Comment from the CEO
Dear Shareholders,
Navamedic has had another successful year, focusing on laying the foundation for future growth through strategic
initiatives and investments. Our focus remains on three key areas where we see significant potential: Parkinson's
treatment, obesity management, and antibiotic solutions.
In our Prescription Drug (Rx) business, we are making strong progress
with Flexilev®. The License and Supply Agreement signed with Orion
Corporation in June marks a pivotal milestone. We are now diligently
preparing for the commercial launch of Flexilev® in OraFID® across the
Nordic countries in 2025. This novel treatment for Parkinson's disease,
coupled with a unique dispenser, promises to improve patient
outcomes. Additionally, our partnership with Alex Therapeutics aims to
enhance patient adherence through digital health solutions.
Obesity management is another critical area of focus. Our currently
largest product, Mysimba, continues to keep a solid position in Norway
despite increased competition. We are committed to expanding our
presence in the weight-loss drug market, underscored by initiatives such as The Norwegian Obesity Report 2025,
including an educational seminar in Oslo early 2025. This seminar highlighted the transition from an obese society
to a healthier one, emphasizing the need for diverse treatment options, including our reimbursed prescription
medications, supplements, and comprehensive patient support programs.
Our antibiotics portfolio has achieved significant tender wins, reinforcing our commitment to combating
antimicrobial resistance. The contracts secured with The Norwegian Hospital Procurement Trust and a joint Nordic
tender demonstrate our dedication to providing high-quality antibiotic solutions to healthcare facilities across the
region.
Navamedic is currently in an investment phase, transforming for future success. We are focused on developing
more proprietary products and initiating new launches to strengthen our market presence. Our expansion in
Sweden and Finland is particularly noteworthy, as Sweden approaches the scale of our Norwegian operations—
reflecting a promising trajectory. With a solid pipeline for future growth, we are committed to continuous business
development and selective mergers and acquisitions to drive additional growth.
Excitingly, we started the year by launching Eroxon®, a non-prescription breakthrough treatment for erectile
dysfunction, in Norway. Eroxon® has been a top-performing product in the Consumer Health business area,
contributing significantly to Consumer Health's strong performance in 2024. The product was subsequently
launched in Sweden in May and Finland in November. With successful promotional campaigns, Eroxon® was labeled
a bestseller by an online pharmacy and named “Launch of the Year” by Boots Apotek in Norway. We look forward to
another successful launch in Denmark in Q2 2025. With strong growth in the Consumer Health segment throughout
the year, we plan to out-license some of our products in 2025, such as Absolut Torr, to other markets.
We are grateful for the support of our shareholders, including the new additions following the sale of Ingerø Reiten
Investment Company's (IRIC) 17 percent stake in the company. We are also pleased to welcome Jostein Davidsen as
the new Chairman of the Board.
5 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited about new product launches and market expansions across our business
areas. Our dedication to public health remains steadfast, as we strive to provide access to high-quality products for
patients.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all our employees whose dedication and hard work have been
instrumental in driving our success. Their commitment and innovation are the backbone of Navamedic's progress,
and together, we look forward to achieving even greater milestones in the coming year.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in Navamedic's journey.
Sincerely,

