STATEMENT FROM THE CEO
I am very pleased with the second quarter resulting in strong growth, higher profitability and pipeline progress. Net revenue for the three key brands in the U.S. grew at record pace, 29-43% in local currency, fundamentally outpacing the market and strengthening our leading position in all key categories, while doubling EBITDA to SEK 20.4 million, excluding capital gains. Meanwhile, the screening for the North American phase 3-study for MOB-015 is now completed and enrollment in Europe is expected to be finalized before the year-end.
Excellent growth in the U.S. key driver
The divestment of Balmex in April represented another milestone in our two-plus year effort to streamline the North American OTC portfolio. Six separate transactions have resulted in a synergistic portfolio of high margin niche brands with leading positions in the Foot Care and First Aid categories. The portfolio delivered double-digit gains in retail sales and net revenue, as well as higher gross margins and brand contribution following our effort to focus the portfolio, strengthen marketing and improve the return on invested dollars.
Since the brand re-launch in 2016, Kerasal Nail® has delivered outstanding sales performance over ten consecutive quarters. Consumption growth over the prior two seasons of +37%1 is indicative of the brand's strength in the US where Kerasal Nail® continues to strengthen its #1 position in its category. In the U.S., net revenue grew by 43% in local currency. For the distributor sales, which now represent less than 5% of total revenues, the aim is to stabilize sales versus last year.
Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair was re-launched in May supported by a high impact television campaign leading to strong double-digit gains (+20.6% L4W1 ) in retail sales and excellent net revenue growth (+42% in local currency) of Other Products. Kerasal Nail Psoriasis launched in late May exclusively on Amazon, representing our first new product introduction through ecommerce only.
Both Dermoplast® and New Skin® expanded their market leading positions, delivering strong net revenue growth of 31% and 29% respectively, following successful campaigns and enhanced digital marketing including social media. Retail sales for Dermoplast® are growing at double-digit levels reflecting a positive response to the launch of the growth plan for the brand.
Pipeline progress
The Phase 3 studies for MOB-015 are progressing according to the plan from November 2017. The screening for the North American study was recently completed, and we expect the last patient to be randomized around the turn of the month of August. Recruitment in Europe is gaining momentum under the management of our CRO TFS and is expected to be finalized before the year-end. As the Phase 3 development is progressing, we continue to refine our long-term plans for which we see excellent potential in documenting differentiating claims versus key competitors, primarily focusing on three benefits i.e. better cure rates, fast visible improvement and shorter treatment time.
The recent U.S. patent approval for BUPI enables dialogues with new partners in North America and Europe, in addition to Cadila Pharmaceuticals.
Continued momentum
We continue to realize the exciting growth prospects for our commercial portfolio and pipeline, creating significant short-term and long-term value.

