Press Release, 5 May 2011

Medivir Financial Statement, 1 January – 31 March 2011

A flying start to 2011 for Medivir

Huddinge, Sweden - Medivir AB (OMX: MVIR), a research-based specialty pharmaceutical company focused on infectious diseases, today announces its financial results and business update for the first quarter ending 31 March 2011.

Ron Long, CEO Medivir commented, "Medivir has had an excellent start to the year with considerable progress in a number of important areas of the business. Our lead project TMC435, a next generation protease inhibitor for hepatitis C, has reported further positive clinical data from its phase 2b clinical trials and has also commenced phase 3 clinical trials. A second hepatitis C development program, TMC649128, a polymerase inhibitor, started phase 1 clinical trials with our partner Tibotec Pharmaceuticals and indicates our continued drive and

On the commercial front Xerese™ our treatment for cold sores was launched in the USA by our partner Meda and this will trigger royalty flows as the product gains market share, trading on the practical advantage of being able in many cases to prevent cold sores occurring rather than just alleviating the symptoms of the disease as competing products do.

We are also delighted to announce post-period end our intention to acquire BioPhausia a profitable Nordic-focused specialty pharmaceutical company also located in Stockholm. This transaction, if approved, will provide Medivir with the infrastructure platform that is needed for TMC435 in the Nordic Region where Medivir has retained full commercial rights. It will also enable Medivir to in-license other specialty pharmaceutical products in order to build on the profits that are already being generated by BioPhausia".

Highlights of the first quarter 2011

Hepatitis C

TMC435 - Start of global phase 3 Clinical Trial Programs

In February, Medivir's development partner Tibotec Pharmaceuticals, announced the start of global phase 3 clinical trial programs for TMC435 for the treatment of hepatitis C in treatmentnaïve patients and in patients who have relapsed after prior standard of care (SOC) treatment. TMC435 phase 3 programs in both treatment-experienced and in treatment-naïve G1 patients were also launched in Japan in the first quarter.

The phase 3 programs in brief:

  • TMC435-C208 or QUEST-1 includes approximately 375 treatment-naïve patients
  • TMC435-C216 or QUEST-2 includes approximately 375 treatment-naïve patients
  • TMC435-C3007 or PROMISE includes approximately 375 who have relapsed after prior interferon-based treatment

The primary endpoints of the studies are to assess whether TMC435 is superior to placebo in achieving sustained virologic response (SVR), defined as HCV RNA <25 IU/ml undetectable, 24 weeks after the planned end of treatment (SVR 24), with the final analysis being performed after the last patient reaches week 72 of the study. Secondary endpoints include superiority of TMC435 versus placebo at 12 weeks after planned end of treatment (SVR 12) and at week 72 of the study. Evaluations of viral breakthroughs, relapse rates in treatment groups, safety and tolerability will also be assessed.

The studies will be conducted at more than 160 sites in 24 countries, including the U.S. and countries throughout Europe, and together seek to enroll approximately 1,125 HCV genotype 1 infected patients who are treatment-naïve or have experienced a relapse after previous interferon-based HCV therapy.

The start of the phase 3 trials with TMC435 in treatment-experienced prior partial and null responder patients are expected to commence later in 2011.

Further positive phase 2b data reported from the PILLAR study C205 in treatment-naïve patients

Medivir reported positive 48-week (SVR24) Interim Results of TMC435 from the phase 2b PILLAR study (C205). The 5-arm response guided study in 386 treatment-naïve patients showed:

  • TMC435 was safe and well tolerated with no clinically relevant differences in adverse events between treatment groups and standard of care (SoC).
  • In the TMC435 treatment groups 83% of patients were able to stop all therapy at week 24
  • Potent and consistent antiviral efficacy was demonstrated with SVR24 rates of up to 84%, these patients are classified as cured.

The results are derived from an intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis of the patient population who took at least one dose of the study medication and who reached the criteria for stopping all treatment at 24 weeks (83%).

Polymerase Inhibitor TMC649128 - start of phase 1a clinical trial triggered a EUR 7 million milestone payment

TMC649128 is a nucleoside NS5B polymerase inhibitor that has already demonstrated an attractive pre-clinical profile for the treatment of HCV, displaying in vitro activity across multiple HCV genotypes and a high genetic barrier to resistance. It is anticipated that this profile would see TMC649128 being used in combination with HCV directly acting antiviral (DAA) agents, given their high genetic barrier to resistance and antiviral activity across multiple HCV genotypes.

