During the quarter, sales were strongly affected by the weaker US-dollar and also by a non-recurring rebate payment of SEK 9 million related to Zubsolv® US sales from previous years. The decline in sales resulted in a negative EBITDA of SEK -10 million. When adjusted for currency impact and the non-recurring rebate payment, Zubsolv sales increased from the first quarter and EBITDA would have been positive for the period. The forecast for achieving a positive EBITDA for the full year remains unchanged. I am pleased to report we slightly improved our cash position, partly by selling SEK 10 million of the corporate bond to finance the unexpected rebate payment.
As Zubsolv is present on a highly competitive market with slow market growth, future value creation is expected to come from products using our next-generation drug delivery technology AmorphOX®. In the development pipeline, I am pleased to report OX124, our high-dose rescue medication for opioid overdose, is now ready for commercial manufacturing and the tests requested by the FDA can be initiated. The next product based on the AmorphOX platform will be OX640, our product for the treatment of anaphylaxis, and I note the interest in partnering with Orexo for the final development and commercialization of OX640 from both global and regional players.
Our main product Zubsolv, for opioid dependence, is manufactured in the US and we operate in a disease space with significant political interest from the new administration. We do not anticipate any major impact on the Zubsolv business from potential tariffs or changes at the FDA. On the contrary, having domestic manufacturing in the US is a strategic advantage. The largest segment for treatment of opioid use disorder in the US is Medicaid and the expected changes to Medicaid can have a negative impact on the overall volumes in the market. However, the Medicaid segment is heavily rebated and if some of the patients move to a commercial health insurance the impact on net sales (after rebates) will be limited. At the time of the report no changes have been announced on tariffs on pharmaceuticals, and we know this is a key focus area for the EU and Canada to maintain at a minimal level if any. Based on that we remain confident that this situation will have minimal impact on our development projects and Zubsolv EU.
The overall market growth for buprenorphine/naloxone products in the US continue with a single digit growth rate of 4 percent. This is a slight increase from recent quarters and is mainly explained by growth in both Medicaid and the Commercial segment. Zubsolv demand is stable from the first quarter, with Medicaid volumes growing and Commercial at the same level. In USD Zubsolv sales grew slightly from the first quarter, when excluding the nonrecurring rebate payment. From last year Zubsolv declined by 6 percent, with the vast majority explained by continued decline in our previously exclusive contracts.
The non-recurring rebate paid in the quarter is associated with non-paid rebates dating back to the time of the pandemic and was discovered during a claim review by the payer and a new external vendor managing our rebate payments in the US. The claim reviews are made regularly and are often minor adjustments, like in the second quarter last year (SEK 1 million positive adjustment), but the payment this time is exceptional and together with our new vendor we are taking measures to improve the quality in our rebate accruals and payments.
The profit contribution from Zubsolv® is an important financial foundation for the company and we work continuously to optimize our expenses while minimizing impact on sales.
The profit contribution from Zubsolv® is an important financial foundation for the company and we work continuously to optimize our expenses while minimizing impact on sales. I am pleased to report that the EBIT contribution margin continues to exceed last year reaching 31 percent and EBIT contribution from our US operations is similar to last year, including the non-recurring rebate payment.
For OX124 we have received the critical components of the nasal device, and we are ready to initiate the necessary commercial testing of the final product. The timeline for resubmission to the FDA is now under our control and will be optimized to balance time to market, requirements for competitive shelf life, and regulatory risks.
During the quarter, the FDA approved Izipry as the brand name for OX124, marking an important step in preparations for the US launch following regulatory approval.
Following the positive results from the second clinical trial in healthy volunteers with OX640 conducted in Q4 last year the product is now entering the final development stage. Based on the results from the second clinical study, we have finalized the formulation and are initiating the upscaling of manufacturing to commercial scale. Experience with OX124 has demonstrated the critical role of commercial scale manufacturing and an established supply chain in generating the data required for regulatory approval. We can now fully leverage investments in the supply chain and learnings from OX124 to manufacture OX640 on a commercial scale for FDA and EMA documentation and for the pivotal clinical trials.
Our ambition is to find a partner for the final development and commercialization, and we are in discussions with both global and regional companies active in the field of allergies. The feedback we receive from these discussions is encouraging. They share our belief that OX640 is well positioned to become the gold standard for nasal treatment of anaphylaxis. Looking at how nasal treatment of opioid overdose transformed this market, replacing the old injectables, growing the market and saving thousands of patients' lives, there are strong reasons to believe the market potential for anaphylaxis treatment is significant and a successful launch of OX640 can be transformative for Orexo.
In the beginning of the quarter, we announced the first important scientific milestone from our collaboration with Abera Bioscience to develop nasal powder vaccines based on the AmorphOX technology. During the quarter Abera Bioscience reported strong stability data from the formulation with AmorphOX. This is encouraging, as powder-based vaccines have the potential to reach many more patients due to their stability at room temperature, eliminating the need for refrigeration. Together we Abera we are planning for the next steps in the development of a vaccine.
With our most recent project OX390, to develop a rescue medication to treat patients overdosing with a certain combination of illicit drugs, we have submitted a concrete proposal for discussion with US authorities. The outcome of these discussions will guide the further development of OX390.
Our financial results for the quarter are heavily impacted by the dramatic exchange rate fluctuations and the nonrecurring rebate payment. However, we remain confident we will reach our objective of a positive EBITDA in 2025. In local
currency, our revenues for Zubsolv increased compared to the previous quarter, but were affected by the non-recurring rebate payment related to previous year's sales. Keeping a stable financial contribution from Zubsolv is important and I am pleased to see the operating expenses declined with 28 percent in our US subsidiary partly due to positive FX impact, explaining most of the reduction of 14 percent at a Group level.
In the quarter, we outlined the strategy for AmorphOX® to focus on larger molecules and pursue partnerships to broaden our presence in this area.
In our assessment of our businesses, it is clear the main future value driver is our AmorphOX platform and our R&D projects based on the technology. In the quarter, we outlined a strategy for AmorphOX to focus on larger molecules and pursue partnerships to broaden our presence in this area. Increasing the data from AmorphOX is critical for many large pharma companies to reduce risk in the formulation, and the data from the collaboration with Abera Bioscience is an important contribution to the credibility of AmorphOX in large molecules and vaccines. We have made some concrete progress in the quarter, both for Izipry and OX640. Since OX640 is not within our commercial focus, our goal is to out-license it as the first AmorphOX-based product that could make an important contribution to Orexo's financial results from 2025 and onward.
Uppsala, Sweden, July 16, 2025
Nikolaj Sørensen President and CEO
Zubsolv is indicated for the maintenance treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) and should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which includes counseling and psychosocial support. The drug is based on Orexo´s sublingual drug delivery platform and is available in six dosage strengths.

