SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING 1 JULY – 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

During the third quarter, Iconovo carried out a reorganization to focus on the three largest near-term opportunities: ICOpre, ICOres, and the development of an intranasal version of semaglutide.

During the quarter, progress was made in developing an ICOone® Nasal-based formulation of semaglutide. Together with our development partner Lonza, we have developed several promising powder formulations, and the results show that all of them exhibit very good properties in combination with ICOone® Nasal.

Iconovo’s Board of Directors—which includes representatives of Iconovo’s two largest shareholders, Färna Invest AB and Fåhraeus Startup and Growth AB (FSG)—unanimously supports the company’s strategic direction, with a focus on maximizing the value of these three strong business opportunities.

The reorganization is also reflected in third-quarter costs. Personnel expenses in the third quarter of 2025 decreased by 37% compared with the second quarter of 2025, by 31% compared with the third quarter of 2024, and are expected to decrease further in the fourth quarter of 2025. Other external expenses fell in the third quarter of 2025 by 16% compared with the second quarter of 2025 and are also expected to decrease further in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Significant events after the end of the quarter
In mid-October, the company announced that it is withdrawing the financial targets communicated on 1 June 2022. The targets are being revised but will focus on optimizing the value and commercialization of the company’s fully developed inhalers, as well as the development of an intranasal version of the best-selling GLP-1 analogue semaglutide. The aim is to establish updated targets that better reflect the company’s current position and future value drivers. The company intends to present new targets upon completion of the review.

CEO’s MESSAGE

Since the spring, we have worked intensively to build a more commercially focused organisation while significantly reducing our cost base. Our confidence in the substantial market potential of our most advanced product candidates remains as strong as when we presented the company’s financial targets just over three years ago, although the launch timelines have changed. It is therefore the right moment to recalibrate our ambitions. We will revert in due course with concrete strategic objectives that move us closer to our overarching goal: establishing Iconovo as one of Europe’s leading inhalation companies.

This means we are now reviewing our targets while focusing on maximising the value and commercialisation of the company’s fully developed inhalers, as well as advancing an intranasal version of the best-selling GLP-1 analogue semaglutide. The purpose of the recently implemented organisational change was precisely to strengthen the conditions for this strategic direction to succeed.

NEW INITIATIVES TO STRENGTHEN OUR CUSTOMER OFFERING
Inhaled medicines are a commercially attractive and fast-growing segment that offer significant patient benefits. Our five fully developed, unique inhaler platforms provide the potential to create a broad range of new products, each addressing multibillion-currency markets.

To further optimise our offering, we are working to deliver complete inhalation products—combining the inhaler and dry-powder formulation—to pharmaceutical partners. Among other actions, we are strengthening control over inhaler manufacturing. Compared with a business model that licenses out projects at an early stage, the new model enables Iconovo to capture a larger share of the products’ long-term revenue potential.

SEMAGLUTIDE IN ICOone® NASAL SHOWS PROMISING RESULTS
We are making rapid progress in developing an ICOone® Nasal-based formulation of semaglutide. Together with our development partner Lonza, we have created several promising powder formulations, with results showing that all of them exhibit very good properties in combination with ICOone® Nasal— a unique, user-friendly nasal inhaler that delivers the drug upon inhalation. A single inhalation per nostril is expected to provide a full standard dose, making semaglutide in ICOone® Nasal an attractive alternative to today’s injection therapies. The next step is to demonstrate proof-of-concept through in vivo studies in a preclinical model.

PROGRESS IN PARTNER DISCUSSIONS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
As before, securing license agreements for the ICOpre® inhaler platform remains one of our top priorities. We continue to run a structured process to sign license agreements for our generic portfolio of Ellipta-based products in ICOpre®. Because patent expiries and regulatory pathways differ across markets, regional agreements can create opportunities for earlier launches. It is therefore strategically sound to pursue parallel negotiations in Europe, Asia and the United States, building a flexible, market-adapted business model that maximises the potential in each region.

The regulatory landscape is now tangibly shifting toward simplified registration pathways for high-quality generics. In early October, the FDA issued specific guidance enabling a streamlined registration process for Ellipta generics with fewer studies. This benefits our product, given our advanced stage of development and the rigor with which we have met FDA expectations; it also lowers the total cost of bringing a U.S. product to market.

We continue to support our partner Amneal in bringing ICOres® to market as a generic equivalent to Symbicort Turbuhaler. ICOres® has the potential to become the first substitutable generic to replace Symbicort Turbuhaler—a medicine that, despite long having lost patent protection, continues to grow. Between 2023 and 2024, global sales of Symbicort increased from USD 2.4 billion to approximately USD 3.0 billion. This development reinforces our and Amneal’s shared conviction that ICOres® is one of the most attractive opportunities in complex generics.

