CEO COMMENTS:
”It has been a very eventful period for Oasmia. We have as the first Swedish company in a long time entered the American stock market through a US NASDAQ listing. The listing will help to increase interest for Oasmia in the USA, which is the market with the greatest potential for us. In connection with the listing, we performed an Initial Public Offering for new American investors. We have received a great interest on our roadshows, especially from investors specialized in the pharmaceutical sector.
Another important milestone for the company is that we have received our first orders for Paclical from Russia. They are estimated to an end-user value of about USD 9 million. The fact that these orders were this significant is a very important indication that the interest for Paclical in Russia is great. We expect significant growth in the region, which also includes the CIS countries, and that more doctors see the benefits of treatment with Paclical compared to standard treatment.
We have also received final data from the head-to-head study with Paclical and the market-leading product on the global paclitaxel market Abraxane, which is marketed by Celgene. The data shows a total bioequivalence, which indicates that both products have the same efficacy. Abraxane is the only competitor on this market and its sales is estimated to exceed one billion dollars in 2015. We are convinced that there is room for one more product with the same properties on this market.
Oasmia has during the period regained the marketing and sales rights to Paccal Vet in the USA, and this process was completed on October 1, 2015. This move is important to achieve growth on the American market for veterinary pharmaceuticals and increases our flexibility by allowing us to control how our products are marketed.
In order to strengthen the company financially and in addition to the share issue, Nexttobe has also extended a loan, which shows that we have a long-term relation with our principal owners. As we expect that revenues will be generated from sales in Russia shortly, we see the future with optimism, although much work remains”, comments Mikael Asp, CEO for Oasmia.
