Valeant offers price cuts in distribution deal with Walgreens

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc, which has been accused of price gouging, said it would sell its skin and eye products at a discount in more than 8,000 Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc's pharmacies in the United States.

Valeant's U.S.-listed shares rose 12 percent to $105.42 in early trading on Tuesday. The company's Toronto-listed shares were up about 12 percent at C$144.70.

Walgreens Boots Alliance


The 20-year deal with Walgreens, the biggest drug store-operator in the United States by the number of pharmacies, is the latest by the Canadian drugmaker to allay shareholder concerns following federal investigations and criticism from the company's top stakeholders.

One of the allegations over Valeant's business practices was that the company was inflating revenue through its relationship with specialty drug distributor Philidor. The company cut its ties with Philidor on Oct. 30.

Valeant Chief Executive Michael Pearson told CNBC on Tuesday that the company's agreement with Walgreens "more than replaces" its deal with Philidor.

He said he expected the Walgreens deal to grow business through volumes.
Earlier in December, people familiar with the matter told Reuters that Valeant was reaching out to potential buyers for its specialty contact lens manufacturing division, Paragon Vision Sciences, amid scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission.

Billionaire Bill Ackman, one of Valeant’s largest shareholders, has said the company made a "meaningful mistake" of underinvesting in public relations as it dealt with questions about its business practices.

The Canadian drugmaker said on Tuesday prices of the skin and eye products would be reduced by 10 percent.

Valeant said it will offer the discounted drugs over the next six-nine months under the deal, which will take effect in the first quarter of 2016.

The company will offer 30 branded products at a discount of 5-95 percent through Walgreens pharmacies, according to a separate agreement between the companies.

Valeant said it expects the deal to provide about $600 million in savings to the American healthcare system.

Valeant's U.S.-listed shares had lost nearly 44 percent of their value through Monday's close since mid-October.
