Brixadi: 2Q Royalties are 6% and 10% above cons and JEFe, respectively. The company flags
continued expansion across treatment settings, including office-based care, treatment centres
and correctional facilities. Partner Braeburn has made significant investments to expand its US
commercial activities, which seems to have paid off despite IQVIA TRx data painting a different
story. Camurus expects substantial growth potential for Brixadi in the long-acting injectable
buprenorphine (LAIB) market.
Buvidal: 2Q Buvidal Sales are 12% and 11% above cons and JEFe, respectively, with 77k
patients estimated to be in treatment with Buvidal at end-2Q26 (+4k patients vs prior Q). Sales
are improving in the UK as a result of the approved NHS funding from April (o/w £1.1bn total for
drug & alcohol treatment 2026-2027) which is gradually becoming available. Also, supported
by strong performance in the Nordics, Germany, Spain and France. However, whilst sales were
stable in Australia, prescribing capacity in parts of the region is a limiting factor to growth, with
improvement expected during 2H. Indivior's decision to discontinue supply of Sublocade to
Australia from 31 Dec 2026 should support further uptake of Buvidal. Buvidal now has around
31% share of patients and over 80% share of the LAIB segment in Australia. Shan Hama * | Equity Analyst