Misuse of opioids is a global healthcare problem but is of epidemic proportion in the US. It is estimated that 8.9 million people aged 12 or older in the US are currently misusing opioids.¹ Of these, around 5.7 million are dependent on opioids, and approx. 2.3 million are receiving medicationassisted treatment (MAT).² Latest available data is showing predicted number of reported fatal opioid overdoses of more than 55,000 annually.³ Nine out of ten of these involve synthetic illicitly manufactured opioids, such as fentanyl.⁴ Additionally adulterants, such as xylazine, a veterinary tranquilizer, are being mixed in with the fentanyl and is being identified in more drug tests across the US, adding complications to rescue situations and possible treatment regimens. Although recent opioid overdose data show a decline in deaths, likely due to increased access to treatment and other interventions, the mortality rate remains alarmingly high.
In Q2, the buprenorphine/naloxone market grew 3 percent versus Q1 2025 and grew 4 percent versus Q2 2024, showing single digit quarter over quarter growth in all insured patient segments and single digit declines in the cash segment. The recently approved (July 4) law, known as the Big Beautiful Bill, will result in reductions to Medicaid funding. The implications of these changes for access to care among individuals with OUD are not yet clear, but the developments are being closely monitored.
Although adoption has lagged behind projections, the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act is expected to have a modest positive impact on the long-term growth of the buprenorphine/naloxone market. The law, effective January 1, 2023, removed the cap on the numbers of patients physicians can treat with MAT and now all physicians with a license to prescribe controlled drug substances can prescribe MAT for OUD.
The market has in recent years shifted from growth in Medicaid to the Commercial segment. In Medicaid, the market grew 1 percent vs Q2 2024, while the Commercial segment increased 11 percent.
Zubsolv total volume was flat versus Q1 2025. This was balanced by 1 percent growth in the open segment where Zubsolv holds a competitive formulary position. Within the open segment growth came mainly from 3 of the 4 largest Zubsolv volume Medicaid states Maryland, New York, Ohio. Volume declined in the non-reimbursed segment and at United Health Group Commercial (UHG) and Humana Medicare D.
Compared to Q2 2024 Zubsolv volume declined 6 percent. Zubsolv declined 1 percent in Open segment, but the majority of the decline was driven by a decrease in the nonreimbursed segment, and at UHG Commercial and Humana Medicare D. The Medicare decrease is driven by the new rebate policy implemented January 1, 2025. While this policy led to unfavorable formulary changes that prioritize generics, it did have a favorable net price impact for Zubsolv.
Zubsolv's best in class market access in the Commercial payer segment maintains at 99 percent. In the Public payer segment, Zubsolv market access maintains at 49 percent.

