Half Year Financial Highlights

H1 net revenue at $531m (H1 2015: $517m) increased 3% versus prior year with strong market growth and increased market share offset by higher rebates, in connection with formulary access in the US, versus prior year. Net revenue at constant FX grew by 3%.

H1 operating profit of $198m (H1 2015: $230m), reflected higher net revenues, and the expected higher operating costs and $14m exceptional costs for strategic initiatives in preparation for the possibility of a negative ANDA trial outcome.

H1 net income was $107m (H1 2015: $144m) after net financing costs of $26m (H1 2015: $31m) and tax rate of 38% (H1 2015: 28%) including exceptional tax items of $14m related to unresolved tax matters.

Cash balance at half year of $577m. Net debt at half year $5m (vs. Year End 2015: $174m).

Half Year Operating Highlights

US market growth in H1 2016 continued to be mid to high single digit percentage. Indivior welcomes recent legislation to widen access to medication assisted treatment in the USA.

Suboxone Film market share was 61% (compared to 60% in H1 2015).

Positive ruling in the ANDA litigation against Actavis & Par confirms Company's ongoing confidence in its intellectual property protection for Suboxone Film.

New product pipeline continuing to progress. Readouts on major clinical trials are due in the next few months; Buprenorphine Monthly Depot (RBP-6000) Phase III efficacy study top-line in Q3; Risperidone Monthly Depot (RBP-7000) Phase III Safety Extension in Q4; Arbaclofen Placarbil for treatment of alcohol use discorder, Phase IIA Dosing Study found it to be safe and well tolerated up to cap target dose but with high inter-individual PK variability observed.

Cost reduction and benchmarking project initiated to optimize new organisation and structure.

Indivior PLC has announced intention to list its ADRs in the US, and filed its form 20-F with SEC.

Outlook

Full year guidance today raised to net revenue in a range of $1,000m to $1,030m (previously $945m - $975m) and adjusted net income (excluding exceptionals) of $180m to $200m (previously $155m-$180m) at constant exchange rates (versus 2015). The guidance recognises current market conditions in the US are continuing into H2, but assumes no deterioration in generic tablet pricing, limited impact of branded competition, and investment of $35m above original assumptions in driving innovations. The Company will update further at Q3 results on November 2nd, 2016.

Comment by Shaun Thaxter, CEO of Indivior PLC

"Our performance this year to date is ahead of our plan." commented Shaun Thaxter, CEO of Indivior PLC. "US market growth has continued in mid-to-high single digits, while Suboxone Film share has been strong, driven by a couple of formulary gains and the resilience of its franchise with patients and physicians. This resilience was underlined by the outcome of the first ANDA trial which confirmed the strength of our intellectual property protection for Suboxone Film. Accordingly we are today raising our full-year guidance for net revenue to a range of $1,000m to $1,030m and adjusted net income (excluding exceptionals) of $180m to $200m, both at constant exchange. We will update further at Q3 results on November 2nd."

"At the beginning of the year, I set out our priorities for 2016," Shaun Thaxter continued. "I am delighted with the strong progress we have made. Now that we have built a structure and capability that is fit for purpose as a standalone PLC, we are initiating a project in the second half of the year to optimize our organisation, benchmarking costs against appropriate comparators, and looking to optimize our structure."

"Our pipeline of new, potentially transformative treatments for addiction and co-morbidities, is on the verge of reporting important trial results which should allow us to file two critical NDAs in the next 12-18 months; one for our critical Buprenorphine Monthly Depot for opioid dependence, and one for our Risperidone Monthly Depot for treatment of schizophrenia. We continue to look for business development and acquisition opportunities to expand our pipeline and to start diversifying our revenue sources within addiction and closely related areas. We have completed clinical trials for Suboxone Tablet in China, and plan to file an NDA there which represents a step forward in geographical expansion for our business."

"Indivior has a unique business model focused on empowering patients and striving to improve their quality of life by pioneering innovative, high-quality, accessible and cost effective treatments." Shaun Thaxter continued, "Indivior therefore warmly welcomes the intensified focus by Government and regulators, through the CARA legislation and HHS final rule, on increasing access to medication assisted treatment for addiction. Statistics suggest that only a fraction of the 2.5 million Americans who suffer from opioid dependence are receiving treatment today. The changes, to allow nurse practitioners and physician assistants to prescribe and to raise the patient cap from 100 to 275 patients for certain qualified physicians, together with the grants provided by CARA, should help accelerate the process of getting more people into treatment, and towards a better quality of life, and can only be good for public health and the economy. We look forward to uniting with stakeholders and healthcare professionals across communities to help implement the comprehensive approach outlined by CARA."

