TODAY’S DISCUSSION
Our Approach
 The approach that we will discuss today is very similar to that
used by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

 In fact, almost every large pharmaceutical company uses the


same approach to deal valuation.

 Consulting firms like BCG, Campbell Alliance, LEK, Mattson Jack


and McKinsey have standardized the industry in this way.

 A key area of emphasis from us is to keep an eye on risk-adjusted


returns in transactions.

 There are numerous fine points and ways in which firms differ in
approach.

 We will discuss many of these but the key focus will be on the
“hands on” – how to approach to valuation.

11 I
VALUE IS CREATED BY INVESTMENT FOR FUTURE PROFIT
General View: Go Big and Go for IRR / ROI to Create Value

Examples in Specialty Pharma


ROI
Allergan – Botox
(IRR) Biovail – Wellbutrin XL
Small Project Big Project Cephalon - Provigil
ENDO – lidoderm patch
Big Payoff Big Payoff Forest – Lexapro
Gilead - Truvada
King – Altace
(The zone of shareholder bliss) Reliant - Lovaza
Salix – Rifaximin
Viropharma - Vancomycin

Small Project Big Project


Low Payoff Low Payoff

Scale of
Project

The key to creating lasting value is to bet big and win.

TODAY’S DISCUSSION
Some Key Differences Across Pharmaceutical Firms - Method

Big Pharma Sometimes employ real options tools in project assessment.


A, B, C The idea is to look at a drug development project as a
sequence of choices or options. The most important insight
is the “option to abandon” a project is valuable. A further
insight involves the value of the option to expand
indications.

Biotech A Focuses largely on “pie splitting” – the sharing of the rNPV of


a project. Other inputs like IRR are not looked at all. Have
historically used higher discount rates for risky projects but
without risk-adjustment.

13 I
TODAY’S DISCUSSION
Differences Across Firms - Process
Big Pharma An organization called that carries out financial analysis of licensing and
D M&A projects. They have prepared an internal manual on how to value
every aspect of a project which standardizes their approach. Tends to do
careful valuation work with reasonable discount rates. Always have at
least three scenarios. Organization tends to be intelligent but financially
conservative in looking at opportunities. Will occasionally look at real
options and offer option deals to biotechs.

Has created a management science group that engages in sophisticated


Big Pharma predictive modeling of pharma product performance. Their view is that
E good forecasts are the most important and most difficult aspect of
pharma licensing. This group has been driving real options work but
hard for organization to grasp.

The focus is much more on simplicity, insight and medical soundness


Big Pharma than say Big Pharma E. Every projects gets summarized on two pages
F (and not more ever) for either the head of commercial or the head of
R&D. Once there is a preliminary approval an AIF (autorissation
investiment financiere) is prepared (30 to 50 pages). This document
does not skimp on commercial analysis but uses basic rNPV models.
14 I
VALUATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL PROJECTS
NET PRESENT VALUE
Q: Suppose we can invest $50 today & receive $60
later today. What is our increase in value?

A: Profit = - $50 + $60


= $10 $10
Added Value

$50 Initial Investment

16 I
NET PRESENT VALUE
Q: Now suppose we can invest $50 today and receive
$60 in one year. What is our increase in value given
a 10% expected return?

This is the definition of NPV


60
Profit = -50 +  $4.55

The idea of an expected rate of return or

cost of capital in society.

Net Present Value Rule

If the net present value of a project is positive


then it creates value and should be carried out.

If resources are finite and there are more


positive NPV projects than time, money or
other constraints would allow then the group
of projects that maximize NPV should be
implemented.

19 I
Risk Adjusted NPV

Pharmaceutical cash flows are risky and the


risk can be characterized based upon stage of
development.

Risk-Adjusted NPV or rNPV is a risk weighted


NPV and should be used in assessing risky
project.

22 I
IRR ANALYSIS
rIRR

The risk-adjusted IRR is the discount rate that would give an rNPV equal to zero.

In other words, it is the expected rate of return on a project.

We refer to the rIRR as the risk-adjusted IRR.

