Sifting Through the Pharmaceutical Channel
The long-term prospects of the drug distribution industry should equate to 11-14% growth projected in U.S.
drug spending as the entire pharma channel benefits from an aging population and increasing drug utilization
by the elderly, especially with the advent of the new Medicare prescription drug benefit. Likewise, the
specialty distributors are poised to expand their product portfolios with the growth of the biotech drug
pipeline, which, in our view, represents the future of drug development.
Despite this bullish outlook, some short-term risks are a bit higher than normal. From a macro perspective,
the increasingly more audible uproar from politicians and consumers over the escalating cost of prescription
drugs has prompted some manufacturers to scale back their historically aggressive approach to price
increases, which represent a significant source of profit margin for the wholesale distributors. Likewise, the
growing support for the re-importation of drugs from Canada could eventually lead to an opening of the
border and, in turn, market share losses. On a more industry-specific level, the wholesale distributors are
currently facing margin pressures as the manufacturers overhaul the method by which they compensate the
distributors for their services, while some of the specialty distributors are suffering from the market
maturation of some of their key products coupled with a lull in new product launches. Investors are also
concerned about the industry pricing backdrop.
Given this uncertain backdrop, we remain somewhat cautious with respect to the prospects for the
distributors over the next year. However, we are favorable towards Cardinal Health (CAH/$71.56/
Outperform), a wholesale distributor whose exposure to the ongoing changes in that industry is somewhat
offset by the diversity provided by its three other business units that, together, account for 60% of operating
income, and Accredo Health (ACDO/$38.04/Strong Buy), a specialty distributor with a solid near-term growth
outlook that is strengthened over the longer term by the addition of six new products over the course of 2003.
Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are uniquely positioned to take advantage of rising drug spend and
increasing healthcare costs. Through formulary management, therapeutic interchange, network
development and cost sharing techniques, PBMs help employers and managed care organizations strike a
balance between plan access, cost and quality. The PBMs’ position within the pharmaceutical channel
continues to strengthen relative to retail drug stores. Mail order growth is outpacing the increase of scripts
dispensed through the retail channel, as home delivery represents a more cost-effective means of delivering
chronic medications. A burgeoning biotech pipeline offers the pharmacy benefit managers another
opportunity to provide cost effective access to a more complex class of specialty drugs while further
leveraging their mail order operations.
Our top pick in the group is Caremark (CMX/$33.49/Strong Buy). The company’s industry-leading portfolio
of services bodes well for future growth. Management recently completed the acquisition of AdvancePCS,
which offers cross-selling opportunities in mail and specialty distribution and the potential to better manage
AdvancePCS’ receivables. The transaction better positions Caremark in light of the recently passed
Medicare legislation as it expands relationships with managed care organizations, which will likely be the
primary contractors with the government when the funded drug benefit arrives in 2006.
