  3. Today’s Presentation • Purpose • introduce/discuss innovative modeling tools for technology valuation • Outline • Biotech Valuation Needs / Approaches • The Biotech (ENPV)Model • Further Discussion CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  4. R&D program design; financing, M&As; licensing/partnering agreements; and strategy development. Biotech Valuation Needs • TOOLS: • discounted cash flow (NPV) • expected value / decision trees • simulation • real options analysis CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  5. Limits to Traditional Valuation • Valuation requires: • Long history of earnings/market prices • Current financial statements that reflect underlying assets • Peer group of readily comparable (traded) firms • BUT, small biotech firms: • No earnings history • IP asset value not on companies books • Seek novel technology with no/few comparisons CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  6. Valuation of Fundamentals • Fundamental value is function of • Cash flows generated by asset • Life of asset • Expected growth • Riskiness of cash flows CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  7. Modeling Approaches Option Pricing FLEXIBILITY (STAGED INVESTMENTS) Decision Tree Analysis (Expected NPV) Monte Carlo Simulation RISK / UNCERTAINTY Discounted Cash Flow (Net Present Value) LONG TIMEFRAME CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  8. Growth and uncertainty CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  9. Biotech ENPV Model • Spreadsheet-based (Microsoft Excel) • Model has common analytical "engine"; can drive different applications: • STRATEGY model • compares different scenarios re. timing of licensing • DEAL model • compares deal terms offered by two parties • Illustrative examples • key model data/results altered to camouflage confidential information CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  10. Key Model Assumptions CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  11. 50% prob. of $ 100 M sale $90 MPROFIT 20% probability of success 50% prob. of $20 M sale Invest $10 M in research for new product $10 M PROFIT 80% prob. of failure Expected Value • Probability-weighted average of possible outcomes EXPECTED VALUE = 80% X -$10 M + 10% X $90 M + 10% X $10 M = $2 M $10 M LOSS CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  16. 100% 67.5% 33.8% 28.7% 90% Modeling Cash Flow Development & Commercialization (Expected Value) 21.5% CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  17. Modeling Cash Flow Development & Commercialization (Expected Present Value) Divide by (1+discount rate)year CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  18. Modeling Cash Flow Development & Commercialization (Expected Present Value) ENPV = $57 m CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  19. Monte Carlo Simulation CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  20. Monte Carlo Simulation CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  21. Strategy Model Scenarios CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  22. Results: Strategy Model CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  23. Results: Strategy Model CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  24. Deal Model • Models licensing negotiation between two parties: • Pharma X • Biotech X • Early stage deal with provisions for • License fees, milestones, research funding; • Allocation (%) development costs, profit-sharing; • Royalty rates, brackets. • Compares competing offers and different assumptions of both sides CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  25. Deal Model Inputs CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  26. Summary - ENPV Allocation ENPV to Biotech X ENPV to Pharma X 200 150 100 50 0 50 100 150 200 Biotech X Offer Straight Licensing Joint Development Pharma X Offer Straight Licensing Joint Development Results: Deal Model CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  27. Limits of Models “All models are wrong. Some are useful.” George Box • Forecasting uncertainty • Modeling error • Spreadsheet error CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  28. Uncertainty and flexibility CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  29. Underlying asset Product (with patent protection) Exercise price Cost of next phase Volatility Technical (private) - development risk Market (public) – competition/price risk Time limit Patent life Types of options Defer - delay/advance research for compound Abandon- option to abandon prior to full commitment of funds; Learning- Invest in additional research re. alternative indications, comparison with other drugs Growth/strategic - platform/pipeline with future unforeseen potential Biotech real options CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech

  30. Summary Biotech (ENPV) Model: • fundamental (cash flow) basis for valuation • allows for scenario comparison / tailoring of assumptions • uses expected value & Monte Carlo methods to assess risk/uncertainty • customizable to suit different business needs (e.g., deals, strategy, financing) • easily adapted to other biotech applications (e.g. tools, medical devices) CFO Roundtable - Valuing Biotech
