Novartis sells blood transfusion test unit to Grifols for $1.7 billion- 11/14/2013
Company overview: in FY 2012, Revenue $57 billion, by segments: Pharmaceuticals 57%, Eye care (Alcon) 18%, Generics (Sandoz) 15%, Consumer health 6.6%, Vaccines and diagnostics 3.3% 3 year CAGR: Phar 2%, Eye care 32%, Consumer health -5%, Vaccines and diagnosis -14% Operating income:$11.5 billion, Pharmaceuticals 80%, Eye care 12%, Generics 9%, Consumer health .4%, Vaccines and diagnosis: -2%, Vaccines and diagnosis compositions in Assets 5.8%, COR 7.6%, R&D 4.9%, CapEx 6.4% Segments under review: Consumer healthcare 7%, Vaccines 3%, totaled 5.2 billion
Pipeline: 17 major approvals in 2012. Gilenya gained blockbuster status, revenue increased from 15 million to 1.2 billion in 3 years. 200 in clinical development, 138 in pharmaceuticals.
Shift in future focus: Pharmaceutical industry trend: consolidation, M&A, focus on core operations: PFE, Zoetis spin-off, Merck: Human health and animal health potential spin-off. 1. Hang on with world leading operations. 2. Consecutive nets sales decline and operating losses for Vaccines and diagnostics segment. 3. 2012 10K: Innovation growth and productivity: - develop new products and grow portfolios, diversify pipeline, leverage procurement to cut costs. streamline processes and grow new products.
Is it a good deal? 1. For Norvatis: purchase price= 1.68 billion, 3* segment sales (565 million), operating income -250 million, the valuation seems to be quite generous 2. For Grifols: Diagnostics will account for 20% revenue after acquisition, consolidate and become the leaders in vaccine and diagnostics amid industry structural shits. Win-win for both parties.
Novartis Generates 57m in 2012 Provide healthcare solutions, 5 major business areas sales: • Pharmaceuticals 57% • Alcon18% • Sandoz 15% • Consumer health 7% • Vaccines and Diagnostics 3%

Is it good for both?
For Novartis: • No synergies to the remainder of the Novartis group. We know diagnostics and Vaccines 75 million loss • The price of three times sales fair? 2012 net sales 565 million. Price 1.68 billion
For Grifols: Info: Grifols SA is a Spain-based company engaged in the healthcare sector. The Company is involved in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of medical solutions for hospitals, which include plasma-derived therapies, as well as diagnosis and pharmaceutical products.
After this acquisition, Grifols will expand its portfolio by including Novartis€ diagnostic products for transfusion medicine and immunology, including its highly innovative, market-leading NAT technology (Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques), instrumentation and equipment for blood screening, specific software and reagents.
Positive: • Third largest blood products maker, making up 20percent of its revenue will expand Grifols's core business in the U.S. to plants in California, North Carolina and Barcelona • The Novartis deal will help Grifols diversify further from its home market, which makes up just around 6% of the company's current revenue. Negative: • The Spanish government's power to control prices has made business in the country difficult. • The government is going to reduce the value of Spanish money.

Net sales of sold unit in 2012: around $565 million, 1% of total net sales. Benefits to Grifols: the world's third-largest blood products maker -A significant U.S. presence, which is small previously -Diagnostics will make up 20 percent of its revenue, up from 4 percent now

Vaccines and diagnostics division • Established in 2006 \Heavy R&D investment in vaccine but little return • Menveo contribute to the sales growth in this division • Reduce its dependence on prescription drugs\Biological medicines that are less exposed to generic competition • European Medicines Agency approves for a new drug (Bexsero) in curing Meningococcal disease/Estimated sales of $700 million in 2020 • A standalone vaccines business could fetch $6.3 billion
Novartis has five business segments: Pharmaceuticals, which makes up 56% of the total revenue; Alcon, eye product business, 18%; Sandoz, the generic business, 16%; Consumer Healthcare 7%, and Vaccines has the rest 4%. But in terms of operating income, Pharmaceutical dominates with roughly 80% of the total, while Alcon and Sandoz takes 10% each. Consumer health and vaccines segments have only minor or even negative contributions to the total operating income. It turns out that the blood transfusion testing unit is under Novartis’ Vaccines and Diagnostics business, which has negative operating income for 5 quarters since 2012. And of course, company is also considering selling the underperforming Consumer Health business, which includes over-the-counter products and animal health. The main drawback for these businesses is that they do not have economy of scale as other businesses do within Novartis, and they have a much higher share in expenses than that in revenue. So the only logical alternative for the company at this point is to increase scale. For the company strategy, Novartis will focus on its three core businesses: pharmaceuticals, eye care and generic medicines, all of which have annual revenue of at least $10 billion and a ranking of first or second in its field. A Wall Street Journal articles points out that after the sales, the company may consolidate its vaccines portfolio into its pharmaceutical division. This could help the company reduce costs. Like other top competitors, the company is looking into opportunities to buy small biotech companies to expand its pipelines, while the management thinks current prices are too high in the healthcare sector. So if there is any potential acquisition, it’s probably not in the short term. The company could use cash proceedings from sales of its business to fund its future acquisition, and it has a very healthy free cash flow figure. I share Haohan and Stone’s views that the company maintains one of the industry’s strongest pipelines: its Pharmaceutical R&D projects include 71 new compounds, which is among the highest in the industry. Sandoz, the generic business, had 12 first-to-files and further expanded its lead in differentiated products. The company’s business is increasingly affected by pressures on pricing for its products. Novartis’s Pharmaceutical business, it has relative stable pricing power, as the pricing contributed 1 percentage point for the first nine months in 2013, but had a negative impact of 1 percentage point in 2012.
The Group’s wholly owned businesses are organized into six global operating divisions, and report the results in the following five segments: • Pharmaceuticals:- Net profit: 9.6 billion and 80.3% of the total (Group total operating profit) • Alcon: (Eye care) - Net profit: 1.5 billion and 12.3% of the total • Sandoz:(Generic Pharm.) - Net profit: 1.1 billion 9.1% of the total • Vaccines and Diagnostics - Net Loss: 250 million of the total • Consumer Health:(OTC &Animal Health) - Net profit: 48 million 0.4% of the total
