Company Overview

Patheon is a leading global provider of outsourced pharmaceutical development and manufacturing services. They provide a comprehensive, integrated and highly customizable range of active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, and finished drug product services to their customers, from formulation development to clinical and commercial-scale manufacturing, packaging, and life cycle management. Their services address both small molecule and large molecule biological drugs. They believe they are the only end-to-end integrated provider of such services, which, combined with their scientific and regulatory expertise and specialized capabilities, allows their customers to partner with a single outsourced provider to address their most complex development and manufacturing needs. They believe they have the broadest technological capabilities in their industry, across the full spectrum of development and manufacturing, to support their end-to-end integrated platform.

They believe they are a critical partner for their customers who increasingly rely on their customized formulation, development and manufacturing expertise to address growing drug complexity, cost pressures and regulatory scrutiny. They partner with many of their customers early in the drug development process, providing them the opportunity to continue to expand their relationship as molecules progress through the clinical phase and into commercial manufacturing. This results in long-term relationships with their customers and a recurring revenue stream. They believe their breadth of services, reliability and scale address their customers’ increasing need to outsource and desire to reduce the number of supply chain partners while maintaining a high quality of service.

Through their end-to-end integrated service offering, known as “Patheon OneSource™,” they provide their customers with comprehensive solutions for both small molecule and large molecule biological pharmaceuticals across their three main segments, including development and manufacturing services for API (Drug Substance Services, or DSS), formulation development and pre-clinical and clinical drug product manufacturing (Pharmaceutical Development Services, or PDS), and commercial drug product manufacturing and packaging (Drug Product Services, or DPS).

 

 

Their end-to-end integrated service offering allows them to provide a comprehensive suite of capabilities across different drug formulations to address their customers’ needs. Their specialized capabilities address 75% of all pharmaceutical dosage forms, with expertise and specialized capacity in high potency, controlled substances, low-solubility, sterile, modified release and softgel technologies.

·         DPS: They believe they are the clear drug manufacturing partner of choice for the pharmaceutical industry. Over the last decade, they have developed and manufactured 92 newly approved drugs, including 17 in 2015, which is more than twice the number of any other contract development and manufacturing organization, or CDMO, and represents more than 20% of the total outsourced NDA approvals during those periods. They produce 23 billion solid doses and 146 million sterile doses annually, many of which address central nervous system, oncological and other life-threatening conditions. They believe they are among the largest providers of aseptic “fill-finish” services for finished dose biological drug products. In addition, based on market research, they are involved in more than 25% of the top 100 selling drugs in fiscal 2015.

·         PDS: They are the number one global provider of formulation development services. Their capabilities span the full breadth of advanced scientific services from discovery to regulatory approval, including formulation development across approximately 40 dosage forms, as well as analytical services, and life cycle management.

·         DSS: They are a leading provider of complex small molecule API and flexible outsourced manufacturing solutions for large molecule biological API from early development through commercial scale production. They believe they are one of the top three outsourced manufacturers of highly complex biological drug substances through their four biological API facilities. They estimate that their biologics sites serve 70% of the market.

They serve a highly diverse, blue chip customer base comprised of more than 400 clients in over 70 countries, including all of the top 20 largest pharmaceutical companies, 18 of the 20 largest biotechnology companies and 15 of the 20 largest specialty pharmaceutical companies. They provide development and manufacturing services for approximately 700 products and molecules.

They employ approximately 8,800 people, including more than 600 scientists and technicians, at more than 25 locations in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan and China. For the year ended October 31, 2015, their reported revenues were $1.8 billion.

In July 2015, they entered into an agreement to sell their DPx Fine Chemicals business, or DFC, which provides synthesis services to customers in the agricultural chemical industry, maleic anhydride and many specialty esters used in a broad range of industries and specialty products. The DFC business, which is located at their Linz, Austria site and previously constituted their DFC reportable segment, accounted for 9.8% of their total revenues in fiscal 2014 and is now a component of their discontinued operations. The sale closed on August 31, 2015.

Market Opportunity

The global pharmaceutical industry is a large and growing market. They serve all key sectors of the industry across both small molecule and large molecule biological drugs, through solid dose forms, sterile products and other complex products such as controlled substances. Revenue for the pharmaceutical industry was $744 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow to $1 trillion in 2020, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 6.0%. Research & developmental spend for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is expected to reach $160 billion in 2020. This growth is driven by global, secular trends, including increasing demand for pharmaceuticals because of expanded insurance coverage in key markets, an aging population and increased life expectancy rates, a growing middle class in emerging markets and growth in specialty pharmaceuticals. To illustrate this, the global population is projected to exceed 8.1 billion by 2025, with the population aged 60 and over projected to exceed 1.0 billion by such time. They believe these factors will continue to drive unit growth and complexity, benefiting CDMOs such as Patheon.

