Approaching EBITDA in balance H2

"Prevailing in the patent litigation against Sun Pharmaceutical was a positive start to the quarter and strengthened our long-term ability to expand our US Commercial presence and product portfolio. The next product for commercialization in the US, the high-dose rescue medication for opioid overdose, OX124, was filed again with the FDA in September. With approval, we will launch our second pharmaceutical product in the US late 2024 or early 2025. Orexo's treatments of opioid use disorder (OUD) range from maintenance treatment with ZUBSOLV, digital psychosocial support through MODIA and soon, the rescue medication with OX124. I am pleased to announce we reiterate our guidance to reach EBITDA in balance for H2 2023, despite the EBITDA for Q3 coming in at SEK -10 million. The negative result is explained by the SEK 18 million fee paid to the FDA for filing of OX124. In the current financial environment, improving financial results is important, and I am pleased to see we continue to reduce expenses."
