Indivior Raises FY 2021 Guidance
This release contains inside information.
Slough, UK and Richmond, VA, June 30, 2021 - Indivior PLC (LON:
INDV) today announced that it is raising FY 2021 guidance to
reflect increasing business momentum:
-- Higher net revenue (NR) expectations for SUBLOCADE(R)
(buprenorphine extended-release) injection;
-- Continued relative share resilience of SUBOXONE(R)
(buprenorphine and naloxone) Film in the U.S.; and,
-- Updated foreign exchange (FX) assumptions.
These factors are supporting better-than-expected business
performance through the first half of 2021. As a result, FY 2021 NR
and adjusted pre-tax income are now expected to be significantly
above the Group's original guidance. Indivior will report Q2 and H1
2021 results on July 29th.
Key elements of Indivior's raised FY 2021 guidance are as
follows:
-- Total FY 2021 NR range of $705m to $740m (previously: up to
$625m), reflecting stronger SUBLOCADE performance, a continued more
modest rate of SUBOXONE Film market share erosion for the remainder
of 2021 and benefits from more favorable FX translation of
approximately $10m ($USD vs. GBP and EURO at the end of Q2 2021).
Product specific guidance is as follows:
-- SUBLOCADE FY 2021 NR range of $210m to $230m (previously:
$185m to $210m), based on stronger demand and a large order from a
new criminal justice system customer (NR contribution of
approximately $7m in Q2 2021)
-- PERSERIS(R) (risperidone) extended-release injection FY 2021
NR range of $17m to $20m (unchanged)
-- Adjusted gross margin in the low-80%s range, modestly above
previous expectations due to expected relative stability in the
commercial channel for SUBOXONE Film.
-- Adjusted operating expense (SG&A+R&D) range of $470m
to $480m (previously: $420m to $440m), reflecting incremental
performance-based expenses and updated FX translational impacts, as
well as incremental discretionary long-acting injectable (LAI)
growth investments of up to $25m.
-- A significantly higher level of positive adjusted pre-tax income than previously expected.
The person responsible for making this announcement is Kathryn
Hudson, Company Secretary of Indivior PLC.

About SUBLOCADE(R) (7)
SUBLOCADE (buprenorphine extended-release) injection, for
subcutaneous use (CIII)
INDICATION AND HIGHLIGHTED SAFETY INFORMATION
INDICATION
SUBLOCADE is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe
opioid use disorder in patients who have initiated treatment with a
transmucosal buprenorphine-containing product, followed by dose
adjustment for a minimum of 7 days.
SUBLOCADE should be used as part of a complete treatment plan
that includes counseling and psychosocial support.
HIGHLIGHTED SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH WITH INTRAVENOUS
ADMINISTRATION; SUBLOCADE RISK EVALUATION AND MITIGATION
STRATEGY
-- Serious harm or death could result if administered intravenously. SUBLOCADE
forms a solid mass upon contact with body fluids and may cause
occlusion,
local tissue damage, and thrombo-embolic events, including life
threatening
pulmonary emboli, if administered intravenously.
-- Because of the risk of serious harm or death that could result from intravenous
self-administration, SUBLOCADE is only available through a
restricted program called
the SUBLOCADE REMS Program. Healthcare settings and pharmacies
that order and
dispense SUBLOCADE must be certified in this program and comply
with the REMS
requirements.
Prescription use of this product is limited under the Drug
Addiction Treatment Act.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
SUBLOCADE should not be administered to patients who have been
shown to be hypersensitive to buprenorphine or any component of the
ATRIGEL(R) delivery system
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse: SUBLOCADE contains buprenorphine,
a Schedule III controlled substance that can be abused in a manner
similar to other opioids. Monitor patients for conditions
indicative of diversion or progression of opioid dependence and
addictive behaviors.
Respiratory Depression: Life threatening respiratory depression
and death have occurred in association with buprenorphine. Warn
patients of the potential danger of self-administration of
benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants while under treatment with
SUBLOCADE.
Opioids can cause sleep-related breathing disorders e.g.,
central sleep apnea (CSA), sleep-related hypoxemia. Opioid use
increases the risk of CSA in a dose-dependent fashion. Consider
decreasing the opioid using best practices for opioid taper if CSA
occurs.
Strongly consider prescribing naloxone at SUBLOCADE initiation
or renewal because patients being treated for opioid use disorder
have the potential for relapse, putting them at risk for opioid
overdose. Educate patients and caregivers on how to recognize
respiratory depression and how to treat with naloxone if
prescribed.
Risk of Serious Injection Site Reactions: The most common
injection site reactions are pain, erythema and pruritis with some
involving abscess, ulceration, and necrosis. The likelihood of
serious injection site reactions may increase with inadvertent
intramuscular or intradermal administration.
Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome: Neonatal opioid withdrawal
syndrome is an expected and treatable outcome of prolonged use of
opioids during pregnancy.
Adrenal Insufficiency: If diagnosed, treat with physiologic
replacement of corticosteroids, and wean patient off the
opioid.