Group performance
Navamedic result for 2024
In 2024, the Group reported revenues of NOK 531.4 million, up from NOK 512.0 million in 2023, representing an
increase of 4%. While we had solid growth in the Consumer Health business area, we also saw a decrease in
Mysimba sales and experienced periods with Imdur being out of stock which limited the growth.
The EBITDA in 2024 was NOK 46.6 million, compared to NOK 35.5 million in 2023. However, the EBITDA in 2023
included NOK 16.1 million in transaction costs related to the Sensidose AB acquisition. Taking that into
consideration, the EBITDA was slightly below last year, mostly as a result of continued investments in future growth
initiatives, such as launching of new products and preparing for the launch of Flexilev in Orafid.
The operating result (EBIT) in 2024 was NOK 31.8 million, compared to NOK 23.6 million in 2023. Net financials were
negative NOK 33.4 million in 2024, compared to negative NOK 29.7 million last year. The profit before tax was
negative NOK 1.6 million in 2024, up from negative NOK 6.2 million in 2023 while the profit after tax was negative
NOK 5.5 million in 2024, compared to negative NOK 13.7 million last year.
The total comprehensive income was NOK 2.0 million in 2024, compared to negative NOK 13.2 million in 2023.
The Group’s cash flow 2024
The Group had a net cash flow from operating activities in 2024 of NOK 39.4 million, compared to NOK 2.2 million in
2023. The increase of NOK 37.2 million was driven by the improved EBITDA, lower inventory levels and the absence
of transaction costs in 2024.
Net cash from investing activities was negative NOK 2.8 million in 2024, compared to negative NOK 104.6 million in
2023. The investing activities cash flow in 2024 were at a normalized level while the 2023 numbers included the
acquisition of Sensidose AB.
The net cash flow from financing activities was negative NOK 37.7 million in 2024, compared to positive NOK 83.2
million in 2023. Repayment of loans equals to NOK 32.5 million and interest paid was NOK 7.8 million. Proceeds
from share capital issuance are related to the share options exercised.
The cash and cash equivalents were NOK 37.3 million at 31 December 2024, compared to NOK 38.0 million at 31
December 2023.
Financial position as of 31 December 2024
The Group’s consolidated total assets were NOK 467.5 million at 31 December 2024, down from NOK 507.3 million
at year-end 2023. Non-current assets were NOK 267.5 million, down from NOK 297.2 million. Current assets were
NOK 200.0 million compared to NOK 210.1 million at 31 December 2023.
At the end of 2024, Navamedic had equity of NOK 216.7 million, compared to NOK 205.4 million per 31 December
2023, representing an equity ratio of 46.3%. Non-current liabilities are NOK 110.0 million per 31 December 2024
compared to NOK 112.6 million at 31 December 2023. The Group had current liabilities of NOK 140.8 million
compared to NOK 189.3 million at 31 December 2023. The decrease in liabilities is driven by lower interest-bearing
borrowings and a reduction of trade payables.
8 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
The Group concluded based on an assessment of a variety of instances that the loans to Observe Medical ASA were
credit impaired as per 31 December 2023. The Group’s assessment concludes that the loans had defaulted and been
assessed as stage 3 for ECL calculations in the second half of 2023. Consequently, the loan receivables, interest
income and the profit for the year were overstated in the financial statements for 2023. The errors have been
corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior periods, see note 2.5 for
further details.
Navamedic strategy and outlook
Navamedic’s vision is to become a leading Nordic pharma company. The company’s midterm goal is to become a
company with 1 BNOK revenues through profitable growth. Management and the Board evaluates the strategy
annually and the base strategy has stayed firm over the last years. However, as the business evolves, the strategy is
adapted to reflect the current environment. Over the last 2-3 years, and particularly after the acquisitions of Impolin
AB and Sensidose AB, Navamedic has moved into a position of increased ownership of products and therefore out-
licensing and market expansion has become an additional focus area of the strategy. While 2024 showed slower
growth than the previous two years, it was a year of significant investments in future growth initiatives and
Navamedic fully expects to reach the growth targets going forward, delivering on its growth strategy through
increasing revenues both from the existing portfolio of products, out-licensing existing products, and acquiring new
product licenses and companies.
Navamedic sees significant scalability potential in adding new products in the existing distribution and market
access platform in the Nordic region and the Benelux countries. With a well-functioning system of logistics and
distribution, as well as skilled product specialists who regularly meet with hospitals, specialists, general
practitioners and pharmacies, Navamedic has the set-up to launch new prescription and non-prescription
pharmaceuticals both in its core geographic areas and potentially expand certain products into new geographical
areas.
The Company also strives to build and retain value through further ownership and in-licensing as well as further
development of assets, both short- and long-term. Through attaining new licensing rights and acquiring new
products, the Company will increase the share of pharmaceuticals it owns the marketing rights and trademarks to.
Navamedic has solid expertise and capacity within this field and is constantly building a pipeline of products to be
launched in the coming years.
Based on the growth strategy and outlook, Navamedic’s Board of Directors expects the Company to continue the
positive development in 2025 and to show solid growth in the coming years. Navamedic reiterates its mid-term
ambition to build a NOK 1 billion revenue company.
Risk management
The operational and financial risks Navamedic is exposed to are mostly similar to that of other pharmaceutical
companies, but there are a few key differences. Unlike many other pharmaceutical companies, Navamedic does not
have significant product development risks and only has indirect risks related to production, since this is
outsourced to third parties.
9 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
The Group's operations expose it to various types of financial risk: Market risk (including operational risk, currency
risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
The Group is exposed to operational risk. The Group believes that such a risk will primarily arise in relation to the
development of future sales of the Company's products, measured in terms of both price and volume. Factors that
can influence market risk include increased competition, out-of-stock situations, price reductions and competition
from existing and future pharmaceuticals within the Company's range of therapies.
The Company is dependent on production and delivery of products from its third-party product suppliers. The
Company has supply- and distribution agreements with suppliers in which the term of the agreement vary from one
to eight years. The Company is dependent on renewing these agreements at fair prices and on market terms and
conditions and is therefore in continuous dialogue with the key suppliers to ensure they are renewed at competitive
terms.
There is a risk that some of the Company's products may face competition from new products as well as generic
products. This risk may be reduced by having a more diversified portfolio of products as well as a broader
geographical footprint, and Navamedic is continuously exploring ways to expand its portfolio and extending its
geographical present.
Financial risk mainly consists of interest-, currency-, credit- and liquidity risks. Navamedic continuously monitors
these factors and actively manages risk through its operations and through other measures. In 2024, the relatively
weak Norwegian Krone (NOK) had a negative impact on the Group’s results, most noteworthy on the gross margin.
As at 31 December 2024, the Company considered the Group’s liquidity to be satisfactory. Further, Navamedic has
continued to pay down on the loan principal balance according to the amortization schedule in the loan
agreement, and the total loans and borrowings have therefore been reduced throughout 2024.
The interest rate risk is primarily linked to the Group's liquidity and interest rates may affect the Group's borrowings
and deposits. Navamedic has entered into an interest swap agreement to limit the interest rate fluctuation risk. The
Company's interest rates on bank deposits and short-term liquidity investments are floating. Interest rates on
external loans are based on 3-month NIBOR plus a margin.
In 2024 a substantial portion of the Group’s revenues, as well as the majority of salaries and other operating
expenses were in NOK and SEK, while a smaller portion was in DKK and EUR. The products are generally paid for in
EUR, GBP, SEK and USD. Net investments in foreign subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk in SEK. The Company
has evaluated the need for currency hedging on an ongoing basis but has as of yet not introduced specific hedging
positions beyond natural hedging and specific assessments in larger agreements.
Navamedic’s exposure to bad debt risk is very limited for a couple of reasons: First of all, Navamedic trades
generally with creditworthy third parties and the Company’s revenues are mostly generated from sales to
pharmacy chains and wholesalers, as well as public health sectors and hospitals. In addition, Navamedic has a
factoring agreement which further reduces its exposure. This means that the risk of incurring losses is generally low.
The exception to this is Navamedic’s exposure related to the loans issued to Observe Medical ASA, with significant
exposure and risk tied to them. See note 18 for further details.
10 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Navamedic performs an internal evaluation of climate related risks connected to its operations and important parts
of the value chain. The Company currently sees limited risk and monitoring of these risks is going to continue in the
future. There has been an increased focus on the effect Navamedic has on the environment and a more
comprehensive description of this can be found in the Sustainability section of this report.
Navamedic is, like most other companies, exposed to adverse developments in the geo-political situation.
Imbalances and/or disruption in global markets may pose a risk to Navamedic’s on-going business to the extent
that our suppliers, production partners or other partners may not be able to uphold their production or deliveries. It
may also lead to increased transportation costs which may in turn negatively affect Navamedic’s margins. In 2024,
Navamedic experienced some price increases from suppliers, however, there were also some adjustments to the
sales prices, hence the effect did not greatly affect the Navamedic business during 2024.
Navamedic performs regular supply chain risk assessment as stipulated by the Act relating to enterprises'
transparency and work related to human rights and decent working conditions (Åpenhetsloven) in Norway. The
2024 Norwegian Transparence Act report for Navamedic be available on the Company’s website by 30 June 2025.
Organization
The Group had 42 employees at the end of 2024, out of which 25 were women and 17 men, compared to 45 at the
end of 2023. In accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the Board has prepared a
report concerning pay and other benefits for executive personnel, which is partly included in note 16. The full report
will be published on the Company website upon approval in the Annual General Meeting in June.
Navamedic strives to provide a safe and decent working environment. Most employees belong to one of the three
main offices in Oslo, Gothenburg and Stockholm. All these offices are of modern standard in central locations with
satisfactory amenities. The work performed by Navamedic employees does not entail physical labor, and during
2024 there were no work related physical injuries incurred by employees. Navamedic performs an employee
satisfaction survey, &Frankly, on a quarterly basis. The level of employee satisfaction is considered a good level
when comparing to benchmark results. The level has been steady and slightly increasing during 2024. The sick leave
was 3.1% for 2024.
Navamedic ASA has Board liability insurance for the Group’s Board of Directors and CEO. The insurance covers
financial claims against the Board members or CEO that may arise as a result of actions taken by the Board or CEO.
The insurance policy is with a reputable firm, and it applies to Navamedic ASA as well as all of its subsidiaries.
Corporate governance
Navamedic complies with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance (NUES). Please see the
separate section of this annual report (on page 24) for the Company's corporate governance report.
11 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
The share
The Navamedic share has been listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 2006 with the ticker NAVA. As at 31
December 2024, the Company had 17.662.777 outstanding shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.74 per share,
and 1,411 shareholders.
Parent company
Internal support and shared services have been organized in the parent company, Navamedic ASA, in areas where
substantial economies of scale and synergies can be realized. The parent company has a master transfer pricing
agreement related to management/business service costs to and from its subsidiaries Navamedic AB and
Navamedic AS. The parent company holds the rights to various products that are resold by the subsidiaries and the
parent company thereby earns royalties. The royalties are based on actual sales in Navamedic AB and Navamedic
AS. Service fees are charged to subsidiaries covering costs for strategic development, marketing, logistics and
purchasing management, as well as financial and accounting management. In addition, the parent company has
activities relating to insurance, systems development and operations and other operating activities that are
performed on behalf of its subsidiaries, which are also charged out.
The operating revenue in Navamedic ASA of NOK 52.8 million in 2024, compared to 47.6 million in 2023. Total
operating expenses decreased to NOK 70.5 million in 2024 from NOK 81.2 million in 2023 mainly due to transaction
costs in 2023, but this was partly offset by higher costs related to personnel, depreciation and impairment.
Net financial items amounted to NOK 1.0 million in 2024, compared to negative NOK 3.5 million in 2023. Equity
amounted to NOK 177.2 million compared to NOK 184.6 million in 2023.
Navamedic ASA concluded based on an assessment of a variety of instances that the loans to Observe Medical ASA
were credit impaired as per 31 December 2023. Consequently, the loan receivables, interest income and the profit
for the year were overstated in the financial statements for 2023. The errors have been corrected by restating each
of the affected financial statement line items for the prior periods, see section ‘correction of error’ in the accounting
principles for further details.
Disposal of net result for the year and dividends
The parent company’s result after tax for 2024, after the receipt of group contribution, was negative NOK 16.7
million. The Board proposes that the net result for the year be transferred to retained earnings.
Subsequent events
The European Medicines Agency's (EMA) human medicines committee (CHMP) concluded its review of Mysimba
(naltrexone/bupropion), affirming that the benefits of the medicine continue to outweigh its risks for weight
management in adults with obesity or overweight.
12 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Navamedic ASA announced on April 10, 2025 that the company has entered into an agreement in principle
regarding the outstanding loans to Observe Medical ASA. The agreement reduces the loans by 50% with an
adjustment to the payment plan as long as certain conditions are met.
The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (the "NFSA") has assessed that there are misstatements in the
annual financial statements for 2023 and in the interim financial statements for 2024 related to the Company's
accounting of the two loans Navamedic has to Observe Medical ASA, interest on those loans and the information
provided in the notes to the accounts. Navamedic has complied with the imposition from the NFSA and both the
2023 financial statements and the 2024 financial statements in this report reflect these changes.
In the beginning of April 2025, the United States announced the imposition of significant increased tariffs on a wide
variety of goods and services imported to the USA from most of its trading partners, leading to uncertainty and
world-wide negative effects on most stock exchanges. At the time of the publishing of this report, Navamedic’s
operations has not been affected by this and the company does not believe it will have significant negative impact
in the foreseeable future for a couple of reasons: The Navamedic supply chain is for the most part situated in
Europe, requiring no assembly or parts crossing into the USA borders. The demand for Navamedic’s products is not
very elastic nor does it correlate strongly with a cyclical downturn in economic conditions in its core markets.
Going concern
The annual financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern. The
Board confirms that the basis for the Company as a going concern exists and bases its opinion on the Company and
the Group’s financial position, the agreements that have been signed with both suppliers and customers, expected
cash flows in 2025, and the Company's financial liabilities. Due consideration has also been given to possible
negative future impacts of macro-economic conditions and the world’s geopolitical situation in the assessment
supporting the going concern assumption.
13 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Responsibility Statement
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the consolidated financial statements for 2024 give a true and fair
view of the Company’s assets, liabilities, financial position, and results of operation. Furthermore, that the report
provides a fair overview of the information specified in Section 5-6, fourth paragraph of the Norwegian Securities
Trading Act.

Sustainability Report
18 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
A year of sustainable progress
2024 was a year where Navamedic made significant progress in its efforts on the
journey towards its sustainability goals. Sustainability was on the agenda at all
levels of the organization, including being a key element of company
conferences. Throughout 2024, with continued growth, and laying the ground
for long-term value creation both economically and sustainability-wise, we
gained a deeper understanding of the sustainability situation and risks
throughout our value chain, providing important insight going forward.
Navamedic’s sustainability goals are included in the overall KPIs for the group,
and maybe more importantly, broken down into detailed KPIs for all departments.
In this section we will illustrate the highlights of the progress made during 2024 and where
we stand going into 2025.
Navamedic bases its sustainability goals and efforts on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In 2023 we made an assessment regarding which UN SDGs to focus on based on where we believe our contributions
can make the most significant difference. In 2024, our assessment reiterated the SDGs we should focus on, and they
are the following:
Contribute to safe and timely supplies of medicines by minimizing the risk of shortages through close
collaboration with our partners included in the whole value chain
Contribute to people’s health by focusing on important medical needs, such as obesity, antibiotics and
medical nutrition
Commit to respecting fundamental human and labour rights, both in our own business and
throughout the entire value chain
Support work/life balance for employees as a flexible company
Promote employees competence development
Focus together with suppliers on sustainability initiatives
Focus on packaging material of our products to reduce waste, introduce environmental-friendly
alternatives and improve labelling to sort waste material
Transport products in a more sustainable way to reduce CO
2
emission
Implement a travel policy to support business travel in a more sustainable way
Constantly improve and document our environmental actions through the ISO 14001 certification and
internal Environmental Management System
19 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
2024 was a year signified by continued concerns over the development in global environmental challenges, such as
climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion. While the geo-political development arguably worsened
the outlook for global sustainability efforts, Navamedic’s commitment to sustainability and the environment has
proceeded with undeterred determination.
Environment
Navamedic has taken further actions in 2024, not the least through close dialog with all relevant partners up and
down our value chain to identify and implement initiatives that contribute to the reduction of the environmental
footprint. Navamedic has in 2024 also spent considerable time mapping out where the potential key environmental
risks areas are in its upstream value chain. The details of this work will be included in the updated report for the
2024 Norwegian Transparency act, which will be published on the Navamedic web site on or before June 30
th,
however, here is a summary of the main items from the report:
For the supply chain sustainability risk assessment, Navamedic has used several sources, including input directly
from our suppliers, traditional research as well as AI in order to perform a thorough risk assessment of all the key
suppliers in our supply chain. Through the risk assessment we have identified not just where the sustainability
related risks are, but also risks pertaining to human rights, corruption and business ethics. The graphic below
depicts the high-level results of the risk assessment. Navamedic has defined 121 suppliers as key suppliers based on
criteria related to size, location and type of industry they operate in. As shown below, out of the 121 key suppliers,
82 are defined in the low risk category, 34 are defined in the medium risk category and 5 have been identified in the
high-risk category. A categorization of ‘high risk’ does not necessarily mean there is an issue, but more often it is
due to the significance of the supplier and that we may not have complete information regarding their
sustainability efforts and compliance to international standards. Navamedic therefore subsequently focus on the
high-risk suppliers to identify actions and follow-ups to fully understand the risk and what consequences this
should have.

