Key TakeawayWe present a deep dive on the respiratory market through to 2025, duringwhich we will see multiple new competitors, treatment modalities andincreased pressure from value brands and generics. We see near to mid termupside for GSK from new product launches, but a devastating hit from US Advairgenerics if launched by 2017. AZN's franchise is likely to be hit by increasedcompetition and generics, whilst NOVN looks only able to build a modestbranded franchise.
Taking a deep breath and a deep dive on the respiratory market: We have builta new Global Respiratory Model out to 2025, which primarily focuses on the inhaledrespiratory market for COPD and asthma. Our work includes input from the results of ourproprietary survey of 52 US based pulmonologists, physician consultations and discussionswith key market players. This market is critical to a number of companies under our coverage,with GlaxoSmithKline being particularly exposed as the market leader, with 19% of Grouprevenues in Advair/ Seretide alone. Other branded players such as AstraZeneca and Novartis(and Sandoz) also remain committed to this market in the long term.
We expect sluggish growth despite multiple new launches and positivedemographics: We forecast that the Global inhaled respiratory maintenance market willshow volume growth of just 2% over the period 2012A-2025E as combination therapiesbecome more prevalent, reducing the number of individual prescriptions per patient,despite positive demographic changes in Emerging Markets. We forecast only 1% revenuegrowth over the same period, reaching a peak of c$22bn in 2016E before the expectedcombined impact of non-substitutable generics for key products in Europe from 2014E andAB-rated substitutable Advair generics in the US from 2017E. However, we do expect thatthe market will return to revenue growth thereafter, driven by premium pricing for triplecombination therapy products in particular.
LABA/ ICS market set for the most change: The LABA/ ICS market for asthma andCOPD is dominated by GlaxoSmithKline's Advair and AstraZeneca's Symbicort. Our surveypredicts that GlaxoSmithKline's Breo Ellipta will become the leading LABA/ ICS brand forCOPD as soon as five years after launch. Despite some near term upside from new productlaunches and aggressive price increases for Advair (and Symbicort in parallel) to force theswitch onto Breo Ellipta, we forecast that the LABA/ ICS class will come under intensepressure from the launch of value brands and non-substitutable generics in Europe andsubstitutable Advair generics in the US (from late 2016E). Further pressure will likely comefrom the launch of the LABA/ LAMA class in the near term and then from LABA/ LAMA/ ICStriple combination products in the longer term.
New LABA/ LAMA class offers some switching potential and pricing upside: Ourproprietary physician survey and interviews indicate that pulmonologists are enthusiasticabout new fixed dose LABA/ LAMA offerings, such as GlaxoSmithKline's Anoro Ellipta,expecting this class to be prescribed to c20% of COPD patients five years after launch. Muchof the market share for this class is expected be gained from the LAMA class (e.g. BoehringerIngelheim's Spiriva). GlaxoSmithKline appears very well positioned in this class with likelyfirst-to-market status in the US, once-daily dosing and a premium device.
Stock implications: Company notes published in parallel and taking the implicationsof this report into account show a positive impact (3%-8%) to our GlaxoSmithKline EPSestimates between 2014E-16E, whilst our 2017E EPS estimate falls by 14% when US Advairgenerics are brought into the equation. Our AstraZeneca EPS estimates fall by 3%-12% across2014E-17E based on our work in this report (see separate company note), whilst our Novartisestimates are not impacted and we have made no formal changes to estimates.

Executive Summary The $31bn Global respiratory market is likely to see a number of significant changes over
the next five to ten years as new players enter the market either with new branded or
generic products and existing players broaden their product offerings with new
combination products and devices. This market is critical to a number of companies under
our coverage, with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK LN, 1,629p, Hold) being particularly exposed as
the market leader, with 19% of Group revenues in Advair/ Seretide alone. Other branded
players such as AstraZeneca (AZN LN, 3,190p, Hold) and Novartis (NOVN VX, CHF71.35,
Buy) also remain committed to this market in the long term, whilst generics companies,
such as Mylan (MYL, $38.05, NC) and Novartis’ own Sandoz unit see significant potential
in virgin markets for generic products in the US and Europe.
Guided by a survey of 52 US based pulmonologists conducted in August 2013, we have
built out what we believe is the most contemporary and forward thinking Global
respiratory market models available to investors. The market is extremely complex and the
large number of moving pieces that we have had to consider have led us to make some
significant changes to our thinking on several key respiratory franchises as described in
detail in this report.
It is worth noting specifically at this point that we have mostly considered and evaluated
the Global inhaled maintenance respiratory market for COPD and asthma for the
purposes of this report (total value c$18bn in 2012A), which does exclude some product
classes. However, all of our company models reflect the entirety of their respiratory
franchises including other classes such as oral leukotriene D4 antagonists, corticosteroids,
antibody-based injectable therapeutics and short-acting beta-agonists.
The key implications for the respiratory market and individual companies considered
within this report are as follows:
We expect that the Global inhaled respiratory maintenance market will show
volume growth of just 2% over the period 2012A-2025E as combination
therapies become more prevalent, reducing the number of individual
prescriptions per patient. This driver is likely to be somewhat offset by price
increases for new combination products as well as positive demographics in
Emerging Market countries, where increased prevalence of smoking may act as a
strong volume driver over time. However, it remains unclear as to how well high
value branded products will fair in these markets,
We expect that the Global inhaled respiratory maintenance market will show
only 1% value growth over this period, reaching a peak of c$22bn in 2016E
before we anticipate the combined impact of non-substitutable generics for key
products in Europe from 2014E and AB-rated substitutable generics in the US
from 2017E. However, we do expect the market to begin to recover some value
growth thereafter, driven by premium pricing for triple combination therapy
products in particular,
We anticipate a strong shift towards fixed dose combination products such as
LABA/ LAMA and eventually LABA/ LAMA/ ICS (or MABA/ ICS) with patient
compliance, potential for increased efficacy and a better overall deal for payors
being strong drivers of this,

