"We remain fully focused on our two most important activities: the registration process for the nail fungus treatment MOB‐015 in Europe and patient enrollment in the North American Phase 3 study. Both the registration process and the clinical study are progressing as planned and we are now intensifying the preparations ahead of expected approval this year," says Anna Ljung, CEO of Moberg Pharma.

We remain fully focused on our two most important activities: the registration process for the nail fungus treatment MOB‐015 in Europe and patient enrollment in the North American Phase 3 study. Both the registration process and the clinical study are progressing as planned and we are now intensifying the preparations ahead of expected approval this year.
A dialogue is now underway with the Medical Products Agency in Sweden, which is the reference member state for the registration application in Europe for MOB‐015. Moberg Pharma had previously received the preliminary assessment report from the Medical Products Agency in Sweden and all the comments from other countries in the registration process. Moberg Pharma has submitted a full registration application through the decentralized process, which offers the possibility of data exclusivity in Europe for up to 10 years following market approval. Our goal is to receive the first market approval and initiate launch of MOB‐015 in 2023.
Our work managing regulatory issues and pre‐launch preparations are fully underway. In addition to interactions with our commercial partners, the collaboration with our primary manufacturer in Germany is intensifying and we are also closely dialoguing with component and raw material manufacturers. In connection with the company's preparations for the commercial phase, we strengthened the management team by adding Jesper Lind, Head of Supply, and also welcomed Anders Bröijersén as the new Chief Medical Officer and member of the management team.
The North American Phase 3 study with MOB‐015 is progressing as planned. The randomized, vehicle‐controlled, multicenter study will include a total of 350 patients with nail fungus. The patients are being 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.
In 2022, we took important steps towards the commercial phase, including the submission of the registration application in Europe and the start of the North American study to enable registration in the U.S. market. We have also added another commercial partner through the collaboration with Perrigo for the Israeli market. All in all, we are advancing towards the company's goal to create the future market leader in the treatment of nail fungus, and I look forward with confidence to 2023 with approval expected later in the year.
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 in‐ house 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, Japan, Canada, Israel and the Republic of Korea for MOB‐015. 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, Japan, Canada, Israel and the Republic of Korea |
| Goal to receive the first market approval and launch MOB-015 in 2023 · European marketing authorization application submitted in March 2022 through the decentralized process. Market approval is expected in 2023. · 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 · 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
1 Survey of 89 U.S. physicians (dermatologists and podiatrists), LifeSci Physician Survey, April 4, 2017
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 recently 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 to the Medical Products Agency in Sweden, which has agreed to be reference member state for the application. The company has submitted the registration application in Europe through the decentralized process, and market approval is expected in 2023. Moberg Pharma has submitted a full application, which offers the possibility of data exclusivity in Europe for up to 10 years following market approval. The company's goal is to receive its first market approval and initiate launch MOB‐015 in 2023.
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 now being implemented to enable registration in the U.S. market. Moberg Pharma submitted documentation on the new study to the FDA in March 2022 and the first patient was enrolled in May. 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, six agreements are in place with commercial partners for MOB‐015: with Cipher Pharmaceuticals for Canada; Taisho in Japan; 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 120 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.

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.
In April 2022, the Board of Directors resolved to carry out a fully guaranteed issue of new ordinary shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders of approximately SEK 121 million before transaction costs. The Board's decision on the rights issue was approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting on May 3, 2022, and the net proceeds are being used for registration activities and clinical work for MOB‐015.
Anders Bröijersén took over after the turn of the year as the new Chief Medical Officer at Moberg Pharma and became a member of the company's management team. He comes most recently from a position as CMO at InDex Pharmaceuticals and has extensive experience from previous senior positions at Sobi AB (Swedish Orphan Biovitrum), Boehringer Ingelheim and MSD. He succeeds Cindy Wong, who is retiring after three years' work and valuable contributions to the company. Cindy will remain in the role of senior advisor for Moberg Pharma.
The management team was also expanded to include Jesper Lind, Head of Supply, after the turn of the year. He has 35 years of experience in Life Science, of which 30 years is global experience from the pharmaceutical industry, in Production, Supply, Supply Chain, Procurement, External sourcing, New product introduction and Pharmaceutical development from companies such as Orexo, AstraZeneca, Astra, and Pharmacia.
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 5.1 million (4.6), followed by research and development expenses of SEK 0.2 million (0.7). Other operating income and other operating expenses mainly relate to invoiced expenses and currency adjustments.
Net revenue amounted to SEK 0.2 million (0) in the period. The income relates in its entirety to milestones. Operating profit for the full‐year was SEK ‐20.2 million (‐19.7), where the largest expense item during the year was business development and administrative expenses of SEK 20.1 million (18.4). The comparative figures in the consolidated income statement show the impact on earnings of the divested BUPI project as a separate item in the consolidated financials. For the parent company, on the other hand, amounts reported in the income statement have not been separated for continuing operations. A profit and loss account for discontinued operations is presented in Note 2.
Cash flow from operating activities was SEK ‐3.3 million (‐0.4). Cash flow from investments was SEK ‐13.6 million (‐6.6) and relates to capitalized expenditure for the North American Phase 3 study. Cash flow from financing activities relates to payments of leasing assets. The total change in cash and cash equivalents in the quarter was SEK ‐16.9 million (‐8.8). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 125.6 million (102.7) at the end of the period.

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK ‐16.8 (‐15.3) million. Cash flow from investing activities was SEK ‐68.1 million (‐41.3). Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 107.8 million (130.0) and mainly relates to the rights issue in May and to a lesser degree leasing payments. The total change in cash and cash equivalents in the year was SEK 22.9 million (73.4).
Investments in intangible assets relate to capitalized expenses for development work on MOB‐015 of SEK 26.6 million (6.6) in the quarter and SEK 81.1 million (31.3) during the year. The increase in investments is due to the North American Phase 3 study initiated in the spring.

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 October to December 2022, the parent company's operating profit was SEK ‐4.6 million (‐4.9), while profit after financial items was SEK ‐3.8 million (‐4.9). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 125.6 million (102.7) at the end of the period.
Per December 31, 2022, Moberg Pharma had 7 employees, of whom 100% 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 2021 Annual Report on page 21.
While the war in Ukraine has not had a material economic impact on the financial reports, there is the possibility that it could in the future. We are carefully monitoring the market, where we see rising inflation, higher commodity, component and freight costs, and greater uncertainty about interest rates.
Moberg Pharma's goal is to create value and provide attractive shareholder returns through the successful commercialization of its pipeline assets.
In the near term, the focus is on registration preparations for MOB‐015 in Europe, where a registration application was submitted to the Medical Products Agency in Sweden in March 2022. The company's goal is to receive its first market approval and launch MOB‐015 in 2023. Moberg Pharma is also conducting a new North American Phase 3 study, where patient enrollment is underway. In parallel with the registration preparations, commercialization preparations are underway to maximize value and create future growth.

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.

The operations attributable to the BUPI project are reported as discontinued operations. The Extraordinary General Meeting on December 1, 2020 decided, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to distribute Moberg Pharma's interest in the BUPI project through shares in the subsidiary OncoZenge to Moberg Pharma's shareholders. The dividend was paid in accordance with Lex ASEA on February 5, 2021. In accordance with the distribution decision on December 1, 2020, a liability was recognized at a fair value of SEK 45 million. On the balance sheet date, December 31, 2020, the transferred intangible assets were recognized at book value, SEK 22 million. When the assets were distributed in February 2021, the asset amount was adjusted to fair value and recognized as a revaluation of discontinued operations.
