BMI View: While the increased consumption of generic medicines will have an impact on the overall
pharmaceutical industry projection for Germany, we note that government measures such as the three-year
freeze on price rises for prescription drugs, as well as the implementation of mandatory discounts of up to
16% on patented drugs, will weigh more heavily on overall pharmaceutical industry growth.

Headline Expenditure Projections
- Pharmaceuticals: Euros 39.68bn (US Dollar 55.15bn) in 2011 to Euros 38.68bn (US Dollar 49.90bn) in 2012;
-2.5% decline in local currency terms and -9.5% in US dollar terms.
- Healthcare: Euros 272.67bn (US Dollar 379.01bn) in 2011 to Euros 279.03bn (US Dollar 359.95bn) in 2012;
+2.3% growth in local currency terms and -5.0% in US dollar terms.
- Medical devices: Euros 14.97bn (US Dollar 20.81bn) in 2011 to Euros 15.63bn (US Dollar 20.16bn) in 2012;
+4.4% growth in local currency terms and a 3.1% decline in US dollar terms.
Risk/Reward Rating: In our Pharmaceutical Risk/Reward Ratings (RRRs) for Q312, Germany is ranked
third in Western Europe, behind Switzerland and the UK. Despite the tough pricing and reimbursement
conditions and the effects of patent expirations, Germany remains one of the largest global
pharmaceutical industries, which will continue to prop up its rewards score.

Key Trends And Developments
- In March 2012, pharmaceutical companies in Germany criticised the Act on the Reform of the Industry
for Medicinal Products (AMNOG). Under the AMNOG, which was introduced in 2011, companies
launching a new drug are required to provide a dossier showing it offers an improvement on
existing treatments. The Federal Joint Committee (G-BA)’s verdict comes after the evaluation of
the drug by the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Healthcare (IQWiG), which takes about
three months. Firms have said IQWiG’s methodology and estimates about drugs in various
cases have not been correct.
- Bayer released it Q112 results in April 2012. The firm ’s revenues were at the centre of its
guidance for the full year at Euros 36.5bn (US Dollar 47.3bn), and its net income increased by 90% to
EUR2.47bn (US Dollar 3.2bn) on the full-year result for 2010. However, earnings before interest and
taxes, excluding special items for the group, only increased by 12.9% as the industry player had
incurred several large one-off expenses in 2010. In Q411, earnings were diminished by special
charges of Euros 215mn (US Dollar 278.6mn), mainly from restructuring, compared to net special
charges of Euros 954mn (US Dollar 1.24bn) in Q410.
BMI Economic View: The likelihood of a technical recession for Germany has receded considerably and
we see encouraging signs that improved business confidence and expectations could help to push growth
higher in H212. Nevertheless, we continue to err on the side of caution as sentiment remains highly
susceptible to renewed concerns relating to the eurozone debt crisis. We note that fiscal austerity in
Europe and softer demand in emerging industry s will keep economic growth subdued. We therefore remain
below the consensus, projecting real Gross Domestic Product growth of 0.4% in 2012.
BMI Political View: The formation of a majority government by the Social Democrats and the Greens in
Germany’s most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia will embolden the opposition nationally and
puts Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Christian Democratic Union on the defensive. That said, although
we see scope for a considerable shake-up in policy and personnel at party headquarters in Berlin, we do
not view this election as a major threat to the chancellor’s chances in next year’s general election. With
the junior coalition partner, the Free Democratic Party, continuing to trail in polls and being ejected from
yet another state parliament, a grand coalition under Merkel’s leadership is emerging as the most likely
outcome after the general election in September 2013.