Half Year Operating Review

US Market Update

The market for buprenorphine products continued to grow in H1, showing volume growth of mid to high single digit percentage in line with expectation. Suboxone Film had a market share of 61% in H1, compared to 60% in H1 2015. This was slightly ahead of the exit share at the end of 2015, so market share has been gained through the half year. Generic tablet pricing has continued on its glide path downwards, as in Q1, but without materially disrupting the market at this stage. As last year, the Company continues to offer tactical rebates in connection with formulary access for Suboxone Film, in the face of continuing discounting by competitors. Branded competitors continue to make limited impact on the market.

Update on Guidance for Full Year

We said in May that if the environment continued to be favourable we would have room to reassess our full-year guidance at the half year. Accordingly we are today raising our full-year guidance to net revenue in a range of $1,000m to $1,030m and adjusted net income (excluding exceptional items) of $180m to $200m at constant exchange. The guidance recognises current market conditions in the US are continuing into H2, but assumes no deterioration in generic tablet pricing, limited impact of branded competition, and the previously-announced investment of $35m above original assumptions in driving innovations.

Financial Performance in Half Year

Total net revenue increased 3% to $531m (H1 2015: $517m) at actual exchange rates reflecting market growth, slightly increased market share and a price increase in January offset by higher rebates in the US versus prior year, in connection with formulary access. At constant exchange rates, the increase in net revenue was 3%.

In Q2, total net revenue increased 3% at actual exchange rates to $274m (Q2 2015: $266m). At constant exchange rates the increase in Q2 was 3%.

US net revenue increased in the half year by 5% to $433m (H1 2015: $412m). Volume was ahead of last year reflecting market growth and slightly higher market share compared to prior year. Pricing reflected a combination of a modest price increase in January and the annualisation of tactical rebates from 2015, in connection with formulary access in the face of aggressive discounting by branded competitors.

In Q2, net revenue increased by 5% in the US to $222m (Q2 2015: $212m) against a high base in 2015, reflecting market growth, a slight increase in market share year-on-year, the price increase in January and an improving trend in the year-on-year level of tactical rebates.

In H1 2016 Rest of World net revenue declined by 7% to $98m (H1 2015: $105m) as reported in USDs. At constant exchange, the net revenue decline was 4%, reflecting continuing price constraints from government austerity measures.

In Q2, Rest of World net revenue declined 4% to $52m (Q2 2015: $54m); at constant exchange rates the decline was also 4%.

Gross margin was at 90%, slightly behind last year (H1 2015: 91%). This decrease was primarily driven by the addition of exceptional costs of $10m within Cost of Sales. Excluding exceptionals, gross margin grew to 92% helped by growth in volume and the weakening of sterling (GBP). The exceptional items within Cost of Sales included manufacturing costs related to exploration of strategic initiatives to prepare the company for the possibility of a negative outcome in the ANDA litigation.

SD&A expenses increased by 19% to $221m (H1 2015: $185m). The increase mainly reflects higher ongoing legal expenses, a full half year of standalone public company costs and increased pre-commercialisation costs. Exceptional costs of $4m were included in SD&A. These primarily include one-off legal and advisory costs related to exploration of strategic initiatives to prepare the Company for the possibility of a negative outcome in the ANDA litigation.

R&D expenses increased, as planned, by 9% to $59m (H1 2015: $54m), reflecting the level of activity in the Company's clinical development pipeline and in particular to the fact that there were two pivotal Phase III trials running in H1 2016. R&D costs were lower in Q2 due to phasing of costs and the termination of certain projects (RBP-6300 and, in comparison with H1 2015, Nasal Naloxone).

Operating profit was $198m, 14% below prior year (H1 2015: $230m), and 11% lower at constant exchange). Excluding exceptional costs, operating profit was $212m (H1 2015: $235m), 10% below prior year.

EBITDA was $210m (H1 2015: $242m), and excluding the exceptional costs was $224m (H1 2015: $247m).

Operating margin was 37% as reported (H1 2015: 44%). Excluding the exceptional costs, the operating margin was 40% (H1 2015: 45%). This margin reflects higher net revenues and higher operating costs, primarily due to ongoing legal costs, a full half year of standalone public company costs and increased pre-commercialisation costs.

