CEO comments
The first quarter of 2025 has been pivotal for Alligator,
marked by significant clinical, regulatory, and financial
progress that strengthens our strategic position moving
forward.
FDA alignment marks key milestone for
mitazalimab
A major development step was the successful completion
of our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for mitazalimab. The FDA confirmed
alignment on our clinical development strategy and Phase 3
trial design, providing important regulatory validation thus
significantly de-risking the program. We remain on track
to initiate the Phase 3 trial in metastatic pancreatic cancer
together with a strategic partner during H2 2025.
Encouraging long-term survival data
reinforce mitazalimab’s potential
We also reported encouraging 24-month survival data from
OPTIMIZE-1, showing a survival rate of 29.4% for mitazalimab
in combination with mFOLFIRINOX—three times that of
chemotherapy alone. Additional data from an indirect
literature comparison, presented at the ASCO GI conference
in January, further reinforced these findings and strengthen
our confidence in mitazalimab’s potential as a transformative
treatment option.
During February we also presented top-line data from the back-
fill 450 µg/kg cohort, requested by the FDA to enable further
mitazalimab dose characterisation. The available data further
supports 900 µg/kg as the recommended Phase 3 dose.
Focused efforts to secure strategic
partnership for mitazalimab
During Q1 we have advanced mitazalimab further; releasing
data reinforcing the clinical benefit of mitazalimab in first line
metastatic pancreatic cancer, and removing residual regulatory
risks associated with manufacturing, Phase 3 and trial design
and dose. Looking ahead, our top priority is to secure a strategic
partnership for mitazalimab. To support these efforts, we have
attended several international partnering meetings. We have
also engaged a global transaction advisor with experience and
track-record in oncology, in order to strengthen our outreach
and increase the likelihood of a mitazalimab partnership.
Other pipeline program advancements
Our broader pipeline continues to evolve. In January, peer-
reviewed clinical data for our 4-1BB antibody ATOR-1017
were published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer ,
confirming its immunomodulatory activity and supporting its
long-term scientific value. In parallel, the FDA granted Orphan
Drug Designation to HLX22, out-licensed to Henlius, for the
treatment of gastric cancer—a positive step forward in that
program.
Strengthening leadership with
appointment of new Chief Medical Officer
To support our development efforts, we appointed Dr. Tom
Moore as Chief Medical Officer. With his strong background in
immuno-oncology and clinical development, Tom adds valuable
expertise to Alligator.
Improved financial flexibility through
decisive funding and cost-saving measures
During Q1, we also completed our decisive steps to strengthen
our financial position and streamline operations. The rights
issue announced in December 2024 was approved at the EGM
in January and completed in February, raising SEK 153 million
(gross). A second EGM, held in March, approved a reverse share
split to achieve an appropriate number of shares. Our cost-
reduction program announced in Q4 2024 is running ahead of
plan and we will conclude the restructuring in late Q2 2025.
Together, these measures will significantly lower our burn rate
in the coming quarters, improve our financial flexibility and
enable a sharpened focus.
Looking ahead, the upcoming exercise period for the TO 12
warrants, running from 5 to 19 May 2025, offers shareholders
an opportunity to support Alligator’s continued progress while
benefiting from an attractive discounted subscription price.
Commitment to sustainability and long-
term value creation
Sustainability continues to be an integral part of our operations.
We aim to build long-term value through responsible business
practices and good governance, as detailed in our 2024 Annual
Report published in March.
Positioned for progress with strong
foundation and clear strategy
I would like to thank our shareholders, employees, and
partners for your continued support. With solid clinical results,
a streamlined organization, and a clear strategy, Alligator is
well positioned to deliver on its mission to improve the lives of
patients with hard-to-treat cancers.

