  1. Overview of Drug Discovery and Pharmaceuticals Yasmin Crawford, C.E.O

  2. Global Pharma Sales growth in single digits through to 2009 • Constrained by payers and providers as they grapple with ageing population • Supportedby more cautious/sceptical regulators • With increasingpatient acceptance of generics • Except in areas of specific unmet medical need supported by evidence based medicine • More scrutiny of products pre and post launch • US is critical to the success but increasingly susceptible to cost containment with Medicare

  3. World Pharma Market • 10 major markets support growth above 6% • US will continue to dominate but with lower growth • Major driver for growth still volume

  4. Drug Discovery • Fewer NCEs launched to market! 2004 (30) 2007 (<20) • Approx 8000 active products in preclinical to phase IV • 1600 oncology products in registration in US 2006, Phases I-IV • GSK (~130) and Sanofi Aventis (~110) hold the largest number of molecules under R&D • Biotechnology accounts for over 25% of the product pipeline • Few blockbusters across therapeutic segments • Markets changing towards technological improvements • Acquisition of smaller specialist companies • Manufacturing forced to tailor their capabilities *adapted from IMS data 2005

  5. Biological Industry ripe for attack! • Global Biotech Market tops $45billion • Fastest Growing sector • Makes up 25% of pharma R&D portfolio • Launch of first EPO biosimilar June 2007 • Pathway to approve biosimilars launched in the US in June 2007 *Based on 8 Generics Markets(IMS)

  6. Generic Injectable Market, an opportunity • Overall Hospital sector main growth driver from 2005 • Generics in Europe capture 60% of branded sales in 6months for off patent molecules • Global Generic Market $45billion • European Market expected to boom to $35.9billion by 2013 • Western European Injectable Market, €3billion • 5 Major Markets - UK 24%, FR 23%, GE 17%, IT & SP11% • Largest therapeutic areas, Oncology 29%, infection 26%, Cardiology 11% Pain 9% • Generic Sales will rise at least at 10% per year • 80% Rx written generically in the UK • Overall generic growth rising at 15% at least twice that of the branded market • Improved regulation speeds product to market and allows development whilst the patent is still enforced

  7. Major pending Patent Expiry, examples • Oncologics • Irinotecan (2009),Gemcitabine (2009), Docetaxol (2009 • Biologics • EPO (launched 2007), G-CSF (2008/9), Copegus (2009), Humira (2013), Enbrel (2015) • Anti-infectives • Meropenem (May 2009), Moxifloxacin (2014) • Anaesthetics • Desflurane (2009), Ropivacaine (2010) • Others • Tacrolimus (2009), Quetiapine (2012)

  8. Investment Opportunities • Small molecules • Re-Formulation/Re-Packaging • Niche Products • Hospital Products • New proven Technologies • Bioequivalence reduced patient numbers • Time to market shorter • Improved Regulation • New line extensions • Products withdrawn from the market • More flexible Manufacturing available

  9. Types of investments and Listed Successes • Most recent acquisitions in the generics industry… • Matrix invested in Focus pharmaceuticals, mainly tablet generic pharma company for £3.2m, debt & equity(~11%) • Generic Trade sales made by Indian Companies for Distribution routes into Europe and UK • Typical Generic pharma P/E ratios are 20-30x, Hikma plc (LSE) trades at 29x, Teva (NYSE) 20x • Larger pharma acquiring technology and more specialist niche R&D companies

  10. 2009 and on…. • China moves into top 10 markets • Blockbuster numbers growing for niche markets that do not require mass marketing efforts • Expansion of Medicare will bring cost benefit to centre stage • Parallel import trade has slowed in Europe and the USA but whilst price variation exists there is a possibility of renewed growth, providing there is efficient supply chain management. • Major generics start to cannibalise other brands in class in Europe so all products in class at risk ?

  11. Elegant Science, is it enough? • Payerswant clear directional evidence that links cost:benefit to appropriate targets • Providerswant clarity and simplicity as well as player endorsement • Patients will want proof that polypharmacy is safe • Pharma needs to improve its credibility and tolerate generics • Communication amongst all players will take a quantum leap of faith!