The outsourcing of API and drug product development and manufacturing by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries is an important driver of growth in their business. In 2015, the pharmaceutical industry spent approximately $141 billion on formulation, development and manufacturing, according to Evaluate Pharma, and they expect approximately $40 billion will be outsourced to CDMOs such as Patheon in 2016, according to Root Analysis. Currently, only 26% to 31% of pharmaceutical industry spending on formulation, development and manufacturing is outsourced, and in the future it is expected that their customer base will increase the use of outsourcing to CDMOs because of changing industry dynamics, driving growth in their market. Industry sources indicate that the CDMO industry’s annual growth rate is expected to be higher than the growth rate in the overall pharmaceutical industry, with overall CDMO growth in the mid to high single digits, and higher for finished dosage formulation services, specialized technologies such as solubility solutions, and pharmaceuticals requiring sterile production such as biological drugs, capabilities in which Patheon has extensive experience.

The key industry dynamics underlying CDMO industry growth include:

  • Their customers are facing growing pricing and competitive pressures, forcing them to reduce fixed costs, reduce time to market for their new drugs, simplify historically complex supply chains and streamline vendor management, while ensuring reliability and quality.
  • Complex formulation challenges presented by many new products require expertise that is costly or impractical for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to build and operate in-house. For example, more than 60% of all new compounds entering development will need specialized manufacturing and/or molecular profile modification according to industry research in the American Pharmaceutical Review.
  • The number of drugs developed by emerging and mid-size companies is growing and currently represents an estimated 80% of the drug pipeline. In 2015, approximately $48 billion of capital was raised to fund the development of drug pipelines of emerging biotechnology companies. For many of these companies, outsourcing to CDMOs such as Patheon is a critical component of their business model because they lack in-house formulation capabilities as well as the experience and infrastructure to manufacture the products themselves.
  • The global pharmaceutical industry faces increasing regulatory complexity and compliance requirements, including oversight by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and its counterparts globally. They believe this represents an opportunity for qualified and global CDMOs to expand market share as companies are looking for a partner such as Patheon with a track record of excellent product quality and deep regulatory capabilities, in order to avoid the consequences of manufacturing and quality issues and regulator-ordered shutdowns, such as drug shortages and lost revenue and earnings.

They serve the entire spectrum of customers, including large, mid-size and specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, emerging biotechnology companies, and generic pharmaceutical companies, as well as customers in other related areas, such as consumer or over-the-counter nutritional and animal health companies, each with a distinct outsourcing dynamic:

  • Large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are actively reducing their fixed asset base and focusing on their core activities of research and development, or R&D, and sales and marketing. These companies are increasingly recognizing that formulation development and manufacturing are non-core activities for their businesses. As a result, they are outsourcing instead of investing substantial capital in building specialized capabilities in-house to address their increasingly complex pipelines.
  • Mid-size or specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are increasingly focused on sales, marketing, and late stage clinical development, as opposed to establishing internal formulation capabilities and manufacturing capacity, and as a result are outsourcing significant portions of this value chain.
  • Emerging pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are being driven by venture and other investors to adopt virtual business models in which the company identifies a promising drug candidate and then relies heavily on outsourcing all activities, including formulation development and manufacturing. Many of these drug candidates are ultimately licensed or sold to larger companies for late stage clinical development and commercialization. They believe companies such as Patheon are well-positioned to retain a molecule even if it is licensed or sold, due to the significant cost and time involved in switching service providers.
  • Generic pharmaceutical companies increasingly seek to outsource development and manufacturing of complex products they cannot produce with their existing infrastructure to third parties that have such specialized capabilities given the importance of speed-to-market for these companies (for example, the 180-day marketing exclusivity period for generic companies that are “first-to-file” under a patent challenge)

Relative to the outsourcing rate for the contract research organization, or CRO, industry, the CDMO industry is underpenetrated in most of its sub-segments, creating significant growth opportunities for a CDMO with an end-to-end integrated offering such as Patheon due to a growing propensity by biopharmaceutical companies to outsource. They believe their sector will follow a similar trajectory to the CRO industry.

In addition, the CDMO industry is highly fragmented, with more than 600 companies worldwide, many of which specialize in a single capability or are too small to achieve economies of scale and benefit from customer or product diversification. As a result of growing customer demand for scale providers with a broader range of services throughout the drug life cycle, they believe there will be opportunities for a company such as Patheon to lead the consolidation of the industry through strategic acquisitions and to take market share from sub-scale competitors.

