June 2014 4 Truths & Untruths in the Global Pharma Industry

The weight of healthcare expenditure in developed economies has risen between

2003 and 2012, despite the implementation of cost containment measures

Healthcare expenditure as a percentage of GDP1

2012 2003

Healthcare expenditure as a % of GDP¹

(Local currency)

In 2012, healthcare expenditure

represented one of the largest public spending items in most developed economies: 1st (USA), 2nd (France, Germany, Japan, UK)2 and 3rd (Italy3 and Spain4)

At best, health authorities will manage to slow down the rise of healthcare expenditure as a percentage of GDP, but not to stop it

In principle, there is no ideal or optimal ratio of healthcare expenditure over GDP

The weight of healthcare expenditure is primarily a political decision based on public health considerations and national investment prioritization

1 Gross domestic product

With the exception of the USA, governments play a more important role in covering

healthcare expenditure in developed markets than in less developed ones

Share of public spending in total healthcare expenditure (2012)

In the USA, the level of public spending on healthcare is far below the one of other developed countries

Nonetheless, the weight of healthcare expenditure in the GDP is also significantly higher, stimulated by favorable policies to the private sector

The recent healthcare reform in the USA is expected to narrow the spending gap between the USA and other developed countries in the coming years

In emerging countries, the public and private healthcare insurance systems are less advanced, resulting in a higher share of out-of-pocket spending and a lower weight of healthcare expenditure in the GDP

1 2012 - 2 2010

The cost of drugs is far behind that of hospital and ambulatory care, yet this segment

is paradoxically targeted by governments because it is easier and quicker to reduce

Breakdown of healthcare expenditure (2011)

Drugs represent the 3rd largest source of healthcare expenditure in major developed countries

Drugs are typically the easiest segment to apply cost-containment measures on, as decisions are:

– Made by payers (either public and/or private), with little or no negotiation with suppliers

– Much better accepted by citizens than restriction measures on the other segments

However, to significantly reduce total healthcare costs, governments will need to apply cost-optimization measures on all healthcare segments, irrespective of their relative importance

June 2014 Truths & Untruths in the Global Pharma Industry 7

1st

Statement: The price pressure on pharma companies is temporary

Irrespective of the considered country, the price pressure on drugs, from either public or private

insurance companies, will keep on growing, over the long term

Three main reasons support this assumption:

− The cost of healthcare increases faster than the economy

− Pharma companies do still make high profits (net profits ~15%)

− Drug cost is not the biggest bucket, but the easiest on which price cuts can be applied (i.e. application is

easy and effects immediate, no direct social nor political negative impacts)

Pharma companies could negotiate, collectively (through their union) or individually a “Drug Price

Stability Pact” that will guarantee a certain level on price depending on:

− The medico-economic value of their products, at a national, regional and local levels

− Their commitment to invest in research programs and facilities

− Their logistic and manufacturing facilities

− Their level of employment and its evolution overtime

− Their contribution to exports

True or Untrue?

If drug price pressure will continue over the long-term, pharma companies will not be

impacted the same way, due to differences of portfolio and socio-political strategy

June 2014 Truths & Untruths in the Global Pharma Industry 10

2nd

Statement: Pharma companies profitability keep on shrinking

We have observed over the past years, a deterioration of the profitability of the pharma industry

and a slow down of its sales growth

However, the analysis of the top selling pharma companies, shows that, with the exception of

AstraZeneca, they manage to maintain they profitability level, over the past three years

To achieve such a performance, the leading pharma companies have:

− Refocused most of their research programs to address secondary care diseases with major unmet needs

− Closed a large number of their production centers, and reallocated many of the remaining ones in countries

benefiting from lower-cost manpower

− Significantly downsized they sales forces

− Divested or sold their low (lower) profit strategic segments

In the years to come, pharma companies should not only keep on improving the efficiency of their

operations (R&D, manufacturing, marketing & sales, etc.)…

… but also simplifying their internal processes and their structure to become leaner and more agile

True or Untrue?

If the pharma industry profitability has declined, it is still very profitable and should

remain as such, provided they improve their operational and organizational efficiency

1 For an opportunity cost estimated at 11%. The US government guidelines call for using 3%

Truths & Untruths in the Global Pharma Industry 15

3rd

Statement: The cost of new molecules is in the range of USD 1B

The review of the main studies published since 2000, shows that the average cost of new drugs is

estimated at USD ~1.3 B

The average cost of a new drug is USD ~7.2 B for top 10 pharma companies and USD ~ 2.0 B for

biotech companies that are focused on a more limited number of research projects

The huge variations observed from one source to another one are due to differences in

methodologies and cost assumptions used

These figures should be analyzed with caution because:

− They include the cost of drugs having failed during their development

− They take into account the cost of capital invested (~50% of the total estimated cost)

− They do not deduct corporate tax savings (estimated at ~35% of total R&D costs)

− They use means while median would be more appropriate because of the huge difference of R&D costs

observed according to pharma companies and the type of products being developed

The median cost of one single successful new drug, without considering the associated

opportunity costs and with deduction of tax savings should amount USD ~ 0.5 B

True or Untrue?

The median cost of a new drug is in the range of USD ~0.5 B, if one considers out-of-

pocket costs only and one deducts tax savings

Truths & Untruths in the Global Pharma Industry 19

4th

Statement: BRIC countries are the Eldorado of pharma companies

The key question for pharma companies is not anymore: “Should we operate in BRIC countries?”

but “How can we run a profitable business?”

These emerging markets appear to be less attractive and more complicated than anticipated:

− The Chinese market sales growth rate is lower than forecasted

− Access through local registration procedures and affordability by local patients remain strong barriers to

the development of global pharma companies in all BRIC countries

− Governments tend to favor the development of domestic companies at the expense of foreign

multinationals (e.g. Brazil, Russia, India, China) through the implementation drastic price controls,

amongst other measures

− Local rules and business practices are not always clear to understand and nor in line with the code of

business ethics of foreign pharma companies

− Low protection of Intellectual Property: India has declared compulsory licensing on several brands (e.g. In

2012, a compulsory license of Bayer’s Nexavar, indicated for hepatocarcinoma, was granted to the Indian

generic company Natco Pharma Ltd)

− Local currencies are weak and may fall significantly (e.g. Russia, recently)

True or Untrue?

The profitability of foreign pharma companies operating in BRIC1 countries remains a

key issue for most of them and their situation is unlikely to improve in the short term
