Vicore's Phase 2b ASPIRE trial remains on track and is expected to complete enrollment in the first half of next year.
During the second quarter, Vicore continued to execute with focus, ensuring efficient site activation and enrollment for the global, randomized Phase 2b ASPIRE trial. The company has a clear path forward for the development of buloxibutid in IPF and has maintained a strong financial position to allow the company to complete this impactful trial with additional cash runway thereafter.
The ASPIRE trial was initiated after regulatory clearance in September 2024 and designed to study the change in forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline over 52-weeks, the registrational endpoint for IPF. We remain on track to enroll the last patient into the study in the first half of 2026, as we
have secured regulatory approvals in all 14 participating countries, patient enrollment is progressing as planned, and the quality of participating sites and patient engagement has been very good. We are particularly encouraged by the enthusiasm from the clinical community and the recognition of the transformative potential of buloxibutid's differentiated mechanism of action. Given the unique mechanism of this first-in-class program, buloxibutid has the potential to redefine the treatment paradigm in fibrotic lung disease - not merely slowing disease progression but potentially preserving or improving lung function.
We continue to see strong interest in the trial, supported by the limited number of programs in late-stage development for IPF and the need for more effective and better tolerated therapies. Physicians and patients are also enthusiastic about the trial because of early signal of the excellent tolerability in the Phase 2a study and the patientfriendly trial design. This bodes well for our recruitment plans heading into the second half of 2025.
With the ASPIRE trial and Phase 3 readiness activities progressing, Vicore's management team continued to attend scientific and banking conferences throughout the quarter to keep stakeholders updated on the potential

of buloxibutid in IPF and Vicore's future ambitions. Vicore presented multiple oral presentations and posters at the 2025 American Thoracic Society International Conference in May, where the team had the opportunity to highlight new preclinical data supporting buloxibutid's unique mechanism of action. Toby Maher, MD, PhD, Professor of Clinical Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, also presented further detail from the Phase 2a AIR trial evaluating buloxibutid in IPF, including a synthetic control arm analysis utilizing real world data from a large cohort of
IPF patients, which provided additional support for the robust treatment effect of buloxibutid observed in the Phase 2a AIR study.
Despite the ongoing market volatility driven by continued uncertainty around US tariff policy and broader macroeconomic stability, Vicore is in a fortunate position thanks to the SEK 880 million (USD ~85 million) capital raise during the fourth quarter of 2024.
I want to thank everyone whose support has helped to bring Vicore to where we are today. I'm fortunate to be working alongside a dedicated and talented team and to be supported by
shareholders and partners who share our vision and believe in our long-term ambitions. We are entering the second half of the year with strong momentum and a clear sense of purpose: to bring transformational therapies to patients suffering from severe fibrotic diseases. This mission is all the more critical given both the high unmet need that exists for this deadly disease today and the limited late-stage development pipeline.

Research and development expenses amounted to SEK 99.4 million and SEK 50.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase compared to the previous year is primarily attributable the ongoing Phase 2b clinical study with buloxibutid in IPF. Costs for share-based incentive programs related to research and development staff amounted to SEK 1.6 million and SEK 2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Other operating income/(expense), net amounted to SEK 0.6 million and (SEK 0.4 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other operating income and expenses mainly consist of exchange rate differences arising from supplier invoices.
Cost for social contributions for share-based incentive programs varies from quarter to quarter due to the change in the underlying share price. Associated provisions are reported as other provisions under non-current and current liabilities. The total costs for the share-based incentive programs, including IFRS 2 classified salary costs and provisions for social security contributions, amounted to SEK 4.7 million and to SEK 5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These costs have had no cash flow impact.
Net financial income/(expenses) amounted to (SEK 4.2 million) and SEK 6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease compared to the previous year is primarily attributable to exchange rate differences on cash and short-term investments. In line with the group's treasury guidelines, cash is exchanged to foreign currency, and invested over different maturities, in order to align with the currency exposure arising from the fact that the majority of the group's agreements and expenses are

Cash flow from/(used in) operating activities amounted to (SEK 106.5 million) and (SEK 49.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The continued negative cash flow from the operating activities is according to plan and is explained by the company's increasing investment in the clinical development program. Adjustment for items not included in the cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, amounted to SEK 4.5 million and SEK 6.1 million, respectively, and mainly consists of costs for share-based incentive programs.
Cash flow from/(used in) investing activities amounted to (SEK 250.3 million) and (SEK 24.8 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The difference compared to the previous year is mainly attributable to acquisition of short term investments.

Accordingly, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments amounted in total to SEK 937.0 million (SEK 1,156.0 million as of December 31, 2024).
Equity as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, amounted to SEK 908.3 million and SEK 435.0 million, and the corresponding equity per share amounted to SEK 3.87 and SEK 3.89, respectively.