Target Markets

Leverage their end-to-end platform and global scale to extend their position as the leading integrated CDMO. The highly customizable services they provide throughout the product life cycle afford them significant opportunities to respond to growing customer demand for supply chain simplicity, development and manufacturing speed, and quality. Their PDS capabilities allow them to partner with their customers early in the development process of their molecules, providing a pipeline of molecules for their commercial manufacturing services as the molecules progress through the clinical phase and into commercial manufacture. In fiscal 2015, they had PDS projects for 562 drugs in clinical development, including 225 Phase 1 projects, 106 Phase 2 projects and 231 Phase 3 projects. During their evolution over the past five years, they have aligned their sales, marketing and management functions, on all organizational levels, to cross-sell the breadth of their capabilities and market the “Patheon OneSource” service offering. They believe this strategy will continue to drive business across all customer segments, and represents a high-dollar value, high-margin growth opportunity.

Continue their operational excellence initiatives to optimize capacity and efficiency, reduce costs and drive outstanding financial performance. Their organization-wide OE Program efforts focus on improving manufacturing efficiency and quality, driving cost savings, increasing capacity and creating value throughout the manufacturing chain and has saved them over $259 million since 2012. They intend to continue maximizing revenue growth and margin expansion through their resulting expanded capacity and facility utilization. For example, they have increased capacity by 21% since 2011, and their current utilization of 49% allows them to continue to launch new projects without significant investment in new facilities. They believe that this continuous focus on OE will drive margin improvements and support robust revenue growth on an annual basis, which should result in significant operating leverage.

Target high-growth, high-value areas of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Their customers increasingly seek complex drug formulations and delivery technologies that exceed their own in-house capabilities. They intend to use their broad range of specialized dosage and formulation solutions, which include high potency, softgel, controlled substance, modified release and sterile dosage forms, to serve this market segment. For example, their acquisition of Gallus BioPharmaceuticals provided them with capabilities for complex clinical and commercial scale biologics manufacturing in the key U.S. market. They believe their expertise in these areas and the breadth of services they provide are differentiators for Patheon.

Selectively pursue strategic investments and acquisitions to support expanding customer needs and complement their existing platform. As a customer-driven company, they have invested in new specialized technologies, expanded capacity in high-demand capabilities, and broadened their capabilities in high value-added product and service offerings in response to market demand. For example, in response to growing demand for pre-filled syringes to deliver biological molecules, they completed construction of a new production line in a European sterile facility in late 2013. In addition, they have acquired five companies since 2012, including three acquisitions between September 2014 and March 2015, each of which provided new or expanded capabilities and scale for their end-to-end integrated offering. They plan to continue adding complementary, high-value technological and operational capabilities and service offerings to meet customer needs through investment, acquisitions and collaborations. They expect Patheon will continue to be an active, disciplined consolidator of the fragmented CDMO industry to complement their organic growth strategy.

 

Company's Unique Strengths

Sector-leading performance driven by continuous operational excellence improvement. Over the last five years they have implemented a major initiative to drive operational efficiencies across their global network of facilities and rapidly and effectively integrate acquisitions. Their OE Program, which is deeply embedded in their operations and culture, is aimed at aligning their operations and incentives around the key customer metrics of RFT and OTD. As a result, their on-time performance for delivering customer projects increased from 86% in 2011 to 95% in 2015, to which they believe their customers ascribe significant value. In addition, through efficiency gains they have increased capacity by 21% over this period without significant capital investments and generated substantial cost savings from improvements to both existing operations and acquired businesses. They believe these continuous efforts will continue to unlock capacity, reduce costs and help drive margin improvements annually.

End-to-end integrated capabilities. They provide a comprehensive, integrated and highly customizable range of API and finished drug product services to customers, from formulation development to clinical and commercial-scale manufacturing, packaging, and life cycle management. Their services address both small molecule and large molecule biological drugs. They believe they are further differentiated by the wide range of formulation and manufacturing services they provide to their customers, which encompass 75% of all pharmaceutical dosage forms, and by providing specialized capabilities that their customers are increasingly seeking such as high potency, controlled substance, low-solubility, aseptic manufacturing, modified release and softgel formulations. Their breadth of technologies spanning development and manufacturing further support their end-to-end integrated platform, increasing product development speed and reducing costs for their customers by avoiding the time, regulatory burden and cost required to transfer a molecule to other service providers.

