  1. Capstone Presentation Prepared for Dr. Ian Lee and the Strategic Management Class of Fall 2003 Carleton University

  2. Introduction • Invitrogen is a manufacturer of biotech equipment and supplies used by academic, government and corporate researchers.

  3. Part I Macro Environment • A. Technological Environment • B. Economic Environment • C. Socio-Cultural Environment • D. Political-Legal Environment

  4. Technological Environment • Nanotechnology • Development of super small products • Technology still in its infancy • Currently 100 startups • Nanobiotechnology, most promising for the Biotech industry • Creation of drugs as well as diagnostic tools • Gene Chip • Ability to store entire human genome onto a single chip • Technology still in its infancy, 5 years old • Making personalized medicine a reality • Ability to expand the biotech industry

  5. Technological Environment • Gene Testing • Direct analysis of DNA molecules • Newborn screening, prenatal diagnostic testing, risk analysis of adult cancers • Few tests exist today, many waiting to be discovered

  6. Source: U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Technological Environment • Gene Therapy • Correct defective genes • Replacing, repairing, regulating non-functional genes • Technology still in an experimental stage • FDA has placed a temporary ban on gene therapy

  7. Technological Environment • DNA Computing • Developed in 1994, by L.M. Adleman • Information density greater then that of silicon • Allowing large mathematical calculations to be performed • DNA is nature’s hard drive • Extension of current industry • Bioterrorism • Increasing bioterrorism, using sophisticated technologies, Anthrax, Sarin gas • Provides demand for remedies

  11. Economic Environment • Beyond 2003 SOURCES: Congressional Budget Office; Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis; Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; Federal Reserve Board.

  12. Source: Ernst & Young Economic Environment • Biotechnology Industry • North America accounts for 77% of global biotech revenues

  13. Socio-Cultural Environment • Aging Demographic • North American and European Population is aging • The elderly population will require proper diagnostic tools, as well as various treatments • Increased demand for the industry • Health Care Expenditure • Increasing trend • 58% increase in spending since 1990 • Increase in spending for Prescription drugs by 17%

  14. Socio-Cultural Environment • Increasing Death Due to Illness • Increasing trend for the population over the age of 44 • Opportunity for innovation, and development of remedies

  15. Political-Legal Environment • Heavily regulated, largely to benefit the industry • North American states are attempting to lure the industry • Large number of regulating bodies around the world, • APHIS, EPA, FDA, DFO

  18. Pharmaceutical Industry

  19. Revenues (June 30, 2003)

  20. Profitability

  21. Market Capitalization (Nov.10, 2003)

  22. Five Force Analysis • Threat of Direct Competitors : 9 • Threat of Entry : 3 • Substitutes : 5 • Suppliers : 2 • Buyers : 9 • Average : 5.6 / 10

  23. Direct Competitors (9) • Many Competitors. • Technologies can be rendered obsolete!

  24. Threat of New Entrants (3) • Many competitors. • High costs: R&D, HR. • Strategic Alliances, Patents.

  25. ‘Little Threat’ Profitability

  26. Market Capitalization Market Capitalization

  27. Biotechnology Funding

  28. Threat of Substitutes (5) • Moderate. • New Technologies being developed. • Biochemical markets secure.

  29. Power of Suppliers (2) • Low. • Numerous suppliers for most inputs. • Outsourcing. • FBS.

  30. Power of Buyers (9) • High. • Biopharmas faced with high costs. • New entrants = more buyers = lower buyer power.

  31. Five Forces Summary • Moderately Unattractive Industry. • Major forces: buyers, competitors. • Profitability Measures.

  32. NAICS 325414 - Biological Product (except Diagnostic) Manufacturing

  33. NAICS 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing

  34. NAICS 541710 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences

  35. Key Success Factors • Human Resources. • Networking and alliances. • Access to capital. • National Policies. • Product Strategy.

  36. Driving Forces • Success of Biopharmaceuticals. • Government policy. • Bioterrorism defense spending. • IP

  37. Industry Summary • A moderately unattractive industry. • Profitability is negative. • Capital markets are volatile. • But…Growth is high!

  38. Firm Analysis • Listed on the Nasdaq, Invitrogen has a market capitalization of about $3 billion. • They offer an integrated technology platform to support their customers’ efforts in molecular and cell biology research, drug discovery, and commercial biomolecule production.

  39. Firm Analysis – 2002 Summary • Wide-ranging plan of new product innovation. • Emphasis on high growth, high margin products. • Revenues increased to $649 million • Pro forma EPS grew to $1.81. • Over $1 billion in cash puts Invitrogen in strong position for further investment.

  40. Employees • At the end of 2002, Invitrogen had 2744 employees, 916 of whom were employed outside the United States. • Strong competition for talented employees in the industry. • Continues success dependant on ability to attract and retain qualified employees.

  41. Value Creating Activities • Research & Development • Sales & Marketing • Technology Licensing • Patents and Proprietary Technologies • Suppliers

  42. Research & Development • Invitrogen has 213 employees principally engaged in R&D. • 5.20%, 6.06% and 9.59% were the percentage of revenues spent on R&D in 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively • 2002 was a transition year; R&D was co-located with marketing and manufacturing facilities in Carlsbad to improve speed and efficiency of product development.
