Panorama of the French Life Sciences Industry c 2012

Editorial

Andr Choulika
President of France Biotech, Chairman and CEO of Cellectis

he Life Sciences sector has today become a market reality, representing a reservoir of innovation and growth. Indeed, it is difficult to fully envision the scope of impact that the Life Sciences will bring to our lives over the next 20 years. In France, despite the crisis, this industry has progressed significantly over the past 15 years and has reached a stage of maturity that is reflected in the results of our study. France Biotech has been at the forefront of this emergence of Life Sciences in France, supporting the growth of an industry that includes biotech, medtech and cleantech companies. By way of our many constructive proposals and recommendations delivered to the government, we have helped generate a dynamic sector in which research and development are the driving forces of economic growth and, as a consequence, of exports.

large pharmaceutical company in many measures, with the additional capacity for developing disruptive technologies and taking risks. The narrow prism through which our public authorities and industry leaders see our young innovative companies taints the development of our leaders of tomorrow. Small and mid-size enterprises (PMEs) are still only seen as a supplier or sub-contractor for a large group. It is time to recognize the huge potential that resides in our small innovative companies. It is time to put in place the necessary legislative measures to further encourage their growth. Jobs, exports and economic growth will follow and the benefit will be collective.

Finally, I would strongly warn our leaders of the danger posed by Frances tendency to clip successful programs and sprinkle populist measures into legislature. Such actions risk immobilizing the The Life Sciences industry in economy and can induce deFrance distinguishes itself by cline.

Methodology
Part of the analysis presented in this study is based on data collected from French Life Sciences companies via a secure online survey platform. In order to take part in the survey, a company must meet the following three criteria: l Be active in the Life Sciences industry in France l Allocate at least 15% of total expenses to Research and Development l Have less than 250 employees While the Life Sciences sector in France has for many years been dominated by Petite et Moyenne Entreprises , this year saw the inclusion of three companies that recently graduated from Petite et Moyenne Entreprises status to Entreprises de Taille Intermdiaire status. The threshold of R&D investment remains at 15% of total expenses, the same level required to gain eligibility for the Young Innovative Enterprise (JEI) status in France. Similar to the 2011 iteration, this years survey placed an added emphasis on the incorporation of a representative sample of Medtech and Cleantech companies. The results of the survey have been published in aggregate in order to respect the confidentiality of respondents. The conventional definition of Biotechnology adopted by the OECD is The application of science and technology to living organisms, as well as parts, products and models thereof, to alter living or non-living materials for the production of knowledge, goods and services. 192 companies declaring activities in the Life Sciences participated in the electronic survey administered via Sphinx software from February 14 to April 15 2013. Responses from 186 companies were retained for analysis and inclusion in the Panorama. Financial data and information regarding public policy programs were compiled by France Biotech staff members using public resources and third-party databases.

Ile-de-France continues to have the highest concentration of Life Sciences companies in France, as almost a third of the companies responding to the survey are headquartered in the region. The Rhne-Alpes region retains its position as the second largest center of activity in France. This years sample was distinguished by strong Life Sciences representation in the southern regions of PACA, Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrnes. Most importantly, a healthy distribution of company implantation across the country is confirmed by the survey respondents. The presence of the BioPole competitivity clusters continues to encourage regional diversity.

FRANCE: BIOTECH AND MEDTECH ACTIVITY

Our analysis shows that companies in the Life Sciences sector remain, for the most part, small structures that originate from academic research and employ highly educated workers. Despite the recently stormy economic environment in Europe, the industry demonstrated its versatility in 2012 by reversing the negative trend of net company creation, while the majority of survey respondents ( 58%) reported a positive outlook and no difficulties posed by structural issues. Activities in this sector are mainly focused on developing therapeutic, diagnostic and medical device products in the domain of human health, but in recent years Cleantech companies have continued to grow in number and size. The pipeline of therapeutic product development remains robust with almost 190 programs in the proof of concept or preclinical phase of development and 32 products in the midst of Phase II trials.

