TELEPHONE CONFERENCE
CEO Peter Wolpert will present the report at a teleconference at 2.00 p.m. (CET) on Monday, March 2, 2015. Telephone: SE: +46 8 56642700, US: +1 8558315945
CEO's COMMENTS
After a strong fourth quarter with 38% growth in product sales (excluding milestone payments), we achieved two major objectives – reaching 200 MSEK in annual sales and completing our first full year of profitability from recurrent sales. For the year, we delivered an EBITDA of 25 MSEK, equaling 13% EBITDA margin, and held gross margin at 75% (72% in the fourth quarter). EBITDA for our commercial operations (which excludes R&D and business development costs related to future products) was 43 MSEK for the year, equaling 22% Commercial EBITDA margin (21% in the fourth quarter).
Strong growth in U.S. direct sales
Our U.S. sales grew by 35% in the fourth quarter (26%, at fixed exchange rates) with Kerasal Nail® as the key growth driver. Importantly, Kerasal Nail maintained a U.S. market share above 20%1 despite lower marketing investments compared to last year, which was a key element in the 2014 profitability improvement plan. The extension of our partnership with the Emerson Group to include logistics will enable internal resources to focus on our core - managing our brands and executing marketing initiatives. The launches of two new products - Kerasal Nail Fungal Nail Repair at CVS in early 2015 and Kerasal Nail Complete Care at Walgreens and other retailers - should further drive sales growth in 2015.
Expansion into Asia drove distributor sales growth
Distributor sales grew by 44% in the fourth quarter excluding milestone payments. Continued growth in Canada and the launch in Asia were key growth drivers. The results in Malaysia, the first Asian market to launch, are excellent to date with product distribution secured in the pharmacies, positive responses to the first series of TV commercials and good reorder rates. The recent market approval in China and launches initiated in several Southeast Asian markets creates excellent opportunities to drive further growth. We expect most of the contracted markets in Asia to launch as planned during 2015.
Sales to European distributors were weak in the fourth quarter, partly due to seasonal variation between quarters. We are continuously evaluating ways to improve sales in prioritized markets and to that end we recently changed our distribution partner in Russia – a market yet to be launched but which we believe has significant long-term potential.
Innovation engine - MOB-015 US patent granted
As discussions for potential financial and industrial partners for MOB-015 continue, we marked another milestone in the quarter with key patent approval for MOB-015 in U.S. which strengthens the value of our MOB-015 asset. The clinical study for BUPI in oral mucositis patients is proceeding according to plan - we expect to announce topline results this summer. The innovation and launches of two new Kerasal Nail line extensions in the U.S. also demonstrate our continued commitment to becoming the leading player for nail fungus related problems.
Delivered on goal - and aiming for further growth
Early last year, we set out to make improved profitability our highest priority for 2014. By prioritizing profitability improvement ahead of maximizing sales growth, there were some tough choices that were required, such as reducing advertising for some of our mature brands and forgoing investments that would have maximized our growth for Kerasal Nail in the U.S. Those decisions paid off as we delivered significantly improved profitability in 2014.
I am very pleased with the last quarter as well as the full year. We have strengthened our financial position, delivered profitability from our base business, strengthened our leadership team and advanced our Innovation Engine with pipeline assets as well as line extensions for our key strategic brand. We are in a strong position to drive further growth in sales and earnings.

Nalox™ / Kerasal Nail®
Clinically proven for the treatment of nail fungus. The product was launched in the Nordic region in the autumn of 2010 and quickly became the market leader. The international launch is ongoing via a direct sales organization in the U.S. and ten partners that hold rights for more than 60 markets, including the major EU markets, Canada, China, and South East Asia. Nalox™ is an over the counter product sold under the names Naloc ™and Emtrix® in certain markets and Kerasal Nail® in the U.S.2 . Efficacy and safety have been documented in several clinical trials with more than 600 patients. Nalox™ has a unique and rapid mechanism of action, demonstrating highly competitive results, including the achievement of visible improvement within 2-4 weeks of treatment.
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 heels, calluses and foot pain, and to soften and moisturize dry feet. Kerasal® contains salicylic acid, an effective agent for softening the upper layer of the skin (stratum corneum), and urea (carbamide), which moisturizes the skin and helps to retain moisture in new cell layers. The manufacturing process is patented. Several clinical trials have been published confirming the efficacy of Kerasal® for the treatment of extremely dry and damaged skin on the feet. The non-prescription product is sold at pharmacies and various retailers across the U.S. The series also includes products for resale only by specialists. During autumn 2013, the product line was expanded to include Kerasal® NeuroCream, a non-prescription analgesic foot cream.
