Reckitt Bets on the Man From Pepsi for Some Fizz
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc has appointed Laxman Narasimhan as its new chief executive officer, succeeding Rakesh Kapoor. An outsider should herald a fresh start for a group that was once a superstar, but has more recently become a laggard.Reckitt has eschewed some of the obvious candidates for the role, such as Tesco Plc’s Dave Lewis or Unilever’s Nitin Paranjpe. It has instead chosen Narasimhan, who joins from PepsiCo Inc., where he was global chief commercial officer.He’s an unknown quantity outside of the U.S. He had a career spanning almost 20 years at McKinsey, before moving to Pepsi. While he was well-regarded there, its change of CEO might have left him as one of the senior executives who missed out on the top job and was therefore looking for opportunities outside of the soft drinks maker.And Reckitt has some particular challenges. It has endured a tumultuous few years, following the $16.6 billion acquisition of Mead Johnson in 2017.Narasimhan should at least bring a burst energy to the group. Kapoor was increasingly worn down by Reckitt’s problems.The first task of the incoming leader is to revive sales expansion, which has stalled. He must also complete the integration of Mead Johnson. It did seem as if it was improving, but hit another bump in the road last year, in the form of disruption to a plant in the Netherlands. Not having been involved in the purchase, Narasimhan can take an impartial view on the best way to tackle what increasingly looks like the wrong deal to have done.Narasimhan must both fit in with Reckitt’s culture, and evolve it. It has a particular hard-driving approach, where cost-cutting to bolster margins is at the forefront. That has gone out of fashion with investors, who want a better balance between top line and bottom line growth. The new CEO will have more scope to warn that margins must come down to facilitate the investment needed to turbocharge sales.Kapoor reorganized Reckitt into two divisions: one focused on household products, such as Cillit Bang cleaner, and the other on consumer health treatments including Nurofen painkillers. As well as being CEO, Narasimhan will directly lead the health arm.But the outgoing CEO hadn't yet taken that to its logical conclusion: separating the two units, possibly through a sale of hygiene and home. While Kapoor had earmarked this as a job for mid-2020, it will fall to his successor to complete the task.A split is not a given: new leaders don’t usually like to take an ax to their empires. There is also a question mark over whether Narasimhan can break up the group, even if he wanted to.As my colleague Chris Hughes has argued, this reinvention could be hampered by the aftershocks from the Justice Department’s indictment of Indivior Plc, the pharma business Reckitt spun off back in 2014. The drugmaker faces a $3 billion fine after U.S. prosecutors alleged it lied about the dangers of its opioid addiction treatment.That Narisimhan didn’t have any hand in the Indivior spin off means he has no baggage associated with the original deal, which would impede finding a solution. Having been based in the U.S., he should also have experience of dealing with regulators there.Indeed, this underlines the benefit of appointing an outsider – to both the company and the broader European consumer goods sector – he has much more latitude to take the difficult decisions that Reckitt needs to regain its stellar status.To contact the author of this story: Andrea Felsted at afelsted@bloomberg.netTo contact the editor responsible for this story: Jennifer Ryan at jryan13@bloomberg.netThis column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.Andrea Felsted is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering the consumer and retail industries.

Reckitt chairman aims for swift decision on CEO succession
Reckitt Benckiser is working to resolve both its search for a new chief executive and its position relating to U.S. charges of wrongdoing at a former business, its chairman told investors at its annual general meeting on Thursday. The maker of Lysol cleaners and Durex condoms is "well under way with a comprehensive process" to select a successor to Chief Executive Rakesh Kapoor, Chairman Christopher Sinclair said at the meeting in London. "I'm hopeful that in the not-too-distant future, we'll have something significant to report here," Sinclair said.

Indivior signs deal to sell schizophrenia drug in Canada
Perseris, launched in the United States in February, is approved by the FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. The drug delivers its active ingredient, risperidone, in an extended-release delivery system with no loading doses or oral supplementation recommended. Indivior, which gets most of its revenue from Suboxone in the United States, was indicted last month for illegal marketing of Suboxone in the U.S. and was fined $3 billion.

Indivior's Suboxone decline slower than feared as company bets on new opioid drug
The U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year cleared the way for market access to cheaper alternatives to Indivior's blockbuster opioid addiction treatment Suboxone film, a move which the company itself said could result in the rapid loss of market share. The British based company, which reported revenue of over $1 billion (£766 million) last year - generated largely from the U.S. - said on Thursday it expects 2019 net revenue to fall to between $525 million and $575 million this year. Sales in the U.S., rose despite generic competition.

Reckitt Benckiser Q1 sales fall short, sees better second half
Reckitt Benckiser Group reported lower-than-expected first-quarter sales, due to weakness in its health business, but stood by its full-year forecast, relying on an improvement as the year goes on. Like-for-like sales rose 3 percent in Reckitt's hygiene and home business, but were flat in health as a 5 percent rise in infant formula was offset by a 9 percent drop in over-the-counter medicines.

Opioid Crisis Threatens Reckitt's Reinvention
The consumer good group’s strategy now looks to be a hostage to U.S. lawyers. Under outgoing CEO Rakesh Kapoor, Reckitt had been simplifying and refocusing its portfolio. This effort was expected to culminate in the division of the business into two separate companies: one focused on household products such as Cillit Bang cleaner and Finish dishwasher tabs, the other on consumer health treatments like Nurofen painkillers and Gaviscon heartburn tablets.

Indivior’s loans take hit following fraud claims
In an indictment Tuesday, prosecutors allege Indivior deceived healthcare providers by claiming the film version of Suboxone was less addictive than the tablet form and other available drugs on the market, and then illegally reaped billions by pushing prescriptions. Indivior’s term loan that matures in 2022 was quoted with a bid as low as 84 cents on the dollar on Wednesday, before being quoted higher at 90-94 on Thursday, according to sources. The term loan currently has US$243m outstanding, according to Indivior’s most recent annual earnings review published last month.

Indivior shares plummet, Reckitt hurt on U.S. charges over opioid prescriptions
In an indictment in federal court in Abingdon, Virginia, a grand jury said Indivior made billions of dollars by deceiving doctors and healthcare benefit programs into believing its Suboxone Film version was safer and less susceptible to abuse than similar drugs. The indictment charged Indivior and its subsidiary Indivior Inc with conspiracy, health care fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud. If the company is convicted, the U.S. government would seek forfeiture of at least $3 billion from Indivior, the indictment said.

European stocks tick up post ECB decision, banks fall
European shares rose slightly on Wednesday as gains across most sectors offset losses among lenders, which were hit by a lack of detail in European Central Bank (ECB) comments after the bank left borrowing costs unchanged. The ECB's decision on rates matched investors' expectations but President Mario Draghi's comments shed very little light on reported plans for a tiered deposit rate and a new round of ultra-cheap bank loans.
