Sales of Buvidal grew 28 percent year-on-year and 11 percent compared to previous quarter
Camurus ended 2024 with a very solid fourth quarter, growing 48 percent year on year, driven by increasing Buvidal® sales and royalty revenues from Brixadi® in the US. Due to strong financial performance, results for the quarter and full year exceeded previous estimates. In the development pipeline, a Complete Response Letter (CRL) was issued by the FDA for the CAM2029 New Drug Application for acromegaly in the US, solely related to observations during a cGMP inspection at a third-party manufacturer. The Marketing Authorization Application for CAM2029 in the EU progressed according to plan during the quarter, alongside pivotal clinical studies of CAM2029 in neuroendocrine tumors and polycystic liver disease. In the early pipeline, a clinical study of our monthly semaglutide depot (CAM2056) was initiated in participants with overweight or obesity.
In the fourth quarter, we continued to deliver on our strategic objectives and our 2027 vision, with strong growth and record result from ongoing operations. Total revenues during the quarter amounted to SEK 553 (375) million, corresponding to 48 percent growth on an annual basis and 15 percent over the quarter. Operating expenses for the period were SEK 357 million with savings relating to postponement of the launch of Oclaiz™ in the US and decreased social security costs for the company's long-term incentive program. Profit before tax for the quarter increased SEK 204 million to SEK 186 (-18) million.
For the full year, Camurus' total revenues amounted to SEK 1,868 million, in the top range of the raised financial outlook from 7 November 2024. Operating expenses were SEK 1,257 (1,069) million. Research and development costs amounted to SEK 684 million, in line with previous estimates plus incremental expenses of SEK 20 million for the development and preparation for the start of a Phase 1 clinical study of CAM2056. Profit before tax for the full year was SEK 553 million and exceeded previously communicated estimates, driven by robust revenue generation combined with controlled operating expenses. Cash flow from operating activities for the full year was SEK 593 million, and cash at year end amounted to SEK 2.9 billion, with no debt. All in all, we continue to strengthen our financial position to execute on our strategy for continued growth and value creation through increased sales, investments in our pipeline, and business development.
Sales of Buvidal, for the treatment of opioid dependence, amounted to 469 million in the quarter, a growth of 28 percent year-on-year and 11 percent compared to previous quarter. The number of patients treated with Buvidal increased by over 4,000 in the quarter to an estimated 60,000 at the end of the year. For the full year 2024, sales were SEK 1,654 million, an increase of 27 percent compared to last year.
Growth during the quarter was strong in Europe, where Buvidal continued to gain market share in major markets such as the UK, Germany, Spain and France. In addition to continued market penetration, market access was expanded with new price and reimbursement approvals in Switzerland, Portugal and Luxembourg. Launches in these markets are scheduled for early 2025. Buvidal continued to grow in Australia and is now first choice for treatment of opioid dependence with more than one quarter of total patients and a market share in the long-acting buprenorphine segment of over 80 percent. An important initiative in improving access to Buvidal for patients has been the development of a pharmacy administration model to complement administration at specialty clinics and relieve their workload. At the end of 2024, there were already more than 200 pharmacies around Australia that offered administration of Buvidal. In addition to giving patients greater
flexibility, this has contributed to increased treatment capacity and more patients in treatment.
In the US, royalty revenues from the sales of Brixadi amounted to SEK 83 million in the quarter, which corresponds to a sales increase of 43 percent compared to previous quarter. Overall, Brixadi had a strong first full year on the US market in 2024, far surpassing previous product launches in this segment. Total royalty revenues for the year were SEK 212 million, an increase of SEK 203 million. The equalized monthly prescriptions share of Brixadi at the end of the fourth quarter approached 25 percent of the US buprenorphine long-acting prescription market.1
In parallel with the strong commercial performance, we continued growing the evidence base for Buvidal and Brixadi with new results presented at scientific meetings and in journal publications, including new quantitative data on illicit opioid use indicating enhanced treatment efficacy with Buvidal compared to daily administered sublingual buprenorphine in patients with high levels of illicit opioids.2 In 2025, we look forward to results from several ongoing clinical studies, including large Investigator Sponsored Studies being completed in the US and Europe.
Long-acting octreotide (CAM2029) is being developed for the treatment of rare, severe, and chronic conditions, including acromegaly, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) and polycystic liver disease (PLD).