The majority of French Life Sciences companies come out of the Academic sector, followed closely by small business entrepreneurs, while only 4% of the panel originated as a spin-off from a big company. This years respondents present a healthy distribution in terms of company age, showing a roughly even split between start-up stage, growth phase and developed companies. The profile of the CEOs in our survey further demonstrates the vitality and resilience of the entrepreneurial spirit in this sector: 41% of CEOs have been the CEO of another company 77% of CEOs are founders of their company 74% of CEOs are scientists by training

After struggling to create new companies in 2011, the Life Sciences sector showed its dynamism in 2012 by generating a net creation of 35 companies. This trend coincides with ongoing robust activity in Mergers and Acquisitions and confirms the fundamental strength of innovation in the Life Sciences in France today.

Mergers and Acquisitions 2012 was marked by the announcements in December of two major acquisitions in the French Life Sciences sector. The diagnostics company Exonhit purchased InGen Biosciences (19 M), creating a new fully integrated leader in the field of in-vitro diagnostics by the name of Diaxonhit. This was followed by the biopharmaceutical company Vivalis purchase of Austrian firm Intercell (133 M), which created a new biotech leader in vaccines and antibodies by the name of Valneva SE. Other M&A activity included the purchase of Eclat Pharmaceuticals by Flamel Technologies, the acquisition of biotechnology firm Prestizia by theranostics company Theradiag and the acquisition of R&D firm Cerep by Eurofins Discovery Services.

Philippe Pouletty, MD
Co-Founder, CEO and Head of Life Sciences at Truffle Capital Honorary President of France Biotech

We need to launch new projects more quickly

he situation is improving but the sector needs to continue to grow, particularly in terms of publicly traded companies. There are three challenges to address: internationalization, the speed of technology transfer and the availability of financing. France lacks experts in all three areas and needs specialists that are capable of measuring the true value of an idea and relating it to the current industry landscape. We need to launch new projects more quickly while remaining patient for them to bear fruit. Financing is the key. Institutional investors are too reluctant right now and the venture capitalists active in the Life Sciences number far too few.

Its important to have Life Sciences entrepreneurs, but having a stable of partners to accompany them through each phase of financing, from seed to expansion, is also essential. Management errors are as expensive as financial resources are rare; companies need to develop a long term vision from the very beginning. Projects run by a management team with deep expertise in diverse fields and an ability to shrewdly value their intellectual property will have the best chance for success. More than anything the management team needs to be able to credibly respond to this question: in what way are we going to change patients lives? Philippe Pouletty

Partnerships and strategic alliances continue to play an important role in the French Life Sciences industry. 58% of this years survey respondents reported having one or more partnership in place and over 400 total partnerships were declared. The foundational role played by the French academy in the Life Sciences sector shows up again in this domain, as nearly half (46%) of reported partnerships were constituted with academic research institutes (including CNRS, INSERM, Institut Pasteur, Institut Curie and APHP). These relationships are very international in nature, as nearly a third of partners are non-French organizations. Furthermore, 1 out of every 5 French Life Sciences companies with a partnership has developed an accord with a global Big Pharma company (including Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Servier, TEVA, Eli Lilly and Bristol-Myers Squibb), showing that the connections with the pharmaceutical industry remain quite strong.

Philippe Goupit
Vice President Corporate Licenses, Strategy & Business Development Sanofi

Despite our size, we need partners to confront our viewpoints

he conditions that remain untreatable are the most difficult to conquer, but the diversity of intuitive ideas and approaches currently being pursued strengthens our chances to make impactful advances. As a major actor in the research community, Sanofi has a strong interest in placing its development teams in an ecosystem of lively research. Despite our size, we need partners to confront our viewpoints and to help recalibrate our perspective and reflections. It is for this reason that we are in constant contact with Biotech and Medtech companies, both at the entrepreneur and investor level. This is particularly true in France, where half

of our research teams are located. Sanofi offers its industrial knowledge and global market access in partnership situations, and in return we receive an important component of creativity and flexibility from Life Sciences start-up companies. In a partnership, what is most important is to cross paths often and to work together and get to know one another well from the very beginning. To really build something, it is important to first confirm that the partners share the same understanding of project objectives and timeline, which allows the collaborators to effectively benchmark their scientific journey together.