GlaxoSmithKline should see value growth in its respiratory franchise out to
2016E at least driven by strong US pricing behind Advair to help force switching
over to Breo Ellipta, as well as the launch of Anoro Ellipta. We expect that Anoro
Ellipta will gain significant share from the LAMA class in COPD, while putting
limited pressure on the LABA/ ICS and LABA alone classes. However, we see
significant destruction of value should substitutable generics launch in the US by
2017E, compounded by price referencing pressure from non-substitutable
generics in Europe from 2014E. As a result we have increased our key respiratory
combination franchise (Advair, Anoro Ellipta, Breo Ellipta) revenue estimates for
GlaxoSmithKline by 2%-17% from 2013E-16E, but have then reduced our 2017E
estimate by 25% due to the impact of US generics. From the Group context, this
and other updates (e.g. FX [negative impact of [1%-2%] and the setback on the
MAGE-A3 program) have led us to increase group revenue estimates by 0%-2%
from 2014E-16E and cut 2017E by 6%. From the perspective of Group EPS, we
have increased 2014E-16E EPS by 3%-8%, whilst lowering our 2017E EPS by
14%. We have cut our PT for GlaxoSmithKline to 1,750p from 1,800p and
reiterate our Hold rating (see separate company note also published today for
more details),
AstraZeneca should see slowing growth for its respiratory franchise from 2014E
as Symbicort volume is pressured by in-class competitors (Breo for COPD in the
US, value brands and potentially generics ex-US), and new class launches (LABA/
LAMA class). We expect AstraZeneca to increase the price of Symbicort in the US,
following expected Advair price increases by GlaxoSmithKline, which should
ensure franchise value growth through to 2016E. Volume pressure in the US and
ex-US, and price pressure ex-US will likely push the franchise into decline from
2016E, with the launch of Novartis’ LABA/ ICS QMF149 further adding to the
pressure on the franchise. We see significant pressure on Symbicort revenues
due should a substitutable generic of Advair launch in the US by 2017E,
compounded by price referencing pressure from non-substitutable LABA/ ICS
generics in Europe from 2014E. Whilst the launch of AstraZeneca’s LABA/ LAMA
PT003 will provide a new leg to the franchise, this will be a comparatively late
entrant to the class in 2016E. Revising our company model to reflect this and
other fine tuning, including updated FX, lowers our Group revenue
expectations by 0% to 7% and our CORE EPS numbers by 0% to 12% over the
forecast period. We have cut our PT for AstraZeneca to 2,850p from 3,200p and
reiterate our Hold rating (see separate company note also published today for
more details),
Novartis is a relative new market entrant in the inhaled respiratory market, with
its only significant marketed respiratory product to date being the injectable
anti-IgE mAb Xolair. We expect Novartis’ inhaled respiratory franchise to reach
‚blockbuster‛ status in 2017E. Our global therapy model and proprietary
pulmonologist survey suggests Novartis’ inhaled respiratory franchise (QVA149,
Arcapta, Seebri, QMF149) will struggle to meet current consensus expectations
which are looking for 2017E sales of $1.7bn. Regulatory delays in the US and an
inferior device (according to pulmonologists) will make it difficult for Novartis to
compete successfully in what has become a competitive market. At only 3% of
group sales in 2017E (including Xolair), we do not see the company’s
respiratory franchise as being a significant driver for investor sentiment in either
direction.

Respiratory market overview The Global respiratory market value was worth $31bn in 2012A, down from $32.7bn in
2011A according to EvaluatePharma (CAGR 7%, 2005A-2012A), due to the loss of
exclusivity for Merck & Co’s (MRK, $47.71, Buy) leukotriene D4 antagonist, Singulair, in
2012. Key respiratory market players include GlaxoSmithKline (34% of global market
value in 2012A), Boehringer Ingelheim [private] (20%), AstraZeneca (14%) and Merck &
Co (14%). The remaining 18% global market value share is split between branded (e.g.
Roche (ROG VX, CHF239.30, Buy)/ Novartis with the anti-IgE mAb Xolair) and generic/
value brand/ local market players.