Further to this, the illustration below shows the geographic presence of Navamedic’s key suppliers, which are
mostly headquartered around the Nordics and western European countries. The implication of this is that most of
these countries score high on many sustainability measures, such as labor laws, human rights, transparency etc.
There are however still risks present, not the least that some of our partners may have sub-contractors in higher risk
countries, hence the importance for Navamedic to continue gaining a higher level of detailed knowledge about its
supply chain.

CO2 emissions
One of the key areas of Navamedic’s is the CO2 footprint the company leaves. The efforts made in 2023 and
throughout 2024 have yielded significant and measurable progress. The majority of Navamedic’s CO2 emissions, as
is the case for most companies, come from Scope 3 emissions, particularly from transportation and shipping of our
products, and from business travel. Throughout 2024, we have further improved our accuracy of the measures as
better information and tools have become available. The picture below illustrates the overall status for
Navamedic’s 2024 CO2 emissions.
21 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Navamedic’s overall CO2 emissions have been reduced from 2023 to 2024, from 154 tCO2 to 131 tCO2. A portion
of this is due to the fact that we have improved the accuracy of our business travel calculations, but we have
made some significant strides across many areas. We have been able to reduce the emissions from our product
transportation by approximately 17% from 2023. This has been achieved through consolidating warehousing
locations, optimizing shipment volumes and reducing packaging size for one of our key products. We have further
reduced business travel by implementing the new travel policy we established in 2023, encouraging more
environmentally friendly travelling as much as possible, using digital meetings whenever possible, staying at
hotels with environmental focus and implementing electric cars for our fleet of cars. We see that travels made by
train and buses as opposed to air travel have increased significantly, by 39% and 132% respectively.
Social responsibility
As the societal landscape continues to evolve, businesses need to reassess their roles and responsibilities within
the communities they operate. Embracing principles of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholder
engagement, a vast majority of companies have embarked on their sustainability journey through initiatives
aimed at fostering inclusive growth, promoting diversity and equity, as well as addressing pressing social issues.
Navamedic is actively assuming its role in this realm by actively contributing to the well-being of society, both by
being an important contributor to public health, a socially responsible employer and by striving to be an
attractive place to work.
Central to our social responsibility is the unwavering commitment to ensuring a stable supply of necessary
pharmaceutical products in our portfolio. We recognize the vital role these products play in contribution to public
22 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
health, and as such, we prioritize the reliability and accessibility of our offerings. Through proactive supply chain
management and strategic partnerships, we strive to mitigate disruptions and ensure that patients have access
to the medications they need.
In addition to maintaining a stable supply chain, we proactively monitor and assess emerging healthcare needs to
identify opportunities for innovation and product development. By staying abreast of evolving medical trends and
public health challenges, we remain agile in our response, continuously seeking to address unmet medical needs
and improve patient outcomes. Our last three acquisitions underpin this point:
• The acquisition of our antibiotics portfolio, with intravenous antibiotics for use in hospitals and emergency
rooms, providing life-saving medical care for many patients.
• The acquisition of Impolin AB, which included products to help people fight obesity challenges, also saving
lives and improving life for many people.
• The acquisition of Sensidose AB, which gave Navamedic an innovative product to greatly improve the
quality of life for people with late stage Parkinson’s disease, a disease with increasing prevalence globally.
Navamedic is not just selling random medicinal products, we strive to live up to our vision of being a proud
contributor to public health. Our vision and portfolio of products have deeper meaning to us as we aim at supplying
products to combat societal health challenges such as obesity, Parkinson’s Disease, virus infections, erectile
dysfunction and pain, to mention a few. We have patient support programs and other initiatives such as ‘Lighter
together’, ‘6-in-1’ and ‘My control’, all aimed at helping both patients and health care professionals in their pursuit
of better health and life quality.
At the heart of our social responsibility initiatives is also our commitment to our employees. We recognize that our
success is intrinsically tied to the dedication and expertise of our team members, and as such, we prioritize creating
a culture of inclusion and non-discrimination, ensuring that every individual, regardless of race, gender, sexual
orientation, disability, or background, feels valued, respected, and empowered within our organization. Through
various initiatives, we strive to cultivate a workplace where every individual feels valued, empowered, and inspired
to contribute their best. Of total 42 employees in 2024, 25 are women and 17 are men. In late 2023, Navamedic
introduced a quarterly employee survey in order to gauge and measure the development of employee satisfaction
over time. The results show that Navamedic has a high level of employee satisfaction, in line with or above
benchmark results. It also shows a fairly steady, or slightly increasing, level of employee satisfaction.
Governance
Governance considerations remain at the forefront of corporate agendas, as businesses seek to enhance
transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct across their operations. Strengthening corporate governance
frameworks, fostering board diversity, and upholding rigorous standards of integrity have become paramount
objectives, ensuring that organizations uphold the highest standards of ethical behavior and decision-making.
Navamedic is continuously committed to conducting its business with the highest ethical standards and ensuring
compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Navamedic has structured its governance on transparency
23 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
principles that all relevant stakeholders need to adhere to, from our key suppliers to our customers, employees and
management.
Navamedic's Code of Conduct establishes the standard for both business and personal conduct expected from all
employees. It outlines our ethical expectations, commitments, and requirements applicable to all individuals
representing the company, regardless of their contractual relationship. This includes employees, management, the
Board of Directors, and relevant contractors. The Code of Conduct, approved by Navamedic’s Board of Directors,
covers essential topics such as business ethics, anti-corruption measures, workplace environment, and
environmental stewardship. Additionally, Navamedic adheres to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical
Industries and Associations (EFPIA) Disclosure Code. This commitment underscores our collaboration with
stakeholders like patient organizations, healthcare professionals, and governments to influence research,
regulatory decisions, and optimize medication use. Emphasizing transparency, EFPIA and its members advocate for
mandatory registration of lobbying organizations in the EU transparency register. Furthermore, we uphold EFPIA’s
disclosure provisions, ensuring transparent reporting of financial support to patient organizations across Europe.
Navamedic upholds ethical standards, complying with national and international laws and guidelines on human
and labor rights. We strictly prohibit corruption and bribery in any form, as outlined in our Code of Conduct. We
maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption in our daily operations and business interactions. Guidelines
are in place for accepting gifts or benefits, and all employees are expected to identify and address potential
conflicts of interest. The CEO holds ultimate responsibility for enforcing our ethical guidelines.
Further to Navamedic’s Code of Conduct, which provides the guidelines for employees internally, Navamedic also
has its Supplier Code, a comprehensive guideline and requirements for our suppliers describing Navamedic’s
expectations to our partners within various categories, including human rights and labor rights, health & safety,
sustainability, anti-bribery, child labor etc. We believe that having this document committed to by our partners
further strengthens our goal to work with suppliers whose business is run according to the highest standards.
Concluding remarks
Navamedic remains firmly committed to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and robust governance
practices. As we reflect on our current achievements, we take pride in the solid foundation we have established, but
we also recognize that our journey towards sustainability is ongoing. Looking ahead, we reaffirm our dedication to
continuous improvement, innovation, and transparency. Navamedic has also taken the first steps in becoming
CSRD compliant, performing a double materiality analysis to identify which sustainability areas affect Navamedic
the most, as well as which areas are the most affected by Navamedic. Navamedic is not as of yet required to comply
with and report according to CSRD, but we are on track to comply with the requirements, and we anticipate
reporting on this by the end of 2025.

All authorizations are effective until the annual general meeting in 2025, but no longer than and including 30 June
2025.
Equal treatment of shareholders and transactions with close
associates
The Company has one class of share and each share in the Company has one vote. The Company owned none of its
own shares as at 31 December 2024.
Pursuant to the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance, companies should have guidelines that
ensure that Board members and executive personnel report to the Board if they have, direct or indirect, significant
interests in an agreement entered into by the Company.
In the case of members of the Board of Navamedic, this is explicitly set out in the rules of procedure for the Board.
The Company's guidelines for ethics and corporate social responsibility, which apply to all employees and Board
members in the Group, contain guidelines for handling potential conflicts of interest.
The guidelines also stipulate that Navamedic's employees and the Board members should avoid having ownership
interests or Board positions in other enterprises if these could be deemed likely to weaken the loyalty to
Navamedic. Pursuant to the guidelines, questions concerning Board members' and executive personnel's Board
positions in companies that compete with Navamedic or that are business contacts of Navamedic, must always be
clarified with the Board of Navamedic.
Shares and negotiability
Pursuant to the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance, the articles of association should not
stipulate any restrictions on ownership.
The articles of association contain no restrictions on the negotiability of shares. Navamedic ASA is listed on the Oslo
Stock Exchange. Navamedic also actively strives to increase the interest in the Company to attract new investors.
27 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
General meetings
Navamedic held its annual general meeting on 4 June 2024.
The notice was sent prior to the 21 days deadline and contained descriptions of the items on the agenda and the
Board's proposed resolutions. The supporting documentation was prepared with the aim of enabling shareholders
to arrive at a view concerning the items on the agenda. The registration deadline was set in accordance with the
provision in the Company's articles of association. The notices described the procedures for taking part in and
casting votes at the general meetings, as well as attendance by proxy.
The proxy forms were designed such that votes could, to the extent possible, be cast concerning each item on the
agenda. In the proxy form a person was also proposed to act as a proxy for the shareholders.
The Chairman of the Board attended the annual general meeting in 2024. The Company's external auditor was also
present at the meeting.
Minutes of general meetings were published and made available under the Company's ticker on Newsweb and on
the Company's website www.navamedic.com shortly after the meeting.
Nomination committee
The nomination committee consists of chairman Bård Brath Ingerø, member Grete Hogstad and member Katarina
Hammar. The tasks and responsibilities of the Nomination Committee are defined as part of Navamedic’s corporate
governance regime.
The Board, composition and independence
The Board of Navamedic has five ordinary members in addition to the chairman, all of whom are elected by the
shareholders. The Board members and chairman of the Board are elected in the general meeting. No Board
members are elected for terms of more than two years at a time. None of the Company's Board members have any
special interests that prevent them from acting independently.
The Company's annual report contains information about the Board members' relevant experience and current
position. The Board members have varied experience from industries such as pharmaceuticals, finance, merger and
acquisitions, industry, and marketing. This experience was gained both in Norwegian and international companies,
both in private and public enterprises.