1 Symphony IRI, MULO, 4, 12 and 52 weeks through June 17, 2018. Note that approximately 60% of sales of Dermoplast® are through hospitals, which means that that retail sales data does not provide as complete a picture as for other brands.
ABOUT MOBERG PHARMA
Moberg Pharma develops and markets consumer healthcare products to treat, relieve or improve the appearance of damaged skin and nails. The product portfolio comprises well established brands, each of which is a leader in its niche category. The Group's long-term goal is an EBITDA margin of 25 percent with healthy growth. Our strategy to achieve this is through profitable growth from strategic brands, valuecreating acquisitions and commercialization of development projects.
STRONG BRAND PORTFOLIO
Since the start in 2006, Moberg Pharma's commitment to commercial and innovative excellence has resulted in rapid growth and profitability. We attribute our success to a unique approach built on collaboration, full team commitment, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. The business is managed through high-performing cross-functional teams with 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.
The U.S. is by far our largest market, with three key non-prescription brands dominating sales: Kerasal Nail® with clinically proven efficacy for the improved appearance of nails affected by nail fungus, New Skin® - a waterproof liquid bandage also used to prevent blisters, and Dermoplast® - an anesthetic pain relieving antibacterial spray. Sales are made through our own marketing organization, which in addition to the US includes the UK, where only Kerasal Nail® is sold, under the brand name Emtrix®.
Kerasal Nail® is also sold through distributors in larger EU markets, in Canada, Japan and Southeast Asia. Through a global network of ten partners with contractual rights to Kerasal Nail® under various local brand names, the product is currently sold in some 30 countries.
PIPELINE WITH TWO PRODUCTS IN PHASE 3
Moberg Pharma has developed a clinical pipeline with revenue potential 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 attractive OTC markets across the globe. Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is 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 ARE ONGOING
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 US 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 at USD 250–500 million annually. Phase 3 studies are underway with screening in North America completed in July 2018 and expected to be finalized in Europe before year-end 2018. Topline results are expected approximately 15 months after completion of recruitment for each study. Upon positive Phase 3 results and based on the excellent Phase 2 data with high mycological cure rates and high terbinafine levels in the nail and nail bed, the company sees excellent potential in documenting differentiating claims versus key competitors, primarily focusing on three benefits i.e. better cure rates, fast visible improvement and shorter treatment time.
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. Based on an analysis by LifeSci Capital2 , Moberg Pharma estimates the annual sales potential for BUPI to USD 100 - 200 million, assuming successful commercialization in oral mucositis and at least one further indication.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN 2018
In the first six months of 2018, the U.S. portfolio sustained high growth in retail sales and continued to outpace the OTC market. The MOB-015 studies are progressing according to schedule, while the recent U.S. patent for BUPI enables intensified discussions with potential partners.
IN THE MARKET
Revenues increased from 136 to SEK 142 million in the second quarter, despite divestments of the Balmex and Fiber Choice brands during the past year and currency headwinds. The divestment of Balmex was finalized in April, generating a total of USD 4.25 million in cash plus inventory value. Having refocused the North American OTC portfolio through six individual transactions, Moberg Pharma now has leadership positions across several synergistic, higher margin and less competitive niche categories. As a result, net sales in our U.S. commercial business grew by 32% in the second quarter. The main drivers were strong marketing campaigns and new distribution achieved in 2017 across several key retailers as well as expanded digital and social media, driving improvements in gross margin and brand contribution. EBITDA increased from 9.8 to SEK 25.4 million in the second quarter with a gross margin of 78%.
Strong high season
Kerasal Nail® continues to outperform key competitors across the Nail Fungal Segment, with retail gains of 27.6%3 compared to previous year and +37%3 over the prior two seasons. The most recent campaign "Toes for Fingers" sustains the positive trend, now over ten consecutive quarters since the brand re-launched in 2016. Distributor sales were low in Q2, partly reflecting delivery timings, and represented less than 5% of total Q2 revenues. Our plan remains to stabilize full year distributor sales versus last year.
Our latest brand innovation, Kerasal Nail Psoriasis, launched in late May exclusively on Amazon, which provides an exciting opportunity to gain valuable insights. The product targets a niche segment of users who to date, have not had access to a clinically proven non-prescription option to improve the appearance of nails damaged by psoriasis.
Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair was re-launched in May supported by a television campaign reaching tens-of-thousands of new consumers who suffer from dry, cracked feet. After just a few weeks on air, Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair is already seeing high double-digit gains (+20.6% L4W3 ) in retail sales and exceeding expectations for the year. Given the strong product performance, we expect the new campaign to generate excellent brand repeat and sustained gains in sales.
New Skin® also expanded its leading position in the Liquid Bandage category. Since integrating the brand and re-launching in 2017 behind the highly impactful "Mr. Cut" campaign, advertising has delivered double-digit consumption gains for the brand and the Liquid Bandage category. Television support resumed in the second quarter and immediately drove brand growth with retail sales +23.4%3 for the latest 12-week period. Breakthrough television has been supplemented with expanded digital marketing investment including social media.
Dermoplast® continues to deliver strong performance and is tracking well ahead of year ago results (+14.3% retail sales for the latest 12-week period). The brand remains the #1 Pain Relieving Spray in the U.S. The second quarter saw the launch of new consumer and healthcare professional marketing communications which included impactful awareness building campaigns targeting mothers, hospital and retail pharmacists, OB/GYN nurses and nurse-midwives.
IN THE PIPELINE – PROGRESSING ACCORDING TO PLAN
The company's greatest potential is in MOB-015
The two Phase 3 studies for MOB-015 continue in parallel in North America and Europe and progress according to the plan communicated in November 2017. The transition to a new CRO was finalized in the second quarter with several new sites up and running in Europe. The screening for the North American study was recently completed, and we expect the last patient to be randomized around the turn of the Month of August. The European patient recruitment is expected to be finalized before year-end. Topline results are expected approximately 15 months after completion of recruitment for each study.
Meanwhile, we are refining our commercialization plans based on extended market analyses and payor interactions and continue to refine our long-term plans for which we see excellent potential in documenting differentiating claims versus key competitors, primarily focusing on three benefits i.e. better cure rates, fast visible improvement and shorter treatment time.
3 Symphony IRI, MULO through June 17, 2018
BUPI – ongoing preparations for Phase 3
The recent U.S. patent approval for BUPI, complementing previous patents in Europe and Canada, enables a full-fledged partnering process, while the dialogue with Cadila Pharmaceuticals continues.

