COMMENTS FROM THE CEO 2
Comments from the CEO
The third quarter of 2025/26 marks a recovery for EQL Pharma. Sales growth of 29 percent and EBITDA grows by 44 percent. Gross and operating margins also strengthen to 42 and 21 percent, respectively. The majority of the stockouts from the second quarter have remained in the third. However, deliveries of Memprex have worked well, resulting in an overall stronger quarter. A gradually improved inventory situation is expected in the fourth quarter combined with an additional product launch. During the third quarter, one new product was launched and five products were added to the pipeline. The forecast for sales growth for the full year 2025/26 remains at around 15%. Two new management team members were recruited during the quarter with the aim of strengthening the company's commercial capabilities internationally and the level of follow-up and analysis in the company.
Financial Overview for the Third Quarter
During the quarter, sales rose to SEK 118.9 million, an increase of 29% from SEK 92.2 million in the previous year. This represents a new record quarter for EQL. Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 32% to SEK 19.5 million compared to SEK 14.8 million the previous year, with an EBITDA margin of 21% (19%). The gross margin was 42% (41%).
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 72.7 (15.6) million at the end of the quarter. Additionally, there was unused working capital credit of SEK 34.0 (10.5) million.
CAPEX was SEK 11.9 (11.8) million during the quarter. We will closely monitor the level of indebtedness and take necessary measures to ensure it does not increase further. The most important aspect, of course, is to ensure that sales and EBITDA development follow the targets.
Long-term Financial Targets and Forecasts for the Current Financial Year
Sales growth in the third quarter is in line with the long-term goals of growing by 30% on average. The EBITDA margin of 21% does not reach the initial goal in the new five-year plan, to stabilize EBITDA at 25% during the first half of the period. This is mainly due to the remaining stockouts for several important products. For
the full year 2025/26, sales growth is forecast at around 15%. Some scrapping of, among other things, Covid-19 tests is expected to negatively affect the fourth quarter by three to four percentage points. The company's long-term goals remain unchanged.
Product Launches and Market Dynamics
During the quarter, a new product was launched. The portfolio thus grows from 46 to 47 launched products.
Six new products were added to our pipeline, which thus grows to 50. Four of these products are traditional niche generics for the Nordic region and two are Special generics products for the Nordic region.
The work to establish EQL in Germany and the Netherlands continues. Products that EQL already has in its portfolio or pipeline are being evaluated together with completely new products, specific to these markets. The focus during the quarter has been to analyze the markets and evaluate a large number of products. The first investment decisions will be made during the spring and for the German market the goal is to launch a pilot product already during the next financial year.
The application for approval of Memprex in BeNeLux has been submitted in the form of a so-called RUP ("Repeat use procedure"). This is a simplified procedure that is available within the EU for products that are already approved in an EU country. The procedure has a processing time of 6-9 months, instead of 12-18 months for new applications. EQL should therefore be able to obtain marketing approval for Memprex in BeNeLux during 2026/27, provided that the procedure is processed according to plan. For the German and French markets, launch activities are underway with the aim of launching in Germany in the spring of 2026 and in France during the summer. These markets are considered to have good potential, which is why extra focus is being placed on this work.
For Mellozzan, the application has been submitted to the GCC with the hope of being able to launch in 2026/27. GCC is a new market for EQL, which means that the timelines for the procedure are more uncertain. Marketing approval in Italy is expected during the fourth quarter and sales in Germany with Medice continue to grow. Dialogues are underway for several new territories for both Mellozzan and Memprex.
The inventory situation at the end of the third quarter is overall better than at the second. EQL is still waiting for some deliveries, but clear delivery plans have been developed in collaboration with suppliers and the situation is expected to gradually improve during the fourth quarter. A number of activities are underway to ensure better delivery precision going forward. Among other things, a feasibility study for ERP implementation has been initiated, more thorough follow-up with central suppliers has been implemented and overall basic processes have

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO 3
been upgraded. The work will continue in 2026 with the goal of finding precise, cost-effective and person-independent working methods.
Other
The situation for our carriers in the Red Sea has not changed since the previous quarter.
EQL has no exposure to the United States or direct impact from potential US tariffs. Moreover, sales of our pharmaceuticals are not affected by the economic cycle, which means that demand for EQL's products remains stable, even in a more uncertain global environment.
EQL is in a phase where there is a strong focus on ensuring that we can deliver on the new five-year plan over the long term. In this context, we are placing great emphasis on working with our suppliers to improve delivery reliability in the long term, including by increasing traceability throughout the supply chain, optimizing transport options according to the circumstances, and strategically ensuring redundancy at the production stage for our key products.

