Vistin Pharma in brief

Vistin Pharma is a Norwegian pharmaceutical company producing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and solid dosage forms for the global pharmaceutical industry.

The Group was established in 2015 when Vistin Pharma AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vistin Pharma ASA, acquired the B2B business and tablet production assets from Weifa AS. Vistin Pharma also signed a five-year agreement with Weifa AS for the manufacture of its key pain relief brands, such as Paracet, Ibux and Paralgin forte. The transaction was completed on 1 June 2015. Vistin Pharma conducted an equity issue of about NOK 170 million to finance the acquisition and to secure working capital, and the shares of Vistin Pharma ASA were listed on Oslo Axess on 10 June 2015.

With more than 75 years of pharmaceutical industry experience, the Group has built significant capacity and expertise as an API and Solid Dosage Form provider to producers all over the world, and Vistin Pharma's APIs are marketed in more than 50 countries.

Vistin Pharma has key positions and growth potential in the international Metformin and Opioid markets, and a strong foundation for creating a highly efficient CMO business.

The Group has more than 140 employees and two manufacturing facilities in Kragerø, Norway. Both of the facilities are certified in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP). The company's head office is located in Oslo, Norway.

Financial review

Vistin Pharma ASA was established in February 2015, and the Group had no operating activities prior to Vistin Pharma AS' acquisition of the B2B business and tablet production assets from Weifa AS on 1 June 2015. Hence, most of the figures presented in the consolidated interim financial statements represent the financial result of the B2B and CMO business acquired from 1 June 2015.

Vistin Pharma ASA (Group)

Profit and loss

Vistin Pharma had total revenue and other income of NOK 109.7 million in the second quarter 2016, compared to NOK 31.4 million in the second quarter 2015. Revenue in the second quarter 2015 only represented one month of sales, as the Company commenced operations on 1 June 2015.

EBITDA came to NOK 12.6 million for the second quarter, compared to NOK 2.9 million for the same quarter last year.

Depreciation and amortisation were NOK 1.0 million for the second quarter, compared to NOK 0.2 million for the second quarter last year.

Financial gain was NOK 1.5 million, compared to NOK 0.2 million in the same quarter last year. The financial gain primarily reflects an unrealised foreign exchange gain on outstanding EUR/NOK forward contracts.

Vistin Pharma had an income tax expense of NOK 3.3 million in the second quarter, compared to NOK 0.8 million in the second quarter last year.

Net profit for the quarter was NOK 9.8 million, equal to earnings per share of NOK 0.58.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter was positive NOK 0.5 million. A net profit before tax of NOK 13.1 million for the quarter was offset by an increase in working capital, primarily as a result of larges sales during the second half of the quarter, and a tax payment of NOK 2.5 million. Net cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter last year was positive NOK 4.2 million.

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 11.9 million, after a dividend payment of NOK 10.2 million (NOK 0.60 per share), compared to an increase of NOK 43.6 million for the same quarter last year. In the second quarter last year the company carried out a share issue of NOK 170.5 million, of which NOK 120 million were used to acquire the B2B business and tablet production assets from Weifa AS.

Financial position

Vistin Pharma had total assets of NOK 260.0 million as of 30 June 2016. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 55.7 million. The figures at 30 June 2015 were NOK 221.4 million and NOK 44.6 million, respectively.

Total equity at 30 June 2016 was NOK 190.1 million, compared to NOK 167.0 million at 30 June 2015. This corresponds to an equity ratio of 73.1 percent (75.4 percent).

Vistin Pharma had no interest-bearing debt as of 30 June 2016.

On May 24 May the annual general meeting approved a dividend for 2015 of NOK 0.60 per share. The total dividend of NOK 10.2 million was paid in June, and distributed as a repayment of paid-in capital.

Operational review

Vistin Pharma's operations are divided into the following two segments: B2B (production and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients) and CMO (contract manufacturing of finished dose tablets). The B2B segment has two major product groups; Metformin and Opioids. The CMO segment started operations on 1 June 2015 and has no comparable figures for periods prior to that. The segment currently only consists of the CMO agreement with Weifa AS. The operations in the B2B segment represent a continuation of activities previously carried out and reported in Weifa ASA. Since Vistin Pharma acquired this business on 1 June 2015, pro-form historical figures have been included for periods prior to that date to provide a better understanding of operational developments. However, these figures are based on data from Weifa ASA and reflect a different corporate structure and cost base, which means they are not directly comparable.

