- In recent years it has been possible to observe

healthcare expenditures. - Hugo Carradinha

5Generic Pricing System

countries?

- In price regulated systems, prices are based on
7Are doctors legally required to prescribe by INN?
8Are doctors encouraged to prescribe by INN?
9How are doctors encouraged to prescribe generic
medicines?
10Generic Market Shares
11Background
- The pricing of generic medicines is largely
unregulated in the European Union. - Where pricing is regulated this is usually
achieved using a reference price (either the
originators or an average of certain other EU
countries). - In most countries doctors are neither legally
required nor encouraged to prescribe generics. - Generic penetration varies widely between EU
countries and does not appear to directly
correlate with either incentives or legal
requirements.

13A look at some of the generic market models
- Czech Republic
- Spain
- Sweden
- Turkey
- United Kingdom
14Czech Republic
- Branded market
- Reference pricing system
- Co-payment above reference price (currently about
7 of total market) - Market dominated by Zentiva
- Czech healthcare system currently struggling
15Spain
- Branded, EFG and copies
- First generic must be 30 below originators
price - Market dominated by local companies
- Generic substitution depends on brand price in
comparison to reference price. - Generic medicines may offer little in the way of
price advantage.
16Sweden
- Unbranded market
- Monthly tenders
- Need to deliver products within 24 hours of order
- Pharmacy substitution (pharmacies are
state-owned) - Branded generics still possible but a difficult
proposition
17United Kingdom
- Unbranded mature generics market.
- INN scripts
- Highly competitive
- Patient co-payment limited to a prescription
charge - First to market key to market share
- Limited opportunities for branded generics
18Turkey
- Branded market
- Dominated by local producers
- First generic must be priced no higher than 80
of originator - Generic must be within a 30 price differential
of the cheapest generic - Pharmacist gets paid a percentage of the product
price - Continued growth expected
19A look at some of the generic market models
- In Europe the principal payer is the state.
- While cost of healthcare is a key concern for
governments, approaches to cost containment vary. - As generic markets mature we can see a clear
progression from a branded model to reference
pricing, INN prescribing and tenders.

21What is the future for the branded generic
markets of Europe?
22Lessons from Germany
- Europes biggest generic market
- Until recently a branded market dominated by a
small number of large players - Large sales forces with strong brand investment
in company name - High barriers to entry
23Lessons from Germany
- 16th February 2006 Dr Reddys acquired Betapharm
for 480m cash (gt 3x sales!). - At the time Betapharm
- Germanys 4th largest generics company
- Germanys fastest growing generics company
- 3.5 market share
- However
24Lessons from Germany
- The AVWG (economic optimisation of pharmaceutical
care) Act came into effect on 1st May 2006 - abolished bonus packs
- no co-payments if product was at least 30 below
reference level - The GKV-WSG Act came into effect on 1st April
2007 - allowed health insurance companies for the first
time to negotiate prices directly with the
manufacturers
25Lessons from Germany
- Price reductions.
- Betapharm lost its 4th position to Aliud.
- Supply of many products from Stada suspended
winter 2006-7 due to commercial dispute. - AOK tenders commenced (AOK represents 25 million
of the 70 million publicly insured people in
Germany). - Betapharm unable to tender for many products.
- Premium price paid by Dr Reddys to enter market
looked unreturnable.
26Dr Reddys Vice Chairman CEO GV Prasad,
February 2006
- Betapharm fitted the bill nicely as it had a
strong sales organization, strong pipeline and
huge brand equity with the doctors in Germany.
Hence, it neatly fitted into our plans for
globalising our generics business - Overall Germany is a great market for generics
without the intense price pressures that one
experiences in the US and the UK. Therefore,
Germany is an important market from a strategic
perspective for Dr Reddys.

markets of Europe?

29What is the future for the branded generic
markets of Europe?

- But
- Potentially attractive margins short term
- A possible platform for future business?
- A chance to
30Make hay while the sun shines!

33Business Development in this changing landscape
- Price will continue to dictate political and
legislative change. - Commodity generic markets are almost inevitable
but the timescale is uncertain. - However, their form is far from certain e.g.
reference pricing, tender markets etc. - So where to invest?
34Business Development in this changing landscape
- Cost of goods will be a paramount consideration
in a market of falling prices. - Acquire to improve vertical integration.
- Consider carefully investment in sales and
marketing infrastructure. - Acquire true brands which will survive
commoditisation.
35Business Development in this changing landscape
- Consider who you want to be
- Brand/Specialty company
- Major generic player, or
- Niche player?
- Have a clear strategy which considers
opportunities - Short-term
- Mid-term
- Long-term
36Timing is everything!
37The last laugh
- Dr Reddys
- Betapharm is still a strong platform for the
German market - Back integration will be key to success in the
German market - India has extremely competitive CoGs
- Scale
- Strong in-house generic pipeline
