CEO Comments – Nikolaj Sørensen

Aiming at profitability

“Returning to profitability is a prime objective for Orexo and today’s financial environment accentuates the need to secure our ability to finance investments in future growth drivers with contributions from our commercial assets and R&D partnerships based on our pipeline and the amorphOX® platform. As a first step we have set a key objective for 2022 to become profitable on an EBITDA level, when removing non-repeating external expenses. We have defined these as external expenses related to clinical studies and legal processes. In the third quarter these expenses exceeded SEK 45 million and the EBITDA result was minus SEK 32 million. This makes me comfortable that we have EBITDA profitability in sight.”