23 I
An Example Trade-Off

APPLICATION OF IRR TO LOOK AT TRADE-OFFS


Both of the choices shown at left involve
Issue Partner bringing cash today by causing current
Equity vs. Drug equityholders to give up future cash flow
(either by sharing the cash flow through
issuance of more equity) or instead by giving
away product cash flows to a partner.

There is an embedded opportunity cost


which is computed in the rate of return
given up in future cash flows for cash today.
This is the internal rate of return or IRR.
When derived from a probabilized model we
refer to this as a rIRR (risk-adjusted IRR).


Cash Received by Licensor t  
Cash Flow Given Up to Licensee t
t 1 (1  r )t

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that is


impounded in the equation comparing cash received
to cash flow given up.

Accounting Considerations – EPS Impact
 How will the expense be amortized?
– Straight-line amortization
• Negative EPS impact in later years due to smaller profit share
payments
• Acquisition price set standard treatment
– Amortize based on profit share payments
• EPS accretive each year
• What happens if we don’t achieve projections? Write-down
– Amortize in full each until asset is gone, then recognize full benefit
• Most conservative approach
• Not EPS accretive in the beginning years
 Many pharma companies are highly focused on EPS management
• Will prefer to use investment dollars over R&D dollars whenever
possible
• Will prefer to push out spending into the future

IMPORTANCE OF MARKET PENETRATION SCENARIOS
Building Penetration Scenarios
Penetration is usually the main driver of revenue forecasts. There are a few
different means to estimate the peak penetration that a new product can be
expected to achieve:
1. Historical penetration of comparable products
2. Objective comparisons versus currently available treatments (efficacy, safety,
convenience)
3. Physician interviews to gauge acceptance and potential use versus competing
treatments (preference share analysis)
4. Analysis of likely reimbursement and factors related to achieving reimbursement
from key payor groups
5. Mapping of commercial effort into physician prescribing behavior (companies
often use IMS analysis)
6. Almost all “bottoms up” approaches to penetration analysis tend to overestimate
penetration in practice. Preference analysis tends to do a poor job of predicting
actual prescribing behavior in the face of detailing and sampling
7. Comparison versus pipeline products and relative timing to market

Can then build low, expected and high penetration scenarios

Estimating Costs
Research Costs / Clinical Development Costs
• Identify remaining steps to IND (Toxicology, PK, etc.)
• Estimate cost of remaining steps
• Evaluate anticipated time and numbers of patients per phase
• Examine patient enrollment issues, treatment length and cost, ease of
establishing endpoints, long-term safety, regulatory complexity, etc.

COGS
• Look at COGS estimates on comparable products
• Use expected dosing and treatment length to generate unit sales. Estimate COGS
at that sales volume
• Important to be aware of fixed / variable elements of COGS
• Review status and current data on scale-up issues

Sales and Marketing Costs


• Examine concentration of customer base: hospital or office based physicians, etc.
• Use IMS sales force sizing / penetration studies.
• Evaluate potential market issues: requirements for physician training and
education, patient education, direction to consumer marketing, etc.

Nominal Versus Real Discount Rates

Nominal rates include the effects of inflation.

Real rates have been adjusted for inflation.

It is important to match cash flows in the forecast to the type


of rate used:

Nominal cash flows with nominal rates and real cash flows with real
rates.

It’s an important distinction because many pharma revenue forecasts


are real whether stated or not. Price increases that are modeled in are
above and beyond normal inflation.

Discount Rate Should Reflect the Cost of Capital

What is the Cost of Capital?


 The cost of capital is a measure of the opportunity cost of capital in an economy.
A company’s cost of capital should equal the marginal return available to
investors in the next best investment opportunity of similar risk available in the
capital markets
 The cost of capital should reflect:

 The return available to investors in the economy on risk-free instruments


 The return that investors require for taking systematic risk over and above
the risk-free rate
 Systematic risk is that which cannot be diversified away.
 Traditionally measured as the weighted average of the cost of equity and
debt. Known as the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

The Cost of Capital is the opportunity cost of money in a competitive market


economy and is a guide to the right discount rate.

WACC is a weighted average of cost of equity and debt, where the weights for cost of debt

Negotiating and Valuing Licensing Deals

NPV Split

• What percent of the rNPV goes to the licensor and licensee?


