Progress continued during the third quarter with the launch of a new Phase 3 study, granting of orphan drug designation for CAM2029 in the US, double-digit sales growth and improved results. COVID-19 has continued to put pressure on us, however, we see potential for accelerated growth as access to health care providers and patients improves and new markets are added. In December, we also await an important approval decision for Brixadi™ in the US.
Sales of Buvidal during the third quarter were SEK 152 million, an increase of 61% compared to 2020 and 11% compared to the previous quarter. Given continued impacts of the pandemic and summer holidays in Europe, we are content with the result and especially pleased with the significant commitment and efforts by our commercial and medical teams. After a long period of full and partial lockdowns and other restrictions in our markets, we have been able to gradually resume direct contact with health care providers and other stakeholders and patient access to Buvidal continues to improve.
Growth during the third quarter was concentrated in established markets where health care providers and patients have gained experience of Buvidal, while the planned expansion in new markets was impeded by various restrictions, delayed price and reimbursement decisions and postponed orders in distributor markets. However, following a positive health economic evaluation in France and reimbursement approval in Slovenia, we launched Buvidal in these two countries during the quarter. In addition, we are fully prepared for
launches in another five markets during the year, which will strengthen the sales growth in 2022.
Buvidal is now available in 17 countries and we estimate that approximately 21,000 patients are currently receiving our treatment. The response from patients, HCPs and policy makers continues to be very positive which further strengthens our view of the future potential for Buvidal.
Despite this positive response and progress in our markets, we have increased sales at a slightly lower rate than expected during the first nine months of the year meaning that we have downgraded our forecast for sales and revenue for the full year. Full year operating result is expected in the lower end of previously communicated range (see page 15). For clarification, this excludes potential milestone payments for approval of Brixadi in the US. We see the situation as improving and it does not affect our view of growth in 2022 or our long-term goal of more than 100,000 patients receiving Buvidal in Europe and Australia in 2026.

Buvidal has in a relatively short time since launch been established as a market-leading treatment for patients with opioid dependence in several markets. This has led to the availability of an increased amount of data from various registers, investigator-led studies and clinical practice. During the third quarter, additional positive data from the DEBUT study were published, which demonstrates reduced stigma, and time and cost savings for patients treated with Buvidal compared with daily medication.1 A publication from a trial-led study in Germany reported promising results regarding the transition of patients from treatment with methadone to Buvidal in the penitentiary.2
In addition, further publications, meeting abstracts, posters and presentations at scientific congresses have continued to strengthen the evidence-base for Buvidal and increase knowledge about treatment among HCPs and other stakeholders.
An approval decision for Brixadi (the US tradename for Buvidal) is anticipated shortly in the US. The updated NDA application, which has priority review status, was accepted by the FDA in June this year with a target date for approval decision on 15 December 2021.
We look forward to a positive decision from the FDA and to our licensing partner Braeburn launching Brixadi in the US and making this innovative treatment available to patients with opioid dependence. Even before its approval, several large investigator-led clinical studies are ongoing in the US.3-6
In addition to the US, registration processes for Buvidal are underway in a number of markets in the Middle East and North Africa, where several approval decisions are expected early next year.
In Europe, we are also completing an application for an extended marketing authorization for Buvidal (CAM2038) to the treatment of chronic pain. We plan to submit the application to the EMA before the end of the year and a decision is expected by the end of 2022.
We have an extensive ongoing registration programme for CAM2029, our subcutaneous octreotide depot. The programme focuses on three rare diseases and consists of two ongoing Phase 3 studies of CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly, a Phase 3 study in patients with neuroendocrine tumours of the gastrointestinal tract or pancreas (GEP-NET), and a planned Phase 2/3 study of the treatment of patients with polycystic liver disease (PLD). In addition, we are in the process of completing a Phase 1 study to bridge the gap between the CAM2029 pre-filled syringe and our newly developed pen, which is now being introduced in all ongoing Phase 3 programmes.
