"We are incredibly proud to bring a new efficacious treatment option with a favorable safety profile to people living with onychomycosis in Europe, an important part of our vision of making MOB-015 the leading nail fungus treatment worldwide," says Anna Ljung, CEO of Moberg Pharma.
• EBITDA SEK -10.7 million (-9.1)
The approval in the European Union represents the first marketing authorizations for our new onychomycosis treatment worldwide. National approvals are now underway in each country along with OTC approvals when applicable. The national approvals are expected to follow during upcoming months and timelines may vary between countries. We have already now received national approval for Ireland.
In connection with the approval, it was found that only one of our two suppliers of the active substance terbinafine was approved, and this supplier will stop its production of terbinafine later this year. Short term we therefore have a limited supply of terbinafine and the rollout will be a two-step process. The launch is planned to start in our home market Scandinavia. Step 2 will be a pan-European rollout, following the results of the ongoing Phase 3 North American study. The launch in two stages means that significant expected revenues are postponed and the Board of Directors has therefore resolved on a rights issue of approximately SEK 100 million.
We will begin the Scandinavian launch as soon as possible after the national approval and expect to initiate launch preparations in Sweden before the end of the year. The exact choice of countries will depend on time to national approval which may vary.
This early Scandinavian launch enables us to gain valuable insights into consumer behavior, collect patient feedback and provide user data to support direct to OTC/OTC switches in more countries. The launch in Scandinavia will take place in collaboration with our partner Allderma, managed by the commercial leaders who were responsible for the successful Nordic launch of Nalox®, Moberg Pharma's first-generation nail fungus product.
Step 2 of the launch will be a pan-European rollout together with our partner Bayer, a world leader in OTC fungus treatments with the Canesten® brand. Bayer is already closely involved in the project and will co-invest in development work such as packaging improvements ahead of the pan-European launch.
One priority going forward will be to ensure long-term supply of terbinafine. We expect to be able to include the second API supplier post approval. We are also looking for an additional API source and have identified several possible suppliers to commence discussions to secure long-term supply of terbinafine.
Approval in the EU is an extremely important milestone for Moberg Pharma, and it is a fantastic accomplishment for our team. I would like to express my sincere gratitude, especially to our fantastic employees and partners, who have worked diligently to get this done, but also to you shareholders for your support along this journey. We have now laid the foundation to realize our vision – to make MOB-015 the leading nail fungus treatment worldwide.
Anna Ljung, CEO of Moberg Pharma

Moberg Pharma's goal is to make MOB-015 the world's leading treatment for nail fungus and to build a specialty pharmaceutical company with its own sales in the U.S. and sales through partners in other markets. With MOB-015 as an anchor, the company intends to expand the product portfolio with additional products in adjacent areas either developed inhouse or acquired.
MOB-015 is a next-generation treatment for onychomycosis (nail fungus) and the high antifungal effect shown in clinical Phase 3 studies with more than 800 patients indicates that the product has the potential to become the future market leader in nail fungus. Moberg Pharma has signed license agreements with partners in Europe, Canada, Israel and the Republic of Korea for MOB-015, and the product is recommended for approval in 13 European countries. The annual sales potential for MOB-015 is estimated at USD 250–500 million.
| MOB-015 |
|---|
| Nail fungus affects 10%, more common among older people · Topical terbinafine for treatment of nail fungus · Target profile: Rapid, visible improvement, superior cure rate and shorter treatment time |
| World-leading anti-fungal effect · 76% mycological cure in Phase 3 · 1000x higher concentration of terbinafine in the nail compared to oral terbinafine · 40x higher concentration of terbinafine in the nail bed compared to oral terbinafine · Negligible systemic levels of terbinafine |
| Estimated annual sales potential · USD 250-500 million · Partners in Europe, Canada, Israel and the Republic of Korea · Two-step launch plan, beginning in Scandinavia followed by pan-European launch |
| First market approval in EU received, launch preparations are ongoing · European marketing authorization application submitted in March 2022. In June 2023, MOB-015 was recommended for approval in 13 EU countries · Phase 3 studies completed in North America, n=365, and Europe, n=452. Primary endpoints reached without serious side effects · New Phase 3 study for North America initiated 2022, plan to include 350 patients |
| Patent protection until 2032 and additional ongoing patent applications · Patents granted in major markets, including the U.S., the EU, Canada, Japan and China · Patents include new topical formulations of allylamines (including terbinafine) and treatment methods for nail fungus using the new formulations |
Despite that one out of every ten people suffers from nail fungus, there currently aren't any good treatment alternatives available. The most effective treatment is oral terbinafine, which is associated with the risk of liver damage and interaction with other drugs. Dermatologists around the world agree on the great need for better topical treatments without the risk of systemic side effects. In a survey in the U.S., 72% of responding physicians avoid prescribing oral terbinafine due to their