| Alligator Bioscience AB | Interim report January – March 2025 Introduction
Market overview
With the continued rise of cancer diagnoses around the world, the need for more
effective treatments also grows. Cancer touches all our lives, either directly or
through its effect on family and loved ones. There is a great need for therapies that
can safely combine immunotherapies and other forms of cancer treatments, to treat,
or possibly even cure, cancers.
Need for cancer care
Cancer remains the leading cause of premature death in
industrialized countries.¹ Each year, nearly 18 million people
are diagnosed with cancer globally,² and in 2020, 10 million
people died from the disease.³ By 2025, new cases are
projected to reach 21.6 million—a 20% increase.⁴ Based
on 2016–2018 data, about 40% of men and women will be
diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.⁵
Rising life expectancy and better diagnostics contribute to
increased detection, often at earlier stages where treatment
is more effective. Nearly half of cancer cases occur in Asia,
25% in Europe, and 15% in North America. The incidence
rate is about 600 per 100,000 people in Europe and North
America, with the highest rates in high-income regions.⁶
Current treatments include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy,
and immunotherapy. While advances have improved
outcomes and tolerability, the continued high incidence and
mortality underline the need for better and safer cancer
drugs.
The oncology market
The growing cancer burden is reflected in rising costs. In 2021,
oncology drug sales totaled USD 280 billion, with projections
reaching USD 480 billion by 2028 and USD 680 billion by
2030.⁷ Alligator believes that new immunotherapies will be
central to future treatment. In 2020, oncology represented
14% of the pharmaceutical market and is expected to grow
to 23% by 2026.⁸
The immuno-oncology market
Immuno-oncology (IO) stimulates the immune system to fight
cancer. The IO market is expected to grow 21% annually,
reaching USD 140 billion by 2027. Checkpoint inhibitors like
Keytruda®, Opdivo®, Tecentriq®, and Yervoy ® are forecasted
to generate USD 88 billion in revenue by that time.⁹
Unlike small-molecule generics, biologics face less direct
competition due to the complexity of producing biosimilars.
Clinical trials are required to prove equivalence, especially
for agonistic antibodies like those developed by Alligator,
where therapeutic effects can depend on the manufacturing
process.
Pancreatic cancer and market outlook
Alligator’s lead candidate, mitazalimab, targets pancreatic
cancer, which sees approximately 495,000 new cases globally
each year.¹⁰ Only 20% of patients are eligible for surgery; for
the rest, prognosis remains poor. Median survival without
treatment is about six months, and chemotherapy can extend
it to 9–11 months.
Common first-line therapies include:
• Gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel: median OS of 8.1 months;
23% response rate.¹¹
• FOLFIRINOX: median OS of 11.1 months; 31% response
rate.¹²
• NALIRIFOX: median OS of 11.1 months; 41.8% response
rate. Approved in early 2024 following NAPOLI-3 trial.¹³ ¹⁴
The pancreatic cancer market is expected to grow at 11.6%
CAGR to USD 5.5 billion by 2029, driven by new therapies and
biologics.¹⁵,¹⁶ Alligator anticipates FOLFIRINOX will become
the new first-line standard in the US, expanding mitazalimab’s
potential patient base. Peak sales for mitazalimab are
estimated at up to USD 2 billion annually, depending on
clinical performance and market factors.