Finance expenses in the half year were $26m (2015 H1: $31m) being the full all-in cost of interest and amortisation on the $750m borrowing facility offset by the benefit of repurchasing $75m in December 2015 and $46m in the half year, reducing the outstanding borrowing on the facility to $582m. Q2 finance expenses were $11m (Q2 2015: $19m), reflecting the all-in cost for a full quarter, offset by the benefit of repurchasing $46m of outstanding debt during the half year.

The tax charge in H1 was $65m, a rate of 38% (H1 2015: 28%) on the pretax profit for the period. This included exceptional tax of $14m, which primarily related to provisions for unresolved tax matters and the movement of assets within the group as reported in Q1. The underlying tax rate, excluding this, was 27%.

The $9m net exceptional tax booked in Q2 mainly related to additional provisions for unresolved tax matters and the tax impact of exceptional items included in Cost of Sales and SD&A. In Q2 the reported rate was 34%, but the underlying rate excluding the exceptional item was 20%. Based on current projections we expect our full year effective tax rate to be 25% excluding exceptional taxation.

Net income for the half year was therefore $107m (H1 2015: $144m), a decline of 26% compared to H1 2015 as reported. At constant exchange rates, the decline was 27%.

Adjusted net income, excluding exceptional costs, was $135m, a decline of 9% (H1 2015: $148m). In Q2, net income excluding exceptional costs was $80m, an increase of 18% (Q2 2015: $68m). In Q2 the year-over-year increase in adjusted net income was driven primarily by the lower tax rate in the quarter.

EPS were 15 cents (H1 2015: 20 cents) on a basic basis and 14 cents on a fully diluted basis (H1 2015: 20 cents). On an adjusted basis, excluding exceptional items, EPS were 19 cents basic (H1 2015: 20 cents) and 18 cents fully diluted (H1 2015: 20 cents).

Cash Flow

Cash generated from operations in the half year was $230m (H1 2015: $320m), a decrease of $90m due to lower levels of operating profit of $198m (H1 2015: $230) and a significantly smaller improvement in net working capital with a release of cash of $13m (H1 2015: $82m).

Net cash inflow from operating activities was $183m in the half year (H1 2015: $220m) reflecting the lower cash from operating activities offset by lower tax payments in the half year of $24m (H1 2015: $51m), lower financing costs of $23m (H1 2015: $26m) and the absence of transaction costs relating to the loan facility (H1 2015: $23m).

During the half year, investment in property, plant and equipment, primarily related to the development of the Company's ERP system, new equipment in R&D laboratories and building refits, was $13m (H1 2015: $8m).

During the half year, the Group repaid $60m of its term loan, $16m of which was normal repayment under the terms of the loan facility, and $44m of which was repurchase of the debt in the market at a discount and subsequent retirement.

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents therefore was $110m (H1 2015: $192m), being the sum of the cash inflow from operating activities of $183m, less net cash outflows from investing and financing activites of $13m and $60m respectively. Added to the cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period of $467m, that gave the Group a total cash and cash equivalents balance at the period end of $577m.

Balance Sheet

Non-current assets decreased to $202m at the half year (FY 2015: $216m), due to modest increases in property, plant and equipment, offset by further amortisation of intangible assets.

Inventories were slightly lower at $47m (FY 2015: $48m). Trade and other receivables at $247m (FY 2015: $206m) increased in line with higher sales compared to the last year-end. The overall increase in current assets was primarily due to the $110m increase in cash and cash equivalents in the half year.

Trade and other payables increased to $579m (FY 2015: $528m), reflecting higher levels of rebates in the US in connection with formulary access and in response to heightened branded competition.

Net working capital (inventory plus trade and other receivables, less trade and other payables) was minus $285m at end H1 2016, an improvement of $11m on December 2015. This represents a ratio of minus 28% of moving annual total net revenue.

Cash and cash equivalents at the period end was $577m, reflecting a net cash increase of $110m in the half year ($34m in Q2). The cash inflow in Q2 (versus Q1) reflected the timing of some disbursements between Q1 and Q2. Borrowings, net of issuance costs, were $551m at the half year end (Dec 2015: $605m) During the half year, the Group repurchased $46m of the outstanding debt. In December 2015, the Group repurchased $75m. In total, therefore, the Group has repurchased $121m of its outstanding debt facility.

The net debt of the Group was $5m at June 30th including the unamortised issuance costs (Dec 2015: $174m).

At the half year, therefore, the Group had net liabilities of $167m (FY2015: $279m), consisting of assets of $1,073m (FY 2015: $937m), and liabilities of $1,240m (FY 2015: $1,216m).