During the third quarter, recruitment and treatment of patients continued in our acromegaly studies, and we plan to report top-line results in H2 2022. In addition, we have recently initiated the SORENTO study, a randomized, activecontrolled study of CAM2029 for the treatment of patients with GEP-NET. The study aims to demonstrate improved progression-free survival when treated with CAM2029 compared to standard medical treatment with first-generation longacting somatostatin analogues.7 The study is estimated to include more than 300 patients with advanced and welldifferentiated tumours at approximately 90 clinical sites in North America and Europe. Screening of patients has begun, and the study is expected to be fully recruited in 2022. Overall results regarding primary and secondary outcome measures of efficacy and safety are expected in 2024.
"We look forward to a positive decision from the FDA and to our licensing partner Braeburn launching Brixadi in the US"
CAM2029 is also being developed for the treatment of PLD – a rare disease caused by the formation of multiple cysts in the liver, which can lead to severe symptoms and reduced quality of life and where there is a large medical unmet need and no approved medical treatment. During the third quarter, the FDA granted CAM2029 orphan drug designation for PLD as well as approval for the start of a registration-based Phase 2/3 study, with planned study start early next year. As part of the preparations, we have, based on input from the FDA, developed a new tool to measure patient-reported treatment results that will be part of the clinical study.
Our collaboration with Rhythm Pharmaceuticals is progressing according to plan with the goal of documenting and registering CAM4072, a weekly preparation of setmelanotide for the treatment of various genetically determined obesity diseases, including Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), which is characterized by obesity, visual impairment and other morbidities. Rhythm has announced that it plans to launch two randomized Phase 3 trials of CAM4072 for the treatment of BBS - one study in patients previously treated with daily injections and one in untreated individuals. The first patients are expected to be recruited before the end of the year.
Camurus had a solid third quarter with continued progress in our development pipeline, double-digit quarterly sales growth and strong results development. We ended the quarter with a strong cash position and foundation to execute on our long-term strategy for growth and market expansion, to bring new product candidates to the market, and expect to achieve profitability from 2022.
Since 2019, we have successfully launched our first drug Buvidal across Europe and Australia, strengthened the scientific evidence-base and built an effective commercial infrastructure consisting of committed and knowledgeable employees with a strong foundation in our values and with improved treatment outcomes and patients' quality of life in clear focus.
During the third quarter, we welcomed new highly qualified employees to Camurus, including our commercial and medical teams, and recruited a new head of global market access. We announced that our CFO Eva Pinotti-Lindqvist, after seven successful years in the company, had decided to leave her position after handing over to a new CFO – and in October we announced that Jon U. Garay Alonso will take over as CFO and join Camurus' management team on 1 February 2022.
We believe we are well prepared as we enter the next phase of Camurus' development, with a clear focus on growth and international expansion, new approvals and product launches in pain and rare diseases, as well as increased activity in business development.
In addition to our own activities, we look forward to new advances in our partnerships in the near future, with a final approval decision from the FDA and Braeburn's launch of Brixadi in the US as eagerly awaited highlights.

Camurus has a broad and diversified product and pipeline portfolio of innovative medicines from earlystage development to marketed products. For the development of new drug candidates, we combine our injection depot technology, FluidCrystal®, with active substances with clinically documented efficacy and safety profiles. As a result, new proprietary medicines with improved treatment outcomes and patient benefits can be developed both in a shorter time and to a lower cost, as well as with lower risk compared to the development of new chemical substances. The aim is to bring forward new treatments that make a real difference to patients, care givers, healthcare systems and society by contributing to substantial improvements in treatment outcomes, increased quality of life and effective utilization of healthcare resources. Focus is on the three disease areas i) central nervous system (CNS), ii) rare diseases and iii) oncology and supportive care.

Opioid dependence is a serious, chronic, relapsing disease and a growing global health problem. Pharmacological treatment is often daily buprenorphine or methadone and whilst effective, these treatments have significant limitations, such as poor treatment adherence, misuse, medication diversion and accidental pediatric exposure.