Acromegaly. In the quarter, a Complete Response Letter (CRL) was received from the FDA for the New Drug Application (NDA) for CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly. The CRL solely related to observations during a cGMP inspection at a third-party contract manufacturer, which the manufacturer responded to during the period. The manufacturer is awaiting an establishment inspection report to assess any need for further remediations following a recent official action indicated (OAI) classification * Brixadi® is the US brand name for Camurus' product Buvidal® many engaged and dedicated investigators, clinical team
for the site. This will inform the timing of the resubmission of the CAM2029 NDA to the FDA, currently estimated to the first half of 2025. In parallel with activities in the US, the corresponding Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the EU progressed according to plan and a recommendation for market approval is expected around mid-2025. In addition to the regulatory procedures, launch preparations have been continuing, including advisory meetings with healthcare providers, payers and patients, in-depth market research, and further development of the supply chain. Thus, we are well prepared for upcoming launches, with key commercial functions in place in both the US and the EU.
Additionally, key results from our Phase 3 ACROINNOVA 1 study were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM) during the quarter.3
GEP-NET.Treatment of patients progressed in the pivotal, global, Phase 3 study SORENTO, evaluating increased progressionfree survival (PFS) with CAM2029 compared to standard of care treatment in patients with GEP-NET. During the quarter, the estimated study timeline to end the randomized part of the study was updated to late 2025 or early 2026, based on a lower rate of PFS events, i.e. death or tumor progression, than estimated for the patient population in SORENTO, of whom the majority had advanced disease of grade 2 or 3 at study entry.
Overall, SORENTO continued to progress well thanks to our
Total revenues SEK 2.7 to 3.0 billion +45% to +61% vs. 2024
Profit before tax SEK 0.9 to 1.2 billion +63% to +117% vs. 2024
members, contract research staff, and most importantly all the patients participating in the study. The feedback from SORENTO continues to be very positive and we look forward to the continued development and outcome of the study.
PLD. During the quarter, the POSITANO study of CAM2029 in patients with symptomatic PLD has progressed, and most patients have now completed the randomized, double-blind treatment period of the study and moved into the extension phase. The last patients are expected to complete the core phase of the study in the first quarter of 2025 and primary results are expected the following quarter. PLD is a rare and serious chronic disease with no approved medical treatments. Alongside the progress of POSITANO, CAM2029 was granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of autosomal dominant PLD by the European Commission in the quarter.
We continue to deliver in accordance with our five-year vision
During the quarter, we received clinical trial authorization for the start of a randomized, active-controlled Phase 1 study of semaglutide monthly depot (CAM2056) in participants with overweight or obesity, who are otherwise healthy. The study, evaluating pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics – including weight loss – and safety of repeated dosing of CAM2056 compared to semaglutide weekly injection (Wegovy), was initiated during the period. Treatment of the first randomized cohorts is ongoing and study results are expected in the second half of 2025.
In addition to CAM2056, we have advanced several other promising product candidates through early development and assessments in preclinical studies, including different long-acting incretins.
During the quarter, our new headquarters and laboratory were completed in Science Village in Lund, in between the Max IV synchrotron and the European Spallation Source neutron facilities. In addition to enabling further expansion of our business, the move is a major boost to our research activities, with efficient, state-ofthe-art laboratories designed for our development operations. In parallel, we have completed our Camurus Inc. office at Carnegie Center, Princeton, New Jersey, where we continue to establish our commercial organization and prepare for the planned launch of Oclaiz™ and other innovative products designed to improve the lives of patients with severe and chronic disease.
Camurus had an excellent finish to the year with strong growth and high profitability. Sales of Buvidal grew by double digits over the quarter, as did royalty revenues from the sales of Brixadi in the US. Overall, during the year, we delivered a strong performance and a result before tax well above previous estimates. Our cash
position was strengthened to SEK 2.9 billion, supporting future investments in planned launches, acquisitions or in-licensing, as well as expansion of our manufacturing capacity and product portfolio.
The financial outlook for 2025 includes a revenue growth of 45 – 61 percent to between SEK 2.7 and 3 billion, primarily driven by Buvidal and Brixadi with a small revenue contribution from the anticipated launch of Oclaiz™ in acromegaly and partnerships. Profit before tax for 2025 is expected in the range of SEK 0.9 – 1.2 billion. Investments in research and development remain unchanged at the 2024 level. We continue to deliver in accordance with our five-year vision including the targets of five-fold revenue growth compared to 2022 and reaching an operating margin of around 50 percent in 2027.
