Learning Objective 1 Recognise the key components of published corporate financial information and distinguish between their principal functions whilst reviewing the key conceptual issues which underpin the production of the information

Topic 1 – Basic Financial Concepts Financial accounting The income statement and balance sheet Deferred revenue, depreciation / amortization, tax and foreign exchange, Pharmaceutical industry accounts and accounting issues, Profit versus cash flow

The Financial Triangle P&L, balance sheet and cash flow are linked Example: capital spend Cash Flow Capital spend 10m January 17 Life of machine 10 years Profit & Loss / Income Statement Depreciation 1m Jan - Dec 17 Balance Sheet Fixed asset 9m December 17

Profit and Loss Account / Income Statement

Balance Sheet - basic accounting equation Assets What a company owns Liabilities What a company owes Equity What is leftover for the owners of the company This equality must always be true Example: An increase in an assets must be offset by a decrease in an asset or an increase in a liability or equity

Balance sheet item definitions Assets Accounts receivableMoney owned from customers Inventory Assets held for sale (or in process of being produced for sale) Prepaid expenses Expenses that are paid in advance (e.g. rent) Property, plant, equipment Land, building and equipment owned by the company, shown before and after depreciation Deferred charges Asset used to reduce future income (usually taxes) Goodwill Intangible asset created upon an acquisition Liabilities and shareholders‘ equity Accounts payable Money owed to vendors for product purchased Accrued liabilities Expenses incurred but not yet paid (e.g. salaries) provisions Capital lease obligations Payments on a lease treated as a loan Deferred credits / revenue Income received but not yet reported as income Loans Money borrowed from banks or shareholders Minority interest Third party ownership in company subsidiary Stockholders‘ equityInterest in assets after all liabilities are paid

Balance Sheet – Medivation 31 Dec 08

Some Important Accounting Issues Financial standards require revenue and costs to be ‘matched’ over time. – 225m revenue received by Medivation is ‘recognised’ over the period until the obligations and costs for that revenue have been exhausted. Medivation estimated 3.46 years so annual revenue recognised each year is 65m. Remainder is ‘deferred revenue’ (Topic 1) Depreciation and amortisation – the spreading of costs over the useful life of the asset – Depreciation of tangible asset (equipment) 10m over 10 years 1m per year – Amortisation of intangible asset (IP licence fee) 10m over remaining life of patent say 8 years 1.25m per year Impairment – the write down in value of a long term asset because the value is no longer expected to generate the cash flow originally expected. – Goodwill on a company acquisition is written down in value because the acquisition is found not to have the cash generating capability originally expected Why are accounting issues important?

Profit / (Loss) is not the same as Cash Flow Cash flow: Excludes non-cash items in P&L – Depreciation and amortisation – Provisions e.g. bad debt, accruals – Stock based compensation Includes cash items not in P&L account – License fees treated as deferred revenue Pfizer upfront of 225m only shown as 13m in 2008, 212m more cash than profit – Capital expenditure and acquisitions – Change in working capital Receivables, inventory, payables – Dividend payments and debt repayments Cash flow is basis for calculation of Payback, Net Present Value & Internal Rate of Return Cash flow Post tax profit (incl non cash) Plus (add back) Non cash items (D&A) minus Change in working capital minus Capital expenditure minus Dividends / finance costs* * Ignored in valuation

Profit vs Cash Flow Medivation Cash Flow and Income Statement

Learning Objective 2 Undertake a range of calculations to demonstrate the financial strengths and weaknesses of pharmaceutical businesses, to recognise the limitations of such information and to communicate the information in an appropriate manner

Topic 2 - Financial Performance Measures, Working Capital and Cash Flow Financial ratios Working capital management Cash flow

Company Performance Analysis Financial Ratio Analysis is used to assess the strength and weaknesses of companies – As a company – In comparison to its peer group Financial information readily available for public companies Significant differences between large and small pharma companies, generics, OTC and biotech Look at trends, compare ratios to other companies, explain results by reference to the business context

KEY indicators of company performance Profit margins – Gross profit, EBITDA, operating profit margin, post tax profit margin – Return on equity [Profit after tax/Equity], earnings per share [EPS] Solvency – Rate of cash burn - Medivation 75m cash burn, 222m cash 3 years ‘runway’ – Quick asset ratio (current assets – inventory)/current liabilities Efficiency – Return on capital employed [Operating profit/Shareholders Equity] – Working capital ratios: days of receivables, inventory, payables Financial Gearing ratio (Debt / Equity) measures ‘leverage’ Acceptable level of gearing depends on company and sector Large company generating large positive cash flow can have high gearing Why are these ratios important?