JointFlex®
JointFlex® is a topical non-prescription treatment for joint and muscle pain. The products are produced using FUSOME™ technology, which improves the skin's absorption of the analgesic ingredients. The product provides long-term cooling pain relief and contains natural pain-relieving ingredients. JointFlex® has been evaluated in a placebo-controlled clinical trial of knee pain (osteoarthritis), which showed that patients experienced significant and rapid pain relief. The trial also showed that the majority of users of JointFlex® gained long-term pain relief. The product is available in the U.S., primarily through the same sales channels as Kerasal®.
Domeboro®
Domeboro® is a topical drug for the treatment of itching and irritated skin, for example, caused by plant toxins, insect bites or reactions to detergents/cosmetics. The product has a drying and astringent effect (contributes to the contraction of superficial blood vessels in the skin), which reduces inflammation. The product has been on the market for over 50 years and has nationwide distribution in the U.S. at CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and Walmart along with several regional chains. Moberg Pharma acquired Domeboro® from Bayer Healthcare in December 2013.
Vanquish®
Vanquish® is an analgesic for the treatment of headaches, menstrual pains, back and muscle aches and cold pains. Vanquish® contains the active ingredients paracetamol (called acetaminophen in the U.S.), aspirin and caffeine. The product was launched in 1964 and has nationwide distribution in the U.S. at Walgreens and Walmart, as well as regional distribution at several smaller retail chains. Vanquish® was included in the product portfolio that Moberg Pharma acquired from Bayer Healthcare in December 2013.
Fergon®
Fergon® is an iron supplement that is marketed primarily for women. The product is sold nationally at Rite Aid stores and through wholesalers to independent pharmacies and retailers. Fergon® was included in the product portfolio that Moberg Pharma acquired from Bayer Healthcare in December 2013.
2 The Nalox™ and Naloc™ brands are owned by the company's partners and Moberg Pharma has no ownership rights in relation to these brands.
Development projects
MOB-015
MOB-015 is a new topical treatment for nail fungus (onychomycosis) with fungicidal, keratolytic and moisturizing properties. The company's patent-pending formulation technology enables the transportation of high concentrations of a fungicidal substance (terbinafine) in and through nail tissue. As MOB-015 is applied locally, the side effects that can be observed with tablet treatment are avoided. The company estimates the peak sales potential of the product to MUSD 250-500. Data from an earlier Phase II study provided crucial information for the continued development program and, in December 2012, a new Phase II study of an improved formulation of MOB-015 was initiated with the help of leading expertise at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. Patients with 25-75% of a large toenail affected by nail fungus was treated for 12 months and monitored for an additional three months with respect to the endpoints that the FDA and EMA normally accept for the indication of nail fungus. Positive results from this study were presented in mid-September 2014. The primary treatment objective, mycological cure, was achieved in 13 of the 24 patients (54%) who participated in the study. The secondary treatment objective, mycological cure and excellent clinical improvement or cure, was achieved by seven of the 24 patients (29%). Biopsies confirmed high levels of terbinafine in the nail plate and nail bed. MOB015 was generally well tolerated. This study included patients with more severe onychomycosis than recently published studies of topical treatment alternatives.
BUPI - Bupivacaine lozenge
BUPI is an innovative and patent-pending lozenge formulation of the proven compound bupivacaine for treatment of oral pain. As the initial indication, Moberg Pharma has selected pain management for patients suffering from oral mucositis during cancer therapy. Promising clinical data supporting safety and efficacy has been demonstrated in several pilot studies - most importantly that the novel lozenge formulation provides significantly longer and better pain relief than currently available non-opioid treatment alternatives for patients with oral mucositis. Moberg Pharma initiated a Phase II study in oral mucositis during the fourth quarter of 2014. Moberg Pharma has also identified several additional potential indications for the product, such as Sjögren's syndrome, burning mouth syndrome, endoscopic procedures, oral intubations and longterm OTC use for sore throat. The company estimates the sales potential of the product at MUSD 50-100 assuming successful commercialization in the treatment of oral mucositis and at least one additional indication.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DURING 2014
Expanded distribution
Distribution agreement with Menarini for Kerasal Nail® expanded to South East Asia
In February, the company announced that Menarini Asia-Pacific, part of the Menarini Group - one of the 40 largest global pharmaceutical companies - has been granted exclusive rights to market and sell Kerasal Nail® in eight countries in South East Asia.
