Quarterly overview Oasmia reported an operating loss of SEK 22.4m in its Q2 report compared with a loss of SEK 35.9m for the same period last year. The main news item was clarification on the latest clock stop of the EMA (European Medicines Agency) process for Apealea, which was related to a question from the assessor regarding a previous PK study. Management does not view it as an obstacle for the registration process and believes it will strengthen a later US application. Assuming that the company submits a response in the near term, we expect a decision from the EMA within the next few months, likely before the end of March. Sales have also started in Russia and Oasmia shipped its first order in November. Furthermore, preparations are in place for a potential IPO of the veterinary assets during the first half of 2018. The company reported a lower operating loss y/y

Lower research and personnel costs

New convertible loans of SEK 28m were issued after the end of the fiscal period

Oasmia is working intensively on ensuring that batches can be shipped on a continuous basis

Potential ph III study in first- and second-line treatment of breast cancer to start in 2018

Net sales were SEK 1.7m in Q2 (covering the period between 1 August and 31 October), owing to income related to the distribution rights in Russia. The company reported an operating loss of SEK 22.1m compared with a loss of SEK 35.9m in the same period last year.

The improved result is largely driven by lower external expenses, due to less clinical research. Personnel costs were also down, as a result of the company’s earlier restructuring programme. To further reduce costs, the board of directors has also decided to delist the company’s share from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Oasmia had 58 employees at the end of the Q2 compared with 77 in the same period last year.

After the end of the fiscal period, the company announced an issue of SEK 28m in convertible loans to partially replace already repaid debt. The term of the new loan is one year maturity (30 November, 2018) with 8% annual interest and conversion price of SEK 3.10 per share. The proceeds from the convertible debt instruments will be paid for at the beginning of December, ie in Q3.

At the end of Q2, Oasmia had SEK 68.8m in cash on hand. In terms of near-term maturities, Oasmia has outstanding convertible debt of SEK 26m that matures on 18 April 2018. In addition, the SEK 102.4m loan from Nexttobe was extended during the quarter and now matures on 30 May 2018.

Business activities Oasmia received its first order in Russia during the quarter from its new partner, Hetero Group, which was shipped during November. The shipment has already been sold to hospital districts prior to delivery. The company is working on ensuring that batches can be delivered on a continuous basis to its partner.

Its second approved product, Doxophos, is awaiting official pricing from the authorities and could soon be an additional earnings contributor. The product is approved for all indications that use the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), Doxorubicin.

Another interesting news item was that Oasmia, in collaboration with Hetero, plans to initiate a clinical ph III study with Paclical in first- and second-line breast cancer during the first half of 2018. We find this reasonable as it could significantly broaden the potential and increase the penetration of the product. Discussions are also ongoing about the possibility of transferring further distribution rights to Hetero, primarily in Latin America, Southeast Asia and India. This could provide some near-term financial relief for Oasmia, prior to potential EU and US approval.

During Q1, the board formalised the decision to spin off its veterinary assets to an American subsidiary in order to provide an ideal environment for its two product candidates, Paccal Vet and Doxophos Vet. Its ambition is to secure external financing to enable further development and commercialisation of its key products in the US, which is the largest veterinary market. Oasmia states that the work is progressing well and the

Ambition to list veterinary assets in H1 2018

More visibility on latest clock stop in the registration process for Apealea

We expect a decision on Apealea in the coming months

Estimate changes to reflect delayed regulatory decision

Several key triggers in the next six months

company has been renamed AdvaVet Inc and is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market during H1 2018.

Update on the EMA’s decision on Apealea The Q2 report also provided some more insights to the delayed registration process for Apealea (Paclical) at EMA. In September, Oasmia requested a clock stop to have more time to respond to the “day 180 list of outstanding issues” ‒ areas where the assessor needs clarification, ie about research design, manufacturing, labelling, etc. It is very common to receive questions from the regulator at this stage, since this is the last regulatory hurdle before an opinion from the committee. In response to a question from the assessor, Oasmia is compiling a supplementary analysis of data from an older PK study, meaning that the questions do not concerning the pivotal ph III study. Oasmia states that it intends to submit the results as soon as possible. As the clock stop was granted in September, we expect a decision before the end of March.

