Q2
FIRST PAGE CEO'S LETTER PRODUCT CANDIDATE PORTFOLIO
OVERVIEW SHAREHOLDERS INFORMATION
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
During Q2 we were pleased by the accelerated sales growth of Ximluci® and to have successfully upscaled the production processes for both XdivaneTM and XB003 with confirmed analytical similarity, which paves the way for out-licensing and taking the step into clinical development.
As of July, Ximluci® had been launched in 18 European countries. In Q2 2024, the market share value well exceeded 1 percent1 of the ranibizumab market worth around EUR 300 m2 . We also saw a strong growth in revenue during Q2, close to 40 percent compared to Q1 2024. This was higher than expected compared to our new revised sales estimate and resulted in a greater than expected profit share for Xbrane, mainly driven by a favorable market mix. Overall, we generated revenues of SEK 52 m during Q2 2024, also including Xbranes share of the upfront from Valorum. The work towards re-submitting the BLA to FDA is progressing according to plan with re-submission envisioned in Q4 2024.
Xbrane made significant progress with XB003 during Q2. The production process has been successfully upscaled together with Xbranes selected contract manufacturer with confirmed analytical similarity to the reference product. However, unexpectedly, the licensing agreement with Biogen Inc. was terminated due to a strategic revision by Biogen and Xbrane regained the full rights to the program. This was an unforeseen event, which will significantly impact the company´s expected income over the coming 6–12 months. Xbrane immediately initiated an out-licensing process of the biosimilar candidate with an accelerated timeline. Currently a handful of interested companies are conducting active due diligence alongside discussions on terms for a potential partnership. The out-licensing process is running according to a strict established timeline with an envisioned license agreement, which has to be signed by the end of October 2024 at the latest. The program is ready to initiate clinical trials in 2025.
Xbrane also made significant progress with the XdivaneTM program during Q2. The production process was successfully upscaled together with Xbranes selected contract manufacturer with confirmed analytical similarity to the reference product. Based on this, Xbrane received positive feedback in a Scientific Advice meeting with the EMA where the agency endorsed the analytical similarity shown and agreed to the proposed reduced clinical development plan. Out-licensing efforts for XdivaneTM are now focused outside the US territories with reduced clinical development plan as agreed with the EMA. The focus territory is expected to represent USD 5 b of reference product sales upon patent expiry, and hence a meaningful opportunity. Following the positive news from the EMA we recognized an increased interest from potential partners and we are working on a plan to conclude an out-licensing agreement by the end of October.
Xbrane had a cash-position of SEK 73 m at the end of Q2. A positive operating cash flow is expected to be achieved, assuming FDA approval of Ximluci® (Lucentis® biosimilar candidate) in Q2 2025. Given the delay in the FDAs approval for Ximluci® and the unforeseen termination of the licensing agreement with Biogen, Xbrane must successfully out-license both Xdivane™ and XB003 in the coming months. It is essential that the company can maintain the

timelines of the out licensing to ensure financing of the company from November and onwards. The company's Board of Directors and senior management believe this is feasible given the level of interest and that multiple stakeholders evaluate the programs. The Board and management are working closely with a highly regarded external biopharma outlicensing consultant to close the out-licensing program in the coming months and to fulfill Xbranes' working capital requirements from November 2024 onwards.
Thank you for your continued support!

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Xbrane has a portfolio of four biosimilar candidates for a range of treatment areas. This includes a number of serious eye diseases, several different types of cancer and, among others, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn's disease.
Ximluci® is a biosimilar candidate to ranibizumab, the original drug Lucentis®, a VEGFa inhibitor used to treat a number of serious eye diseases. Ximluci® addresses a market of around EUR 13 bn1) per year.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved Ximluci® in 2022, for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and visual impairment due to choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in 27 member states in Europe. Ximluci® was launched by Xbrane's partner STADA Arzneimittel AG (STADA) in Europe during Q1 2023, and by the end of the year, Ximluci® was available in eighteen European markets and one market outside of Europe.
Xbrane has received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) in response to Xbrane's application for market approval for
Ximluci® in the US market. Xbrane is aiming to, and planning for, a resubmission of the BLA in Q4 2024. If successful, it would result in a BsUFA date in Q2 2025. It anticipates a standardized review process of six months. STADA is also actively working to take Ximluci® to other regions such as the Middle East, Latin America and Southeast Asia, where the application for market approval has been submitted to various regulatory authorities in these regions. In May, STADA and Xbrane signed a collaboration agreement with Valorum Biologics, which will commercialize Ximluci® in the US.
