CEO COMMENTARY

The year got off to an intense start with a focus on our major brands, including recent acquisitions, which are performing well and contributing to both growth and profitability. The expanded launch in Japan offers opportunities in one of the world's biggest markets, and our pipeline is advancing as planned.

During the first quarter, revenue increased by 51% to 104 MSEK and EBITDA was five times higher than previous year, increasing from 3.4 MSEK to 16.7 MSEK. Growth is mainly driven by our acquisitions, New Skin® and Dermoplast®, which together with Kerasal Nail® account for well above 2/3 of revenue and an even higher share of profitability. Kerasal Nail® has continued to develop strongly while maintaining its market share since the previous year's re-launch. At the same time, we are seeing slightly weaker development for our smaller brands, which is a natural consequence of our decision to focus our resources where they produce the biggest dividends. We see good opportunities to continue driving organic growth for our major brands.

We are excited about the expanded launch of Zanmira® Nail (Kerasal Nail®) in Japan, which begins in full force in the second quarter. The national launch together with our local partner, CMIC Group, is a major effort from their side. If it succeeds, Japan could become one of our largest distribution markets. At the same time, our partnership with Menarini around Asia is progressing. Distributor sales decreased slightly in the first quarter due to higher inventory levels in Asia, while sales to distributors in Europe increased.

Our pipeline continues to advance. For BUPI, the next step is the applications to launch the Phase 3 program, while patient recruitment to the Phase 3 studies for MOB-015 is ongoing and expected to be completed during the year. A recent survey of nearly 90 U.S. physicians indicates a significant need for a product like MOB-015. The results strengthen our belief in the potential in our pipeline, where I personally see MOB-015 as the company's biggest asset.

Going forward, we are awaiting the outcome of the Japanese launch, where the majority of the product shipments for the launch are being made and invoiced in the second quarter. We are also looking forward to tracking the performance of our largest brands with the broader distribution for our recent acquisitions and stronger claims for Kerasal Nail® in time for high season in the U.S.

Peter Wolpert, CEO of Moberg Pharma

ABOUT MOBERG PHARMA

Moberg Pharma develops and markets consumer healthcare products that alleviate skin conditions and pain. The product portfolio comprises well established global brands in attractive niche categories, with a focus on topical treatments. The company's long-term goal is an EBITDA margin of 25 percent with healthy growth. The way to achieve this is via profitable growth from strategic brands, value-creating acquisitions and commercialization of development projects.

STRONG BRAND PORTFOLIO TARGETING 40 COUNTRIES

Moberg Pharma's commitment to commercial and innovative excellence has resulted in rapid growth and profitability over the years. We attribute our success to a unique approach, great commitment, a high level of creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. The business is managed through high performing cross functional teams and a high degree of competence throughout the value chain. We continuously seek out acquisition candidates that fit our strategy and can benefit from our marketing, innovation and execution excellence. To optimize our sales potential, we have established our own consumer healthcare marketing and sales operation in the US, developed a global distributor network that spans more than 40 countries around the world and also recently started direct sales in the UK.

Our main commercial product is Kerasal Nail®/NaloxTM; an over-the-counter product with clinically proven efficacy for treatment of nails affected by nail fungus. This product is sold under the names NaloxTM/NalocTM, Emtrix®, Zanmira®, and Kerasal Nail® (USA) 1 and is distributed via a direct sales organization in the USA and the UK as well as 10 cooperation partners with agreed rights in over 60 markets, including the larger EU markets, Canada, China, Japan, and South East Asia.

¹ The brands NaloxTM and NalocTM are owned by Moberg Pharma's cooperation partners and Moberg Pharma has no ownership rights to these brands.