| Alligator Bioscience AB | Interim report January – March 2025 Introduction
Competitors
Alligator competes with both large pharma and biotech
companies developing antibody-based and immuno-oncology
drugs, including AbbVie, Roche, Pfizer/SeaGen, Genmab, and
others targeting the same molecular pathways.
Market trends
Alligator assesses that the need and demand for novel
immunotherapy drugs will increase moving forward. The
main market trends identified by Alligator are as follows:
• Growing number of applications for
immunotherapy:
Alligator’s assessment is that immunotherapies
have a potential to revolutionize cancer treatment.
Immunotherapies were first used to treat malignant
melanoma, but as of today, they are approved for
numerous kinds of cancers, including kidney, head and
neck, gastric, lung and bladder cancer as well as lymphoma.
• The need for combination therapies:
Although the emergence of immunotherapies has
significantly improved cancer treatments over the past
decade, only 15-25% of patients experience a lasting
clinical effect with current treatments. To improve the
result of treatments, combination therapies, which
combine different treatment modalities, have become the
cornerstone of cancer treatment. Alligator believes that the
scope of combination therapies will increase significantly
during the next couple of years. With its unique effect and
safety profile, Alligator’s antibody drugs are very well suited
for combination therapies.
Market overview, cont.
• Partnerships between pharmaceutical companies:
Partnerships are increasing between Big Pharma and
small research-based biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies in drug discovery and development. The cost
of drug development is high, which is why small research-
based pharmaceutical companies often choose to license
their products to Big Pharma before large-scale clinical
studies are carried out. Big Pharma then carries out the
clinical studies that are required and commercialize the
drug in the global market. This streamlines the product
development process from concept to commercialization
and distributes the risks between the parties. The research-
based biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies also
receive early returns in terms of upfront and milestone
payments linked to development. In addition, licensing
contracts usually entitle the small companies to sales-
related milestone payments and royalties on sales, which
secures long-term revenues.
• Demographic trend:
Driven by demographic trends such as population
aging in developed countries and rising incomes along
with improved access to, and more widespread use of,
drugs in emerging markets, Alligator expects the total
pharmaceutical market to grow.
• Increased expenditure and investment:
In the years ahead, Alligator expects that expenditure will
increase, especially in developed countries, due to higher
costs for drugs in novel and expensive therapies and a
higher price per product in some countries. In addition,
development in, for example, developing countries
is expected to increase in the years ahead, due to
improvements in social safety nets and private insurance.
• Improved access to medicines:
Alligator assesses that global access to medicines
will increase. The increase will be driven by a more
considerable use of more expensive, patented original
drugs in developed countries, more widespread use of
cheaper alternatives when patents expire and improved
access to medicines in developing countries.

clinical studies up to and including clinical proof-of-concept
in Phase 2. Alligator also has the medical and regulatory
expertise and ability to analyze clinical data in preparation
for late-phase clinical studies. The operational aspects of the
clinical development process have been contracted to Clinical
Research Organizations (CRO), which also makes it possible to
conduct clinical studies in several different countries. Alligator
is continuously involved in all clinical development steps.
Alligator is ultimately responsible for all work performed by
a contracted CRO.
Business development strategy
Alligator conducts business development to generate non-
dilutive income for the shareholders through out-licensing of
antibodies and drug candidates, mainly in the preclinical or
clinical phase, or further development through collaboration.