The CHMP (Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use) meets once a month and its next meeting is scheduled for some time during 11-14 December, followed by meetings on 22-25 January, 19-22 February and 19-22 March in 2018.

We argue that the decision process for Apealea is a key event, as an unfavourable decision would question the validity of the remaining pipeline in human health (due to the use of the same drug delivery technology), although it does not necessarily imply a negative outcome for its other product candidates. A positive decision would validate the technology and allow for potential partner discussions in the EU and later in the US.

Estimate changes We make some adjustments to our near-term estimates to reflect a delayed decision and sales uptake for Paclical in the EU and the US, while our long-term assumptions are mainly unchanged.

Over the next six months, we expect to get more clarification on sales uptake in Russia, the spin-off of the veterinary assets, and, most importantly, a decision from the EMA on the potential market approval of Paclical in Europe. These events could trigger positive or negative estimate revisions, depending on the outcome.

Factors to consider when investing in Oasmia Pharmaceuticals An investment in Oasmia offers exposure to a pharmaceutical development company focused on developing next-generation formulations of well-established cytostatic drugs within human and veterinary oncology. Its product pipeline is built on patented drug delivery technology XR-17, which utilises nanotechnology to improve water solubility without the use of any toxic solvents. In total, the company has five product candidates within human health and two products within veterinary health. Paclical, its lead asset, based on the well-known cytostatic drug paclitaxel in combination with XR-17, has completed ph III and is awaiting response to its marketing approval application to the European Medicines Agency. We have identified a number of key themes describing the investment case in Oasmia

XR-17 enhances APIs by creating micelles

No need for toxic solvents

We consider the following factors to be key when evaluating an investment in Oasmia:

• A proprietary drug delivery technology that utilises nanotechnology to enhance formulations and improve water solubility without the use of any toxic solvents

• Focus on optimising formulations of already established chemotherapy drugs, with well-known efficacy profiles and extensive patient history, instead of new novel treatments

• Late-stage assets in human health, with potential to penetrate major product markets across several indications

• Veterinary products offer additional opportunities outside human oncology.

Key risk factors:

• Oasmia is still in development phase and the current cash flows being generated are not enough to support its current operations in the near term

• Dependency on regulatory approvals and successful commercialisation of its product candidates

• The market for pharmaceutical products is highly competitive and we find it likely that the products and product candidates will face multiple competitors, including companies with extensive resources and established sales networks

• Operations in Oasmia have so far been limited to early-stage development activities, while the lack of commercial experience makes it difficult to accurately predict its future prospects. A full description of the main risk factors we find relevant for Oasmia is provided on page 19.

Technology platform with broad applications Oasmia’s product pipeline is based on a platform called XR-17, which is a nanoparticle drug delivery system that facilitates the creation of optimised formulations. The technology enhances pharmaceutical substances by creating micelles that encapsulate the API and improve its water solubility without the use of any toxic solvents.

This approach has broad applications and could potentially be applied across a wide array of different APIs. Another interesting characteristic is that it allows the dual encapsulation of both water-soluble and insoluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in one nanoparticle formulation, which is the basic idea behind product candidate OAS-19.

As many efficient chemotherapy drugs are poorly soluble in water, solvents are commonly used to deliver the substance to the body. These solvents can be highly toxic and require premedication to prevent severe side effects. In many cases this can limit the

Oasmia Pharmaceuticals 4 December 2017

maximum dosage that can be administered, resulting in a lower efficacy of the drug. As XR-17 is non-toxic, it could allow higher dosage than with establish treatments, shorten infusion time and limit the time spent at the hospital.

