IQVIA Response to FDA Statement

IQVIA™ (NYSE:IQV) is a leading global provider of advanced analytics, technology solutions, and contract research services to the life sciences industry. We also provide a select set of services to the FDA and other government agencies. Recently, we made a correction to a kilogram conversion measurement in the United States IQVIA National Sales Perspective (NSP) market research service affecting reported measurements for transdermal patches in the opioid market. This kilogram measurement is reported in the NSP market research service. This measurement conversion issue does not impact our widely used US and global dollar and unit information in NSP or information in any other IQVIA market research services, methodologies or offerings.

IQVIA’s internal processes had already identified the measurement conversion issue prior to the FDA’s notification. We notified our clients about this measurement conversion issue in April of this year. Ongoing steps have been undertaken to correct this measurement conversion issue in this offering.

We stand behind our data methodologies. We value our long-standing relationship with the FDA. We take the FDA’s concerns seriously and will continue working with the FDA to resolve these concerns to its satisfaction.