– The next-generation drug delivery technology unlocks a broad range of new opportunities in the development of innovative drugs.

Amorphous materials are more and more common in drug development and can be of great importance for the properties of the drug product. These materials are non-crystalline and possess no long-range order, providing them with unique and highly attractive properties, such as very rapid dissolution in aqueous solutions.

Amorphous materials are non-crystalline and unstable, but offer rapid dissolution in drug delivery.
Historically, amorphous drug compositions were found to degrade during storage due to chemical and physical instability. Orexo has developed a solution: AmorphOX.
AmorphOX is a powder-based technology providing the stability needed for amorphous materials.
It is made up of particles that are built using the unique combination of a drug, carrier materials and, optionally, other excipients such as a permeability enhancer.

AmorphOX has successfully been validated in multiple clinical studies during the development of nasal rescue medications for opioid overdoses, one including naloxone (OX124) and one with nalmefene (OX125). In addition, it has also been clinically proven with epinephrine (OX640), a product for the treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Data has demonstrated qualities such as rapid absorption, excellent bioavailability and improved handling and storage properties.
Superior pharmacokinetic (PK) properties with more rapid onset, higher peak and overall exposure.


When AmorphOX is tested with various APIs the particles are presented as an amorphous composite of the various ingredients resulting in excellent chemical and physical stability in both low and high temperatures, meanwhile the rapidly dissolving property is maintained.
Examples: Chemical degradation after accelerated stability studies at 40°C/75% RH
AmorphOX works with a broad spectrum of active chemical substances, including small molecules, peptides and biologics, and the properties of the powder can be tailored to meet specific needs such as particle size, dissolution properties, and mucosal retention. This makes it a versatile technology with broad applicability in pharmaceutical development across multiple therapeutic areas.
Small molecules Ephinephrine 0,1% after 24 months
Cetrorelix 0,6% after 12 months

Biologics
Protein (spike protein). Retained activity after 3 months (40°C).


A key part of Orexo's strategy to expand the use of AmorphOX is to enter strategic partnerships with both large pharmaceutical companies and smaller, research-focused businesses. By testing AmorphOX in combination with molecules controlled by these partners, we aim to develop new and improved medicines, while also gathering valuable data to enhance the technology.
Partnerships can create significant opportunities for partner companies:
By leveraging the strengths of AmorphOX, our partners can unlock the full potential of their molecules, bringing innovative treatments to market faster and more efficiently.
Thanks to the powder-based technology, the drug can be adapted to be absorbed by the body through different routes of administration. For intranasal delivery, which applies for Orexo's rescue medications a supply chain has been developed, ensuring cost-efficiency and reliability. This strengthens the ability to scale up future intranasal product developments, both internally and in collaboration with other pharmaceutical companies.
The in-house IP department works closely with the R&D team to ensure robust protection throughout the development process securing technologies and pipeline projects are supported by a comprehensive patent strategy. Orexo's strong patent portfolio, including enforceable patents listed in the FDA's 'Orange Book', safeguards the products in key markets.