GROUP REVENUE AND EARNINGS
REVENUE
Second quarter (April-June 2018)
Net revenue amounted to SEK 141.9 million (136.1)4 , an increase of 4% compared with the previous year, despite divestments. Adjusted for divestments, net revenue reported increased by 24%, with all major brands reporting strong double-digit growth. In local currency, the increase was 27%.
Sales in the US continue to be strong, supported by breakthrough advertising campaigns which started in March 2018. Media buys have been spread strategically to maximize on-air time and penetration within a given budget, yielding excellent results. During the first days of July 2018, our warehouse was closed due to a move to a larger facility. As a result, some orders delivered in late June would otherwise likely have been fulfilled in July. We estimate the positive impact on sales for June 2018 to be approximately SEK 5-10 million.
In local currency, Kerasal Nail® increased by 20%, of which direct sales rose by 43%. Sales to distributors however were weaker, primarily due to delivery timing. Sales growth for Dermoplast® was 31% and for New Skin®, 29% in local currency. Other products include Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair, which reported an impressive 42% growth from 2017. We anticipate Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair to continue on this trajectory for the balance of the year.
Six-month period (January-June 2018)
The Group's total revenue comes predominantly from sales in the US and is dominated by the three largest brands – Kerasal Nail®, Dermoplast® and New Skin® – together accounting for 90% of our current revenue stream (excluding divested products). All three key brands show continued strong growth for the year.
In local currency, Kerasal Nail® increased by 19%, of which direct sales rose by 37%. Sales to distributors for the total period were less than expected, where some orders due to be delivered in June were pushed to July. Sales growth in local currency for Dermoplast® was 23% and for New Skin®, 24%.
Excluding divested products, revenue increased by 21% in local currency (16% in group currency (SEK)). This is in comparison to total revenue reported, where in local currency, revenue increased by 2% compared to 2017 (-3% in group currency). Given Balmex® was divested on April 27, 2018 and Fiber Choice® divested on August 21, 2017, comparative numbers for 2017 include sales for both Balmex and Fiber Choice for the entire period, whereas 2018 numbers only include Balmex for a portion of the period.
Most of the Group's invoicing is in foreign currency (predominantly US dollars and to a lesser extent euro), so we are dependent on the development of these currencies in relation to the Swedish krona. This has an effect on how amounts are translated into group currency for any given period. During this period, we have had a negative currency effect of 5% on reported net sales.
4 The comparative figures also include FiberChoice®, which was divested on August 28, 2017.

PROFIT
Second quarter (April-June 2018)
Operating profit increased to SEK 16.3 million (0.0), a result of continued effective marketing activities and strong retail consumption development. The Group has executed successfully against its stated strategy to develop a streamlined portfolio of brands that generate attractive profitability. Reported gross margin was strong at 78% (73).
Operating expenses, excluding the cost of goods sold during the quarter, amounted to SEK 102.3 million (98.9). The bulk of operating expenses comprise selling expenses, which excluding depreciation and amortization7 , were SEK 78,4 million (75,3). Selling expenses excluding depreciation and amortization are high in peak season, with amounts reported at 55% (55) of net revenue. Our seasonality results in higher marketing expenses in the second and third quarters, where the second quarter has the highest proportion of spend.
Administrative expenses and research and development costs for the commercial operations were in line with previous years given the Group's total size.
Depreciation and amortization amounts mainly consist of amortization of product rights of SEK 8.4 million (9.1). Total depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to SEK 9.1 million (9.8).
Other operating revenue includes a gain on the sale of Balmex (SEK 5.0 million) plus positive net changes in exchange rates on operating receivables and liabilities.

Comprehensive income was SEK 21.7 million (-20.4) and included currency translation of SEK 17.0 million (-12.6) due to the stronger US dollar exchange rate at June 30, 2018 compared with the end of the first quarter.
EBITDA was SEK 25,4 million (9,8), giving an EBITDA margin of 18% (7). Adjusted for R&D and business development costs for future products, the EBITDA margin for the commercial operations increased to 22% (11).
Six-month period (January-June 2018)
Operating profit increased to SEK 28.8 million (6.9). Excluding the gain on the sale of Balmex, reported operating profit was SEK 23.8 million (6.9), a strong increase from the previous year. Gross margin strengthened to 76% (71), a reflection of a streamlined portfolio. Operating expenses, excluding the cost of goods sold, decreased to SEK 158,3 million (163,1).