Litigation Update

ANDA Litigation

The ruling after trial against Actavis and Par in the lawsuit involving the Orange Book-listed patents for Suboxone Film issued on June 3rd, 2016. Ruling found the asserted claims of the '514 patent valid and infringed; the asserted claims of the '150 patent valid but not infringed; and the asserted claims of the '832 patent invalid, but found that certain claims would be infringed if they were valid.

Based on the ruling as to the '514 patent, Actavis and Par are currently enjoined from launching a generic product. Par has appealed and Actavis is expected to appeal this ruling. The generics have also moved to reopen the judgment based on a more stringent claim construction in the Teva case, which is expected to deactivate the appeals until the District Court rules on the motions to reopen the judgement.

Trial against Teva, Actavis and Par in the lawsuits involving the recently granted process patent (US Patent No. 8,900,497) scheduled for November 2016.

Trial against Teva in the lawsuit involving the Orange Book-listed patents for Suboxone Film scheduled for November 2016, with Teva's 30-month stay of FDA approval on ANDA No. 20-5806 expiring April 17th, 2017. Indivior believes Teva's 30-month stay of FDA approval on ANDA No. 20-5299 also expires on April 17th, 2017, however, Teva disputes the applicability of the stay to this ANDA.

Trial against Alvogen in the lawsuit involving the Orange Book-listed patents and the '497 process patent for Suboxone Film scheduled for April 2017, with Alvogen's 30-month stay of FDA approval expiring October 29th, 2017.

Trial against Mylan and Sandoz in the lawsuit involving the Orange Book-listed patents for Suboxone Film is scheduled for September 25th, 2017, with Mylan's stay expiring March 24, 2018 and Sandoz's stay expiring April 2, 2018. There is also a second, stayed lawsuit between the Company and Mylan in the Northern District of West Virginia.Indivior received a Paragraph IV notification from Teva, dated February 8, 2016, indicating that Teva had filed a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) for a 16mg/4mg strength of Buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film. The Indivior Group and Teva agreed that infringement by Teva's 16 mg/4 mg dosage strength will be governed by the infringement ruling on the accused 8 mg/2 mg dosage strength in its ANDA currently scheduled for trial in November 2016.

The USPTO declined to institute Teva's petitions for inter partes review of the three Orange Book-listed patents on procedural grounds. Each of the three petitions were filed in December 2015. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB"), in a decision dated May 23, 2016, found that two of the petitions, '514 and '150, were untimely filed and rejected them on that basis. The third petition, as to '832, was rejected based on the PTAB's finding, in a decision dated June 10, 2016, that the petition failed to establish a reasonable likelihood that the challenged claims are unpatentable.

Dr. Reddy's has filed an inter partes review petition on each of the three Orange Book Patents. These petitions are substantively similar to those filed by Teva.

BDSI Proceedings

Briefing is complete in Indivior's appeal of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's (PTAB) decision in the Inter Partes Review of claims 15-19 of Indivior's US Patent No. 8,475,832 (the 832 Patent) for Suboxone Sublingual Film. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has not yet set a date for oral argument. Oral argument is set for August 3, 2016.

FTC investigation & Class Action

The Judge overseeing the legal privilege dispute in the FTC investigation has appointed a Special Master (an independent external lawyer) to investigate the claims of legal privilege and provide a recommendation to the Court on how the documents at issue should be treated. An initial report and recommendation relating to the first tranche of privileged documents reviewed by the Special Master was finalized in April 2016. The Court will determine whether to adopt the Special Master's recommendations in whole or in part, at which point the parties will work with the Special Master to implement procedures for the Special Master to review the remaining documents at issue. Ultimately the Court's determinations regarding the privilege status of the documents at issue may be subject to appeal in the United States Court of Appeals by either party.

In August 2015, the Company was informed that a contingent of additional states has initiated a coordinated investigation into the same conduct that is the subject of the FTC investigation and the Class Action litigation. The existing investigation of these same issues by the State of New York has now been incorporated within this multi-state investigation. On July 1, 2016, Indivior Inc. was notified that 22 states and the District of Columbia intend to file a complaint in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging violations of state and federal antitrust and consumer protection laws relating to the same conduct. The notice indicated that additional states may decide to join in any action and more recently the Company has learned that additional states do intend to join.

Fact discovery is underway in the Class Action litigation.

Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, a manufacturer of generic buprenorphine / naloxone tablets, has joined the litigation as an additional plaintiff. Amneal's complaint contains antitrust allegations similar in nature to those set out in the class action complaints, and Amneal has also alleged violations of the Lanham Act.