Opioid overdose is a life-threatening condition, characterized by loss of consciousness and respiratory depression. Based on the AmorphOX technology, Orexo has developed a high-dose naloxone rescue medication, Izipry, designed to reverse opioid overdoses, including those from highly potent synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl and fentanyl analogues.
Izipry has shown significantly faster absorption and substantially higher plasma concentrations of naloxone compared to the reference intramuscular injection. In a cross-study comparison to the current market leader, Izipry shows substantially higher peak plasma concentrations and total exposure of naloxone. These properties can be critical in avoiding brain damage, saving lives. In addition, studies have shown that the AmorphOX technology improves the stability by formulating naloxone as a powder rather than as a liquid. The enhanced stability allows Izipry to remain unaffected at sub-zero temperatures.
Izipry is protected by patents until 2039.
The components critical to initiate commercial manufacturing were delivered according to the latest updated timeline from the supplier. In parallel, work continued to prepare to generate new technical data mainly related to stability and reliability from the commercial product. An updated new drug application is expected to be submitted to the FDA in the summer of 2026. This application follows the complete response letter (CRL) received in Q3 2024.
The IZIPRY™ trade name for OX124 has been conditionally accepted by the FDA. Final approval of the name is conditioned on FDA approval of the product candidate.
Upon approval, Izipry will meet a need for a high-dose naloxone overdose rescue medication given that most opioid overdoses are caused by strong synthetic opioids, such as illicitly manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl analogues.
Izipry is expected to play an important role with those administering multiple doses of 4 mg intranasal naloxone, where synthetic opioids, especially illicitly manufactured fentanyl, are suspected. Its low sensitivity to temperature fluctuations allows Izipry to be stored at sub-zero temperatures without compromising its effectiveness, which is an important advantage for emergency responders operating in colder climates.
Driven by the need to increase access to overdose medication, low-dose naloxone products, including the market leader, have been approved by the FDA as
OX124 –based on AmorphOX® and designed to treat overdoses caused by synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl and fentanyl analogues.
non-prescription over-the-counter (OTC) products. Historically, public and private insurance programs in the US do not cover most OTC products, and patient out-ofpocket costs could make those products prohibitive. Since Izipry will be a prescription product, it is likely to be covered by insurance programs. Furthermore, Izipry may benefit from clinicians co-prescribing high-dose naloxone with prescription opioids.
Orexo will establish financial patient support programs for Izipry to ensure affordability for the most financially vulnerable patients.

