CEO Comments -
Nikolaj Sørensen
Well positioned to capture new market opportunities and reach profitability
'In the quarter we saw steady progress in our pipeline, in particular the broadening of the application of amorphOX® to new categories of molecules, in partnership with leading international biopharmaceutical companies communicated early in 2023. It is also encouraging to see new market opportunities for ZUBSOLV® and MODIA® in the US due to the largest change in legislation for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) since the launch of ZUBSOLV®, removing most restrictions on the prescription of buprenorphine for the treatment of OUD. As expected, EBIT in Q4 was affected by high non-recurring operating costs and the continued strength of the USD. On a full year basis, our financial development compared to last year is positive with improved revenues and EBIT, although both affected by FX fluctuations. The main concern in the quarter is our digital therapies and consequently in beginning of 2023 we have re-organized our US commercial operations in the US to increase focus on sales and improve efficiencies.'