The majority of this report focuses on key inhaled branded respiratory drug classes used
for maintenance therapy in asthma and COPD. For example, this excludes leukotriene D4
antagonists (oral, largely generic), corticosteroids (ICS, largely generic), the anti-IgE mAb
Xolair (injectable) and short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs, largely used for rescue therapy,
largely generic).
There are many new approaches in early stage development for asthma and COPD,
including monoclonal antibodies (e.g. Roche’s lebrikizumab) which we have not covered
in this report (although they are included in our company models, and overall respiratory
franchise charts in this note).

We expect the global maintenance respiratory market volume to grow at a CAGR of 2%
(2012A-2025E), driven by new patients and treatment intensity gains ex-US. It is worth
noting that there may be a negative drag on prescription volume due to greater use of
various combinations, aggregating multiple inhalers into one device, effectively cutting
the number of individual prescriptions while providing the same activity at each target.

US Pulmonologist Survey Design We conducted a quantitative survey of 52 US based pulmonologists in August 2013. The
aim of the study was to gain insight into the impact of the launch of new drug classes and
new brands in the COPD and asthma indications.
The surveyed pulmonologists treated on average 646 patients per month, and practiced
in a cross section of medical facilities. On average, our surveyed pulmonologists had
practiced this specialty for 14 years. We have presented the full results (expressed as the
numerical mean) of this survey in the appendix to this document. We also interviewed a
KOL consultant Pulmonologist following the survey. The following section outlines the
key findings from the survey.
Current treatment algorithm likely to change
At present, COPD patients are treated with LAMA, LABA, and ICS containing treatments in
various combinations as maintenance therapies, depending upon the severity of their
disease (see Appendix I for the percentage of patients treated with each individual option
split by COPD GOLD severity groupings). We have presented the percentage of COPD
patients receiving some of the key treatment options in Exhibit 8.
As can be seen, combinations including LAMA’s are prescribed to c60% of all COPD
patients by our survey respondents. c40% of patients are prescribed a LABA/ ICS fixed
dose combination, with c30% of patients receiving triple therapy. As would be expected,
the intensity of treatment increases through the GOLD patient groups. For example,
GOLD Patient groups C and D which have a high risk of exacerbations are more likely to
have received ICS containing treatment combinations. As a result, circa 50% of patients in
these two groups receive triple therapy at present.

As part of our survey, we presented pulmonologists with a scenario in which LABA/ LAMA
fixed dose combinations and LABA/ LAMA/ ICS fixed dose combinations are available
options. As can be seen in Exhibit 9, these two treatment options would be popular
choices for pulmonologists treating COPD. Surveyed pulmonologists would prescribe a
LABA/ LAMA fixed dose combination to c20% of patients, and a LABA/ LAMA/ ICS fixed
dose combination to c30% of patients. LAMA containing therapies increase from c.60% to
c.70% of COPD patients, indicating the availability of combinations would increase
accessibility for patients to LAMA treatments.
Exhibit 9: Percentage of patients treated therapy class 5 years from now (non-exclusive)
Source: MedPanel Pulmonologists survey, Jefferies research
Administration with LAMA-only containing devices (e.g. Spiriva) was the treatment option
most negatively impacted by the potential introduction of alternative combinations (25%
decline in prescribing in 5 years). LABA/ ICS fixed dose combinations may also become a
less popular prescribing option in the presence of alternative fixed dosed combinations,
although survey respondents only expected to prescribe this drug class 7% less in 5 years’
time. Indeed, LABA/ ICS may remain the most popular fixed dose combination product
prescribed to COPD patients based on the results of our survey.
The availability of additional combination products, including fixed dose devices, is
expected to stimulate prescribing of triple therapy by 14% to 45% of all COPD patients
according to our survey.

Devices likely to play a key role in differentiating winners from losers
Devices have been a large part of asthma/ COPD inhaler success over the last 10 years.
They provide differentiation, new life-cycle management/ patent protection options and
innovation potential for the class. Our surveyed pulmonologists opined that the inhaler
device itself influenced their prescribing decision for asthma (impact level of 6.7/10) and
COPD (impact level of 6.8/10). Dry-powder inhalers (DPI, e.g. Advair Diskus) were rated
more highly than metered dose inhalers (MDI, e.g. Dulera). Our survey indicates that
pulmonologists see multi-dose DPI’s (e.g. Advair Diskus) having an advantage over single-
shot/ refillable DPIs (e.g. Novartis’ Neohaler/ Breezhaler).