In 2025, we look forward to anticipated market approvals for CAM2029 in the US and EU in acromegaly and clinical results from CAM2029 in PLD, POSITANO, and from our recently started clinical study of CAM2056 in participants with overweight or obesity. Additional opportunities include reaching the target for the readout of primary data for the SORENTO study in GEP-NET and business development.
Lastly, I would like to thank our employees, board members and collaborators for your efforts and excellent performances during the year and our shareholders for your continued support.

CAM2029 is a novel, once-monthly octreotide depot developed for easy self-administration and enhanced octreotide exposure. The product candidate is under development for the treatment of three rare diseases: acromegaly, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) and polycystic liver disease (PLD). Studies completed to date show that CAM2029 provides about a five-fold increase in octreotide bioavailability compared to currently available long-acting octreotide product, enabling a potentially improved treatment efficacy. In addition, CAM2029 can be conveniently self-administered as a subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled autoinjector pen, while other somatostatin receptor ligands require injections intramuscularly or deep subcutaneously with large needles, generally administered by a trained healthcare professional.11,12 CAM2029 is also ready-to-use and stored in room temperature.
CAM2029 has been evaluated in an extensive clinical program consisting of seven clinical trials, including two Phase 3 studies of CAM2029 in patients with acromegaly within the ACROINNOVA program. The 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study, ACROINNOVA 1, was completed in 2023 with positive topline results on efficacy and safety.13 This was followed by further positive interim and later topline data from the 52-week long-term safety and efficacy study, ACROINNOVA 2, which confirmed the safety profile and sustained treatment efficacy with CAM2029, along with improved patient reported treatment satisfaction and quality of life, compared to treatment with standard of care at baseline.14,15

During the period, significant progress was made in early R&D projects, including in CAM2056, a novel monthly FluidCrystal depot of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist semaglutide.
Camurus obtained regulatory approval for a randomized, dose-escalating, multiple-dose, Phase 1 study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of CAM2056 and weekly semaglutide in participants who are overweight or obese and otherwise healthy. The study was initiated during the period.
Several additional early and life-cycle management programs advanced during the period, including peptide-like incretins and small molecules.
Camurus is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative, long-acting medications for improving the lives of patients with severe and chronic diseases in areas of CNS, endocrinology, and oncology. In addition to own development, Camurus is actively pursuing business development and partnering efforts to expand and develop its product portfolio and pipeline, diversify its business, and expand globally to leverage sustainable value creation to its stakeholders.
Camurus continued pre-commercialization efforts in the US for the planned launch of Oclaiz™ (CAM2029), conducting advisory board meetings with clinicians and patients, attending regional acromegaly conferences, further development of the distribution chain, and discussions with payers covering the majority of lives in the US. Building the US organization has also continued with key functional leaders hired and other launch personnel candidates identified.
After a financially strong fourth quarter with increased growth and positive result development, Camurus keeps on track to deliver on its communicated 2027 vision.
• After the period, Camurus relocated the company's headquarters and laboratories to the new premises at The Loop, Science Village in Lund, Sweden

Camurus AB, corp. ID No. 556667-9105 is the parent company of the Camurus group and has its registered office based in Lund, Sweden, at Rydbergs Torg 4, 224 84 Lund. Camurus AB group's interim report for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 has been approved for publication by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.
All amounts are stated in SEK thousands (KSEK), unless otherwise indicated. Figures in brackets refer to the year-earlier period.
The consolidated financial statements for the Camurus AB group ("Camurus") have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's Recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for groups, interpretations from IFRS interpretations Committee (IFRS IC), and the Swedish Annual Account Act.
This interim report has been drawn up in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for groups.
The parent company statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The application of RFR 2 means that the parent company in the interim report for the legal entity shall apply all EU-approved IFRS standards and statements as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act, the Pension Obligations Vesting Act (Tryggandelagen) and taking into consideration the relationship between accounting and taxation. The parent company's accounting policies are the same as for the group, unless otherwise stated in Note 2.2.
The most important accounting policies that are applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are detailed below and are the same and consistent with those used in the preparation of the Annual Report 2023, see www.camurus.com/investors/financial-reports.
No new or revised IFRS standards, with any material impact on the group, have come into force.
Derivatives are reported in the balance sheet on the transaction day and are valued at fair value, both initially and in subsequent revaluations at the end of each reporting period. The group does not apply hedge accounting and all changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are reported directly in the income statement as Other operating income or Other operating expenses. Derivatives are reported in the balance sheet as Other receivables and Other liabilities.