group. This is based on the Board's qualifications, capacity and diversity in relation to the business Navamedic
operates.

encouragement to own shares in the Company exists.
No Navamedic executive personnel sits on the Company's Board of directors.
28 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
The work of the Board of directors
The Board bears overarching responsibility for the management of the Company and supervision of the day- to-day
management and the Company's operations. Its main duties consist of formulating the Company's strategy and
following up the implementation of this strategy. The Board also performs control functions that ensure the
Company's asset management is prudent. The Board appoints the CEO.
Pursuant to the provisions of Norwegian company law, the Board has stipulated rules of procedure for the Board
that provide detailed rules for the Board's functions, duties, and responsibilities.
The Board has an annual plan for its work that particularly focuses on goals, strategy, and implementation. The
chairman of the Board is responsible for ensuring that the Board's work is executed effectively and correctly in
accordance with the law. For matters in which the chairman of the Board is, or has been, actively involved, another
Board member is nominated to chair the discussion such that the Company is assured an independent process.
A clear division of work between the Board and executive personnel has been established. The CEO is responsible
for the Company's operational management.
The Board holds a minimum of six Board meetings a year, one of which is a strategy meeting. Extraordinary Board
meetings are held as required to consider matters that cannot wait until the next ordinary Board meeting.
During 2024, 12 formal Board meetings were held, and the duties of the Board were also addressed through
updates via phone conferences, with and without the management team present.
The Board has established an audit committee as a sub-committee to the Board. Special rules and procedures have
been set out for this committee. The audit committee consists of two Board members who are independent of the
Company's day-to-day management team. The authorities governing the role and responsibilities of the Audit
committee has increased the tasks and responsibilities over the last years. The audit committee has taken steps to
ensure it can uphold compliance with its requirements.
The Board has also established an M&A committee as a sub-committee to the Board. The M&A committee consists
of two Board members, both of whom are independent of the Company’s daily operations.
The Board has the objective of conducting an annual evaluation of its work, working methods, and qualifications. A
similar evaluation is also conducted of the CEO.
Risk management and internal control
The Board's supervision must ensure that the Company has good internal control routines and appropriate systems
for risk management which corresponds to the scope and nature of the business being operated, including the
Company's values and guidelines for ethics and corporate social responsibility. The audit committee has particular
responsibility for monitoring risk management and internal control.
Navamedic is a relatively small company with a small management team, and with limited capacity. However, while
the Company's size and operations are not especially extensive, there are several aspects of operating in the
29 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
pharmaceutical industry that require robust routines related to internal control. The Company has established
routines to ensure satisfactory internal control and risk management.
The Board will ensure that routines for internal control and risk management are developed on an ongoing basis as
the scope of the Company's operations increases.
As part of its auditing services, the external auditor assesses whether there are any material weaknesses in the
internal control for financial reporting. The auditor takes part in the audit committee meetings as well as Board
meetings in connection with the annual accounts.
The management team emphasizes establishing good control routines in those areas that are of material
importance for financial reporting. The control routines are based on an authorization structure that defines roles
and responsibilities for each level of management, as well as guidelines for how one should ensure good internal
control, including satisfactory routines related to division of duties.
The Board receives regular financial reports in which the Company's economic and financial status is commented
on. The Company complies with the Oslo Stock Exchange's deadlines for interim reporting. The Company has
chosen not to issue interim reports in accordance with IAS 34, instead it prepares and publishes a presentation for
the 1
st
and 3
rd
quarters, in addition to the half-year report and annual report.
Accounting issues, should there be any, are analyzed immediately, and the external auditor is consulted if required.
An overview of relevant questions is presented to the Audit Committee and Board in connection with the
publication of interim presentations and half-year and annual reports.
Remuneration of the Board of directors

remuneration is independent of the Company's results and Board members do not have stock options in the
Company.

members have special duties in relation to the Company beyond their Board position and participation in the audit
committee, M&A committee and/or the remuneration committee.

The Board's statement on executive pay was approved by the general meeting on 4 June 2024.
30 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Procedures and authorizations for determining the remuneration of the corporate management team are governed
by the Company's rules of procedure for the Board.

statements and most audit committee meetings. At least one meeting a year is held between the auditor and Board
without the CEO nor other member of the Company’s executive management present.

corporate governance, the auditor shall each year provide the Board with written confirmation that they comply
with the requirements for independence and objectivity. The guidelines also stipulate that services from the auditor
beyond the mandatory audit and closely related advice must only be provided following a decision by the Board or
audit committee.

Note 2 – Significant accounting policies
In order to provide users of financial statements with better clarity over important accounting
policies and basis for preparation or judgement, Navamedic has included the necessary
information about material policies and estimates in the respective notes. This section outlines the
significant policies that are not included in the respective notes.
2.1 Framework for preparation of the financial statements
Navamedic's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting
Standards as adopted by the EU.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for shares held at
fair value through profit and loss.
The accounting policies applied, and the presentation of the consolidated financial information are consistent with
the previous annual financial statements for the year that ended 31 December 2023.
New and amended standards adopted by the group
New or amended standards and interpretations issued during the current period, effective from 1 January 2024, are
not expected to have material impact on the entity in the current or future periods.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
41 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued on 9 April 2024. IFRS 18 is not mandatory
for 31 December 2024 reporting period and has not been early adopted by the group. The group is in process of
assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on the groups reporting. Other new or amended accounting standards and
interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2024 reporting periods and has not
been early adopted by the group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the
current or future reporting periods.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group is a going concern.
2.2 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the
accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that
require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Other disclosures relating to the Group’s exposure to risks and uncertainties include:
• Financial risk management and capital management (Note 3)
• Goodwill and intangible assets (Note 8)
• Loan to Observe Medical (Note 18)
2.2.1 Judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which
have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:
2.2.1.a) Determining the classification and measurement of loans receivables
The Group has issued two loans to Observe Medical ASA, a principal loan from 2019 which is convertible at certain
conditions and a new loan from 2023. For both loans, the Group have applied the classification methodology in
accordance with IFRS 9 to assess classification and measurement of the loan receivables.
The Group has assessed whether the loans should be classified as financial instruments measured at amortised cost
or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of both:
• the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
The Group has evaluated these criteria and concluded to classify the financial instruments at amortised cost.
This assessment has been based on the fact that the group’s goal with its business model is solely to receive
contractual cash flows, and these cash flows consist only of interests and principal.
42 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
For the principal loan, the Group has applied judgement in assessing the impact on the conversion opportunity. The
Group recognizes the fact that the conversion opportunity can lead to a violation of SPPI requirements. The floor of
the conversion price, which is equal to the nominal value of the shares in Observe Medical ASA and volume-
weighted average in the conversion price (average share price over the last 10 trading days prior to the conversion
date) may be considered as criteria that point to a breach of the SPPI test as this can result in cash flows that will
not only amount to payment of principal and interests.
Conversion right
The principal loan has a conversion right where the floor of the conversion price is equal to the nominal value of the
shares in Observe Medical ASA and a volume-weighted average in the conversion price (average share price over the
last 10 trading days prior to the conversion date). The conversion option is subject to approval from the BoD of
Observe Medical ASA, which can refuse the conversion to shares and repay the loan instead, which means that no
direct conversion is present at the Group's discretion.
In assessing that the contractual cash flows are only payment of principal and interests, the Group has considered it
essential that the right of conversion functions as a mechanism to force early redemption (early settlement option),
and not as a conversion right that has value in itself. Any added value by converting the loans would, based on the
Group’s judgment, be random due to the conditions of applying the average share price last 10 trading days before
the conversion date. Shares could instead be bought directly in the market.
The conversion right has been assessed to in substance represent a security for which the Group can receive shares
with the same value as the outstanding loan amount if the conditions of the loans are not met by the loan taker.
The conversion right is a security mechanism for the settlement of outstanding debts.
The Group’s assessment is that the conversion right is intended to ensure settlement of interest and principal
amount, either in the form of cash or in the form of shares with an equivalent value, by which the loan is considered
to be satisfy the SPPI criteria in the future.
Therefore, the loan receivables have been classified and measured at amortised cost. Refer to Note 18 for more
details about the loans and the basis for measurement.
2.2.1.b) Impairment losses on loan receivables
In determining the expected credit losses (ECL), the Group makes the following judgments:
Significant increase in credit risk (SICR):
• In assessing whether a SICR has occurred for an exposure since initial recognition, the Group considers
both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis. In doing so, the Group makes judgements
about the appropriate indicators used as SICR triggers. The triggers that the Group has determined as
appropriate include movement in probability of default (PD) and other qualitative factors, such as a default
or past due event, or the loan becoming forborne. See Note 18 for further details.
Multiple economic scenarios:
• The Group in its measurement of ECLs makes judgements about the type and number of scenarios in order
to reflect the Group’s exposure to credit risk and the probability for the scenarios to occur. For example,
43 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
the Group has determined that 3 scenarios are appropriate; going concern, restructuring and liquidation.
See Note 16 for further disclosures relating to the different scenarios.
Definition of Default:
• Significant judgement exists with regards to assessing when the loan receivables are considered to have
defaulted, and in assessing the parameters of ECL model such as probability of default (PD), loss given
default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD). See Note 18.
Other judgements in the determination of ECL include the development of the Group’s ECL model, the
choice of inputs, for example which inputs are relevant assessing the exposure, see note 18 for further
details.
2.2.1.c) Fair value
Significant judgement is exercised in the measurement of fair value instruments as level 3 since the valuation of
such instruments is driven by significant unobservable inputs.
2.2.2 Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date,
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters
available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions
about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond
the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount,
which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The fair value less costs of disposal
calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets
or observable market prices less incremental costs of disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based
on a DCF model. The cash flows are derived from the forecast for the next five years and do not include
restructuring activities the Group is not yet committed to nor significant future investments that will enhance the
performance of the assets of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used
for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.
These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the
Group. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs, including a
sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 8.
Provision for expected credit losses of loan receivable
The Group’s ECL calculations are outputs based on a number of underlying assumptions regarding the different
inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL calculation that involve assumptions and estimate
uncertainty include:
• The weightings assigned to the multiple economic scenarios in order to reflect the exposure to credit risk
44 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
• The value of specific economic inputs included in the assessment, such as the financial risk of Observe
Medical and the company’s ability to obtain necessary funding and commercialize their products, and the
effect on PDs, EADs and LGDs. See note 18 for an analysis of the inputs to the ECL model
• In addition to the judgements outlined above with regards to SICR triggers, there is also an assessment of
qualitative criteria to determine if there has been a significant increase or decrease in credit risk. These
factors result in significant estimation uncertainty
The Group will regularly review its model in the context of actual loss experience and adjust when necessary. Refer
to 18 for further details on ECLs.
2.3 Consolidation policies
A subsidiary is a company over which Navamedic ASA (directly or indirectly) has control. Control is attained when
Navamedic is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its engagement in a company in which it has
invested and is able to influence this return by exercising power over the Company. Power means existing rights
that currently provide Navamedic with the ability to steer relevant activities, i.e. the activities that affect, to a
significant degree, the return from the Company that has been invested in. All subsidiaries are owned 100% and
there are no minority interests.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when the Group attains control and consolidation ceases when control
of the subsidiary ceases.
2.4 Translation of foreign currency
a) Functional currency and presentation currency
The accounts of the individual units in the Group are measured in the currency that is mainly used in the
economic area in which the unit operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in NOK, which is both the parent company's functional currency and its presentation currency.
b) Transactions and balance sheet items
Transactions in foreign currency are translated to the functional currency using the transaction's exchange
rate. Realized currency gains and losses that arise during the settlement and translation of monetary items
in foreign currency at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date are recognized through profit or loss.
Currency gains and losses are presented (net) as financial income or financial expenses.
c) Group companies
The income statements and balance sheets of group companies with functional currencies different from
the presentation currency are translated in the following way:
a) balance sheets are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.
b) income statements are translated using the average exchange rate for the year.
c) translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and specified in equity as a
separate item.
45 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Goodwill and excess values upon the acquisition of a foreign unit are treated as assets and liabilities in the acquired
unit and translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation differences that arise are
recognized in other comprehensive income.
2.5 Correction of error
Navamedic announced on the 28th of April 2025, that the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway
(NFSA) has concluded an assessment of the 2023 financial statements and the interim 4th quarter 2024 figures. The
NFSA assessment was that there were misstatements in the annual financial statements for 2023 and in the interim
financial statements for 2024 related to the Company's accounting of the two loans Navamedic has to Observe
Medical ASA, interest on those loans and the information provided in the notes to the accounts. Navamedic has
complied with the NFSA assessment and corrected the accounts accordingly.
The Group concluded based on an assessment of a variety of instances that the loans to Observe Medical ASA were
credit impaired as per 31 December 2023. The Group’s assessment concludes that the loans had defaulted and been
assessed as stage 3 for ECL calculations in the second half of 2023. Consequently, the loan receivables, interest
income and the profit for the year were overstated in the financial statements for 2023.
The errors have been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior periods
as follows:
Impact on equity (increase / decrease (-) in equity)
(in NOK '1000) 31.12.2023 Non-current loans receivable -16,990 Total non-current assets -16,990 Total assets -16,990 Net impact on equity -16,990