With many of the combination programs incorporating devices already known to
pulmonologists and with devices being influential on prescribing decisions, we thought it
would be insightful to ask for a relative rating of devices. As would be consistent with the
respondent’s previous answers, they favoured multi-dose DPIs the highest. These include
GlaxoSmithKline’s Advair Diskus, Breo Ellipta and Forest Pharmaceuticals’ (FRX, $44.33,
Buy)/ Almirall’s (ALM SM, €8.98, Hold) Tudorza Pressair. Single-shot/ refillable DPIs such
as Novartis’ Arcapta/ Onbrez Neohaler/ Breezhaler and Boehringer Ingelheim’s Spiriva
Handihaler were regarded as similarly rated devices to the MDIs (Symbicort, Advair HFA,
Dulera).
With Novartis planning to use the Neohaler/ Breezhaler across its portfolio, we would
suggest that this may impinge on the potential of its LABA/ LAMA QVA149 (Ultibro) and
LABA/ ICS QMF149.
Boehringer Ingelheim’s Respimat device for Striverdi (LABA) falls outside of these three
categories as a soft-mist inhaler. This was the poorest rated device amongst survey
pulmonologists. Spiriva (LAMA) delivered via this device was associated with an increased
risk of death in a meta-analysis published in the British Medical Journal in 2011. This
association may have had a negative impact on physician’s perception of the device,
despite the popularity of this form of therapy. This could be unfavorable for the potential
adoption of Boehringer Ingelheim’s LABA/ LAMA fixed dose combination (Spiriva +
Striverdi), which is believed to use this device in the current Phase III program.

Key Survey Results and Modeling Implications LABA/ ICS class: Breo Ellipta launch likely to drive both price and share shifts
With 74% of our survey pulmonologists aware of GlaxoSmithKline’s Breo Ellipta prior to
its US launch, awareness is relatively high for what is in effect a late entrance into the
LABA/ ICS class. Once daily dosing is a clear advantage for Breo Ellipta over Advair,
Symbicort or Dulera. The pulmonologists in our survey agreed strongly with the
statement that this product offers better convenience, and better compliance (Exhibit 14),
but did not agree strongly that Breo Ellipta has the best delivery device or better efficacy
than competitors.

Exhibit 14: Advantages of Breo Ellipta

With the majority of patients administering LABA/ ICS fixed dose combinations twice daily
(as labeled, Exhibit 15), the availability of a once-daily option will offer an easy point of
differentiation.

Breo Ellipta will initially only be indicated for COPD in the US (an asthma filing could
occur, but we presume that this will not be successful for now), although it will likely be
available for both asthma and COPD outside of the US. Our survey indicates that 48% of
LABA/ ICS fixed dose combination prescribing is currently for COPD, with 51% for asthma
(1% for other). Feedback we have received from our consultant in this area would suggest
that we should expect some off-label prescribing of Breo Ellipta in asthma in the US.
Our survey indicates that US pulmonologists expect to prescribe Breo Ellipta to 35% of
their LABA/ ICS fixed dose combination COPD patients after being on the market for 5
years. Breo Ellipta will overtake Advair to be the most prescribed LABA/ ICS for COPD
according to our survey, with Advair market share declining from 51% to 29%. Given that
the future of Breo Ellipta in asthma in the US remains uncertain, we would expect that
Advair will remain the more frequently prescribed brand across both indications.

5 years after the launch of Breo Ellipta

While much of the market share gain for Breo Ellipta will likely be derived from Advair in
COPD (-22%), AstraZeneca’s Symbicort (-11%) and Merck & Co’s Dulera (-3%) are also
expected to lose market share. Our survey indicates that GlaxoSmithKline will increase its
share of the COPD LABA/ ICS fixed dose combination from 51% to 64% over the next 5
years (assuming 2013E Breo launch).

share 5 years after the Breo Ellipta launch

In addition to considering the market share of Breo Ellipta within the LABA/ ICS fixed dose
combination drug class, we also need to consider the expected dynamics of that class
within the wider respiratory market. Our survey respondents expect that LABA/ ICS fixed
dose combinations will decline from being used in 40% of patients (either alone, or in
combination with other treatments), to being used in 33% of total COPD patients. This
LABA/ ICS market share loss is due to the entrance of new drug classes such as the LABA/
LAMA class.
Supported by our survey, we expect reasonable conversion from Advair to Breo Ellipta in
COPD in the US, with Breo Ellipta reaching 12% of LABA/ ICS prescriptions in 2016E,
ahead of the launch of Advair generics. In 2017 and beyond, we would expect Breo Ellipta
market share to come under pressure in the US due to the potential availability of multi-
source substitutable Advair generics.
Outside of the US, we expect Breo Ellipta to slowly gain market share in asthma and
COPD, reaching 25% of all LABA/ ICS prescriptions in 2020E. Compared to the US, we
expect a broader label (COPD and asthma), but more near-term (from 2014E) branded/
value brand/ generic competition. However, we do not expect a substitutable Advair
generic ex-US (at least in most markets), and therefore Breo Ellipta may have more time to
gain market share before much cheaper generic versions of a similar product are available.
We expect GlaxoSmithKline to increase the US price of Advair aggressively over the next
few years to aid the switch into Breo Ellipta. We would also expect AstraZeneca to follow
suit and take price increases in parallel for Symbicort. We expect modest sales for
Novartis’ QMF149 given the inferior perceived device (as perceived by surveyed
pulmonologists), lack of US market approval, and late entrance to the market.

We expect additional launches of value brands (e.g. Flutiform or Foster) and generics
outside of the US over the next few years, with generic versions of Advair and/ or
Symbicort possible from any time now in Europe. Through reference pricing, we expect
this to put pressure on branded prices ex-US rather than have a more direct impact on
volumes through substitution. We expect value brands/ generics to constitute c.23% of
the LABA/ ICS market volume ex-US by 2025E.