patients' concern about side effects, and 62% would prefer a product with MOB-015's intended target profile to current topical treatments. Only 6-15% of responding physicians would continue to prescribe current topical treatments.1
In December 2019, the results were presented from the first of two clinical studies in the Phase 3 program for MOB-015, followed by the results of the European study in June 2020. Both studies met the primary endpoint. Mycological cure (eradicating the fungal infection) was achieved in 76 percent of the patients (70 percent of the patients in the North American study and 84 percent of the patients in the European study), which is substantially higher than reported for other topical treatments (30-54 percent). Furthermore, the onset of the antifungal effect is more rapid than for oral terbinafine, with MOB-015 delivering 55–78 percent mycological cure at 6 months (vs 40 percent for oral terbinafine) and 37–46 percent already at 3 months (vs 15 percent for oral terbinafine).
MOB-015 is the first topical treatment with a mycological cure rate at the same level as oral terbinafine, the current gold standard for treatment of onychomycosis. Before the completed clinical Phase 3 studies with MOB-015, it appeared unrealistic that a topical treatment would achieve a mycological cure rate of 70 percent. Furthermore, the concentration of terbinafine has been shown to be 1000X higher in the nail, 40x higher in the nail bed and 1000X lower in plasma compared to oral terbinafine – ideal characteristics for an effective tropical treatment without systemic exposure.
In March 2022, Moberg Pharma submitted the registration application for MOB-015 in Europe through the decentralized process. In June 2023, the Decentralized Procedure ended with a positive outcome and MOB-015 recommended for national approval in 13 European countries for the treatment of mild to moderate fungal infections of the nails in adults. The following EU countries are included: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden. Next steps include national implementation in each country and OTC approvals when applicable. The national approvals are expected to follow during upcoming months and timelines may vary between countries.
Our commercialization rollout will be a two-step process, planned to start in our home market Scandinavia. We will initiate launch as quickly as possible following national approval, expecting to initiate launch preparations in Sweden before the end of the year. The exact choice of countries will depend on time to national approval - which may vary. This early Scandinavian launch enables us to gain valuable insights into consumer behavior, collect patient feedback and provide user data to support direct to OTC/OTC switches in more countries. The launch in Scandinavia will take place in collaboration with our partner Allderma, managed by the commercial leaders who were responsible for the successful Nordic launch of Nalox®, Moberg Pharma's first-generation nail fungus product. Step 2 of the launch will be a pan-European rollout together with our partner Bayer, following the results of the ongoing North American study, which we believe has the potential to strengthen the product claims further, including a shorter dosing regimen. The timing is also driven by our need to secure sufficient API for a pan-European launch.
Out of the two API manufacturers initially included in our registration file, only one is approved at this timepoint, and the one approved will stop its production of terbinafine later this year. Short term we therefore have a limited supply of terbinafine and are building as much API stock as possible. We expect to be able to include the second API supplier post approval. We are also looking for an additional API source and have identified several possible suppliers to commence discussions to secure long-term supply of terbinafine.