The intellectual property activities of French Life Science companies continue to be very international in nature, as 40% of exploited patents were granted either by the United States Patent Office or a non-European patent office (Figure 12). Even more telling is the fact that 63% of patent applications were filed with a non-European patent office (Figure 10). Employing 24 people and having been in business for almost 10 years, companies exploiting patents are generally slightly older and larger than the average for all survey respondents (22 employees and 9 years old). This years responses regarding patent activity are consistent with historical trends; French Life Sciences companies tend to broaden their intellectual property goals as they develop and operate over a longer period of time.

Malys Ferrere
Director of Investments Fonds Stratgique dInvestissement bpifrance

Our experts are present all over the country working to guide entrepreneurs

uilding a robust network of Life Sciences companies is a priority for France. The mechanisms of support for the sector are in place to develop the potential value of ideas generated by French researchers and our mission at bpifrance is to provide a type of lever that will efficiently promote the industrial champions of tomorrow. Direct aid to innovation is what is needed first of all, through subsidies, cash advances and interest-free loans. Then we must maintain the program of tax supports that is in place, specifically the Research Tax Credit (CIR) and the Young Innovative Enterprise (JEI) designation. Finally, we need to bolster the equity investments that accompany entrepreneurs through each stage of their project. The Biotech and Medtech teams at bpifrance manage a complete portfolio

of direct and indirect financing vehicles that support companies at every step of their development, from seed stage to maturity. Our teams and experts are present all over the country working to guide entrepreneurs in their efforts to put a structure around their innovations. Once we have made an investment, a financial advisor and a subject matter expert from bpifrance join the board of directors of the company and begin working to develop long-term value. Even if today bpifrance is invested in only 18 Petites et Moyennes Entreprises, we remain attentive to the risk of destabilizing the private investor market. Like our peers in the private sector, who are also often our partners, we favor projects with strong industrial relevance and professional management teams. Malys Ferrere

Comparing the R&D investments made by two French Pharmaceutical companies with those of 59 Biotechnology companies from the Panorama survey demonstrates the efficiency of the Life Sciences sector in France. With less Research and Development spending, these dynamic Life Sciences companies in France are able to bring more products into the clinical trial phase than their Pharmaceutical industry peers. The disparities seen in this chart help explain the strong recent growth in the number of newly approved medications that originate from the domain of biotechnology.

FRANCE: FINANCING INNOVATION

In recent years, financial support for the Life Sciences sector in France has originated primarily from public sources, be they public stock markets or government programs. IPO activity by Life Sciences companies reached its highest level ever in 2012, with records being broken both in terms of the number of IPOs completed and the total amount raised. Entrepreneurs also continue to depend heavily on the many government programs that support young, innovative companies with activities focused on Research and Development in advanced scientific fields.

Entrepreneurial teams are more experienced and international today and they often combine a mix of scientific talent from many different countries. At the same time, investor groups no longer focus their investments exclusively on one country and having a local investor at the table has become less of a necessity. This European convergence is seen in public fiscal policy as well, with examples like the Research Tax Credit passed by the French government inspiring others in Europe to enact similar measures, notably the

United Kingdom and Germany. The sharing of competencies among European regulatory agencies has finally succeeded in providing a transnational perspective and we are beginning to see a European specialty in certain domains of research, such as Medical Devices. The industry is European but so is the crisis ! You have to fight to see your project grow, and that is true everywhere in Europe. Nonetheless, the secret for success is true everywhere: entrepreneurs need to be ambitious and confident and they need to find investors that share their vision. Taking the time to decide how to create and share the value of an idea is vitally important. Rafale Tordjman