We expect the LABA/ ICS class global sales to peak at $14.8bn in 2016E. After this point,
generic versions of Advair in the US will likely impair market value for this class.
Conversion over to LABA/ LAMA combination products and the introduction of the LABA/

LABA/ LAMA class: Enter Anoro Ellipta
The pulmonologists included in our survey expect to prescribe a LABA/ LAMA fixed dose
combination to c20% of COPD patients in five years’ time. This would either be as a
standalone product, or in combination with an ICS to produce an alternative form of
triple therapy. The majority of patients at low risk of exacerbation (GOLD patient groups A
and B) do not receive ICS treatment at present according to pulmonologists (c.60%).
Feedback from our consultant suggests that treatment with an ICS adds little or no benefit
in these patients, but offers the potential for side effects. Therefore in these patients, a
once-daily LABA/ LAMA could offer a safer, convenient, and effective alternative. Indeed,
this would be in line with the current GOLD recommendations.
At present our survey suggests that c27% and 50% of GOLD patient group A and B
patients, respectively, are receiving an ICS, the majority of which is through use of a
LABA/ ICS fixed dose inhaler. Our consultant suggests that in order to achieved LAMA and
LABA therapy, combining a LABA/ ICS and LAMA is sometimes conducted because of a
lack of good LABA single device options. He also mentioned that the recent launch of
Novartis’ Arcapta/ Onbrez Neohaler/ Breezhaler has meant that combination use with
Spiriva to achieve LABA/ LAMA therapy has become an alternative option in GOLD patient
group A and B patients which do not require ICS treatment. We therefore believe that the
availability a LABA/ LAMA fixed dose combination (starting with GlaxoSmithKline’s Anoro
Ellipta in the US, and Novartis’ QVA149 ex-US) will be welcomed by pulmonologists
because it offers a convenient route to dual therapy in a single modern device.
Triple combination could also be achieved with Anoro Ellipta and potentially a generic
ICS. This would offer potentially a much cheaper option than the most popular route to
achieving this outcome at present which is Advair/ Symbicort + Spiriva. In addition, triple
therapy could be achieved by combining Anoro Ellipta with GlaxoSmithKline’s new ICS
fluticasone furoate (although likely off-label, currently in Phase III for Asthma only), to
achieve triple therapy with once-daily dosing.
The potential to achieve cheaper and more convenient triple therapy, and the formation
of this new class, underpins our expectation for a price premium for Anoro Ellipta over
Advair/ Breo Ellipta (c40% premium to Advair in 2014).
GlaxoSmithKline may have to tread carefully when launching Anoro Ellipta. It would be
potentially damaging to market Anoro as a ‚safer‛ alternative to triple therapy when it
has so much at stake in the LABA/ ICS class. Nevertheless, our survey suggests that a clear
role for LABA/ LAMA monotherapy is present and formation of an alternative triple
therapy regime is also a possibility in the future for patients with different stages of COPD.
We would expect Anoro Ellipta to be the market leading LABA/ LAMA due to its once-daily
dosing, first-to-market status (in the US), and multi-dose DPI device. Novartis’ QVA149 is
likely to be administered twice daily in the US, as is Forest/ Almirall’s Tudorza +
Formoterol, AstraZeneca’s PT003, and Boehringer Ingelheim’s Spiriva + Striverdi.
We would expect aggressive marketing from Forest/ Almirall and Boehringer Ingelheim in
the LABA/ LAMA class. Unlike GlaxoSmithKline/ AstraZeneca, they will potentially be able
to describe ICS use in low exacerbation risk patients as inappropriate when detailing
LABA/ LAMA as a safer option to triple therapy in this patient group. Novartis would also
potentially be able to employ this strategy in the US where it is not expected to file
QMF149 for approval.
We expect the LABA/ LAMA class to peak at 12% of global prescriptions in 2019, and 24%
of global value in the same year. After this point the introduction of LABA/ LAMA/ ICS
class drugs would likely impinge on the LABA/ LAMA class.

LABA/ LAMA/ ICS class: The “Holy Grail” of COPD therapy
We asked US Pulmonologists to opine on their potential prescribing of a triple therapy
single device as part of our survey. This was a popular choice with c.30% of COPD
patients expected to be prescribed a triple therapy fixed dose combination after five years
should one become available (becoming the most popular treatment choice at that
point). We understand that this is the ‚Holy Grail‛ for the current market participants,
with each major player making steps to move towards this solution.
GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca are developing triple combinations which include three
separate molecules. However, triple therapy in a single device poses both technical and
regulatory challenges. Both companies are also developing a molecule with both LABA
and LAMA activity (a MABA), which could reduce the constituents to effectively two
molecules to achieve triple combination (i.e. MABA + ICS). This would clearly aid in both
the technical and regulatory challenges. We would expect a triple combination to become
the most dominant class over the long-term, with a significant price premium to double
combinations, such as LABA/ LAMA or LABA/ ICS (e.g. we expect at least a 10% premium
to our expected Anoro Ellipta price in 2020E, equivalent to a c90% premium to our

expected Breo Ellipta price in the same year). This class would likely cannibalize product
offerings from other players, however a higher price premium should ensure significant
franchise value gains.
Under the assumption of a 2020E launch, we expect the LABA/LAMA/ ICS class to reach
18% of global prescriptions in 2025E. Supported by premium pricing, we expect this class
to represent 39% of global value in 2025E (c$7.7bn, Exhibit 35).

