CEO's comments

The first quarter of 2025/26 marks a strong start for EQL Pharma. Sales grew by 30% and the EBITDA margin amounted to 24%. During the quarter, one new product was added to the pipeline and Memprex received marketing approval in France. After the end of the quarter, a new license deal for Memprex was announced, where the rights for BeNeLux were licensed to Goodlife. EQL also took its first steps for its own establishment in Germany and the Netherlands. Sales growth for the full year 2025/26 is forecast at around 30%.

Financial Overview for the first quarter

During the quarter, sales rose to SEK 107.2 million, an increase of 30% from SEK 82.8 million the previous year. Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 34% to SEK 20.5 million compared to SEK 15.2 million the previous year, with an EBITDA margin of 24%. The gross margin was 43% (45%). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 56.1 (13.4)

million at the end of the quarter. In addition, there is an unutilized working capital credit of SEK 27.2 (17.3) million.

CAPEX was SEK 23.6 (7.7) million during the quarter driven by a larger pipeline. This is fully in line with the company's ambition to add as many new products as cash flow allows.

The leverage amounted to 3.7x EBITDA, which is below the maximum leverage of 4.0. 2 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2025

Financial targets and forecasts for the current financial year

Sales grew by 30%, which is in line with the company's ambitions for the new five-year period 2024/25 – 2028/29. The EBITDA margin amounted to 24%, which is a sign of strength, given that the goal is to stabilize the EBITDA margin at 25% during the first half of the new five-year period, and then above 25%.

Product launches and market dynamics

No new products were launched during the quarter. The portfolio thus remains at 46 launched products.

EQL received marketing approval in France for our strategic key product Memprex during the quarter. This approval is the first since EQL's focused brand initiative for Memprex began and launch is expected in early 2026. We have also added a new partner for Memprex after the end of the quarter in the form of Goodlife for BeNeLux, which is a testament to the great potential that we see in Europe.

After the end of the quarter, a first step in an internally led European expansion was announced. Key people have been hired in Germany and the Netherlands with the task of identifying niche products there, in a similar way as EQL has successfully done in the Nordics. These two markets were initially chosen because they resemble the Nordic markets that EQL is used to in a number of key characteristics. Above all, these are mainly price-centric markets, where the player with the lowest price gets a majority of the sales, without

active marketing. Furthermore, the niche segment appears relatively unexploited in these markets.

During the quarter, a new niche generic was added to our pipeline, which thus grows to 45.

Other

The situation for our carriers in the Red Sea has not changed since last quarter.

EQL has no exposure to the US or direct impact from potential American tariffs. The sale of our pharmaceuticals is also independent of the economic cycle, which means that EQL is financially stable, even in a more uncertain global situation.

EQL is in a phase where a major focus is on ensuring in the long term that we can deliver on the new five-year plan. This means in concrete terms adding more new products and territories, working actively with the cost base and ensuring progress in our various development projects and launches. Furthermore, we are actively working with our new product area Special Generics and are starting work for Germany and the Netherlands, with the aim of expanding our total addressable market and thereby accelerating the addition of

new products going forward.

Significant events

During the quarter After the quarter

marketing approval in France

June 27th, 2025 – Methenamine Hippurate (branded as Altaromin©) have gained EQL's key product methenamine hippurate has gained marketing approval by the Health Authorities in France, where it is to be provided to patients by EQL's license partner Laboratoires Majorelle under the EQL owned brand Altaromin©. Launch is planned for early 2026, subject to reimbursement approvals.

for BeNeLux

July 2nd, 2025 – Memprex© (methenamine hippurate) license signed with partner EQL's key product Memprex© has been licensed for sale in BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg) with Goodlife Specialty BV, a leading local pharmaceutical company specialising in women's health, endocrinology and urology. There is currently no product with methenamine hippurate offered in the BeNeLux. Memprex© offers an alternative for treatment of recurring urinary tract infections which is both noninferior to long-term antibiotics and which doesn't increase the risk to develop antibiotic-resistant bacteria since it is an antiseptic treatment rather than an antibiotic. hippurate close to 13mEUR in 2024. For the exclusive rights to Memprex® in BeNeLux, July 8th, 2025 – EQL takes first step to establish itself in Germany and the

Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg (BeNeLux) is an area of approx. 30,5 million people. For reference, the UK with 68,3 million people had pharmacy market sales of methenamine Goodlife will, subject to reaching agreed sales, pay a six-figure sum in EUR spread over six milestones..

Netherlands

EQL has taken the first step to establish itself in Germany and the Netherlands by recruiting key people with knowledge of the local markets who can identify, develop/inlicense and launch niche generics for these markets.