Investments by venture capital funds increased in 2012 to 138 M, against 121 M in 2011. A total of 41 deals were observed, compared with 38 in 2011, while the average amount invested per deal grew from 3,2 M in 2011 to 3,5 M in 2012. Allocation of investments by funding round was well distributed, with Series B financings leading the way at 49 M, followed by Series C financings of 34 M, Series A financings of 26 M and Series D financings of 10 M. This distribution compares favorably with 2011, when over 54% of VC euros were allotted during Series C rounds. Investments in Biotechnology companies led the expansion in funding (+68%) and helped compensate for a drop in Medtech deals (-23%). Two large rounds in 2012 included a 13 M Series B financing by Poxell S.A. and a 12,4 M Series C financing by TxCell S.A. A very strong start to 2013 has been underway as well, with a 32 M Series A financing by GenSight Biologics and a 28 M Series D financing by Supersonic Imagine both being announced in April.

Corporate Venture Corporate Venture investments made by Pharmaceutical companies play an important role in supporting this innovative sector. Mrieux Development continued to support the development of Lyon-based medtech company Biomup and Strasbourg-based diagnostics firm BioFilm Control, while Novartis Venture took part in the Series A round of ophthalmic therapeutics company Gensight Biologics and Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund recently announced plans to invest in ocular therapeutics firm Eyevensys.

Other forms of financing Seed financing remains a crucial component to the early stages of the business development cycle in the Life Sciences sector. Seed funding by French Business Angels was stable in 2012 in comparison with 2011, amounting to just over 5 M during both years. Also in 2012, French Life Sciences companies were among the early adopters of crowdfunding, a new, internet-community-based fundraising concept that has become one of the hottest trends for financing innovation around the world. In October, Toulouse-based biotech company ANTABIO recorded what has been described as the first crowdfunding operation ever completed by a biotech company.

FRANCE: FINANCING INNOVATION

Government Support
CIR The research tax credit (CIR) is a tax reduction designed to encourage the R&D activities of French companies. 81 companies in this years study reported taking advantage of the research tax credit for a total benefit of almost 68 M. 52% of companies drawing on the research tax credit have 1 to 10 employees and 68% have been in operation for less than 10 years, showing that this important program continues to benefit small, young and innovative companies. These 81 companies receiving the research tax credit together account for 19 products in Phase II clinical trials, 6 products in Phase III clinical trials and 16 products entering commercialization.

JEI The Young Innovative Company (JEI) status, developed by the Strategic Council for Innovation and supported by France Biotech in 2004, provides a number of tax and social security exemptions for PMEs that allocate at least 15% of their total costs to research and development. 160 companies employing 980 total workers in the Research and Development in Biotechnology sector benefited from the JEI status in 2010, according to the 2012 DGCIS report valuation du dispositif JEI. 50% of companies in this years study reported having opted for the JEI status. Furthermore, all 13 of the companies in this years cohort that were created in 2011 or 2012 declared having applied for the status. The JEI status remains a crucial support for entrepreneurs in the Life Sciences sector.

Expert testimony

Paul-Franois Fournier
EVP Innovation Division bpifrance

Life Sciences is one of three major strategic sectors of focus

ndustries of the future like Biotechnology and Medical Research, as well as Renewable Energy and High-Tech, will be the priority of bpifrance, while Micro-enterprises (TPE), Small and Medium Enterprises (PME) and Intermediate Size Enterprises (ETI) will be the target structure of the companies that we will seek to support. Life Sciences is one of three major strategic sectors of focus that has historically seen strong support from the organizations that make up bpifrance. The integration of FSI, OSEO and CDC Enterprises allows bpifrance to offer companies a wide diversity of financial support options and gives us the capa-

bility to intervene on both the cash and equity positions of companies to support their development.
25

The structure of the financing chain is a constant concern of the Fund of Funds team. bpifrance will contribute to the launch of new investment teams, provided they are experienced, credible and are focused on subjects that are inadequately or not at all covered by the current market. Indeed we are planning to participate in fundraisings for several new Life Sciences funds this year, as three dossiers are under close examination at the moment. Paul-Franois Fournier

