“…it’s a widely-held belief that a critical element of exceptional R&D organizations in the future will be creative BD engagement. In short, great BD and R&D are becoming synonymous with each other.” — Bruce Booth, “External Innovation: Force Multiplier for R&D,” Forbes, 6/26/2015

“While the list itself is interesting, and each drug could be a blockbuster, I wanted to call attention to something the Goldman report and many others haven’t highlighted directly: the instrumental and essential role of smart business development deal-making underpinning these projects.”

“By my quick review, it appears as though ~75% of these drugs originated at firms different from the company that owns them today – either via licensing deal or via corporate acquisitions. Savvy business development and corporate development strategies drove the bulk of the list.”— Bruce Booth, “Transformational Late Stage Drugs Delivered Through Deal Making,” Forbes, 3/21/2014

“…while the number of VC-backed M&A exits is in line with prior years (~25 per year), the value both in terms of upfront and full “biobuck” (~milestones) potential have reached new highs, topping over $5 and $8 billion, respectively.”

“…the average values per deals are steadily escalating – even though the average invested capital required to get there has remained steady.”

“…these trends have led to a very robust and positive return trend. Return multiples have almost tripled since 2005-2007 on overall deal multiples, and have more than doubled on the upfront multiples.”

“….private VC-funded biotech is a tiny fraction of the scale of the bigger BioPharma part of the sector in every major financial dimension. Small percentile changes to a Big BioPharma company’s market can swamp the scale of the biotech sector…..because of the scale difference, even small changes in the resource allocation practices within large BioPharma companies’ coffer has the potential to dramatically alter the biotech ecosystem. Assume these big BioPharma companies channeled just ~5% of their balance sheet cash into private biotech companies – this capital flow would fully fund the entire VC-backed biotech sector for a year (~50 companies).”

“….this differential in size makes Pharma’s increasing “externalization” of their R&D functions (via partnerships and M&A) a significant financial “buffer” against the cyclic ups and downs of the public capital markets.”

CASE STUDY: EXTERNAL R&D INNOVATION

SUMMIT, N.J. & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--April 15, 2010 -- Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ: CELG) and Agios Pharmaceuticals Inc., a privately-held biotechnology company, today announced the formation of a global strategic collaboration focused on targeting cancer metabolism. The goal of the collaboration is to discover, develop, and deliver novel disease-altering therapies in oncology based on the transformational science of Agios’ innovative cancer metabolism research platform. This platform is based on the concept that targeting key metabolic enzymes unique to rapidly proliferating cancer cells can “starve” the cancer.

Terms of the Agreement:

• Under the terms of the agreement, Agios will receive a $130 million upfront payment, including an equity investment

• In return, Celgene receives an initial period of exclusivity during which it has the option to develop any drugs resulting from the Agios cancer metabolism research platform , in addition, Celgene may extend this exclusivity period through additional funding

• If successful, Agios would receive substantial regulatory, clinical and commercial milestones

• Agios will lead discovery and early translational development for all cancer metabolism programs

• Celgene has an exclusive option to license any resulting clinical candidates at the end of Phase I, and will lead and fund global development and commercialization of licensed programs

• On each program, Agios may receive up to $120 million in milestones as well as royalties on sales, and may also participate in the development and commercialization of certain products in the US

“Celgene’s $120M into Agios’ discovery stage story was a surprise then, but looks pretty smart now. It’s equity ownership alone nearly paying for the deal, not to mention product rights.

• A big part of how Agios have done this is via creative business development; their landmark deal with Celgene allowed them to scale with non-dilutive funding during a critical time for the company, which opened up multiple options (and new disease areas to the startup)

• If well structured, less dilutive financing mechanisms via creative collaborations can catalyze significant value creation and optionality for young companies”

Bruce Booth “Framing Up Capital Efficiency in Early Stage Biotech,” Forbes, 7/17/2014

“A very clear inverse correlation exits between investor returns and equity capital deployed….M&A values don’t move up proportionally with invested capital. Returns from acquisition-based exits frequently go down with increasing amount of funding.”

“Healthcare investment into companies grew significantly, reaching $8.6 billion in 2014. Biopharma companies had the major share of that total, at $6 billion – the highest level since SVB started tracking the data in 2005.”

“We expect increases in fundraising and investment levels will lead to a very active 2015, with a note of caution, however. When the window closes, and non-VC investors pull back, the industry could be left with a crowded private market and lack of investors.”

“….difference between then (1998-2002) and now (2009-2013): in 2000, the number of early-stage investors spiked 75% as the IPO window for biotech began to open up, and stayed high through the collapse of the bubble in 2012. By contrast, the last few years – even with one of the biggest/longest IPO windows in biotech history, have been defined by restraint and constraint in terms of early stage biotech venture and startup formation.”

“Investors participating in BioPharma venture deals declined by ~40%, and never recovered those numbers. This represents a major culling of the herd.”

“Active life science investor numbers (including BioPharma and MedTech) dropped by 25% since 2007, and haven’t rebounded….FLAG Capital Management did a further refinement of “active” investors filtering for only investors that had made at least four new investments with at least $4M in aggregate during 2013, they identified only ~25 active healthcare venture capital investors, and only a subset of those VC’s actually help start or back drug discovery and research stage biotech's – probably only a dozen firms regularly start or fund more than 4-6 new biotech companies a year.”

“The take home message from these data is clear: there’s a huge influx of capital into venture, mostly into technology, and there remains a limited pool of capital flowing into life science venture, and even smaller into early-stage funds – despite the IPO and M&A markets.”