Buvidal (buprenorphine) injection depot is used for the treatment of opioid dependence in adults and adolescents aged 16 years and over, within a framework of medical, social and psychological treatment. The long-acting subcutaneous treatment is available both as weekly and monthly formulations as well as in multiple dose options, offering flexibility and enables treatment to be modified to each patient's specific needs and circumstances. Buvidal gives both a fast onset and a long-acting effect, effectively reducing patients' withdrawal symptoms and cravings, and by blocking the effect of other opioids, has potential to protect against overdose.
The extensive clinical development programs leading to market approval demonstrated a significant improved treatment effect with Buvidal compared to daily administrated sublingual buprenorphine and also a favorable safety profile. Additional clinical studies have shown high patient satisfaction, treatment retention and a good safety profile similar to established profile for buprenorphine products, apart from mild to moderate injection site reactions.

The scientific and real world evidence base for Buvidal has continued to grow with a new publication reporting on qualitative treatment outcomes from the randomized controlled DEBUT study performed in Australia. This described the positive benefits for depot buprenorphine (Buvidal), including avoidance of stigma and engagement in structured activities, such as work and travel.1 It also identified time and cost savings for patients on Buvidal compared to daily administration. A new study from Germany showed the feasibility of transitioning patients from methadone to depot buprenorphine.2 The number of patients treated with Buvidal continued to increase in existing markets and Buvidal was launched in France and Slovenia in Q3. In the US, the updated NDA for Brixadi* is under review by the FDA with a PDUFA action date set for 15 December 2021.
* Brixadi™ is the US trade name for Camurus' product Buvidal®

CAM2038 is being developed to provide round-the-clock pain relief. While decreasing the risk of respiratory depression and fatal overdoses associated with full l u-opioid agonists, CAM2038 has at the same time the potential to protect against misuse, abuse and diversion. CAM2038 is primarily addressing needs for opioid experienced patients on high doses – there are currently more than 1 million patients in the US, Europe and Japan on daily opioid doses of 99 mg morphine equivalents or more.
CAM2038 has been evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 study in opioid experienced patients with chronic low-back pain, in which the study met both the primary and first secondary endpoints. The subsequant long-term safety study also included patients with other chronic pain conditions. Study results also demonstrated a safety profile of CAM2038 generally consistent with the known safety profile of buprenorphine and no unexpected adverse events were observed.
During the quarter, we continued preparations of a marketing approval application to the EMA to expand the label for Buvidal to include chronic pain. The application is planned to be submitted in the fourth quarter.
CAM2029 is a long-acting subcutaneous depot of octreotide under development for the treatment of three rare diseases; acromegaly, neuroendocrine tumors (NET), and polycystic liver disease (PLD). CAM2029 provides significantly higher octreotide bioavailability and octreotide exposure with the potential for improved treatment efficacy, compared to current market leading products. CAM2029 is developed to enable easy self-administration by patients, using a prefilled syringe with automatic needle guard or a prefilled pen device.

CAM2029 has been studied in four completed clinical Phase 1 and 2 studies, in acromegaly and NET patients as well as in healthy volunteers, with positive results. Two pivotal Phase 3 studies in patients with acromegaly are currently ongoing, as well as a new Phase 3 study for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors.
Recruitment and treatment of patients is ongoing in two Phase 3 studies of CAM2029 in patients with acromegaly. Topline results on safety and efficacy are expected in the second half of 2022.
During the period, the SORENTO study, a new randomized, active-controlled Phase 3 study of CAM2029 was initiated in patients with neuroendocrine tumors localized in the gastrointestinal tract or pancreas (GEP-NET). The study, which will include approximately 300 patients across around 90 clinical sites in North America and Europe, aims to demonstrate superiority in progression free survival with CAM2029 versus current medical standard of care.
Furthermore, during the quarter, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation in the US for CAM2029 for the treatment of polycystic liver disease . A Safe-to-Proceed letter for the start of a pivotal Phase 2/3 study was received by FDA earlier this year and preparations are underway for a planned study start early 2022.