Ximluci® is approved in Europe in a vial containing the active substance, from which the ophthalmologist extracts the product into a syringe for injection into the eye. Xbrane also plans to launch a prefilled syringe for Ximluci® in Europe in 2025.

OVERVIEW FINANCIAL INFORMATION SHAREHOLDERS INFORMATION
XB003 (formerly BIIB801) is a biosimilar candidate to certolizumab pegol, the original drug Cimzia®, a TNF alpha inhibitor, mainly used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Cimizia® has sales of over EUR 2 bn2) and will lose its patent protection in 2024 in the US and 2025 in Europe.
Xbrane signed a licensing agreement with Biogen Inc. for XB003, in February 2022. In August 2024, it was announced that Biogen had decided to terminate the agreement. Biogen notified Xbrane that the termination relates to a recent strategic review. All rights granted to Biogen under the agreement will be terminated and the full rights to the program will thus revert to Xbrane. XB003 is currently, to Xbrane's knowledge, one of the few, or the only, biosimilar candidate for Cimzia® globally, being developed. The production process for the biosimilar candidate has been upscaled successfully together with Xbrane's selected contract manufacturers. Production of clinical material will take place in 2024, enabling the initiation of a clinical study in 2025. Analytical similarity compared to the reference product has been shown and initial scientific advice from both the EMA and FDA has been obtained. The production process that enables high productivity is patented by Xbrane. Xbrane has started a structured out-licensing process with the aim of finding a new development and commercialization partner as soon as possible. Given the program's unique nature, Xbrane is optimistic about the prospects of closing a deal in an accelerated timeline.
Xdivane™ is a biosimilar candidate to nivolumab, original drug Opdivo®, a PD1 inhibitor for the treatment of various types of cancer. Opdivo® is expected to generate sales of EUR 13 billion1) and lose its patent protection in 2026–2031, depending on the country. Upscaling of Xdivane™, has been successfully completed with contract manufacturers and Xbrane has successfully sought acceptance from regulatory authorities for a reduced clinical development program. Positive feedback regarding this has been received from the EMA on the basis of a high analytical similarity shown against a comprehensive panel of analytical methods compared to the reference product. This will affect the program's
out-licensing timeline, and Xbrane is therefore currently focusing on partnership discussions with companies interested in Europe and other key markets outside the US. Xbrane assesses that the business case of a reduced clinical development plan with a focus outside the USA is positive and where the company is in talks with a number of commercialization partners about outlicensing the product.
Xdarzane™ is a biosimilar candidate to daratumumab, original drug Darzalex®, an antibody that binds to CD38 for the treatment of multiple myeloma (around EUR 9 bn1) in estimated sales). The patent protection for Darzalex® is expected to expire in 2029–2031 depending on the country.
Xdarzane™ is at the preclinical development stage with a focus on developing a cost-effective production process and demonstrating a biochemical similarity to the original drug.

OVERVIEW SHAREHOLDERS INFORMATION
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Xbrane is an innovative company that invests significantly in research and development, which is why strategic patents to protect our technologies and products are essential. A growing patent portfolio strengthens the company's brand. Xbrane's most important regions for the protection of intellectual property rights (IP) are Europe and the US, but applications may also be made in other countries.
The expanding patent portfolio will facilitate the implementation of commercially important initiatives such as licensing and strategic business partnerships or alliances for commercializing biosimilars and biosimilar production platforms.
Xbrane plans to file patent applications that protect a wide range of technologies, from protein production and protein purification to novel formulations of biosimilars.
The most important regions for patents are Europe and the US, but patent applications may also be filed in Canada, China, South Korea, India, Japan and Australia if the company's products and methods are thought to have a market there. Other international patent applications may also be involved.
Xbrane's LEMO™ technology platform is protected by two patents in Europe and the US until 2029. Between 2020 and 2023, these two patents, originally filed in 2009, have been complemented with 16 further patents as well as 59 applications "harvested" from four different development programs.