B2B

Vistin Pharma is a recognised supplier of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and finished dosage forms (FDFs) to the global pharmaceutical industry. The B2B offering is based on two key product areas: metformin and opioids. Metformin is an API used in firstline treatment of type 2 diabetes. Opioids are used in pain treatment as well as in cough suppressants. The APIs are produced at Vistin Pharma's two manufacturing plants in Kragerø (Fikkjebakke and Gruveveien) in southern Norway. Vistin Pharma's B2B customers are international pharmaceutical companies.

Total revenue for the B2B segment in the second quarter was NOK 78.9 million, compared to NOK 67.5 million in the same quarter last year (reported as part of Weifa prior to 1 June 2015).

The increase in revenue for the quarter is mainly explained by a continued strong demand for metformin from new and existing customers, as well as favourable exchange rates. Volumes and prices in USD for opioids API were down, but were compensated for by increased sale of codeine tablets and a stronger USD vs. NOK compared to last year. There is still a tough price pressure and fierce competition in the global market for opioid products, which will continue to have a negative impact on opioid sales in 2016.

Significant fluctuations are typically experienced in B2B sales volumes during the year. However, underlying growth in the B2B segment is strong.

In order to improve business profitability, Vistin Pharma continuously seeks to achieve operational excellence, in part through capacity, quality and cost improvement programs. In addition, it focuses on business development and strategic partnership opportunities to continue growing the business.

Metformin

Revenue from metformin was 54.4 million for the quarter. This is 23.1 per cent higher than the second quarter 2015, primarily as a result of higher sales volumes and a favourable EUR vs. NOK exchange rate. Sales volume for metformin HCl and DC for the second quarter 2016 was 16.5 percent higher than in the second quarter last year

The quarterly revenue from the metformin business was another all-time high, approximately 15 per cent higher than the previous quarter. Vistin Pharma has sales contracts covering approximately 100 percent of its metformin production capacity in 2016. However, lower revenue is expected in H2 compared to H1 due to seasonality effects and different product mix.

In the first quarter, Vistin Pharma reported that the Company had experienced some incidents where the n-butanol level in selected cartons had been found to be too high. During the second quarter the Company has put in place an extended testing regime, and corrective measures have been implemented to ensure that the n-butanol level is within the specified levels for the product produced. The Fikkjebakke plant is now running at full capacity, producing stable and high quality metformin HCl.

Vistin Pharma continues to find that the quality of its metformin products, its service and delivery performance are competitive advantages and drivers for increased sales, and the Group is experiencing a strong underlying growth. Key drivers are continued volume growth from existing multinational customers and successful market expansion in Japan.

Vistin Pharma provides some of the purest and most free-flowing metformin qualities. A freeflowing product is easier to process into tablets than an API which has hardened. The Group's plant at Fikkjebakke is dedicated to manufacturing metformin. It is approved among several international regulatory bodies, by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Vistin Pharma is currently the only European company with a listed metformin Drug Master File (DMF) in the USA, another premium market, which is the focus of Vistin Pharma.

Vistin Pharma's metformin strategy is to become the dominant supplier of metformin API to customers in the premium product segments.

According to Vistin Pharma's estimates, the Group currently controls about eight percent of the global metformin market with its annual manufacturing capacity of 3,000 metric tonnes.

To secure the necessary production capacity to meet the expected future long-term demand for metformin HCl, both from existing and new customers, the Board has decided to increase the production capacity at the Fikkjebakke site by 3,000 metric tonnes.

The Group has completed a feasibility study concluding that the expansion is both technical feasible and financial sound.

This capacity increase will require an investment of approx. NOK 120 million, which will be financed through existing cash reserves, cash generation and debt. The new production line is expected to be fully operational from 2019.

In parallel, the Company is working on stretching the current capacity by approximately 500 MT (+16-17 percent capacity increase) through an efficiency program, to ensure that Vistin Pharma can meet the expected increase in demand in the short-term.

With the new production capacity, the Company is targeting a share of approx. 15 percent of the global Metformin API market.