Focus on well-established compounds

Efficacy and side-effect profile are well-known

Next-generation formulations of established drugs Oasmia’s main focus is on developing improved formulations of already established chemotherapy substances with well-known efficacy and extensive patient history. One example is the anti-cancer molecule paclitaxel, the substance used in Oasmia’s lead asset Paclical, which was discovered more than 50 years ago and remains one of the “workhorses” in chemotherapy treatment.

As such, the company does not need prove the actual mechanism of molecule, which means quicker advancement and potentially lower clinical costs than with new novel treatments. And although chemotherapy often comes with severe side effects, we find it likely that it will still be one of the standard treatment regimens for the foreseeable future, due to its efficacy, especially when the cancer has spread. Another aspect that potentially could be favourable for chemotherapy is the relative price point, as new and more advanced treatments are likely to be more expensive.

Pending market approval application in the EU for its product candidate Paclical

Late-stage assets with potential to penetrate major product markets Oasmia has five product candidates within human oncology, a market where consensus estimates global product sales of USD 112bn across all indications. Its latest-stage asset is Paclical, a next-generation formulation of established chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. Oasmia has completed a ph III trial for the product candidate and is awaiting a response to the market approval application in Europe in ovarian cancer. Upon potential approval, the company intends to file for market authorisation in the US and later expand into other cancer indications treated with paclitaxel.

Celgene reported sales of USD 973m for Abraxane in 2016

Pipeline consists of further late-stage assets

The two leading paclitaxel products are Taxol (generic) and Abraxane. Taxol reached peak sales of almost USD 1.6bn in 2000 before patent expiration, while Abraxane was launched by Abraxis in 2005 and later acquired by Celgene for an upfront consideration of USD 2.9bn plus additional milestone payments. Celgene reported total product sales of USD 973m for Abraxane in 2016 (excluding Japan).

Oasmia also has another product candidate called Docecal, which is based on docetaxel in combination with XR-17. The product candidate is currently ongoing a clinical ph I trial and safety and tolerability study. Docetaxel is the active substance in Taxotere, a

Two products specifically designed for animal applications

Increased focus on veterinary assets after recent strategic changes

Veterinary products offer opportunities beyond human health Oasmia also has two product candidates specifically engineered for veterinary indications, an underlying market experiencing structural growth thanks to increased spending among pet owners. In the US alone, there are about 89.7 million domestic dogs according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), and canine cancer rates are about the same as for humans. Oasmia’s Paccal Vet product covers some of the most common cancers in dogs, including mammary carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and mast cell tumours. In addition, the company’s second veterinary product candidate, Doxophos Vet, is in the final phase of clinical trials before conditional approval for lymphoma, the most common cancer among dogs.

To further increase focus on the veterinary products, the board has decided to spin off all assets to a US subsidiary, including all rights for Paccal Vet and Doxophos Vet.

In conjunction with this decision, Oasmia has decided to withdraw its conditional approval to change the treatment regime with a lower dosage. Its intention is to improve the safety profile by reducing side effects and improving the life quality of the pets. Another potential benefit is that the product could be available to more veterinarians. Previously, the product was mainly available across the few hundred specialised veterinary oncologists; with the new profile it could potentially be available to the larger community of general veterinary practitioners. Oasmia intends to conduct a new minor study to change the present dosing.

A full description of the risk factors we find most relevant is provided on page 19

Risk factors As Oasmia is still in a development phase, cash flows from current operations might not be enough to support its planned activities in the near term. The company has in the past used several different financing sources and believes its prospects of securing additional funds are good. However, if it failed to raise additional funds, it could be difficult for it to continue as a going concern. In terms of near-term debt maturities, the company has a SEK 102m loan from Nexttobe AB maturing on 30 May 2018.