CAM2043 is a long-acting subcutaneous treprostinil formulation developed as a patient-friendly and effective treatment option for people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). Besides providing less frequent administration and avoid the need for continuous infusion, CAM2043 can reduce the risks associated with current parenteral products for PAH, such as infusion related reactions, or the limitations caused by continuously having to carry an infusion pump. CAM2043 has been investigated in a completed openlabel Phase 1 trial.
The ongoing explorative Phase 2 clinical study of CAM2043 in patients with secondary Raynaud's phenomenon was further delayed as a consequence of the COVID-19 issues. The study is expected to be completed and reported during the first half of 2022.
CAM4072 is a weekly formulation of the MC-4 agonist setmelanotide, developed together with our partner Rhythm Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of a range of rare genetic disorders of obesity. During the summer 2020, positive results were reported from a Phase 2 study for CAM4072. Study results in healthy volunteers with severe obesity demonstrated that treatment effect with the weekly formulation were comparable to the effect achieved with daily injections of setmelanotid.
Rhythms' short-acting formulation of setmelanotide, Imcivree™, was approved by the FDA in November 2020 for the treatment of rare obesity disorders related to proopiomelanocortin (POMC), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1), or leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency. This was followed by approval in the EU in July 2021.
Rhythm has announced the intention to start two pivotal Phase 3 studies for CAM4072 during the second half of 2021. One study will include patients with POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR deficiency, or the additional indication Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) that are switched from daily setmelanotide injections. The second study will include de novo patients with BBS.
CAM2032 is a long-acting subcutaneous leuprolide depot candidate for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is developed for convenient self-administration by patients and has been successfully evaluated in two Phase 2 studies in prostate cancer. Additional potential indications for CAM2032 include endometriosis and precocious puberty. Discussions with possible partner for further development of the product are ongoing.
CAM2047 is being developed as a long-acting subcutaneous granisetron depot for the treatment of both acute and delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), a side effect experienced by a large number of cancer patients. CAM2047 has been successfully evaluated in a completed Phase 1 trial.
CAM2048 is a buprenorphine depot formulation for the treatment of postoperative pain providing rapid onset of action and therapeutic levels of buprenorphine over a couple of days. CAM2048 is being developed in collaboration with Braeburn Pharmaceuticals and has been evaluated in a completed Phase 1 trial.
CAM4071 is a long-acting formulation of pasireotide, a substance currently approved for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome and acromegaly as a second line treatment. CAM4071 has been studied in a completed dose escalating Phase 1 study, which evalutated pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety in healthy volunteers. Planning for further development of the product candidate is ongoing.
episil oral liquid is used for the treatment of inflammatory and painful conditions in the oral cavity, such as oral mucositis - a common side effect of cancer treatment. When in contact with the buccal membrane, episil transforms into a thin protective layer of gel, offering effective pain relief for up to 8 hours. Episil oral liquid is based on Camurus' FluidCrystal topical bioadhesive technology.
Sales and distribution of episil are conducted via in-house marketing in Sweden, Finland, and the UK, and through distribution partners in other countries, including Japan, China, South Korea and Australia.
Earlier this year, episil was included in the first oral mucositis guidelines released in China. In the guidelines, developed by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO), episil is recommended as standard treatment for oral mucositis.


Total revenues during the quarter amounted to MSEK 154.0 (100.3), an increase by 54 percent (54 percent at CER1 ).
Product sales were MSEK 152.0 (94.3), corresponding to an increase of 61 percent (62 percent at CER) compared to the third quarter 2020 and an increase by 11 percent (12 percent at CER) compared to the previous quarter.
During January-September total revenues were MSEK 417.8 (230.4), up 81 percent compared to the same period 2020. Product sales were MSEK 412.9 (218.6), up 89 percent. For further information, see Note 4.
Marketing and distribution costs in the quarter were MSEK 50.6 (42.0), and for January-September MSEK 150.5 (126.1), an increase primarily linked to launches and product sales of Buvidal® in Europe and Australia as well as expansion to new markets.
Administrative expenses for the quarter were MSEK 5.3 (24.2) and for the first nine months MSEK 21.3 (40.6). The difference compared to previous year is mainly related to the then ongoing arbitration process in England.