The parent company applies accounting policies that differ from those of the group in the cases stated below.
All expenses that relate to the development of internally generated intangible assets are recognized as expenses as they arise.
Interests in subsidiaries are reported at cost, less any impairment losses. The cost includes acquisition-related expenses and any additional considerations. When there is an indication that interests in subsidiaries have decreased in value, a calculation is made of the recoverable amount. If this amount is lower than the reported amount, an impairment is carried out. Impairment losses are recognized under the item "Result from interest in group companies".
Group contributions paid by the parent company to subsidiaries and group contributions received from subsidiaries by the parent company are recognized as appropriations.
IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities and is applied with the exceptions that RFR 2 allows, i.e. at amortized cost.
Derivatives with a negative fair value are reported in the balance sheet as Other liabilities and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are reported directly in the income statement on the line Other operating income or Other operating expenses. Derivatives with a positive fair value are reported at the lower of acquisition value and fair value.
Camurus has two Employee Stock Options Programs (ESOP) active for the company´s employees. The programs were adopted by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2022 and 2023.
The options are granted free of charge and have a term approximately between three and four years from the grant date. Once vested, the options can be exercised during the exercise period provided that the participant is still employed. Each vested option gives the holder the right to acquire one share in Camurus at a pre-defined price corresponding to 125 or 130 percent of the volume-weighted average price for the company's share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the ten trading days immediately following the respective company's AGM in which the program was adopted.
The ESOP 2022/2026 program comprises a maximum of 1,000,000 employee stock options, and the ESOP 2023/2026 program comprises a maximum of 200,000 employee stock options.
The fair value of the service that entitles to the allotment of options through the program is reported as a personnel cost with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is based on the fair value of the employee stock options granted, including the share target price, and that the employee remains in the company's service during the exercise period. The total cost is reported over the vesting period. At the end of each reporting period, the company reconsiders its assessment of how many options are expected to be exercised and the difference is reported in the income statement and a corresponding adjustment is made in equity. As a basis for allocating social security contributions, a revaluation of fair value is continuously made for the employee stock options earned at the end of each reporting period. Social security contributions are reported as personnel costs and the corresponding provision is made under long- or short-term liabilities depending on the remaining term.
In total 912,666 employee options remain outstanding since the launch of the programs, of which 42,000 are granted to the CEO and 159,500 to other senior executives.
Camurus has one Performance Share Program (PSP) active for the company´s employees adopted by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2024.
PSP awards are granted free of charge and have a term of approximately three years from the grant date. The allocation of performance shares is subject to the achievement of performance conditions relating to (a) absolute compounded Total Shareholder Return (TSR) increase, between the AGM 2024 and the AGM 2027, which is weighted 40 percent, (b) the company's revenue growth, where the revenue (as reported) for the financial year 2023 is compared to the revenue (as reported) for the financial year 2026, which is weighted 30 percent, and (c) pipeline progress during the financial years 2024–2026, which is weighted 30 percent. Dependent on the achievement of the performance conditions, the number of performance shares allocated to the participants after expiration of the vesting period may amount to between 0 and 120 percent of the PSP award.
The PSP 2024/2027 program comprises a maximum of 240,000 shares.
The fair value of the service that entitles to the allotment of shares through the program is reported as a personnel cost with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is based on the fair value of granted PSP awards and that the employee remains in the company's service during the exercise period. The total cost is reported over the vesting period. At the end of each reporting period, the company reconsiders its assessment of how many shares are expected to be granted and the difference is reported in the income statement and a corresponding adjustment is made in equity. As a basis for allocating social security contributions, a revaluation of fair value is continuously made for earned PSP awards at the end of each reporting period. Social security contributions are reported as personnel costs and the corresponding provision is made under long- or short-term liabilities depending on the remaining term.
In total 139,100 PSP awards have been allocated since program launch, of which 4,000 to the CEO and 18,100 to other senior executives.
The fair value of the instruments (options and PSP awards) when implementing the programs have been calculated using Black & Scholes' valuation model, which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option and PSP awards, the share price on the allotment date, the expected volatility in the share price and risk-free interest for the option, and company assesment on probability to achieve and level of achievement for performance conditions.
For further information about the programs, see the minutes from the 2022, 2023 and 2024 Annual General Meetings published on the company's website, www.camurus.com/investors/ corporategovernance/general-meetings.
Full exercise of allotted employee stock options as of 31 December, 2024 corresponds to a total of 1,051,766 shares and would result in a dilution of shareholders with 1.79 percent, for more information see the below summary.
