CEO COMMENTARY

The key factor that enabled us to double our revenue in 2012 and achieve profitability one year ahead of expectations was the successful commercialization of Nalox™. During the autumn, we took the next step in our growth strategy – establishment in the U.S. The acquisition of Alterna has equipped us with our own sales organization in the world's largest pharmaceutical market and broadened our portfolio with established brands, including the rights to Kerasal Nail™ (Nalox™ in Sweden).

The rapid increase in revenue resulted from the successful progress made this year for the global commercialization of Nalox™, which is now sold in 20 countries. Nalox™ retains its position as the market leader in the Nordic region, where the total market for the treatment of nail fungus has expanded significantly as a result of our launch. We worked intensively during the year to support our partners and distributors in conjunction with the launches in 12 markets, which included France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Austria and South Africa. The product has also quickly become one of the leaders in several of these new markets. New agreements were signed with selected distributors in Canada, South Africa and Iran, and all remaining milestone payments were received from Meda.

In the U.S., Kerasal Nail™ was ranked number two in its category in U.S. drugstores1 . This is the result of a targeted launch in the U.S., where we successfully expanded distribution to more than 25,000 retail stores, including nearly all of the Walmart stores. Furthermore, Kerasal Nail™ was nominated to the Drug Store News'2 Top-50 list of the Most Innovative New Products in competition with thousands of products.

The integration of our acquired U.S. unit is proceeding as planned. An integrated organization is in place and the company was recently renamed Moberg Pharma North America LLC. The U.S. operation performed strongly in the fourth quarter, of which about one month is included in our accounts for 2012.

One of the accounting effects of the acquisition is a revaluation up to its fair value of the inventory held by the U.S. firm in the amount of MSEK 4.6, thus reducing earnings by a corresponding amount. A positive effect is that acquisition values of MUSD 17.9 will be eligible for tax write-offs in the U.S. for a period of 15 years.

We focus continuously on new ideas and products through internal development and evaluation of acquisition candidates. The aim is to meet the needs of patients for new treatments in commercially attractive niche markets. At present, we have two internally development projects in clinical phases: MOB-015 for the treatment of nail fungus and Limtop for the treatment of actinic keratosis (sun-damaged skin). A Phase II study of an improved formulation of MOB-015 was initiated in December and, for the Limtop project, Phase II data is expected in the first six months of 2013.

As a result of the acquisition of Alterna, we had the pleasure of welcoming new shareholders to the company bringing extensive experience and international networks: The Third Swedish National Pension Fund, Handelsbanken Funds and Rhenman & Partners, as well as the U.S. private equity fund Altaris Capital Partners.

Our shareholders can look back on a successful year. The progress in 2012 has made us a substantially stronger and profitable company, with favorable prospects for continued strong growth in 2013.

3 The Nalox™ and Naloc™ trademarks are owned by the company's partners and Moberg Derma has no ownership rights to these trademarks.

Kerasal®

Kerasal® is a product line for the effective treatment of common and difficult-to-treat foot problems. Podiatrists recommend Kerasal® products for the treatment of cracked heals, calluses, toenails damaged by fungal infection and psoriasis, foot pain and to soften and moisturize dry feet. Kerasal® contains salicylic acid, which is an effective agent for softening the stratum corneum, and urea (carbamide), which moisturizes the skin and helps to retain moisture in the new cell layers. The manufacturing process is patented. Several clinical studies have been published confirming the efficacy of Kerasal's® Foot Ointment for the treatment of extremely dry and damaged skin on the feet. The product is available for purchase in drugstores, food and mass retailers across the U.S as well as in some 10 international markets. The product line also includes professional products for resale only by podiatrists.

JointFlex®

JointFlex® is a topical treatment for joint and muscle pain. The products are produced using FUSOME™ technology, which improves the skin's absorption of the analgesic ingredients. During 2010, the product line was expanded with JointFlex® ICE, a cooling lotion supplied in a roll-on product. The product provides long-term cooling pain relief and contains natural pain-relieving ingredients. JointFlex® has been evaluated in a placebocontrolled clinical trial of knee pain (osteoarthritis), which showed that patients experienced significant and rapid pain relief. The study also showed that the majority achieved long-term pain reduction. The product is available in the U.S as well as in some 15 international markets.

