SO WHAT’S UP WITH: THE MARKET Looking P/E Multiples and History
WHERE TO FROM HERE? • Having reached all-time highs – can we go higher? • Are multiples out of line? • Will earnings falter? • What if the Fed “pulls the plug?” • WHAT IF?!!!!!
FIRST – LET’S LOOK AT HISTORIC MULTIPLES: • The Average P/E since 1870’s - about 15 • Since 1970 – 18.8 • If you “toss” the 3 highest and 3 lowest numbers – 17.6* *Note: This will take out the recession “swings.”
WHAT ABOUT EARINGS: • The Average earnings since 1970 - $35.25 • If you toss the 3 highest and 3 lowest numbers – $32.74 • Take that number and “deflate” it = about $99.28 (using aver rate of 4.4%)
SO: • The current multiple (17.5) is about average (from last 43 years at 17.6) • Current projected earnings at $109.52 (according to S&P) are not that disjointed from the average real earnings of $99.28
NOW LET’S TOSS IN THE INFLATION FACTOR According to Wells Fargo research, if inflation is below 4%... …historic P/E multiples are above the norm almost 70% of the time. Since 1945, the odds are better (70% beat) They use 15 as the long term P/E multiple
KNOWNS AND UNKNOWNS • KNOWNS: • Multiples do not appear to be out of balance • The Fed (plus all Central Banks) have the power • Crisis “residual” and constant negatives depress confidence • There has not been a fund “rotation” of any significance (Bonds –M/M) • Even slow, continued growth improves confidence • There are no competing markets at this juncture • Earnings forecasts seem negative – more wait and see attitude • Business in uncertain • Excessive regulation is tough • Markets are LEADING INDICATORS
KNOWNS AND UNKNOWNS • UNKNOWNS • Europe • Government • The Fed’s “unwind” • Global Central Banks • Emerging Markets • China • Global Business Climate • Consumer • Employment • Alternative Markets • Inflation
CONCLUSIONS: • 60/40 is not protection • In the “hands” of the Fed (they made it – they can break it) • Fed raising rates is actually a necessity…. • ……But –the exit strategy is critical • Slow growth is OK • World economies are important • To capture the market’s potential we will need a pullback • Inflation is a critical factor • The balance between multiples and earnings is not clear – don’t make too many assumptions • Biggest risk is uncertainty
A “TALE OF TWO CITIES” • CITY #1 • Good Fed exit • Inflation remains at target 2.5 to 3.0% • 3.5% GDP growth next 3 years • Market multiple of 17.5 • Earnings increase at 3.5% (now about $98) • Target S&P = 1900 • CITY #2 • Bad Fed exit • Inflation soars above 4% • Less than 3% GDP growth next 3 years • Market multiple of 14 • Earnings increase at 2.5% (now about $98) • Target S&P = 1477 (Ouch!)

PERRIGO ACQUISITION OF VELCERA, INC. -- KNOWN FOR ITS PETARMOR® FRANCHISE OF FLEA AND TICK TREATMENTS -- CLOSES APRIL 1, 2013 Velcera, together with major retail partners, has been instrumental in developing an OTC market for pet health products traditionally dispensed only by veterinarians. Retail sales of the PetArmor® franchise exceeded $100 million during calendar year 2012, the value-brand's first full year on the market, having launched in April 2011. Velcera sales for calendar year 2012 were approximately $60 million. The PetArmor® franchise brand will be supported by a number of pipeline product candidates in both flea and tick and health and wellness categories that will continue to bring additional vet technologies to the hands of consumers in the mass market. • Slightly accretive to adjusted EPS/dilutive to GAAP EPS 2013 • Expected $0.11 accretive adjusted EPS/neutral to marginally dilutive GAAP EPS 2014 • Fully accretive 2015
Perrigo Co. (PRGO) POSITIVES:Perrigo is the market leader in generic releases of prescription drugs that receive OTC approval, participating in roughly 80% of such domestic launches. Possible concerns:Johnson & Johnson's eventual return to the OTC market and a gradually improving economy should slow Perrigo's market share gains in its store-brand consumer health segment.

Against this backdrop of escalating costs, the Generic Drug Savings analysis shows conclusively that the use of lower cost generic prescription drugs is a vital component to holding down the growth rate of health care spending. As the study shows, generic drug use has saved the U.S. health care system approximately $1.07 trillion over the past decade (2002 through 2011) with $192.8 billion in savings achieved in 2011 alone. Considering that the government’s share of health care spending will soon exceed 30 percent as the oldest baby boomers become eligible for Medicare, the money saved by using generic medicines is critical to bending the cost curve and providing sustainability to our health care system. Indeed, the NHEA report concluded that, while overall health care costs continue to grow at a rate higher than national economic growth, the growth in drug spending is slowing (only 1.2 percent in 2010), driven by “continued increase in the use of generic medications.” THINK ACA!!