Opioids

Opioids revenue for the second quarter was NOK 24.3 million, compared to NOK 23.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. Total volume sold in the second quarter was in line with the volume sold in the second quarter last year, but prices for API sold were down by approximately 10 percent, which were more than off-set by a higher portion of codeine tablets sold. Revenue from the sale of codeine tablets constituted approximately 42 percent of the opioid revenue for the second quarter 2016, compared to approximately 34 percent in the same quarter last year. The Company's efforts to forward integrate in the opioids value chain are continuing to show positive effects.

There is still a considerable price pressure and supply – demand instability in the opioid market, as reported in previous quarters, resulting in lower API prices compared to last year.

The plant in Gruveveien manufactures opioid APIs, as well as finished dose tablets. Vistin Pharma serves the global market for opioid APIs with two key products; codeine (used in strong painkillers and cough medicine) and pholcodine (used in cough medicine). It also produces finished dose painkiller combination tablets such as Paralgin forte (paracetamol plus codeine) for Weifa and several codeine and codeine combination products for a B2B customer.

According to management estimates, Vistin Pharma has a global share of about seven percent of the codeine API market. About half of the global market is defined as closed markets with import restriction, which Vistin Pharma is currently unable to enter. These include among others USA, South Africa, France and Spain.

CMO

The CMO tablet manufacturing business produces finished products at the Gruveveien multipurpose tablet facility based on a long term supply agreement with Weifa. Vistin Pharma has a five-year agreement with Weifa AS for the manufacture of its key pain relief brands, such as Paracet, Ibux and Paralgin forte. This currently represents the Group's main CMO activity.

CMO tablet manufacturing was not established as a separate business area until 1 June 2015. However, the Vistin Pharma organisation has produced finished dose tablets for Weifa and other external customers for many years, when it was part of Weifa. The Group is therefore an experienced CMO. Revenue for this segment was NOK 30.8 million for the second quarter,

Market developments

B2B

Metformin tablets are the most widely prescribed diabetes medication in the world. The majority (approx. 90 percent) of people with diabetes is affected by Type 2 Diabetes (hereinafter T2D). T2D usually occurs in adults, but is increasingly seen in children and adolescents. This growth in T2D is associated with ageing populations, economic development, increasing urbanisation, less healthy diets and reduced physical activity. In T2D, the body is able to produce insulin but becomes resistant so that the insulin is ineffective. Over time, insulin levels may subsequently become insufficient. Both the insulin resistance and deficiency lead to high blood glucose levels. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), more than 387 million people are estimated to be living with this condition today. The number is expected to increase to 592 million by 2035. and the corresponding EBITDA was NOK 0.2 million. The revenue and the EBITDA for the previous quarter were NOK 30.4 million and NOK 2.8 million respectively. The service level for the second quarter was 99 percent (customer orders delivered on time and in full).

The reduction in EBITDA is primarily due to higher manufacturing costs as a result of investments in operational excellence activities, which should improve the production capacity and competiveness of the CMO operations in the long-term. The Company has a strong focus on future cost reductions in a competitive market.

Based on the current production level the annual production capacity is estimated to be approximately 750 million tablets, which is an increase of approximately 15 percent compared to last year. Vistin Pharma's target is to increase the current capacity by another 50 percent through an ongoing operational excellence program, which was initiated in 2015. The additional capacity is targeted to be filled through increased volume from existing and new CMO customers.

Metformin is the preferred first line treatment for T2D patients, due to it having limited side effects, having a long-term safety profile and it being an affordable treatment alternative. Metformin is expected to maintain its position as the Gold Standard treatment in the foreseeable future (GlobalData, 2016). The market is expected to grow by seven to eight percent per annum for many years to come. Global diabetes healthcare costs amounted to USD 612 billion in 2014, representing 11percent of total healthcare costs worldwide in 2014. These costs are projected to exceed USD 627 billion by 2035. Closed to 5 million people died from diabetes last year.

The Metformin's global finished product sales is estimated to increase from USD 2.9 billion USD in 2015 to around USD 4.3 billion in 2025. The significant growth driver is an increasing T2D prevalence.

The market is highly competitive, with manufacturers mainly from India and China, and approximately 65 percent of the global metformin volume is currently produced in India. Many producers of metformin are operating multipurpose facilities, and there is an underlying unused capacity among the metformin producers that can absorb the growing demand for metformin. Vistin Pharma is focusing on customers in the "protected application" and "large account professional generics" market segments, and finds that customers in Europe, Japan and other developed economies value suppliers with short lead times, high quality products, agile operations and regularity of supply.

