• No significant events

STATEMENT FROM THE CEO

We can look back at a successful launch in Sweden, where Terclara® has quickly become established as the market leader and is now available at all Swedish pharmacy chains. Terclara® became the market leader already in April, the first month with consumer marketing, and has since maintained its market-leading position in terms of both value and number of units sold.

For the quarter as a whole, we reached a market share of 39% in value and 34% in units in pharmacy sales to consumers. 1 Furthermore, the product is now available at a majority of Swedish pharmacies and through all pharmacy chains in Sweden. We are also seeing the category as a whole grow with 46%, in line with our assumption that many people previously chose not to treat their nail fungus due to a lack of suitable treatment alternatives.

Manufacturing to Meet Demand

The success in sales has led us to bring forward the next planned production, which was completed in July. This ensures a continued well-stocked inventory for the Swedish market. Our previous analysis remains unchanged; we have secured sufficient terbinafine (the active substance in Terclara®) to meet the Swedish market's demand until a new supplier is in place. In April, we submitted an application to the Medical Products Agency to add a new terbinafine supplier for MOB-015, with approval expected before year-end. Moreover, we have had MOB-015 manufactured using material from another terbinafine supplier, and stability studies from this production are ongoing with the goal of adding this manufacturer as well. Consequently, we have two parallel tracks and are continuing to deliver as planned to ensure a stable long-term supply of terbinafine ahead of the planned pan-European rollout.

National Approval in All 13 Countries

The launch in Sweden and the learnings it has given us are an important part of the preparations ahead of the upcoming pan-European launch. Another significant element is the regulatory work, and during the quarter the series of national approvals was completed, with the last country approving the product in May. MOB-015 has thereby received national approval in all 13 European countries included in the decentralized procedure.

Preparations for Phase 3 Results in the U.S.

The North American study is progressing according to plan and during the summer we completed a "soft lock"2 to minimize the time to topline results. The code will be broken and the study will be unblinded after the fungal culture from the last patient's final visit has been analyzed, and we expect topline results in January 2025. In anticipation of these data, we are intensifying our business development activities and participated in the BIO International Convention in June together with Back Bay Life Science Advisors. This marked the start of our process to find the right partners for prioritized markets, and our intention is to enter into such collaborations after topline data has been released.

Strengthened Cash Position and Shareholder Base

When we designed the oversubscribed units issuance (consisting of shares and warrants TO 2) last summer, the intention was to raise approximately SEK 200 million, half of which through TO 2 warrants. The outcome of TO 2, with a subscription rate was 98%, where the company raised a total of SEK 336 million through TO 2 and a directed issue to top guarantors, is a demonstration of strength that is expected to support growth and shareholder value. TO 2 has also provided an opportunity to further strengthen our shareholder base.

Clear Focus Going Forward

With a successful funding round behind us and good progress in our key activities in the near term – the North American study, long-term terbinafine access and rollout of Terclara® in Sweden – we now look forward to focusing on the most valuedriving activities in the company, preparations for the upcoming pan-European launch and commercialization in the U.S. The aim of the Swedish launch was to achieve a market-leading position, which has already been accomplished. This success reaffirms our strategy and gives us a solid foundation to build on as we prepare to expand into new markets.

ABOUT MOBERG PHARMA AND MOB-015

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 approved in thirteen European countries. The global annual sales potential for MOB-015 is estimated at USD 250–500 million.

SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL NEED – MORE THAN 100 MILLION PATIENTS IN THE EU AND U.S. HAVE NAIL FUNGUS

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.3

3 Survey of 89 U.S. physicians (dermatologists and podiatrists), LifeSci Physician Survey, April 4, 2017

RESULTS FROM TWO PHASE 3 STUDIES SHOW THAT MOB-015 HAS UNIQUE ANTIFUNGAL EFFECT

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% of the patients (70% of the patients in the North American study and 84 % of the patients in the European study), which is substantially higher than reported for other topical treatments (30-54%) 4 . Furthermore, the onset of the antifungal effect is rapid, with MOB-015 delivering 55–78% mycological cure at 6 months and 37–46% already at 3 months.

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%. Furthermore, compared to what has been reported for oral terbinafine, 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 – ideal characteristics for an effective tropical treatment without systemic exposure.

MARKET APPROVAL IN THE EU

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 was recommended for national approval in 13 European countries for the treatment of mild to moderate fungal infections of the nails in adults. All national approvals have now been received with the last country approving the product in May 2024.

The following EU countries are included: Austria (OTC), Belgium (OTC), Czech Republic (Rx), Denmark (Rx), Finland (Rx), France (Rx), Hungary (OTC), Ireland (Rx), Italy (OTC), Netherlands (OTC), Norway (OTC), Spain (Rx) and Sweden (OTC).

TWO-STEP ROLLOUT

The commercialization rollout will be a two-step process. As of February 2024, MOB-015 is available in pharmacies under the brand name Terclara® and all Swedish pharmacy chains now have the product available on the shelf. The aim of the launch in Sweden was to achieve a market-leading position, which has already been accomplished. This early launch in Sweden enables Moberg Pharma to gain valuable insights into consumer behavior, collect patient feedback and provide user data to support a direct Rx to OTC switch in more countries. The launch is taking place in collaboration with the company's partner Allderma, managed by the commercial leaders who were responsible for the successful Nordic launch of Nalox®, Moberg Pharma's firstgeneration nail fungus product. Step 2 of the launch will be a pan-European rollout together with the company's partner Bayer, following the results of the ongoing North American Phase 3 study, which Moberg Pharma believe has the potential to strengthen product claims further, including a shorter dosing regimen. The timing is also driven by the need to secure sufficient API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) for a pan-European launch.