The Swedish Intellectual Property Office (PRV) granted eight patents in 2021. Of these, three related to DNA constructs for the regulation of protein production and were co-filed with CloneOpt AB. Five of the patents resulted from the development of XdivaneTM and enables a broadening of the technology platform for highyield antibody production in mammalian cells. A large part of the upcoming development of the biosimilar candidate XdarzaneTM based on this platform.
The five Swedish patents were followed up, via an international patent application, with applications in the US, Canada, Europe, India, China, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and Japan in autumn 2022. Patents were granted in Australia and South Korea in Q1 2023 and divisional applications were filed in these two countries before the patents were granted. The patent applications protect new DNA sequences in genes that are introduced into host cells and instruct the cells to express the protein of interest. These DNA sequences have resulted in a significant increase in yield and can also be applied to future biosimilar candidates to be expressed in mammalian cells. In addition, three patent applications were filed in February 2024 to protect Xdivane™ formulations.
A large portion of the rest of the patent applications relate to DNA constructs, host cells and/or methods for producing Ximluci® and XB003.
The patent applications to protect Ximluci® were filed during March–May 2023 together with STADA Arzneimittel AG in thirty-two different countries and regions such as the US, Europe, Canada, China, South Korea, India, Japan and Australia as well as MENA and some Latin American countries. In December 2023, PRV granted three patents in the XB003 program. During Q1 and Q2 2024, another 13 patent applications for XB003 were filed in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea and the US.
The expanding patent portfolio will strengthen Xbrane's brand, protect the company's products and enables more out-licensing of IP in the future.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Group results for April – June 2024
The Group's revenue amounted to SEK 52.0 m (51.1). During Q2, together with STADA, a license agreement was entered into with Valorum Biologics, which resulted in upfront remuneration of SEK 27.2 m. Revenue for product sales of Ximluci® amounted to SEK 21.7 m (37.0). The Group did not deliver additional products to STADA during the first half of the year. Sales to STADA vary over the quarters because they are made in larger individual deliveries. Revenue from product sales during Q2 was made up entirely of a positive effect on profit sharing, due to a positive marketmix. Last year, the Group received income from out-licensing, mainly through the licensing agreement with Biogen Inc. regarding XB003 (previously BIIB801).
The cost of goods sold regarding Ximluci® amounted to SEK 13.4 m (–39.6). The positive effect is mainly due to the company receiving a retroactive adjustment of the price from a contract manufacturer, which gave a net effect of around SEK 13 m. In addition, positive production deviations had a certain effect on the reduced cost in Q2.
Other operating income amounted to SEK 0.8 m (3.2) and consisted of exchange rate gains on operating receivables and liabilities.
Research and development costs amounted to SEK –116.3 m (–87.3). The XB003 program made up about 45 percent of the R&D costs for the quarter, and Xdivane™ and Ximluci® made up about 35 and 19 percent, respectively. During the period, XB003 produced the first scale-up batch. Xdivane™ has produced the first upscaling batches and production of clinical material will follow during the year. Administration costs amounted to SEK –9.3 m (–11.3). The cost reduction is an effect of the savings scheme that was introduced in Q4 2023.
Other operating expenses amounted to SEK –4.3 m (–5.0) and consisted of exchange rate losses on operating receivables and liabilities.
The operating loss was SEK 63.7 m (–88.6). The loss before tax was SEK 70.2 m (–90.6). During Q2, there was no taxable profit and thus no tax expense (0.0). The quarter's loss after tax from continuing operations therefore amounted to SEK 70.2 million (–90.6). The loss for the period amounted to SEK 70.5 m (–91.0). Earnings per share for continuing operations amounted to SEK –0.05 (–0.15) and earnings per share amounted to SEK –0.05 (–0.15).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK –99.5 m (–143.5), of which SEK -0.1 m (-0.3) was from discontinued operations (Primm Pharma). Q2's negative cash flow was driven, among other things, by the production of commercial batches for Ximluci® and upscaling batches for Xdivane™. Cash flow from investment activities amounted to SEK –10.5 m (–0.5) and refers to capitalized costs for Ximluci® attributable to the development of the pre-filled syringe and the work with FDA approval.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK –86.0 m (338.5). During Q2, a repayment of the bond was made amounting to SEK 62.5 m. No further repayments will be made during the year. Issuance costs, primarily remuneration to guarantors of the rights issue, burdened the cash flow with SEK –19.9 m. Amortization of leasing liabilities amounted to SEK –3.5 m (–2.5).
