Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (http://www.sobi.com/) (Sobi™) today
announces its results for the third quarter 2016. Revenue for the quarter
totalled SEK 1,171 M (786), an increase of 49 per cent compared to previous
year. Based on strong performance across the portfolio and an earlier launch for
Alprolix, the company has raised guidance for the full year.

Business highlights Q3 2016

  · Elocta® reimbursed in the UK, Italy, France and Spain
  · Alprolix® reimbursed in the UK
  · Long term Elocta and Alprolix data presented at WHF 2016 World Congress
  · Orfadin® capsule filing validated by Health Canada
  · Milan Zdravkovic appointed as SVP, Head of R&D

Financial highlights Q3 2016 (Q3 2015)

  · Total revenue of SEK 1,171 M (786), an increase of 49 per cent
  · Product revenue of SEK 1,009 M (645), an increase of 56 per cent (57 per
cent at CER)
  · Gross margin of 67 per cent (62)
  · EBITA of SEK 282 M (97)
  · Ended the quarter with a cash position of SEK 824 M
  · Earnings per share 0.53 SEK (0.02)

“Results in the third quarter had a positive contribution from the ongoing
launch of Elocta, from an earlier than anticipated launch for Alprolix and from
Kineret®. We continue to lay the foundation for a sustainable haemophilia
business in Europe with both Elocta and Alprolix gaining several important
reimbursement approvals in major markets”, said Geoffrey McDonough, CEO and
President at Sobi.

“A significant milestone after the quarter was the orphan designation approval
by the European Commission for our development candidate SOBI003 – a chemically
modified human recombinant sulfamidase for the treatment of
mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (Sanfilippo A syndrome). MPS IIIA is a severe
and debilitating disease with devastating consequences for patients, and there
is presently no treatment available.”
