CEO COMMENTARY

Moberg Pharma is continuing to grow at a rapid pace. Product sales in the second quarter of the year rose 107 percent compared with the year-earlier period. In the U.S., sales performed better than expected and, for the first time, our proprietary sales accounted for the majority of revenue. Kerasal® Nail™ is now the bestselling product in its segment in the U.S with a market share of 19% increasing from 10% in the same period last year1 . The trend in Europe to date this year has been weaker than expected. We are achieving major successes in such key markets as France, Italy and the Netherlands, although overall growth in Europe is affected by intensifying competition. Increased share of proprietary sales improved our gross margin2 from 69% to 78% during the first six months.

Increased distribution of our current products

In the U.S., additional retailers, including national mass retailer Target, and regional retailers such as Meijer and Hannaford, have added our products to their shelves. Kerasal® Nail™ is now available at approximately 30 000 retail outlets in the U.S. With increased distribution and strong demand for Kerasal® Nail™, we have increased our marketing investments, which normally peak during the second quarter. We also continue to expand our network of distributors in other parts of the world. In recent months, we signed new distribution agreements for two important and emerging markets – China and Mexico – with our existing partners Menarini Asia-Pacific and Paladin Labs, respectively. The Chinese market for non-prescription products is growing rapidly and presents significant growth opportunities, but naturally also substantial challenges. Preparations for market approval in China have been initiated.

Pipeline progress

The ongoing clinical study of MOB-015, our drug candidate for the treatment of nail fungus, is continuing according to plan. Patient enrollment for the study was completed during the quarter. To strengthen our pipeline, we are continuously evaluating acquisition and in-licensing opportunities, focusing on OTC brands for the U.S. markets, but also on development projects and technologies.

Strengthened financing and resources for growth

In early July we strengthened our financial position through a private placement to Bure Equity, which enhances our freedom of scope for continued growth. Our organic sales growth will make us profitable, although individual quarters may result in losses, due to timing of marketing investments and large orders from customers and distributors. We are making significant growth investments – in our brands with marketing investments, mainly in Kerasal® Nail™ – but also in the planned expansion of the product portfolio with acquisitions and proprietary development projects. We retain our expectation of achieving profitability on a full-year basis and an EBITDA margin of 25 percent within two to four years.

Strong demand for our products, a larger geographical reach driven by new and expanded distribution agreements, and a strengthened financial position provide excellent conditions for continuing to build a different kind of pharmaceutical company. We are now ready to fuel our growth by adding brands, products and projects to our portfolio through acquisitions and in-licensing.

Nalox™ / Kerasal Nail™

Used to treat nail discoloration and damage caused by nail fungus or psoriasis. The product was launched in the Nordic region in autumn 2010 and quickly became market leader. The international launch is under way via a proprietary sales organization in the U.S. and ten partners that hold rights for 50 markets, including the major EU markets, Turkey and Russia. Nalox™ is patented and based on proven substances. Nalox™ is a prescription-free, over-the-counter product sold under the names Naloc™ and Emtrix® in certain markets and Kerasal® Nail in the U.S.3 Efficacy and safety have been documented in several clinical trials encompassing more than 600 patients. Nalox™ has a unique and rapid mechanism of action, demonstrating highly competitive results, which brings visible improvements 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 heals, calluses, foot pain and to soften and moisturize dry feet. Kerasal® contains salicylic acid, 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® for the treatment of extremely dry and damaged skin on the feet. The product is available for purchase in pharmacies and various retailers across the U.S. The product line also includes professional products for resale only by specialists.

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

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. Recently, 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.

Development projects

MOB-015

MOB-015 is a new topical treatment for onychomoycosis with fungicidal, keratolytic and emollient properties. Moberg Pharma's patent-pending formulation technology enables the delivery of high concentrations of a fungicidal substance (terbinafin) in and through nail tissue. Because MOB-015 is applied locally, the side effects that can be observed 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 of an improved formulation of MOB-015 was initiated to confirm the product concept and provide a basis for a Phase III study and out-licensing. In May 2013, patient enrollment in the study was completed. The study is conducted with leading expertise at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. Patients are treated for twelve months and followed for a total of fifteen months with respect to the endpoints that the FDA and EMA normally accept for nail fungus. The results of the study are expected in 2014.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS

Moberg Derma became Moberg Pharma

In May, the company announced that the Swedish Companies Registration Office had accepted its application to change its corporate identity to Moberg Pharma AB (publ), in accordance with the resolution by the Annual General Meeting held on April 23, 2013. The reason for the change of name is that the operations had been broadened after the acquisition of Alterna LLC (which has been renamed Moberg Pharma North America LLC) and now also includes areas other than dermatology. However, dermatology and topical drug delivery technologies remain core areas of the company's operations.

