Q&A highlights

Q: Clarify the interchangeable exclusivity for the Stelara biosimilar and when PBMs may drop the brand from their plans.

A: Alvotech got interchangeability designation on April 30, with competition expected to get interchangeable designations, but this is positive for faster uptake. There are active sales dialogues for private label partners, and PBMs are expected to exclude the originator from formularies, opening opportunities for biosimilars.

Q: Quantify the buyout of stocking for the Stelara biosimilar in the first quarter given $110 million net product sales.

A: Alvotech is a B2B business, driven by purchase orders, not stocking, with lumpiness in shipments based on commercial partners' dynamics.