Group results for January – June 2024 The Group's revenue amounted to SEK 66.1 m (112.9). Revenue from product sales of Ximluci® amounted to SEK 35.7 m (84.6). The Group has not delivered any additional products to STADA during the first half of the year. Sales to STADA vary over the year because they are made in larger individual deliveries. The revenue from product sales for the first half of the year consisted entirely of a positive effect on profit sharing, as the margin has improved in line with increased sales volumes as well as a positive market mix. During Q2, together with STADA, a license agreement was entered into with Valorum Biologics, which entailed an upfront payment of SEK 27.2 million. Last year, the Group received licensing revenue of SEK 28.2 million, mainly through the agreement with Biogen Inc. regarding XB003 (previously BIIB801).
The cost of goods sold regarding Ximluci® amounted to SEK 8.6 m (–85.9). The positive effect for cost of goods sold is due to a retroactive adjustment of the raw material price from a contract manufacturer, which gave a net effect of around SEK 13 m. Otherwise, the cost was affected by obsolescence and production deviations.
Other operating income amounted to SEK 6.1 m (7.3) and consisted of exchange rate gains on operating receivables and liabilities.
Research and development costs amounted to SEK –203.9 m (–145.3). For the first half-year, Xdivane™ made up about 42 percent of the R&D costs, and XB003 and Ximluci® made up about 31 and 27 percent, respectively. Xdivane™ is working with upscaling production volumes together with contract manufacturers. Ximluci® has produced validation batches at contract manufacturers for the
pre-filled syringe and XB003 has produced a first upscaled batch. Administration costs amounted to SEK –20.3 m (–23.3). The cost reduction is primarily due to consulting and salary costs, which is an effect of the savings scheme that was introduced in Q4 2023.
Other operating expenses amounted to SEK –5.4 m (–11.6) and consisted of exchange rate losses on operating receivables and liabilities.
The operating loss was SEK148.8 m (–145.9). The loss before tax was SEK 167.3 m (–148.4). During the first half-year, there was no taxable profit and thus no tax cost (0.0). The period's loss after tax from continuing operations therefore amounted to SEK 167.3 m (–148.4). The loss for the period amounted to SEK 167.9 m (–149.4). Earnings per share for continuing operations amounted to SEK –0.18 (–0.25) and earnings per share amounted to SEK –0.18 (–0.25).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK –212.7 m (–200.1), of which SEK –0.3 m (–0.5) came from discontinued operations (Primm Pharma). The period's negative cash flow is due, among other things, to greater tied-up capital in inventory. Furthermore, cash flow was driven by intensified development work with Ximluci® and Xdivane™. The cash flow from investment activities was SEK –11.0 m (–16.4), which is mainly attributable to capitalized development expenses regarding Ximluci®.
Cash flow from financing activities was SEK 230.1 m (336.1). During the first half of the year, a rights issue was carried out, which brought in SEK 299.8 m net after issue costs. A bridging loan of a nominal SEK 50 m was taken out during Q1, which was then repaid in connection with the issue. Also, in connection with the issue, a repayment of the bond was made amounting to SEK 62.5 m. No further repayments of the bond will be made during the year. Amortization of leasing liabilities amounted to SEK –7.2 m (–4.9).
The Group's financial position and continued operations As of the end of June, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 72.8 m (315.6).
The Board and Senior Management are assessing the Companys cash position closely on a regular basis. A positive operating cash flow is expected to be achieved, assuming FDA approval of Ximluci® (Lucentis® biosimilar candidate) in Q2 2025. Given the delay in FDA approval for Ximluci® and the unforeseen termination of the licensing agreement with Biogen, Xbrane must successfully out-license both Xdivane™ and XB003 in the coming months to ensure funding until the expected positive operating cash flow. The company's board and management believe that this should
be feasible as interest in XB003 is high given the unique nature of the program and Xdivane™ is focused on markets outside the US with a reduced clinical program based on positive feedback from the EMA. The timing of when exactly the out-licensing can take place is uncertain, which is why additional financing needs may arise. The company's ability to obtain additional financing depends on a number of factors, including the general situation on the financial markets, the company's creditworthiness and the company's ability to increase its indebtedness. The Board and management deems that the revised plan should be feasible and that the group should thus be able to ensure necessary liquidity for continued operation of the business for at least the next twelve months.