Department of Justice Investigation

A federal criminal grand jury investigation of Indivior initiated in December 2013 is continuing, and includes marketing and promotion practices, pediatric safety claims, and overprescribing of medication by certain physicians. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Virginia has served a number of subpoenas relating to SUBOXONE Film, SUBOXONE Tablet, SUBUTEX Tablet, buprenorphine and our competitors, among other issues. We are in the process of responding by producing documents and other information in connection with this on-going investigation. It is not possible at this time to predict with any certainty or to quantify the potential impact of this investigation on us. We are cooperating fully with the relevant agencies and prosecutors and will continue to do so.

Risk Factors

The Directors have reviewed the principal risks and uncertainties for the financial year 2016.

The assumptions in arriving at the Company's financial guidance for the full year are described on page 3 of this release. To the extent that actual market conditions differ from these assumptions, alternative financial outcomes are possible. However, the Company has issued this guidance based on industry analogues and its own estimates at this time.

Therefore, other than in respect of guidance for the full year 2016, the Directors consider that the principal risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the Group's performance in the remaining term of 2016 remain the same as described on pages 47 to 51 of the 2015 Annual Report. These include:

Business operations and business continuity

The Group's revenues are primarily derived from sales of Suboxone Film and any decrease in sales due to competition or supply or quality issues could significantly affect the results of operations and prospects.

Competition for qualified personnel in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries is intense and high-performing talent in key positions is a business-critical requirement.

Failures or disruptions to the Group's systems or the systems of third parties on whom the Group relies, due to any number of causes, particularly if prolonged, could result in a loss of key data and/or affect operations.

The Group's computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code or cyber threats that could have a security impact. All of these could be costly to remedy and we may be subject to litigation.

Product safety, regulation & litigation

As an innovative pharmaceutical company, the Group seeks to obtain appropriate intellectual property protection for its products. Its ability to obtain and enforce patents and other proprietary rights particularly for its products, drug formulation and delivery technologies and associated manufacturing processes is critical to business strategy and success. Specifically see disclosures above on page 6 under litigation update referring to the current status of ANDA litigation and the contingent liabilities disclosures on pages 19-20, note 7.

The manufacture of the Group's products is highly exacting and complex due in part to strict regulatory and manufacturing requirements. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) in many of the Group's products and product candidates are controlled substances that are subject to extensive regulation in all the countries in which the Group markets its products.

The testing, manufacturing, marketing, and sales of pharmaceutical products entail a risk of product liability claims, product recalls, litigation, and associated adverse publicity, each of which could have a material adverse impact on the business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Product development

The regulatory approval process for new pharmaceutical products and expansion of existing pharmaceutical productsis expensive, time-consuming and uncertain. Even if product candidates are approved there is no guarantee that they will be able to achieve expected market acceptance.

Commercial and Governmental payor account, pricing and reimbursement pressure

The Group's revenues are partly dependent on the availability and level of coverage provided to the Group by private insurance companies and governmental reimbursement schemes for pharmaceutical products, such as Medicare and Medicaid in the US.

Changes to governmental policy or practices could adversely affect the Group's revenues, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the reimbursement of treatment established by healthcare providers, private health insurers and other organizations may be reduced.

Compliance with law and ethical behavior

Business practices in the pharmaceutical industry are subject to increasing scrutiny by government authorities. Failure to comply with applicable laws and rules and regulations in any jurisdiction may result in fines, civil and/or criminal legal proceedings. Specifically see disclosures above on page 6 under litigation update referring to the current status of FTC Investigation and Department of Justice Investigation, and the contingent liabilities disclosures on pages 19-20, note 7

Acquisitions and business development

The Group may seek to acquire businesses or products as part of our strategy to enhance our current portfolio.

The Group's annual report for the 2015 financial year contains additional detail on these principal business risks together with a report on risk appetite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Indication

SUBOXONE (buprenorphine and naloxone) Sublingual Film (CIII) is a prescription medicine indicated for treatment of opioid dependence and should be used as part of a complete treatment plan to include counseling and psychosocial support.

Treatment should be initiated under the direction of physicians qualified under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act.

Important Safety Information

Do not take SUBOXONE Film if you are allergic to buprenorphine or naloxone as serious negative effects, including anaphylactic shock, have been reported.

SUBOXONE Film can be abused in a manner similar to other opioids, legal or illicit.

SUBOXONE Film contains buprenorphine, an opioid that can cause physical dependence with chronic use. Physical dependence is not the same as addiction. Your doctor can tell you more about the difference between physical dependence and drug addiction. Do not stop taking SUBOXONE Film suddenly without talking to your doctor. You could become sick with uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms because your body has become used to this medicine.

