Our Strategy

Pipeline Delivery

As a pure pharma player, we must deliver our pipeline on time, at the right costs and with the expected returns. As well as progressing our existing pipeline it is important that we refill the pipeline so that we get a constant flow of novel products in future years.

Our priorities are:

  • Deliver existing pipeline projects to schedule.
  • Work effectively with regulators.
  • Continuously refill the pipeline by identifying and evaluating new ideas.

Portfolio Focus

We are a specialist veterinary pharmaceuticals business focused on Companion Animal, Equine and Food producing Animal Products. Our portfolio is well positioned in our therapeutic focus sectors to ensure we maximise returns. We have recognised that we are underweight in FAP which represents 18% of our revenue. However, there is a clear opportunity to gain critical mass in FAP by extending our geographical reach.

Our priorities are:

  • Maximise revenue and profit from existing CAP portfolio by focusing on clearly defined therapeutic sectors.
  • Develop and grow critical mass of FAP portfolio.

Geographical Expansion

The animal health market in emerging countries is growing rapidly due to the demand for high quality protein and the increase in pet ownership. We have identified a number of markets that present both volume and profit opportunities in the medium to long term and we are considering various entry strategies. In the US, we will grow the business organically in the short term with the launch of new products, including Osphos.

Our priorities are:

  • Grow the US business and invest steadily in the infrastructure as pipeline delivers.
  • Short term: establish subsidiaries in new territories with existing critical mass.
  • Medium term: build critical mass or enter via acquisition.
  • Long term: build a presence, initially through partnerships, where barriers to entry are high.

Acquisition

While our strategy aims to deliver organic growth, acquisitions could accelerate our expansion by providing entry into new geographies, enhancing our portfolio or giving access to new technologies. We have established well-defined criteria through which potential acquisition targets can be screened.

Our priority is to target strategic acquisitions that will expand our geographical footprint and/or enhance product portfolio.
