The total deal value of the top 10 announced deals in Q1-Q3 surpassed the $100 billion mark. A CAGR of 12.6% to 2022 is forecasted for oncology prescription sales, driving interest in these assets as demonstrated by three oncology deals in the top 10. Again, US and China clearly dominate as the most active countries in life sciences M&A.

ONCOLOGY: IMMUNOTHERAPYThe global oncology market is expected to grow by 12.6% per year, reaching sales of $192 billion by 2022, representing nearly 20% of the total prescription drug sales volume. An aging population is expected to lead to growing cancer incidence. Rising healthcare costs and increasing R&D expenses drive changes in the oncology paradigm. The recent KPMG publication The future of oncology – a focused approach to winning in 2030 envisages an end to the ‘one-size-fits-all’ therapy, and with it the blockbuster model. The age of personalized medicine is no doubt one of the greatest trends to provide substantial patient and payer benefit for a generation.

Gilead Sciences, Inc. announced the $11.9 billion acquisition of Kite Pharma, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in 2009 in the emerging field of cell therapy. Kite‘s most advanced therapy candidate, axi-cel, a chimeric antigen receptor t-cell (CAR-T) therapy is under priority review by the U.S. FDA. Approval is expected in the United States in Q4 2017 and in Europe in 2018. With near-term product opportunities and a strong pipeline, Gilead’s aim is to strengthen its position in oncology. The deal was announced two days prior to the first ever CAR-T FDA approval given to Novartis AG’s Kymriah.

Merck & Co., Inc. announced the acquisition of Rigontec GmbH with $137 million upfront payments and contingent payments of up to $416 million. The acquisition strengthens Merck’s immuno-oncology portfolio. Rigontec focusses on a part of the innate immune system to induce immediate and long-term anti-tumor immunity. Rigontec was founded in 2014 as a spin-out from the University of Bonn and has already raised more than €29 million through a recent Series A financing round from a consortium of investors including Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund, Forbion Capital Partners, High-Tech Gründerfonds, MP Healthcare Venture Management, NRW.BANK, Sunstone Capital and Wellington Partners Life Sciences.

Bristol-Myers-Squibb Co. (BMS) announced the acquisition of IFM Therapeutics LLC, a biotech company focussing on the development of immunotherapies to treat cancer, autoimmunity and inflammatory disorders. The transaction will give BMS full rights to IFM’s preclinical agonist programs STING and NLRP3. The deal consists of $0.3 billion upfront payments and potential milestone payments up to $1.0 billion.

BMS intends to collaborate with Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc., obtaining the license to use Halozyme’s ENHANZE drug-delivery technology for the development of their immuno-oncology medicines. The technology allows a faster delivery of large volume injectable medications and eliminates restrictions on the volume of biologics that can be delivered subcutaneously.

GERMAN LS COMPANIES ON EXPANSION TRAILFresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, part of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, announced the $2.0 billion acquisition of NxStage Medical, Inc., a US supplier of dialysis devices and products for home care and critical care. NxStage will add 3,400 employees to Fresenius‘ portfolio with sales of approximately $366 million, of which approximately 57% is generated in the home care segment. Fresenius generates 72% of its sales in North America.

German drug discovery alliance and development partnership company Evotec AG completed the $0.3 billion acquisition of Aptuit LLC, a partner research organization for integrated outsourced drug discovery and development services. The transaction strengthens Evotec’s position as one of the leading players in the external innovation marketplace.

Financial investors eying German targets

The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has permitted exemption from the one-year-exclusion period for the submission of a revised takeover offer, allowing Bain Capital LP and Cinven Partners LLP to make a revised offer for

the acquisition of STADA Arzneimittel AG. This enabled Bain and Cinven to exceed the minimum acceptance threshold of 63%.

The shareholders of Biotest AG have approved the voluntary public tender offer by Tiancheng (Germany) Pharmaceutical Holdings AG. Tiancheng offered €28.50 per ordinary share and €19 per preference share, valuing the business at approximately $1 billion. Tiancheng is controlled by Chinese CREAT Group Corp., which is mainly engaged in equity investments. Biotest provides plasma proteins and biological drugs, specializing predominantly in the fields of clinical immunology, hematology and intensive medicine. CREAT, already a shareholder in Biotest’s peer Shanghai RAAS, has recently invested in Bio Products Laboratory Ltd., a British manufacturer of a wide range of plasma products.