The clinical phase 1a study began in February and is a double-blinded, randomized, placebocontrolled single-ascending dose trial to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers and is conducted in Belgium. TMC649128 is developed in collaboration with Tibotec Pharmaceuticals.

Cold Sore Treatment

In March, Medivir commercialization partner in the United States, Meda AB, launched Medivir's unique cold sore product Xerese™ as prescription medicine (Rx). Medivir will receive double-digit royalties on sales.

It is expected that Xerese™ will also be launched by our partner Meda in Canada and Mexico and in Europe later this year by our partner GlaxoSmithKline in Europe as OTC.

Dengue fever

Research and Development collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals

By entering this Research and Development collaboration Medivir took a step forward in achieving its strategy to retain more value in its pipeline by taking products further into clinical development and securing a more active role in co-development.

The collaboration with Janssen on dengue fever utilises Medivir's strong know-how in the discovery of protease inhibitor drugs and sees Medivir contributing equal resources to develop drugs based on the inhibition of the dengue NS3 protease activity.

The terms of the agreement govern the discovery, clinical development and commercialisation of any drugs developed under the agreement. Depending on the level of funding through prespecified decision points, each party has the option to take products discovered through the research program forward through development and on to commercialisation. If both parties remain in the collaboration until product approval, Janssen will be responsible for commercialization. Medivir will receive pre-agreed royalties on net sales of future products that reflect its contribution to the development of products.

Post-Period End Highlights

TMC435

Week 24 interim results from the ASPIRE (C206) study in treatment-experienced hepatitis C patients presented at EASL

On April 1, Medivir announced that Tibotec had presented the results of a planned Week 24 interim analysis of the phase 2b ASPIRE study for TMC435 in treatment-experienced hepatitis C patients in a late-breaker session at the 46th annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), Berlin, Germany.

Despite treatment-experienced patients being the most difficult to treat hepatitis C patient group, TMC435 demonstrated excellent antiviral efficacy. In this Week 24 interim analysis, treatmentexperienced patients, who had previously failed peginterferon and ribavarin treatment, achieved significantly greater virologic response rates following treatment with TMC435-containing regimen at all dose regimens, compared with the SOC active control group. Results demonstrated that the TMC435 150 mg dose groups showed the highest response rates, particularly in prior null responders. In the 150 mg dose groups, HCV RNA levels were undetectable at week 24 for between 82% and 87% of the patients in an intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis. Results also showed that TMC435 was safe and well tolerated.

Strengthening of Medivir's commercial capabilities in the Nordic region

The acquistion of BioPhausia

On 11 April 2011, Medivir announced a recommended offering for the acquisition of all the shares of profitable Nordic specialty pharmaceutical company BioPhausia.

The acquisition is another step towards Medivir's aim to become a profitable research-based specialty pharmaceutical company. The acquisition will create a commercial platform and significantly expand Medivir's commercial activities in the Nordic countries. It is also an important step for the expected launch and commercialization of TMC435, where full commercial rights have been retained in the Nordic region.

The Offer to the BioPhausia shareholders consists of a mixture of cash and new class B Medivir shares as consideration, valuing each BioPhausia share at approximately SEK 1.65. The offer therefore values BioPhausia at approximately SEK 565 million (EUR 62 million).

An extraordinary general meeting (EGM) in Medivir will be held today, 5 May 2011 to adopt the necessary shareholder resolutions to issue the consideration shares and the acceptance period of the Offer is expected to commence on or around 2 May 2011 and expire three weeks later.

Project portfolio

Medivir has a broad-based product portfolio in several infectious disease indications, and the company will continue to focus on progressing this pipeline in addition to looking for new potential opportunities through acquisition or licensing. Future collaboration agreements on development will be sought which would ideally allow Medivir to retain the commercial rights in the Nordic region.

Employees

Medivir had 83 (79) employees at the end of the period, 54 (48)% of which were women.

