28 VALUATIONS PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

29 Pharmaceutical Valuations Must think of the company as a collection of different experimental drugs that each have a market potential Treat each promising drug as a mini- company within the portfolio How to Valuate – do a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) on each drug

30 Probabilities of Success in the Pharmaceutical World Each new drug conceived has a 1% chance of making it to the market..…...therefore each drug in pre-clinical trails are assigned zero value Entering Phase I trials = 15% prob. of success Entering Phase II trials = 30% prob. of success Entering Phase III trails = 60% prob. of success Entering FDA approval = 90% prob. of success