Working Capital Cash required to run the business – Current assets: inventory plus receivables (debtors) less – Current liabilities: payables (creditors) Calculated in a financial model as Cash flow Post tax profit (incl non cash) Plus (add back) Non cash items (D&A) minus Change in working capital minus Capital expenditure minus Dividends / finance costs* – Inventory CoGS x days of inventory * Ignored in valuation – Receivables Sales x days of sales outstanding – Payables Other costs (excl. employment) x creditor days taken Difference between working capital balance at start and end of year working capital movement used in cash flow Usually small for patented pharmaceutical products

Understanding Costing Necessary in order to be able to cost and price products under supply agreements, licensing and development agreements (Topic 3, page 2) Full costing (absorption costing) is necessary to understand the total cost of a product including the overheads (Topic 3, page 5)

Cost of goods and distribution costs [USD] COG: Variable costs driven by volume variable costs Raw and packing materials Direct labour to manufacture and pack Key drivers: Batch size, yield, efficiency fixed costs COG: Fixed costs (Overhead allocation) #units Heat, light, power, warehousing, depreciation Consider only additional costs for stand-alone decision – Extra shift for manufacturing? Distribution costs: % of sales unless special conditions Why is cost of goods important?

Understanding Costing Marginal costing is important to assist with decision-making where understanding cost behaviour becomes vital (Topic 3 page 18) It is important to understand the relationship between profit mark-up and the margins earned especially in situations where there may be a manufacturer, a wholesaler and a pharmacist (Topic 3 page 9)

Learning Objective 4 Contrast the different means by which pharmaceutical business raise their finance and appraise the impact of such finance on the cost of capital of the organisation and its effect on appraisals of company value and deal structures

Topic 4 – Long Term Decision Making Source of finance Present Value Analysis, Discounted Cash Flow, Internal Rate of Return Cost of capital

Sources and Types of Funding Sources Government or NGO grants (part of company operating cash flow) Company cash flow, if positive – Trading, licensing income, royalty monetisation Investors (private and public) - equity Banks - debt Types of funds Company operating cash flow Shares - Ordinary or Preference Loans - Repayment or Convertible Application of funds - Why it important to understand funding? Pay interest and tax Buy assets Fund working capital

Net Present Value (NPV) The objective of NPV is to ensure long-term decisions maximise market value of shareholder wealth (Topic 4, page 11) Long time span between research and marketing in pharma industry so financial decisions must take account of the time value of money (Topic 4, page 13) Money received or expended in the future is worth less than the same amount received or spent today – an earlier receipt of money defers financing costs or an earlier payment increases them Discounted cash flow converts future receipts and payments to present value by using a discounting technique (Topic 4 page 15)

Net Present Value The discounting technique uses the opportunity cost of capital or weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as the discount rate. (Topic 4, page 15) – Company funding derived from debt and equity. If 40% debt at 5.9% interest and 60% equity at 7.7% investor return then WACC 7% discount rate AZ post tax WACC Organisations should not invest in projects which do not yield in excess of the weighted average cost of capital. (Topic 4, page 15) Projects with a significantly positive Net Present Value can be accepted

Learning Objective 5 Demonstrate ability to use a computer spreadsheet to produce financial information using a number of methodologies in order to – Value a business proposal - valuation – Appraise critically the strengths and weaknesses of the information and methodologies used – Assess the impact of risk on the valuation

Topic 5 - Financial Modelling Sales and cost forecasting Cash flow forecasts Discounted cash flow, NPV, IRR, payback Terminal value Sensitivity analysis

Sales Forecasting Process Top down or bottom up or both Identify appropriate forecast method(s) – Epidemiological – Market based – Historic trend Calculate peak sales – Zipf’s law – Market research intention to Rx, share of voice, health economics – Comparisons to similar products peak sales Identify appropriate product life cycle – Adoption curve to peak sales – Sales trend post peak sales

