Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Since the financial meltdown, the relationship between Pharma and Biotech has
been turned on its head. Previously, pharma companies had no choice but to
license Biotech drugs at high prices in order to fill their sparse late stage
pipelines.
Scope
- Overview licensing trends up until the credit crisis
- Strategic analysis of biotech' s funding crisis
- Insight into how the biopharma market is expected to change and adapt
- Recommendations and potential financial solutions for biotech
Report Highlights
While Pharma is likely to prefer acquiring biotech targets out right, rather
than navigating the road of complex licensing agreements, Datamonitor expects
that licensing agreements will remain among Pharma and self sufficient biotech
companies. Although snapping up struggling Biotechs through M&A will be a
priority for Pharma.
Biotech companies are tackling their funding crises on two fronts; firstly, by
cutting costs and reducing their high cash-burn rates, and secondly attempting
to access quick cash from external sources. However, this is becoming a tough
task.
The lack of deals on the horizon, Biotech' s funding crisis, and subsequent
loss of confidence in the industry, have all led the market cap of
non-profitable US biotech companies to fall by a third since September 2008.
Reasons to Purchase
- Understand how licensing trends have evolved in recent years, and what
impact the financial crisis has had
- Assess how Pharma and Biotech' s relationship has changed and the
repercussions of this
- Identify cost saving and cash raising strategies in order to weather the
funding crisis
Table of Contents
- CHAPTER 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- Scope of the report
- Key findings
- CHAPTER 2 LICENSING TRENDS AND THE CREDIT CRISIS
- Why has Pharma' s R&D been in crisis?
- Until the financial meltdown, licensing was becoming an increasingly
expensive and complex option for Pharma
- The credit crunch has given Pharma a stay of execution from its R&D
crisis
- Cash and time is on Pharma' s side
- Pharma has been given a stay of execution, but still needs to address
its internal R&D crisis
- Licensing deals made by Big Pharma continue to fall
- The majority of Big Pharma are making fewer licensing deals
- Pharma' s competition to restock pipelines has driven up licensing
costs in recent years
- There has been a dramatic decline in $0-50m deals since Q1 2008 due
to the credit crunch
- Competition and high deal prices have traditionally led Pharma to
license earlier-stage drug candidates
- Pharma is now looking to license Phase III bargains from cash-hungry
biotech companies
- Oncology, anti-infective and CNS drugs remain popular in-licensing
targets
- CHAPTER 3 BIOTECH' S FUNDING CRISIS
- Biotech funding options - then... and now
- Biotech funding options - then
- Biotech funding options - now
- Traditional strategies to improve biotech valuations no longer apply
- Financing deals are harder to come by
- The death of IPOs - at least for now
- Bankruptcy - a likely end for numerous struggling biotech
- Selling - M&A, licensing and divesting
- Companies will forgo licensing agreements due to the short window of
opportunity
- M&A - potential buyers
- Biotech acquisition targets
- M&A - announced and completed
- Future M&A targets
- Divesting - a less drastic alternative to a complete takeover
- Reverse mergers have a poor track history
- CHAPTER 4 FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS FOR BIOTECH
- Biotech need to cut costs and raise cash fast
- Putting Biotech on ice - to buy time, Biotech needs to spend less
- Suspend any unessential R&D
- Restructure and retaining only core personnel
- Outsourcing where possible rather than carrying out functions in-house
- Spin-out high cash-burning units
- Merging with other biotechs to strip out redundancies
- Selling - the company, assets, and royalty streams
- Pay cuts for biotech directors
- Funding strategies for Biotech
- Government support - Pharma needs to lobby governments for cash
- US - Biotech lobbying Congress for tax rebates
- EU - UK Biotech lobby' s government for cash
- Novel investor strategies - more risk, but few alternatives
- Grants - only companies with drugs in development for chronic,
debilitative and fatal diseases will be considered
