Malaysia global generics strategy

Financial impact (US$ Bn) Context Proposal

  • Incoming challenge from regional players due to

ASEAN harmonization

  • High reliance on imports

– RM$4B of imports, vs RM$ 0.8B of exports in 2009

  • High cost base

– Portfolio overlap across 32 local players – Low utilization (30%+) – small batches – High raw material cost - small vol. purchase

  • Archaic facilities (20+ years), resulting in high
  • perating costs to bring up to GMP standards
  • Replicated facilities

GNI 4.3 Net income transfer abroad 0.7 Wages 3.3 EBITDA 1.8 Cost 6.3 Revenue 8.0

Inputs & support required

Job creation

12k jobs

  • Estimate based on calculation
  • f FTEs needed for 60 new

manufacturing facilities by 2020

MOH

  • If drug passes BE

test, immediately place on national formulary

  • Mutual recognition
  • f standards for drug

registration in target markets, allowing direct sale

  • Provide access to all

data for local players

  • More innovative

procurement and treatment system

MITI MATRADE

  • Review FTAs

Assumptions

  • Revenue sources include export, import

substitution, and higher-value products from existing manufacturers

  • Cost and wages based on local and

international benchmark of generic companies

  • Net income transfer assuming 40%

foreign investment in new manufacturing clusters

Contribution to GNI

US$4.3Bn

“High risk high reward” “Misplaced expansion” Evolve or perish “Space Invaders”

Where we want to be

Malaysian generics strategy

'Super' generics

Enhanced generics, e.g. combination, new formulation, etc. (e.g. Panadol ActiFast [2x+ price

  • f Panadol];

amlodipine + tocotrienol)

Generics

"Me-too" version of prescription drugs that have lost patent exclusivity (e.g. Panadol; amlodipine)

Network of facilities to coordinate and

  • ptimize production of

generics New export-focused manufacturing cluster to complement existing resources Current Future

Malaysian players largely producing for domestic market Negligible local participation

Established Malaysian players move up value chain to produce higher value products, e.g. enhanced generics, bio- similars

Increase efficiency to : enable exports, substitute imports, and move into higher value products

slide-9
SLIDE 9

How do we get there?

  • Incubate to upgrade
  • Stay put
  • High risk high reward
  • Misplaced expansion

Managed risk might fail Mitigate risk incremental success Strong domestic share OIC countries footprint Extensive R&D capabilities

“Best in class”

Sales performance Moderate domestic share Regional footprint Adequate R&D capabilities Efficient facility Sales performance Weak domestic share Domestic footprint Limited R&D capabilities Sufficient facility Sales performance

Capacity and capability Profitability

  • Competitive COGS due to best-

in-class clustered facilities

  • Cheaper, better medicine

domestically

  • Competitive for export
  • Sustainable revenue
  • Generate high value jobs and

large GNI impact

  • verlap

Outdated facilities below GMP1 standards Limited export due to lack of cost competitiveness Low capacity utilization Large purchase of imported drugs by gov't (~60% of total MOH purchases) Use localisation to incubate upgrade of existing players' capabilities and facilities Move into higher value- added products, e.g. enhanced generics and bio- similars Create a new cluster of export-oriented manufacturing facilities to complement existing resources Export generic version of recently expired blockbuster products, focusing on OIC markets as a starting point

Malaysia's competitive advantages in the OIC countries

– Malaysia is the only OIC country that adheres to PIC/S guidelines (adopting cGMP) – Industry is well regulated by NPCB to ensure compliance to cGMP – Strong existing manufacturing capabilities (i.e. talent, infrastructure)

