Orexo - Highlighting the opioid dependency market size

Orexo’s capital markets day (CMD) emphasised the scale of the US opioid crisis. We have forecast 8.2% market growth pa for US opioid dependency in FY19 and FY20, although external speakers at the CMD suggested this may be higher. Orexo’s marketed product Zubsolv, sales of which grew 37% y-o-y in Q318 in SEK, and its other products in development, form a treatment franchise in the growing markets of opioid dependency and related disorders. The recent return of EU Zubsolv rights defers the royalties but this effect is largely absorbed by the CoGS reduction.
