1 Mergers and Acquisitions in the Biotechnology Industry For venture-backed biotech companies, the approval of a new drug is a long-term prospect that requires extensive time and effort for research, development, pre-clinical and clinical trials, and, in the United States, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. For many biotech companies, the funding required to finance development, testing and approval activities requires ongoing investment. Larger pharmaceutical companies often provide this funding; it s a partnership that works well, as these companies drive growth through the distribution and sale of new and innovative drugs that are protected by patents. Securing rights to new drugs, whether they are being developed in-house or through partnerships with biotech firms, is therefore an essential strategy for keeping the product pipeline full. Given that a large number of well-known patents are set to begin expiring in the next few years the so-called Patent Cliff there is an intensifying drive for building new product pipelines. This is fueling a number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of biotech companies by large, multinational pharmaceutical companies. According to global financial services firm Burrill & Company, M&A has been the preferred exit strategy for privately-held [biotech] companies as the market for initial public offerings in recent years was at first effectively shut down by the global recession and continues to be muted. 1 With the likelihood that this M&A trend will continue, how do companies on both sides ensure a successful transaction? According to a recent Harvard Business Review study, 70 to 90 percent of all integration efforts fail to deliver expected value. 2 Some common reasons that postintegration results do not meet expectations include incompatible organizational cultures, insufficient due diligence, and lack of integration of business processes and systems. Often, these issues can be addressed by ensuring a focused effort is brought to the integration process. Our point of view is that successful M&A integration efforts require a robust Program Management Office (PMO) a critical vehicle through which the integration effort is managed. A PMO s management responsibility in the M&A process can be categorized into three main focus areas: due diligence, integration planning and integration execution. 1 G. Steven Burrill, CEO of Burrill & Company, a diversified global financial services firm focused on the life sciences industry and author of Biotech 2012: Innovating in the New Austerity. 2 Clayton M. Christensen, Richard Alton, Curtis Rising and Andrew Waldeck, The Big Idea: The New M&A Playbook, Harvard Business Review, March 2011.

2 Due Diligence Successful integrations start with a robust and detailed due diligence plan and assessment. When developing the due diligence plan, the PMO can lead the effort in: Reviewing all relevant background material of both the acquiring and target enterprises Understanding business rationale and drivers Understanding the likely business integration model Understanding the scope, scale and nature of expected contributions to synergies and/or redundancies Defining the scope and priority focus areas for the due diligence effort Developing the due diligence approach and the action plan; the action plan is then executed by performing assessments across the main functional areas For life sciences industry due diligence, specific attention will be focused on research and development activities, pre-clinical and clinical trial details, current and pending patents, current licensing and distribution, and other contract arrangements. During this phase, assessment teams conduct interviews and analyze data across the key functional areas, which typically include finance and accounting, information technology (IT), operations, and legal and regulatory, among others. The output is a set of recommendations for high-, medium- and lowpriority areas based on cost-saving opportunities, integration needs and risks, a targeted operating model, and anticipated operating synergies. Integration Planning Integration planning activities take place between the transaction signing date and Day 1 for the combined entity. During this time, the PMO is responsible for managing activities across four key areas (as outlined in the table below): Develop Initial Integration Scope/Plan Analysis and Direction-Setting Define Future Services Finalize the Integration Plan The following table shows some of the main activities and outputs across each of those key areas. Protiviti 2

3 Develop Initial Integration Scope/Plan Analysis and Direction-Setting Define Future Services Finalize the Integration Plan Review scope, scale and nature of expected contribution to synergies Define financial planning assumptions Develop the IT integration planning approach Draft any needed Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) Produce the initial phase plan Conduct process workshops to define/review: Business priorities and timing requirements Future business process models IT support requirements for current and future business processes Systems options selection criteria, reflecting business and IT aspects Determine overall IT implications of future integration direction Negotiate/finalize TSAs Proceed across all assessment areas to: Assess the impact of future business needs for functions and areas to be acquired Update IT services to reflect changes in business needs Define future services, ensuring scalability Prioritize integration tasks Define transition roadmaps for Day 1, First 100 Days and Beyond 100 Days plans Determine organizational and training impacts Review risks and plan mitigation strategies Develop contingency plan Refine Day 1, First 100 Days and Beyond 100 Days plans Confirm communications messages Confirm baseline, estimated transition costs and model for gathering actual cost savings Key Deliverables: Key Deliverables: Key Deliverable: Key Deliverable: Preliminary integration plan, constraints and assumptions Draft TSAs Draft business process models Validated service and support requirements IT options selection criteria Integration plans for each of the assessment areas Consolidated transition plans; Day 1, First 100 Days and Beyond 100 Days Integration Execution On Day 1 for the combined entity, the PMO s efforts shift to ensuring a successful integration effort is achieved. Much effort will have gone into ensuring a smooth cutover on Day 1. It is just as important that the first 100 days of activity and then, the period beyond the first 100 days are properly managed and executed. The following table shows some of the primary activities the PMO will undertake in each of those time periods. Protiviti 3

4 Day 1 Preparation First 100 Days Beyond 100 Days Establish secure environment and connectivity between organizations Integrate customer-facing applications Provide consistent customerfacing environment Establish interim architectures Implement new service model, processes and tools Transition aspects of IT service delivery to external IT service providers, as appropriate Perform ongoing standardization, rationalization and optimization efforts to include: Financials Governance Institute basic, common, back-office processes and integrate data Establish new IT organizational structure and governance model Perform further contract renegotiation and consolidation Conduct training Establish service level agreements and service management environment Refine roles and responsibilities Define governance mechanisms Infrastructure Applications and data IT processes Optimize internal processes to include: Governance Financials Management IT Transition to continuous improvement efforts It is critical to understand and develop a plan for addressing the primary factors that will help to ensure a successful post-integration outcome: Know what the organization is getting into Detailed due diligence and proper integration planning are core to identifying potential issues. Get the right people involved Determine essential stakeholders early and get them involved. By doing so, retention and change issues will be minimized. Know what the organization wants out of the deal Determine objective business decision criteria to minimize political issues and the impact of personal preferences. Get it done right Devote the necessary resources even if the company is running lean. Transaction execution and integration are together a full-time job. Know what success means Establish a performance measurement process to measure the success of integration activities. Don t underestimate the infrastructure The IT function must be an integral part of both the due diligence and integration planning efforts. IT is a critical enabler of other integration efforts. Over-communicate Personnel will be forgiving at first and will not expect all the answers. They will, however, expect strong leadership that has a vision and a plan for how to get there. Protiviti 4