Note 3 – Financial risk management and capital management
The Group's operations expose it to various types of financial risk, including, but not limited to market risk
(including currency risk, variable interest risk and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group focuses on
minimizing the potential negative effects unforeseeable movements in the capital markets can have on the Group's
financial results.
The Group's risk management is performed by the management team in accordance with company risk policy
approved by the Board.
a) Market risk
Operational risk
The Group is exposed to operational risk. The Group believes that such a risk will primarily arise in relation to
the development of future sales of the Company's products, measured in terms of both price and volume.
Factors that can influence market risk include increased competition, instructions to reduce prices from the
authorities, and competition from existing and future pharmaceuticals within the Company's range of
therapies.
The Company depends on supply and distribution from suppliers. The Company has supply and distribution
agreements with suppliers in which the term of the agreement varies from three to eight years. The Company is
dependent on renewing these agreements at market prices and on market terms and conditions and is
therefore in continuous dialogue with the suppliers to ensure they are renewed.
The Group is exposed to risk related to pandemic outbreaks like Covid-19. However, based on the existing
portfolio of products, the Company is probably less prone to be affected to the same extent as many other
companies. The demand for most of the Company’s products, except for some Consumer Health products, is
less likely to be affected since the end users typically use the products based on needs and cannot easily stop
using them. There is a risk that some products’ production and delivery could be affected in the event of long
term shut down.
Navamedic is exposed to risk related to outbreak of war, like the current war in Ukraine. Navamedic has no
direct business relation with neither Ukraine nor Russia, however, if the war has negative effect on prices of raw
47 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
material or transportation costs, this will likely have an effect on Navamedic, although it is difficult to assess to
what extent.
Navamedic owns shares in Observe Medical ASA, a company listed on Oslo Euronext Growth trading exchange.
As is the case with any company’s share, the share price and value is subject to fluctuations stemming from one
or more of the following factors: Economic down-turns, share trading and speculation, inability to comply to its
financial and other obligations, liquidity challenges and more. Hence there is a not insignificant risk, as well as
upside potential related to the value of the shares as recorded in the Navamedic accounts.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk. A significant proportion of the Group's revenue and expenses are in
currencies other than the functional currency in the individual entities (mostly NOK, SEK, DKK and EUR).
Materials are generally paid for in EUR, SEK, GBP, USD, DKK and NOK. Most of the sales in Navamedic AB take
place in Nordic currencies and EUR. Payroll and operating expenses are generally incurred in the currency of
the country in which the individual company is registered. The Group has not adopted specific currency
hedging strategies in relation to operations. Over the last two years, the value of NOK vs EUR and SEK has
decreased. Although difficult to pinpoint due to several other factors affecting the margin, Navamedic’s Gross
Margin of Navamedic has fluctuated up to 1.3 percentage points from the changes in currency. This means that
the currency risk, although not zero, is not very significant unless there are very material changes to the
currency rates.
Variable interest rate risk
The interest rate on the Group’s loans is variable. The Group manages the variable interest rates risk by
entering into the interest rate hedge agreement with Nordea. Please refer to note 20 for more details about the
loan terms and interest rate hedging. This means that Navamedic does not bear significant risk related to
changes in interest rates. Fluctuations in interest rates also do not pose a significant risk on Navamedic’s bank
deposits.
b) Credit risk
The Group is exposed to concentrations of credit risk for non-current loans receivable. For trade receivables
and other current receivables the Group is not exposed to significant risk given the short-term nature of these
receivables. Routines have been introduced to ensure products are sold to customers with satisfactory
creditworthiness. The Company's customers are largely public enterprises and larger pharmacy chains that
represent a low credit risk. The level of sales directly to consumers is relatively low. See also note 10, which
shows when the Group's receivables fall due.
c) Capital management
For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and all
other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Group’s
capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and
the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust
the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
48 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
The Group has established a revolving credit facility to manage its working capital.
d) Liquidity risk
The Group’s liquidity risk is considered low to moderate as at 31 December, and the Group’s liquidity situation
as at 31 December 2024 is considered to be satisfactory. As at 31 December 2024, the Group had NOK 37 million
in cash and cash equivalents (NOK 38 million as at 31 December 2023). The Group has outstanding loans of NOK
94 million as well as an outstanding overdraft facility of NOK 20 million as of 31.12.2024. The Group continually
monitors the liquidity risk associated with the due dates for financial liabilities. Expected cash flows from
interests on liabilities to financial institutions are based on an interest rate of 6.9% for all years.
The table below illustrates the maturity structure of liabilities:

Note 4 – Segment information and revenue from contracts
with customers
Operating segments are identified based on the reporting the management team uses to evaluate performance
and profitability at a strategic level. Navamedic has only one segment, the Pharma and healthcare division. The
reporting structure reflects the Company’s business and product composition. The Pharma and healthcare
division consists of pharmaceuticals and medical nutrition products that Navamedic markets, sells and
distributes to hospitals, pharmacies and patients, bought from product suppliers and manufacturers in Europe
and other places. Navamedic’s chief operating decision maker is the CEO.
Navamedic distributes and delivers pharmaceuticals and other products to hospitals and pharmacies, mainly
in the Nordic region, but also in a number of other countries in Europe. Revenues are measured based on the
transaction price specified in a contract with a customer. The Group’s revenues are generated from the sale of
goods, and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the goods transfers to the customer,
typically when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer. Revenues from outlicensing of products
owned by Navamedic are recognized when milestones are reached.
Navamedic classifies its products into three product categories:
• The RX area comprises Navamedic’s prescription products and categories, including obesity, urology,
neurology, and cardiology products such as Mysimba® (prescription pharmaceutical for treatment of
obesity), Elmiron®/Gepan® (products for the treatment of painful bladder syndrome), Flexilev (microtablets
for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease) and cardiology products such as Imdur® (used to prevent angina
pectoris), Nitrolingual (acute relief of angina pectoris).
• The Consumer Health area comprises Navamedic’s over-the-counter products, available to patients
without a prescription in the pharmacies or drugstore (NL only), the area includes obesity (Modifast –
products for meal replacement), gastro (brands such as Alflorex, SmectaGo and ForlaxGo), pain
(ThermaCare), cough&cold and intimate health.
• Hospital products included in tenders such as a broad portfolio of niched medical nutrition products for
rare diseases such as Phenylketonuria, and intravenous antibiotics for hospital use.

