Message from the CEO Dear shareholders,

During the third quarter, we saw a 50% increase in the number of approved Episealer® orders (42) compared to previous quarter (28) and compared to the corresponding quarter 2016 (28). We are continuing to decrease our expenses, and expenses were SEK 1.6m (10%) lower in Q3 2017 compared to Q3 2016. Billing takes place upon delivery why revenues are recognized with some delay to order approval. During the quarter, we had a number of new surgeons starting to use our technology in locations such as Berlin, Nuremberg, Hochheim and Bad Frankenhausen. Early Q4, we started up new users in locations such as Suhl, Munich, Warwick, Bern, Sint- Niklaas, Aalst, Southampton and Essen. We can conclude that the Episealer® technology is gaining attention and acceptance in Europe.

Our priorities

If we look at the priorities for Episurf Medicals today, I would say that these are two-folded and closely related to

Clinical development

To start off with, a large European multicenter study involving 100 Episealer® patients is ongoing. The patients in the study are followed-up at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 60 months post-operatively with clinical scores focusing on pain relief and knee function. The patients have been enrolled since 2014 and the last surgery was recently performed. The surgeons involved in the clinical study are eleven leading European orthopaedic surgeons. Dr. med. Johannes Holz from Park-Klinik Manhagen, Hamburg, Germany, has been appointed principal investigator for the study. The study is expected to yield publications on both interim results and final results. A abstract has recently been submitted to a leading congress in early 2018.

Moreover, we are in the final stages of completing a comparative cost utility study together with the Linköping University, Sweden, showing the economic scenario over 40 years, comparing Episealer® to microfracture which

each other. We are focusing on increased revenues and our 50% increase of approved orders in the third quarter represented a strong development in this context. The second priority is the generation of clinical evidence which is the basis for successful commercialisation. Our concept represents a new technology, in a previously difficult to treat patient group. Commercialising such a technology must be backed-up by robust scientific documentation. On this topic, we have some intriguing updates to share.

is a widely used biological procedure. An abstract for this health economic study has also been submitted to a leading congress 2018. More on this topic. A Swedish multicenter study with 24 months' data following 10 patients is in the final stages before scientific publication. Dr Anders Stålman from the Capio Arthro Clinic in Stockholm is the principal investigator for this study and interim results were presented at two congresses in 2016. Further, Södersjukhuset in Stockholm (Stockholm South General

Hospital), Sweden, recently received approval to go ahead with a clinical study following 30 Episealer® patients over 60 months. A number of patients have been identified and the study will be initiated shortly. In addition, in the near future, another Swedish clinic is expecting ethical approval for a clinical study involving 20 Episealer® patients to be followed during 12 months. Furthermore, we are awaiting the scientific publication of another pre-clinical Episealer® article, with Dr. med. vet. Hanna Schell from the prestigious Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Germany, as the first author.

I think it is fair to say that our clinical pipeline is filled with highly relevant and very interesting publications, and there is more to come. We are in negotiations with a number of other institutions for both single- as well as multicenter studies on an international basis. We are definitely experiencing a growing scientific interest for the Episealer® technology. Looking at our proprietary data collection, we now have more than 280 Episealers® sold of which 244 surgeries have taken place, with the others being planned for the coming weeks. We now have 63 patients who have passed 2 years since surgery, and 7 patients have passed 4 years since surgery. On this theme, I would like to highlight something that we are particularly happy about: Our very first patient, a then 56 years-old physical education teacher from Stockholm, Sweden, has now had his implant for just about 5 years. This patient is currently in an intense training session for Vasaloppet, a 90-kilometer cross-country ski race, in March 2018. Today, we are posting an informational video of this patient, showing his way back to living life. In the movie which I encourage you to view at our website, I especially appreciate the session where Dr Nicolas Martinez-Carranza from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm informs the patient about the fact that the patient will be the first in the world to receive this implant.