The expanded distribution agreement is based on an existing partnership between the two companies, which resulted in the successful launch of the product in Italy and a previous distribution agreement for China. Menarini is a leading regional pharmaceutical company in the Asia-Pacific region, with more than 3,500 employees in 13 markets and with a documented successful ability to launch and market brands in the consumer health area. The expansion encompasses eight countries in South East Asia: Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam. These countries comprise a market exceeding 550 million inhabitants in one of the world's fastest growing regions, and represent a significant long-term growth opportunity for Moberg Pharma. Moberg Pharma believes that Menarini Asia-Pacific's indepth insight into local market conditions makes it an ideal partner to manage the opportunities and challenges existing in these various markets.
Intensified cooperation with the Emerson Group in the U.S.
In November, Moberg Pharma announced that the company had entered into a services agreement with Emerson Healthcare, a division of Emerson Group, which will provide certain logistical services and all order to settlement functions for retail and wholesale customers in the U.S. At the same time, a new Sales Representation Agreement was signed with the Emerson Group. The two agreements are expected to result in savings in sales and administrative expenses.
Product and project development
Positive results from Phase II clinical trial for MOB-015
In September, positive results were announced from the Phase II clinical trial of MOB-015. After 12 months of treatment with MOB-015 and a three-month follow-up period, 54% of the patients were mycologically cured (free from fungus). No side effects related to the product have been identified. MOB-015 is a topical formulation of terbinafine for the treatment of nail fungus. The study confirms the product concept underlying MOB-015 and provides a basis for a Phase III study and discussions with potential partners.
Launch of new patent-pending formulation of Kerasal Nail® in the U.S.
In March, the company announced the start of deliveries of a new, improved patent-pending formulation of the company's market leading product Kerasal Nail® to customers in the U.S. The new product is being delivered under existing agreements and will gradually replace the previous product at all retailers, including major pharmacy chains, such as CVS, Walgreens and Rite-Aid, mass retailers such as Walmart and Target and leading grocery chains such as Safeway and Publix. The new formula provides benefits to consumers by improving user-friendliness, facilitating nail penetration and improving stability. Moberg Pharma has applied for patent protection for the new product with a projected expiry date in 2034.
New line extension of Kerasal Nail® targeted at customers wishing to purchase beauty products
In December, deliveries commenced to CVS of Kerasal Nail® Fungal Nail Repair, a new line extension of Kerasal Nail®. CVS is the first pharmacy chain to sell the new product, which in its new packaging is specifically aimed at customers in the beauty segment.
Acquisition of global rights to innovative topical formulation for the treatment of oral pain
In April 2014, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement with the Danish company Oracain II Aps to acquire the global rights to a novel and patent-pending oral formulation of the proven substance bupivacaine for the treatment of pain in the oral cavity. The initial indication is for pain management for patients suffering from oral mucositis during cancer therapy. Oracain is entitled to an initial payment after positive Phase II data and royalties on future sales when gross profit generated from these sales exceeds Moberg Pharma's accumulated development costs incurred prior to launch.
First patient included in the Phase II study with BUPI
In October, Moberg Pharma announced that the first patient had been included in a randomized, controlled Phase II study of BUPI, a novel topical formulation for the treatment of oral pain. The aim is to confirm the promising results gained from several smaller pilot studies and to evaluate whether bupivacaine formulated as a lozenge can be an effective, safe and patient friendly treatment of oral pain. The results are expected in the first half of 2015.
Strengthened financial position
Private placement of MSEK 60 for continued expansion
In May 2014, the Board of Directors resolved, based on authorization from the 2014 Annual General Meeting, to disapply the shareholders´ preferential rights and issue 2,068,965 new shares to a limited group of Swedish and international institutional qualified investors at a price of SEK 29 per share through a private placement. The private placement generated approximately MSEK 60 before transaction costs, and the proceeds from the private placement will strengthen Moberg Pharma's balance sheet and enable value-creating investments, including acquisitions of additional brands/products as well as preparations for licensing and developing product candidates in the clinical phase.
Significant changes in organization
Moberg Pharma recruits new General Manager for U.S. operations
On December 15, 2014, Jeff Vernimb was appointed as the new CEO of the company's U.S. operations and a member of Moberg Pharma's management group. Jeff Vernimb has over 25 years 'experience in the marketing and selling of non-prescription pharmaceuticals in both multinational companies and small entrepreneurially managed companies.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
Approval in China
In January 2015, Moberg Pharma's partner, Menarini Asia-Pacific, was granted approval for Moberg's nail product in China. Launch preparations in a number of markets in the region are progressing faster than planned and Menarini has initiated launch activities in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Preparations are under way in other markets in the region.
