CEO's comments

I am pleased to announce 2016 as the first year in the history of Orexo with full year positive earnings. This marks an important milestone for the company in the quest to become a sustainable specialty pharmaceutical company. The company is now standing on a solid financial foundation with five consecutive quarters of positive cash flow from operating activities and we project 2017 will continue with positive cash flow and EBIT on a full year basis.

The main growth driver has been Zubsolv®, with revenue growth of 15.6 percent compared to 2015. This growth was accomplished despite a loss in market share early in the year due to changes in the market access position. Continued improvement in market access for Zubsolv remains a key success factor moving forward. Even though Zubsolv was negatively impacted by some external market events in late 2016, in particular a large health care provider group decided to leave WellCare in December, we are starting 2017 with a better market access position compared to 2016.

Opioid dependency is a problem that continues to grow and therefore it´s encouraging to see that more than 2,600 physicians have been certified to expand their prescriber base up to 275 patients in their treatment programs in the US. About half of these physicians have already started to recruit more patients and we expect many of the remaining physicians to expand their patient base in 2017. Zubsolv is winning a disproportionate share of this market growth and we expect this to continue in 2017.

Another key event during the quarter was the first decision in our litigation against Actavis. Since Actavis has not appealed the validity of the decision on the '996 patent, Zubsolv exclusivity is now secured until at least until September 2019. We have appealed the decision concerning our 330' patent to the federal circuit and expect their decision to come within 12 months. Thus, with the appeal and two additional patents valid until 2032, which are subject to separate court cases, I maintain confident in the long term IP protection of Zubsolv.

We reached profitability in 2016 and now it is essential for us to continue to improve the productivity of our organization to maintain the profitability in 2017 and beyond. To fully leverage the existing commercial infrastructure we aim to add more products to our commercial organization and this will be a key objective for the year. In addition we expect a substantial improvement with regard to the cost of goods of Zubsolv with gradual impact starting in 2018. In our development team we aim at advancing some of our early R&D projects into a concrete innovative product pipeline. My colleagues and I are looking forward to 2017 as a year with many opportunities to further strengthen Orexo.

Nikolaj Sørensen
CEO and President
