1Can consolidation in the medical technology
industry improve healthcare?
- Dr. Laurent LeksellPresident CEOElekta AB
2Elekta global leader in radiation oncology and
neurosurgery
- Global medical technology Group with HQ in
Stockholm, Sweden - Clinically effective and cost-efficient solutions
and services for - improved management of cancer
- minimally and non-invasive treatment of brain
disorders - Net sales of USD 600 M and 1,700 employees
- Listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange with a
market cap of USD 1.200 M - History of numerous acquisitions recently IMPAC
Medical Systems Inc.
3Key questions
- Will consolidation in the medtech industry
continue? - Which factors drive consolidation? Which factors
drive fragmentation? - Is medtech industry consolidation beneficial for
providers and patients? - Case study Elektas experience in cancer
management
4Medtech industry overview
- The medtech industry has combined sales exceeding
200 billion per year - Global growth rate of 10
- Medical equipment expenditure is a small share,
only 3-6, of health care costs - For example, radiation therapy is an capital
intensive practice, still equipment is only 10
of total cost for radiation therapy

5Global medtech industry trends
- Strong fundamentals
- Favorable demographics, life style changes and
predictable demand - Compelling clinical utility
- Readily demonstrable savings
- Focus on new cutting-edge technologies and new
markets - Strong new product pipelines despite RD
spending at only 10 - Focus on integrated solutions
- Vertical and horizontal integration
- Information technology advances
- Intelligent device management and Electronic
Medical Records (EMR) - Continued consolidation
6The European medtech industry remains fragmented
- The industry is consolidating
- Despite recent MA activity, the European market
remains fragmented - the ten largest companies
together control 33 of the market - Leverage on resources and economy of scale
- Transition from equipment deliveries to total
solution providers

7Consolidation vs. Fragmentation
Factors Spurring
- Fragmentation
- Diversity of medtech market
- Small companies at the forefront of innovation
- Synergies in product development are scarce
- Distribution is highly specialized
- Technological changes
- Specialization and changes in clinical practice
- Consolidation
- Globalization of markets
- Increasing demand for one partner solutions
- Increasing RD cost and risk
- Product bundling opportunities
- Regulatory matters and reimbursement coverage
- Often rewarded by thestock market
8Rationale for medtech consolidation
- 1. Bolt-on acquisitions
- Improvement in distribution and technology
- Often represent the most attractive corporate
development for medical device companies - Elekta/IMPAC, Roche/Disetronic, Synthes/Spine
Solutions, Straumann/Biora - 2. Consolidation within industry niche
- Cost reduction and larger scale
- Risk of revenue losses from sales force
integration - Improved ability to fund RD
- JJ/Guidant, Synthes/Mathys, Zimmer/Centerpulse,
Sorin/Carbomedics
9Rationale for medtech consolidationcont.
- 3. Business expansion
- Increasing growth opportunities / risk reduction
- Rare amongst pure play European companies
- Limited direct impact on distribution or product
portfolio enhancement - GE/Amersham, Getinge/Siemens LSS, Elekta/Philips
Radiotherapy - 4. Vertical integration
- Expanding from products to services
- Particularly relevant for dialysis and hearing
aid market in Europe - William Demant/Avada, Fresenius
10Medtech consolidation some pros and cons for
providers and patients
- Cons
- Less customer choice
- Vendor dependency and loss of bargainingpower
- Slower technology change and innovation
- Higher price due to monopolistic markets
- Lack of customer focus and corporate flexibility
- Pros
- Lower costs transferred to customers
- Expansion of RD investments
- Improvements in customer service
- Corporate sustainability- long-term partnership
- Simplified purchase and logistics
11Case study Elektas role in cancer management
- Cancer is the second most common cause of death
after cardio-vascular disease
- Higher age and better diagnostics leads to an
increased number of cancer cases - gt 10 million cases worldwide diagnosed every
year - estimated to increase to gt15 million by
2020 - 24 of all patients with malignant cancer
develop brain metastases

Institute
12Elektas strategy in cancer management Focus on
radiation therapy
- Approx. 50 of patients diagnosed with cancer
needs radiation therapy - Increased rate of tumor control through new,
advanced methods - Highly cost-effective compared with surgery and
chemotherapy - Less traumatic for the patient compared to
alternatives - Small share of costs high share of treatments
- Only 5-10 of total cancer care costs
13How to improve cancer care in a fragmented care
environment?
- Organizationally scattered too many
independent cancer care providers - Highly complex care process with large number of
inter-dependencies - Need for increased use of IT for improved
work-flow and productivity - Higher clinical effectiveness needed through
integration - How to accomplish?
14Elektas response to the need of improved cancer
care
- Development of new technology
- Acquisition of Philips Radiotherapy in 1997 to
provide an industrial platform - High level of RD investments (e. g.
introduction of IGRT) - Integration with diagnostics
- Acquisition of Neuromag in 2003 to introduce
functional brain imaging for Leksell Gamma Knife - Development of common industry standards and
interfaces - Development of the clinical process and IT
support - Acquisition of IMPAC Medical Systems Inc. in 2005
- Open connectivity and workflow improvements
15Elektas response to the need of improved cancer
care, cont.
- Customer collaborations and joint improvements
- Funding of clinical research, e.g. epilepsy and
pain management - Development of Elekta Synergy and new technology
for stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) - Sharing of know-how and best practice
- Extensive user training and service
- Leksell Gamma Knife Society
- Elekta Synergy Consortium
- IMRT Consortium
- Support cancer management expansion in developing
countries
16Customer benefits of Elektas consolidation

Operations Setup
Patient Treatment
- Increased use of IT
- Today, US hospitals typically dedicate about 2
of their annual budgets to IT, far less than
many other industries
24A new strategy for therapy management based on
- Shift in customer purchase behavior
- Purchase decisions based on treatment
efficiency, not technology - Customer focus on core activities
- Demand for solutions with lower costs,
flexibility and high up-time - Increasing complexity in therapy
- Therapy becoming complex and specialized
- More difficult for health care institutions to
allocate sufficient internal competence - Partnering as a business management model
- Partnering and strategic outsourcing becoming a
basic management principle - Full responsibility for a substantial part of the
value chain - A mind set to see companies as a partner rather
than just a supplier of hard ware and software
products
25The healthcare challenge supply vs. cost vs.
quality of care!
- Increased demand and rising costs spurred by
- Demographics
- Education and diagnosis
- New treatment alternatives
- Demand tends to outgrow supply
- Health care expenditure as percentage of GDP
grows when standard of living increases
26Healthcare cost is increasing its share of GDP