Stock Implications GlaxoSmithKline expected to benefit into the mid term until generics bite
Although GlaxoSmithKline is well positioned with new product offerings, it may be
unable to prevent a ‚patent cliff like event‛ in 2017E. The release of Draft Guidelines for a
potential Advair generic in the US suggests a substitutable product should now be
expected from late 2016E or 2017E.
Exhibit 36: JEFe company modeled sales for GlaxoSmithKline, 2009A-2020E
Source: Jefferies estimates, company data
Substitutable generic Advair now expected from late 2016E
Draft FDA guidelines for developing a generic version of Advair provides the ability to file
under an ANDA 505(j) pathway. This would allow for the potential approval of a fully
substitutable generic. With the guidelines also requiring the device to have the same
major characteristics of the original Diskus inhaler, it seems likely that any generic device
would still run the risk of infringing GlaxoSmithKline’s remaining Aug 2016 patent
exclusivity, covering the blister pack. This would mean any filing prior to the patent expiry
would require a Paragraph IV certification that it either doesn’t infringe the patent, or the
patent is invalid. Whilst this would guarantee the first to file company a 6 month
exclusivity, it would also enable GlaxoSmithKline to sue, triggering a 30 month stay on a
generic launch, pending litigation outcome.
It could easily be mid-2014 before the guidelines are eventually finalized, given the
representations that will likely be made to the FDA by various interested parties. On a
worse-case scenario, assuming a generic device is already available that meets FDA
requirements and studies have already been completed, a first generic could theoretically
file in Q3’14. If it took the full 30 months of the stay to get to court, it would already be
Q1’17, beyond the life of the patent. On this basis it seems unlikely that a generic will
launch in the US before the Aug 2016 patent expires. Meanwhile a first to file generic
company would have 6 months exclusivity, so it could be Q1’17 before multi source
generics have the opportunity to launch.

A number of generic companies have been looking at developing inhaled generic DPI
products for some time now, including Novartis’ Sandoz and Mylan. Following disclosure
of the draft guidelines John Sheehan, the CFO of Mylan, was quoted at the Morgan
Stanley Global Healthcare Conference on 10th September 2013, saying:
“…the guidance…is exactly in line with what we had indicated our discussions with the FDA –
were, and so, fully anticipated from our side”. “Our device…..has been examined by the FDA.
Our program has been validated as a AB-rated program, generically substitutable program.
And so, we are definitely moving down the path for a generic form of Advair.”
This implies that as long as the final guidelines do not have any major changes in them,
Mylan would appear to be well advanced. Sheehan went on to say;
“….this is going to be a hard to formulate product, hard to manufacture that's where
Mylan's expertise has typically been and therefore we believe that this will be a market that
still have a small number of players and as a result that there will be significant value….”.
He later clarified that Mylan expected “the launch of a generic Advair in 2016”.
This further confirms the expectation that we could have a US generic shortly after the
remaining Advair patent expires. Even if the assertion that it is hard to formulate and
manufacture is correct, even a ‘small number of players’ will still have a devastating effect
on pricing as they fight for market share. Lovenox would serve as a good example to
prove the point here, in our view.
Positive Anoro AdCom vote and supportive class expectations from our survey
Following the near unanimous vote for approval by the FDA’s Advisory committee panel
on September 10th, Anoro Ellipta is very likely to offer first-to-market status in the US, will
likely be the only once-daily LABA/ LAMA on the US market and uses a best-in-class
device, in our opinion. Novartis will present competition ex-US, where QVA149 (Ultibro)
will be first-to-market and once-daily, although our surveyed pulmonologists appeared
less convinced regarding the Neohaler/ Breezhaler device it uses.
We expect GlaxoSmithKline to price Anoro Ellipta at a significant premium to Advair or
Breo Ellipta and our surveyed pulmonologists expect to prescribe a LABA/ LAMA fixed
dose combination to c20% of COPD patients in five years’ time. Much of the market share
for Anoro Ellipta will be gained from patients who would have been prescribed two
branded products (Advair + Spiriva for example), therefore a higher price should be
justified. Some market share for GlaxoSmithKline’s LABA/ ICSs’ Advair and Breo Ellipta
may be lost to Anoro Ellipta in COPD, but this should be a positive event given our
expected higher price point for Anoro Ellipta.
Breo Ellipta offers a chance to protect some of the franchise, but not enough
Breo Ellipta offers once-daily LABA/ ICS therapy for COPD patients in the US, and
potentially for both COPD and asthma patients ex-US. 74% of surveyed pulmonologists
were aware of Breo Ellipta prior to the product’s launch, and noted convenience and
compliance as key attributes. We expect GlaxoSmithKline to employ a price-driven
switching strategy from Advair, helping to protect the franchise from potential Advair
generics and value brands. We expect a key part of this strategy to include significant
price increases for Advair from the point of launch, encouraging switching and providing
a near term boost to overall franchise sales. GlaxoSmithKline is also well positioned to
reach the COPD ‚holy grail‛ of triple therapy in a single device. This could be through its
new LABA, LAMA, and ICS molecules or through development of MABA in combination
with an ICS.

