Financial risk management

Financial risk management 

4.1Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including changes in the Company’s share price, exposure to fluctuation in currency exchange rates and exposure to interest rate movements), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022. In relation to the royalty purchase agreement with entities managed by Healthcare Royalty Management, LLC ("HCR"), the Company is obligated to pay interest in the form of royalties in connection with certain net sales and licensing revenue. As the effective interest rate ("EIR") on the deferred royalty obligation does not depend on market performance, the exposure to interest rate and market risk is deemed low. See note 17, “Deferred royalty obligation” for further information. In regards to the senior secured term loans, the interest rate is variable and dependent upon market factors. The Company will update the EIR at the end of each reporting period for changes in the rate. See note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" for further information. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase (decrease) in the interest rate as of March 31, 2023 would have increased (decreased) the effective interest expense associated with the Company's senior secured term loan facility by KUSD 676 and (KUSD 676), respectively. There have been no other material changes in financial risk management since December 31, 2022.

4.2Fair value estimation

As of March 31, 2023, the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value for the following financial assets and liabilities:

•Cash and cash equivalents

•Trade accounts receivable; and

•Trade accounts payable

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no significant changes in the business or economic circumstances that affected the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

Fair values must be estimated at the end of each reporting period with regard to the senior secured term loan warrant obligation and the Deerfield warrants. The approach to valuation follows the grant date fair value principle, and the key input factors are described for the senior secured term loan facility warrant obligation in note 13, "Senior secured term loan facility and warrants" and for the Deerfield warrants in note 15, "Deerfield warrants." Commonly accepted pricing models (Black-Scholes) have been used to calculate the fair values. The valuation of the senior secured term loan facility warrant obligation and Deerfield warrants are classified as pertaining to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The convertible loan derivatives previously were classified as pertaining to Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy and were extinguished on August 15, 2022. See note 14, "Convertible loans" for further information. The Company no longer has any inputs pertaining to level 3 of the valuation hierarchy set out below.

The different levels of the valuation hierarchy have been defined as follows:

(a)Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

(b)Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (for example, as prices) or indirectly (for example, derived from prices);

(c)Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There were no transfers between the respective levels during the period.
