered by a reimbursement system is by performing an HTA - Health Technology Assessment. An HTA is the scientific work that evaluates the relative effect and safety of a treatment, ie what is the benefit of the product in comparison with what is already used in healthcare. The model we have now established has increased our opportunities to more quickly include the CERAMENT platform in replacement systems in new markets.

POSITIVE HTA EVALUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA

During the quarter, South Africa's largest private health insurance company, Discovery Healths, announced that it has completed its HTA, Health Technology Assessment of CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V with positive results, and will include these in its reimbursement system. As a result of Discovery Health's evaluation, the private hospital organizations Life Healthcare, Netcare, Melomed and Busamed have also decided to include BONESUPPORT's antibiotic-releasing bone graft substitutes CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V in their reimbursement systems.

HEALTH ECONOMIC MODEL OSTEOMYELITE USA

One of the major projects that has been started in 2021 is a cost and benefit analysis of what a change of treatment regime to a onestep procedure with CERAMENT G could mean for the American healthcare system. The modeling, which is based on available clinical data and cost data from CMS, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, takes place in collaboration with national expertise in health economics and clinical orthopedics. The goal is for this study to be completed in the second quarter of 2022. The analysis has been submitted for publication and will nevertheless be an important tool in the marketing of CERAMENT G to, among others, private insurance companies.

CERAMENT G OR CERAMENT V LEADS TO REDUCED DAYS OF CARE IN PATIENTS WITH BONE INFECTIONS¹

The Nuffield Orthopaedic Center (NOC) has shown that they have been able to reduce the degree of re-infection in osteomyelitis patients by 56 percent compared to their previous standard of treatment. In an analysis involving approximately 25,000 patients who underwent surgical treatment for osteomyelitis in 2013-2017, the patient group treated at NOC after the introduction of CERAMENT G or CERAMENT V in a one-step procedure was compared with patients cared for at other hospitals in England. The results presented in The Journal of Bone and Joint Infection¹ showed that CERAMENT G or CERAMENT V in a one-step procedure contributed to significantly improved patient outcomes. The hospital stay, in connection with osteomyelitis surgery and the following two years, were on average 16 days shorter for the group that received CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V at NOC. In addition, patients at NOC had a significantly lower risk of amputation (6.47 percent) compared to the Rest of England control group (12.71 percent). With the addition of CERAMENT G or CERAMENT V in the treatment of osteomyelitis, the total saving in the number of days of care associated with surgery and subsequent care, could amount to approximately GBP 44 million annually, calculated on 6,250 treated patients per year.

REDUCED RISK OF DEEP INFECTIONS WITH CERAMENT G AND CERAMENT V

Another area where CERAMENT G and CERAMENT V could help reduce healthcare costs is in the treatment of open tibial fractures. Open tibial fractures represent about 15 percent¹ of all tibial fractures and have a high incidence of infection, with no bone healing as a result. Bone infections often lead to great suffering for the patient and very high healthcare costs. In a Belgian study by Hoekstra et al² of 358 patients, the cost of tibial fractures was studied. The study showed that healthcare costs for patients affected by a deep infection were on average five times higher than for those who did not get an infection, resulting in the cost of treatment increasing from EUR 9,500 to EUR 48,700. There are a number of studies that show that CERAMENT contributes to cost-effective care by reducing the number of deep infections. One of these is a study by Aljawadi et al³ on 80 patients with severe open tibial fractures treated with CERAMENT G in a one-step procedure. In the study, one patient (1.3 percent) suffered from a deep infection compared with historical references of up to 52 percent incidence of infection. This shows that one-step treatment with antibiotic-eluting CERAMENT for open tibial fractures can effectively reduce the incidence of cost-driving infections..

NOTE 8 OPTION PROGRAMS AND PERFORMANCE SHARE PROGRAMS

At the period end, there are three different employee stock option programs and four performance share programs.

