Global Pharmaceutical Industry Robert Agon – Industry Analysis Alex Luk – Bristol-Myers Squibb Jacky Lui – Pfizer Ray Li – Merck

Overall Health Care Industry

Pharmaceutical vs. Biotech Two Distinctions: 1) Business model Biotech: Much smaller and limited resources to market drug Just a research engine Pharmaceutical Larger and market drug themselves 2) Field of Research Use “genetic engineering” Use "empirical screening" to develop drugs

Pharmaceutical Industry Background The U.S. is the leader in market share and has five of the ten largest companies Global pharmaceutical sales grew 9% in 2003 to $466.3 billion In 2003, 64 blockbuster drugs had sales over $1 billion Industry is less sensitive to swings in the business cycle COGS, R&D and Marketing are the largest expenditures Information from Phrma & Yahoo Finance November 2004

Industry Background (cont.) Patents are extremely important; they give a company exclusive rights to produce a drug for 20 years Many pharmaceutical companies attempt to extend their patents by significantly changing the nature of the drug Future success of a drug company depends heavily on the number and quality of drugs in the pipeline The industry has traditionally relied on the “blockbuster model”, where a few key drugs make up most of the company’s revenue

Potential New Business Strategies The Diagnostic-Led Strategy based on the observation that even when there are established treatments, significant numbers of patients are either not diagnosed in a timely manner or not diagnosed at all The Single-Pill Strategy seeks to simplify the lives of those taking multiple medications The Treatment Platform Strategy based on the assumption that various medical conditions share common denominators and can be treated using the same therapeutic approach

Key Issues Affecting the Industry In August 2004, New York officials filed a lawsuit against 44 drug makers, claiming they overcharged Medicaid for prescription drugs Merck’s Vioxx drug was pulled due to risk of heart attacks and strokes Possible legal action by various patient groups May affect sales of Pfizer's CeIebrex & Bextra COX-2 pain reliever U.S. citizens are increasingly angry over rising drug costs, which is fuelling political debate over Canadian imports Online sales to the U.S. from Canadian pharmacies are expected to be $1.2 billion US in 2004 By 2005, over $50 billion of branded pharmaceuticals will have their patents expire

Ethical vs. Proprietary Drugs Ethical: branded and generic drugs sold only through prescription Proprietary: branded or generic drugs sold over the counter After patent expiration, many of the prescription drugs can apply to the FDA for over-the-counter status. Lower margins on over-the-counter products FDA requirements are not as cumbersome for over-the-counter drugs

Product Focus Most ethical producers focus on 5 main therapeutic areas: Central nervous system Cardiovascular Gastrointestinal / metabolism agents Anti-infective Respiratory drugs More concentrated on chronic rather than acute diseases with large patient populations (cancer, arthritis, CVD) Ulcer medications, cholesterol treatments, and antidepressants are the top three drug categories Two of the best-selling drugs are Pfizer's Lipitor and Merck’s Zocor for cholesterol

Breakdown of Sales Figures by Area Central Nervous System 24% Cancers, endocrine system, & metabolic diseases 17% Digestive and genito-urinary system 13% Respiratory system Parasitic and infectious diseases 11% Cardiovascular agents 10% Vitamins and related items 6% Dermatological items 3% Veterinary products U.S. Department of Commerce 2002

Customers Individual Patients Pharmacies Physicians Large Scale Purchasers (Hospitals & Managed Care Providers) Government Agencies (Medicare & Medicaid)

Large Scale Purchasing Companies Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) Offers consumers a comprehensive range of benefits at one annual fee Patients are assigned to a primary care doctor as a "gatekeeper" who decides what health services are needed and when. They receive a discount from health care providers based upon their volume of patients Pharmaceutical Benefits Management Companies (PBMs) Intermediary distributor between drug companies and large scale purchasers Process drug claims for managed care companies & large employers Immense buying power which allows saving to be passed to customers

Medicare & Medicaid Medicare: Government health insurance program designed to subsidize health services for the elderly and disabled Medicaid: Government health insurance program designed to subsidize health services for those living in poverty These agencies buy in bulk to get a lower price, thus putting margin pressure on pharmaceutical companies Medicaid programs have preferred drug lists of reimbursable medicines that doctors can prescribe This decreases patients’ access to much needed medicines Lowers the overall quality of care

Industry Politics & Government Pharmaceuticals spend millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions to influence government Re-election of Bush is good for U.S. pharmaceuticals Note: The AMEX Pharmaceutical Index increased by 2.74% the day after the election Issue of importing cheaper drugs from Canada Industry is subject to extensive government regulation (ie. FDA, foreign governments, environmental, & price constraints)

Food and Drug Administration Imposes requirements on product testing, safety, effectiveness, and marketing of pharmaceutical products Monitors for proper manufacturing and labeling standards Also responsible for food, medical devices, and cosmetics products Only one out of five medicines that enter clinical trials is approved for patient use by the FDA Source: www.fda.com (2004)

Drug Approval Process Average of 10 - 15 years and $800 million to nurture a drug from initial discovery to market Process: Academic and Laboratory Research Testing done on animals Phase 1: Drug given to a small number of healthy people to test its safety Phase 2: Drug administered to 100 or more people with the disease that it was intended to treat Phase 3: Rigorous testing done on larger groups of ill patients FDA Review – Approval/Disapproval Source: www.fda.com (2004)
