  11. Industry Structure Source: IBIS World

  12. Per capita disposable income • Per capita disposable income determines an individual's ability to purchase goods or services • Positive job growth and lower savings will lead to an annual growth rate of 1.6% over the outlook period, but the growth will be hindered by higher tax rates needed to balance the fiscal deficit. Source: IBISWorld

  13. Numberof adults over 65 years old • Older people are more likely to require medical attention or assistance • Baby boomers have started reaching the age of 65, resulting in growth of over 3% a year • The expansion of this group will be aided by further medical innovations, superior nutrition and improved safety Source: US Census Bureau

  14. Number of people with private health insurance • The number of people with private health insurance has declined during the five years to 2011, in response to the poor economic environment. • The number of people with private health insurance is forecast to increase considerably during the five years to 2016, particularly in 2014, when a health insurance exchange will be initiated. • Ultimately, 32 million previously uninsured individuals are forecast to gain coverage by 2019. Source:US Census Bureau

  15. Federal funding for Medicare and Medicaid • Medicaid is geared towards people with low incomes and Medicare covers almost everyone 65 or older • The Congressional Budget Office projects that Federal funding for Medicare and Medicaid will rise at 6.70% per year to surpass a trillion dollars by 2016. This growth • Funding for Medicare rises at a high but largely stable rate. This is because changes are driven by demographic shifts which occur predictably and slowly over time. Meanwhile, Medicaid expenditures fluctuate in accordance with the business cycle making it more volatile. Source: Office of Management and Budget

  16. Generic drugs VS brand name drugs • When the patent of a brand name medication expires, a generic version of the drug can be produced and sold. • Generic drugs are as safe and effective as the brand name equivalent, with exactly the same ingredients, but are much cheaper • In general, generic drugs generate lower total sales dollars per prescription, but higher gross profit margins , compared with patent-protected brand name drugs. • Generic drugs are more profitable for wholesalers because of the enhanced bargaining position with generic manufacturers

  19. Biggest drugstore chain VS Top three PBMs • Walgreens failed to agree on new contract terms with Express Script, one of the three largest Pharmacy Benefit Managers(PBM) • The break-up with Express Script will cost Walgreens about $5 billion in annual sales, or about seven percent of its business.

  20. Pharmacy Benefit Manager(PBM) • Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) is a third party administrator of prescription drug programs, primarily responsible for processing and paying prescription drug claims.  • PBMs like Express Scripts and Medco are patients' first point of contact with the pharmaceutical supply chain. These PBMs are using their massive scale to wield stronger bargaining power over retailers, and are encouraging consumers to switch to their own low-cost mail-order facilities instead of retail drugstores • As a result, retail drugstores like Walgreens are facing unprecedented reimbursement and competitive pressure.

  21. Consolidation in the healthcare industry • Many organizations in the healthcare industry, including pharmacy benefit managers, have consolidated in recent years to create larger healthcare enterprises with greater market power, which has resulted in greater pricing pressures to WAG • Two of the three largest pharmacy benefit managers, Medco Health Solutions, Inc. and Express Scripts, Inc., announced an agreement to merge in July 2011, completion of which is subject to regulatory and other conditions. • If this consolidation trend continues, it may lead to further pressure on the prices for our products and services and adversely affect our business.