Market Share Drivers - Xtandi Number of competitors and timing of entrant – Zipf’s Law Competitive advantage versus competitor (Zytiga) – Improved clinical or safety outcomes / intention to prescribe Price levels and health economic benefits - market access – Pricing acceptable to payers Share of voice versus competitors – Target audience salesforce calls and marketing spend

Adoption Curves

Operating Costs Develop forecasts for each cost element: Cost of goods, distribution, royalties payable Sales and Marketing R&D and regulatory Medical and pharmacovigilance Administration, finance and other Amortisation and depreciation Interest (ignore) Tax (include if possible)

Project P&L excluding deal terms

NPV Formula Cash flow is discounted at discount rate or WACC (weighted average cost of capital) DCF CFn (1 R)n – CF cash flow – R discount rate – n year NPV Σ0n CFn (1 R)n Internal rate of return is the discount rate where NPV 0

Learning Objective 6 To develop an understanding of the application of valuation methods in various types of deals and the assessment and management of risk including: – Valuation methods and the advantages and disadvantages of each method; – The assessment of risk and how it can be managed both internally and externally; – How different deal terms can be used to manage risk; – The importance of different financial terms in various types of deals; – How legal drafting can affect the financial deal terms

Topic 6 - Valuation Methods and Management of Risk Overview of valuation methods Project risk assessment and management Financial deal terms Valuation and risk in different types of deals Financial aspects in legal agreements

Valuation Methods Market Comparables / benchmarks Rules of thumb Financial Companies: Market cap Cost Income Multiples Net book value Non-discounted cash flow Discounted cash flow 25% rule Cost incurred Accounting rate of return NPV and IRR Replacement cost Payback eNPV Decision Trees Monte Carlo analysis Real Options Payback can also be calculated using DCF

Benchmark Deal Terms

Financial Valuation and Deal Terms Each party Calculates target share of project NPV Splits NPV between – Upfront, development and sales milestones – R&D costs payable to other side and royalty on sales Calculates NPV for themselves and for other party Starts negotiation – Aligns expectations Product potential peak sales, benchmark deal headline value, NPV share – Negotiates specific financial terms

Financial Analysis of Deal Value for Each Party

Licensee Share of NPV

Risk Analysis Hurdle Rates Multiple Scenarios Probability Adjustments – Simple probability of success/failure at each development phase – Decision tree analysis Black box methods Monte Carlo simulation Real Options Valuation

Managing Risk Governance – Project management, dispute mechanism Deal terms pre signature negotiated to share risk – Milestones linked to performance Payments by indication by territory – Milestones and royalty linked to sales 4 tiers of sales – Profit sharing arrangements e.g. co-commercialisation Post signature re-negotiation of deal terms – 5 amendments of UCLA/Medivation, 2 of Medivation/Astellas

Risks for Medivation and Astellas? Medivation Astellas

Risks for Medivation and Astellas Medivation Astellas Product fails in development Product registered but limited indication Competition Astellas fails to promote IP challenge Product fails in development Product registered but limited indication Competition Medivation fails to promote in US IP challenge Cost of manufacture higher than plan Medivation insolvent Astellas terminates

Management of Risks for Medivation Risks Mitigation Product fails in development Product registered but limited indication Competition Astellas fails to promote IP challenge Astellas terminates High upfront and early milestones Manage governance (committees) Astellas non compete Absolute obligations so in breach Astellas to step in Return of rights and data free

Management of Risks for Astellas Risks Mitigation Product fails in development Low upfront, late milestones, more royalties Reduce promotion Product registered but limited indication Competition Medivation fails to promote in US IP challenge Cost of manufacture than plan Medivation insolvent Medivation non compete Royalty reduced Reduction in profit share Astellas step in but M help Takeover manufacture US law with legal protection

Financial Deal Terms in the Legal agreement What issues arise? Definition of net sales and profit (for profit share) – Net sales - free goods, rebates, bundling, combinations – Profit – costs to be charged Governance and decision making – Dispute procedure Reporting and right to audit – Development and market activity and royalties Hardship or Insolvency – Ownership of IP Termination – Both, Medivation, Astellas right to terminate
