CEO COMMENTARY
After a strong second quarter, we are well on track to deliver on our goal of improving profitability in 2014. Organic growth and contributions from the recent acquisition of U.S. brands resulted in second-quarter sales growth of 28% as well as improved profitability. All brands contributed to the overall growth. The gross margin for the business remained excellent at 78%. Importantly, the previous decline in our European sales was reversed and growth of 10% was achieved. Our EBITDA margin continued to improve to 12% in the second quarter. The EBITDA margin for our commercial operations (adjusted for R&D and business development costs related to future products) was 19 % for the second quarter and 18% for the past 12 month period.
U.S. continues to drive growth
Kerasal Nail™ remains the key growth driver, with 23% sales growth in the second quarter versus last year and a U.S. market share of 23%1 . The strong growth is a result of the distribution gains achieved over the past 12 months and a positive effect of a new marketing campaign. Kerasal NeuroCream™ has now reached the number two position2 in the foot pain segment with potential to drive further growth. Following deliveries to Walgreens late in the first quarter, NeuroCream™ has nationwide distribution at approximately 20,000 stores. To increase marketing efficiency, new packaging and/or advertising has been developed for several brands, including the recently acquired Domeboro® , Vanquish® and Fergon® brands, and shipments to stores will begin in the next few months. Tech transfer to a new supplier is progressing with the objective to improve gross margins for these brands in 2015.
Growth in distributor sales and progress in Asian launch preparations
Distributor sales reversed the negative trend and grew by 31% in the second quarter. Key growth drivers were strong performance in Canada and the resumption of growth in EU sales. Consumer advertising in Canada for our Emtrix® brand commenced in April and resulted in much higher sales than anticipated. Emtrix® became the leading brand in Canada in April-May, resulting in a market share year-to-date through May of 25%3 . The approval of an expanded indication and stronger claims for Nalox in the EU has been only partly implemented to date, and provides prospects for future growth in the EU. Registration activities in China and South East Asia are progressing well and we have already received an order for the first Asian market. Asia has the potential to account for a substantial part of our business in 2015 and onwards.
Advancing our clinical pipeline
The MOB-015 Phase II trial is progressing according to plan. Following the excellent interim data, we expect to report topline data in September. The April acquisition of the BUPI assets (the bupivacaine lozenge) added a high-potential product to our pipeline for an underserved niche market. We have progressed rapidly and submitted an application for a Phase II trial including up to 40 patients to generate a robust data package for the next steps in development and commercialization.
Delivering on goal to improve profitability
Significantly improving profitability in 2014 has been a key priority. We are delivering successfully on this commitment by increasing sales and through targeted cost reductions. Brand equity and increased marketing efficiency enabled a reduction in selling costs while still maintaining growth. R&D costs were reduced by 40%, mainly due to less clinical development activity compared to last year. G&A costs were also reduced.
Strong financial position to drive further growth
With improved profitability and a balance sheet strengthened by the recent share issue, 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 autumn 2010 and quickly became market leader. The international launch is under way 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 non-prescription product, sold under the names Naloc™ and Emtrix® in certain markets, and Kerasal Nail™ in the U.S4 . 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 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 longterm 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 longterm pain relief. The non-prescription 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.
4 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 topical treatment for nail fungus with fungicidal, keratolytic and emollient properties. The company's patent-pending formulation technology enables the delivery 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 200-300. 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 is being conducted with the help of leading expertise at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, was completed. Patients are 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. If the current study provides the expected results, this will mark a major advance in the treatment of nail fungus. Positive interim results were published in December 2013. After six months of treatment with MOB-015, 40% of the patients were mycologically cured (free from fungus). The results from the study are expected during the second half of 2014.
BUPI - Bupivacaine lozenge
An innovative and patent-pending oral lozenge formulation of the proven compound bupivacaine for treatment of oral pain. The initial indication is pain management for patients suffering from oral mucositis during cancer therapy. Promising clinical data from several pilot studies support safety and efficacy – 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 peak sales potential of the product to MUSD 50-100 assuming successful commercialization in 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 South East Asia: Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, The Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam. These countries comprise a market of more than 550 million people in one of the fastest growing regions, and represent a significant long-term growth opportunity for Moberg Pharma. 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 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. Kerasal Nail™ is now available at more than 30,000 sales outlets in the U.S.
Kerasal Nail™ is the market-leading product in the OTC fungal nail category with a 20% market share in the U.S. (as per the end of 2013). The new formula provides benefits to consumers by improving userfriendliness, 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 a royalty on future sales after gross profit generated from these sales has exceeded Moberg Pharma's accumulated development costs incurred prior to launch.
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 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 valuecreating investments, including acquisitions of additional brands/products as well as preparations for licensing and development of product candidates in clinical phase.

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 development of product candidates in 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 SEK 206,896.50 from SEK 1,189,357.20 to SEK 1,396,253.70 in total. The new share issue entailed a 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.
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.

financial items to MSEK 17.7 (loss: 7.9). Cash and cash equivalents were MSEK 71.2 (24.1) 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 next 12 months, 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 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.

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