Kaprolac®

Kaprolac® is used for problems with dry and flaky skin and scalp. The products are based on the Kaprolac principle, developed by the Swedish dermatologist Dr Sven Moberg.

Development projects

MOB-015

MOB-015 is a new topical treatment for onychomycosis (nail fungus) with fungicidal, keratolytic and emollient properties. Moberg Derma's patent-pending formulation technology enables the transportation of high concentrations of a fungicidal substance (terbinafin) in and through nail tissue. Because MOB-015 is applied locally, the side effects associated with oral treatment are avoided. Data from an earlier Phase II study has provided crucial information for the continued development program and, in December 2012, a new Phase II study was initiated of an improved formulation of MOB-015, which will include a total of 35 patients.

Limtop

Limtop is an innovative formulation for the treatment of actinic keratosis (sun-damaged skin and precursor of skin cancer) genital warts and basal cell carcinoma. Limtop is based on a patent-pending formulation of a proven compound (imiquimod) that results in an optimal dose being transported into the skin. The aim of the mechanism of action is to repel damaged cells through a local immunological and inflammatory reaction. The company's preclinical results show that Limtop has a far greater capacity than current treatments when it comes to transporting the active substance to the target tissue in the skin. The objective is a product with short treatment duration, an improved safety profile and an efficacy that is similar to or better than that of competing preparations. A Phase I trial encompassing 30 patients was successfully concluded during the first half of 2012 and results from a subsequent Phase II trial with 97 patients are expected during the first half of 2013.

OPERATIONAL PROGRESS DURING THE YEAR

Establishment of proprietary market presence in the U.S.

• In October, the company decided to acquire its U.S. partner, Alterna LLC. Through the acquisition, Moberg Derma gains access to a well-developed distribution network in the U.S. for non-prescription drugs and a portfolio of established brands, including rights to Kerasal Nail™ (Nalox™ in Sweden). Alterna has established relations with all the major U.S. retail chains. Its infrastructure and competence in marketing and distribution are proven, as shown by the successful launch of Kerasal Nail™. The acquisition price was MSEK 170 on a debt-free basis, which includes a possible additional consideration of not more than MUSD 5 and an initial consideration of MSEK 138, of which MSEK 39 comprised 825,652 shares in the company issued through an issue in kind. The outstanding consideration comprised a cash payment, which was financed partly through a private placement of 907,900 shares to certain Swedish institutional investors, raising MSEK 32 before issue expenses, and partly through a bank loan from Swedbank totaling MSEK 40, in addition to own funds.

Continued success for Nalox™/Kerasal Nail

  • In August, distribution of Kerasal Nail™ was expanded from 1,300 to 3,500 Walmart stores. Walmart is one of the leading retail chains in the U.S. and the increase in distribution is a key step towards Moberg Derma's goal of advancing Kerasal Nail™ to a market-leading position in the U.S.
  • In the same month, the company announced that all remaining milestones in the agreement with Meda would be achieved in 2012 as a result of successful launches in several European markets.

Distribution agreement for South Africa, Iran and Canada

  • In March, a new distribution agreement was signed with Pharmaplan (Pty) Ltd, which was granted the exclusive rights to market and sell Nalox™/Emtrix® in South Africa. Moberg Derma assumes production and supply responsibility.
  • In June, a distribution agreement was signed granting Ana Darou P.J.S. the exclusive rights to market and sell Nalox™/Emtrix® in Iran. Moberg Derma assumes production and supply responsibility.
  • In December, a distribution agreement for Canada was entered into with Paladin Labs Inc, which was granted the exclusive rights to market and sell Nalox™/Emtrix® in Canada. Nalox™/Emtrix® was approved by Health Canada in June 2012 and the launch is planned for the second half of 2013. Canadian studies indicate that more than two million people suffer from nail fungus in Canada.

Product and project development

  • Patient enrolment to a Phase II study of Limtop commenced in May, following approval from the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM), and all patients had been included by September. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three different dose regimens of Limtop on 97 patients with Actinic Keratosis (AK) on the head or face. The results are expected in the first half of 2013. Limtop is an innovative formulation of imiquimod for the treatment of actinic keratosis, genital warts and basal cell cancer. The objective is a product with short treatment duration, an improved safety profile and an efficacy similar to or better than that of competing preparations.
  • In November, it was announced that the final results of a Phase II study of MOB-015 on patients with onychomycosis were in line with previously communicated interim results. Since the clinical efficacy of the studied formulation was deemed insufficient, the company decided to initiate a new phase II study with an improved formulation. The first of a total of 35 patients were enrolled in December. MOB-015 is based on Moberg Dermas patent-pending formulation technology, which has been shown in pre-clinical studies to transport high concentrations of a fungicidal substance in and through nail tissue. Since MOB-015 is applied locally, the side effects associated with oral treatment are avoided.