-superior absorption and exposure -longer shelf life -less restrictive storage requirements -improved dose conformity -preservative free.
The aim with OX640 is to develop a powder-based intranasal epinephrine product for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions. Epinephrine is commonly used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is a very unstable active ingredient sensitive to chemical degradation, which is the reason why the vast majority of today's commercial epinephrine products have limited shelf-life with restrictive handling and storage.
OX640 is a needle-free epinephrine treatment based on the AmorphOX® technology. Using this platform, the epinephrine has been formulated with certain carrier materials and then spray dried to create a powder suitable for intranasal administration. Unlike liquid-based drugs, powder formulations can better preserve the chemical and physical stability of the active substance, thereby extending shelf life and maintaining therapeutic efficacy over time. These qualities offer important advantages for both patients and healthcare systems globally.
OX640 is protected by patents and patent applications until 2044.
Work continued in preparing for commercial production. This included finalizing the commercial formulation and dose. Additionally, preparations were made to conduct stability studies of the final product, as well as testing the product's robustness (reliability) after being subjected to extreme external factors. The response from FDA was received on the development program and planning for the pivotal trials proceed. During the quarter, discussions also began with corresponding authorities in the EU and the UK.
In parallel, discussions were held with potential partners for continued development and commercialization in global markets.
Anchored by the AmorphOX technology platform, a new rescue medication, OX390, is in development. Designed to complement the existing rescue treatments Izipry and OX125, OX390 addresses the growing adulteration of synthetic opioids, complicating the management of accidental overdoses. When used in combination with naloxone or nalmefene, it has the potential to rescue patients intoxicated with adulterated fentanyl who have not responded to naloxone or nalmefene alone.
There are no known competitor products on the market. OX390 is protected by the AmorphOX patent portfolio.
The pre-clinical development work entered a phase where several powder-based formulations of OX390 were developed with the support of the AmorphOX technology. After completed analyses and extensive evaluations, a decision was made to proceed with a select number of formulations. These drug candidates' efficacy and tolerability will be evaluated in an in-vivo proof-of-concept study. In parallel, meetings were also held with US health authorities regarding potential collaborations in further development.
There have been no changes to the project during the quarter. Developments regarding the first approved intranasal nalmefene product on the US market are being closely monitored. For more information please visit www. orexo.com/rd/pipeline/
Orexo has tested enzymes, peptides, and proteins with the drug delivery platform AmorphOX® and has seen retained activity and significant improvement in stability compared to other formulations in a wide range of storage temperatures. During the quarter, the AmorphOX strategy was refined to accelerate the adoption of the technology. The revised strategy emphasizes a focus on larger molecules, such as vaccines, and the pursuit of strategic partnerships to broaden our presence and application in this area.
In the beginning of the quarter and which was communicated in the Q1 Interim Report (important events after the end of the quarter) positive data were shown from an in vivo proof-of-concept study conducted in collaboration with Abera Bioscience (Abera). The vaccine candidate was administered intranasally, either formulated as a liquid solution or as a powder, using the AmorphOX technology. Data demonstrated that both the liquid and powder formulations generated strong systemic antibody response in serum (IgG) as well as locally in the nose and lungs (IgA). No difference in immune response was seen between the liquid nasal solution and the intranasal powder.
An intranasal influenza vaccine has the potential to easily and effectively help reduce the spread of infections and prevent disease, which could play an important role in
a potential future pandemic. Formulating vaccines in powder form using the AmorphOX technology provides the potential to develop cost-efficient, thermostable vaccines with no need for cold chain requirements.
During the quarter, data were also presented from a stability study in which the core component in Abera´s vaccine platform was formulated as a powder using the AmorphOX technology. The vaccine platform was stored at temperatures ranging from -20 to +40 degrees Celsius for six months. The data showed that the core component retained functionality very well across the temperature range.
Orexo is in discussions with Abera regarding a potential continued collaboration.
Other exploratory feasibility studies conducted along with external parties have progressed as planned during the quarter.
"Shaping the Future of Drug Delivery: Orexo's AmorphOX® Unlocks New Possibilities for Critical Medicines."
Read the interview with Robert Rönn, SVP & Head of R&D at www.orexo.com.
Orexo supports Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company has also been a participant in the UN Global Compact since 2017, and its strategy aligns with both UN principles and the SDGs.
SDG 3: "Good health and well-being", and in particular target 3.5: "Strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, including narcotic drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol" continue to be core to Orexo's business.
The sustainability strategy involves four focus areas:
Responsible business based on trust, transparency, integrity, and no tolerance for corruption are central to all our activities and a foundation for our sustainability work.
Increase access to healthcare among patients with OUD and develop new innovative medications meeting large unmet needs.
To create a healthy working climate, an inclusive and diverse culture in all teams.
Reduce impact on environment and climate change across all our activities and our products.
For in-depth information about the sustainability work view www.orexo.com or the 2024 Sustainability Report.


An update of the sustainability strategy was initiated based on the results of the double materiality analysis conducted in H2 2024, in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In parallel, developments related to the Omnibus package, which introduces extensive reporting exemptions under CSRD, were closely monitored.
To expand access to patient support programs for individuals facing financial difficulties, initiatives were launched to train and support the sales force in leveraging these programs during engagements with healthcare professionals. In parallel, efforts to establish partnerships under the MATCore ® program, which provides treatment, education, and support for patients with OUD, continued in the quarter.
In preparation for certification under the My Green Lab program, a few improvement areas were identified in 2024. In the quarter corresponding actions were taken to enhance laboratory practices, and personnel received targeted training. The aim is to achieve certification by the end of 2025.
For the third consecutive year, the company reported its sustainability progress to the UN Global Compact, in accordance with the Communication on Progress (CoP) framework.
Total net revenues amounted to SEK 118.2 m (154.0) for Q2 and to SEK 264.5 m (293.2) for H1. The decrease is mainly explained by a weaker USD and a non-recurring rebate payment leading to lower net revenues in US Commercial.
US Commercial revenues amounted to SEK 113.5 m (147.9) for Q2. The decrease is driven by product sales of Zubsolv® in the US, primarily as a result of lower demand. An unfavourable payer mix of SEK 3.2 m impacted negatively, while an increase in wholesaler inventories of SEK 1.6 m contributed positively. A weaker USD reduced revenues by SEK 12.0 m, and a large payer 2020 rebate review led to a non-recurring rebate payment of SEK 8.9 m. US Commercial revenues amounted to SEK 246.5 m (277.2) for H1. In local currency US Commercial net revenues for Q2 amounted to USD 11.8 m (13.9) and for H1 to USD 24.3 m (26.3).
HQ & Pipeline partner product related revenues for Q2 amounted to SEK 4.8 m (6.0). The decrease is mainly explained by lower Zubsolv ex-US revenues of SEK 0.4 m (1.5) and lower Abstral royalties of SEK 0.7 m (1.3) partly offset by higher Edluar royalties of SEK 3.6 m (3.3). HQ & Pipeline partner product related revenues amounted to SEK 17.9 m (16.1) for H1.
ZUBSOLV US NET REVENUES DEVELOPMENT
Cost of goods sold (COGS) amounted to SEK 8.4 m (16.3) for Q2. US Commercial amounted to SEK 8.3 m (15.4), the decrease is mainly explained by a positive FX impact of SEK 7.7 m vs prior year, favorable production costs for Zubsolv US and lower technical infrastructure costs for Digital Mental Health Programs (DMHP). HQ & Pipeline