CAPITAL INDEXReflecting the strong year to date performance of several life sciences players, such as AbbVie Inc. which has generated a return of more than 40% since the beginning of the year, the MSCI World Pharma, Biotech & Life Sciences Index has outperformed the MSCI World Index by more than two percentage points.

The number of announced deals remained fairly stable compared to the previous period. Chemical companies are focussing increasingly on the acquisitions of players in application industries. China expands its lead as the most active country in chemicals M&A ahead of the US.

INCREASING DEMAND IN APPLICATION INDUSTRIESBASF SE announced its acquisition of Solvay SA‘s global polyamide business for approximately $1.9 billion. The deal complements BASF‘s engineering plastics portfolio and expands the company‘s position in transportation, construction, industrial applications and consumer industries. This will enable BASF to strengthen its market position in Asia and South America. BASF intends to integrate the business into its performance materials and monomers divisions.

H.B. Fuller Co. (HB) announced the acquisition of Royal Adhesives & Sealants LLC for $1.6 billion. Royal is a leading manufacturer of high-value specialty adhesives and sealants, expected to generate approximately $0.7 billion in revenues and an 21% adjusted EBITDA margin in fiscal year 2017. Royal adds 19 manufacturing facilities in five countries with about 1,500 employees globally to the HB portfolio. Engineering and construction account for half of the company’s revenues, giving HB the opportunity to strengthen its market position in aerospace, automotive and construction markets. 97% of revenues are generated in North America and Europe, increasing HB’s geographic presence in these areas.

After PPG Industries, Inc.‘s persistent attempt to acquire Akzo Nobel N.V. and three rejected offers, Akzo is itself seeking to grow through acquisition. By announcing a double acquisition of U.K.-based Flexcrete Technologies Ltd. and Disatech SAS in July 2017, Akzo is further strengthening its industrial coatings, aerospace and automotive coatings businesses. Flexcrete markets its concrete repair and protection solutions in 65 countries worldwide, with more than 50% export sales, allowing Akzo to expand its range of services in numerous key industrial markets such as commercial infrastructure and chemical processing. The acquisition of French manufacturer Disatech, finalized in September 2017, will also contribute to a broader portfolio of coatings and films for the aerospace and transport sectors.

Further, Akzo has demonstrated its keen interest in driving innovation by initiating its Chemicals Startup Challenge “Imagine Chemistry”, powered by KPMG. Aiming to identify progressive startups that strategically fit into Akzo’s businesses, the challenge has selected ten winners, who will receive additional support enabling the realization of their ideas.

DOWDUPONT PLANTING SEEDS FOR GROWTHThe Q4 2015 announced $62.1 billion merger of equals between The Dow Chemical Co. and E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. has been completed successfully. The merged holding company DowDuPont which is to be organized in three divisions – Agriculture, Materials Science and Specialty Products – is targeting run-rate cost synergies of approximately $3 billion within the first 24 months of the merger closing. Potentially, further $1 billion in growth synergies are expected. The three divisions through tax-free spin-offs are intended to operate within their own legal entities. DowDuPont announced a realignment of businesses with forecast 2017 sales of $8 billion from the materials science division to the specialty products division.

Divestments resulting from the merger

Before the closing of the DowDuPont deal, FMC Corp. had announced the acquisition of DuPont’s crop protection business for $1.2 billion in cash and $425 million for working capital. DuPont also receives the health and nutrition business from FMC. These anti-trust driven divestments include the products Rynaxypyr and Cyazypyr, both covered by full patent protection, which are expected to generate revenues exceeding $1 billion in 2017. DuPont’s crop protection business will increase FMC’s presence in Asia and Europe and even out crop protection revenues throughout the four major regions, North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia.

Dow announced the divestment of a select portion of its corn seed business in Brazil to Chinese CITIC Agricultural Industry Fund Management Co., Ltd., for $1.1 billion. The transaction was intended to meet regulatory conditions imposed by Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense concerning the closing of the DowDuPont transaction.

DuPont’s digital solutions in agrochemicals

DuPont is pursuing further its digital farming ambitions by acquiring Granular, Inc., a leading provider of software and analytic tools to support farms improving efficiency, profitability and sustainability. The transaction includes Granular’s Farm Management Software, which collects and examines data on farm business processes as well as AcreValue, a digital platform for farmland real estate, enabling an integrated customer service.

CAPITAL INDEXBloomberg World Chemicals index outperformed the MSCI World Index by more than six percentage points. The agricultural chemicals subsector takes the lead in Q1-Q3 2017 with 24.8% growth, driven by FMC Corp. growth of 56.6%.
