INDIVIOR PLC (INDV)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 2025 delivered a clean beat and guidance raise: revenue $314m (+2% YoY; +4% QoQ) and non-GAAP diluted EPS $0.72, both ahead of S&P Global consensus; management lifted FY25 revenue to $1.18–$1.22B and adjusted EBITDA to $400–$420m . Revenue consensus for Q3 was ~$261.9m* and EPS consensus ~$0.412*, implying meaningful beats.
  • SUBLOCADE strength drove the print: $219m (+15% YoY; +5% QoQ), with U.S. net revenue $203m (+14% YoY), aided by 8% YoY/3% QoQ dispense growth, DTC launch, and label updates that enable rapid initiation and earlier second injection .
  • Non-GAAP gross margin of 84% expanded YoY, but GAAP gross margin fell to 73% on restructuring/portfolio actions (notably $30m OPVEE sales/marketing discontinuation flowed through COGS) as simplification progresses toward ≥$150m 2026 opex savings and a U.S. redomicile .
  • Stock catalysts: sustained SUBLOCADE outperformance (volume, GTN), FY25 raise with potential 2026 opex ceiling ≤$450m and intensified U.S. DTC, plus U.S. redomicile/ROW optimization that may unlock indexation and simplify governance .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

  • What Went Well

    • SUBLOCADE delivered: $219m (+15% YoY; +5% QoQ), with U.S. $203m (+14% YoY), driven by dispense growth and gross-to-net tailwinds; management cited improved field execution and label updates (rapid induction; earlier second injection) .
    • FY25 guidance raised across top line and profit: revenue to $1.18–$1.22B; SUBLOCADE to $825–$845m; adjusted EBITDA to $400–$420m; non-GAAP R&D lowered to $75–$80m .
    • Operating model simplification on track: discontinued OPVEE sales/marketing support, ROW optimization (exit several markets), U.S. domicile pursuit, and ≥$150m opex savings expected in 2026 .
  • What Went Wrong

    • GAAP gross margin compression to 73% (vs. 79% LY) driven by portfolio/transition costs (incl. $30m OPVEE discontinuation costs in COGS) despite non-GAAP GM of 84% .
    • GAAP SG&A rose to $155m (from $142m) on corporate transition costs; non-GAAP SG&A flat at $127m, indicating investment needs to sustain SUBLOCADE momentum while simplification savings ramp .
    • SUBOXONE Film remains a secular headwind (generic erosion), though pricing was stable in Q3; ROW legacy SUBUTEX tablets continue to erode, offsetting newer product growth .

Management Commentary

  • CEO: “Commercial execution drove strong SUBLOCADE performance… expected to generate at least $150 million in annual operating expense savings beginning in 2026… expect to deliver immediate accretion to the bottom line and improved cash generation beginning in January 2026.” .
  • CFO: “Q3 SUBLOCADE net revenue included a gross-to-net benefit of $10 million as well as a stocking benefit of $4 million… We are raising our 2025 financial guidance… adjusted EBITDA to $400–$420 million.” .
  • CCO: “SUBLOCADE’s rapid induction is a unique offering… unit dispense growth was solid at 8% versus prior year and 3% versus the second quarter… prescriber base +11% YoY; HCPs with 5+ patients +11% YoY.” .
  • On cost program: “We reduced headcount by over 32%… discontinuation of OPVEE sales/marketing, optimization of ROW… largest savings tied to labor.” .

Q&A Highlights

  • OpEx program breakdown: ~half of ≥$150m 2026 savings from labor (headcount down >32%); remainder from non-essential spend, OPVEE exit, and ROW optimization .
  • Channel strategy: pushing commercial-payer growth while maintaining Medicaid leadership; 95% of commercial patients have $0 OOP; improving specialty pharmacy yield; visible impact into 2026 .
  • R&D cadence: streamlined org; phase 2 programs continue; company retains ability to move to phase 3 without lifting 2026 opex above ≤$450m .
  • Gross-to-net and shipment phasing: Q3 included ~$10m GTN release and ~$4m stocking benefit within SUBLOCADE .
  • SUBOXONE outlook: FY25 assumes price stability; 2026 view deferred pending payer landscape update .
  • Capital allocation: management prioritizes completing Phase I and clarity on 2026 cash before detailing capital deployment .

Estimates Context

  • Q3 2025 results materially exceeded S&P Global consensus: revenue $314m vs ~$261.9m* and non-GAAP EPS $0.72 vs ~$0.412*; Q2 and Q1 also topped revenue and EPS consensus by wide margins, reflecting accelerating execution and mix benefits.*
  • Street models likely need to adjust FY25/26 for: raised FY25 revenue/EBITDA, higher SUBLOCADE run-rate and DTC leverage, non-GAAP GM durability, and a structurally lower 2026 opex base (≤$450m) supporting operating leverage .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • SUBLOCADE momentum is real and broad-based (volume, GTN, prescribers), with new label and DTC likely to support double-digit growth into 2026; watch dispense trends and gross-to-net normalization .
  • The FY25 raise plus ≥$150m 2026 opex cuts (≤$450m opex) materially improves medium-term FCF conversion; non-GAAP margins should expand as transition charges roll off .
  • Quality of beat: note Q3 contained ~$14m of non-recurring tailwinds (GTN/stocking); underlying demand still positive (dispenses +3% QoQ) .
  • Portfolio/GAAP optics: GAAP GM hit by $30m OPVEE discontinuation and other transition costs; expect cleaner comparables in 2026; rely on non-GAAP for run-rate profitability assessment .
  • Macro/policy tailwinds (SUPPORT Act renewal, ongoing public health emergency) and payer access (~88% coverage) reinforce category growth runway for LAI OUD treatments .
  • Corporate actions (U.S. redomicile, indexation, ROW focus) should simplify governance and may broaden investor base; timeline targets late Jan 2026 effectiveness subject to approvals .
  • Monitor 2026 guide in January for clarity on SUBLOCADE growth cadence, DTC ROI, and cash deployment priorities (organic vs. M&A) .

Additional Relevant Press Releases (Q3 context)

  • Redomicile to U.S. via scheme of arrangement; shareholder EGM early Dec 2025; expected late Jan 2026 effectiveness (new parent Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) .
  • JAMA Network Open study supports rapid SUBLOCADE induction improving treatment retention, especially among fentanyl-positive patients .
  • AMCP Nexus real-world evidence: higher SUBLOCADE adherence linked to lower relapse and healthcare utilization/costs in Medicaid and commercial populations .

Notes:

  • Non-GAAP metrics exclude restructuring, litigation, and other items as detailed; Q3 adjustments include $33m COGS, $29m SG&A, and $13m R&D .
  • DTC campaign “Move Forward in Recovery” launched Oct 1, intended to sustain awareness and patient activation into 2026 .