  • Existing manufacturing base for generic products
  • Potential increase efficiency in manufacturing that can lead to cost

leadership

– Established leader where "Halal" is concerned

  • Malaysia is taking very strong initiatives in producing "Halal" certified

medicine

  • Malaysia has a well structured Islamic banking and financial infrastructure

in place—track record of innovation and leadership

– Bilateral arrangements between Malaysia and other OIC countries

  • Malaysia currently negotiating FTA agreements with the GCC countries

Halal platform a key differentiator for Malaysia

Unmet need in halal medicine

Halal pharmaceuticals could be worth up to US$500 B, accounting for 22% of global halal products market1 If a halal version of a medicine exists it would be preferred by Muslims, even though medicine is considered lifesaving and hence exempt from halal and haram considerations Halal medicine in very early stages of development due to difficulty of establishing traceability to the source

Competitors on the move, MY must regain the initiative

Brunei launched The Brunei Darussalam Guidelines for Manufacturing and Handling of Halal Medicinal Products, Traditional Medicine & Health Supplements in June 2010 Ambition to attract foreign investment to establish halal pharma manufacturing for export to Muslim world

  • Attracted Canadian OTC

company to establish facilities Pulau Muara Besar port area to be developed into a Halal Pharmaceutical Hub

Nascent development in MY, need concerted development

Increasing interest and efforts from Malaysian companies

  • 9bio, Jakim and OIC SecGen in

discussions with GSK to produce porcine-free meningitis vaccines for the haj pilgrimage; aiming to build R&D and manufacturing facility in Bandar Ensted by 2011

  • Bioven partnered with Cuba to

develop halal vaccines

  • 1. 5th World Halal Forum, KL, June 2010

High potential to develop into a key competitive advantage and differentiator for Malaysian pharma export Needs co-ordinated development + establishment

Market protectionism in 6 core countries call for G-to-G negotiations to gain preferential entry

  • 1. Saudi counsel of ministers resulution NO78 2. UAE Pharmacy federal law No 4, 1983 - article 58 5 3. UAE Federal Law No1 1979

Note: Pharma market attractiveness score based on analysis on three axes: IP laws, Govt policy/reimbursement, and Approval process. See details in next slide Source: BMI Q4 2008 report; BCG Analysis

Elements of pharma market protectionism

  • Manufacturing: Pre-requisite for at least 51% local ownership for manufacturing and Managing

Director or majority of board directors to be UAE nationals2

  • Trade entity (medical store): the licensee should be a UAE national3
  • Import market: no import/export taxes and all profits can be repatriated

UAE

  • Up to 35% tax on imported drugs; 10% for Free Trade Agreement partners i.e. EU, US, Jordan,

Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria – to be gradually abolished by 2012

  • Cannot import if same molecule locally produced
  • Local partner legally required, receiving a legal "Rep Fee" of 20%

Morocco

  • Plant may be built by foreigner but the technical director has to be a registered national

pharmacist1

  • Trade entity (medical store) can only be owned by a Saudi national1
  • Registration easier for drugs manufactured in MENA (excluding Iran), US, Europe and Japan
  • Import market: no import/ export taxes and all profits can be repatriated

KSA

  • Up to 90% tax for imported drugs if similar drug produced locally
  • Key to have contacts at MoH for registration and MoC for importation
  • Drug can be imported once a local doctor prescribes it; more difficult for generics

Iran

  • Importer should develop manufacturing presence within 2 years of entry
  • Up to 30% tax on imported finished good products
  • Can not import if local production meets demand
  • Local import/distributor must pledge 45% of all imports to be generics

Algeria

  • Local producers favoured by authorities i.e. speed of registration (fast track) and price level

approved

  • Theoretical import tax ranging from 4% for raw material to 28% for finished products (range

not enforced) Egypt

Migrate to a more focused set of domestic players. Potential levers include:

  • Bundle multiple adjacent products (e.g. same dosage form, same TA) into large tenders that

need to be fulfilled in its entirety  encourage production rationalization and partnerships to fulfill tenders, laying the groundwork for mergers and acquisitions

  • Require a minimum % of sales to be ploughed back into R&D, as well as a minimum absolute

amount of R&D spend  build innovation capabilities and decrease number of players concentrating on lower value-added commodity products Current status Game plan