Exhibit 39: GlaxoSmithKline inhaled key respiratory

Source: Jefferies estimates, company data
We have included sales for a triple (LABA/ LAMA/ ICS) fixed dose combination for
GlaxoSmithKline from 2020E. GlaxoSmithKline has a program in Phase I which includes its
new generation of products in a triple therapy fixed dose combination (vilanterol [LABA],
umeclidinium [LAMA], and fluticasone furoate [ICS]) for COPD. In addition to this,
management commentary would suggest that it sees the development of MABA (961081,
Phase II, LAMA and LABA activity in a single molecule) as a step towards its incorporation
in a triple combination. We have not included sales for MABA as a single product in our
market model and would expect some cannibalization of Anoro Ellipta should both
products make it to the market. c.30% of patients are expected to receive a triple therapy
fixed dose combination after five years should one become available according to
pulmonologists included in our survey.

GlaxoSmithKline is also investigating umeclidinium (LAMA) and fluticasone furoate (ICS)
in a fixed dose combination for asthma in Phase II. With a lack of LAMA data in asthma to
date, we have not included sales for LAMA or its combinations for asthma within our
market model and therefore it could present some upside to our estimates.
GlaxoSmithKline is also investigating fluticasone furoate (ICS) as a single product for
asthma. We have not specifically included sales for this product in our market model, with
the ICS class sales included as a single class line. This class generated $3bn in sales in
2012A according to IMS health. We would see fluticasone furoate as a useful once-daily
option, especially if combined with a once daily LABA/ LAMA such as Anoro Ellipta to
produce an alternative triple therapy regime.
US franchise expected to see significant volatility in the mid term
We expect US prescription growth for GlaxoSmithKline’s respiratory franchise driven by
Anoro Ellipta, UMEC, and vilanterol approval from 2014E through to 2016E. From 2017E
the introduction of substitutable Advair generics, increased competition across respiratory
drug classes, and the introduction of triple fixed dose combinations, will decrease
volumes for the franchise as a whole in our opinion.
According to surveyed pulmonologists, GlaxoSmithKline will expand its share of the
COPD LABA/ ICS fixed dose combination market from 51% to 64% in five years’ time. We
expect US inhaled respiratory franchise sales growth through to 2016E generated by the
launch of higher value products and price increases for Advair in particular, before the
franchise undergoes significant generic incursion in 2017E. From a new base, we would
expect the franchise to start growing from 2020E due to the launch of a triple
combination therapy.

Ex-US franchise expected to see more steady pressure on value growth
We expect ex-US volume growth for GlaxoSmithKline’s respiratory franchise driven by
continued adoption of combination products and COPD/ asthma awareness in the
Emerging Markets, and the launch of new drug classes and product offerings. Despite this
volume increase, we expect pricing to come under pressure (especially in Europe).
Reference pricing to value brands (e.g. Flutiform and Foster) and generics (of Advair and/
or Symbicort) may put significant pressure on key respiratory combination pricing.

We expect volume for GlaxoSmithKline’s global inhaled respiratory franchise (key
products) to increase with a CAGR of 1% (2012A–25E). Although GlaxoSmithKline is at
the forefront of drug development in the respiratory field, increased branded and generic
competition may constrain value growth. We therefore expect the value of
GlaxoSmithKline’s franchise to decrease with a CAGR of 1% (2012A-25E).

AstraZeneca expected to be buffeted by external forces and late entry with its
own new products
AstraZeneca has done well to gain significant market share with Symbicort despite its late
market entrance and inferior MDI device in the US (according to surveyed
pulmonologists). Over the mid-term we expect some of the market share for the LABA/
LAMA drug class to come from the LABA/ ICS class in COPD, as suggested by our survey.
We expect AstraZeneca to enter the market with a LABA/ LAMA (PT003) in 2016E,
therefore over the near-term some market share will be lost to GlaxoSmithKline in the US
and ex-US and Novartis ex-US.
Exhibit 46: JEFe company modeled sales for AstraZeneca, 2009A-2020E
Source: Jefferies estimates, company data
AstraZeneca has a MABA in Phase II development, for which we expect the ultimate utility
to be within a MABA/ ICS fixed dose combination to produce LABA/ LAMA/ ICS triple
therapy. In addition, AstraZeneca’s Pearl unit has a triple combination product, termed
PT010 in development (glycopyrrolate, formoterol fumarate and an ICS, in a MDI device).
We expect AstraZeneca to be well positioned to launch a triple-therapy around the same
time as GlaxoSmithKline, although we expect GlaxoSmithKline to employ a dry-powder
inhaler with once-daily dosing which would be superior to Peal’s MDI according to
surveyed pulmonologists.

