It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Indivior Pharmaceuticals Inc. (INDV). Shares have lost about 5.3% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Indivior Pharmaceuticals Inc. due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.

Indivior Beats Q2 Earnings Estimates, 2026 Outlook Raised

Indivior delivered adjusted earnings of $1.15 per share in the second quarter of 2026, up 125.5% year over year and beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents.

Total revenues rose 13.6% year over year to $343 million, primarily due to strong U.S. Sublocade performance. The metric beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $308 million.

Total Sublocade net revenues increased 21% year over year to a quarterly record of $253 million.

U.S. Sublocade revenues increased 22% to $238 million, driven by strong dispense unit volume growth, favorable price/mix and gross-to-net adjustments.

Dispense unit volume increased 18% year over year, supported by strong market demand and commercial execution.

The quarter saw record new patient starts for the company, with roughly 32,816 patients beginning Sublocade treatment. As of June 30, 2026, more than 545,000 U.S. patients had been prescribed Sublocade since launch.

U.S. sublingual and other product revenues increased to $57 million compared with $52 million in the prior-year quarter. Rest of World revenues declined 6.5% year over year to $43 million.

In the second quarter of 2026, overall U.S. revenues rose to $300 million, up from $256 million a year ago.

Indivior's Cost Base Lifts Profitability

Indivior continued to improve profitability through disciplined cost management. Adjusted operating expenses declined 33% year over year to $112 million.

Indivior Raises 2026 Outlook

Reflecting stronger-than-expected commercial performance, Indivior increased its full-year 2026 financial guidance.

The company expects net revenues to be in the range of $1.295-$1.365 billion, up from its previous guidance of $1.215-$1.285 billion.

Indivior also lifted its total Sublocade net revenues forecast to $1.01-$1.05 billion from $950-$990 million, implying approximately 20% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.

The increase in guidance reflects stronger-than-expected dispense-unit growth and improved commercial dispense yields, supported by favorable product mix trends.

Adjusted EBITDA is projected at $700-$740 million, up from the prior range of $620-$660 million. The adjusted operating expense outlook was maintained at $430-$450 million.