Note 5 – Business combinations
The acquisition method is used for acquisitions of business. The consideration is measured at the fair value of the
assets transferred, liabilities assumed, and equity instruments issued. The fair value of all assets or liabilities
according to the agreement on contingent consideration is also included in the remuneration. Identifiable assets,
liabilities, and contingent liabilities are recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date. Acquisitions-related
costs linked business combinations are recognized as expenses when they are incurred. If the sum of the
remuneration, fair value of earlier assets, and any fair value of minority interests exceeds the fair value of
identifiable net assets in the acquired company, the difference is capitalized as goodwill.
Business combinations in 2023
On 29 March 2023, Navamedic submitted a cash offer to acquire all shares in Sensidose AB, a Sweden-based
pharmaceutical company that sells drugs in combination with an innovative device for individual dosing, targeting
patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. By 22 April, Navamedic acquired 57.2% of the shares and launched a
mandatory public tender offer (MTO) for the remaining outstanding shares. Following the expiry of MTO on 26 May,
Navamedic acquired 96.33% of the shares in Sensidose AB as well as 93.16% of the series T01 warrants. By the end
of 2023, Navamedic owned 100% of the shares in Sensidose AB.
The total transaction price for 100% of the shares was NOK 102.5 million. Acquisition-related cost (transaction cost)
of NOK 16.1 million is reported as other operating expense. Following the final purchase price allocation (PPA), the
fair value of other intangible assets is measured to NOK 48.6 million established and is based on estimated royalty

Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible assets
The Group’s intangible assets consist of the following: Licenses (product rights) and marketing authorizations
Navamedic holds rights to market and sell specific products in defined geographical areas. Investments related to
such licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic life, which typically range
between five to ten years. Navamedic further distributes a number of products through wholesalers on behalf of
rights holders. Investments related to obtaining such marketing authorizations are amortized on a straight-line
basis over their expected useful economic life, which typically range between five to ten years. For products that are
under registration, the amortization of the cost of acquisition commences upon launch and is amortized over the
period of the agreement.
Other intangible assets
Majority of Group`s other intangible assets relate to the patents for the products that Sensidose AB owns and
develops. The costs are capitalized when they meet the requirements to be considered as the development costs
and amortization commences once the product is ready for market and necessary regulatory approvals are
obtained.

Test for impairment losses for cash generating units that contain goodwill
Goodwill originates from the purchase of Vitaflo AB, Impolin AB, Sensidose AB and other minor acquisitions,
including Novicus Pharma AS. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to the Group's
cash generating units ('CGU'), being the Pharma and Sensidose division with the following carrying value at
31.12.2024:
▪ Pharma division: NOK 109 million
▪ Sensidose division: NOK 50 million
Impairment test – Pharma division
Impairment testing is based on value-in-use calculations, determined by discounting the estimated future cash
flows to be generated by the CGU. The test is based on the book value of the CGUs at 31.12.2024 compared to the
estimated value calculated on the basis of discounted future cash flows. The 2025-2029 business plan is used, with
an average revenue growth of 9%, after which it is assumed a 1.0% growth. A discount rate pre-tax of 9.6% was used
to discount future cash flows. The resulting EBITDA margin is, on average, 11% based on the business plan for 2025-
2029. The estimated value of the CGU exceeded the book value at 31.12.2024, therefore resulting in no write-down
of goodwill. In addition to the discounted cash flow estimation, sensitivity analysis showed that even with a
significantly more conservative view, the estimated value would still not result in a write-down. Key assumptions
include moderate growth in the revenue according to the above-mentioned during the period, together with the
estimated EBITDA margin and the level of the discount rate. Additionally, neither reasonably possible negative
changes in the growth assumption, nor reasonably possible negative changes in the EBITDA margin would lead to
an impairment. Also, a reasonably possible increase in the discount rate after tax would not give rise to impairment.
Impairment test – Sensidose
Impairment testing is based on value-in-use calculations, determined by discounting the estimated future cash
flows to be generated by the CGU. Cash flows include sales from launch of new products in existing and new
markets by distribution from both Navamedic and an exclusive partner in selective markets. The test is based on
the book value of the goodwill at 31.12.2024 compared to the estimated value calculated on the basis of discounted
future cash flows. The 2025-2032 business plan is used, with an average revenue growth of 99%, after which it is
assumed a 1.0% growth. A period of seven years is used to reflect that the products are in launch stage and will not
reach steady state within a five year period as we expect to launch the products in additional geographies over the
next 2-3 years. A discount rate pre-tax of 9.6% was used to discount future cash flows. EBITDA margin during the
explicit period is, on average, 40% while in the terminal value it is set to 52% based on the business plan for 2025-
2032. The margin of the products is higher than average and will increase gradually during launch / investment
stage and reach higher margin in steady state. The estimated value of the CGU exceeded the book value at
31.12.2024, therefore resulting in no write-down of goodwill. In addition to the discounted cash flow estimation,
sensitivity analysis showed that even with a significantly more conservative view, the estimated value would still
not result in a write-down. Key assumptions include moderate growth in the revenue according to the above-
mentioned during the period, together with the estimated EBITDA margin and the level of the discount rate.
Additionally, neither reasonably possible negative changes in the growth assumption, nor reasonably possible
negative changes in the EBITDA margin would lead to an impairment. Also, a reasonably possible increase in the
discount rate after tax would not give rise to impairments.

Note 9 – Right of use assets and liabilities
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. The Group applies a single
recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right of use assets are measured
at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease
liabilities. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of
lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid
under residual value guarantees. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its estimated
incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not
readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the
accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities
is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in
the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment
(i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a
purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment
that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are
recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 10 – Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables arise from sales of goods or services within the ordinary business cycle. If settlement is expected
within one year or less (or in the ordinary business cycle if this is longer), the receivables are classified as current
assets. If this is not the case, the receivables are classified as non-current receivables.
Trade receivables are measured at the transaction price upon initial recognition. In subsequent measurements,
trade receivables are measured at amortized cost, less provisions for expected credit losses. For trade receivables
and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses (ECLs). Therefore,
the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at
each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss
experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 30 days.
The Group has a trade receivable financing agreement with Avida Finans AB.

December 2024, and as such the carrying amount is considered not to be significantly different from the fair value.
The discount rate applied to the calculation of amortized cost for non-current license liabilities is considered not to
be significantly different from the market cost of capital as of 31 December 2024, and as such the carrying amount is
considered not to be significantly different from the fair value. See note 20 for information regarding non-cash

64 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
All pay and remuneration in the Group are based on the gross pay principle, meaning that any tax consequences of
remuneration individuals receive are not the concern of the Group.
The main principle in Navamedic's executive pay policy is that executive personnel will be offered competitive
terms and conditions. The Group aims to offer a level of pay that reflects an average pay level in small
pharmaceutical companies in the Nordic region.
As a guideline, executive personnel can be awarded remuneration in addition to their basic salary (bonus), but this
is limited to 75% of the annual salary and linked to the achievement of specific targets, and at the same time such
that total compensation is within the average. Any bonuses to the CEO must be determined by the Board.
Executive personnel can only be awarded options for the acquisition of/subscription to shares in the Company.
The Company offers defined contribution-based pensions to all employees. Some executive personnel have been
awarded share options. See note 22.
The CEO and CFO are subject to notice periods of 6 months. The CEO has a termination payment agreement of 12
months.