Employee stock option programs

Of the three employee stock option programs, two run over ten years and expire 2022 and 2025 and one program runs over eight years and expires 2024. Each stock option gives the holder the right to acquire 0.2 ordinary shares in BONESUPPORT when exercising the option. This at a price in the first two programs of SEK 0.125 per option, equivalent to SEK 0.625 per share, and in the third program of SEK 5.30 per option, equivalent to SEK 26.50 per share. The employee stock options are vested according to a schedule in each program. A condition for allotment of options is employment or a contractual relationship with the Company at each vesting date. Of the allocated 25.7 million options, 21.6 million (21.6) options were fully vested before the end of the period.

Performance share programs

There are three programs for employees and one program for two Board members.

  • The programs run as follows with the below end dates:
  • The program for employees decided at the annual general meeting in 2019 runs until 31 December 2022;
  • The program for employees decided at the annual general meeting in 2020 runs until 31 December 2023;
  • The program for employees decided at the annual general meeting in 2021 runs until 31 December 2023; and
  • The program for two Board members decided at the annual general meeting in 2021 runs until the date of the annual general meeting in 2024.

In each program for employees decided at the annual general meetings in 2019 and 2020, each savings share gives the opportunity to be allotted to the employees a maximum of two, three or four performance shares without payment depending on share price development and the Company's development in terms of sales and EBITDA during the duration of the program. The performance shares were issued in the form of class C-shares with a subscription price and quota value of SEK 0.625 per share.

In the program for employees decided at the annual general meeting in 2021, each savings share gives the opportunity to be allotted a maximum of six performance shares without payment depending on share price development and the Company's development in terms of sales and EBITDA during the duration of the program.

In the program for two Board members decided at the annual general meeting in 2021, each savings share gives the opportunity to be allotted a maximum of three performance shares without payment depending on share price development.

The annual general meeting in May 2021 authorized the Board to enter a share swap-agreement with a third party bank to fulfil the Company's commitments under the incentive programs LTI 2021 and LTI 2021 Board and to secure social security charges for these programs. The mandate was exercised during 2021.

Employee stock options and performance shares are valued at fair value at the date of allocation. The total cost is distributed over the vesting period. At the end of the vesting period, a reduction in staff turnover is assumed, which entails an increased cost. The cost is accounted for as personnel cost and is credited to equity. The social security cost is revalued at fair value. When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. Payments received on behalf of the shares issued are credited to equity.

Further information on these programs is presented in Notes 12 and 23 in the Annual Report 2021.

MISSION

Restoring health to improve the quality of life for patients with bone disorders

BONESUPPORT's unique product technology has properties with the potential to revolutionize the care of patients with bone disorders by enabling faster rehabilitation, limiting the number of surgical procedures and reducing the risk of severe infections. For patients, this means that they can return to a more normal life more quickly.

Until 2021, BONESUPPORT's products have been used in approximately 70,000 surgical procedures in more than 20 countries. The most common procedures consist of bone disorders where the body is unable to perform natural healing and single-stage surgery in connection with bone infection.

VISION

Becoming a global orthobiologics leader

BONESUPPORT's unique technology means that over time, the Company's injectable bio-ceramic bone graft substitutes remodel to natural bones and have the ability to release drugs. This enables new treatment standards in the treatment of bone diseases/skeletal injuries. The Company's ambition is to grow sales by 40 percent a year after the pandemic, including rapid expansion in the US, which is the world's largest healthcare market.

STRATEGY

The strategy is based on three pillars:

Innovation – BONESUPPORT has the market's most innovative solution for the treatment of bone disorders.

Clinical and Health Economic Evidence – The clinical evidence for the CERAMENT platform continues to grow and now amounts to more than 240 publications and abstracts. An important milestone for BONESUPPORT is the CERTiFy study, which shows that CERAMENT is at least as good as autograft.

Effective commercial platform – BONESUPPORT's commercial and medical organization provides healthcare with products, information, service and training.