SUBOXONE Film can cause serious life-threatening breathing problems, overdose and death, particularly when taken by the intravenous (IV) route in combination with benzodiazepines or other medications that act on the nervous system (i.e. sedatives, tranquilizers, or alcohol). It is extremely dangerous to take non-prescribed benzodiazepines or other medications that act on the nervous system while taking SUBOXONE Film.

You should not drink alcohol while taking SUBOXONE Film, as this can lead to loss of consciousness or even death.

Death has been reported in those who are not opioid dependent.

Your doctor may monitor liver function before and during treatment.

SUBOXONE Film is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment and may not be appropriate for patients with moderate hepatic impairment. However, SUBOXONE Film may be used with caution for maintenance treatment in patients with moderate hepatic impairment who have initiated treatment on a buprenorphine product without naloxone.

Keep SUBOXONE Film out of the sight and reach of children. Accidental or deliberate ingestion of SUBOXONE Film by a child can cause severe breathing problems and death.

Do not take SUBOXONE Film before the effects of other opioids (e.g. heroin, hydrocodone, methadone, morphine, oxycodone) have subsided as you may experience withdrawal symptoms.

Injecting the SUBOXONE Film product may cause serious withdrawal symptoms such as pain, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, sleep problems, and cravings.

Before taking SUBOXONE Film, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you are pregnant or become pregnant while taking SUBOXONE Film, alert your doctor immediately and you should report it using the contact information provided below.*

Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) is an expected and treatable outcome of prolonged use of opioids during pregnancy, whether that use is medically-authorized or illicit. Unlike opioid withdrawal syndrome in adults, NOWS may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated in the neonate. Healthcare professionals should observe newborns for signs of NOWS and manage accordingly.

Before taking SUBOXONE Film, talk to your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed your baby. The active ingredients of SUBOXONE Film can pass into your breast milk. You and your doctor should consider the development and health benefits of breastfeeding along with your clinical need for SUBOXONE Film and should also consider any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition.

Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or perform any other dangerous activities until you know how SUBOXONE Film affects you. Buprenorphine in SUBOXONE Film can cause drowsiness and slow reaction times during dose-adjustment periods.

Common side effects of SUBOXONE Film include nausea, vomiting, drug withdrawal syndrome, headache, sweating, numb mouth, constipation, painful tongue, redness of the mouth, intoxication (feeling lightheaded or drunk), disturbance in attention, irregular heartbeat, decrease in sleep, blurred vision, back pain, fainting, dizziness, and sleepiness.

This is not a complete list of potential adverse events associated with SUBOXONE Film. Please see full Prescribing Information for a complete list.

*To report negative side effects associated with taking SUBOXONE Film, please call 1-877-782-6966. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

For more information about SUBOXONE Film, SUBOXONE (buprenorphine and naloxone) Sublingual Tablets (CIII), or SUBUTEX (buprenorphine) Sublingual Tablets (CIII), please see the respective full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide at www.suboxoneREMS.com.

Notes to the condensed consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Indivior PLC (the 'Company') is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2014. In these condensed consolidated interim financial statements ('Interim Financial Statements'), reference to the 'Group' means the Company and all its subsidiaries.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The financial information herein has been prepared in the basis of the accounting policies set out in the annual accounts of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2015 and should be read in conjunction with those annual accounts. The Group prepares its annual accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) interpretations as adopted by the European Union and the Companies Act 2006 (the Act) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required in determining the provision for income taxes.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at December 31, 2015. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been reviewed and not audited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue as at July 28, 2016.

After making appropriate inquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis for accounting in preparing these interim financial statements.

The financial information contained in this document does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 and 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The auditors issued an unqualified opinion and did not contain a statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006 on the Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 were approved by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2016 and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker (CODM), who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

As the Indivior Group is engaged in a single business activity, which is the development, manufacture and sale of prescription drugs that are based on Buprenorphine for treatment of opioid dependence, the CEO reviews financial information presented on a combined basis for evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company reports as a single reporting segment.

Revenues

Revenues are attributed to countries based on the country where the sale originates. The following table represents revenue from continuing operations attributed to countries based on the country where the sale originates and non-current assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortisation, by country. Non-current assets for this purpose consist of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Revenues and non-currents assets for the six months to June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

4. TAXATION

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, tax on total profits amounted to $65m and represented a half-year effective tax rate of 38% (H1 2015: 28%); $19m of these relate to the tax effect on the movement of assets within the Group and additional provisions for unresolved tax matters and are considered to be exceptional. ($5m) relate to the tax effect of exceptional items within SD&A and Cost of Sales. The Group's balance sheet at June 30, 2016 included a tax payable liability of $70m and deferred tax asset of $110m.