LIABILITIES
Interest-bearing liabilities consist of a bond loan 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 accordance with IAS 39, the bond loan is recognized less transaction costs amortized over the term of the loan, giving a difference between SEK 600 million and the amount of SEK 593.1 million shown in the statement of financial position. The full terms and conditions of the bond are available on the company's website www.mobergpharma.se
Current non-interest-bearing liabilities include a contingent consideration to Prestige Brands in connection with the acquisition of New Skin®, Fiber Choice®, and PediaCare®. Contingent consideration of up to USD 1.0 million (corresponding to SEK 9 million) may be payable, for which the company has recognized a liability of USD 0.5 million (corresponding to SEK 4.5 million). The contingent consideration limits Moberg Pharma's risk exposure related to regulatory provisions for Fiber Choice®.
PLEDGED ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Moberg Pharma has no contingent liabilities. Pledged assets consist of restricted bank funds totaling SEK 0.7 million.
CHANGES IN EQUITY
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The number of instruments outstanding as at June 30, 2018 was 1,031,334 warrants and 263,000 performance share units. If all warrants were exercised, the total number of shares would increase by 1,032,168. The performance share units are issued and held in trust, where the actual amount of shares that may vest range from 0% to 100%. If all warrants were exercised and all shares granted, the total number of shares would increase from 17,703,762 shares to 18,735,930 shares. Since the redemption price for the warrant programs vary from SEK 32.75 to SEK 65.70, and performance share units are tied to share performance from SEK 35.00, actual dilution would likely be significantly lower based on the current level of share price. For detailed information on the warrant programs, see the 2017 Annual Report. Detailed information on the performance share units may be found within the Notice to the Annual General Meeting for 2018, which were subsequently resolved to approve as noted in the minutes of the Annual General Meeting.
The following table gives an indication of the potential effects at different levels of share price:

ORGANIZATION

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 US) and comprise research and development, sales and marketing, and administrative functions. For the period January to June 2018, the Parent Company's net revenue totaled SEK 66.5 million (57.4). Operating expenses, excluding the cost of goods sold, amounted to SEK 45.2 million (43.7). Operating profit was SEK 24.1 million (2.8), while profit after financial items was SEK 4.7 million (-16.7). Cash and cash equivalents reported at the end of the period amounted to SEK 100.9 million (28.7).
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 2017 Annual Report on page 28.
Over the next 12 months, the most significant risk factors are deemed to be associated with market developments, the development of established partnerships, and the results of clinical trials.
OUTLOOK
Moberg Pharma aims to add value and generate a solid return for shareholders through profitable growth, with a long-term EBITDA margin of at least 25%. The company's growth strategy includes organic sales growth, acquisitions/in-licensing of new products, and commercialization of development projects.
During 2018, we focus on driving organic growth primarily from our three largest brands, stabilizing sales outside the US, and advancing the company's Phase 3 development programs to enable future growth. Moberg Pharma utilizes 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 and establish relations with potential commercialization partners in multiple territories.

Definitions of key ratios
Moberg Pharma presents certain financial performance measurements in the interim report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. In Moberg Pharma's opinion, these performance measurements provide valuable additional information to investors and company management as they enable an evaluation of the company's performance. These financial performance measurements are not always comparable with those used by other companies since not all companies calculate them in the same manner. Accordingly, these financial measurements are not to be regarded as a replacement for the performance measurements defined in accordance with IFRS.

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES
The interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated financial statements were, like the annual accounts for 2017, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The parent company financial statements were prepared in accordance with Swedish Annual Accounts Act and Recommendation RFR 2 of the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, Financial Statements for Legal Entities.
The Group applies the same accounting policies and valuation methods as described in the 2017 Annual Report. New or revised standards that were adopted effective January 1, 2018, such as IFRS 15 on revenue recognition and IFRS 9 for financial instruments, have not had a material effect on the Group and implementation of the new standards does not require restatement of previous periods since the effects are insignificant. The Group has applied the transition to IFRS 15 prospectively.
IFRS 16 Leasing will enter into force on January 1, 2019. The company does not expect the new standard to have a material effect on Moberg Pharma.
Amounts are presented in Swedish kronor and rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. Rounding to the nearest thousand may mean that certain amounts do not match when added up. MSEK stands for million Swedish kronor. Amounts and figures in parentheses are comparative figures from the previous year.