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WITH TWO PRODUCTS IN PHASE 3

Moberg Pharma has developed a clinical pipeline with potential that is a magnitude greater than the sales of our current portfolio. MOB-015 is our next-generation nail fungus treatment targeting the highly attractive prescription market in the US and some other countries, as well as the OTC markets in many countries. Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is very common with a prevalence of approximately 10% of the general population. There is a significant unmet need for improved topical therapy without the safety risks associated with oral treatment. BUPI is intended for pain relief for inflammation and ulceration of the oral mucous membranes (oral mucositis or OM), as a serious complication of cancer treatment. OM affects approximately 400,000 patients annually in the US and may hinder completion of cancer treatment and result in expensive hospital care.

Each of these drug candidates are in Phase 3 and have the potential to become market leaders in their respective niches.

MOB-015 – PHASE 3 STUDIES IN PROGRESS

A new topical treatment for onychomycosis (nail fungus) with antifungal, keratolytic, and emollient properties. The company's patented formulation technology facilitates delivery of high concentrations of a proven antifungal substance (terbinafine) into and through the nail. Since MOB-015 is applied locally, adverse events associated with oral treatments can be avoided. A recent survey of physicians in the USA indicated that there is a strong demand for better topical treatment and that a majority of physicians would prefer MOB-015 over existing treatment options, whether topical medications or tablets, if the phase 3 results meet the target profile. The company estimates the sales potential of MOB-015 to USD 250–500 million annually.

BUPI – BUPIVACAINE LOZENGE – PREPARATIONS FOR PHASE 3 UNDERWAY

An innovative, patented formulation with the proven substance bupivacaine, in the form of a lozenge, for the treatment of pain in the oral cavity. In January 2016, Moberg Pharma reported positive results from a Phase 2 study in which BUPI was evaluated for cancer patients with oral mucositis as the first indication. Moberg Pharma estimates that the product has sales potential of USD 50–100 million annually, assuming successful commercialization in oral mucositis and at least one further indication.

MOBERG PHARMA AB (PUBL) 556697-7426 INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – MARCH 2017

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN 2017

Our three largest brands account for an increasing share of the company's total growth and profitability, and we are looking forward to the nationwide launch in Japan, which could become one of our biggest distributor markets. Our pipeline is advancing as planned.

IN THE MARKET

Direct sales – Strong development for our three largest brands: Kerasal Nail®, New Skin® och Dermoplast®

Our direct sales increased in the first quarter by 88% compared to the previous year. The integration of the acquired brands New Skin® and Dermoplast® is continuing according to plan, and together with Kerasal Nail® they now account for well above 2/3 of revenues and an even higher share of profitability, with good growth potential. Our smaller brands have seen weaker development, while we continue to make progress in the UK according to plan.

In January, we secured additional distribution for New Skin® Spray at Walmart and Walgreens. The first shipments were made in mid-March, and the product is now sold in 3,900 Walmart stores and more than 1,500 Walgreens stores. In April, we also expanded distribution for a second Dermoplast product at 7,500 CVS locations and 3,500 Walmart locations across the U.S, facilitating increased growth going forward.

Kerasal Nail® continues to hold a strong position in the U.S. market, while maintaining a 27% market share compared to the previous year. Through new critical studies we have documented that patients see noticeable improvement after just one week, which strengthens our claims heading into high season in the U.S.

Distributor sales – Opportunities in one of the world's largest markets

After a successful test launch in Japan in 2016, a national roll-out of Zanmira® Nail (Kerasal Nail®) will begin in the country just in time for high season. CMIC Group, Moberg Pharma local partner, is responsible for the launch, which covers several major cities and more than 8,000 pharmacies.

At the same time, launches are underway around Asia in collaboration with Menarini. We already have leading positions in several Southeast Asian markets, while other markets will take longer to evaluate. During the first quarter, sales were somewhat adversely affected by relatively high inventory levels in Asia and Canada, while sales to distributors in Europe increased.