Extensive and long-term relationships with their customers from development through commercial manufacturing driving a recurring, highly-visible revenue stream. Their end-to-end integrated platform allows them to capture customer molecules early in the development process and retain them through full-scale commercial manufacturing, while efficiently and reliably maintaining quality in a complex supply chain. Once won, this business is highly stable due to regulatory requirements, lengthy and costly product transfer processes, and customers’ need to ensure uninterrupted supply. For example, in 2015 37% of their commercial manufacturing new product launches originated from their formulation and development projects. Their drug product commercial manufacturing contracts generally extend five or more years and at least 90% of the products they currently manufacture are under contract through 2016 and approximately 65% are under contract through 2018. Based on current signed contracts across all segments, more than 90% of revenue for 2016 is associated with ongoing programs that have already been initiated.

Industry-leading reputation for quality and reliability across their global network. They are an industry leader in product quality and regulatory compliance. They have a culture of continuous improvement in quality, with internal standards and targets that exceed regulatory rules and customers’ internal standards. As a result, they believe they have one of the best track records in the industry for both pharmaceutical companies and outsourced service providers. Increased regulatory scrutiny has resulted in industry supply disruptions or facility shutdowns, contributing to the recent record levels of drug shortages, including for numerous life-saving drugs. As regulatory requirements have increased, many pharmaceutical companies have migrated to CDMO providers with a demonstrated ability to consistently meet quality and compliance standards. They complement their industry-leading quality systems with a global network, which allows them to validate their customers’ products across multiple manufacturing lines within a facility and across multiple facilities within their network to ensure supply security. In addition, their focus on RFT and OTD metrics underpins their position as an industry leader for customer service.

Company's Unique Risks

Their services and offerings are highly complex, and if they are unable to provide quality and timely offerings to their customers, their business could suffer.

Their pharmaceutical development services projects are typically for a shorter term than their pharmaceutical manufacturing projects, and any failure by them to maintain a high volume of pharmaceutical development services projects, including due to lower than expected success rates of the products for which they provide services, could have a material adverse effect on their business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because a significant portion of their revenues comes from a limited number of customers, any decrease in sales to these customers could have a material adverse effect on their business, results of operations and financial condition. For the six months ended April 30, 2016, their top 10 customers and products accounted for 38% and 18%, respectively, of their revenues. While no customer accounted for more than 7% of their revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2016, they have customer concentration that increases credit risk and other risks associated with particular customers and particular products.

They may not be able to successfully offer new services. In order to successfully compete, they will need to offer and develop new services. Without the timely introduction of enhanced or new services, their services and capabilities may become obsolete over time, in which case, their revenues and operating results would suffer.

Technological change may cause their offerings to become obsolete over time. A decrease in their customers’ purchases of their offerings could have a material adverse effect on their business, results of operations and financial condition.

Certain of their pension plans are underfunded, and additional cash contributions may be required, which may reduce the cash available for their business. Certain of their employees in Canada, France and the United Kingdom are participants in defined benefit pension plans that they sponsor. In addition, employees at their facility in The Netherlands are covered by a defined benefit pension plan and certain employees of DPP in Germany, the United States and Austria are covered by defined benefit pension plans. As of October 31, 2015, the net unfunded pension liability on their pension plans was approximately $58.6 million in the aggregate.

Their substantial indebtedness could adversely affect their ability to raise additional capital to fund their operations, limit their ability to react to changes in the economy or in their industry, expose them to interest rate risk to the extent of their variable rate debt and prevent them from meeting their obligations under their indebtedness. Following this offering, they will continue to have a significant amount of debt. As of April 30, 2016, on a pro forma as adjusted basis giving effect to this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, they would have had approximately $2.2 billion of indebtedness. In addition, they would have had approximately $187.7 million of availability under their $200.0 million revolving credit facility.

They are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, which could subject them to liabilities, increase their costs or restrict their operations in the future.

Upon the listing of their ordinary shares on the NYSE, they will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and, as a result, will qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. JLL and DSM have entered into a shareholders’ agreement with them, which will become effective upon completion of this offering, pursuant to which each of JLL and DSM will be entitled to nominate a certain number of designees for election to their board of directors and have agreed to vote in favor of each other’s nominees. Upon the listing of their ordinary shares on the NYSE, they will be a “controlled company” under the rules of the NYSE.

Bottom Line

Their revenues were $697.6 million, $748.0 million, $990.6 million, $1.48 billion and $1.77 billion and their net income (loss) was ($16.7 million), ($107.0 million), ($36.1 million), ($119.2 million) and $138.4 million in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. In the first half of 2016, their revenues increased 1.2% to $874.5 million and their net income fell from a $12.6 million gain to a $21.2 million loss.

