Meanwhile, a second patent cliff is ahead: blockbuster drugs (including several biologics) worth USD249b will lose patent protection over 2016-2020. In short, things are looking good for the Korean companies AT A GLANCE that lead the global biosimilar market. Sea change for Korean healthcare: Over 2012-2017, Korean healthcare firms made massive Hanmi Pharmaceutical progress on R&D, B2B operations, and exports. Some signed large out-licensing deals with global (128940 KS, KRW364,000) pharmaceutical firms. Korea-made biosimilars dominate the global market, while Korea-made botulinum toxins and fillers are gaining global market share. We expect Korea to produce the Target price: KRW450,000 (23.6%) world’s top biologics contract manufacturing organization and one of the world’s top-ten chemical- drug contract manufacturing services. Successes over the past five years owe much to the Samsung Biologics (207940 KS, KRW213,500) accumulation of technology, effective business strategies, investments by chaebol , and supportive government policies. Over the next five years, Korean healthcare firms should enter a virtuous cycle wherein stronger brand equities and track records lead to greater financial gains. Target price: KRW260,000 (21.8%) Monitor policy, regulatory direction: Korea’s healthcare industry should benefit if the Hugel (145020 KS, KRW451,900) government keeps election pledges to nurture the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries; halts the introduction of for-profit medical corporations; and raises subsidies for implants, hearing aids, and Alzheimer’s treatments. But prescription-drug makers will suffer if a Target price: KRW570,000 (26.1%) total drug cost limit is enforced. Focus on firms specialized in OTC drugs, supplements, biotech, diagnostics, medical aesthetics, and medical devices. Dentium (145720 KS, KRW37,450) To make visible progress on R&D, B2B fronts: In 2H, Hanmi Pharmaceutical should begin global Phase III clinical trials for Efpeglenatide and resume global Phase I trials for Target price: KRW50,000 (33.5%) HM12525A/JNJ-64565111; Green Cross should win US approval for IVIG; Samsung Biologics should win US and European approval for three biosimilars; Medytox-Allegan should begin global ST Pharm (237690 KS, KRW48,400) Phase III trials for Innotox; Kolon Life Science should win domestic approval for Invossa; Genexine and Qurient should make progress on their B2B operations; and Seegene should begin supplying ODM products to Beckman Coulter. Target price: KRW56,000 (15.7%) Operating profit growth: We have operating profits at our covered large pharmaceutical firms, Huons (243070 KS, KRW58,800) medium-sized pharmaceutical firms, biotech, medical-diagnostics, medical-aesthetics, and medical- device firms growing 32.9%, 12.6%, 123.2%, 26.5%, 51.6%, and 15.6% y-y, respectively, in 2017. Medical aesthetics profits should stand out in 2Q on rising demand. In 2H, large pharmaceutical Target price: n/a firms should shine on base effect and SG&A cost-cutting; biotech firms should shine on export * Share price and financials based on growth. We foresee outstanding earnings growth over 2Q-4Q for Hanmi Pharm, Donga ST, May 26 Celltrion, Seegene, and Hugel. Healthcare 2017. 6. 15 Contents 1H review: Poverty in the p2 midst of plenty Pharmaceutical market p7 outlook Visible progress to be made p32 on R&D and B2B fronts Government policy p52 warrants attention 1H review: Poverty in the midst of plenty Key issues in 2H p68 Healthcare indices largely in line with market in 1H; stock performances diverge Solid earnings momentum p87 in 2H Kospi Medical Supplies Index performing in line in 1H: The Kospi Medical Supplies Index Company p105 peaked at 11,297 on Jun 10, 2016, bottomed at 6,988 on Dec 2, 2016, and bounced back to stand at 8,888 on May 26, 2017. The index is up 17.1% ytd, in line with the Kospi’s ytd gains of 16.2%. The index excluding Samsung Biologics was valued as high as 40.1x P/E (Jul 22, 2016) and as low as 18.5x (Nov 18, 2016). It was valued at 26.2x on May 26, 2017. Kosdaq Pharmaceutical Index underperforming in 1H: The Kosdaq Pharmaceutical Index peaked at 7,552 on Feb 5, 2016, bottomed at 5,662 on Mar 24, 2017, and crept back up to stand at 6,209 on May 26, 2017.

Sector sentiment weakening: Investors have been in thrall to the IT sector in 1H on prospects of record earnings amid a semiconductor supply shortage and smartphone launches. Cyclical sectors have also appealed to those who anticipate US infrastructure investments and inflation under President Trump. In contrast, the belief that the US has begun a period of rate hikes has reduced the investment appeal of high-multiple sectors. Sentiment towards the healthcare sector weakened after Hanmi Pharmaceutical in 2016 announced that some out-licensing contracts it signed in 2015 have been revised or canceled. The sector has remained lackluster in 1H due to a lack of standout R&D successes and earnings momentum. Still, steep share-price corrections in late 2016 made valuations less demanding, leading shares to bottom out in 1Q. Oversold stocks and those with earnings momentum bounce back in 1H: The Kospi Medical Supplies Index performed in line with the Kospi, but stocks with earnings momentum posted the steepest share-price gains. Among our covered healthcare stocks, Samsung Biologics is up 41.4% ytd, Medytox 42.1%, Hugel 40.7%, Hanmi Pharmaceutical 27.4%, and Yuhan 24.6%. Also, stocks that had plunged more than 50% from their previous peaks have rebounded almost 20% from their lows as bargain hunters snapped them up. Healthcare stocks that have rebounded strongly include Huons Global (45.4%), Hanmi Pharmaceutical (36.8%), Hanmi Science (32.3%), and Jeil Pharmaceutical (30.3%). 2 Healthcare 2017. 6. 15 Korean healthcare indices: Relative performances (Indexed: Jan 1, 2017 = 100) 120 115 110 105 100 95 90 85 80 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Kospi Kospi Medical Supplies Kosdaq Kosdaq Pharmaceutical Kosdaq Medical and Precision Machines Source: QuantiWise, Samsung Securities Kospi sector indices: Year-to-date performances (%) 40 30 20 10 0 (10) Gas Banking Telecom Financing Securities Insurance Machinery Chemicals Electronics Distribution Non-metallic Construction Iron and Metal Iron Paper and Wood and Paper Medical Precision Medical Drug and Medicine Drug and Trans. and Storage and Trans.