Risk of Opioid Withdrawal With Abrupt Discontinuation: If
treatment with SUBLOCADE is discontinued, monitor patients for
several months for withdrawal and treat appropriately.
Risk of Hepatitis, Hepatic Events: Monitor liver function tests
prior to and during treatment.
Risk of Withdrawal in Patients Dependent on Full Agonist
Opioids: Verify that patient is clinically stable on transmucosal
buprenorphine before injecting SUBLOCADE.
Treatment of Emergent Acute Pain: Treat pain with a non-opioid
analgesic whenever possible. If opioid therapy is required, monitor
patients closely because higher doses may be required for analgesic
effect.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Adverse reactions commonly associated with SUBLOCADE (in >=5%
of subjects) were constipation, headache, nausea, injection site
pruritus, vomiting, increased hepatic enzymes, fatigue, and
injection site pain.

About SUBOXONE(R) (8)
SUBOXONE(R) (BUPRENORPHINE AND NALOXONE) SUBLINGUAL FILM
(CIII)
Indication
SUBOXONE (buprenorphine and naloxone) Sublingual Film (CIII) is
a prescription medicine indicated for treatment of opioid
dependence and should be used as part of a complete treatment plan
to include counseling and psychosocial support.
Treatment should be initiated under the direction of healthcare
providers qualified under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act.
Important Safety Information
Do not take SUBOXONE Film if you are allergic to buprenorphine
or naloxone as serious negative effects, including anaphylactic
shock, have been reported.
SUBOXONE Film can be abused in a manner similar to other
opioids, legal or illicit.
SUBOXONE Film contains buprenorphine, an opioid that can cause
physical dependence with chronic use. Physical dependence is not
the same as addiction. Your healthcare provider can tell you more
about the difference between physical dependence and drug
addiction. Do not stop taking SUBOXONE Film suddenly without
talking to your healthcare provider. You could become sick with
uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms because your body has become used
to this medicine.
SUBOXONE Film can cause serious life-threatening breathing
problems, overdose and death, particularly when taken by the
intravenous (IV) route in combination with benzodiazepines or other
medications that act on the nervous system (i.e., sedatives,
tranquilizers, or alcohol). It is extremely dangerous to take
nonprescribed benzodiazepines or other medications that act on the
nervous system while taking SUBOXONE Film.
You should not drink alcohol while taking SUBOXONE Film, as this
can lead to loss of consciousness or even death.
Death has been reported in those who are not opioid
dependent.
Your healthcare provider may monitor liver function before and
during treatment.
SUBOXONE Film is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic
impairment and may not be appropriate for patients with moderate
hepatic impairment. However, SUBOXONE Film may be used with caution
for maintenance treatment in patients with moderate hepatic
impairment who have initiated treatment on a buprenorphine product
without naloxone.
Keep SUBOXONE Film out of the sight and reach of children.
Accidental or deliberate ingestion of SUBOXONE Film by a child can
cause severe breathing problems and death.
Do not take SUBOXONE Film before the effects of other opioids
(e.g., heroin, hydrocodone, methadone, morphine, oxycodone) have
subsided as you may experience withdrawal symptoms.
Injecting the SUBOXONE Film product may cause serious withdrawal
symptoms such as pain, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, sleep
problems, and cravings.
Before taking SUBOXONE Film, tell your healthcare provider if
you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you are pregnant,
tell your healthcare provider as withdrawal signs and symptoms
should be monitored closely and the dose adjusted as necessary. If
you are pregnant or become pregnant while taking SUBOXONE Film,
alert your healthcare provider immediately and you should report it
using the contact information provided below.
Opioid--dependent women on buprenorphine maintenance therapy may
require additional analgesia during labour.
Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) is an expected and
treatable outcome of prolonged use of opioids during pregnancy,
whether that use is medically authorized or illicit. Unlike opioid
withdrawal syndrome in adults, NOWS may be life-threatening if not
recognized and treated in the neonate. Healthcare professionals
should observe newborns for signs of NOWS and manage
accordingly.
Before taking SUBOXONE Film, talk to your healthcare provider if
you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed your baby. The active
ingredients of SUBOXONE Film can pass into your breast milk. You
and your healthcare provider should consider the development and
health benefits of breastfeeding along with your clinical need for
SUBOXONE Film and should also consider any potential adverse
effects on the breastfed child from the drug or from the underlying
maternal condition.
Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or perform any other
dangerous activities until you know how SUBOXONE Film affects you.
Buprenorphine in SUBOXONE Film can cause drowsiness and slow
reaction times during dose-adjustment periods.
Common side effects of SUBOXONE Film include nausea, vomiting,
drug withdrawal syndrome, headache, sweating, numb mouth,
constipation, painful tongue, redness of the mouth, intoxication
(feeling lightheaded or drunk), disturbance in attention, irregular
heartbeat, decrease in sleep, blurred vision, back pain, fainting,
dizziness, and sleepiness.
This is not a complete list of potential adverse events
associated with SUBOXONE Film. Please see full
Prescribing Information www.suboxoneREMS.com for a complete list.
*To report pregnancy or side effects associated with taking
SUBOXONE Film, please call 1-877-782-6966. You are encouraged to
report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
