Making progress

"The primary value drivers for Orexo are our ability to maintain our solid financial position, based on strong profit contributions from ZUBSOLV®, establishing a new profitable business segment in digital therapeutics and develop new pharmaceuticals. I am pleased to report we have made good progress in all of these areas in the first quarter.
