CEO COMMENTS

Well positioned to advance pipeline to value inflection points

CEO comments in brief

With the divestment of Zubsolv® US, Orexo has entered a new phase. A stronger financial position allows us to step up investments in R&D, with our AmorphOX® technology at the core. During the quarter, we made good progress, particularly in the OX640 program, where we are preparing to initiate our first pivotal clinical studies later this year. It is also encouraging to see how our R&D teams are continuing to use AmorphOX to improve stability and bioavailability in challenging molecules such as peptides. Finally, I am pleased with how the organization has handled the transition following the Zubsolv US divestment, including the care and respect shown to colleagues who needed to leave the US organization.

Successful transition after Zubsolv divestment

The transaction closed on New Year's Eve and most of the transition activities were completed during the first quarter. From a people perspective this includes re-organization in the US, provisions and payment of severance packages, and accelerated vesting of long-term incentive programs for employees leaving the company. In addition, the divestment of Zubsolv US resulted in several changes to the balance sheet, with a significant impact on cash flow during the quarter. The most notable item was the redemption of the SEK 500 million corporate bond at the end of March. Payments of rebates and returns related to products sold by Orexo during 2025 also had a relatively significant impact on cash flow during the quarter. For the coming quarters, the cash impact from rebate and return payments is expected to be significantly lower. At the end of the quarter, cash amounted to SEK 386 million (of which SEK 52 million is attributable to Dexcel). This cash position places Orexo in a good position to finance the promising pipeline and advance our three focus areas; our development programs, exploratory research and partnered development, to the next value inflection.

Interim Report Q1 2026


CEO COMMENTS

Orexo development projects making steady progress

With our lead product OX640, an intranasal rescue medication for anaphylaxis, we are well positioned to take a leading role in a market that is on the verge of transforming from injectable to needle-free treatments. We are now entering the most intense and resource-intensive phase where we need to establish the commercial manufacturing line and initiate pivotal clinical studies. The first, a nasal allergy challenge study, is planned for Q4 this year and will be key to establishing the bioavailability of the commercial product. OX640 will be the company's main investment over the next two years, with total external expenses estimated to exceed SEK 200 million.

Our OX390 project, a nasal rescue medication for adulterated overdoses, is being developed in partnership with the US authority, BARDA. The project advances according to the agreed timeline. It addresses a growing public health challenge related to overdoses involving adulterated opioids, where existing rescue treatments are often insufficient. Current activities include the first in-vivo study of the nasal formulations and preparation for a type C meeting with the FDA with a focus on the non-clinical plan.

The results from the final stability and reliability studies required by the FDA for Izipry™ are looking promising and we are planning for a resubmission in the third quarter, with potential approval in early 2027. Following the sale of Zubsolv US, the strategy is to find a commercialization partner for Izipry in the US. The market is very competitive with decreasing prices of the low-dose naloxone nasal rescue medication. This is expected to position Izipry in a niche segment, where its higher dose, strong bioavailability, and thermostable formulation offer clear advantages, particularly in regions with cold climates and a high prevalence of fentanyl related overdoses.

Exploring new applications of AmorphOX

During the quarter, we have continued to explore potential for AmorphOX® in peptides initially with a focus on GLP-1 agonists. The first study with nasal delivery was promising, but we need to continue optimization of the formulation to reach the desired bioavailability, especially for treatment of obesity where higher dosages are required. In parallel, we expanded our exploratory work to oral formulations, where applying the AmorphOX technology to combine peptides with supporting excipients in a single particle could improve their profile compared with oral products currently available on the market.

> We have during the quarter continued to explore potential for AmorphOX in peptides initially with a focus on GLP-1 agonists

Early steps in partnering the technology

The AmorphOX technology has applications beyond what is feasible for Orexo to pursue and explore. There are many opportunities to be found in products under development where companies are struggling with stability of their product and/or the bioavailability. Orexo is working with some smaller and larger companies to test the feasibility of AmorphOX in their products and our ambition is to grow this portfolio of projects moving beyond the current state, for example feasibility projects.