amounted to SEK 0.1 m (0.9) for Q2 where the decrease is due to absence of Zubsolv ex-US tablet sales to Orexo's partner Accord Healthcare. Cost of goods sold (COGS) amounted to SEK 29.2 m (29.6) for H1.
Total operating expenses were 14.4 percent lower compared to the same period last year and amounted to SEK 131.4 m (153.5). Weaker USD contributed positively with SEK 3.5 m vs prior year.
Selling expenses amounted to SEK 40.1 m (52.2) for Q2. The decrease is mainly explained by lower marketing related costs for OX124 and lower market access related Group Purchasing Organization ( GPO ) - fees in US Commercial. Selling expenses amounted to SEK 82.6 m (95.6) for H1.
Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 31.0 m (42.2) for Q2. The decrease is mainly explained by lower costs for legal expenses for DOJ investigation and lower spending on Digital Mental Health Programs (DMHP) in US Commercial. Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 62.0 m (77.1) for H1.
Research and development costs amounted to SEK 57.2 m (64.3) for Q2. The decrease is mainly explained by lower patent related costs, lower amortization costs for DMHP and Zubsolv intangible assets partly offset by higher costs for OX124. Research and development costs amounted to SEK 108.8 m (120.9) for H1.

Other operating income and expenses amounted to SEK -3.0 m (5.2) for Q2. This is mainly explained by exchange-rate losses derived from revaluations of parent company balance sheet items in foreign currency, predominantly in USD, amounted to SEK -3.8 m (0.0), lower received insurance reimbursement of SEK 0.6 m (2.9), lower partner reimbursement of development costs of SEK 0.0 m (1.1) and absence of MATCore grants of SEK 0.0 m (1.1). Other operating income and expenses amounted to SEK -8.5 m (9.5) for H1.
EBITDA amounted to SEK -10.1 m (5.0) for Q2 and to SEK -4.2 m (20.9) for H1.
The EBITDA contribution from US Commercial amounted to SEK 36.6 m (46.9) for Q2 and to SEK 81.7 m (89.6) for H1.
Total EBIT amounted to SEK -21.5 m (-15.8) for Q2 and to SEK -26.7 m (-20.5) for H1.
EBIT contribution from US Commercial amounted to SEK 35.5 m (36.0) for Q2 (including the negative impact of SEK 8.9 m from the non-recurring rebate payment), equal to an EBIT margin of 31.3 percent (24.4). EBIT contribution from US Commercial amounted to SEK 79.5 m (67.9) for H1, equal to an EBIT margin of 32.3 percent (24.5).
Net financial items for Q2 amounted to SEK -12.3 m (-21.5) and is mainly explained by lower bond loan costs of SEK -12.0 m (-21.4), negative unrealized exchange rate impact of SEK -0.2 m (-0.8) derived from the parent company's foreign currency bank accounts in USD and lower interest income from bank accounts of SEK 0.3 m (1.1). Net financial items amounted to SEK -26.4 m (-26.6) for H1.
Total tax expenses amounted to SEK -5.9 m (1.4) for Q2. The increase is mainly explained by higher negative adjustment of SEK -5.1 m (2.5) to deferred tax assets related to temporary differences. Total tax expenses amounted to SEK -2.6 m (2.3) for H1. Orexo performs regular assessments of its deferred tax asset and adjusts according to the recognition requirements of IAS 12.
Net earnings amounted to SEK -39.8 m (-35.9) for Q2 and to SEK -55.6 m (-44.8) for H1.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -0.7 m (-6.5) for Q2 and was negatively impacted primarily by negative operating earnings and interest paid partly offset by adjustment for non-cash items. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 32.1 m (-25.4) for H1.
Financial activities in the quarter were impacted positively by sale of Orexo own bond of SEK 10.0 m (0.0) in nominal value and after the transaction Orexo holds SEK 20 m in nominal value of its' own bond.
Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 3.7 m (-57.1) excluding a negative USD currency effect of SEK -1,5 m (-1.2). Total cash flow for H1 amounted to SEK 10.4 m (-34.0) excluding a negative USD currency effect of SEK -12,4 m (2.6).
As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 121.3 m (139.7) and interest-bearing liabilities to SEK 471.6 m (458.5), i.e. a negative net cash position of SEK -350.3 m (-318.8). Cash and cash equivalents increased by SEK 2.2 m from Q1 2025.