In parallel, we are in discussions with several potential partners to establish collaborations on the development of both novel medicines and generics using our patented inhalers. Taken together, this provides a solid foundation for setting new, ambitious targets, which Iconovo will present at a later stage.

We are in a strong position thanks to our unique expertise in inhalation technology—an area where we combine technical leadership with a deep understanding of the entire value chain from development to market. This combination enables us to confidently advance our projects toward future licensing deals, with the goal of creating clear value for patients, partners and shareholders.

Johan Wäborg, CEO


This is ICONOVO
Iconovo is actively engaged in the development of new inhalation drugs through partnerships with international pharmaceutical companies, tapping into an expanding market. Inhalation medications offer substantial benefits over traditional forms of treatment like tablets or injections. However, their development demands specialized expertise across various domains, making it a complex yet rewarding endeavor.

Novel Pharmaceuticals
Iconovo has successfully formed several strategic partnerships with research-driven drug companies to pioneer the development of cutting-edge treatments, harnessing the potential of the company's patented inhalers to deliver enhanced value. The annual sales of medications and vaccines against diseases where inhalers offer significant benefits reaches nearly USD 100bn. The area of reformulated drugs is part of the original pharmaceuticals business area and represents another large and growing market, within which several collaborations already exist in the portfolio (Kiox, Monash).

Generic Pharmaceuticals
The market for inhaled medications targeting asthma and COPD is valued at around USD 29bn. As major inhaled drugs face patent expirations, substantial commercial opportunities arise for generic pharmaceutical companies. Iconovo's products show promising potential to replace medications currently delivered through inhalers such as Turbuhaler® and Ellipta®. Notably, in 2024 Symbicort Turbuhaler® achieved sales of USD 2.9bn, and Ellipta®-inhaled medications recorded impressive sales of USD 5.8bn.

Iconovo's model offers high commercial potential with low development risk
The revenue streams from Iconovo's customer collaborations consist of license income, which includes initial payments for access to the company's technology, development income and milestone-based payments during the development work, and royalties once the products are launched. For Novel Pharmaceutials, our royalty rates are usually low single-digit percentages and for Generic Pharmaceuticals, they are in the range of five to ten percent.

Inhalation platforms

Iconovo has five platforms that collectively address the market's various needs for effective and user-friendly inhalers, offering significant commercial opportunities both in the development of entirely new medicines and during patent expirations of branded drugs.


ICOres® is a dry powder inhaler designed to be substitutable for AstraZeneca's top-selling product, Turbuhaler®. ICOres is the only reservoir inhaler capable of accommodating up to three different medicines.

ICOpre® is a multi-dose inhaler with pre-filled doses that can be customized for all types of inhalation powders. ICOpre has been designed to be substitutable for GSK’s Ellipta inhaler. ICOpre is based on a unique, patented principle that minimizes the risk of infringing on the intellectual property rights of other inhalers.

ICOcap® is an inhaler designed for medication in capsules, which are loaded one at a time. It features a sturdy and uniquely user-friendly design, a patented integrated cap, and low inhalation resistance. A standard version of ICOcap is readily available off-the-shelf, and the inhaler can also be optimized to deliver maximum product performance for a specific medicine.


ICOone® is a unique and patented dry powder inhaler designed for single-use. Its construction allows for quick and easy handling, and it boasts an extremely low manufacturing cost. ICOone can deliver significant inhalation doses that are well protected from moisture, which is crucial for many biologics. The inhaler can be designed with one or two cavities (compartments), which is a significant advantage in developing drugs based on two or more active medications.


ICOone® is also available in a version for nasal inhalation, called ICOone® Nasal – a unique and patented inhaler with an extremely low manufacturing cost. It is particularly suitable for short-term treatments, vaccinations, and as-needed medication, offering numerous medical and practical advantages at an unbeatably low treatment cost.

Accounting principles
Iconovo prepares its consolidated accounts in accordance with IFRS, International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the EU. Furthermore, the Group also applies the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Corporate Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1 (Supplementary accounting rules for groups). The Group uses historical cost for the valuation of balance sheet items unless otherwise stated. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. IFRS is constantly evolving, with new standards and interpretations being published continuously. No new or amended standards coming into effect are expected to impact the group's accounting. The complete accounting principles applied by the Group can be found in the Swedish 2024 annual report on pages 57-63.