IN THE PIPELINE

MOB-015 – our biggest asset in the pipeline

Recruitment to the two Phase 3 studies for MOB-015 is ongoing and expected to be completed during the year. A recent survey2 of nearly 90 U.S. physicians indicates a growing need for an effective topical therapy for nail fungus. Seven of ten would prefer to prescribe a topical therapy rather than terbinafine tablets, currently the most prescribed medication globally. Six of ten physicians said they would prefer MOB-015 over existing topical medications; only 3%, for example, are completely satisfied with the leading topical competitor. Many physicians would also prescribe MOB-015 in combination with terbinafine tablets. The results of the survey further strengthen our belief in the potential for MOB-015. We have begun discussions with a number of potential commercialization partners for MOB-015, which is an excellent way for us to increase our understanding of the market and build relationships that can lead to future business.

BUPI – Green light for Phase 3 application

The scheduled Scientific Advice meetings with medical products agencies in Sweden and Germany were held in the first quarter, and we have now received the feedback we need to complete the applications for the Phase 3 program for BUPI. We expect the application for a Phase 3 study in India to be submitted in the second quarter by Cadila Pharmaceuticals, Moberg Pharma's partner, which is responsible for financing and implementing the current Phase 3 study. We are awaiting further discussions with authorities and potential other partners before any additional Phase 3 studies are initiated.

GROUP REVENUE AND EARNINGS

REVENUE

In the first quarter of 2017, net sales amounted to SEK 104.6 million (69.5), an increase of 51% compared with the same period in the previous year. Following last year's acquisitions, the three biggest brands Kerasal Nail®, Dermoplast®, and New Skin® account for well above 2/3 of revenue and an even larger proportion of profitability. Sales of Kerasal Nail®/Emtrix®/Nalox™ accounted for SEK 32.7 million (32.1), Dermoplast® accounted for SEK 21.3 million (0), and other products contributed SEK 50.8 million (37.4). Direct sales increased by 88% in the first quarter. However, excluding sales and acquisitions, direct sales declined by 8%3 . As direct sales of Kerasal Nail® in the USA increased by 10% in the period, the decline was attributable to the smaller brands in the portfolio.

Distributor sales, adjusted for divestments, fell by 9%4 . Please note that distributors are placing orders approximately 2-3 times a year for each market, not directly reflecting demand and pharmacy sales for the previous reporting period, resulting in varying company sales from one quarter to another. In Q1, sales were affected by relatively high inventory levels in Asia and Canada, while sales to distributors in Europe increased.

The products New Skin®, PediaCare®, and Fiber Choice® were acquired on July 7, 2016 and are included in the income statement from that date. The product Dermoplast® was acquired on December 30, 2016 and is included in the income statement from January 1, 2017. The comparative figures also include the products divested on April 1, 2016 (JointFlex®, Vanquish®, and Fergon®). PediaCare® (acquired on July 7, 2016 and divested on December 19, 2016) is included in the results for the full financial year 2016.

Since the majority of the company's invoicing is in US dollar and euro, we are dependent on the exchange rate development of these currencies to the Swedish krona. In the first quarter of 2017, revenue in US dollars was recognized at an average exchange rate of SEK 8.92, compared with SEK 8.46 in the first quarter of 2016. The equivalent figures for euros was an average exchange rate of SEK 9.51, compared with SEK 9.32 in the first quarter of 2016. Exchange rates therefore had a positive impact on revenue. Had exchange rates remained unchanged, revenue would have increased by 43% compared with the first quarter of 2016.

Other operating income consists of exchange rate changes relating to operating receivables. Other operating income for the full financial year 2016 also includes research grants and a capital gain of SEK 41.1 million in connection with the sale of the brands JointFlex®, Fergon®, and Vanquish®.

Distribution of net revenue, in percent, January – March 2017

PROFIT

Operating profit for the first quarter of 2017 amounted to SEK 6.9 million (0.5). The cost of goods sold was SEK 31.7 million (20.6), corresponding to a gross margin on product sales of 70% (70). Operating expenses, excluding the cost of goods sold during the quarter, amounted to SEK 66.0 million (48.3), most of which comprised selling expenses of SEK 44.0 million (34.9), excluding depreciation/amortization5 . Selling costs therefore accounted for 42% (50%) of total revenue.