The company's Board and management are fully committed and working hard to achieve this and are also investigating other possible avenues to ensure shareholder value.
Fixed assets amounted to SEK 185.2 m (182.9). Fixed assets consist primarily of capitalized expenditures for Ximluci®, right-of-use assets, and laboratory equipment, machinery, fixtures for office premises and customary monthly depreciation.
Inventory amounted to SEK 214.3 m (95.2), consisting primarily of drug substance, ready to be packaged and then shipped directly to customers. Drug substance has a shelf life of five years, and no impairment is deemed necessary.
Prepaid costs and accrued income amounted to SEK 248.5 m (254.2). Essential items consisted of advance payments for production, SEK 26.8 m (79.6), and advance payments to contract manufacturers for development and upscaling amounting to SEK 129.0 m (149.3). In addition, accrued income amounted to SEK 82.7 m (0.0), which is mainly attributable to product sales of Ximluci®.
The share capital on the balance sheet date was SEK 342.9 m (6.6). Other contributed capital amounted to SEK 1,393.4 m (1,414.1). Total equity amounted to SEK 304.5 m (400.0) and the equity ratio was 36 percent (40). During the year, a rights issue was carried out, which increased equity by SEK 300.2 m net, of which SEK 336.7 million increased the share capital and the remainder was reported under other contributed capital.
Accrued expenses and prepaid income amounted to SEK 267.9 m (300.5), consisting of advance payments from STADA amounting to SEK 121.9 m (153.1), of which SEK 74.8 million (88.5) was attributable to commercialization. In addition, the item was mainly affected by accrued production costs of SEK 8.9 m (42.7) and accrued development costs for projects of SEK 123.1 m (75.0).
in FDA approval for Ximluci® and the unforeseen termination of the licensing agreement with Biogen, Xbrane must successfully out-license both Xdivane™ and XB003 in the coming months. The company's Board and management believe that this is feasible as there is significant interest in XB003 due to the unique nature of the program, and that Xdivane™ is focused on markets outside the US with a reduced clinical program. The latter is based on positive feedback from the EMA. The company's Board and management are fully committed and working hard to achieve this and are also investigating other possible avenues to ensure shareholder value.
The collaboration agreement which began in July 2018 with STADA AG regarding projects for research and development of Ximluci® meant that STADA AG and Xbrane would equally share (50/50) research and development costs attributable to the project. Receivables and liabilities attributable to the project are reported in full in Xbrane's balance sheet with a settlement of 50 percent for STADA AG's share. This applies to both the Group and the parent company.
In connection with the first delivery of Ximluci® in 2023, Xbrane also signed a supply agreement with STADA. The agreement means that Xbrane will provide the product for commercialization to STADA and will be reimbursed in accordance with the actual production cost. In accordance with the agreement, Xbrane also has the option of pre-invoicing STADA for future product deliveries.
On the balance sheet date, Xbrane had accounts receivable from STADA of SEK 15.9 m (0.0), other receivables amounting to SEK 33.2 m (55.0) and accrued costs and prepaid income from STADA amounting to SEK 121.9 m (153.1) of which SEK 74.8 m (88.5) is pre-invoicing of future product deliveries.
Xbrane's intention, in accordance with its previous decision, is to continue to work towards a divestment of the subsidiary Primm Pharma. In the Q1 interim report for 2021, Primm Pharma's assets and liabilities were reclassified to "Assets held for sale" and
"Liabilities attributable to assets held for sale" respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet in the income statement, Primm Pharma's results are reported separately as "Profit/loss from discontinued operations Primm Pharma's share of each business is reported in the cash flow under "Of which from discontinued operations". In December 2023, Xbrane chose to write-down access to its reported net assets, in this case Primm Pharma's equity.
The core business of Xbrane, i.e. the development of biosimilars, is conducted in the parent company. As the parent company forms such a large part of the Group, an account of the parent company's results, financial position and cash flow would not provide any additional information to that described in the report on the Group. Therefore, this is only presented in report format on pages 14–15.
Risks and uncertainty factors are described in the Annual Report 2023 on pages 60–61, available on the company's website, www.xbrane.com. At the time of publication of this interim report, these have not changed significantly.
