Indivior’s Q4 2024: Key Contradictions in Financial Projections, Product Launches, and Market Strategy

These are the key contradictions discussed in Indivior PLC's latest 2024 Q4 earnings call, specifically including: Financial Projections, Product Launch Timelines, and Market Strategy:



Revenue Growth and SUBLOCADE Performance:
- Indivior PLC reported a 4% increase in net revenue for Q4 2024, driven by SUBLOCADE, which ended the year with 20% net revenue growth overall.
- The growth in SUBLOCADE was underpinned by increased commercial investments and expected label updates that could enhance its competitive positioning.

Operational and Cost Management:
- Indivior reduced costs by over $100 million annually, focusing on commercial and R&D pipeline efforts to support long-term growth.
- This was largely driven by the decision to discontinue the schizophrenia treatment PERSERIS and streamline operations.

Challenges in Criminal Justice System (CJS) and Funding Gaps:
- Indivior faced challenges in the CJS due to funding gaps impacting net revenue expectations in this important channel.
- The company attributed the challenges to persistent funding issues and budget constraints in the justice system rather than competitive pressures.

Guidance and Future Expectations:
- For 2025, Indivior's guidance anticipates a 17% decline in total net revenue, primarily due to SUBOXONE Film erosion and the discontinuation of PERSERIS.
- Indivior expects SUBLOCADE's net revenue to remain relatively unchanged, with challenges in the Justice channel offset by growth in organized health systems.