Royalty obligations

A major part of Medivir's research and development projects were generated entirely in-house and Medivir is thus entitled to all revenues from such inventions. Other projects have their genesis at Swedish universities and entitle Medivir to commercialization revenues in return for modest royalty payments. In addition, some of Medivir's projects have previously been licensed to third parties, but have reverted to Medivir, and Medivir has undertaken to pay a royalty to the former licensee. In the first quarter of 2011, total royalty costs to third parties were SEK 13.2 (0.0) m.

Transactions with related parties

Senior executives, as well as companies owned by senior executives, are party to agreements with Medivir which entitle senior executives to royalty on products Medivir may develop on the basis of patented inventions acquired from these parties prior to and during the period of employment as researchers with Medivir. Payments totaling SEK 0.9 (0.0) were made in the first quarter of 2011.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

Pharmaceutical research and development to approved registration and launch is a highly risky and capital-intensive process. The majority of projects that are started never reach market registration. Medivir's ability to produce new CDs, enter partnerships on its projects and successfully develop its projects to market launch and sale, and to secure funding of its operations, are decisive to its future.

Medivir is exposed to three main categories of risk:

  • Exogenous risks such as competition and patent protection. If competing products with superior efficacy reach the market faster than Medivir's products, the future value of Medivir's products will be less than originally expected;
  • Operating risks such as dependency on external parties in partnerships and dependency on regulatory approvals;
  • Financial risks such as liquidity, interest, currency and credit risk.

A more detailed description of exposure to risk and how Medivir manages it is provided in the Annual Report 2010.

Outlook

Medivir is a research-based specialty pharmaceutical company focused on infectious diseases and has the ambition to be, within a few years, a profitable specialty pharmaceutical company in high growth. Medivir is working on a goal-oriented and strategic footing to create the best possible prospects of running it's projects quickly and with balanced risks. The company is positioned uniquely among specialty pharmaceutical companies with a potential blockbuster hepatitis C project TMC435 in late-stage development, a marketed product, Xerclear® /Xerese™ , approaching international launch and a broad earlier pipeline. The company also has a secure financial position.

Accounting policies

Medivir applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union. The significant accounting and valuation principles are stated on pages 54-58 of the Annual Report 2010. The group's Interim Report has been prepared according to IAS 34. The parent company uses the policies recommended in RFR 2 issued by RFR, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

Other new or revised IFRS and interpretation statements from IFRIC that came into effect after 31 December 2010 did not have any material effect on the group's or parent company's financial position or results of operations.

From 1 January 2011, Medivir has revised the income statement from classification by nature of expense to classification by function in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements. Medivir's management expects classification by function to present a more accurate reflection of Medivir's financial outcome and will improve comparability with other companies active in the same sector. In order to improve comparability in Medivir's progress, comparative figures for 2010 have also been revised. Consolidated financial performance and position are not affected by the revised presentation. Medivir's operations are divided between three functions:

Marketing and sales

This function is responsible for the commercialization of research projects, product launches and in-house sales of pharmaceuticals and via partners.

Administration

This function comprises Medivir's administrative functions such as management, corporate development, IR and finance department.

Research and development

This function comprises Medivir's research and pharmaceuticals development in pre-clinical and clinical trials and regulatory operations.

Review report

We have conducted a limited review of the financial statement for Medivir AB (publ) for the period 1 January – 31 March 2011. The preparation and presentation of these interim financial statements pursuant to IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our responsibility is to report our conclusions concerning these interim financial statements on the basis of our limited review.

We have conducted our limited review pursuant to the Standard for Limited Review (SÖG) 2410 "Limited review of interim financial information conducted by the company's appointed auditor." A limited review consists of making inquiries, primarily to individuals responsible for financial and accounting matters, as well as performing analytical procedures and taking other limited review measures. A limited review has a different focus and significantly less scope than an audit according to RS Auditing Standards in Sweden and generally accepted auditing practice. The review procedures undertaken in a limited review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance where we would be aware of all important circumstances that would have been identified had an audit been conducted. Therefore, a conclusion reported on the basis of a limited review does not have the level of certainty of a conclusion reported on the basis of an audit.

Based on our limited review, no circumstances have come to our attention that would give us reason to believe that the interim financial statements have not been prepared pursuant to IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the group, and pursuant to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the parent company, in all material respects.