Another key risk is that Oasmia is dependent on regulatory approvals and clinical trials for its product candidates to reach commercial success. These are “all-or-nothing” processes in the sense that a negative outcome would imply limited earnings potential. In particular, the upcoming EMA decision for Paclical will be important, as an unfavourable decision would question the validity of the remaining pipeline in human health (due to the use of the same drug delivery technology), although it does not necessarily imply a negative outcome for its other product candidates.

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and Oasmia is likely to face multiple competitors, some with superior resources. Apart from the established treatments, Oasmia might also face competition from new novel treatments that are currently under development or will be developed in the coming years.

Since inception, Oasmia has focused on early-stage research activities and has not generated any significant revenue apart from milestone payments. Therefore, upon potential approval the commercial success, earnings potential and costs associated with a launch are difficult to forecast. We find it likely that the company will need to add new capabilities to penetrate the market, or undertake a strategic collaboration, and failure to do so could affect the future success. A full description of the main risk factors we find relevant for Oasmia is provided on page 19.

Estimates Our research implies that Oasmia could reach risk-adjusted peak sales of SEK 1,805m in 2027/28E. We base our forecast model on the company’s late-stage assets, including Paclical, Docecal and Doxophos in human health, and Paccal Vet and Doxophos Vet in veterinary health. In 2022/23E we calculate that product sales within human oncology will constitute 77% of group sales, while veterinary oncology products make up the remaining 23%.

Our estimates include the company’s late-stage products in human and veterinary health

We estimate that Paclical could receive EMA approval in 2018

Potential for sales to pick up in Russia in the near term

Our estimates include forecasts for the company’s late-stage product candidates, including Paclical, Docecal and Doxophos in human health and Paccal Vet and Doxophos Vet in veterinary health in the major regions (the US and EU including Russia). Hence, we have not assigned any value or included potential revenue streams from early-stage projects such as OAS-19 and KB9520, as well as potential out-licensing of the XR-17 technology.

Oasmia has indicated that it will either commercialise its products through a targeted sales force, or in collaboration with a strategic partner with an established sales network. Our forecasts are based on a direct sales model, similar to the approach of Abraxis when Abraxane was brought to the market in 2005.

In terms of sales, a strategic partnership involving a specialised oncology sales network would likely yield a higher sales outcome and potentially be value-accretive depending on the terms offered in such a deal. Due to the late stage of the product candidates, a potential deal would likely be back-end loaded with a lower upfront payment and a higher royalty base.

Paclical sales model Below we list the main assumptions behind our sales forecasts for Paclical. We expect that Paclical could receive EMA and FDA approval in 2018 and 2019, respectively. We assign a 70% probability for market authorisation approval in the EU and 65% in the US. Upon a potential approval, we believe that Oasmia intends to expand into other indications treated with taxanes, primarily breast cancer (metastatic), which is reflected in our model. The addressable market for Paclical is defined as metastatic breast cancer patients and epithelial ovarian cancer patients.

We assume that the price point will be in line with Abraxane, which is currently priced at about USD 1,300 per vial (100 mg) in the US. In Europe, the price of Abraxane is about a third of the price in the US. Peak sales are estimated in 2028, although the products could be eligible for patent term expansion.

Oasmia has announced a new strategic partnership with Hetero Group in Russia. We expect this could already result in a sales improvement in the coming quarters. Paclical has also received approval for its pricing and is eligible for reimbursement through the Russian insurance system. Tenders in the Russian hospital system are carried out on a semi-annual or annual basis, depending on the region. In addition, on August 2017 its second product Doxophos received market approval in Russia.

We calculate non-risk adjusted peak sales of USD 165m for Paclical

Based on the assumptions that the company can deliver on our forecasts, we see a potential to reach non-risk-adjusted peak sales of USD 165m for Paclical in 2028E. On a regional basis, we expect that the US will contribute 83% of the sales value, with the EU constituting the remaining 17% in 2023E.

