CEO Comments in brief
During the quarter, sales were strongly affected by the weaker US-dollar and also by a non-recurring rebate payment of SEK 9 million related to Zubsolv® US sales from previous years. The decline in sales resulted in a negative EBITDA of SEK -10 million. When adjusted for currency impact and the non-recurring rebate payment, Zubsolv sales increased from the first quarter and EBITDA would have been positive for the period. The forecast for achieving a positive EBITDA for the full year remains unchanged. I am pleased to report we slightly improved our cash position, partly by selling SEK 10 million of the corporate bond to finance the unexpected rebate payment.
As Zubsolv is present on a highly competitive market with slow market growth, future value creation is expected to come from products using our next-generation drug delivery technology AmorphOX®. In the development pipeline, I am pleased to report OX124, our high-dose rescue medication for opioid overdose, is now ready for commercial manufacturing and the tests requested by the FDA can be initiated. The next product based on the AmorphOX platform will be OX640, our product for the treatment of anaphylaxis, and I note the interest in partnering with Orexo for the final development and commercialization of OX640 from both global and regional players.