The global opioid sector is a protected market, tightly controlled by the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB). Several major markets are also subject to import quotas. Growth in the use of opioids is stable worldwide and demand, measured by defined daily doses, has increased more than threefold over 20 years (corresponding to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5 percent). The main industry drivers are longer life expectancies – increasing incidence of chronic diseases, increased worldwide access to pain relief treatments, from moderate to severe grade and new product releases of narcotic derivatives for nonpain treatment such as obesity, alcoholism, constipation and antitumoral. Emerging countries represent the biggest expansion potential, as rising wealth drives demand for pain medication. According to WHO report 2015, only one quarter of the world's population has access to pain relief treatments China and India are expected to be the fastest growing opioids markets by 2020. According to INCB, global consumption of opioids for pain relief is unevenly distributed with the US, Western Europe and Oceania, representing only 17 percent of the global population, consuming 92 percent of the volume. Global manufacturing of codeine API has grown by about 6.4 percent annually to more than 400MT. About 70 percent of the volume is consumed as codeine, while roughly 20 percent is used to make other APIs.

According to the INCB, the global production of opiate raw materials rich in morphine exceeded global demand in 2015, resulting in high inventory levels. For 2016, producing countries have indicated that they plan to increase production, which is expected to increase inventory levels further, and thus could put additional downward pressure on opiate prices.

European opioid API suppliers are few in number. Vistin Pharma's main competitors have access to their own raw materials, and a small number of raw material producers control most of the global supply. Vistin Pharma is the largest independent company with both inhouse API and tablet manufacturing capabilities and competencies (forward integrated).

CMO

Vistin Pharma will seek to increase tablet manufacturing volumes, acting as an independent supplier of generic FDFs to the global generic and proprietary pharmaceutical industry by establishing itself as an FDF contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) strategic partner. According to Mordor Intelligence LLP (Global Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Market), the global CMO market is estimated at USD 41 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10 – 11 percent by 2017. Key growth drivers are; outsourcing by companies that do not see supply chain as a core business area, margin pressure in both the innovative and generic pharma market, and pharma industry consolidation leading to post-merger cost saving initiatives.

The Group's focus on maintaining operational excellence to make the supply chain costcompetitive, expand product offerings, and grow volumes and customer base in order to capture additional economies of scale, continues.

Risks and uncertainties

Vistin Pharma is exposed, as a pharmaceutical manufacturing company, to several types of risks, where fluctuations in the price and availability of raw materials and the development in foreign exchange (USD and EUR) are among the most prominent. Risk management is therefore a priority area for the Group. The EUR currency exposure (cash inflow) for 2016 has been hedged at an average rate of EUR/NOK 9.45.

In addition, risk related to regulatory changes and environmental issues concerning emission levels and emission permits represent central risk factors for the Group.

The Group has currently only one customer, Weifa, in the CMO segment, and any material reduction in the sales of Weifa products produced by Vistin Pharma will have a negative impact on the financial results of the CMO segment.

For further information, please refer to the Annual Report for 2015, available on the Group's website www.vistin.com.

Outlook

The metformin business is experiencing growing demand owing to the overall market developments, with a strong underlying growth for metformin globally, and as a result of Vistin Pharma's position as a premium supplier. Vistin Pharma expects this trend to continue in the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company has decided to increase the current production capacity by another 3,000MT, a doubling from the current capacity. The expansion will be financed through existing cash reserves, cash generation and debt.

Long-term drivers for the opioid market indicate an attractive future growth potential. In the short-term, however, the price pressure

and instability in demand and supply in the global opioid market will affect prices and volumes for Vistin Pharma. This will be partly offset by strategic long-term narcotic raw material supply agreement and business partnership with raw-material producer, securing raw-materials at competitive prices.

The CMO business continues to perform according to plan, and Vistin Pharma foresees a stable profitable performance. However, the Company has initiated an operational excellence program with a strong focus on future cost reductions, to significantly grow the tablet volume in a competitive global market.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statement

1. Basis of presentation

The financial information is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" ("IAS 34"). This financial information should be read together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The presentation of the Interim Financial Statements is consistent with the Annual Financial Statements. The figures are unaudited.

The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Interim Financial Statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best judgment at the date of the Interim Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change.
