Healthcare Focus ISSUE 9 VOLUME 1 Fall 2 DRESNER PARTNERS INVESTMENT BANKING Pharmaceuticals Trends in Capital Flows into Healthcare Since the start of the recession (in December 27, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research), most of us have been subjected to the sustained anguish of having to see the familiar graphic representing the rise from 23 to a peak in 27, followed by a plunge thereafter. In most cases, the curve represents the broader market across all industry sectors and is tracked in the hope that it begins to show a durable upward trend. In this issue of Healthcare Focus, we intend no such anguish, and instead, provide a perspective from the standpoint of transaction activity (and corresponding capital flows) into specific subsectors of healthcare, with the goal of identifying trends that may continue to develop as result of momentum (i.e. subsectors that are likely to show continued growth). We have focused on transaction volume for private equity funds, strategic buyers and venture funds, and review the number of transactions and proportional volume for each source in order to understand where the pendulum currently is and which way it may be expected to swing (against the backdrop of continued reimbursement uncertainty and the phased implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act). Private Equity Funds Overall transaction activity is up sharply after falling more than 4% from 27 to 29 2 is 165% higher than the same period in 29 and annualized 2 is 65% higher than 29 (almost as high as 27). The largest growth since 27 has been in facility-based healthcare (both inpatient and outpatient); this is a reversal of the trend leading up to the peak in 27 when private equity investment into facilities showed a flat-to-declining trend.

. INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS Trends in Capital Flows into Healthcare (cont.) Facilities related transactions for 2 represent 42% of healthcare M&A volume, compared to only 17% in 27. Private equity traditionally has gravitated toward non-facility healthcare services (with the exception of 21 and 26), and while there are signs of growth, this subsector is only 24% of the total investment (by number of deals) so far in 2 compared to 32% in 27. Private equity investment into healthcare equipment and supplies appears to be declining. As the second-largest source of capital after strategic buyers, private equity transaction volume as a percentage of the combined private equity and strategic buyer volume has varied from a low of 6.5% in 29 to a high of 11.2% in 27, with private equity accounting for only 7.1% of volume so far 2, showing an improving trend though still below the 23 to 27 period. We expect that due to a high level of uninvested capital, depressed real estate values, continued vagaries of the senior debt market, and a repositioning of the facility based delivery model (partly as a result of healthcare reform), we expect private equity investment into facility based care, particularly senior living, post-acute and transitional care, rehabilitation, and behavioral health to continue to show a rising trend in the short term. However, we expect that in the mid term, this will give way to a rising trend in private equity flows into businesses and subsectors that introduce connectivity, efficiency and cost reduction in the healthcare delivery model, as well as outsourced services with indirect reimbursement risk. Technology enabled opportunities will be of the greatest interest. Strategic Buyers Overall transaction activity for strategic buyers declined approximately 19% from 27 to 29, but, like private equity, it is up considerably so far in 2 2 is 33% higher than the same period in 29 and is 17% (annualized) higher than 29 (just below 27). In contrast to private equity, transaction activity in most subsectors has not shown any dramatic trend since 27, with only non-facility based services showing a shallow rise in the proportion of total strategic transaction activity. The drop in the proportion of private equity transaction activity in 27 from 11.2% of the combined private equity and strategic activity to 9.1% in 28 and then to 6.5% in 29 signaled an acceleration in strategic buyer activity during that period. However, with private equity activity at 7.1% ( 2), this trend appears to be reversing and the growth in strategic buyer activity relative to private equity again appears to be slowing as it did in the 2 to 27 period. With the larger strategic buyers as awash in uninvested cash as private equity investors, we expect that strategic buyers will have an edge over private equity investors for the most desirable opportunities because of both potential synergies and their ability (and willingness) to pay higher multiples. The frustration faced by strategic buyers in the 26 27 period against private equity investors enjoying the abundance of cheap debt is unlikely to be repeated in the near tem. Strategic Buyer Activity by Sector # of Deals 1,2 1, 8 6 4 2 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 9 % 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% % % 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 9 We expect transaction activity in all subsectors to increase sharply and proportionally. The highest growth/activity levels are likely to be in subsectors where there are significant consolidation opportunities such as: home health and hospice, retail and institutional pharmacies, outpatient rehabilitation, diagnostic laboratories and imaging. Another trend that is emerging in the strategic buyer class is vertical integration, partly driven by depressed multiples and desire for control over critical technologies.

. INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS Trends in Capital Flows into Healthcare (cont.) Venture Investors The most dramatic drop in transaction volume was in the venture class volume dropped over 7% from 27 to 29. While there are signs of recovery, volume is unlikely to show a robust recovery, partly due to a weak IPO market that continues to impact exit strategies. In contrast to private equity funds, venture funds are facing a dramatic decline in capital commitments from traditional capital sources that were actively investing in alternative investment vehicles in 26 27. A consequence of this is a shift in the proportion of venture capital to later-stage investments, with more than 5% of funding going into C+ rounds 1. Additionally, since 26, there has been a steady shift of VC funding into medical devices, with a corresponding decline in the proportion of funding going into biotechnology. We are also seeing a rising trend in the participation of notable research institutions in the funding of early stage ventures. Healthcare venture activity is likely to remain tepid in the near future. The concentration of sources of venture capital funding in a handful of states 75% is in California, Massachusetts, Washington and Georgia as well as a challenging FDA approval process, adds to the uncertainty of future healthcare venture capital transaction activity. # of Deals 45 4 35 3 25 2 15 5 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 9 45% Venture Capital Buyer Activity by Sector % 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% % % 1-Year Stock Returns by Sector 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 9 3% 31% 24% 23% 2% 18% 15% % % 7% 7% 5% 3% 1% 1% (2%) (2%) (%) (13%) (14%) (15%) (19%) (23%) (23%) (25%) OBH MC IBH R RT/I DME 5 OBS IT MSS DP CRS DS CL (15%) (3%) PT AL SN DPM DI ASC HH MM 5 - S&P 5 DI - Diagnostic Imaging HH - Home Health MSS - Medical & Surgical Supplies RT/I - RT/Infusion AL - Assisted Living DME - Durable Medical Equipment IBH - Inpatient Behavioral Health OBH - Other Behavioral Health SN - Skilled Nursing ASC - Ambulatory Surgery Centers DP - Diagnostic Products IT - Healthcare IT OBS - Outsourced Business Services CL - Clinical Labs DPM - Dental Practice Mgmt MC - Managed Care PT - Physical Therapy Source: Capital IQ CRS - Clinical Research Services DS - Dental Supplies MM - Medical Management R - Renal Data as of 9/27/ 1 Source: Source: CB Insights, Q2 2 Venture Capital Activity Report.