Moberg Pharma and the Menarini Group are expanding their collaboration to Russia and Ukraine
In February 2015, Berlin-Chemie AG, part of the Menarini Group, was granted exclusive rights to market and sell Emtrix® in Russia and Ukraine. The product rights for Emtrix® in Russia were released from a previous distribution agreement under which the product was not launched.
Approved patent in the U.S.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has approved the U.S. patent with number 8,952,070, concerning MOB-015 for the topical treatment of nail fungus. The patent will expire in 2032.
New Kerasal® product launched in the U.S.
In February, deliveries commenced to Walgreens of Kerasal® Complete Care, a new foot care product in a duo-pack with two effective treatments, which restore a healthy appearance to nails affected by nail fungus and treat foot fungus. The product is aimed at the large group of patients who have both nail fungus and foot fungus.

On May 27, 2014, the Board of Directors resolved, based on authorization from the 2014 Annual General Meeting, to by-pass the shareholders´ preferential rights and issue 2,068,965 new shares to a limited group of Swedish and international institutional qualified investors at a price of SEK 29 per share through a private placement procedure. The private placement generated approximately MSEK 60 before transaction costs, and the proceeds from the private placement will strengthen Moberg Pharma's balance sheet and enable value-creating investments, including acquisitions of additional brands/products as well as preparations for licensing and developing product candidates in the clinical phase.
As a result of the new share issue, the number of shares in Moberg Pharma increased 2,068,965 shares from 11,893,572 shares to 13,962,537 shares in total and the share capital increased by SEK 206,896.50 from SEK 1,189,357.20 to SEK 1,396,253.70 in total. The new share issue entailed dilution of approximately 15%.
At the end of the period, share capital totaled SEK 1,396,253.70 (1,189,357.20), and the total number of shares outstanding was 13,962,537 (11,893,572) ordinary shares with a nominal value of SEK 0.10.
Stock options
On May 13, 2014, the Annual General Meeting of Moberg Pharma AB resolved to implement a private placement of 236,351 warrants (equivalent to 236,351 shares) to the company's wholly owned subsidiary Moberg Derma Incentives AB and to introduce the employee stock option scheme 2014:1. In the employee stock option scheme 2014:1, 196,500 stock options were allotted and 39,851 warrants reserved to cover future social security expenses for the employee stock options. The terms and conditions of the employee stock option scheme 2014:1 comply with the terms and conditions of the employee stock option scheme 2013:1, with the following exceptions: employee stock options in the 2014:1 scheme vest on June 30, 2017, the exercise price is SEK 37.64 per option and the last day for subscription is December 31, 2018. For a description of the terms and conditions of the employee stock option scheme 2013:1, refer to the 2013 Annual Report on page 60.
At December 31, 2014, there were a total of 891,130 warrants outstanding. If all warrants were exercised for shares, the number of shares would increase by 1,136,985, from 13,962,537 shares to 15,099,522.

ORGANIZATION
At December 31, 2014, the Moberg Pharma Group had 29 employees, of whom 69% were women. Of these, 20 were employed in the Parent Company, of whom 65% were women.
PARENT COMPANY
Moberg Pharma AB (Publ), Corp. Reg. No. 556697-7426, is the Parent Company of the Group. Group operations are conducted primarily in the Parent Company (in addition to the sales organization in the U.S.) and comprise research and development, sales, marketing and administrative functions. Parent Company revenue totaled MSEK 93.8 for 2014, compared with MSEK 82.3 during the previous year.

Cash and cash equivalents were MSEK 56.1 (22.2) at the end of the period.
RISK FACTORS
Commercialization and development of drugs are capital-intensive activities exposed to significant risks. Risk factors considered to be of particular relevance for Moberg Pharma's future development are linked to competitors and pricing, production, partners´ and distributors´ performance, the results of clinical trials, regulatory actions, 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 2013 Annual Report on page 35.
Over the 12 months ahead, the most significant risk factors for the company are deemed to be associated with market development, the development of established partnerships, integration of acquisitions and the results of clinical trials.
OUTLOOK
Moberg Pharma aims to create shareholder value through a focus on profitable growth, targeting a long-term EBITDA margin of at least 25% from 2016 and onwards. The company's growth strategy includes organic growth of strategic brands, acquisitions/in-licensing of new products and commercialization of pipeline assets and line extensions.
In 2015, the focus will be on sales growth and improved earnings. Significant components are identifying further business opportunities, partnering discussions for development programs and supporting the company's distributors and retailers.
