MARKET UPDATE| HEALTHCARE MARKET UPDATE HEALTHCARE September 2019 1 MARKET UPDATE| HEALTHCARE HIGHLIGHTS Dear Reader, As we enter the last quarter of the year, fresh data on venture cash +6.5% confirm that 2019 should see a steady amount raised compared to the 5Y-CAGR past four years, but with a falling number of rounds. With $10.2bn raised Worldwide prescription as at the end of September 2019, annual biopharma venture investments will not reach the $17.3bn they achieved in 2018 but will not be far off drugs-expected sales the 2015-2017 average of $10.9bn. Importantly, new VC funding continued to concentrate. The >500 rounds in 2015 had fallen to 278 by the end of September 2019, while the average funding per round grew from $22m to $38m over the same period. Of note is the fact that VC investors do not seem to be neglecting early-stage assets. However they continue to favour some therapeutic areas, with oncology, which +5.3% accounted for 6 companies in the top 10 VC rounds in 3Q19, still 5Y-CAGR dominating the field. Medtech Private placement activities remained dynamic last month, dominated by market-expected growth UK-based companies in the hotspots of surgical robotics (€220m for CMR Surgical), cancer immunotherapies (€110m for Achilles Therapeutics) or AI-driven drug discovery (€82m for BenevolentAI). We continue to see private placements as a preferred route for the funding of European biopharma companies in the current context of light ECM activity, which saw no IPOs in September and subdued follow-on volumes. Less +1.8% / -8.1% surprisingly for the time of year, M&A has remained light, with only three EU Pharma & Biotech transactions above €100m last month in European healthcare: Sofina’s performance over the €500m bid for Nuxe, Blue Sail Medical’s €145m takeover of New Valve and Sagard’s €100m acquisition of Sterimed. last month From an industry standpoint, the ECTRIMS and ESMO congresses were the two most- watched events in September. At ESMO, the battle between GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca/Merck & Co’s PARP inhibitors dominated the agenda, with GSK making another promising move back into oncology while AZ and Merck show a strong presence in the field. In 20 / $4.9bn biotech, we highlight the strong performance of Seattle Genetics and its Number & total value of Enfortumab combo data in urothelial cancer, and Hong-Kong-based Hutchison Chi-Med with Surufatinib for neuroendocrine tumours. These US ECM deals priced in performances offset failures mostly from US players such as G1 September Therapeutics, Calithera and Aravive, while European biotechs were holding up, including Swiss-based Basilea with further differentiated derazantinib data, and Finnish Faron with clevegen in colorectal cancer. In terms of upcoming sector news flow, we flag the numerous investor updates to be held by year-end, which we believe will further contribute 250 to already a rich year. Sanofi’s investor day on 10 December in Boston will The number of marketed eventually be the main event, with incoming CEO Paul Hudson expected to share his roadmap and R&D head John Reed outlining his plans to US drugs whose price revive R&D. Other major R&D updates include Galapagos (14 November), could be renegotiated Novo Nordisk (5 December), Morphosys (8 December) and Genmab (9 each year under Pelosi’s December). healthcare plan HERVE