R&D costs, including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets, were MSEK 83.5 (47.1) and MSEK 282.4 (166.0) year to date. The increase compared to previous year is mainly linked to the continued progress in the three ongoing pivotal Phase 3 programs of CAM2029 for the treatment of acromegaly, neuroendochrine tumors and polycystic liver disease.
As a result of increased revenues, the operating result for the quarter increased by 73 percent and amounted to MSEK -6.3 (-23.4). For January-September the operating result was MSEK -92.4 (-123.6), an improvement of 25 percent.
Financial items in the period were MSEK -0.3 (-0.4) and MSEK -0.9 (-1.0) for the first nine months.
Tax in the quarter was MSEK 0.5 (3.5) and for January-September MSEK 16.9 (22.9), an income mainly representing deferred tax for the reported loss during the period.
The result for the period amounted to MSEK -6.2 (-20.3) and for the first nine months MSEK -76.4 (-101.8). Earnings per share, before and after dilution, were SEK -0.11 (-0.38) and SEK -1.41 (-1.95) year to date.
Cash flow from operating activities, before change in working capital, amounted to MSEK -0.5 (-20.8) and MSEK -80.5 (-118.2) for the first nine months.
The change in working capital affected the cash flow by MSEK -3.2 (-13.2) in the quarter and during January-September by MSEK -25.2 (-47.8).
Cash flow from investing activities in the quarter was MSEK -0.4 (-0.5) and MSEK -2.1 (-1.9) year to date.
From financing activities cash flow was MSEK 7.0 (288.8) in the quarter which mainly relates to exercise of warrants in TO2018/2021. During the first nine months it was MSEK 72.3 (286.6) and relates both to exercise of warrants in TO2018/2021 and to payments for exercise of TO2017/2020 in December 2020, which were received by the company during the first quarter 2021.
The cash position for the group 30 September 2021 was MSEK 426.5 (475.7). There were no loans as of 30 September 2021 and no loans have been taken up since.
Consolidated equity September 2021 was MSEK 827.5 (823.7). The difference compared to last year relates to the result for the period and the exercise of warrants in the warrant programs TO2017/2020 and TO2018/2021.
Total assets for the group were MSEK 1,046.0 (989.6).
The company's total revenue in the quarter amounted to MSEK 145.9 (100.1) and in the first nine months MSEK 399.5 (235.2). The result after tax in the quarter was MSEK -9.1 (-22.8) and for January-September MSEK -85.2 (-108.6).
On 30 September 2021, equity in the parent company amounted to MSEK 762.6 (770.8) and total assets to MSEK 926.5 (892.7), of which MSEK 372.7 (437.4) were cash and cash equivalents.
No acquisitions or divestments have taken place during the period.
Camurus' share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.
At the end of the period, the total number of shares and votes was 54,602,227 (53,636,858). During the quarter, 63,656 new shares were subscribed for by exercise of subscription warrants in the program TO2018/2021.
Currently, Camurus has four long-term share-based incentive programs ongoing for the company's employees, three subscription warrant programs and one employee option program which was launched 10 June, 2021. During the quarter and January-September, earnings after tax was negatively impacted by MSEK 0.7 and MSEK 3.2 respectively related to the stay-on bonus the participants receive as part of the subscription warrant program. Corresponding impact, without any cash flow effect, for the employee option program was 5.3 MSEK after tax during the quarter and during the first nine months 6.6 MSEK. For further information about the programs, see Note 2.3.
At the end of the period, Camurus had 146 (134) employees, of whom 83 (77) were within research and development and medical affairs, 48 (45) within business development and marketing and sales, and 14 (11) within administration. The number of employees, in terms of full-time equivalents, amounted to 132 (120) during the quarter and 129 (117) during the first nine months.
Our revised financial outlook 2021 is expected as follows (previously):
The pandemic has continued to affect our business. It has restricted direct contact with healthcare professionals and other stakeholders and resulted in prolonged delays of the pricing and reimbursement processes, which has impacted on revenue growth and postponed launches in several countries, and license revenues being behind plan.