Product Development
Pipeline
EQL Pharma's reporting of the pipeline takes place at a general level and does not include 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.
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 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 nine products in the launch phase. Four of these are hospital products whose launches depend on the outcome of public tenders. The remaining five 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 charts to the right are intended to provide a best guess at any given time.
Marketed Products
The definition of "product" is a unique substance and / or formulation. So PenV tablets and oral 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.
Ertapenem has been launched in the quarter.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Geographic Markets
We currently operate directly under our own brand in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, 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.
Product Areas
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).
Outpatient care generics are primarily sold via various exchange systems such as the Swedish "Periodens Vara" system. The injectable products are generally sold via public procurement. The 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.

Additional Information
Parent Company
EQL Pharma AB is the parent company of the EQL Pharma group. Net sales for the Parent Company during the third quarter amounted to SEK 118.9 (90.6) million and for the period April to December to SEK 312.5 (258.7) million. Operating profit totaled SEK 19.6 (14.2) million for the quarter and SEK 43.7 (44.2) million for the period April to December.
Personnel
The number of full-time employees in the group is 23 (21), out of whom 13 (12) are women, at the Swedish parent company. In addition, the Group employs 32 (12) international employees, via a global platform for human resources management, who are mainly active in specialist functions and product and business development.
In addition to the permanent staff, there are long-term consultants with expertise in GMP, pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, business development and wholesale operations tied to the parent company.
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 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.
For a more detailed list of risks, we refer to EQL's Annual Report 2024/25, pages 47-48 and 62-63.
Our Financial Goals
For the new five-year plan, from 2024/25 to 2028/29, the goal is to grow by an average of 30%; stabilizing the EBITDA margin initially at around 25%; and at end of period above 25%. Our peak leverage shall be a maximum of 4.0x EBITDA, with a target at 2.5x. Sales growth for the current full year 2025/26 is forecast to around 15% and the EBITDA is expected to be around 20%.

Notes
NOTE 1 Accounting Policies
The Group applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting; the Annual Accounts Act and the Nasdaq Stockholm Rule Book for Issuers. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 p. 16A appear not only in the financial statements and their accompanying notes but also in other parts of the interim report. 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. Valuation according to IFRS 13 explains that fair value has been calculated for all financial assets and liabilities. 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. The parent company applies the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
NOTE 2 Segment Reporting
EQL Pharma's operations only comprise one operating segment; generics for prescription pharmacy sales and hospital sales, and therefore reference is made to the income statement and balance sheet regarding operating segment reporting.
NOTE 3 Allocation of Sales
Net sales divided in geographical markets.

{17}------------------------------------------------
Intangible assets are reported at the cost of acquisition minus accumulated depreciation and any write-downs. The useful life is reviewed at each accounting year-end.
For the recently acquired product portfolio from Medilink, the useful life has been estimated at 20 years and the products are depreciated on a straight-line basis at 5% per year.
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 14.0 (22.8) million during the period October to December 2025 and with SEK 34.7 (47.0) million during the period April – December 2025.
NOTE 6 Incentive Programmes
During the period April to December 2025, the company has allocated 100 000 new warrants to the company's CEO.
The warrants have been issued to the fair market value of the warrants at the time of subscription, which was be determined by Optionspartner as independent valuation institute in accordance with the Black & Scholes valuation formula. Subscription price per warrant amounted to SEK 7.38 and cash received amounted to SEK 738,000.
Subscription of shares by virtue of the warrants may be effected from and including 19 February 2029 to and including 5 March 2029.
Each warrant entitles the right to subscribe for one new share in the company at a subscription price per share corresponding to 200 per cent of the volume weighted average price according to Nasdaq Stockholm's official price list for shares in the company during the ten trading days that follows immediately after the publication of the company's interim report for April – June 2025.
In case all warrants issued in connection with the incentive program are exercised for subscription of new shares, a total of 100,000 new shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.34 per cent of the company's share capital and votes.
During the period April–December, two senior executives and one key individual in the Company chose to exercise 466,000 warrants under the Company's outstanding warrant programmes for the subscription of a total of 466,000 new shares. In total, 466,000 warrants were exercised in the two programmes, each of which entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 72.05 and SEK 67.50 per share, respectively. As a result, the Company received total proceeds of approximately SEK 31.8 million.
There are previously outstanding incentive programs in the company in the form of two warrant programs through which a maximum of 320,000 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 320,000 new shares will be issued, which corresponds to a combined dilution of approximately 1.08 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.
Description of the full terms and conditions for incentive programs can be found on the company's website under Investor Relations.
NOTE 7 Events after Accounting Period

Reconciliation tables KPIs, non-IFRS measures