We include Docecal estimates across two different indications

Docecal sales model Oasmia’s second product candidate, Docecal, is a next-generation formulation based on docetaxel, which is a chemotherapy substance used to treat a number of cancer indications. In our forecasts we have only included sales across two different indications: breast cancer (metastatic) and prostate cancer (castor resistant). As the product is still in clinical phase we assign a probability of success of 50% in EU and assume potential market approval by the EMA in 2020 followed by US approval in the subsequent year.

Doxophos was approved in August, 2017

Doxophos sales model Oasmia’s product candidate Doxophos, based on doxorubicin, is used to treat breast cancer, among others. The company filed for market authorisation in December 2015 for the use of Doxophos as a hybrid drug (improved generics) and received approval in August, 2017. Our estimates only reflect the sales potential in Russia, and we do not assign any value for other regions.

Doxophos would potentially improve the cash flow

We see potential that, upon approval, Doxophos will contribute to near-term earnings and improve the cash flow situation for the company before its lead assets reach commercial phase. However, in terms of long-term value the successes of Paclical and Docecal are far more important for the company.

Strategic initiatives to bolster the development of the veterinary pipeline

Veterinary health products Oasmia has recently initiated a strategic overview of its veterinary products and decided to move its asset to a US subsidiary. The company has also withdrawn its FDA approval for Paccal Vet and intends to reintroduce the product with lower dosage, which potentially could give fewer side effects and improved wellbeing for the pets. This could also allow the product to be available on a broader scale to general veterinary practitioners instead of only specialised veterinary oncologists.

Paccal Vet is used to treat squamous cell carcinoma and mastocytoma, which together represent about a third of all skin tumours in dogs. It is also used to treat to mammary carcinoma, a tumour common in female unsprayed dogs.

Doxophos Vet has received MUMS designation from the FDA for treatment of lymphoma, one of the most common cancers among dogs. According to Oasmia, about 200,000 dogs are affected on an annual basis.

In our forecasts, we assume an addressable market for Doxophos Vet of about 200,000 dogs and 175,000 dogs for Paccal Vet across all indications, with 3% annual growth. Furthermore, we set an average price of USD 1,750 and assume 3% price inflation. We assigned a probability of approval of 90% for Paccal Vet and 85% for Doxophos Vet. Our estimates do not include any value from potential sales in other regions, such as Europe.

Our estimates imply risk-adjusted peak sales of SEK 1,805m in 2027/28E

Group estimates Based on our forecasts, we calculate risk-adjusted peak sales of SEK 1,805m yielding an EBIT of SEK 765m in 2027/28E. In our forecasts, human health products constitute 77% of 2022/23E sales, with animal health products representing the remaining 23%. Within human health, Paclical represents 70% of risk-adjusted sales in 2022/23E followed by Docecal (28%) and Doxophos (2%).

Sales in Russia will be key near term earnings drives

In the near term, we expect Doxophos and Paclical sales in Russia to be the key earnings drivers and that the company could be cash flow positive in 2019/20E, once the full pipeline reaches commercial phase. In the long term, Paclical and Docecal sales in Europe and US and veterinary sales will be far more important.

Gross margins assumption of 82%

We forecast SG&A relative to sales of ~38%

Group costs Our main cost assumption is gross margins of 82%, once the company reaches commercial phase, with SG&A representing about 38% of revenue. As Oasmia has incurred substantial net operating losses during its development phase, we expect taxes carried forward to be used to minimise tax payments.

In 2017/18E we forecast other external expenses of SEK 61m compared to SEK 80m in 2016/17, due to completion of the ph III trial for Paclical and cost rationalisation. We expect external costs to increase again in 2019/20E and peak at SEK 97m, when later stage clinical trials are initiated for Docecal.

We also assume that sales and general expenses will increase from SEK 59m to SEK 614m, for the period between 2016/17 and 2027/28E, in order to commercialise its product candidates. In relative terms, this represents a cost CAGR of 24% over the same period.

Balance sheet items We assume a net working capital need of 15% of sales in steady state, once product demand reaches a certain trajectory. In terms of non-current assets, we forecast an unchanged asset composition, meaning that it will continue to exist in the form of mainly intangible assets. Furthermore, according to our assumptions the company could be debt-free in 2021/22E.