If decided, but not yet granted, employee performance share awards are fully exercised by further total of 100,900, the total dilution of shareholders would increase to 1.96 percent.

The company management makes estimates and assumptions about the future. Such estimates can deviate considerably from the actual outcome, since they are based on various assumptions and experiences.
The estimates and assumptions that may lead to the risk of significant adjustments to reported amounts for assets and liabilities relate mainly to measurement and allocation of revenues and costs in connection with licensing agreements and deferred tax receivables. Risks in ongoing development projects comprise technical and manufacturing related risks (including products failing to meet set specifications post manufacturing), safety and effect-related risks that can arise in clinical trials, regulatory risks relating to non-approval or delays of clinical trial applications and market approvals, and commercial risks relating to the sale of proprietary and competing products and their development on the market, as well as IP risks relating to approval of patent applications and patent protection. In addition, there are risks relating to the development, strategy and management decisions of Camurus' partners. There is also a risk that differences of opinion will arise between Camurus and its partners or that such partners do not meet their contractual commitments.
Camurus pursues operations and its business on the international market and the company is therefore exposed to currency risks, since revenues and costs arise in different currencies, mainly AUD, EUR, GBP, NOK, SEK, and USD.
The group reports a deferred tax asset of MSEK 125.9 as of 31 December, 2024. The deferred tax asset is calculated on the basis that Camurus AB's entire losses carried forward will be utilized against taxable surpluses in the future. The basic circumstance leading the company to make this assessment is that the company, for the development of new drug candidates, utilizes its own proprietary and regulatory validated long-acting FluidCrystal® injection depot. By combining this technology with already existing active drug substances whose efficacy and safety profile previously has been documented, new proprietary drugs with improved properties and treatment results can be developed in shorter time, at a lower cost and risk compared to the development of completely new drugs.
Accounting for deferred tax assets according to IFRS requires that it is probable that taxable surpluses will be generated in the future which the losses carried forward can be used against. In addition, a company that has reported losses in recent periods must be able to demonstrate convincing factors that taxable profits will be generated. The progress made in the commercialization of CAM2038, including approval by the FDA and US launch, plus the development of CAM2029 at the time the company confirmed its sustainable profitability in 2023 is what convincingly suggests that the company will be able to utilize its losses carried forward.
Future revenues will mainly be generated from Camurus' own sales organization in markets where Camurus has own commercialization capabilities, and through partnerships for markets where Camurus has outlicensed FluidCrystal and/or product candidates or products, such as Buvidal.
Losses carried forward are only reported in Sweden and without any due dates based on current tax legislation in Sweden.
A more detailed description of the group's risk exposure is included in Camurus Annual Report 2023 (The Director's Report).
The Board of Directors has not changed its outlook about future risk and uncertainties development in relation to their outlook published in the Annual Report 2023.
The highest executive decision maker is the function responsible for allocating resources and assessing the operating segments results. In the group this function is identified as the CEO based on the information he manages. As the operations in the group, i.e. the development of pharmaceutical products based on Camurus' technology platform, is organized as an integrated unit, with similar risks and opportunities for the products and services produced, the entire group's business constitutes one operating segment. The operating segment is monitored in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. In the internal reporting to the CEO, only one segment is used.

Earnings per share before dilution is calculated by dividing the result attributable to shareholders of the parent company by a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 240,000 shares have been repurchased and are held as treasury shares by the parent company.
In order to calculate earnings per share after dilution, the number of existing ordinary shares is adjusted for the dilutive effect of the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares. The parent company has one category of ordinary shares with anticipated dilution effect in the form of employee stock options and performance share awards. For this category, a calculation is made of the number of shares that could have been purchased at fair value (calculated as the average market price for the year for the parent company's shares), at an amount corresponding to the monetary value of the subscription rights linked to outstanding warrants and options. The number of shares calculated as above are compared to the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the employee stock options are exercised.

All of the group's financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost are short-term and expire within one year. The fair value of these instruments is deemed to correspond to their reported amounts, since discounting effects are minimal.
Financial assets and liabilities in the group that are reported at fair value consist of derivatives (currency futures). All derivatives are included in level 2 when valuing at fair value, which means that fair value is determined using valuation techniques that are based on market information as much as possible, while company-specific information is used as little as possible. All significant input data required for the fair value measurement of an instrument is observable. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined as the present value of future cash flows based on exchange rates for forward exchange contracts on the balance sheet date.