This report covers the Swedish parent company Vicore Pharma Holding AB (publ), corporate registration number 556680-3804, and its subsidiaries Vicore Pharma AB and Vicore Pharma US Inc. The parent company is a limited liability company registered in Stockholm, Sweden. The address of the main office is Kornhamnstorg 53, 111 27 Stockholm, Sweden. The group's main operation is research and development of pharmaceutical products.
The interim report for the second quarter 2025 was approved for publication on August 22, 2025, in accordance with a board decision on August 21, 2025.
Vicore's consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as the interpretations from the IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRS IC) as adopted by the European Union (EU). Furthermore, the group also applies the Annual Accounts Act (1995: 1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 "Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups". Relevant accounting and valuation principles can be found on pages 35-36 of the 2024 Annual Report. In addition, the accounting principles
for financial assets and liabilities are presented below.
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The parent company applies the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A are provided both in the notes and throughout in the interim report.
Vicore applies ESMA:s (European Securities and Markets Authority) guidelines on alternative performance measures.
As of January 1, 2025, the Parent Company applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in full, in accordance with RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. The accounting policy is consistent with that applied in the group. Previously, the Parent Company applied the acquisition cost method under the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The change has not had any material impact on the reported amounts, and therefore comparative figures have not been restated. The accounting principles and calculation methods, with the exception of the changes described above, are unchanged from those applied in the Annual Report for the financial year January 1 - December 31, 2024.
A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the group becomes a party according to the instrument's contractual terms. A financial asset is removed from the
balance sheet when the rights in the agreement are realized, expire or when the group loses control over them. The same applies to a part of a financial asset. A financial liability is removed from the balance sheet when the obligation in the agreement is fulfilled or otherwise extinguished. The same applies to a part of a financial debt. Acquisitions and divestments of financial assets are reported on the trade date. The trade date constitutes the day when the company undertakes
to acquire or divest the asset. Financial instruments are classified on initial recognition, including on the basis of what purpose the instrument was acquired and managed. This classification determines the valuation of the instruments.
The classification of financial assets that are debt instruments, is based on the group's business model for managing the asset and the nature of the asset's contractual cash flows. Assets are classified according to:
The group's financial assets that are classified at amortized cost include accounts receivable, certain other receivables, short-term investments, and
cash and cash equivalents. Financial assets classified at amortised cost are initially measured at fair value with the addition of transaction costs. After initial recognition, the assets are valued at amortized cost after a deduction of a loss reserve for expected credit losses. Assets classified at amortized cost are held according to the business model to collect contractual cash flows, which are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.
The group's financial assets that are classified at fair value through profit or loss relate to holdings in listed and non-listed shares.
The group's impairment model is based on expected credit losses, and takes into account prospective information. A loss reserve is made when there is an exposure to credit risk, usually at initial recognition for an asset or receivable.
The group's financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and other current liabilities, which are all classified at amortized cost. Financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost are initially measured at fair value including transaction costs. After the initial recognition, they are valued according to the effective interest method.
During the period, remuneration to the group's senior executives and the board has been paid in accordance with current policies. The following intragroup transactions took place during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the first six months 2025:
Vicore Pharma Holding AB invoiced the subsidiary Vicore Pharma AB SEK 51.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, for business support fee. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Vicore Pharma Holding AB invoiced the subsidiary SEK 51.9 million for business support fee.
Vicore Pharma US Inc. invoiced the parent company Vicore Pharma Holding AB SEK 2.0 million for the three monts ended June 30, 2025, for business support fee. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Vicore Pharma US Inc. invoiced the parent company Vicore Pharma Holding AB SEK 2.0 million for business support fee.
Vicore Pharma US Inc. invoiced the sister company Vicore Pharma AB SEK 1.9 million for the three monts ended June 30, 2025, for services within research and development. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Vicore Pharma US Inc. invoiced the sister company Vicore Pharma AB SEK 1.9 million for services within research and development.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, shareholder contributions amounting to SEK 200.0 million were provided from Vicore Pharma Holding AB to the subsidiary Vicore Pharma AB. No other related party transactions have occured during the period other than previously stated.
Vicore is engaged in research and development operations through its subsidiary Vicore Pharma AB. Research and development involve a significant inherent level of risk and is a capital-intensive process. The majority of initiated projects in the drug development industry will never reach market registration due to technical risks, including the risk of insufficient efficacy, intolerable side effects or manufacturing problems. Apart from the one-time payment related to the license agreement with Nippon Shinyaku, Vicore has not generated significant revenue. Vicore's expansion and development related to the development projects may be delayed and/or incur greater costs and capital need than expected. Delays can occur for various reasons, including difficulties in reaching agreements with clinics about participation in clinical studies under acceptable conditions, problems in identifying patients for studies, patients not completing a trial
or not returning for follow-up, or other events outside Vicore's control.
Patents that the company has applied for may not be granted and granted patents may be challenged, leading to loss of patent protection. If competing pharmaceuticals capture market share or reach the market faster, or if competing research projects achieve better product profiles, the future value of the product portfolio may be lower than expected. Decisions from public authorities, including decisions related to approvals, reimbursement and price changes, may also negatively impact the operations.
Through its operations, Vicore is exposed to various types of financial risk: credit risks, market risks (foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and other price risks) and liquidity risks including refinancing risks. The main refinancing risk is not receiving additional investments from shareholders and other investors. The group's overall risk management objective focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and strives to minimize potentially unfavorable consequences for the group's financial position and performance.
For more information about operational and financial risks and other risk factors, see the Annual Report for 2024, available on the company's website, www.vicorepharma.com.
Vicore's financial assets and liabilities comprise cash, cash equivalents, shortterm investments, trade payables and accrued expenses. The fair value of all financial instruments is materially equal to their carrying amounts.

