We are pleased to share some video snippets of the M&A Club that took place in February 2024 including a short 🎤 interview with the guest speakers Christian Diehl and Lukas G., who were two of the key architects of the Sandoz strategic review and successful spin off to the Swiss Stock Exchange. This was a landmark transaction not just due to its size and complexity, but also as it allowed Novartis to complete its transformation to a pure-play innovative #medicines company and at the same time created an independent Sandoz that is already a global leader in the generics and biosimilar sector. #mergersandacquisitions #transformation

We're witnessing a notable shift in M&A strategies across the industry due to external factors and internal goal realignments. The trend toward smaller, more strategic acquisitions reflects a growing focus on expanding portfolios while maximizing value and minimizing risk. This shift isn't just about cost – it's a deliberate effort to strengthen pipelines with late-stage drugs carrying significant promise. By targeting acquisitions that align closely with existing therapeutic areas and expertise, companies are better positioned to drive impactful innovation, streamline integration, and ultimately, deliver more value to patients. These strategic moves underscore a critical industry-wide recognition: success isn't solely defined by the size of the deal but by its potential value to enhance and accelerate the development of treatments that genuinely make a difference. https://lnkd.in/eCpiJKx2

M&A activity witnessed a notable decline in the past week, with deal volume and value decreasing by 8% and 60% respectively. This downturn signifies a continuation of the downward trend observed for two consecutive weeks in March. A similar trend was evident in February, with a less pronounced impact.   The top 5 deals of the week highlight that while values fluctuate, certain sectors remain resilient. Pharmaceutical acquisitions ranked high, with AstraZeneca's USD 2.41 billion purchase of Fusion Pharmaceuticals and Lonza Group's USD 1.20 billion acquisition of a Genentech facility.   Despite broader economic concerns, these deals signal that M&A momentum remains strong across healthcare, biotech, and technology.   What factors might drive the next upswing? As IMAA tracks global M&A deals, we'll keep monitoring key trends - and highlighting the meaningful narratives behind each statistic.   Share your perspectives below to receive access to our full reports on monthly Global M&A Deals!   Source: Institute for Mergers, Acquisitions and Alliances (IMAA)   #valuation #transactionmonitoring #mergersandacquisitions

The JPMorgan Healthcare Conference is all about deals; this year was no different. However, research shows operationalizing mergers & acquisitions can be just as important as conception, with half of deals failing their targets due to integration management missteps. To solve this issue, I am honored to have convened at my annual integration conclave at JPM the 15 execution stars of the global biopharmaceutical buyers. We tackled new tactics and some increasing risks such as data transfer - often under-appreciated especially in deceptively "simple" R&D integrations. Each deal is different, but certain preparations can significantly increase deal reliability and decrease organization burden. And this helps us reach our ultimate goal - bringing medicines to patients faster! Let's discuss if you want to know more. #jpm2024 #jpm #mergersandacquisitions #deals #acquisitions #integration #biopharma #biopharmaceuticals #integrationmanagement #alliances #alliancemanagement #researchanddevelopment #researchinnovation #innovationinhealthcare