Development of Limtop discontinued

It was announced in March that the company had decided to discontinue the development of Limtop – a pharmaceutical candidate for the treatment of actinic keratosis. Development was discontinued when the effect of the completed Phase II trial did not achieve the final target. Based on the data from the concluded study, the assessment was made that the project's commercial potential had declined and, accordingly, continued investments could no longer be justified.

Moberg Pharma and Paladin extended agreement for Kerasal Nail™ to Mexico

In May 2013, Paladin Labs Inc received exclusive rights to market and sell Kerasal Nail™ in Mexico. Moberg Pharma is responsible for the manufacturing and delivery of the product.

Patient enrollment completed in clinical study of MOB-015

Patient recruitment in the ongoing Phase II clinical trial of MOB-015 was completed during the quarter. MOB-015 is a topical formulation of terbinafine for the treatment of nail fungus (onychomycosis). The purpose of this study is to confirm the product concept of MOB-015 and provide a basis for a Phase III study and outlicensing.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

Financing of portfolio expansion secured through private placement

Successful launches of Nalox™/Kerasal Nail™ in Europe and the U.S. and growing sales have resulted in a strengthened position for Moberg Pharma. The company is now approaching the next step in its growth strategy – to expand its product portfolio for marketing primarily through its own OTC sales channels in North America. It was against this background that the Board decided in July, pursuant to the authorization received at the 2013 Annual General Meeting, to issue 1,081,000 new shares with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights to the Swedish institutional investor Bure Equity AB (publ). A prospectus was published on June 16th and can be found on Moberg Pharma's Swedish webpage. The private placement generated approximately MSEK 36 before issue costs, and is aimed at facilitating acquisitions and licensing of marketed products, as well as strengthening pipeline assets.

Following the new share issue, the company's share capital increased by SEK 108,100, resulting in a dilution of approximately 9.1 percent of the capital and votes in the company. After the share issue, Bure is the third largest shareholder in Moberg Pharma.

Distribution agreement for Kerasal® Nail™ with Menarini expanded to China

In June, the company announced that Menarini Asia-Pacific, part of the Menarini Group – one of the 40 largest global pharmaceutical companies – had been granted exclusive rights to market and sell Kerasal Nail™ in China. The companies now intend to apply for product approval in the Chinese market.

The expanded distribution agreement is based on an existing partnership between the two groups of companies, which resulted in the successful launch of the product in Italy. Menarini is a leading regional biopharmaceutical 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 health area. The Chinese pharmaceutical market is expected to continue to report strong growth, and is predicted to be the second largest pharmaceutical market in five years. Moberg Pharma believes that Menarini Asia-Pacific's in-depth insight into local market conditions makes it an ideal partner to manage the challenges existing in the Chinese market.

Earnings

Second quarter (April-June 2013)

An operating loss of MSEK 6.6 (profit: 1.4) was reported for the second quarter of 2013. The cost of goods sold was MSEK 8.0 (6.4), leading to a gross margin on product sales 82 percent (70). Other operating expenses during the quarter amounted to MSEK 44.4 (17.4), with the majority comprised of selling expenses of MSEK 27.3 (5.5). The year-on-year cost increase was due to the company now having proprietary sales in the U.S. and increased marketing efforts following expanded distribution and a successful launch of Kerasal Nail, compared to the second quarter last year when the company only had sales via distributors. Selling expenses include costs for amortization of product rights totaling MSEK 1.5 (0).

Six-month period (January-June 2013)

An operating loss of MSEK 10.3 (profit: 9.3) was reported for the first six months of 2013. The cost of goods sold was MSEK 21.0 (12.0). Operating expenses, excluding the cost of goods sold, amounted to MSEK 73.7, compared with MSEK 35.1 in the year-earlier period. An accounting consequence of the acquisition is that the U.S. company was appreciated in the amount of MSEK 4.6 to fair value, which reduced earnings in a corresponding amount. Consolidated earnings were charged with MSEK 3.1 during the first quarter of 2013, while MSEK 1.5 was charged to earnings in the fourth quarter 2012.

The largest item in operating expenses comprised selling expenses, which amounted to MSEK 41.4 (11.4) for the period, a cost increase that in 2012 was attributable to the Company having proprietary sales in the U.S. and increased marketing efforts following expanded distribution and a successful launch of Kerasal Nail, compared to last year when the company only had sales via distributors. Selling expenses include costs for amortization of product rights totaling MSEK 2.9 (0).

The loss after financial items amounted to MSEK 11.8, compared with a profit of MSEK 10.3 for the January to June 2012 period. The decline in earnings was due to profit for the first six months of 2012 including milestone payments of MSEK 17.0, whereas no milestone payments were included in earnings for the first six months of 2013. An accounting appreciation pertaining to inventories in the acquired Moberg Pharma North America also had an adverse impact of MSEK 3.1 on Moberg Pharma's earnings during the period. Product sales revenues rose more than operating expenses, where product sales revenues increased 116 percent, while operating expenses (including cost of goods sold) increased 103 percent. The loss for the period after tax was MSEK 7.0 (profit: 39.4) and the total comprehensive loss was MSEK 1.9 (profit: 39.4).