We expect AstraZeneca’s inhaled respiratory franchise (key products) to peak at $3.7bn in
2015E, followed by a slow decline through to 2018E. Our new expectations are $1.8bn
lower than our previous expectation in 2018E, but in-line with consensus expectations.

Late development of new products likely to see Symbicort highly exposed to
competitors in the US
We expect Symbicort volume to be pressured by the introduction of the LABA/ LAMA
class, and the introduction of GlaxoSmithKline’s Breo Ellipta (LABA/ ICS) in the US for
COPD. Symbicort is expected to lose 11% of its US COPD LABA/ ICS market share in five
years due to the presence of Breo Ellipta according to surveyed pulmonologists. We
expect GlaxoSmithKline to increase the price of Advair over the next few years to stimulate
switching to Breo Ellipta in the US. We expect AstraZeneca to follow this pricing trend in
the US, helping to offset volume losses. We would expect significant volume pressure for
Symbicort in the US (especially on new patients) once an Advair generic becomes
available in 2017E, in our opinion.

Ex-US franchise similarly exposed, but with softer generic pressures
Underlying demand for AstraZeneca’s products outside of the US is expected by us to be
driven by increasing adoption of combination products and COPD/ asthma awareness in
the Emerging Markets. This will likely be offset by increased novel branded products (e.g.
QMF149), value brands (e.g. Flutiform) and generic competition (e.g. Sandoz) ex-US.
AstraZeneca’s Symbicort may also come under pressure from some switching from LABA/
ICSs’ to Novartis’ and GlaxoSmithKline’s LABA/ LAMAs’ ex-US over the near term.
As with GlaxoSmithKline, we expect significant ex-US value loss for the AstraZeneca
inhaled respiratory franchise (key products) due to reference pricing and other price
pressure generated by the introduction of value brands and generics.

Branded respiratory products unlikely to be a major success in the long term
for Novartis
Novartis is a relatively new entrant in the inhaled respiratory disease area. Surveyed
pulmonologists were not overly impressed with Novartis’ Neohaler/ Breezhaler device,
which is being employed across its product portfolio. This may be a missed opportunity in
our opinion, as are the regulatory challenges that the company has faced in the US. We
do not expect a significant revenue opportunity for Arcapta/ Onbrez (LABA) or Seebri
(LAMA). Both products offer little advantage over existing therapies, will be facing
competition from GlaxoSmithKline with vilanterol and UMEC, respectively, and are
entering a market at the point when further combinations will erode single product sales
(LABA/ LAMA class development).
Exhibit 56: JEFe company modeled sales for Novartis, 2009A-2020E
Source: Jefferies estimates, company data
We have not explicitly forecast revenues for Novartis’ Sandoz business unit to benefit from
launching generic versions of key respiratory products (e.g. Advair or/ and Symbicort) in
our market model, although this opportunity is included within our revenue estimates for
Sandoz and Novartis as a whole. It is worth pointing out that we expect generic versions
of LABA/ ICS’s to generate c$1.4bn globally in 2020E (and a one-off peak of $3bn globally
in 2017E, driven by a higher price point for first-to-file status in the US for one generic
player). It would seem likely that Sandoz would be a significant participant in this market,
in our view.
As a viable alternative to multi-blockbuster Spiriva, Seebri is a welcomed addition to the
pulmonologist’s armory, but the opportunity to capitalize on this ahead of fixed dose
combinations and the launch of GlaxoSmithKline’s UMEC was lost in the US when further
dose finding studies were required. QVA149 received a positive CHMP recommendation
in July 2013, and therefore will likely be a first-to-market LABA/ LAMA in Europe. It is also
dosed once-daily in Europe. In the US, further dose finding studies were required, we
expect QVA149 to be ultimately approved as a twice-daily product in the US, with launch
not until 2015. QMF149 (LABA/ ICS) offers further potential ex-US, but is unlikely to be
filed in the US.

US franchise expected to see modest success from new products
We expect QVA149 to reach the US market in 2015E, the same year we could see
launches of LABA/ LAMA offerings by Forrest/ Almirall and Boehringer Ingelheim (we
expect AstraZeneca to follow in 2016E). We also expect QVA149 to be dosed twice daily
in the US, compared with an earlier launch and once-daily dosing ex-US.

for Novartis franchise
Source: Jefferies estimates
Ex-US franchise expected to fare better
We expect QVA149 to be a more competitive offering ex-US than US, where it will reach
some markets with first-to-market status and will be dosed once-daily. We also expect
QMF149 to reach some ex-US markets, although this will be a late entrance to the LABA/
ICS class and the Neohaler/ Breezhaler device was not seen as favourably as other devices
by our surveyed pulmonologists.

(prescription equivalents) for Novartis franchise
Source: Jefferies estimates
Exhibit 63: Ex-US key inhaled respiratory market value
($m) for Novartis franchise
Source: Jefferies estimates
Our market model suggests that Novartis will develop a ‚blockbuster‛ branded inhaled
respiratory franchise, reaching $1.4bn in 2018E. As stated previously, this excludes the
sales for injectable anti-IgE mAb Xolair which generated c$500m for Novartis in 2012A.