Project portfolio – mitazalimab
Mitazalimab is a CD40-targeting stimulatory antibody that activates dendritic cells—
key players in initiating anti-tumor immune responses. By enhancing dendritic cell
function, mitazalimab enables a more effective, tumor-specific activation of
T cells. Preclinical studies have shown robust immune activation, long-lasting tumor
immunity, and potential for use across multiple cancer types and in combination with
chemotherapy, vaccines, and checkpoint inhibitors.
Early clinical results for mitazalimab has confirmed its safety
and tolerability, as well as provided biomarker evidence of
immune activation. These findings supported the design of
the ongoing Phase 2 study, OPTIMIZE-1.
OPTIMIZE-1 – a Phase 3-enabling study
OPTIMIZE-1 is an open-label, multi-center Phase 2 trial
evaluating mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX
in previously untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Data from 57 patients have shown that the combination
delivers significant and sustained survival benefits over
standard chemotherapy alone. In February 2025, Alligator
reported continued encouraging overall survival benefit for
mitazalimab from the 24-month follow-up in OPTIMIZE-1 – a
follow-up time that sets the candidate apart from many other
drugs in clinical evaluation.
Recently published results:
• The survival rate at 24 months was 29.4% in patients
treated with mitazalimab in combination with
mFOLFIRINOX, a threefold increase compared to the
estimated 8% for chemotherapy FOLFIRINOX alone16.
• Median Overall Survival (mOS) was 14.9 months17, a
strong outcome compared to 11.1 months reported for
FOLFIRINOX16 and more recently for NALIRIFOX18.
• At the analysis cutoff at 24 months, 16 patients (28%)
were still alive, and 5 (9%) remained on treatment. The
longest ongoing treatment duration was 32 months.
• The confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) was 42.1
percent17, aligning well with the reported ORR of 31.6%
in a similar patient population treated with FOLFIRINOX
alone16, and the 42% ORR reported for NALIRIFOX18. The
unconfirmed ORR was 54.4% among the 57 patients
evaluated17.
Driving long-term survival in pancreatic cancer
• Median Duration of Response (DoR) was 12.6 months17,
which was confirmed at the 24-month analysis —
an exceptional result in this aggressive disease,
significantly longer than the 5.9 months reported for
FOLFIRINOX16 and 7.3 months reported for NALIRIFOX18.
Mitazalimab received orphan drug designation for pancreatic
cancer in both the U.S. (May 2023) and EU (August 2023).
Regulatory progress and Phase 3
readiness
Based on guidance from the FDA and European regulators,
Alligator has established a clear regulatory path forward,
confirming OPTIMIZE-1 as a Phase 3-enabling study. In
response to FDA input, an additional 450 µg/kg dose cohort
was added to support dose characterization.
Top-line results from this cohort, reported in February 2025,
further validated the 900 µg/kg dose as optimal for Phase 3.
In Q4 2024, a CMC interaction with the FDA confirmed that
Alligator’s completed and planned work supports Phase
3 progression. Manufacturing of GMP material has been
initiated accordingly.
At the FDA’s End-of-Phase 2 meeting in January 2025, the
proposed global Phase 3 design received alignment from
both the FDA and German Paul Ehrlich Institute as a basis for
future BLA and MAA submissions.
Next steps
Alligator is preparing to initiate the global Phase 3 trial in H2
2025, with potential for accelerated approval. Partnership
discussions are ongoing to support execution of this pivotal
study. To strengthen these efforts, Alligator has engaged a
global transaction advisor with deep experience and a proven
track record in oncology to actively support the partnering
process.

Project portfolio – ATOR-4066
ATOR-4066 is a bispecific antibody developed by Alligator within the Neo-X-Prime™
concept as a sequel to mitazalimab. In addition to CD40, ATOR-4066 targets CEACAM5
(carcino-embryonic antigen 5). CEACAM5 is a protein found in certain tumors, for
example colorectal cancer, but not at all or in low amounts in normal tissue, which
makes it an attractive target molecule for cancer treatment.
Background
Preclinical data show that ATOR-4066 selectively activates
dendritic cells and T cells in material from human tumors, and
that this activation is dependent on CEACAM5- expression
in the tumor. Moreover, data from experimental models

a next generation bispecific CD40-agonist
Project progress
The mechanism and potential of ATOR-4066 was
strengthened further during the data published at SITC in
November 2024 showing that ATOR-4066 alone can eliminate
large tumors with heterogenous CEACAM5-expression,
thereby limiting tumor-escape mechanisms and forming the
basis for single agent use of the molecule in certain cancers.
Based on these positive data, Alligator expects to initiate CMC
process development and other IND-enabling activities for
ATOR-4066 as soon as possible, dependent on operational
and financial capability.
In January 2024, the USPTO granted the first US patent for
ATOR-4066.
Project portfolio – ALG.APV-527
ALG.APV-527 is a bispecific antibody co-developed by Alligator and Aptevo
Therapeutics since 2017. The molecule is a T-cell engager which combines a tumor-
targeting domain (5T4) and an immunostimulatory domain (4-1BB), designed to
activate immune cells only upon simultaneous binding to both targets—ensuring
tumor-specific activity and minimizing off-target effects.
Background
5T4 is a protein expressed on several solid tumors, including
triple-negative breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma.
ALG.APV-527 stimulates both T cells and NK cells in the tumor
microenvironment, supporting a strong immune response
while maintaining a favorable safety profile.
The antibody was developed using Alligator’s ALLIGATOR-
GOLD® library and optimized with Aptevo’s ADAPTIR™
platform. The partners share ownership and development
costs equally under a 50/50 agreement.
Preclinical data, published in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics,
demonstrated potent tumor-specific immune activation,
immunologic memory, and a strong safety profile with no
systemic immune activation or liver toxicity.
a tumor-directed bispecific antibody
Clinical progress
In 2023, the first patient was dosed in a Phase 1 study
evaluating safety and preliminary efficacy in patients with 5T4-
expressing tumors. Interim data announced in March 2024
showed a favorable safety and pharmacokinetics profile, along
with early signs of efficacy in heavily pretreated breast cancer
patients. By Q4 2024, the study met key endpoints including
adequate exposure, safety, tolerability, and biological activity.
The companies are currently evaluating the next steps for the
program.
These results support further clinical development of
ALG.APV-527 as a promising tumor-targeted immunotherapy
with the potential for improved efficacy and reduced side
effects.