Without hesitation, the patient accepts being treated with an Episealer® given the problems he was experiencing and the lack of treatment alternatives that were available to him. I think that this is a good illustration of the type of problems we are trying to solve for our patients.

Results presentations

In addition to publishing clinical results, it is of great importance that clinical results are presented by prominent surgeons at relevant and leading congresses and meetings. Recent examples of this includes the presentation from Dr Clemens Kösters from the University of Münster at the important AGA congress (Society for Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery) in Germany. Dr Kösters talked about his experiences using the Episealer® device and presented results from his patient cases.

In Norway, Dr Martin Polacek from Drammen sykehus and Prof. Lars Engebretsen from Oslo universitetssjukhus, Ullevål, both held presentations about the Episealer® technology at the Norwegian orthopaedic society's autumn meeting. Prof. Engebretsen's presentation focused on a patient who rapidly got pain-free after receiving an Episealer®, following several years of failed knee treatments. Dr Polacek's presentation focused on the Episealer® as a good alternative for patients with cartilage injuries, offering excellent preoperative mapping and planning capabilities and a straight forward surgical technique. Dr Polacek also highlighted the few complications and the good clinical results.

At the annual "uni-knee meeting" (Combined Bristol & Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Arthritis Symposium) held in Oxford, England in October, the so called "small implants" were yet again on the agenda. Dr Jon Waite from Warwick Hospital held a presentation on that theme and Episealer® was highlighted as one of the key alternatives

for treating this difficult to treat patient group. I was in the audience myself and it was encouraging to listen to the panel discussion where surgeons testified to the fact that they need treatment alternatives for patients who say "I want my life now". Today, patients are simply not accepting the alternative of waiting for years with severe pain until a knee replacement is the only alternative left.

We also just concluded our first ever Masterclass in Stockholm, where about 40 European surgeons participated. During this two-day educational event, a faculty consisting of Prof. Pieter Emans from University Hospital Maastricht, Netherlands, Ass. Prof. Karl Eriksson, Söder-sjukhuset, Sweden, Dr. med. Johannes Holz, Park-Klinik Manhagen, Hamburg, Germany, Dr Nicolas Martinez-Carranza, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden and Ass. Prof. Tim Spalding, University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, UK, led the discussions on the use of the Episealer® technology, covering topics such as clinical results, indications, practical use and case studies. Prof. Leif Ryd from Episurf Medical also participated by delivering a presentation of the background and scientific starting point of the Episealer® technology. When we combine the production of relevant clinical data with presentations from Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), we are effectively reaching out to a significant number of orthopaedic surgeons in our prioritised markets. We are confident that this scientific-based strategy is the correct one, and the recent weeks and months have clearly demonstrated a break-through on this strategy. Our continuous progress will take us closer to the significant volume opportunity that exists for us in the treatment gap of focal cartilage and bone lesions in the knee joint.

Concluding remarks

The type of progress we currently are experiencing is precisely the type of development we would like to see. That said, we are continuing to focus on increasing sales, but we must simultaneously ensure that we are strengthening our scientific base. And we are rapidly improving our position by doing precisely this.

Ending with a couple of personnel changes. As of today, Fredrik Zetterberg is appointed Head of Marketing of Episurf Medical. Fredrik is a highly skilled leader who has worked at Episurf Medical since early 2016 as Head of Sales Nordic and Benelux. For now, Fredrik will combine his two roles and we are grateful for Fredrik's contribution to our company. On a final note, I would like to thank Professor Seppo Koskinen for his contribution to Episurf Medical. As a member of our Clinical Advisory Board, Prof. Koskinen played an important role within the fields of radiology and imaging techniques. Prof. Koskinen left our advisory board during Q3 2017.

At Episurf Medical, we have a tremendous amount of work ahead of us, however, current developments are really inspiring and indicates a bright future for this company.