Financial performance and corporate governance

  • In October, the Board of Directors decided, with the support of the mandate granted by the 2011 Annual General Meeting, to carry out a private placement of 907,900 shares to Handelsbanken Funds, The Third Swedish National Pension Fund and Rhenman & Partners Asset Management AB and raised MSEK 31.8 before issue expenses.
  • At an Extraordinary General Meeting on November 19, it was resolved to approve the Board's decision to acquire Alterna and to authorize the Board to execute an issue in kind of not more than 825,652 shares as part of the purchase consideration for the acquisition of Alterna. The sellers have undertaken not to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares in Moberg Derma for a period of twelve months after completion of the acquisition.
  • The Extraordinary General Meeting also resolved to increase the number of Board members to eight. George Aitken-Davies, Managing Director and co-founder of Altaris Capital Partners, was elected a new Board member.
  • Geert Cauwenbergh was elected to Moberg Derma's Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting in April. Dr Cauwenbergh is managing partner of Phases123 LLC (USA) and Board member of Ablynx (Belgium) and RXi Pharmaceuticals (USA). He formerly served as Chairman and President of Barrier Therapeutics (USA) and in senior positions at the Johnson & Johnson Group in the U.S. At the same time, Bertil Karlmark left the Board, having declined re-election.

CONSOLIDATED REVENUE AND EARNINGS (FULL-YEAR)

The subsidiary Moberg Pharma North America LLC (formerly Alterna LLC) was consolidated in the Moberg Derma Group as of November 27, 2012 and its operations are included in the income statement from this date.

SALES

Fourth quarter (October –December 2012)

In the fourth quarter 2012, revenue amounted to MSEK 29.9 (20.5), up 47 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. Product sales accounted for 66 percent of revenues during the quarter. In addition to product sales, all remaining milestone payments were received from Meda. Of product sales, Nalox™/Kerasal Nail® accounted for MSEK 15.8 and about one month of sales of the newly acquired products Kerasal® och JointFlex® for MSEK 1.5 and MSEK 2.7, respectively.

Full-year (January-December 2012)

Consolidated revenue amounted to MSEK 112.5 (55.9) for full-year 2012, up 101 percent. The majority, MSEK 78.6 (22.2), derived from the strong sales growth for Nalox™/ Kerasal Nail®. The company also recorded revenue totaling MSEK 4.1 from product sales of newly acquired products. Furthermore, the company received milestone payments of MSEK 29.8 (21.4) for meeting sales volume targets in the collaboration with Meda.

Revenue from product sales per quarter.

As expected, a seasonal effect occurred in the fourth quarter due to two factors: demand is greater during spring and summer and distributors in most markets reduce marketing activities off-season. Product sales increased 61 percent year-on-year.

Earnings

Fourth quarter (October–December 2012)

For the fourth quarter, an operating profit/loss of MSEK -0.7 (3.8) was reported, corresponding to an operating profit of MSEK 5.9 excluding acquisition-related expenses. The cost of goods sold was MSEK 7.3 (4.0). One of the accounting effects of the acquisition is a fair value valuation of the inventory held by the U.S. firm, increasing inventory with MSEK 4.6, thus reducing earnings by the corresponding amount. MSEK 1.5 of this amount was charged to consolidated earnings in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the outstanding amount is expected to impact earnings in 2013.

Other operating expenses for the quarter amounted to MSEK 25.0 (14.7), mainly constituting increased business development and administration costs totaling MSEK 11.0 (3.2). The bulk of this increase comprised nonrecurring costs in conjunction with the acquisition. The profit/loss after financial items amounted to MSEK -0.1 (4.4).

