Comments from the CEO
"Our collaboration with Novartis marks an exciting new chapter for BioArctic"

Our journey into a new era and the work to meet our long-term ambitions continues, with several important milestones reached during the quarter. The progress made underscores our strong commitment to delivering innovative solutions that truly make a difference to patients' lives. Leqembi is becoming more and more established as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, we have expanded our collaborations to include Novartis, and our pipeline continues to progress and has been broadened with new projects.

Leqembi sales continue to show good underlying growth globally of around 14 percent quarter on quarter, adjusted for the stocking effect seen in China in the second quarter. So far this year we have received royalties of SEK 376 M compared to SEK 134 M the first nine months of 2024, an increase of over 180 percent. The global reach of Leqembi has also continued to expand and the drug is now approved in over 50 countries, with Australia, Canada and India added since the last quarterly report. This accomplishment not only highlights the robustness of the data but also reinforces the critical need for treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

In September, we also saw regulatory approval for monthly intravenous maintenance treatment in China, the fifth market where this dosing regimen is now approved. Eisai has submitted applications in five more countries and regions, which is an important step as this alternative simplifies treatment and expands accessibility for patients and physicians. Maintenance dosing for this chronic and deadly disease is very crucial, and we were therefore happy to see the US approval of Leqembi Iqlik weekly maintenance dosing in August, i.e. subcutaneous administration via an autoinjector, and the subsequent launch in October. Just days after this approval, Eisai also initiated a rolling submission for subcutaneous autoinjector initiation dosing under Fast Track status, which we hope will be approved during next year. Subcutaneous dosing brings additional treatment options for physicians and patients and has the potential to help us help many more patients.

In the EU, we celebrated Eisai's first launches in Austria and Germany, and after the quarter ended, also recorded the first patient on treatment in Finland at a private clinic. Finland is of strategic importance to us, as it is the first market where we are co-promoting Leqembi with Eisai. I am very happy that we are now able to start helping people diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease also in the Nordic countries from where this invention once originated.

I remain impressed with the ambitious development pro-gram Eisai is driving for Leqembi. We continue to see impressive data presented at different congresses, including long-term data from the phase 3 open-label extension study, as well as real world evidence from around the world.

Our new collaboration with Novartis, where we combine our proprietary BrainTransporter technology with an undisclosed target in neurodegeneration, marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for BioArctic. BioArctic's technology is at the forefront of the industry and the future development opportunities are substantial. We continue to make significant investments in the platform and the interest from partners from different therapy areas is considerable.

Our pipeline is also advancing; the Exidavnemab phase 2a study is progressing well, and we are expecting results after the summer 2026. In the meantime, we are preparing for Phase 2b. Several other early projects have also taken important steps, e.g. alpha-synuclein with BrainTransporter, TDP-43 as well as GCase with BrainTransporter, and we are getting closer to selecting the final drug candidates. In addition, we have embarked on an exciting new scientific journey within Huntington's disease. Currently, there are no available disease modifying treatments for patients with this devastating disease, only treatments to reduce or prevent symptoms.

BioArctic's project will utilize the BrainTransporter technology, and evaluate different potential treatment modalities, to target the Huntingtin protein. It represents a proactive step into addressing another complex neurodegenerative challenge and will open up for new modalities for the BrainTransporter technology. The learnings drawn from this project can also be used both in potential future partnerships and internal projects. Although it is early days, we have great hopes for what we will be able to deliver in this area in the years to come.

I remain deeply grateful to our dedicated teams, trusted partners, and supportive investors for their ongoing commitment. Every achievement reaffirms our drive to provide transformative therapies and improve the lives of patients worldwide.

Thank you for your continued confidence in BioArctic.
