Letter from the CEO
We have now completed a productive first quarter, during which we took important steps forward in the launch preparations for Follicopeptide - our science-based innovation for hair growth. We are on track with preparations, keeping to budget, and remain focused on an initial launch at the end of 2025.

During the quarter, we made important progress in several areas of the launch process. We advanced the development of a new manufacturing method that enables a significant reduction in both product cost and production time. Drawing on valuable market insights, we continued to refine the product in terms of design, volume and concentration. Although potential partners wish to be able to develop their own products, it is helpful if we can initially offer ready-to-use, proven formulations. We are seeing a growing need for products with different concentrations and packaging formats to increase profitability across the global value chain. With the aim of further reducing product cost, we have continued our work on various technologies that may enable new formulations and lower dosages while maintaining - or even improving - efficacy. We are also continuing to work on the regulatory documentation (PIF), which is planned for submission to the EU in the third quarter of 2025.

During the period, we allocated significant resources to advancing our partnership discussions. This is a process that requires both persistence and timing, particularly in a shifting market environment. Throughout the quarter, we have been in dialogue with stakeholders across several key markets, including the United States - where political developments and tariff threats have created uncertainty in our sector as well. As part of our strategy, we have maintained a broad international focus and have therefore been able to redirect our efforts towards other key markets, such as Europe, Asia and South America, where we are experiencing strong interest in Follicopeptide. The US remains a priority market, with several ongoing discussions.

Based on all the valuable insights we have gained from the market, it is clear that we are in the midst of the growing megatrend known as longevity. This trend is driving increasing demand for effective, safe and science-based solutions to support a longer, healthier life and to maintain a youthful and vital appearance. Hair growth is a particularly prioritised area within this field - not least because no new science-based innovations have been launched in over 30 years - something that is clearly reflected in the dialogues we are having. Follicopeptide is well positioned to meet the demand in this segment.

Our ambition with Follicopeptide is not only to launch a new product, but to take a leading role in the field of hair growth and thereby contribute to improved quality of life and beauty. By combining science, innovation and function, we aim to set new, globally recognised standards within the beauty industry. We now continue our preparations with full focus on delivering a successful launch. Thank you for your continued support in this important work.