The effective tax rate excluding exceptionals was 27%.

Basic

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing profit for the period attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. 720,597,566 shares were in issue at the reporting date.


Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has dilutive potential ordinary shares in the form of awards. The weighted average number of shares is adjusted for the number of shares granted assuming the vesting of the awards.

7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Indivior Group is currently subject to other legal proceedings and investigations, including through subpoenas and other information requests, by various governmental authorities.

The Indivior business (previously Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals (RBP)) was demerged from Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (RB) on December 23rd 2014 and Indivior PLC became the new ultimate holding company of the group.

In 2011, the USAO-NJ issued a subpoena to Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals (RBP) requesting production of certain documents in connection with a non-public investigation related, among other things, to the promotion, marketing and sale of Suboxone Film, Suboxone Tablet and Subutex Tablet. RBP responded to the USAO-NJ by producing documents and other information and has had no communication from USAO-NJ since March 2013.

In late 2012, the FTC and the Attorney General of the State of New York commenced non-public investigations of the Company and various entities in the RB Group focusing on business practices relating to Suboxone Film, Suboxone Tablet and Subutex Tablet, including alleged involvement in a scheme to delay FDA approval of generic versions of Suboxone Tablet. The Company has responded to both the FTC and to the Attorney General of the State of New York by producing documents and other information. In August 2015, the Company was informed that a contingent of additional states has initiated a coordinated investigation into the same conduct that is the subject of the FTC investigation and the Class Action litigation. The existing investigation of these same issues by the State of New York has now been incorporated within this multi-state investigation. On July 1st, 2016, the Company was notified that 22 states and the District of Columbia intend to file a complaint in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging violations of state and federal antitrust and consumer protection laws relating to the same conduct. The notice indicated that additional states may decide to join in any action and more recently the Company has learned that additional states do intend to join. The investigations are ongoing, and as yet no decision has been made by either agency on whether to pursue any legal action for enforcement.

A federal criminal grand jury investigation of Indivior initiated in December 2013 is continuing, and includes marketing and promotion practices, pediatric safety claims, and overprescribing of medication by certain physicians. The United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia has served a number of subpoenas relating to Suboxone Film, Suboxone Tablet, Subutex Tablet, Buprenorphine our competitors, among other issues. Indivior is in the process of responding by producing documents and other information in connection with this ongoing investigation. It is not possible at this time to predict with any certainty or to quantify the potential impact of this investigation on the Company. Indivior is cooperating fully with the relevant agencies and prosecutors and will continue to do so.

ANDA Litigation

The ruling after trial against Actavis and Par in the lawsuit involving the Orange Book-listed patents for Suboxone Film issued on June 3rd, 2016. Ruling found the asserted claims of the '514 patent valid and infringed; the asserted claims of the '150 patent valid but not infringed; and the asserted claims of the '832 patent invalid, but found that certain claims would be infringed if they were valid.

Based on the ruling as to the '514 patent, Actavis and Par are currently enjoined from launching a generic product. Par has appealed and Actavis is expected to appeal this ruling. The generics have also moved to reopen the judgment based on a more stringent claim construction in the Teva case, which is expected to deactivate the appeals until the District Court rules on the motions to reopen the judgement.

Trial against Teva, Actavis and Par in the lawsuits involving the recently granted process patent (US Patent No. 8,900,497) scheduled for November 2016.

Trial against Teva in the lawsuit involving the Orange Book-listed patents for Suboxone Film scheduled for November 2016, with Teva's 30-month stay of FDA approval on ANDA No. 20-5806 expiring April 17th, 2017. Indivior believes Teva's 30-month stay of FDA approval on ANDA No. 20-5299 also expires on April 17th, 2017, however, Teva disputes the applicability of the stay to this ANDA.

Trial against Alvogen in the lawsuit involving the Orange Book-listed patents and the '497 process patent for Suboxone Film scheduled for April 2017, with Alvogen's 30-month stay of FDA approval expiring October 29th, 2017.

Trial against Mylan and Sandoz in the lawsuit involving the Orange Book-listed patents for Suboxone Film is scheduled for September 25th, 2017, with Mylan's stay expiring March 24, 2018 and Sandoz's stay expiring April 2, 2018. There is also a second, stayed lawsuit between the Company and Mylan in the Northern District of West Virginia.