Note 18– Loan to Observe Medical ASA
Navamedic has entered into two loan agreements with Observe Medical ASA as borrower for; i) a convertible loan
(with specific conditions) with an outstanding principal amount of NOK 32,000,000 plus accrued interest, entered
into on 27 September 2019 and ii) a loan with an outstanding principal amount of NOK 5,000,000 plus accrued
interest (liquidity loan), entered into on 6 September 2023 secured with collateral in shares in Biim Ultrasound AS (a
subsidiary of Observe Medical ASA).
The loans are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost based on judgment, by considering the
Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial assets to give
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding. Refer to note 2.2.1 for more information on this judgmental assessment.
Assessment of increase in credit risk:
When assessing the estimated credit loss, the Group have assessed whether a significant increase in credit risk has
occurred and the timing of the facts and circumstances leading to a conclusion that a significant increase in credit
risk has occurred, assessing both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis of Observe Medical ASA.
Assessment as per 31 December 2023:
As a part of a qualitative assessment of whether the loans were credit-impaired as per 31December 2023, the Group
considered a variety of instances that indicated that the loans were credit-impaired.
The following circumstances indicated that a loan (financial asset) is credit impaired:
i. significant financial difficulty;
ii. a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
iii. Amendments to a loan agreement as a result of financial difficulty
When such events occur, the Group has considered whether the events should result in treating the borrower as
defaulted and therefore assessed as stage 3 for ECL calculations or whether Stage 2 is appropriate. Such events
have been:
• Observe Medical initiated in beginning of 2023 discussions with its creditors to enter into agreements to
defer payments
• In the first half of 2023, the borrower informed that they failed to meet the growth targets and that there
was uncertainty about funding and the ability to meet future obligations
• The financial difficulties of the borrower resulted in the principal loan from 2019 with face value NOK 32
million being forborne and amended in September 2023 with an extended loan terms
• The borrower requested emergency funding by taking out a liquidity loan from the Group in September
2023
• The borrower executed a rights issue in November 2023 aiming to raise between MNOK 18 to MNOK 55 in
gross proceeds to cover short term liquidity needs
66 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
• Further delays in commercialization of both Sippi and Biim (the products) resulting in lack of increase of
revenues during 2023
• Significant decrease in market capitalization of Observe Medical ASA during 2023
The Group’s assessment concludes that the loans had defaulted and been assessed as stage 3 for ECL calculations.
The renegotiations of the loans in September 2023 resulted in recognition of a modification effect of a net gain of
MNOK 1.1 after assessing the expected cash flows before and after negotiations discounted by the initial effective
interest rate. As the calculated effect was below 10%, the loans were not derecognized/recognized.
Assessment as per 31 December 2024:
The Group continued to assess the development of Observe Medical’s financial situation into 2024 by making the
same qualitative assessment of whether the loans still were credit impaired. The Group considered whether the
events should result in treating the loans as continued to be defaulted and therefore assessed as stage 3 for ECL
calculations or whether Stage 2 would be appropriate. Such events assessed were:
• Observe Medical completed a Private Placement in June 2024 obtaining cash of MNOK 22 in which
Navamedic did not participate
• In relation to the “subsequent offering” in November 2024 Observe Medical issued a Prospectus and
obtained MNOK 0.9 in cash from new investors. In relation to that process, Navamedic decided to convert
MNOK 16.4 to shares in Observe Medical
• Continued financial difficulties of Observe Medical resulted in renegotiations of both the principal loan and
accrued interests and the liquidity loan and accrued interests in November 2024. Maturity dates were
postponed for both interest and principal payments
• Further delays in commercialization of both Sippi and Biim, and revenues from the Unometer-portfolio had
not materialized significantly during 2024
• Observe Medical reported as per year-end 2024 still significant uncertainty related to the liquidity situation
and the assessment of going concern
• Continued decrease in market capitalization of Observe Medical ASA during 2024
The Group’s assessment concludes that Observe Medical’s financial situation worsened during 2024, the loans
continued to be in default and were still assessed at stage 3.
The renegotiations of the loans in November 2024 resulted in recognition of a modification effect of a net gain of
TNOK 693 after assessing the expected cash flows before and after negotiations discounted by the initial effective
interest rate. Due to that the calculated effect was below 10%, the loans were not derecognized/recognized.
The conversion of loan to shares in November 2024 resulted in a reduction of gross carrying amount of MNOK 16.4.
Measurement of expected credit loss for credit-impaired financial instruments
Based on the fact that Observe Medical have not been able to fulfil their obligations, the Group have assessed that
default have occurred, and the loan receivables continue to be credit-impaired, resulting in that probability of
default have been assessed to be 100 per cent.
The estimated credit loss (ECL) is the allowance for the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due
to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted at
67 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
the original effective interest rate. The Group have estimated cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the
financial instrument through the expected life of that financial instrument. The cash flows that are considered
include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual
terms.
The ECL allowance is estimated based on the weighted average of credit losses with from the different scenarios.
The scenarios represent the Groups assessment of actual scenarios for the borrowers financial difficulties. The
Group has assessed and identified three scenarios considered to be relevant:
• Going concern: All debt is repaid without concessions in the form of debt conversion or write-offs.
The credit loss in this scenario is zero.
• Restructuring: The borrower must restructure the capital structure to maintain going concern, and
what is the credit loss for the Group in such a restructuring
• Liquidation: The borrower is liquidated through bankruptcy, orderly liquidation etc., and what is
the credit loss for the Group in this scenario
The credit loss within the restructuring scenario will be dependent on the expected debt level that may be agreed
upon with the stakeholders in a restructuring. The credit loss in the liquidation scenario will be dependent on the
expected realization value of collateral given a sale of assets for example, as part of bankruptcy or orderly
liquidation process.
The Group has assessed a scenario where the principal loan with interests is further partly or fully converted to
shares in order to reduce the risk of credit loss of the loan receivable. The group consider the investment in Observe
Medical to be a financial investment and have no strategic intention of increasing the shareholdings in the
company. The conversion right has been assessed to be a security but the purpose and intention is to have the
loans repaid. Although conversion to share (if conditions are met) may impact and possibly reduce ECL, the
subsequent ownership of the shares post conversion may negatively impact P/L especially in a scenario where the
Group does not intend to hold the shares for a longer period of time.
For exposures in stage 3 where ECL is measured individually, judgement is applied when determining assumptions
for determining the probability and credit loss for the different scenarios. The judgement is mainly related to
determination of probabilities of different scenarios.
Navamedic has for 2024 measured an expected credit loss of NOK 32.5 million at 31.12.2024, which represents an
increase of NOK 14.4 million, compared with the expected credit loss of NOK 18.1 million at 31.12.2023.

Navamedic received a secured loan of NOK 110 million from Nordea in April 2023. Navamedic has provided the
following collaterals:
▪ Pledge in shares of the subsidiaries and inventories
▪ Second priority pledge in factoring receivables
The Nordea loan is subject to the following covenants:
▪ Net interest-bearing debt should not exceed 2.75 x consolidated LTM EBITDA
▪ Capital expenditure should not exceed NOK 10 million on an annual basis
Both covenants are tested quarterly. The Group has no indication that it will have difficulty complying with these
covenants for the next 12 months. Net interest-bearing debt is defined as interest-bearing debt adjusted for cash.

Note 25 – Subsequent events
The European Medicines Agency's (EMA) human medicines committee (CHMP) concluded its review of Mysimba
(naltrexone/bupropion), affirming that the benefits of the medicine continue to outweigh its risks for weight
management in adults with obesity or overweight.
Navamedic ASA announced on April 10, 2025 that the company has entered into an agreement in principle
regarding the outstanding loans to Observe Medical ASA. The agreement reduces the loans by 50% with an
adjustment to the payment plan as long as certain conditions are met.
The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (the "NFSA") has assessed that there are misstatements in the
annual financial statements for 2023 and in the interim financial statements for 2024 related to the Company's
accounting of the two loans Navamedic has to Observe Medical ASA, interest on those loans and the information
provided in the notes to the accounts. Navamedic has complied with the imposition from the NFSA and both the
2023 financial statements and the 2024 financial statements in this report reflect these changes.
In the beginning of April 2025, the United States announced the imposition of significant increased tariffs on a wide
variety of goods and services imported to the USA from most of its trading partners, leading to uncertainty and
world-wide negative effects on most stock exchanges. At the time of the publishing of this report, Navamedic’s
operations has not been affected by this and the company does not believe it will have significant negative impact
in the foreseeable future for a couple of reasons: The Navamedic supply chain is for the most part situated in
Europe, requiring no assembly or parts crossing into the USA borders. The demand for Navamedic’s products is not
very elastic nor does it correlates strongly with a cyclical downturn in economic conditions in its core markets.
74 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Note 26 – Tax expense and deferred tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or
receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to
income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognized for:
– temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
– temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to
the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences
and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
– taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences
to the extent that convincing evidence exists that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be
used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the
amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognize a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable
profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for
individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the
extent that convincing evidence no longer that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed
when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent convincing
evidence that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax is measured at
the tax rates expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the
Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is recognizable involves a significant degree of judgment in determining
the likelihood of utilization against future taxable results within the various tax jurisdictions in which the Group
operates.
As of 31.12.2024 the Group has no deferred tax assets recognized for tax losses carry forward. There are, however
tax losses carry forward in Sensidose AB of SEK 135 million for which no deferred tax losses are recognized since, as
of 31.12.2024, there is no convincing evidence as to what extent these losses can be utilized.

The effective tax rate in 2024 is higer than the corporate income tax rate in the markets where the Group operates
(20%-22%) primarily due to non-dedcutible impairment loss and expense related to the change in fair value of
financial investment. The effective tax rate in 2023 is higher primarily due to non-deductible transactions cost,
expense related to the change in fair value of financial investment and the reported loss in Sensidose AB.

the financial statements
2024
84 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Summary of significant accounting policies
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act and good accounting
practice.
Sales revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the remuneration, net after deductions for discounts, returns, and VAT.
Revenue is recognized through profit or loss when it can be reliably measured, and it is likely that the financial
benefits will flow to the Company. Estimates related to revenue recognition are based on history and assessments
of the type of customer and transaction, as well as the specific circumstances surrounding each transaction.
The Company has an agreement on royalties from its subsidiaries Navamedic AB and Navamedic AS. The Company
holds the rights to various products that are resold by the subsidiary and thereby earns royalties. The royalties are
based on actual sales in Navamedic AB and Navamedic AS. The Company also charges subsidiaries for services
relating to sales management, marketing and regulatory management, as well as financial and accounting
management.
Subsidiaries
In Navamedic ASA’s annual financial statements, subsidiaries are measured using the cost method less any
impairment.
Classification and measurement of balance sheet items
Current assets and current liabilities include balance sheet items that fall due for payment within one year of the
balance sheet date and are associated with the with the daily business operations. Other items are classified as
tangible and intangible fixed assets or non-current liabilities. Current assets are measured at the lower of
acquisition cost and fair value. Current liabilities are recognized at nominal amount at the time of initial
recognition. Fixed assets are measured at acquisition cost but are written down to fair value if the impairment is not
expected to be temporary. Non-current liabilities are initially recognized at nominal amount.
Non-current loan receivables
Loan receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at nominal value less provisions for potential loss. Provisions for
potential loss are based on an individual assessment. See note 18 in the Group financial statements for details
about the basis for the provision.
Receivables
Trade receivables are recorded on the balance sheet at their nominal amount less deductions for provisions for
expected losses. Provisions for expected losses are made on the basis of an individual assessment of each
receivable.
Other receivables are subject to a corresponding assessment.
85 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
Other current financial assets
Short term investments (stocks and shares seen as current assets) are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and
fair value at the balance sheet date. For investments in listed shares, the market value is determined at the last
available quoted closing price on the balance sheet date. Change in market value is presented in the income
statement as part of the financial items. Dividends and other distributions are recognized as other financial income.
Currency
Monetary items in foreign currency are measured using the exchange rate at the end of the accounting year.
Pension scheme
The Company has a defined-contribution pension plan. The cost of the plan is recognized through profit or loss
when the liability occurs.
Financial risk management
For further information about financial risk management please refer to note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Share-based remuneration
The Company has the option of awarding share-based remuneration to some executive personnel. The total
amount that must be recognized as an expense over the qualifying period is calculated on the basis of the fair value
of the awarded options.
Intangible assets
Licenses (product rights) and marketing authorizations
Navamedic holds rights to market and sell specific products in defined geographical areas. Investments related to
such licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic life, which typically range
between five to ten years.
Navamedic further distributes a number of products through wholesalers on behalf of rights holders. Investments
related to obtaining such marketing authorizations are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful
economic life, which typically range between five to ten years. For products that are under registration, the
amortization of the cost of acquisition commences upon launch and is amortized over the period of the agreement.
Other intangible assets
Navamedic invests in information technology assets intended to products and marketing. Furthermore,
investments in licenses and marketing authorizations where the products in question have not yet been launched
due to regulatory or other reasons, are classified as other intangible assets until launch.
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are recognized if it is more than 50% likely that a settlement will be forthcoming. The value of
the settlement is based on a best estimate. Contingent consideration linked to future settlement clauses in the
Observe Medical acquisition is deemed to be an uncertain liability and not a conditional liability. The best estimate
86 | Annual report 2024, Navamedic ASA
of the settlement amount is updated on each balance sheet date and the change is recognized through profit or
loss.
Use of estimates
Preparing financial statements in accordance with good accounting practice requires the management team to
produce estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as
explanatory notes concerning contingent assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates
and assumptions.
Tax
The parent company’s tax expense for 2024 is calculated on the basis of 22%. The tax expense in the income
statement covers both the period’s tax payable and the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated on the
basis of the temporary differences that exist between accounting values and tax values, as well as the tax loss
carried forward at the end of the accounting year. Tax increasing and tax reducing temporary differences that are
reversed or may be reversed in the same period are offset and recorded net. The deferred tax assets are recorded
after taking into account future revenue in the Company.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank
deposits.
Correction of error
Navamedic announced on the 28th of April 2025, that the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway
(NFSA) has concluded an assessment of the 2023 financial statements and the interim 4th quarter 2024 figures. The
NFSA assessment was that there were misstatements in the annual financial statements for 2023 and in the interim
financial statements for 2024 related to the Company's accounting of the two loans Navamedic has to Observe
Medical ASA, interest on those loans and the information provided in the notes to the accounts. Navamedic has
complied with the NFSA assessment and corrected the accounts accordingly.
Navamedic ASA concluded based on an assessment of a variety of instances that the loans to Observe Medical ASA
were credit impaired as per 31 December 2023. Consequently, the loan receivables, interest income and the profit
for the year were overstated in the financial statements for 2023.
The errors have been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior periods