Profit after net financial items amounted to SEK -3.2 million, compared with SEK -7.3 million in the first quarter of 2016. The result was boosted by increased sales (due to the acquisition of Dermoplast®, New Skin®, and Fiber Choice®; however, the positive effect was reduced by the divestment of JointFlex®, Fergon®, and Vanquish®). The depreciation/amortization costs also increased as a result of the acquisitions; depreciation/amortization of product rights amounted to SEK 9.2 million (2.5).

Loss for the period after tax amounted to SEK -3.0 (-5.6) million and comprehensive income amounted to SEK -7.4 million (-10.7). Comprehensive income included currency translation of SEK -4.4 million as a result of the weaker US dollar rate at the end of March, compared with the end of the financial year 2016.

The EBITDA margin for the quarter amounted to 16% (5). Adjusted for R&D/business development expenses for future products, the EBITDA margin for commercial operations was 20% (10).

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -8.9 million (-102.8 Q1 2016, due to investments in corporate bonds in USD) and consisted mainly of capitalized expenditure for research and development activities, see the section "Capital expenditure" below.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 0 million (290 Q1 2016, due to cash received from the bond loan).

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 74.0 million (228.8) at the end of the period.

LIABILITIES

Interest-bearing liabilities consist of a bond of SEK 600 million, which will mature on January 29, 2021. The loan carries a variable interest rate of STIBOR 3m + 6%. The bond loan has no covenants in terms of operating activities except where the company wishes to increase the loan within the framework amount. In accordance with IAS 39, the bond loan is recognized less transaction costs allocated over the term of the loan, which explains the difference between SEK 600 million and the amount of SEK 589.8 million included in the statement of financial position. The full terms and conditions of the bond are available on the company's website www.mobergpharma.se

Non-current non-interest-bearing liabilities comprise a deferred tax liability at the US subsidiary of USD 0.8 million (SEK 7.5 million).

Current non-interest-bearing liabilities include contingent considerations to Prestige Brands related to the acquisition of New Skin®, Fiber Choice®, and PediaCare®. Contingent considerations of up to USD 2.5 million may be payable, for which the company has recognized a liability of USD 2.25 million (SEK 20.1 million). The contingent consideration limits Moberg Pharma's risk exposure with regard to returns and some overhead costs for Fiber Choice® and PediaCare®.

PLEDGED ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Moberg Pharma has no contingent liabilities. Pledged assets consist of blocked bank funds totaling SEK 0.7 million.

CHANGES IN EQUITY

At the end of the period, share capital amounted to SEK 1,741,184.20 (1,421,752.20), and the total number of shares outstanding was 17,411,842 (14,217,522) ordinary shares with a nominal value of SEK 0.10.

WARRANTS

As of Friday, March 31, 2017, there were a total of 851,960 warrants outstanding. If all warrants were exercised for shares, the number of shares would increase by 866,420, from 17,411,842 shares at the end of the period to 18,278,262.

RISK FACTORS

Commercialization and development of pharmaceuticals are capital-intensive activities exposed to significant risks. Risk factors considered of particular significance for Moberg Pharma's future development are linked to competition 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 2016 Annual Report on page 23.

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

OUTLOOK

The company's growth strategy includes organic sales growth, acquisitions/in-licensing of new products, and commercialization of development projects.

During 2017, focus will be placed on integrating acquired brands, supporting the company's distributors and retailers, and advancing the company's Phase 3 development programs to enable future growth. Moberg Pharma will during the year utilize its operating cash flow to invest mainly in the ongoing Phase 3 studies for MOB-015.The company will also further refine the commercialization plans for its pipeline assets, including deepening relations with potential commercialization partners in multiple territories.