FINANCIAL POSITION

Cash flow

Second quarter (April-June 2013)

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to a loss of MSEK 0.6 (profit: 15.5) for the second quarter.

Six-month period (January-June 2013)

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to a loss of MSEK 1.0 (profit: 5.8) for the January to June 2013 period. Cash and cash equivalents were MSEK 32.5 (79.5) at the end of the period.

Capital expenditure

Investments in subsidiaries relate to an additional consideration for the acquisition of Moberg Pharma North America, which was effected during the first quarter of 2013 and amounted to MSEK 16.7 (0). Investments in tangible fixed assets were MSEK 0.2 (0.3) during the January - June 2013 period. Moberg Pharma also has research and development costs that are expensed directly in the statement of comprehensive income.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

Moberg Pharma has no contingent liabilities. All pledged assets remain unchanged from those reported in the 2012 annual report and there have been no significant changes during the period in relation to equity in the subsidiary Moberg Pharma North America LLC.

CHANGES IN EQUITY

Shares

At the end of the period, share capital amounted to SEK 1,081,257.20 SEK (907,902), and the total number of outstanding shares was 10,812,572 (9,079,020) ordinary shares with a nominal value of SEK 0.10.

At the end of the period, in July 2013, the Board of Directors resolved, based on authorization from the 2013 Annual General Meeting, to by-pass the shareholders' preferential rights and issue 1,081,000 new shares to the Swedish institutional investor Bure Equity AB (publ). The private placement generated about MSEK 36 before issue expenses and is aimed at facilitating acquisitions and licensing marketed products, as well as assets that strengthen the Company's pipeline.

Stock options

On April 23, 2013, the Annual General Meeting of Moberg Derma AB resolved to implement a private placement of 77,096 warrants (equivalent to 77,096 shares) to the company's wholly owned subsidiary Moberg Derma Incentives AB and to introduce the employee stock option scheme 2013:1. In the employee stock option scheme 2013:1, 60,750 stock options were allotted and 16,345 warrants reserved to cover future

social security expenses for the employee stock options. The terms and conditions of the employee stock option scheme 2013:1 comply with the terms and conditions of the employee stock option scheme 2012:1, with the following exceptions: employee stock options in the 2013:1 scheme vest on June 30, 2016, the exercise price is SEK 36.77 per option and the last day for subscription is December 31, 2017. For a description of the terms and conditions of the employee stock option scheme 2012:1, refer to the 2012 annual report on page 56.

At June 30, 2013, there were a total of 654,779 warrants outstanding. If all warrants were exercised for shares, the number of shares would increase by 900,634, from 10,812,572 shares to 11,713,206 shares.

ORGANIZATION

At June 30, 2013, the Moberg Pharma Group had 30 employees, of whom 67 percent were women. 21 were employed in the Parent Company, of whom 63 percent 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, marketing and administrative functions. Parent Company revenue amounted to MSEK 39.1 for the January to June 2013 period, compared with MSEK 55.5 for the same period in 2012. Operating expenses, excluding cost of goods sold, amounted to MSEK 37.2 (35.1) and loss after financial items was MSEK 7.9 (profit: 10.3). Cash and cash equivalents were MSEK 24.1 (79.4) at the end of the period.

RISK FACTORS

The development of new drugs up to registration approval and launch is a risky and capital-intensive process. Risk factors considered to be of particular relevance for Moberg Pharma'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 2012 Annual Report on page 33.

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 Pharma aims to create value and generate a solid return for shareholders through the profitable growth of the novel topical pharmaceuticals that are delivered to the global market. 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 is crucial to Moberg Pharma's future success. The company's financial objective is to attain an operating margin (EBITDA in relation to sales) of 25 percent within two to four years, while displaying continued strong growth.

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 the partnerships entered into will have a major impact on Moberg Pharma's income and cash flow. The company's assessment is that sales growth combined with profitability for the full year will continue.

ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION POLICIES

This interim 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 2012, 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 IASs and IFRSs 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 2012 Annual Report. A number of new or revised standards, interpretations and improvements have been adopted by the EU and are to be applied from January 1, 2013. These changes have not had any substantial 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 tally. 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 Pharma's 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

The acquisition of Moberg Pharma North America includes additional purchase considerations that are triggered if revenue for the acquired company reaches a certain amount. If the established targets are achieved, an additional consideration of a maximum of MUSD 2.5 per period, a total of a maximum of MUSD 5, is to be paid to the sellers of Moberg Pharma North America. The targets for the first additional consideration were achieved and MUSD 2.5 was paid in the first quarter of 2013.

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

FUTURE REPORTING DATES

Interim report for January – September 2013 November 5, 2013