Note 12 – Financial items
Navamedic has entered into two loan agreements with Observe Medical ASA as borrower for; i) a convertible loan
(with specific conditions) with an outstanding principal amount of NOK 32,000,000 plus accrued interest, entered
into on 27 September 2019 and ii) a loan with an outstanding principal amount of NOK 5,000,000 plus accrued
interest (liquidity loan), entered into on 6 September 2023 secured with collateral in shares in Biim Ultrasound AS (a
subsidiary of Observe Medical ASA).
The loans are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost based on judgment, by considering the
Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial assets to give
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding.
When assessing the estimated credit loss, the Group have assessed whether a significant increase in credit risk has
occurred and the timing of the facts and circumstances leading to a conclusion that a significant increase in credit
risk has occurred, assessing both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis of Observe Medical ASA.
Navamedic has for 2024 measured a provision of loss of NOK 43.0 million at 31.12.2024, which represents an
increase of NOK 25.6 million, compared with a provision of loss of NOK 17.4 million at 31.12.2023. The conversion of
loan to shares in November 2024 resulted in a reduction of gross carrying amount of MNOK 16.4, resulting in a gain
at derecognition of 13.7 million.

Navamedic received a secured loan of NOK 110 million from Nordea in April 2023. Navamedic has provided the
following collaterals:
▪ Pledge in shares of the subsidiaries and inventories
▪ Second priority pledge in factoring receivables
The Nordea loan is subject to the following covenants:
▪ Net interest-bearing debt should not exceed 2.75 x consolidated LTM EBITDA
▪ Capital expenditure should not exceed NOK 10 million on an annual basis
Both covenants are tested quarterly. Navamedic has no indication that it will have difficulty complying with these
covenants for the next 12 months. Net interest-bearing debt is defined as interest-bearing debt adjusted for cash.
The loan is to be partly repaid through 8 half-yearly installments of NOK 7.9 million each, starting in April 2024, with
the remaining amount of NOK 47.1 million due in April 2028. In addition, Navamedic secured a revolving credit
facility of up to NOK 35 million.

Note 14 – Subsequent events
The European Medicines Agency's (EMA) human medicines committee (CHMP) concluded its review of Mysimba
(naltrexone/bupropion), affirming that the benefits of the medicine continue to outweigh its risks for weight
management in adults with obesity or overweight.
Navamedic ASA announced on April 10, 2025 that the company has entered into an agreement in principle
regarding the outstanding loans to Observe Medical ASA. The agreement reduces the loans by 50% with an
adjustment to the payment plan as long as certain conditions are met.
The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (the "NFSA") has assessed that there are misstatements in the
annual financial statements for 2023 and in the interim financial statements for 2024 related to the Company's
accounting of the two loans Navamedic has to Observe Medical ASA, interest on those loans and the information
provided in the notes to the accounts. Navamedic has complied with the imposition from the NFSA and both the
2023 financial statements and the 2024 financial statements in this report reflect these changes.
In the beginning of April 2025, the United States announced the imposition of significant increased tariffs on a wide
variety of goods and services imported to the USA from most of its trading partners, leading to uncertainty and
world-wide negative effects on most stock exchanges. At the time of the publishing of this report, Navamedic’s
operations has not been affected by this and the company does not believe it will have significant negative impact
in the foreseeable future for a couple of reasons: The Navamedic supply chain is for the most part situated in
Europe, requiring no assembly or parts crossing into the USA borders. The demand for Navamedic’s products is not
very elastic nor does it correlates strongly with a cyclical downturn in economic conditions in its core markets.
Statement from the Board and CEO
The Board and CEO have on this date considered and approved the director’s report and financial statements for
the Navamedic Group and its parent company Navamedic ASA for 2024. The Board has based this statement on
reports and statements from the chair of the Board and CEO, the results of the Group’s operations and on other
information that is material in assessing the Group’s position and was provided to the Board of the parent
company. To the best of our knowledge, confirm:
That the consolidated financial statements for 2024 have been prepared in compliance with the IFRS as established
by the EU, with the requirements for additional disclosures stipulated in the Norwegian Accounting Act.
That the annual financial statements for the parent company for 2024 have been prepared in compliance with the
Accounting Act and with good accounting practice in Norway.
The information in the financial statements provides a true and fair representation of the assets, liabilities, results
and overall financial positions of the Navamedic Group and Navamedic ASA as at 31 December 2024.
That the director’s 2024 report provides a true and fair overview of the performance, operating results and financial
positions of the Group and the Company, as well as the key factors regarding risk and uncertainty currently facing
the Group and the Company.

the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in
accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International
Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including International Independence Standards) (the IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit
Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
We have been the auditor of the Company for 5 years from the election by the general meeting of the
shareholders on 3 June 2020 for the accounting year 2020.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements for 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets
Basis for the key audit matter
At December 2024, the carrying amount of the
group’s goodwill and other intangible assets
amounted to NOK 159.1 million and 92.6 million.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least on an
annual basis. Other intangible assets are tested if
indications of impairment.
Management prepared an impairment
assessment based on a value in use calculation
using cash flows from approved budget and long-
term plans, followed by a terminal value
calculation. These cash flows are based on key
assumptions such as estimates of futures sales,
growth rates, gross margin, working capital,
capital expenditures and discount rates. The
estimates require significant judgement by
management.
The impairment assessment was a key audit
matter due to the significant judgements involved
in the estimates used in the budgeted and
forecasted cash flows.
Our audit response
We have evaluated the value in use model,
management’s estimates relating to the future
cash flows, and managements sensitivity
analysis. Tested management`s assumptions
used in the value in use calculations, this
included comparing projected revenues, gross
margin, working capital and capital expenditures
to budgets and sales forecasts approved by the
board. We discussed the current market situation
and expectations about future growth with
management. We assessed the historical
accuracy by a comparison of previous years
estimates versus actual results and we tested the
mathematical accuracy of the valuation model.
We refer to disclosures in note 8 in the
consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of non-current loans receivable
Basis for the key audit matter
Carrying amount of non-current loans receivable
was NOK 6.2 million as at 31 December 2024
after a total expected credit losses (ECL) of NOK
32.5 million.
As described in note 2.5 and note 18, in prior
period to 2024, an expected credit loss was not
recognized in the financial statements. In 2024,
management concluded that this accounting
treatment was not appropriate under IFRS
Accounting Standards, and the Group has
changed the accounting treatment with
retrospective restatement of the financial
statements.
The ECL calculation requires management to
use judgement to obtain an unbiased and
probability weighted amount that is determined
by evaluating a range of possible outcomes. In
addition, the measurement of ECL shall reflect
the time value of money and reasonable and
supportable information about past events,
current conditions and forecasts of economic
expectations as well as criteria for significant
increases in credit risk for the debtor. To
calculate the provision management is required
to make estimates and assumptions, including
the probability of default, exposure at default and
loss given default.
Due to the use of judgement in applying the ECL
measurement criteria, the uncertainty in
assumptions as basis for the estimates and the
restatement we consider ECL related to non-
current loans receivable to be a key audit matter.
Our audit response
We assessed the methodology applied for
calculating ECL including the criteria for
determining significant increases in credit risk
(SICR) for the debtor. For the exposure we have
evaluated the criteria for SICR and assessed the
timing of the increase in credit risk during 2023 to
evaluate when the loans became credit-impaired
(stage 3) and whether the loans continued to be
credit-impaired during 2024. For the credit
impaired loans (stage 3), we evaluated the
assumptions applied to determine the expected
credit losses.
We evaluated the loss given default for the three
different scenarios identified and the probability
applied, including the increased exposure due to
assumed reduction in probability of going
concern for the debtor in 2024. We have
assessed the measurement of interest income for
the exposure depending on the staging of the
exposure.
We have reviewed the appropriateness of the
note disclosures, which includes a description of
high degree of judgement and uncertainty in the
estimates.
Expected credit losses are disclosed in note 2
and 18 in the financial statements of the Group
and note 12 in the financial statements of the
Company.
Other information
The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer (management) are responsible for the information
in the Board of Directors’ report and the other information presented with the financial statements. The
other information comprises the annual report, Director's report, Sustainability report and Corporate
Governance report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of
Directors’ report and the other information presented with the financial statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the information in the
Board of Directors’ report and for the other information presented with the financial statements. The
purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the information in the Board of Directors’
report and the other information presented with the financial statements and the financial statements or
4
Independent auditor's report - Navamedic ASA 2024
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise the information in the Board of Directors’ report and for
the other information presented with the financial statements otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors’ report
and the other information presented with the financial statements.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors’ report
• is consistent with the financial statements and
• contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.
Responsibilities of management for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of the Company that give a
true and fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and
practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
of the Group that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by
the EU. Management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the
Company or the Group, or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and the Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and the Group’s ability to
5
Independent auditor's report - Navamedic ASA 2024
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit.
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters
that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication
