Valeants thoughts on industry innovation
Innovation is critical for the future of healthcare and the success of
Valeant
Majority of innovation coming from outside the big industry players
Big Pharma, primarily sourcing innovation by buying later-stage
products driven by biotechs, venture capital, start-ups,
foundations, physicians, and academic centers
Leading products largely developed outside of Big Pharma
Valeants strength in R&D/innovation focused on:
Core areas of dermatology, ophthalmology, and branded
generics
Focused on line extensions and reformulations, where returns
are more certain, and where Valeant has expertise

Rebuilding the R&D engine in Big Pharma, 2008
The number of new drugs approved per billion US

years since 1950, falling around 80-fold in inflation-
adjusted terms.

The pharmaceutical industry is in a period of crisis

its imminent demise
How to improve R&D productivity: the pharmaceutical industrys
grand challenge, March 2010
Although investment in pharmaceutical research and
development (R&D) has increased substantially in this
time, the lack of a corresponding increase in the
output in terms of new drugs being approved indicates
that therapeutic innovation has become more
challenging.

A
similar debate has occurred in the technology sector along with many other
industries Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you
have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100
times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you
have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
Steve Jobs, Forbes 1998
Indeed, the correlation between R&D spending and innovation isn't
clear. In terms of proportional research spending, Apple ranked last
on our list of top R&D spenders, with a 3.2% research and
development outlay ($844 million altogether). Yet nobody would
accuse Apple-creator of the iPod and iPhone-of not being
innovative, or of not being able to transform its successes into
bottom-line results. Apple's profit has grown an average of 62% over
its last two fiscal years.