The strategy that has worked well in the Nordics will be repeated in these new markets with similar history and healthcare systems. In addition to launching new market-specific products, the existing portfolio of EQL products, both marketed and in the pipeline, may be launched in these countries, provided that the conditions for profitability look good. EQL assesses that both Germany and the Netherlands have price-centric systems, which are very similar to those EQL is used to, and that there are therefore good opportunities to build niche portfolios with significant financial impact within 3-4 years.

Product development

Pipeline

EQL Pharma's reporting of the pipeline takes place at a general level and does not include, with the exception of launch phase products, the names of individual products or the products current or expected market potential. Our goal is to provide better guidance to shareholders without disclosing information to competitors and without our pipeline being interpreted as a financial prospect. The information is updated in connection with the quarterly reports.

Figure 1. Total pipeline of products and how many products are in Review phase and Launch phase respectively.

Products in different phases

Development phase is used here as a general term. In this term all products we actually develop together with partners in, for example, India or the EU are included. But in addition to these products, the term also includes all products on which we have signed licensing or distribution 4 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2025

agreements for one or more geographical markets, although we do not develop the product ourselves.

When a product is fully developed, the application is submitted to the Medicines Agency in the markets where we intend to sell the product. The Agency's then initiate an audit, which generally takes about one year from application to approval. We call this step Review phase. At the end of the quarter, we had eleven products in the review phase.

When we know that the product is approved, we can place orders for manufacturing and delivery. In parallel with this, we apply for government reimbursement and tenders to the extent that they are available. We call this step the launch phase and usually it takes about six to twelve months from approval until the first package is delivered to pharmacies.

Products in the Launch phase

At the end of the quarter, we had eight products in the launch phase. Four of these are hospital products whose launches depend on the outcome of public tenders. The remaining four are classified as outpatient products of which one is part of the Specialty Generics product area.

During all stages from the development phase to the launch phase, situations can arise that risk delaying a launch or even making it impossible. Both ourselves and our carefully selected partners do everything we can to prevent these situations from occurring, but there are always risk factors beyond our control. This means that launches can take place both earlier and later than indicated. The chart below is intended to provide a best guess at any given time.

Expected launches

Figure 2. The company's product launches for the current fiscal year and expected product launches up to and including fiscal year 2029/30.

Market

EQL Pharma has an aggressive growth strategy driven by the launch of new products combined with expansion into new markets. Our products are often generic to originals that have been around for a very long time. The definition of "product" is a unique substance and / or formulation. So PenV tablets and oral

This means that the markets we enter are generally mature, but also that there are few, if any, generic competitors to our products and that it is unlikely that many new ones will be added.

Marketed products

suspension count as two products, not one. A product can be launched in several countries at the same time with different pack sizes but is still only counted as one product launch. Product areas

No new products have been launched in the quarter.

Geographic markets

We currently operate directly under our own brand in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Austria and Portugal.

In the rest of the world our products are sold indirectly through partners.

In 2025/26 and beyond, we will expand our geographical presence worldwide. Depending on the market, this will be done through a direct or indirect sales model. 5 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2025

We currently develop and sell only prescription drugs and rapid tests in our core product. There are

several interesting product areas in this category. So far, we have mostly focused on the area of interchangeable generics in outpatient care (Pharmacy), injectable products for inpatient care (Hospital) and tests to identify Covid and/or influenza infections (Tests). The intention going forward is to broaden the portfolio to include more unique products/formulations for primarily outpatient care (Brands) and non-interchangeable generics (Specialty Generics). "Periodens Vara" system. The injectable products are generally sold via public procurement. The

Outpatient care generics are primarily sold via various exchange systems such as the Swedish unique and non-interchangeable products achieve sales only through prescriptions specifically for our product and the tests are sold directly to consumers with pharmacies as the primary sales channel.

Market

Pharmacy

From this quarter, we are changing the name of the product area "Retail" to "Pharmacy" to avoid misunderstandings as "Retail" can easily be interpreted as all retail trade.

During the quarter, Denmark introduced a contingency stock that requires us to keep six weeks of stock of all outpatient products that we sell in Denmark. As we generally keep significantly higher stocks than this on average, this has not resulted in any noticeable increase in stock levels. However, during the quarter, we have had to reallocate some stock from wholesalers in Sweden to Denmark to meet the requirements.

Hospital

During the quarter, EQL won tenders in Denmark and Sweden and began sales in new multi-year agreements in Denmark.

Brands

6 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2025 During the quarter, EQL's proprietary product methenamine hippurate was approved in France where it will be sold under the EQL-owned brand name "Altaromin" instead of the Memprex brand, as requested by the local partner and licensee Laboratories Majorelle. Altaromin is used for the treatment of recurrent urinary tract

infections and will be the first treatment in France that does not involve antibiotics and increases the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Launch is expected in EQL's fourth financial quarter 2025/26.