Collaborations and
out-licensing agreements
HLX22 – Agreement with
Abclon, Inc.
Through its subsidiary Atlas Therapeutics AB, Alligator holds
a participating interest in the clinical Biosynergy (HLX22)
project, run by the Korean company AbClon Inc. The HER2
antibody AC101 is currently being developed by the Chinese
company Shanghai Henlius Biotech Inc., which expanded its
rights to encompass a global license for development and
commercialization in 2018.
Alligator incurs no overheads for this project but is entitled
to 35% of the revenue received by AbClon Inc. from out-
licensing to Shanghai Henlius Biotech Inc. In previous financial
years, Alligator has received two milestone payments totaling
USD 3 million.
HLX22 entered into Phase 2 clinical development in gastric
cancer during Q3 2021, a study that is expected to be
completed in December 2025. In Q4 2022, Shanghai Henlius
Biotech Inc. announced the Chinese IND approval for a
second Phase 2 clinical study of HLX22 in gastric cancer. In
September 2024, Shanghai Henlius Biotech Inc. reported
updated Phase 2 clinical data for HLX22 at the 2024 ESMO
Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress, showing that HLX22 in
combination with trastuzumab (HLX02) and chemotherapy
significantly prolonged progression-free survival and led
to an increased antitumor response in patients with HER2-
positive gastric cancer. An additional IND for a multicenter
Phase 3 study of HLX22 in combination with trastuzumab and
chemotherapy was approved by the US FDA in May 2024, in
which the first patient was dosed in Q4 2024.
Biotheus, Inc.
In August 2019, an agreement was concluded with the
Chinese company Biotheus Inc, who obtained the Chinese
rights (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao) to an antibody
from the ALLIGATOR-GOLD ® library. Under the agreement,
Alligator is entitled to potential upfront payments and future
milestone and license option payments totaling USD 142
million. To date, Alligator has received upfront payments of
about USD 1 million, for events such as positive results after
an initial evaluation period.