Indivior received a Paragraph IV notification from Teva, dated February 8, 2016, indicating that Teva had filed a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) for a 16mg/4mg strength of Buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film. The Indivior Group and Teva agreed that infringement by Teva's 16 mg/4 mg dosage strength will be governed by the infringement ruling on the accused 8 mg/2 mg dosage strength in its ANDA currently scheduled for trial in November 2016.

The USPTO declined to institute Teva's petitions for inter partes review of the three Orange Book-listed patents on procedural grounds. Each of the three petitions were filed in December 2015. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB"), in a decision dated May 23, 2016, found that two of the petitions, '514 and '150, were untimely filed and rejected them on that basis. The third petition, as to '832, was rejected based on the PTAB's finding, in a decision dated June 10,2016, that the petition failed to establish a reasonable likelihood that the challenged claims are unpatentable.

Dr. Reddy's has filed an inter partes review petition on each of the three Orange Book Patents. These petitions are substantively similar to those filed by Teva.

It is not possible at this time to predict with any certainty if there will be a liability associated with these investigations nor, if one were to occur, is there an ability to quantify the potential impact on the financial statements of the Indivior Group.

In August 2015 the IRS issued notices of a proposed adjustment for the disallowance of certain manufacturing deductions claimed by the Company following its audit of 2011 and 2012 income tax years. During the 4th quarter of 2015, the Company was notified by the IRS of their intention to audit 2013 and 2014 income tax years and have since been notified that the IRS intend to disallow these claims in 2013 and 2014 audit cycle. The Company will appeal the proposed disallowance. The Company has evaluated its positions with respect to these claims and has provided $19m tax reserve for amounts claimed on all open periods as its best estimate of its expected settlement position for this issue.

Customer return and rebate accruals, primarily in the US, are provided for by the Group at the point of sale in respect of the estimated rebates, discounts or allowances payable to customers. Accruals are made at the time of sale but the actual amounts paid are based on claims made some time after the initial recognition of the sale. As the amounts are estimated they may not fully reflect the final outcome and are subject to change dependent upon, amongst other things, the channel (e.g. Medicaid, Medicare, Managed Care, etc) and product mix. The level of accrual is reviewed and adjusted quarterly in the light of historical experience of actual rebates, discounts or allowances given and returns made and any changes in arrangements. Future events could cause the assumptions on which the accruals are based to change, which could affect the future results of the Group.

The holders of ordinary shares (par value $0.10) are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at general meetings of Indivior PLC.

The initial shareholders resolved, by a special resolution, passed on October 30, 2015, to reduce Indivior PLC's share capital by decreasing the nominal value of each Indivior Ordinary Share from $2.00 to $0.10. This created distributable reserves on the balance sheet that will provide Indivior with, among other things, capacity for the payment of future dividends.

As required under section 645 of the Companies Act 2006, the High Court of Justice has confirmed the reduction of the Company's share capital. Following the registration of the Order of the Court with the Companies House, the Capital Reduction became effective on January 21, 2016.

Allotment of ordinary shares

During the year, 2,019,948 ordinary shares (2015: nil) were allotted to satisfy vestings/exercises under the Group's Long Term Incentive Plan.

10. RELATED PARTIES

Subsequent to the demerger from former parent, RB, on December 23, 2014, Indivior continues to receive certain services like office space rental and other operational services on commercial terms and on an arm's length basis. Adrian Hennah, the RB CFO, served on the Indivior PLC Board of Directors until the AGM on May 11th, 2016. The amount included within SD&A in respect of these services is $2m.

11. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

The 2015 second interim dividend of 9.5 cents per ordinary share was declared by the board on February 17th, 2016. This dividend totaling $68m will be paid on July 29th to shareholders whose names appeared on the register of members at the close of business on June 17th, 2016. The sterling equivalent per ordinary share was set at 7.3 pence.

Independent review report to Indivior PLC

Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed Indivior PLC's condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "interim financial statements") in the quarterly financial report of Indivior PLC for the 3 and 6 month period ended 30 June 2016. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

What we have reviewed

The interim financial statements comprise:

the condensed consolidated interim balance sheet as at 30 June 2016;

the condensed consolidated interim income statement and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period then ended;

the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows for the period then ended;

the condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; and

the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements.

The interim financial statements included in the quarterly financial report have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 1 to the interim financial statements, the financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the Group is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The quarterly financial report, including the interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the quarterly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements in the quarterly financial report based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

What a review of interim financial statements involves

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We have read the other information contained in the quarterly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements.

b) Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