Risk factors Below, we list the main risk factors we find relevant for Oasmia Pharmaceutical. The purpose of this is not to provide a comprehensive picture of all the risks that the company may be subject to, but rather to highlight those that we find most relevant. The main risks we have identified relate to the regulatory uncertainty, success in clinical trials, potential competition, the financial position and the limited commercial history of the company.

Oasmia is dependent on the success of its product candidates

Clinical trials are risky and time consuming

Regulatory outcomes are uncertain and differ between regions

Pharmaceutical products are governed by strict regulation

Success of its key product and product candidates Oasmia is dependent on regulatory approvals and the successful commercialisation of its product candidates, and in particular Paclical in the near term. Failure to receive approval for one or several product candidates could affect the prospects of strategic collaborations and funding, and limit future earnings potential. Risk factors affecting commercial and development success include, but are not limited to, completion of preclinical and clinical trials, regulatory and market approvals from the EMA and FDA, protection and maintenance of intellectual property, competition from other treatments and – upon launch – the sales platform.

Clinical trials risky, time consuming and require resources Clinical trials are risky and there are no guarantees that they are successful despite promising results in earlier trials. Even in the case of positive results, there is a risk that regulatory bodies, such as the FDA and EMA, might have another interpretation of the results. Trials are also time consuming, expensive and require certain expertise. It can take it several years to complete a trial, and regulatory bodies may delay or terminate trials at any time.

Continuing regulatory overview Regulatory processes are also uncertain, demanding substantial time and resources from management. In addition, the requirements might differ between different countries and additional studies could be required to obtain approvals. In the case of approval, products will still undergo continual regulatory overviews covering all parts of the manufacturing process, labelling, packing, distribution etc. Failure to comply with current regulations could impose marketing restrictions and recalls, among other things. Another risk is that the current policies may change in the future.

Manufacturing Manufacturing of Oasmia’s product candidates requires compliance with the EMA, FDA and other international standards, such as current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP). If the company fails to meet these standards, this could cause production disruptions, which could delay clinical trials and affect its ability to fulfil demand. Increased requirements in the future could also cause disruptions and lead to increased investments.

In addition, Oasmia is dependent on third-party manufacturers such as Baxter Oncology GmbH, which will be responsible for the production of Paclical and Paccal Vet once demand has reached a certain trajectory. The contract, which was signed in June 2014, is designed as a five-year non-exclusive deal with automatic one-year renewals.

Oasmia faces competition from multiple sources with extensive experience and resources

Products could cause severe side effects

Chemotherapy is expensive and patients depend on reimbursement systems

Oasmia might not have sufficient funds to reach commercial phase

Potential governance risks related to ownership concentration

Competition The market for pharmaceutical products is highly competitive, particularly within oncology. We find it likely that Oasmia will face multiple competitors for its products and product candidates including major pharmaceutical companies (Big Pharma), specialty pharma companies and biotechnology companies. Apart from established treatments, Oasmia might also face competition from new novel treatments currently under development.

Several of the current and potential competitors also have significant advantages in terms of experience, resources and established market positions including, but not limited to, Celgene, Merck & Co, Sanofi S.A., Eli Lilly, Bayer AG, Novartis AG and Boehringer Ingelheim GmBH. In addition, early-stage companies might also prove to be a threat, through strategic collaborations with larger players. Finally, apart from competition from other products there may be generic alternatives that are generally less expensive and where producers are aggressive in terms of price competition.

Many of the names above also have some presence in the animal health market. In addition, there are specialist companies such as Zoetis, Aratana Therapeutics and VetDC and several early-stage development companies. Furthermore, it is not uncommon that human products are used off-label for veterinary indications.

