CEO Comments
A leader in providing new innovative treatment solutions for patients suffering from opioid dependence
“I am pleased to report ZUBSOLV® demand fully stabilized versus Q1, contributing to an improved development for our main business, US Pharma. Comparing to last year US Pharma net revenues increased by 11 percent driven by a strong USD and a favorable payer mix, offsetting a negative development in ZUBSOLV® demand. With a significant exposure to the US dollar also in our expenses, I am particularly pleased to see a continued improved EBITDA compared to last year, which supports an increase in our cash position of 30 million. The financial development should be seen in the light of our continued investment in future growth drivers, in particular the finalizing of OX124, our opioid overdose rescue medication, for registration in the US later this year. Additionally, we are launching and in parallel running a large clinical trial for MODIA®, our digital therapy for opioid use disorder (OUD), also in the US. These investments are all important elements in a comprehensive solution to improve access to treatment and outcome for patients suffering from OUD.”
