"The launch to pharmacies was initiated in February. A majority of Swedish pharmacies now have MOB-015 available on the shelf under the brand name Terclara® and interest is exceeding the chains' forecasts. The pharmacy chains are increasing their orders after consumer marketing began around the end of March due to the fact that the product occasionally has sold out at several of the pharmacy chains. However, there is a well-stocked wholesale warehouse," says Anna Ljung, CEO of Moberg Pharma.

The launch to pharmacies was initiated in February. A majority of ~1,400 Swedish pharmacies now have MOB-015 available on the shelf under the brand name Terclara® and interest is exceeding the chains' forecasts. The pharmacy chains are increasing their orders after consumer marketing began around the end of March due to the fact that the product occasionally has sold out at several of the pharmacy chains. However, there is a well-stocked wholesale warehouse.
We have now received national approvals in all 13 countries in the decentralized procedure. The three countries added since last report - Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands – all decided to approve the product for over-the-counter (OTC) sales right from the start. It is important for us to obtain approval as an OTC pharmaceutical in as many markets as possible, since the largest sales volumes in Europe are expected to come from markets where the product has OTC status. It is therefore gratifying that 7 of the 13 countries have granted OTC approval.
In the North American study, half of the patients have now completed their treatment. After patient enrollment was finalized in October 2023, cash flow has improved through lower expenditure as we are now nearing the end of the study. The North American study is a double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled, multicenter Phase 3 study being conducted at 33 study centers in the U.S. and Canada. The study will be unblinded after the fungal sample from the last patient's last visit has been analyzed, with topline results expected in January 2025. Ahead of this data, we are intensifying our business development activities and have entered into a collaboration with Back Bay Life Science Advisors, which has conducted in-depth interviews with U.S. payer representatives and is organizing our process to find the best partner for targeting U.S. dermatologists. The indepth interviews indicate a strong willingness on the part of insurance companies to pay per completed treatment cycle, which in combination with the medical need makes the U.S. a very attractive market for a new nail fungus medication. To capture the full potential in the U.S. and capitalize on the knowledge we gained from our first-generation product Kerasal Nail®, we want to build our own footprint in the U.S. market vis-à-vis podiatrists, while also collaborating with a company with an established sales force targeting dermatologists. Our intent is to enter into such a collaboration after the topline data has been made public.
During the quarter, we together with our partner Allderma worked to ensure that the preconditions for a successful launch are in place and Terclara® started to appear on shelves at Swedish pharmacies in February of this year. In parallel with the pharmacies filling up the shelves, work was ongoing in February and March to inform physicians and pharmacists about the unique benefits of Terclara®. The focus has now shifted to end consumers, with TV marketing started on April 1 as planned. This means that MOB-015 is available to Swedish patients ahead of high season for those who want to begin the journey towards attractive, fungus-free nails before sandal season and the summer holiday.
Sales in the quarter mainly reflect the initial pharmacy orders. It is not until consumer marketing begins that demand from patients will affect the sales figures. Sweden is initially the priority market for Moberg Pharma as we have limited access to terbinafine (the active substance in Terclara®) in the near term. We continue to deliver on our plan to secure a long-term supply of terbinafine ahead of the planned pan-European rollout. In April, we submitted an application to add a terbinafine manufacturer for MOB-015 with approval expected before the end of the year. In addition, we are actively working to secure another terbinafine supplier and thus have two parallel tracks to ensure a stable supply of terbinafine.
Preparations ahead of the pan-European rollout and commercialization in the U.S. are the company's biggest value drivers. During the quarter, we continued to deliver according to plan for all key activities: the North American study, long-term terbinafine access and the rollout of Terclara® in Sweden. The Swedish launch is an important springboard 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 approved in thirteen European countries. The global annual sales potential for MOB-015 is estimated at USD 250–500 million.

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 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 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 completed, 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).
The commercialization rollout will be a two-step process and has now begun. As of February 2024, MOB-015 is available in pharmacies under the brand name Terclara® and a majority of Swedish pharmacies now have the product available on the shelf. This early launch in Sweden enables us 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 first-generation 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 we believe has the potential to strengthen product claims further, including a shorter dosing regimen. The timing is also driven by our need to secure sufficient API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) for a pan-European launch.
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.

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 our 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.
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 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 February, the Nomination Committee presented its proposal for the Board of Directors for the coming year. The Nomination Committee proposes re-election of Nikolaj Sörensen, Kerstin Valinder Strinnholm and Håkan Wallin as members of the board and the election of Jonas Ekblom as a new director. After two years on the board, Anders Lundmark chose not to be available for re-election. He will continue to support Moberg Pharma in his role as one of the company's major shareholders.
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.
During the quarter, Moberg Pharma's partner Allderma launched MOB-015 under the brand name Terclara® in Sweden, making it the first quarter with sales revenue for MOB-015. Sales in the quarter mainly reflect initial pharmacy orders. It is not until consumer marketing begins that demand from patients will impact the sales numbers. Net revenue för quarter was SEK 0.8 million (0.0). The largest expense items in the quarter consist of business development and administration expenses of SEK 6.9 million (5.4) and selling expenses of SEK 1.1 million (0.4), followed by research and development expenses of SEK 0.9 million (0.8). Moberg Pharma has initiated strategic marketing investments to optimize marketing messaging, ensuring MOB-015 is best positioned for its global launch, where marketing expenses will increase in coming quarters. The majority of development expenses is directly attributable to the ongoing Phase 3 study in the U.S. and is capitalized. Profit for the quarter was SEK -6.5 million (-5.0).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was SEK -7.0 million (-5.6) and after changes in working capital was SEK -3.8 million (-5.6). Cash flow from investments improved during the period to SEK -17.8 million (-34.5) and relates to capitalized expenditure for the ongoing North American Phase 3 study. Cash flow from financing activities was SEK -0.3 million (-0.9). The total change in cash and cash equivalents in the quarter was SEK -21.9 million (-41.0). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 38.6 million (84.5) at the end of the period.
Investments in intangible assets relate to capitalized expenses for development work on MOB-015, mainly the ongoing North American Phase 3 study. After patient enrollment was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, expenditure for enrollment activities and the CRO decreased to SEK 17.8 million (34.5) in the quarter.

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 March 2024, operating profit was SEK -7.9 million (-6.7), while profit after financial items was SEK -7.5 million (-6.1). Profit after tax was SEK -6.5 million (-5.0). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 38.6 million (84.5) at the end of the period.
Per March 31, 2024, Moberg Pharma had 9 employees, of whom 78% 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 2023 Annual Report on page 32.
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 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 completed, 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.

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 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. As the development of MOB-015 is not yet complete, amortization of development expenses has not yet commenced.
