The Challenge of Transforming Scientific Innovation into Commercial Success Dr. Norbert Riedel Kellogg Biotech Symposium April 16, 2004
Healthcare is Changing Rapidly • Increasing age of world population • Increased prevalence of life-threatening conditions • Cost-containment pressure from governments and other payors • Expanding patient knowledge and empowerment • More diverse sources of innovation • Personalized Medicine • Rapid technological change

Top Ten Companies Worldwide in Prescription Sales for the First Six Months of 2003
Leading Major Companies by Profitability (profit as % of sales) in 2002
BIO’s Biotech Drug Approval List Also approved in 2003 were 13 additional recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, small-molecule products and selected tissue-engineered products. Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) considered relevant to the sector. With the exception of FluMist and Advate, all these products were transferred from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) to CDER, but were not included on CDER’s list of NME approvals for 2003.
With only 31 new active substances last year, the much-vaunted revolution in drug development still seems a long way off.

Key Business Challenges for Biotech • Create a strategic vision for “grown up” companies • Deliver earnings to support valuations • Structure value maximizing alliances with traditional pharmaceutical companies • Evaluate mergers and acquisitions • Build production capacity
Challenge: Define Strategic Vision • What is the appropriate vision? • Fully integrated pharmaceutical company or pure discovery engine? • What therapeutic / technology focus should a company have? • Diagnostics, delivery or drugs? Technology Play? • What supporting functions, processes are needed? • Discovery to development to portfolio management to marketing
Challenge: Translate InnovationInto Earnings • How do companies maximize the value of their: • Technology platforms • Identify the appropriate targets and tools • Development candidates • Balance technical and commercial risk • Marketed products • Expand capacity and develop line extension strategies
Challenge: StructureValue-Maximizing Alliances • Alliances between biotechs and pharma firms will become even more important • How do biotechs balance short-term funding needs with long-term value maximization? • What are the elements of win-win alliances? • What strategic frameworks and processes can shape future alliances?
Some of the more significant deals signed between pharma and biotech companies last year. Valuations cannot be directly compared because they have not been uniformly calculated.
Biotech Disappointments • Merck & Co drops Celltech compound • Novo Nordisk tries to stop Pfizer ending its hormone replacement therapy deal • Lilly drops Ono’s sivelestat • Lilly ends a deal to develop oral insulin with Generex • Biogen ends Icos deal • Bayer shelves key PPL project • Pfizer ends deal with Phytopharm’s P57 obesity project • AstraZeneca pulls out of a deal with NicOx • Cambridge Antibody Technology/Abbott deal goes sour • GlaxoSmithKline scraps its oral insulin deal with Nobex • Abbott scraps its diabetes deal with Karo Bio • Pfizer hands back Celltech’s antiheumatic • Pfizer returns product rights to Debiopharm
Challenge: Evaluate M&A • The biotech industry is still highly fragmented, and more consolidation is inevitable • Successful companies will proactively evaluate: • When is the right time for M&A? • What attributes make a candidate attractive? • What synergies exist, and how quickly can they be realized?
Biotech companies are consolidating among themselves or being bought up by pharma