Amortization attributable to research and development expenses mainly relates to the amortization of acquired intangible assets. This consists of a patent portfolio related to buloxibutid, whose main patent expired in the US in September 2024. Amortization began in September 2019 and is amortized over its estimated useful life, which is the remaining patent period.
The purpose of share-based incentive programs is to promote the company's long-term interests by motivating and rewarding the company's senior management and other employees in line with the interests of the shareholders. Vicore currently has four active programs that include the management team, employees and board members.
At the Annual General Meeting on May 11, 2021, it was resolved to implement a new incentive programs: a maximum of 3,000,000 employee stock options to senior leaders and key persons ("Co-worker LTIP 2021").
At the Annual General Meeting on May 11, 2023, it was resolved to implement two new incentive programs: a maximum of 5,000,000 employee stock options to senior leaders and key persons ("Co-worker LTIP 2023"), and a maximum of 120,000 share awards to the board members ("Board LTIP 2023").
At the Annual General Meeting on May 7, 2024, it was resolved to implement a new incentive program: a maximum of 297,000 share awards to the board members ("Board LTIP 2024").
At the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2025, it was resolved to implement two new incentive programs: a maximum of 7,000,000 employee stock options to senior leaders and key persons ("Co-worker LTIP 2025"), and a maximum of 1,070,000 restricted share units (RSUs) to the board members ("Board RSU 2025").For further information about these programs, see the 2024 Annual Report and the company's website, www.vicorepharma.com.
On September 10, 2024, Vicore's board decided to increase the company's share capital through a new issue of shares with preferential rights for Vicore's existing shareholders. The rights issue was completed on October 7, 2024. Therefore, the number of instruments, the exercise price and the number of shares each option or warrant in the company's incentive program entitles to have been recalculated. Initially, and according to the decision of the relevant Annual General Meeting, each vested instrument entitled the participant to one (1) share in Vicore. After the recalculation, each vested instrument will entitle the participant to 1.04 shares in Vicore.
Assuming full utilization of all granted employee stock options and share awards as of June 30, 2025, and taking into account the recalculation of the number of shares that each instrument gives the right to subscribe for as a result of the rights issue, this would correspond to maximum dilution of 3.4 percent. Considering non-granted employee stock options and warrants that may be used as hedge for social security contributions, the maximum dilution level as of June 30, 2025, amounts to 6.0 percent.
The table on the top right summarizes of the changes in existing incentive programs for the first six months 2025. The table on the bottom summarizes the total number of employee stock options and share awards granted as of June 30, 2025.

Vicore applies the guidelines issued by ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) for alternative performance measures (APMs). APMs are financial measurements of historical or future earnings, financial position, financial results or cash flows that are not defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting rules but are central to understanding and evaluating Vicore's operations.
In this report, Vicore presents key performance measures, including two alternative performance measures not defined under IFRS, namely equity ratio and research and development expenses/operating expenses. The company believes these key performance measures are useful to readers of the financial reports as a complement to other key performance measures, as they enable a better evaluation of the company's financial trends. These alternative performance measures should not be viewed in isolation or be considered replacements for the performance indicators prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, such performance measures, as the company has defined them, should not be compared with other performance measures with similar names used by other companies. This is because the above-mentioned performance measures are not always defined in the same manner, and other companies may calculate them differently.

1 Profit/(loss) per share before (after) dilution is calculated by dividing loss attributable to shareholders of the parent company by a weighted average number of outstanding shares before (after) dilution during the period. The average number of outstanding shares has been adjusted for bonus shares in new stock issued targeted towards existing shareholders. There is no dilution effect for potential ordinary shares for periods where earnings have been negative.
2 Equity ratio is the company's APM and is defined on the next page.
3 Research and development expenses/operating expenses (%) is the company's APM.

| Research and development expenses/operating expenses (%) |
Research and development expenses divided by operating expenses. Operating expenses consist of the items administra tive expenses, marketing and distribution expenses, research and development expenses and other operating expenses |
The company believes that the research and development expenses/operating expenses ratio is an important comple ment because it allows for a better evaluation of the compa ny's economic trends and the proportion of its expenses that are attributable to the company's core business |