For market approval in the U.S., the FDA normally requires two studies that demonstrate superiority (statistically superior to the comparator) for the primary endpoint. An additional North American study is ongoing to enable registration in the U.S. market. Moberg Pharma submitted documentation on the new study to the FDA in March 2022, the first patient was enrolled in May 2022 and we expect to complete patient enrollment during the year. The randomized, vehicle-controlled, multicenter Phase 3 study will include a total of 350 patients in North America. The patients will be evaluated over 52 weeks and the primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects achieving complete cure of their target nail. The study design builds on the experience gained from the previous Phase 3 studies and Moberg Pharma is cooperating with the same CRO, same lead investigator and high-performance clinics from the previous North American study. The purpose of the new study is to facilitate market approval in the U.S. as well as strengthen the product's clinical evidence and marketing claims globally.
In total, five agreements are in place with commercial partners for MOB-015: with Cipher Pharmaceuticals for Canada; DongKoo, the market leader in dermatology in the Republic of Korea; Allderma in Scandinavia; Padagis in Israel; and the Consumer Health division of Bayer AG, a world leader in OTC fungus treatments with the brand Canesten, for Europe.
The agreements give these partners exclusive rights to market and sell MOB-015 in each respective market, while Moberg Pharma assumes production and supply responsibility. Within the framework of the agreements Moberg Pharma can receive milestone payments of up to a total USD 70 million upon successful development and commercialization, in addition to royalties and compensation for delivered products.
Previously, Moberg Pharma has successfully commercialized products in the U.S. and therefore has retained the rights to MOB-015 for the U.S. market. The aim is to repeat the journey taken with Kerasal Nail®, where Moberg Pharma combined direct sales in the U.S. with strategic collaborations in other major territories. The most important markets for MOB-015 are expected to be the U.S., EU, Japan, Canada and China, all with patent protection until 2032. In addition to granted patents, the company also has ongoing patent applications which, if approved, could provide significantly longer patent protection.
Moberg Pharma commercialized its first-generation nail fungus product – Kerasal Nail® – and built an OTC business with annual revenue of SEK 440 million, a 30% market share in the U.S. and more than 30,000 sales locations, including the major chains CVS, Walgreens and Walmart. In 2019, the OTC business was successfully divested for SEK 1.4 billion. The company's aim is now to repeat this journey with MOB-015, a product with much greater potential.
The Annual General Meeting on May 16 elected Håkan Wallin to the Board of Directors. Håkan has many years of both operative and financial experience from advisory positions as well as from board and management positions in both listed and non-listed life science companies. Previous positions include responsible partner on the corporate finance side for the life science sector at ABG Sundal Collier, EVP Corporate Development at Medivir and Chairman of the Board of Palette Life Sciences (previously PharmanestAB). Håkan is today CFO at NP3 Fastigheter AB.
On June 28, the Board of Directors resolved to carry out a new issue of ordinary shares and warrants with preferential rights for existing shareholders of approximately SEK 100 million before transaction costs. The Rights Issue is conditional upon approval at an extraordinary general meeting on August 8. The net proceeds will mainly be used for clinical and regulatory activities for MOB-015 and preparations ahead of launch.
Moberg Pharma's operations consist of research and development, business development and administrative functions. The majority of the development expenditure incurred is directly attributable to the development project MOB-015 and is capitalized. The largest expense items in the quarter therefore consist of business development and administration expenses of SEK 4.4 million (4.9), followed by research and development expenses of SEK 0.7 million (0.5). The company's pre-launch costs are reported as selling expenses of SEK 0.8 million (0.2). Operating profit for the second quarter was SEK -5.3 million (-4.9) and total profit was SEK -3.9 million (-3.3).
Operating profit for the six-month period was SEK -12.0 million (-10.4), where the largest expense item during the six-month period was business development and administration expenses of SEK 9.8 million (9.8).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK -4.0 million (-4.2). Cash flow from investments was SEK -22.8 million (-18.7) and relates to capitalized expenditure for the ongoing North American Phase 3 study. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -1.6 million (109.0). The total change in cash and cash equivalents in the quarter was SEK -32.6 million (86.6). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 52.0 million (160.0) at the end of the period.

Moberg Pharma AB (publ), corp. reg. no. 556697-7426, is the parent company of the Group. The operations of the Group are primarily conducted in the parent company and consist of research and development, business development and administrative functions. For the period January to June 2023, the parent company's operating profit was SEK -12.0 million (-10.4), while profit after financial items was SEK -11.0 million (-10.4). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 52.0 million (160.0) at the end of the period.
Per June 30, 2023, Moberg Pharma had 9 employees, of whom 89% were women. All were employees of the parent company.
Commercialization and development of pharmaceuticals are capital-intensive activities exposed to significant risks. Risk factors considered to be of particular significance for Moberg Pharma's future development are linked to the results of clinical trials, regulatory actions, 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 2022 Annual Report on page 21.
Moberg Pharma's goal is to create value and provide attractive shareholder returns through the successful commercialization of its pipeline assets.
In June of this year, the Decentralized Procedure ended with a positive outcome and MOB-015 recommended for national approval in 13 European countries for the treatment of mild to moderate fungal infections of the nails in adults. National approvals are now underway in each country as well as OTC approvals when applicable. The national approvals are expected to follow during upcoming months and timelines may vary between countries. We will initiate launch as quickly as possible following national approval, expecting to initiate launch preparations in Sweden before the end of the year.
Moberg Pharma is also conducting a North American Phase 3 study, where patient enrollment is expected to be completed in 2023. The study has the potential to further strengthen the product claims, including a shorter dosing regimen.
One priority going forward will be to ensure long-term supply of terbinafine. We expect to be able to include the second API supplier post approval. We are also looking for an additional API source and have identified several possible suppliers to commence discussions to secure long-term supply of terbinafine.

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 substitute for the performance measurements defined in accordance with IFRS.