Alligator warrant programs
After the reverse split
The EGM on 27 March 2025 resolved to carry out a reverse
split of Alligator’s ordinary shares (1:1,000) and to reduce the
share capital to cover loss by redemption of all outstanding
779,169 series C-shares, held by Alligator. This means that the
quota value per share has increased from SEK 0.0008 to SEK
0.8.
Share-based incentive programs
Alligator has issued warrants under three warrant programs
including employees and three warrant programs including
certain board members. Please note that all information
below is post reverse split.
Warrant program LTI 2022-I/2022-II
The Annual General Meeting held 2022 resolved to implement
a warrant program for employees and certain board members
(“LTI 2022-I/LTI 2022-II”). After recalculation due to completed
rights issues during 2023, 2024 and 2025 the subscription
price has been recalculated to SEK 77.61 per share. Each
warrant is entitled to 0.0436 shares. If all warrants LTI 2022-I/
LTI 2022-II are exercised a total of 122,022 new ordinary
shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of
approximately 0.7%. All warrants have been transferred to
the participants at fair market value.
Warrant program LTI 2023-I/2023-II
The Annual General Meeting held 2023 resolved to implement
a warrant program for employees and certain board members
(“LTI 2023-I/LTI 2023-II”). After recalculation due to completed
rights issues during 2024 and 2025 the subscription price
has been recalculated to SEK 32.03 per share. Each warrant is
entitled to 0.0331 shares. If all warrants LTI 2023-I/LTI 2023-
II are exercised a total of 209,468 new ordinary shares will
be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately
1.2%. All warrants have been transferred to the participants
at fair market value.
Warrant program LTI 2024-I/2024-II
The Annual General Meeting held 2024 resolved to implement
a warrant program for employees and certain board
members (“LTI 2024-I/LTI 2024-II”). After recalculation due
to completed rights issue during 2025 the subscription price

Other information
Review
This report has not been reviewed by Alligator’s auditor.
Employees
The number of employees in the Group at the end of the
quarter was 33 (55), including employees under notice period.
Of these, 12 (16) were men and 21 (39) were women. Of the
total number of employees at the end of the quarter 11 (46)
were employed within research and development.
Financial calendar
Alligator intends to publish its financial reports according to
the following:
• Interim report January – June 2025: 10 July 2025
• Interim report January – September 2025: 23 October
2025
• Year-end report 2025: 12 February 2026
Risks and uncertainties
During the course of its business operations, the Group
is exposed to various financial risks, such as market risk
(comprising foreign exchange risk, interest-rate risk and
price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The aim of the Group’s
overall risk management is to achieve minimal adverse effects
in terms of earnings and financial position.
The Group’s business risks, risk management and financial
risks are described in detail in the Annual Report for 2024.
Conflicts in the world
Many wars and conflicts are raging around the world,
resulting in enormous human suffering. The Russian invasion
of Ukraine has worsened the political security situation in the
rest of the world and created great uncertainty in the financial
markets, which may affect the Group’s ability to finance clinical
trials in the future. The conflict between Israel and Palestina
has been going on for decades and has flared up many times
over the years. Recently, the violence has escalated and
caused enormous suffering. Some other countries around
the world are also at war right now.
The Group has no direct business in, nor does it conduct any
clinical studies in affected countries but sees that the Group
will suffer from increased raw material and energy prices,
which in turn will translate into increased prices for goods
and services.
Cyber security
Cyber-attacks have become a significant threat in society and
for Alligator, which is dependent on IT support in its daily
operations. The Group has ongoing work to ensure that the
Group is well prepared to counter cyber-attacks and other
types of intrusion.
Statement of financial position
Cash and cash equivalents comprised of bank balances and
totaled SEK 28,853 (40,022) at the end of the period. Alligator
works continuously to secure financing of the operation. This
includes new licensing agreements with upfront payments
as well as other financing alternatives. Alligator completed a
rights issue in February 2025. Following the completion of the
rights issue of units (ordinary shares and warrants series TO
12 and TO 13), it is Alligator’s assessment that there is funding
for 2025, provided that the two warrant programs in 2025
are subscribed to at least the expected extent. However, this
means that as of the date of this quarterly report, Alligator’s
funding for 2025 is not secured.
The Board has noted that the equity is below half of the
registered share capital. Alligator has considered the
provisions in Chap. 25 in the Swedish Companies Act and
and concluded that Alligator has large surplus values in
primarily the mitazalimab project that good margin exceeds
the deficiency in equity. Thus, no actual deficiency in equity
exists that requires the Board to prepare a balance sheet for
liquidation purposes
Forward-looking information
Even though the Board and management believe the
expectations in this report are justified, no guarantees can
be given that they will turn out to be correct. Accordingly, the
actual outcome may differ significantly from the assumptions
stated in the forward-looking information depending on,
among other factors, changes in the economy or market,
changes in legal or regulatory demands, political decisions
and changes in exchange rates.
Parent company
Both management functions and all operating activities are
carried out in the parent company. For additional details,
refer to the information provided for the Group since the
subsidiaries do not conduct their own operations.