The outlook excludes milestone payments related to the approval of Brixadi™ in the US and is based on exchange rates in January 2021.
Camurus Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 12 May 2022, at 5 pm CET, at Elite Hotel Ideon, Scheelevägen 27, Ideon Science Park, 223 63 Lund, Sweden.

Lund, Sweden, 3 November 2021 Camurus AB Board of Directors
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Camurus AB as of 30 September 2021 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the parent company.

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 Ideon Science Park, 223 70 Lund. Camurus AB group's interim report for the third quarter 2021 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, 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 Annual Report 2020, see camurus.com/Investors/Financial Reports.
As of the report for the second quarter 2021, IFRS 2 is applied to the employee stock option program decided on by the Annual General Meeting on 6 May 2021, see Note 2.3.
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 three long-term incentive programs active for the company's employees. The programs were adopted by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
The warrants are valued by an independent institute in accordance with Black & Scholes model and are acquired by the participants at market value.
As part of the program, the participants receive a threepiece stay-on bonus from the company in form of gross salary additions equivalent to the amount paid by the participant for the subscription warrants. The stay-on bonus is conditional on continued employment. Costs including social security fee, are based on how much has been earned, and are expensed over the vesting period. Expenses are recognized as personnel cost in the income statement.
At the Annual General Meeting on 6 May, 2021, it was decided to implement Incentive Program 2021/2024 based on employee stock options for the company's employees.
The options are granted free of charge and have a term of approximately 3 years from the grant date. Once vested, the options can be exercised during the period 1 June – 16 December 2024 (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 130 percent of the volumeweighted average price for the company's share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the ten trading days immediately following the company's AGM 2021 whereby the price was set at SEK 263.50. The incentive program comprises a maximum of 1,215,500 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 June, a total of 1,069,150 employee options were granted, of which 60,000 to the CEO, 225,000 other senior executives and 784,150 other employees.
The fair value of the option when implementing the program has been calculated using Black & Scholes' valuation model, which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price on the allotment date and the expected volatility in the share price and risk-free interest for the option. The fair value of the employee stock option was set at SEK 61.18 in connection with the implementation of the program on 10 June, 2021.
For further information about this program, see the minutes from the 2021 Annual General Meeting published on the company's website, www.camurus.com.
Below is a summary of the total number of shares that granted subscription warrants and employee options may entitle to as of 30 September 2021. Full exercise of allotted warrants and employee stock options as of 30 September, 2021 corresponding to a total of 2,107,712 shares would result in a dilution of shareholders with 3.86 percent. If decided, but not granted employee options, a further total of 146,350, are fully exercised, it would result in a total dilution of shareholders of 4.13 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 contructual 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. As of 30 September 2021, Camurus has managed part of the risk with currency derivatives forward contracts.
The group reports a deferred tax asset of MSEK 327.1 as of 30 September 2021. 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 development of CAM2038 for the treatment of opioid dependence (Phase 3 studies and regulatory approvals) and success in previous projects using FluidCrystal injection depot is what convincingly suggests that the company will be able to utilize its losses carried forward. The fact that the company has reported losses is natural in an industry where it takes considerable time to develop and launch new products, even when these are based on a proven technology and substances that are well-proven. The company sees the European Commission and Australian TGA's approvals of Buvidal® for treatment of opioid dependence in November 2018 and the launch and ongoing sale of Buvidal in EU and Australia as further validation of FluidCrystal injection depot, and are events that confirm the likelihood assessments made by the company when determening the amount of the deferred tax asset. The fact that the company's partner Braeburn received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA for Brixadi™ in December 2020, does not change the assessment. During the second quarter, Braeburn submitted the updated NDA application and FDA announced that PDUFA action date is set to 15 December 2021.
Future revenues will mainly be generated from Camurus' own sales organization in markets where Camurus have 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 2020 (The Director's Report).
The Board of Directors has not changed its outlook on future developments in relations to their outlook published in the interim report for the second quarter 2021.
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. During the period, no shares held as treasury shares by the parent company have been repurchased.
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 warrants and options. 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 warrants and 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.
