Contrave comeback

Orexigen’s decision to shift its US marketing focus from healthcare providers to consumers appears to be paying dividends as there has been a significant rebound in Contrave prescriptions since the launch of the patient-centric campaign. Outside of the US, progress continues as the product has launched in 13 countries, with another 10 expected by the end of the year, including Italy, where Orexigen just signed a local commercial and distribution partner.

Update: Taking control of Contrave

On 15 March Orexigen announced the acquisition of US distribution rights to its obesity treatment Contrave from Takeda. The company simultaneously announced a new collaboration with Valeant for the commercialization of Mysimba (Contrave ex-US) in 18 Central and Eastern European countries. We value Orexigen at $213m, significantly reduced from $1.09bn, mainly on reduced expectations for Contrave in the US. However, our fair value of $1.47/share is substantially above the current $0.51 share price.

The share price looks attractive in the absence of potential new contract wins, which could be materially enhancing to the valuation.

The FY23 results reflected the more challenging environment and the group trades at a discount to its long-term average EV/sales multiple for FY24.