Tax on earnings for the period amounted to MSEK 6,3 (0) as a result of a reduction in the income tax rate from 26.3 percent to 22.0 percent, which will come into force in the financial year 2014. The reduction in the tax rate entails a corresponding reduction in the capitalized value of the loss carryforwards. The profit/loss for the period after tax was MSEK -6.3 (4.4) and the total comprehensive profit/loss for the period was MSEK -9.1 (4.4).

Full-year (January-December 2012)

The cost of goods sold was MSEK 24.9 (16.6), of which royalty payments constituted MSEK 2.4. As a result of royalty payments made, the company fulfilled its obligation toward Mobederm AB and future sales revenue will no longer by charged with royalty payments to Mobederm AB.

Operating expenses, excluding the cost of goods sold, totaled MSEK 77.8 for January to December 2012, compared with MSEK 50.4 in the year-earlier period. Transaction expenses of MSEK 6.6 resulting from the acquisition of Moberg Pharma North America are included in business development and administration expenses.

The largest item in operating expenses comprised research and development expenses, which in 2012 amounted to MSEK 30.8 (26.8), of which external R&D and suppliers accounted for MSEK 18.0 (MSEK 18.6). The year-on-year increase was due to increased staff for managing the product portfolio as well as maintenance of products on the market.

Consolidated profit after financial items amounted to MSEK 14.7 for the January to December period, compared with a loss of MSEK 6.4 for 2011. Earnings improved, primarily as a result of the higher sales revenue from Nalox™ and milestone payments from concluded agreements.

During the period, the company also reported a positive impact on earnings from deferred tax assets of MSEK 21.1, since the Board considers that there are compelling reasons to believe that future taxable profit will be available and can be utilized against unutilized tax losses. Accordingly, net profit after tax for the year was MSEK 33.0 (-6.4) for the 12-month period, MSEK 39.6 excluding acquisition-related costs. Other comprehensive income includes negative translation differences of MSEK 2.8 arising from the translation of foreign operations. The translation difference has no cash impact but affected total comprehensive income, which totaled MSEK 33.0 (-6.4)

FINANCIAL POSITION (FULL-YEAR)

Cash flow

Fourth quarter (October-December 2012)

Cash flow from operations was MSEK -2.7 (16.7) for the fourth quarter.

Full-year (January-December 2012)

Cash flow from operations amounted to MSEK 9.5 for 2012, compared with MSEK -9.0 in the preceding year. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MSEK 53.4 at year-end.

Capital expenditures

Investments in subsidiaries relate to the acquisition of Moberg Pharma North America and amounted to MSEK 97.1 (0) for both the fourth quarter of 2012 and the full-year. Investments in tangible fixed assets were MSEK 0.2 (0) for the fourth quarter 2012 and MSEK 0.6 (0.5) for the 12-month period. Furthermore, Moberg Derma has research and development costs that are expensed directly in the statement of comprehensive income.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Moberg Derma has no contingent liabilities. As collateral for the loan of MSEK 40 raised during the year, Moberg Derma pledged chattel mortgages in the amount of MSEK 20 and shares in Moberg Pharma North America LLC (Alterna LLC). Other pledged assets remain unchanged from those reported in the 2011 Annual Report.

CHANGES IN EQUITY (FULL-YEAR)

PARENT COMPANY

Moberg Derma AB (publ), Corp. Reg. No. 556697-7426, is the Parent Company of the Group. Group operations in 2012 were pursued primarily in the Parent Company (U.S. sales organization in a subsidiary added from 27 November 2012) and comprise research and development, marketing and administrative functions. Parent Company revenue amounted to MSEK 109.5 for the period January to December 2012, compared with MSEK 55.9 in 2011. Operating expenses, excluding the cost of goods sold, amounted to MSEK 68.4 (50.4) and profit after financial items amounted to MSEK 23.0 (-6.4). Net profit amounted to MSEK 44 (-6.4).

ORGANIZATION

At December 31, 2012, Moberg Derma had 28 employees, of whom 66 percent were women. Of these, 21 were employed in the Parent Company, of whom 71 percent were women.

4 Shares from the issue in kind in conjunction with the acquisition are covered by a lock-in clause according to which the sellers of Alterna have undertaken not to trade in shares of Moberg Derma for a period of twelve months after completion of the acquisition.