Financial statements
Unless otherwise stated in this interim report, numbers refer to the Group. Due to the nature of the
business, there can be large fluctuations in revenue which are not seasonal or regular but are mainly
linked to when milestones generating a payment are reached in out-licensed research projects. Like
revenue, expenses can also fluctuate between periods. Among other factors, this fluctuation in expenses
is influenced by the current phase of the various projects since certain phases generate higher costs.

Operating costs
Operating costs are lower compared to the same period previous year and are mainly due to lower costs in mitazalimab OPTIMIZE-1 study that had its
peak patient recruitment last year. External costs for mitazalimab amounted to SEK 21,854 thousand (23,799) during the first quarter of the year. These

ASSETS
Participations in development projects
The Group’s participations in development projects refers to cooperation with the South Korean company AbClon Inc. for the Biosynergy project
(HLX22). Biosynergy is outlicensed to the Chinese company Shanghai Henlius, which is now further developing the drug candidate. At the end of the
period, participations in development projects amounted to SEK 27,865 thousand (17,949). Significant estimates and judgments are described in
Note 3 and Note 18 of the Annual report for 2024. Regarding the acquired participation in development project, the conditions for the project have
improved and the probability that the drug candidate will achieve milestones and incur royalties have increased. Part of the previous impairment was
thus reversed during 2024.
Right of use assets
At the end of the period, right of use assets amounted to SEK 2,376 thousand (15,343). Right of use assets pertain to leases for offices and laboratories,
machines and vehicles.
In June 2022 Alligator entered into a lease contract with Medicon Village for lab and office premises valid from December 2024 with a contract period
of 5 years. The new contract has increased the right of use assets by approximately SEK 40.4 million based on the use of the contract period without
extension and replaces the previous contract with Medicon Village regarding lab and office premises. Impairment of 100% of the right of use asset has
been accounted for since the move to the new premises has been cancelled, due to the restructuring of the operations now completed by the Group.
In February 2025, Alligator entered into a 3 year lease contract with Medicon Village for limited office premises.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances, SEK 28,853 thousand (40,022).
The Group plans to use its liquidity for operating activities. A portion of the Group’s liquidity is invested in USD, EUR and GBP foreign currency accounts.
In accordance with the Group’s Financial Policy, inflows of foreign currencies exceeding the expected requirements for the coming 18 months are to
be converted to SEK at the time of payment. Besides this, no further hedging has taken place.

Alternative performance measures
Alligator presents certain financial performance measures in this report,
including measures that are not defined under IFRS. The Group believes
that these performance measures are an important complement because
they allow for a better evaluation of the Group’s financial trends. These
financial performance measures should not be viewed in isolation or be
considered to replace the performance indicators that have been prepared
in accordance with IFRS. In addition, such performance measures as
Alligator has defined them should not be compared with other performance
measures with similar names used by other companies. This is because
the above-mentioned performance measures are not always defined in
the same manner, and other companies may calculate them differently to
Alligator.
Below is shown the calculation of key figures, for the mandatory earnings
per share according to IFRS and also for performance measures that are not
defined under IFRS or where the calculation is not shown in another table
in this report.
The Group’s business operation is to conduct research and development
which is why “R&D costs/Operating costs excluding impairment in%” is an
essential indicator as a measure of efficiency, and how much of the Group’s
costs relate to R&D.
The Group does not have a steady flow of income, with income generated
irregularly in connection with the signing of license agreements and
achievement of milestones. Therefore, the Group monitors performance
indicators such as equity ratio and equity per share in order to assess the
Group’s solvency and financial stability. These are monitored along with
the cash position and the various measures of cash flows shown in the
consolidated statement of cash flow.