ENROLLMENT COMPLETED FOR NORTH AMERICAN PHASE 3 STUDY

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 the enrollment of 384 patients was completed in October 2023. Topline results are expected in January 2025. The randomized, vehicle-controlled, multicenter Phase 3 study is being conducted at 33 study centers in the U.S. and Canada. 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. 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.

AGREEMENTS WITH STRONG PARTNERS IN PLACE – U.S. RIGHTS RETAINED

In total, five agreements are in place with commercial partners for MOB-015: 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 is responsible for production and supply. 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 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 company sees a very interesting opportunity to build its own commercial platform in the U.S. to target podiatrists with MOB-015 as the main product, which will be complemented going forward by additional niche products. Moberg Pharma also intends to collaborate with a U.S. partner that has an established sales force targeting dermatologists. 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.

PROVEN COMMERCIAL MODEL

Moberg Pharma commercialized its first-generation nail fungus product – Kerasal Nail® – and built an OTC business with an annual revenue of SEK 440 million and sales in more than 30,000 sales locations, including the major U.S. 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.

COMPANY EVENTS

The Annual General Meeting on May 14 elected Jonas Ekblom to the Board of Directors. Jonas Ekblom has worked for three decades in research and development of pharmaceuticals and medtech products. Jonas has held board and management positions in public and privately held life science companies in Sweden, Switzerland and the U.S. He has served as CEO of BOWS Pharmaceuticals SA, Pergamum AB and Promore Pharma AB. Today, Jonas is chairman of the board of CombiGene AB and Oblique Therapeutics AB, and is a board director of Emplicure AB and Ziccum AB.

In May, 832,213 class C shares were issued to fulfill the company's commitments under the long-term incentive program LTI 2024 resolved by the Annual General Meeting on May 14. The shares are intended to secure the commitments under the incentive program and are owned by Moberg Pharma.

On June 24, the company announced that 17,776,856 warrants of series 2023:1 ("TO 2") were exercised for subscription of 17,776,856 ordinary shares for approximately SEK 320 million, corresponding to a subscription rate of approximately 98%. The exercise price for the warrants was set at 70% of the average volume-weighted trading price of the company's ordinary share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from May 20, 2024 to May 31, 2024. Thus, the subscription price was set at SEK 18.00 per share. Subscription and top guarantee commitments had been made, free of charge, with certain external professional investors in TO 2 and the Board of Directors resolved on June 24 on a directed issue of 863,333 ordinary shares for approximately SEK 16 million to the top guarantors to fulfil the top guarantee commitments. Through the exercise of TO 2 and the share issue, Moberg Pharma thus received approximately SEK 336 million before issue costs.

SHARES

The number of shares and votes increased in June 2024 by 18,609,069 to 47,016,521. The change was due to the exercise of warrants of series 2023:1 (TO 2), which increased the number of ordinary shares and votes by 17,776,856, and the long-term incentive program LTI 2024 resolved by the Annual General Meeting on May 14, which increased the number of ordinary shares and votes by 832,213. The directed issue to the investors, which included top guarantee commitments in connection with TO 2, was registered in July and therefore is not included in the share capital at the end of the quarter (the issue comprised a total of 863,333 shares).

Share capital at the end of the quarter was SEK 47,016,521, where the total number of registered shares outstanding was 47,016,521 ordinary shares with a quotient value of SEK 1. Moberg Pharma holds 1,186,522 repurchased ordinary shares at the end of the quarter.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

As at the reporting date, the number of outstanding instruments was 1,688,247 performance share units (which entitle holders to not more than 1,061,127 shares), with a maximum potential dilution of 2.2%. In the second quarter, the performance share rights program 2021:1 became vested for affected employees; 91,665 own shares have been allocated to employees after evaluating performance relative to the company-wide and individual targets set by the Board of Directors.

Performance share units are issued and held in trust, where the actual number of shares that can be transferred varies depending on the individual targets and whether the company meets its business goals over several years. For detailed information on the incentive programs, see the 2023 Annual Report.

PARENT COMPANY

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 2024, operating profit was SEK -14.1 million (-12.0), while profit after financial items was SEK -13.6 million (-11.0). Profit after tax was SEK -11.1 million (-8.9).

OTHER INFORMATION

ORGANIZATION

Per June 30, 2024, Moberg Pharma had 9 employees, of whom 78% were women. All were employees of the parent company.

RISK FACTORS

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 2023 Annual Report on page 32.

OUTLOOK

Moberg Pharma's goal is to create value and provide attractive shareholder returns through the successful commercialization of its pipeline assets.

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. National approvals have now been received in all countries, with the last country approving the product in May 2024. Moberg Pharma has signed license agreements with partners in Europe, Canada, Israel and the Republic of Korea and will continue to work closely with partners with local registration processes and commercialization.

Moberg Pharma is also conducting a North American Phase 3 study, where patient enrollment was completed in October 2023 and topline results are expected in January 2025. The study has the potential to enable drug registration in the U.S. and further strengthen the product claims.

The company has initiated the launch in Sweden and as of February 2024, MOB-015 is available at pharmacies under the brand name Terclara®. Sweden is the priority market for Moberg Pharma as the company has limited access to terbinafine in the near term. Work is underway to secure a long-term supply of terbinafine ahead of the planned pan-European rollout together with the company's partner Bayer.

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 2023, 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.

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. Amounts and figures in parentheses refer to comparable figures for the corresponding period in 2023.

MOB-015 continues to develop with the North American Phase 3 study, whose purpose is to facilitate market approval in the U.S. as well as strengthen the product's clinical evidence and marketing claims globally, and work is also underway to secure a long-term supply of terbinafine to enable the pan-European rollout. The development of MOB-015 is not complete, because of which amortization of development expenses has not begun.