They provide a comprehensive, integrated and highly customizable range of active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, and finished drug product services to their customers, from formulation development to clinical and commercial-scale manufacturing, packaging, and life cycle management. Their services address both small molecule and large molecule biological drugs. They believe they are the only end-to-end integrated provider of such services. Over the last decade, they have developed and manufactured 92 newly approved drugs, including 17 in 2015, which is more than twice the number of any other contract development and manufacturing organization. They are the number one global provider of formulation development services. They are a leading provider of complex small molecule API and flexible outsourced manufacturing solutions for large molecule biological API from early development through commercial scale production. They serve a highly diverse, blue chip customer base comprised of more than 400 clients in over 70 countries, including all of the top 20 largest pharmaceutical companies, 18 of the 20 largest biotechnology companies and 15 of the 20 largest specialty pharmaceutical companies.

Revenue for the pharmaceutical industry was $744 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow to $1 trillion in 2020, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 6.0%. Research & developmental spend for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is expected to reach $160 billion in 2020. . In 2015, the pharmaceutical industry spent approximately $141 billion on formulation, development and manufacturing, according to Evaluate Pharma, and they expect approximately $40 billion will be outsourced to CDMOs such as Patheon in 2016. Currently, only 26% to 31% of pharmaceutical industry spending on formulation, development and manufacturing is outsourced, and in the future it is expected that their customer base will increase the use of outsourcing to CDMOs because of changing industry dynamics. The CDMO industry’s annual growth rate is expected to be higher than the growth rate in the overall pharmaceutical industry, with overall CDMO growth in the mid to high single digits, and higher for finished dosage formulation services, specialized technologies such as solubility solutions, and pharmaceuticals requiring sterile production such as biological drugs, capabilities in which Patheon has extensive experience. Relative to the outsourcing rate for the contract research organization, or CRO, industry, the CDMO industry is underpenetrated in most of its sub-segments, creating significant growth opportunities for a CDMO with an end-to-end integrated offering such as Patheon due to a growing propensity by biopharmaceutical companies to outsource. In addition, the CDMO industry is highly fragmented, with more than 600 companies worldwide, many of which specialize in a single capability or are too small to achieve economies of scale and benefit from customer or product diversification.

The highly customizable services they provide throughout the product life cycle afford them significant opportunities to respond to growing customer demand for supply chain simplicity, development and manufacturing speed, and quality. Their organization-wide OE Program efforts focus on improving manufacturing efficiency and quality, driving cost savings, increasing capacity and creating value throughout the manufacturing chain and has saved them over $259 million since 2012. They believe that this continuous focus on OE will drive margin improvements and support robust revenue growth on an annual basis, which should result in significant operating leverage. Their customers increasingly seek complex drug formulations and delivery technologies that exceed their own in-house capabilities. They intend to use their broad range of specialized dosage and formulation solutions, which include high potency, softgel, controlled substance, modified release and sterile dosage forms, to serve this market segment. They expect Patheon will continue to be an active, disciplined consolidator of the fragmented CDMO industry to complement their organic growth strategy.

Over the last five years they have implemented a major initiative to drive operational efficiencies across their global network of facilities and rapidly and effectively integrate acquisitions. . In addition, through efficiency gains they have increased capacity by 21% over this period without significant capital investments and generated substantial cost savings from improvements to both existing operations and acquired businesses. They provide a comprehensive, integrated and highly customizable range of API and finished drug product services to customers, from formulation development to clinical and commercial-scale manufacturing, packaging, and life cycle management. Once won, their customer’s business is highly stable due to regulatory requirements, lengthy and costly product transfer processes, and customers’ need to ensure uninterrupted supply. They believe they have one of the best track records in the industry for both pharmaceutical companies and outsourced service providers.

Their services and offerings are highly complex, and if they are unable to provide quality and timely offerings to their customers, their business could suffer. Their pharmaceutical development services projects are typically for a shorter term than their pharmaceutical manufacturing projects, and any failure by them to maintain a high volume of pharmaceutical development services projects, including due to lower than expected success rates of the products for which they provide services, could have a material adverse effect on their business, results of operations and financial condition. Because a significant portion of their revenues comes from a limited number of customers, any decrease in sales to these customers could have a material adverse effect on their business. Without the timely introduction of enhanced or new services, their services and capabilities may become obsolete over time, in which case, their revenues and operating results would suffer. Technological change may cause their offerings to become obsolete over time. Certain of their pension plans are underfunded, and additional cash contributions may be required. They have substantial indebtedness. Giving effect to this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, they would have had approximately $2.2 billion of indebtedness. In addition, they would have had approximately $187.7 million of availability under their $200.0 million revolving credit facility. They are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Upon the listing of their ordinary shares on the NYSE, they will be a “controlled company”. Rating = 3