Adverse events There is a risk that the company’s products and product candidates could cause serious and/or unexpected side effects. If these were to occur, they could cause a delay or stop in clinical trials, negative outcomes in market approval processes, induce labelling requirements or be the source of legal disputes and reputational damage.

Insurance schemes, reimbursements Chemotherapy drugs are expensive and most patients are not able to cover the full treatment by themselves. Therefore, it is common in the health care industry that treatments are covered by various kinds of reimbursement system. Prices for certain treatments have skyrocketed during the past couple of years, raising the question of cost control initiatives, especially in the US. There is a risk that the reimbursement rates could be lowered to such levels that it would not be commercially viable to sell the product in certain countries and/or regions. In addition, it is also a cumbersome process to obtain reimbursement as the process varies between different countries and regions.

Financial position and capital needs Oasmia is still in a development phase and the current cash flows being generated might not be enough to support the planned activities for the coming 12 months. The company is continually working with several different financing options, including licensing deals and discussions with new and existing shareholders, as well as lenders to ensure that it has enough liquidity until its products are registered and can generate revenue streams. The company believes its prospects of receiving funding are good, but if it was not to receive sufficient funds, it could be difficult for Oasmia to continue as a going concern.

Concentration of ownership and conflict of interest Julian Aleksov and Bo Cederstrand, who currently make up 40% of the board of directors, are one of the main shareholders of Oasmia through holding company Alceco. In addition to being partners they have a familial relationship, as Mr Aleksov is married to Mr Cederstrand’s daughter. This can potentially be a conflict of interest in terms of the employment status and remuneration of Mr Aleksov. Alceco also has an outstanding credit facility of SEK 40m to Oasmia.

Limited history makes it difficult to predict the long-term viability of the business

Oasmia depends on key personnel, including scientists and the founder, Julian Aleksov

Currency fluctuations affect both costs and revenue

Oasmia relies on commercial partners

Intellectual property is key to the future success of its product candidates

Limited operational history to assess long-term viability Oasmia has been an active company since 1999, but operations so far have been limited to early stage development activities such as identifying product candidates, raising capital and conducting clinical trials. In terms of commercial activity, the company does not have a proven history of being able to conduct sales and marketing activities, making it difficult to accurately predict its future success. In order to support such activities, Oasmia might need to invest and add such capabilities.

Hiring/maintaining qualified personnel Oasmia’s future success is dependent on its ability to keep, motivate and attract key personnel. This includes senior scientists as well as senior management and in particular Julian Aleksov, who has been part of the company since the start. Loss of key individuals could lead to delays to or prevention of the successful development or commercialisation of key products and product candidates. As previously mentioned, the company might also need to add new capabilities to engage in commercial activities and failure to do so could limit future success.

Currency fluctuations (both costs and revenues) Oasmia could potentially be exposed to currency fluctuations, both in terms of revenue and costs, as the main commercial production site is based outside Sweden and all clinical trials are conducted there. As such, R&D and production costs could increase as result of a weakening SEK. Currency fluctuations could also affect pricing and margins on product sales. To date, no currency hedges have been used, as the timing of flow of capital related to services for product development is difficult to predict.

Dependency on commercial expertise As Oasmia has no commercial platform, it relies on the expertise of commercial partners in certain regions. The company has agreements with Nippon Zenyaku Kogyo for the commercialisation of Paccal Vet in Japan and Hetero Group for the commercialisation of Paclical in Russia and CIS. In addition, it has a separate agreement with Medison Pharma for the commercialisation of Paclical in Israel and Turkey. This renders it dependent on the third parties’ ability to market its products and a failure or termination of the agreements could have a financial impact.

Patent Intellectual property is crucial in pharmaceutical development and Oasmia has a broad portfolio of issued, pending and published patents covering the major markets for lead products and the technology platform, XR-17, which expires in 2028. If Oasmia is not able to adequately defend its IP, this could affect the future success of its product and product candidates. The company might also be forced into litigation, or it could itself be subject to allegations of patent infringements by a third party.
