SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING 1 JANUARY – 31 MARCH 2026In January 2026, it was announced that the European Patent Office (EPO) had declared its intention to grant Iconovo’s patent application for ICOpre®. The patent describes the dose-delivery design used in Iconovo’s ICOpre® inhaler, which is considered interchangeable with GSK’s Ellipta® inhaler. The patent application is also under examination in the United States and China. ICOpre® addresses a market with annual sales of approximately USD 6 billion, and a structured partnering process for late-stage development and commercialization is ongoing.

In January, the company also announced that an agreement had been entered into for a study with a multinational company to evaluate its formulation in ICOone® Nasal, Iconovo’s proprietary single-use platform for nasal drug delivery. The study has been completed as planned, and discussions regarding continued development work are ongoing. The contract is worth approximately MSEK 1.0, of which half was recognized in December 2025 and the other half in the first quarter of 2026.

In February, Iconovo signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Lonza with the aim of establishing a long-term strategic collaboration in the field of spray-dried formulation, which is of central importance for the formulation of biological drugs suitable for inhalation. Iconovo’s three inhaler platforms, ICOcap®, ICOone®, and ICOone® Nasal, are primarily intended as inhaler platforms for new and innovative formulations and reformulations of drugs into inhalation-based forms. This is particularly relevant in the area of biological drugs, where oral formulations such as tablets often are notoriously difficult, if not impossible, to develop with sufficient bioavailability to achieve clinical effect. Biological drugs are therefore an area of growing importance within the inhalation market, given the clear patient preference for inhalation over injections. In this area, access to top-class expertise in spray-dried formulation is considered crucial.

During January–March 2026, two share issues were carried out. Accordingly, a directed share issue of approximately MSEK 25 was completed in January, and a rights issue of approximately MSEK 24.6 was completed in March. The subscription price per share in both issues was SEK 1.15. The issues were approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting on December 15, 2025. The company’s existing principal shareholders, Gerald Engström/Färna Invest AB and FSG Fund II AB, now hold 28.2 percent and 25.5 percent, respectively, of the share capital.

CEO’s MESSAGEDuring the first quarter of 2026, Iconovo AB carried out a capital raise through a directed share issue and a rights issue, which together secured an amount of just under MSEK 50. These funds will finance the company’s operations for at least one year. In practice, however, the company naturally has greater ambitions than that. Above all, a deal based on the ICOpre® platform, which is now the subject of a structured out-licensing process, could generate so-called milestone revenues, contributing to a higher degree of self-financing even before the products linked to this inhaler have reached the market. As regards ICOres®, we are also in the process of securing, together with our US-based licensing partner Amneal, a partner for Europe and potentially also selected markets outside Europe and the United States. In this expansion of the existing agreement, however, we do not expect any additional payments before launch, which may take place in 2029 at the earliest. The addressable market for ICOres® amounted to approximately USD 3 billion in 2025, and for ICOpre® it was approximately USD 6 billion. Securing the targeted licensing agreements for our generic flagship projects based on ICOres® and ICOpre® is the company’s highest priority in 2026.

INCREASED LONG-TERM FOCUS ON REFORMULATIONWithin the Reformulation area, we continue to work preclinically on the semaglutide project, while also recently securing additional assignments through the development we have initiated for Aeriant and for a large, yet unnamed, multinational company. The development work we are conducting in these projects is funded by the partners and contributes to Iconovo’s self-financing. However, also within the Reformulation area, royalty revenues from sales remain the ultimate goal.

Building up the Reformulation business is strategically extremely important for Iconovo because, following the licensing of ICOpre® and the expansion of the partnership around ICOres® that we are now seeking in 2026, Iconovo has no additional generic projects in the pipeline. In the short term, therefore, there is a strong focus on securing business agreements that enable Iconovo to realize the values that have been built up over a long period in the generic projects. In the longer term, the focus will increasingly shift to the Reformulation side, an area that will primarily be assignment-based and funded by the client. Overall, such a development therefore contributes to an increasing degree of self-financing for Iconovo, even pending the royalty revenues that will come when the products reach the market.

STRATEGIC LETTER OF INTENT WITH LONZAIn line with the above, in the first quarter Iconovo also signed a Letter of Intent regarding a strategic collaboration with the global CRO company Lonza, with the ambition of reaching a new, broader collaboration agreement with the company in the second quarter of this year. In particular, when it comes to developing inhaled forms for larger molecules, such as biological drugs and vaccines, both of which are highly attractive market areas, Lonza possesses technology that is crucial for development. Furthermore, Iconovo has advantages in collaborating with Lonza when it comes to generating more Reformulation assignments, and Lonza also benefits from a closer connection to Iconovo, with its broad and versatile inhaler portfolio with applications both in the generics segment and in innovative companies.

CONTINUED MARKET GROWTHThe market for new delivery formats is expected to grow significantly over the coming decade. This includes depot formulations, wearable pumps, patches, and not least inhalation. Given its pioneering role in this area, Iconovo has every reason to act strategically to maintain a leading position in the inhalation segment.

AGREEMENT WITH THE CEO MADE PERMANENTFinally, as previously announced, I have been given the opportunity to continue leading Iconovo as CEO on a permanent basis, having served as interim CEO since 31 October last year. I would like to thank the Board of Directors for its confidence and I look forward to working together to further strengthen the company and increase its degree of self-financing, primarily by realizing the values already built into the company’s strong inhaler portfolio and associated development projects, in which Iconovo has invested for several years, while gradually expanding client-funded development within the strategically important Reformulation area.Anders Månsson, CEO

This is ICONOVOIconovo is actively engaged in the development of new inhalation drugs through partnerships with international pharmaceutical companies, tapping into an expanding market. Inhalation medicines 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 PharmaceuticalsIconovo 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.

Generic PharmaceuticalsAs 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 2025 Symbicort Turbuhaler® and similar products achieved sales of approx. USD 3bn, and Ellipta®-inhaled medications recorded sales of approx. USD 6bn.

Iconovo's model offers high commercial potential with low development riskThe revenue streams from Iconovo’s customer collaborations consist of upfront payments for access to the company’s technology, milestone-based payments during the development phase, and subsequently royalties on sales once the products reach the market.

Inhalation platformsIconovo 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.