Bruce Booth “Early Stage Biotech Venture Scarcity: Fitness, Fear, and Greed,” Forbes, 9/22/2014 – Data: Dow Jones Venture Source, Franklin Park Associates, NVCA

HOWEVER: “With only ~100 new biotech startups being formed each year, and only a few dozen firms actively doing it, there’s a tiny universe of players responsible for creating the next wave of biotech's likely to mature in the second half of this decade.”

Bruce Booth, “Venture-Backed Biotech Today, Reflections on Exits, Funding, and Startup Formation,” Forbes, 1/22/15 and “Data Snapshot: Venture-Backed Biotech Financing Riding High,” Forbes, 4/21/15

“In the past two years, we have seen the emergence of non-VC investors, particularly hedge funds, providing “top-up” financing to IPO-ready companies prior to entering the market.”

— Jonathan Norris, Kristina Peralta, “Trends in Healthcare Investments and Exits 2015” Silicon Valley Bank (SVB)

“The later-stage financings that have been driving up the aggregate numbers are almost without exception driven by crossover investors

(like hedge funds and mutual funds who typically invest in public companies) or non-traditional partners like financial institutions. For

example, The Alaska Permanent Fund put nearly $300M into Juno Therapeutics during their private round.”

“My estimate, based on discussions with a few bankers who track crossover activity, and an appreciation of Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) contributions, is that only around 50% of the $6B invested in

private biotech's came from “conventional” venture investors (meaning independent venture firms backed by groups of LPs).”

“Everyone in venture-backed emerging companies acknowledges that going into the public markets with a solid list of blue chip cross-over investors in the capital structure is a good idea conceptually. It makes sense to line up big future owners of the stock early to help support the book-building process in the offering.”

Companies with cross-over led pre-IPO financing rounds have:

• Significantly higher pre-money valuations at IPO (128% higher valuation - $290M vs. 127M)

• Cross-over support IPOs at bigger step-ups in price at IPO (multiple over the last private round valuation is 34% higher)

• Post-IPO stock appreciation vastly outperforms for companies with cross-overs in their pre-IPO round (83% stock appreciation, at the median, versus trading down by 10% without cross-overs)

NOVEL DRUG TARGETS

“Initial rounds of funding (Series A’s) for novel drug R&D reached their highest levels in a decade in 2013. the importance of “high innovation quotient” investment thesis to gather initial venture funding is clearly on the rise.”

“Over the past decade, nearly 80% of venture capital for therapeutics went toward “novel drug R&D” rather than improvements on existing drugs. This trend is in contrast to the rise of “low technical risk” spec pharma investment model of the 2001-2007 period.”

EARLY STAGE — CORPORATE VENTURE CAPITAL (CVC)

“Most of the Series A funding of new startups has gone toward early-stage assets (drug discovery, preclinical, and Phase 1), and this has increased over the past five years. Further, the majority of the early-stage financings went to discovery/preclinical (~75%) vs. Phase 1.”

“On the early stage side, nearly one-third of all Series A funding comes from corporate venture capital (CVC) – and this has been increasing over time.”

In a recent letter to shareholders, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned of growing competition for Wall Street in the form of tech start-ups. “Silicon Valley is coming,” Dimon said in the letter, which touched on technologies as varied as mobile payments, bitcoin and peer-to-peer lending. “There are hundreds of start-ups with a lot of brains and money working on various alternatives to traditional banking,” the CEO warned.

“Alternative Finance is a new phenomenon, and it is taking the world by storm. With over 1,250 crowdfunding platforms worldwide, this new model of collaborative funding is breaking boundaries and defying the status quo as to how issuers source capital. In light of this paradigm shift and plethora of platforms, we perceived the need to develop an alternative finance aggregator that would instantaneously display quality private investment opportunities from curated platforms, all in one centralized marketplace.”— “Democratising Finance, Alternative Finance Demystified,” DealIndex, July 2015

“By the 2006-2010 period, almost all of the exits, upwards of 75% - regardless of size – were M&A driven events. The recent IPO window (2013/14) pushes the data a bit, but not enough to eliminate the dominance of M&A exits: more than 60% of the big >250M exits in our space in the last few years have been M&A.”

“IPOs used to be the only real game in town. Driving 67% of the exits and over 82% of the >250M exits in the late 1990s.”

“The share of big exits vs. all exits contributed by either path has converged over time. In the last 7 years, roughly identical percentages exits in the two charts above, suggesting that the relative contributions of IPOs and M&As at big and small valuations are similar.”

“Horizon's breakthrough in 2014 wasn't in the lab or a pharmacy; it was in finance.” - Mark Guarino— “The Pain Pill That Saved Horizon Pharma," Chicago Crains, 1/15

Bruce Booth “Data Snapshot: Venture-Backed Biotech Financing Riding High,” Forbes, 4/21/15

“Over time, about 25% of any given quarters’ financings are for newly backed startups (”first financings”); further, the overall number of quarterly biotech financings have been relatively constant at ~120 companies…this implies that the typical life of a venture-backed biotech (at least with regard to their venture financing needs) must be about ~4 years. This data suggest that within that period of time, most biotech's must seal their fate – either via death (shutting down) or by no longer needing venture funding (e.g. IPO, M&A, non-dilutive deal making self sufficiency). Otherwise, if it took a longer time on average to reach that fate, we’d see an increasing pool of biotech companies getting venture financed over time, which we largely haven’t over the past decade.”