• Generally the licensor can get more than 50% of the value
• Generally the split is more favorable to the licensor on earlier deals
• Generally the split is more favorable to the licensor when the licensee
is small or in financial difficulty

rIRR to the Licensee

• A key benchmark is what return on investment goes to the licensee


(risk-adjusted internal rate of return)
• A smart licensee avoids putting his capital to work in order to boost
the rIRR
• A smart licensor tries to get the lowest rIRR deal possible
• Surprisingly, many counterparties in pharma negotiations pay less
attention to this metric than they should.

Bargaining Tactics when In-Licensing

BARGAINING TACTICS WHEN IN-LICENSING

2. Know your rIRR limit – generally in the 20 to 30% range.

3. Focus on putting largest payments after key risk points


have been passed

4. Focus discussion on precedent transactions (example at


right)

5. Focus discussion on key issues (e.g., reimbursement,


compliance, other related product revenues)

6. Focus discussion on fit and good job that can be done

7. Include equity as consideration if licensor is cash-strapped


(often is misvalued)

8. Understand liquidation preferences of licensor / seller

67 I
Bargaining Tactics when Out-Licensing

BARGAINING TACTICS WHEN OUT-LICENSING


1. Ask licensor to show what they can do for you. Get financial forecasts if
possible. Ask for a capabilities presentation.

2. Figure out the licensor’s financial modeling approach and assumptions


as best as possible.

3. Figure out the licensor’s hurdle rate on rIRR.

4. Solve for the licensor’s model and the rIRR as terms change.

5. Focus less on deal comparables.

6. Try to get payments made early in the collaboration.

7. Avoid including equity as consideration.

Partnership 36%

Value created at BigPharma by deal: $6,104 million for an investment of $ (78) million in expected terms.

The deal on the table here is for a Phase 1b cardiometabolic drug. The
proposal made of 20mm upfront gives the licensor (big pharma company) a
generous return of 36%. However, the project is highly risky. The licensee
should keep bargaining to try to get the pharma’s return down to a sub 25%
area. This will require getting the upfront to be higher.

69 I
THE M&A SETTING
M&A and Licensing Valuation Analysis are Conceptually Similar

Same exercise but now we are valuing a company rather than a drug.

Sum the rNPVs of the projects of the target company with adjustment
for overhead costs or model the company as a whole (will shown an
example for Eli Lilly).

This gives the target company intrinsic valuation.

Try not to overpay. Valuation is treacherous, particularly with terminal


value assumptions.

Problem is that most M&A deals involving later stage and marketed
assets are NPV negative.

Two ways to think about this:

1. Look at the IRR on your own company – what is your cost of cash?
2. Look at missing elements – particularly the target’s pipeline.

OUR
M&A Analysis Approach at One Pharma

• The Pharma has a well developed approach


– Step 1. Identify cash flows from identifiable products
– Step 2. Discount the cash flows at a rate in the low teens to get the DCF value
– Step 3. Compute the target purchase price as the equity value plus a premium of
30 to 50% (typically 40%) plus debt less cash
– Step 4. Compare the DCF to purchase price of the target
• The difference between enterprise value and DCF is known as pipeline or
science value
• If pipeline value is negative then the valuation test suggests acquire
• If pipeline value is greater than 50% then the valuation test suggests avoid
• If pipeline value is between 0 and 50% then study further and make a
business judgment
• This approach leaves significant room for quantitative and qualitative judgment. It is
intelligent and designed to avoid situations where the pharma overpays for targets.

Factors to Consider in NPV Models of Pharmaceutical Companies

Model each drug in an additive manner.

• Revenues and cost curves for each drug.


• Use reasonable estimates to the curves for the models.

Take drugs out at least 10 to 15 years – past patent expiration dates

• Analyst reports generally stop too soon


• Pay careful attention to patent issues and associated cliffs
• Use analyst reports to get the estimates started

Carefully think about the role of R&D in the model.

• If you keep R&D in then you need a terminal value


• If you leave it out or scale it down then no terminal value required

Be aware of how your own company looks through the same lens

• For the purpose of a stock for stock merger it’s important to look at each party with the
same analytical approach
• If you ignore their pipeline, you should ignore yours etc.