Tests

There has been no Covid epidemic during the quarter and sales of tests have therefore been moderate.

Specialty Generics

Starting this quarter, we will report on current market events for our new Specialty Generics product area, which includes generics that are not interchangeable with other generics or the originator drug.

The area currently has two dedicated and knowledgeable employees with many years of experience in selling this type of drug.

Examples of Specialty Generics

There are several different reasons why a drug is classified as "non-substitutable." Here are some of them.

  • A. Medicines with a narrow therapeutic window, i.e. where the dosage difference between substandard effect and toxicity is so small that switching between generics is impossible. Examples include medicines used in transplantation or epilepsy. B. Medicines with distinctly different flavours, C. Medicines with different classifications, e.g.
  • specifically intended for children.
  • over-the-counter vs. prescription vs. dietary supplements, where the requirements from authorities regarding safety, efficacy and quality are different. D. Medicines that differ significantly from other
  • medicines with the same effective substance, e.g. regarding administration, strength or formulation. Examples include medicines with unique inhalers or injection pens. E. Medicines with the same substance but with
  • differences in important parameters in their market approval. Examples include differences in use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Risk factors

This financial report includes statements that are forward looking but actual future results may differ materially from those anticipated. In addition to the factors discussed, the earnings can be affected by delays and difficulties in the various phases of development, such as formulation, stability, preclinical and clinical trials, but also potentially competition, economic conditions, patent protection and the exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, and political risks. Several risk factors may have a negative impact on the 10 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2025

operations of EQL Pharma. It is therefore important to consider the relevant risks alongside the Company's growth opportunities. The following text describes risk factors in no particular order and with no claim to be exhaustive. Delays in launching new products can mean deterioration in earnings for the company and it cannot be excluded that the EQL Pharma in the future may need to raise additional capital. An aggressive investment strategy from competition could pose risks in the form of slower sales and weaker profitability. Increased competition could lead to negative sales and earnings effects for the Company in the future.

External factors such as inflation, currency and interest rate fluctuations, supply and demand, booms and recessions as well as geopolitical such as the unrest in the Middle East may have an impact on operating costs, freight costs, selling prices and equity valuations. EQL Pharma's future revenues and valuation of shares may be adversely affected by these factors, which are beyond the Company's control. A large part of the purchases is made in euro whose value can change significantly.

EQL Pharma will continue to develop new products in its field. Time and cost aspects of product development can be difficult to pre-determine with accuracy. This entails the risk that a proposed product is more costly than planned or takes longer than planned.

Additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known to EQL Pharma may be developed into important factors that affect the Company's operations, results and financial position.

Accounting policies

EQL Pharma's consolidated accounts are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). EQL Pharma's interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. For the Group, the same accounting policies as those adopted for this report are described on pages 56-61 of the company's Annual Report for 2024/2025 with the addition of IFRS 13 where fair value has been calculated for all financial assets and liabilities and with additions for acquired products based on the assets' acquisition values and estimated useful lives of up to 20 years. The fair value of other financial assets, other receivables, trade receivables and other short-term receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and other liabilities and interest-bearing liabilities is estimated to be equal to its book value. The company has loans with variable interest rates and thus the fair value is deemed to be in line with the book value.

Notes

Note 5 Transactions with related parties

The nature and extent of related party transactions are described in the group's annual report for 2024/25.

Transactions with related parties arise in the day-to-day operations and are based on commercial terms and market prices. In addition to customary transactions between group companies and remuneration to management and the board, the following transactions with related parties have taken place during the period: Transactions with Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd regarding goods purchases and development costs have taken place with SEK 8.8 (14.4) million during the period April to June 2025.

Note 6 Incentive Programmes

warrants.

There are previously outstanding incentive programs in the company in the form of four warrant programs through which a maximum of 832,000 new shares may be issued. If all warrants that have been issued and held by participants are fully utilized for the subscription of shares, a total of 832,000 new shares will be issued, which corresponds to a combined dilution of approximately 2.78 percent of the company's share capital and votes after full dilution.

The earnings conditions mean that the individuals annually for 3.5 years earn the right to the warrants and where it exists a requirement for employment during the respective period. As the warrants in the Warrants Programs will be issued to the participant at their fair market value, it is the company's assessment that no social costs will occur for the company as a result of the Warrants Programs. 19 INTERIM REPORT APRIL - JUNE 2025

Description of the full terms and conditions for incentive programs can be found on the company's website under Investor Relations.
