CEO COMMENTARY
We made excellent progress in the third quarter, growing at 35% with improved profitability and reporting strong phase II data for MOB-015 in nail fungus. All geographies contributed to the growth and the gross margin remained strong at 72%. The EBITDA margin for our commercial operations (adjusted for R&D and business development costs related to future products) increased to 23% for the quarter / 22% for the past 9 month period and we achieved a non-adjusted EBITDA of 14%. The board approved a refined strategy including an increased focus on strategic growth areas and brands - and in particular a long-term objective to become the number 1 player in nail fungus in select geographic regions.
Strong U.S. growth
Our North American sales grew by 40% in the third quarter. Kerasal Nail® remained a key growth driver with a market share of 23%1 in the U.S. and retail sales growing by 31%1 compared to same period the previous year. We met with all major customers over the past quarter to discuss growth opportunities and line extensions for the Kerasal® brand. As a part of our strategy to rejuvenate mature brands, new consumer driven marketing and packaging designs for the Domeboro®, Vanquish®, and Fergon® brands have been implemented. The new packaging should be on shelf at most retailers by the end of the year. Transfer of manufacturing for these three brands is progressing according to plan and is expected to improve their gross margins in 2015. Increased efficiency of new marketing campaigns contributed positively to profitability.
Growth in distributor sales and progress in Asian launch preparations
Distributor sales grew by 20% in the third quarter. Key growth drivers were orders from Asia and strong performance in Canada - where we now are the market leading OTC product with more than 50% market share2 . European sales grew by 7% with opportunity for further growth driven by the expanded indication and stronger claims recently approved in the EU. We remain very excited about the growth potential in China and Southeast Asia for 2015 and onwards, and the registration activities in the region are progressing according to plan.
Our clinical pipeline delivered exciting results
The recent Phase II data for MOB-015 exceeded our expectations and provided evidence that the product is effective. The study proved that the product delivered high levels of terbinafine into and through the nail to the nail bed. The mycological cure rates and the clinical improvement of the nails were remarkable, especially taking into account the severity of the treated nails. Based on the data and the high prices for new topical onychomycosis products in the U.S., the probability of reaching the market has increased and we have also increased our peak sales estimate for the product to MUSD 250-500. Discussions with potential industrial and financial partners have been initiated. The BUPI project is also progressing according to plan, phase II results are expected during the first half of 2015.
Delivering on goal to improve profitability
We continue to improve profitability by increasing sales and through targeted cost reductions. Increased marketing efficiency - through improved segmentation and targeting - enabled a reduction in selling costs from 53% of sales in the third quarter last year to 45% this year, while maintaining growth. G&A and other costs were also reduced.
Strengthening the platform for further growth
I am very pleased with the development during the past quarter. To strengthen our position for next year, we are developing new line extensions and marketing programs for our strategic brands, upgrading our financial reporting systems and progressing with the recruitment of a new General Manager for our U.S. operations. We are in a strong position to drive further growth in sales and earnings – organically as well as through accretive acquisitions.

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 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 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 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 heals, calluses and 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 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 with Kerasal® NeuroCream, a nonprescription 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 phytotoxins, insect bites or reaction from washing detergent/cosmetics. The product has a drying and astringent effect (contributes to the contraction of blood cells 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.), acacetylsalicylic acid 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.
3 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 onychomycosis with fungicidal, keratolytic and emollient properties. The company's patent-pending formulation technology enables the transportation of high concentrations of a fungicidal substance (terbinafin) 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 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 discussions with potential partners. In May 2013, patient enrollment for the study, which was conducted with the help of leading expertise at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, was completed. 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 nail fungus. Positive results from this study were presented in mid-September 2014. The primary treatment objective, mycologically cured, was achieved in 13 of the 24 patients (54%) who participated in the study. The secondary treatment objective, mycologically cured 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. MOB-015 was generally well tolerated. This study included patients with more severe onychomycosis than recently published studies of topical treatment alternatives.
BUPI – Bupivacaine lozenge
An innovative and patent-pending lozenge formulation of the proven compound bupivacaine for treatment of oral pain. The initial indication is for pain management for patients suffering from oral mucositis during cancer therapy. Promising clinical data supporting safety and efficacy has been shown 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 plans to gain additional efficacy data through a Phase II study. Moberg Pharma has identified several additional potential indications for the product, such as Sjögren's Syndrome, Burning Mouth Syndrome, endoscopic procedures, oral intubations and long-term OTC use. 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 – had been granted exclusive rights to market and sell Kerasal Nail® in eight countries in South East Asia. 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 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 Southeast 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.
Product and project development
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
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 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.
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 confirm the product concept underlying MOB-015 and provide a basis for a Phase III study and discussions with potential partners.
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 clinical phase.
Significant changes in personnel
Moberg Pharma progressing with recruitment of new General Manager for U.S. operations
In August 2014, the company announced that the Head of its U.S. subsidiary, Steve Cagle, will leave the company. Steve Cagle will remain in his position until the end of January 2015 at the latest in order to ensure continuity. The process to recruit a new head of Moberg's U.S. subsidiary is progressing.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
First patient included in 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.
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 cash 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 significant savings in sales and administrative expenses.

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 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 amounted to SEK 1,396,253.70 (1,081,257.20), and the total number of shares outstanding was 13,962,537 (10,812,572) ordinary shares with a nominal value of SEK 0.10.

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 amounted to MSEK 77.7 for the period January to September 2014, compared with MSEK 68.6 in 2013.

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 value and generate a solid return for shareholders through profitable expansion from organic sales growth, acquisitions/in-licensing of new products and the commercialization of development projects. The company's financial objectives are to achieve continued healthy growth and an operating margin (EBITDA margin) of at least 25% within three years.
In 2014, the focus will be on sales growth and improved earnings. Significant components are integrating acquisitions, identifying further business opportunities and supporting the company's distributors and retailers.

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 annual accounts for 2013, 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 2013 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, 2014. These changes have not had any significant 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 millions of 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 commercialization and development of medical products – the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position as a whole represent one operating segment.
RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The acquisition of Moberg Pharma North America included additional purchase considerations totaling a maximum of MUSD 5 to the seller of the company, which are triggered if revenue for the acquired company reaches a certain amount. The targets for all of the additional considerations have been achieved and MUSD 2.5 was paid in the first quarter of 2013 and MUSD 2.5 was paid during the third quarter of 2014.
No other significant changes have occurred in relations and transactions with related parties.

As on December 31, 2013, the fair value of financial instruments approximates to their carrying amount.

REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors of Moberg Pharma AB, corporate identity number 556697-7426
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Moberg Pharma AB as at September 30, 2014 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
