 Marinomed Biotech AG with Carragelose record sales in 2022
and positive outlook for 2023

• Carragelose revenues show double-digit growth for the fourth year in a row
• New growth opportunities driven by license agreement with Procter & Gamble, US patent for Marinosolv technology and
expansion of Solv4U technology partnerships
• Outlook 2023: Moving forward with business development building on strong technology platforms and new clinical data

Korneuburg, Austria, April 19, 2023 – Marinomed Biotech AG (VSE:MARI) achieved its fourth double-digit revenue increase in
a row in 2022 with its dynamically growing Carragelose business (+15.5% to € 11.2 m from € 9.7 m in 2021). This positive
development resulted in stable total revenues of € 11.3 m (2021: € 11.6 m) despite the lack of milestone payments in 2022.
Adjusted for the Budesolv milestone from 2021 of € 1.9 m, revenues in 2022 grew by 16.5%. Cash and cash equivalents
increased by 41% to € 8.2 m (2021: € 5.8 m) due to the drawdown of the last tranche of EIB financing and cost-conscious
liquidity management.

Andreas Grassauer, CEO of Marinomed, says: „2022 was another successful year for Marinomed. Although small-cap life
science companies like Marinomed were facing increasing pressure in a challenging market environment, we were again able
to prove that our Carragelose portfolio is a sustainably growing business. With the Procter & Gamble partnership, we
signed one of the most significant deals in the Company’s history. Further milestones were the US patent for the
Marinosolv technology and the expansion of our Solv4U technology partnerships. This is a solid foundation for achieving
operational profitability in the short term and for driving long-term strategic growth projects.“

Earnings development remains characterized by R&D investments

Further investments in Marinomed’s future growth path were reflected in the earnings development according to plan. Thus,
research and development expenses remained at a high level of € 6.9 m in 2022 (2021: € 7.5 m). As a result of the delays
in milestone payments, the operating result (EBIT) of € -4.9 m was slightly below the prior-year figure of € -4.1 m. The
financial result was € -1.5 m (2021: € -1.5 m), while the result for 2022 stood at € -6.4 million (2021: € -5.9 million).

Outlook 2023 & Strategy 2025

In the Virology segment, the focus in 2023 will be on further growth of the Carragelose business, both by entering new
markets such as the USA and through product launches in existing partnerships. Marinomed will increase its activities to
support regulatory approvals in new markets. Significant progress is recorded to launch the product with M8 (formerly
Moksha8) in Mexico. In South Korea the complex regulatory environment is currently preventing progress. Overall, Marinomed
expects an increasing demand for Carragelose products due to the post-pandemic recurrence of cold seasons with common
respiratory viruses, not limited to Coronaviruses. In addition, recently published clinical results on the treatment of
hay fever with Carragelose should have a positive impact. They will support the expansion of the Carragelose portfolio
toward allergic indications and to generate revenues outside the cold season. 

In the Immunology segment, the priority in 2023 will be to intensify the commercialization of the most valuable product
candidates Budesolv and Tacrosolv based on the Marinosolv technology. Business development activities will be supported by
industry experts. For the product candidate Budesolv for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, market approval is pursued
together with the partner Luoxin in China. Further partnerships are to be concluded for marketing Budesolv in other
regions. For Tacrosolv, partners in ophthalmologic indications are being targeted in a structured process. The business
development of the Solv4U technology partnerships is set to be further boosted by new, high-revenue partnerships. 

Overall, Marinomed expects research and development costs to remain equally stable in the current financial year with
further stable growth in Carragelose revenues, resulting in a continued operating loss expected in 2023.

Marinomed reaffirms the implementation of its Strategy 2025 in the long term and adds short-term targets to achieve
operating profitability. CEO Andreas Grassauer comments: „Over the next 18 months, we will focus on strengthening existing
business activities and partnerships and use the resulting cash flows for the further development of the Company. As a
second priority, we will target white spots on the Carragelose map and the closing of partnerships for Budesolv and
Tacrosolv. In the short term, we aim to generate revenues from these activities to achieve profitability and unlock the
full potential from our pipeline. In the long term, we remain committed to our mission of applying our patented technology
platforms to develop therapies for diseases with unmet medical need. Our aim is to improve patients‘ quality of life and
create sustainable value for all stakeholders.“