New path, new opportunities and a lot of potential

We have taken an important step forward to ensure the company has the capacity to develop our pipeline and products where we see significant long-term potential. I am certain the greatest value opportunities are in projects where Orexo maintain a central role from development to commercialization. This is also reflected in the capital allocation where our own projects take more than 80 percent of the investment in R&D. With the sale of Zubsolv we are well positioned to take our projects to important value inflections, which will be critical enablers to enter partnerships and if the opportunity is right also for Orexo to take an active role in the commercialization phase. Reaching the value inflection of our development programs is important to our ambitions for business development, to secure the financial capacity to advance our R&D focus areas and create shareholder value.

> Reaching the value inflection of our development programs is important to our ambitions for business development, to secure the financial capacity to advance our R&D focus areas and create shareholder value

I want to show my appreciation to our employees in the US and Sweden who have been extraordinarily engaged and committed to Orexo during this transition following the sale of Zubsolv.

Projects in brief

OX472

OX472 is a project investigating applying the AmorphOX® powder-based formulation technology to GLP-1 agonists. Initially the development has been focused on intranasal semaglutide and an in-vivo proof-of-concept study demonstrated promising pharmacokinetic data for intranasal AmorphOX formulations in comparison to oral semaglutide tablets (Rybelsus®). These results support the continued development of AmorphOX to enable needle-free intranasal delivery of large molecules, such as semaglutide and other peptides, offering improved convenience, potential adherence benefits, no refrigeration requirement, and the possibility of extended dosing intervals. The AmorphOX technology could also support other routes of administration, and these are explored in parallel with the intranasal administration.

OX472 is protected by patents and patent applications ranging from 2041 to 2047.

Vaccine

An intranasal influenza vaccine, developed with Abera Bioscience, combines the AmorphOX powder-based formulation technology with Abera's BERA™ vaccine platform. In-vivo proof-of-concept data in rats demonstrated robust systemic and mucosal immune responses (IgG and IgA), comparable to a liquid nasal formulation. The results support the potential of AmorphOX for developing thermostable, needle-free mucosal vaccines.

OX640

The aim with OX640 is to develop a powder-based intranasal epinephrine product for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is commonly used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is a very unstable active ingredient sensitive to chemical degradation, particularly when exposed to elevated temperatures, which is the reason why the vast majority of today's commercial epinephrine products have limited shelf-life and restrictive storage conditions.

OX640 is protected by patents and patent applications ranging from 2041 to 2044.

OX390

Orexo is developing. OX390, in partnership with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). OX390 builds on the substance alipamezole, combined with a novel formulation and route of administration supported by the AmorphOX platform. It is intended to reverse respiratory depression from adulterated opioid overdoses, a growing issue in the US due to the spread of animal tranquilizers, namely xylazine and medetomidine.

There are no known competitor products on the market. OX390 is protected by patents and patent applications ranging from 2041 to 2046.

Izipry™

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 is protected by patents until 2039.

Q1 2026 developments

☑ For the GLP-1 semaglutide program with intranasal delivery the exploratory formulation work progressed, supporting continued evaluation of new formulation approaches.
☑ Exploration of new AmorphOX applications progressed into oral peptide delivery. This included the initiation of formulation development for semaglutide tablets as part of the preparations for a preclinical in-vivo pharmacokinetic proof-of-concept study planned for H2 2026. One new patent application was filed covering an oral semaglutide tablet.
☑ Within the vaccine project, activities focused on expanding the evidence base, primarily through potential continued collaboration with Abera Bioscience and discussions with additional potential partners across both industry and academia.

Q1 2026 developments

☑ Izipry™ – Studies to evaluate the stability and reliability of the final commercial product continued during the quarter. Data from these studies will be included in the updated new drug application (NDA) planned to be submitted to the FDA in the third quarter of 2026, in line with the most recently communicated timeline. The NDA follows the Complete Response Letter received from the agency in the third quarter of 2024.
☑ OX640 – Analysis was conducted on the spray dried powder manufactured at commercial scale. The particles demonstrated uniform quality and high performance, supporting the initiation of commercial manufacturing of the nasal powder. This represents a critical step ahead of the first pivotal clinical study, planned for the fourth quarter of 2026, in line with the previously communicated timeline. In parallel, Human Factors studies were initiated to evaluate the instructions for use of the product.
☑ OX390 – An in-vivo proof-of-concept study was initiated to evaluate bioavailability and pharmacokinetics in four selected formulations. The study is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026. A team from Orexo visited BARDA in Washington, DC, for continued discussions related to the project. In parallel, the next steps in the preclinical program were prepared, with a focus on toxicology studies, and an advisory meeting with the FDA is planned for the second quarter of 2026.

Q1 2026 developments

☑ Feasibility studies with potential partners supported efforts to broaden the application and partnering scope of AmorphOX beyond Orexo's own capacity and molecule access.

Interim Report Q1 2026


FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

img-19.jpeg

Financial development

On December 31, 2025, Orexo closed the transaction with Dexcel Pharma USA acquiring the full rights to Zubsolv® in the US. The upfront consideration paid at closing of the transaction amounted to USD 91 m plus the value of inventory of USD 3.8 m. Furthermore, Orexo is entitled to a contingent consideration of up to USD 16.8 m, based on future net sales during 2026 and 2027.

Following the transaction, segment reporting has ceased and operations are no longer monitored on a segment basis. The Q1 financial reporting therefore reflects continued operations previously reported within the US Commercial and HQ & Pipeline segments, while the Zubsolv US business is presented as discontinued operations in Note 10.

Net revenues

Total net revenues for Q1 amounted to SEK 5.0 m (13.2). The decrease is mainly explained by lower Zubsolv ex-US revenues of SEK 0.5 m (8.1) reflecting the absence of tablet sales to Orexo's partner Accord Healthcare while finalizing their Zubsolv manufacturing setup. Lower Abstral royalties of SEK 0.7 m (1.7) also contributed to the decrease.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold (COGS) for Q1 amounted to SEK 0.5 m (4.7), the decrease is due to absence of Zubsolv ex-US tablet sales to Orexo's partner Accord Healthcare.

Operating expenses

Selling expenses amounted to SEK 0.1 m (-1.7) for Q1. The decrease is mainly explained by lower marketing related costs for Izipry™ and DMHP activities. Also positive adjustment for long-term incentive programs contributed to the decrease.

Administrative expenses amounted to SEK -37.5 m (-30.4) for Q1. The increase is mainly explained by higher expenses for seeking a settlement in the DOJ investigation.

Research and development costs amounted to SEK -50.1 m (-47.1) for Q1. The increase is mainly explained by higher costs for OX640 and OX390 partly offset by lower internal costs.

Other operating income and expenses amounted to SEK 8.0 m (-5.6) for Q1. This is mainly explained by higher BARDA reimbursement of OX390 related costs of SEK 7.1 m (0.0), higher exchange rate gains SEK 0.4 m (-7.1) derived from revaluations of parent company balance sheet items in foreign currency, predominantly in USD partly offset by lower insurance reimbursement of SEK 0.3 m (1.1) of DOJ investigation related legal expenses.

Operating profit

EBITDA amounted to SEK -66.1 m (-65.2) for Q1

EBIT amounted to SEK -75.0 m (-76.3) for Q1.

Net financial items and tax

Net financial items for Q1 amounted to SEK -29.2 m (-14.1) and are mainly explained by higher bond loan costs of SEK -32.9 m (-11.5) following the early redemption of the corporate bond and by lower negative unrealized exchange rate impact of SEK -0.6 m (-2.6) derived from the parent company's foreign currency bank accounts in USD. This was partly offset by higher interest income from bank accounts of SEK 4.4 m (0.3).

Total tax expenses amounted to SEK -1.0 m (-0.3) for Q1. Orexo performs regular assessments of its deferred tax asset and adjusts according to the recognition requirements of IAS 12.

Net earnings

Net earnings for Q1 amounted to SEK -105.2 m (-90.6).

Cash and cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -33.3 m (-41.6) for Q1 and was impacted primarily by negative operating earnings, costs for the early redemption of the corporate bond and a negative adjustment for non-cash items. This was partly offset by positive changes in working capital primarily driven by the collection of all Zubsolv sales related receivables from 2025. In addition, under the transition services agreement following the divestment of the US Zubsolv business to Dexcel, Orexo continues to collect Zubsolv revenues on behalf of Dexcel during the first nine months of the year with a positive impact on working capital.

During the quarter, Orexo exercised its right to carry out an early redemption of the outstanding senior secured social bond which had a negative impact of SEK -490.0 m (0.0) on financing activities.

Note: Unless otherwise stated, all numbers refer to the Group and relate to the current quarter, while numbers in parentheses refer to the corresponding period in the previous year.

Interim Report Q1 2026


FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -527.9 m (-66.7) excluding a positive USD currency effect of SEK 9.2 m (-10.8).

As of March 31, 2026, total cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 386.2 m (119.1) of which Orexo's own cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 333.8 m (119.1) and cash and cash equivalents payable to Dexcel amounted to SEK 52.3 m (0.0). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 0.0 m (460.8), i.e. a positive net cash position of SEK 386.2 m (-341.7). Cash and cash equivalents decreased by SEK 526.2 m from Q4 2025.

Investments

Gross investments in tangible and intangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 0.1 m (0.0) for Q1.

Equity

Shareholders' equity on March 31, 2026, was SEK 364.7 m (-161.3).

Discontinued operations

Net earnings for Q1 amounted to SEK -28.7 m (74.7) and are explained mainly by post transaction related restructuring costs.

Parent company

Net revenues for Q1 amounted to SEK 5.0 m (13.2), the decrease is mainly explained by lower Zubsolv ex-US revenues of SEK 0.5 m (8.1) due to no sales of tablets to Orexo's partner Accord Healthcare and lower Abstral royalties of SEK 0.7 m (1.7).

EBIT amounted to SEK -106.8 m (51.8) for Q1.

Earnings before tax amounted to SEK -115.4 m (-38.5) for Q1 mainly explained by higher operating expenses from research and development activities in Sweden and the US. Higher negative financial items had a negative impact mainly from the early redemption of the outstanding senior secured social bond.

Investments in equipment for the development organization for Q1 amounted to SEK 0.1 m (0.0).

As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents in the parent company amounted to SEK 41.6 m (24.3).

Parent company shareholders' equity at March 31, 2026, was SEK 471.0 m (988.9). The decrease over the same period last year is mainly explained by negative operating earnings and SEK 269.2 m write-down for accounting purposes of group receivable.

This report was prepared pursuant to IAS 34. Orexo applies IFRS® Accounting Standards on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies are in line with those used in the preparation of the 2025 Annual Report.

The Parent Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with RFR 2 (Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation) and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

2. Segment reporting

3. Cash flow

ADJUSTMENT FOR NON-CASH ITEMS

SEK m 2026 Jan-Mar 2025 Jan-Mar 2025 Jan-Dec

4. Dispute

On July 14, 2020, Orexo became aware of an investigation by the US authorities and the investigation is ongoing. Based on communications from the US authorities, the company believes the investigation concerns principally certain historic marketing messaging campaigns and whether they were compliant with law. Other areas of interest to the government are Orexo's selection of healthcare providers to market, as well as Orexo's voucher and co-pay programs. Orexo's position is that Zubsolv has been promoted in a compliant and responsible manner, but Orexo is seeking a resolution. Orexo as of this date is not aware of any filed civil or criminal case related to the investigation.

5. Deferred tax

The tax effect of the Group's temporary differences are related to non-deductible current provisions for sales rebates, sales allowances, distribution, sales returns and other relevant deductions in the company's US operations. Deferred tax assets relates to intercompany profit in inventory, non-deductible current provisions for sales rebates, sales allowances, distribution, sales returns and other relevant deductions in the company's US operations.

The tax-loss carry-forward in the Group amounts to SEK 1,258.7 m as of December 31, 2025 and refers to Swedish companies. Deferred tax assets for tax losses carried forward are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the losses can be utilized. The Group's tax losses carried forward at the balance sheet date have not been recognized as deferred tax assets, as the recognition criteria under IAS 12 have not been met. There is no time limit for when the remaining loss carryforwards can be utilized.

6. Financial instruments

The Group's financial instruments consists of current receivables, non-current receivables, cash and cash equivalents, current non-interest bearing liabilities and current interest-bearing liabilities. The financial instruments held by the group are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method and discounted net present value. Earn out is measured at fair value level 3 (discounted net present value). Revaluations are reported under other income and expenses in operating profit. Significant input data affecting the valuation is primarily the buyer's actual sales of Zubsolv in 2026 and 2027.

7. Related parties