Gross investments in tangible and intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 0.0 m (2.7) for Q2 and to SEK 0.0 m (3.8) for H1.
Shareholders' equity on June 30, 2025, was SEK -197.0 m (24.2).
Net revenues for Q2 amounted to SEK 4.8 m (105.8) of which SEK 0.0 m (99.8) was related to sales to Group companies. Net revenues amounted to SEK 17.9 m (206.3) for H1 of which SEK 0.0 m (190.2) was related to sales to Group companies.
Total EBIT amounted to SEK -60.8 m (-7.4) for Q2 and to SEK -112.6 m (-5.1) for H1.
Earnings before tax amounted to SEK -47.0 m (-28.5) for Q2 and to SEK -85.5 m (-33.2) for H1.
Investments in equipment for the development organization for Q2 amounted to SEK 0.0 m (2.7) and to SEK 0.0 m (3.8) for H1.
As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents in the parent company amounted to SEK 41.1 m (111.2).
Parent company shareholders' equity at June 30, 2025, was SEK 955.8 m (131.2). The increase over the same period last year is mainly explained by the internal transaction with the sale of assets related to the US Zubsolv business to the wholly owned subsidiary Biolipox AB at a fair market value of SEK 1,138.9 m in Q4 2024.
The financial outlook 2025 is based on a forward-looking assumption of a USD/SEK exchange rate of 10.50. The average USD/SEK exchange rate during Q2 was 9.64 and 9.49 in the end of the quarter. Going forward, a volatile market may lead to changes in the exchange rate. In a currency sensitivity analysis including a 10 percent decline in USD/SEK, the negative impact on US Commercial net sales will be dampened at the EBIT level due to a natural hedge on the cost side covering about 80 percent of the reduced net sales.
This report contains forward-looking statements that reflect the company's current expectations. Although the company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations prove to be correct as they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially due to a variety of factors.
These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in global economy, market and competitive conditions, changes in product demand, supply and production constraints, currency fluctuations, developments in product litigations, changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and, other than as required by applicable law, the company undertakes no obligation to update any of them considering new information or future events.
Orexo is exposed to external risks such as geopolitical conflicts and political and regulatory changes. Other risks that can have an impact on the company´s business are operational and sustainability risks as well as financial risks that can impact the financial development and position. The company continuously works to proactively identify, analyze, and mitigate both known and emerging risks.
Significant risks and uncertainties are presented in the Annual and Sustainability Report for 2024 and in the Interim Report Note 4, Disputes.
The recently approved (July 4) law, known as the Big Beautiful Bill, will result in reductions to Medicaid funding. The implications of these changes for access to care among individuals with OUD are not yet clear, but the developments are being closely monitored.
In relation to the potential imposed tariffs on global trade, potential tariffs on pharmaceuticals and manufacturing materials could affect the development projects, which are more dependent on an international supply chain. The current level of uncertainty makes it challenging to take immediate action, but the company is actively engaged in mitigation planning for various scenarios, which may require reconsideration of some elements of the planned supply chain.