RISK FACTORS

The commercialization and development of new drugs is a risky and capital-intensive process. Risk factors considered to be of particular relevance for Moberg Derma's future development are linked to the results of clinical trials, regulator actions, competitors and pricing, production, partners and distributors, product liability and insurance, patents and trademarks, key personnel, sensitivity to economic fluctuations, future capital requirements and financial risk factors. A description of these risks can be found in the company's 2011 Annual Report on page 36. The acquisition of Moberg Pharma North America (Alterna LLC) alters the company's risk profile. In addition to the risks listed above, there are integration risks, major liability risks, increased exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and the economic situation in the U.S., as well as risks associated with inventory,

Over the next 12 months, the most significant risk factors for the company are deemed to be associated with market development, integration and the results of clinical trials.

OUTLOOK

Moberg Derma's goal is to create value and generate attractive returns for shareholders by delivering new topical drugs to the global market under continued growth and profitability. Crucial to Moberg Derma's future is the ability to commercialize new products, enter into partnerships for its projects and to successfully develop the company's projects to market launch and sales. The company's financial goal is to attain an operating margin (EBITDA in relation to sales) of 25%, while displaying continued strong growth, within 2-4 years.

In 2013, the focus will be on integrating the acquired U.S. operation, identifying further business opportunities and supporting the company's distributors to facilitate successful launches. The performance of partnerships entered into will have a major impact on Moberg Derma's income and cash flow. Our assessment is that we will continue to show revenue growth combined with profitability.

ACQUISITION OF ALTERNA LLC

It was announced on October 25, 2012 that Moberg Dermas had acquired its U.S. partner, Alterna LLC. Through the acquisition, Moberg Derma gained access to a well-developed distribution network in the U.S. for non-prescription drugs and a portfolio of established brands, including the rights to Kerasal Nail™ (Nalox™ in Sweden). The transaction was completed on November 27, 2012 and, as of that date, Alterna LLC has been consolidated in the Moberg Derma Group. The acquisition consideration was MSEK 170 on a debt-free basis, which included an as yet not paid additional purchase consideration of a maximum of MUSD 5 and initial consideration of MSEK 138, of which 825,652 company shares issued through an issue in kind accounted for MSEK 39. The remaining consideration is paid in cash.

The cash portion of the consideration was financed through a private placement of 907,900 shares to certain Swedish institutional investors who contributed MSEK 32 before issue expenses, bank financing of MSEK 40 from Swedbank and own funds. Direct expenses attributable to the acquisition, which are recognized in the consolidated income statement under administrative expenses, amounted to about MSEK 7.

Preliminary disclosures regarding the acquired net assets and goodwill are provided below. A final acquisition calculation will be established once the assets, working capital and contingent liabilities have been valued.

Preliminary acquisition calculation (KSEK)
Acquisition value 169,569
Fair value of acquired net assets 98,024
Goodwill 71,545

The goodwill of MSEK 72 that from the acquisition is attributable to additional product and marketing opportunities created by the combination of Moberg Derma's business/product development capacity and the acquired strategic platform for the sale of pharmaceuticals in the U.S. Through the acquisition, the rights to Kerasal Nail in the U.S. are returned to Moberg Derma. The entire amount of recognized goodwill is expected to be tax deductible in the U.S.

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION POLICIES

This year-end report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated financial statements have, in common with the Year-end Report for 2011, been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities.

"IFRS" in this document refers to the application of both IAS and IFRS as interpretations of these standards as published by the IASB's Standards Interpretation Committee (SIC) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

The Group applies the same accounting principles and calculation methods as described in the 2011 Annual Report. A number of new or revised standards, interpretations and improvements have been adopted by the EU and are applied from January 1, 2012. These changes have not had any effect on the Group.

Amounts are expressed in SEK rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. Due to the rounding component, totals may not sum up. MSEK is an abbreviation of million Swedish Kronor. KSEK is an abbreviation of thousand Swedish Kronor. Amounts and figures in parentheses are comparative figures from the preceding year.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Since Moberg Dermas operations comprise only one area of operation, the development and commercialization of medical products, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position as a whole comprise one operating segment.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Royalty commission of MSEK 2.4 was paid for the January to December 2012 period to Mobederm AB, a shareholder in the company. Having made these royalty payments, the company has fulfilled its obligation toward Mobederm and future sales will no longer be charged with royalty payments to Mobederm.

No other significant changes have occurred in relations and transactions with related parties.
