Latest Report
Notes
‣
- Copaxone declines — sub 10% sales and continuing to decline (less impact over time)
- Austedo / Ajovy growth — these should replace Copaxone and then-some; next blockbuster specialty drugs
- Generics — how are generics performing? hopeful for slow revenue growth over 2021-2025 period from major patent expirys
- Debt — 4.3x leverage at 3Q21, should see this drop to 3x or less by 2023
‣
- Generics (global) are 57% of sales and NA is 24% of sales alone
- There is one specialy drug off-patent with declining sales (Copaxone) and 2 new specialty drugs in growth mode (Austedo and Ajovy).
- Copaxone was $1.3bn FY20 sales and fell 25% to $1bn in FY21 (as expected) — headwinds should get smaller as it becomes smaller portion of total sales
- Ajovy/Austedo — grew 36% to $1.1bn in FY21
- NA generics were a problem in FY21 — sales down 6% and this makes up ~24% of total revenue
‣
- 25% growth in Ajovy/Austedo specialty drugs (9% of FY22 sales) + 15% decline in Copaxone (5.4% of FY22 sales)
- Flattish EPS — $2.40-2.60 vs. $2.58 in FY21
- Flat-to-down FCF and EBITDA