Business update and forward-looking statements

By the reporting date on November 10 2017, Episurf Medical's implants had been used in 244 surgeries. Episurf Medical has seen an increase in the business volumes in recent weeks, and another 36 orders are approved for surgery in the coming weeks. Episurf Medical's patients are experiencing significant improvements in pain and mobility. Furthermore, they are also experiencing a short recovery time. Out of the total implant portfolio of 244 implants, we now have 4 patients who have had their implants for more than 4.5 years and 63 patients have now had their implants for more than 2 years since the surgery date. During the third

quarter, 19 surgeries were performed with the Episealer® knee implant and we continued to make progress in all of our key markets. 42 orders were approved for surgery during the third quarter. We continue to note a demand for the Episealer® Femoral Twin implant as 53% of the surgeries performed in the third quarter were of this product. This clearly shows that there is a demand for treating the more elongated lesions and the Episurf Medical's technology and the Episealer® Femoral Twin implant meets this demand in a very good way.

Review report

To the Board of Directors ofEpisurf Medical AB (publ) Corp. id. 556767-0541

Introduction

We have reviewed the summary interim financial information (interim report) of Episurf Medical AB (publ) as of 30 September 2017 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information 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 and

other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does 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.

Conclusion

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, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting policies

The interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reports and the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Episurf Medical has previously reported capitalized development costs as operating income. These are now reported net against the development costs, which in practice means a reduction of other external costs and personnel costs compared with previous ways of presenting, which the management and the Board consider better to reflect the current operations. Prior periods have been restated. This does not change the accounting for capitalization of development costs and thus has no effect on either net losses, equity or assets.

Capitalized expenditures for development of products

Expenditure for development, where research results or other knowledge are applied to achieve new or improved products or processes, is recognized as an asset in the Statement of Financial Position only if the following conditions are satisfied:

• 1) It is technically possible to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it,

• 2) The Company intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it,

• 3) The conditions to use or sell the intangible asset are in place,

• 4) The Company demonstrates how the intangible asset will generate likely future economic benefits,
• 5) There are adequate technological, economic and other resources to complete development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and
• 6) The expenditure relating to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably

Directly related expenditure that is capitalized mainly consists of expenditure from subcontractors and expenses for employees.

Other development expenditure that does not satisfy these criteria is expensed when it arises. Development expenditure previously expensed is not recognized as an asset in subsequent periods. The group has assessed all the above criteria to be fulfilled during the period, the costs for development that has been incurred is therefor activated.

Shareholder and Board member Leif Ryd has received consulting fees of SEK 495,000 (405,000).

Serendipity Communications AB has received consulting fees of SEK 92,700 (617,409) and Serendipity Legal AB of SEK 11,250 (50,000)

Episurf Medical

– a unique solution for every patient

EPISURF MEDICAL WAS FOUNDED IN 2009 on a commitment to offering people with painful joint injuries a more active and healthy life through customised treatment alternatives. We put the patient in the centre of the design of implants and surgical instruments. By combining advanced 3D imaging technology with the latest manufacturing technologies, we are able to adapt not only each implant to the patient's injury and anatomy, but also the surgical instruments used. In this way, we can ensure that each patient receives treatment that is perfectly suited to his or her anatomy and, thus, ensure a faster, more secure, and better patient-specific treatment for a more active and healthy life.

A proprietary web-based IT platform for patient-specific design and surgical pre-planning

Episurf Medical's scalable μiFidelity® system has been developed for damage assessment, surgical pre-planning and cost-effective patient customisation of implants and associated surgical instruments. In a first step, the company's main focus is on early stage arthritic changes in the knee joint.

Three different knee implants with a focus on early stages of arthritis

Episurf Medical currently has three types of patient-specific implants on the market.

• » Episealer® Condyle Solo for the treatment of localised cartilage and underlying bone defects on the femoral condyles of the knee joint.
• » Episealer® Trochlea Solo for the treatment of localised cartilage and underlying bone defects in the area behind the patella (the trochlea area).
• » Episealer® Femoral Twin for the treatment of elongated localised cartilage and underlying bone defects both on the femoral condyles and in the trochlea area of the knee joint.