Focus on French publicly quoted companies in Life Sciences

In 2012, there were 36 French Life Sciences companies listed on public stock exchanges. Most are listed in Paris on either the NYSE Euronext or Alternext exchanges, while one company, Flamel Technologies, is listed on the US NASDAQ. In 2012, these 36 publicly-listed companies combined to employ 3 663 employees, invest 302 M in R&D and generate 583 M in revenues (+9% from 2011). The collective market capitalization of these companies on May 15, 2013 was nearly 4,1 B. Vexim, a MedTech company based near Toulouse working on treatments for traumatic spinal pathologies, won the 2012 NYSE Alternext Prize for the success of its IPO in April and for the strong performance of the stock that ensued. Carmat, an Ile-de-France area company that recently gained approval to conduct human clinical trials of its artificial heart, continues to hold the highest market capitalization (over 525 M on May 21, 2013) among the more than 200 total companies listed on the NYSE Alternext stock exchange. Both of these companies were financed by Truffle Capital, which was the most active venture fund supporting French PMEs in 2012 according to the "Indicateur Chausson Finance."

Globally speaking, France is holding pace in the innovation race

W
30

ith over 30 publicly quoted Life Sciences companies, it is clear that a legitimate network of mature Biotech and Medtech companies exists today in France. The sector has progressed rapidly in France over the last 4 or 5 years, while growth in most other European countries has leveled off. Support from fiscal policy (CIR) has been a strong driver, but so has the high quality of scientific education in this country. Globally speaking, France is holding pace in the innovation race and maintains a real potential for developing disruptive technologies in a variety of fields, such as medical imagery, spinal therapeutics and immunotherapy. The contrast with the United States remains significant in regard to one essential point: critical mass. Publicly traded French Life Sciences companies typically employ 15 to 30

mostly R&D workers and are focused primarily on the development of one flagship product to be promoted by way of a partnership with a larger industrial company. This model has made it somewhat unrealistic for a company to remain independent while growing to the size of an industry leader and the unfavorable economic and regulatory environments have compounded the challenge. To attain critical mass, a strategy of external growth needs to take over and accelerate the development of our most promising projects. In parallel with this, talented individuals with commercial and financial backgrounds need to be ready to accompany these future industry leaders as they grow and mature. Indeed, the events of 2012 in France and Europe showed that a new approach like this can be successful. Cdric Moreau

According to the Dow Jones Venture Source database, equity investments in VC-backed European Life Sciences companies dropped by 28% in 2012, from 1.3B invested via 244 deals in 2011 to 950M invested via 175 deals in 2012. This drop was driven by a 50% year-on-year decline in Euros invested in Medical Devices and Equipment companies. Investments made in Second Round and Later Round financings in Europe were relatively stable, while total Euros allocated to First Round financings in 2012 dropped 22% compared to 2011 levels. Equity financing of venture-funded companies varies drastically from year to year in many countries in Europe. Although levels of financing in France in 2011 and 2012 were below the 5-year average, venture capital investing in France compares favorably with European peer countries.

About France Biotech

France Biotech is the association of French companies in the Life Sciences sector and their partners. Its mission is to contribute to domestic growth in this innovative industry and to support Frances leadership role within the European Life Sciences community. More specifically, France Biotech acts as an engine of change by interacting with the government, economic organizations, academic institutions, the media and the investor community to ensure the prioritization of the Life Sciences sector in France and the improvement of the economic, legal, regulatory and managerial environments for this important industry. Created in 1997, France Biotech unites the leaders of innovative Life Sciences companies with their partners in the investment, legal and academic fields. Members come from all over France and represent each field of the Life Sciences (biotechnology, medical technology, clean/green technology). Under the banner of France Biotech, these industry leaders fight to create a new model of entrepreneurship in France and to support the creation of companies and jobs in this innovative sector. Led by Andr Choulika since 2009, France Biotech continues to solicit public powers, economic decision makers and the media on behalf of actors in the French Life Sciences.

Panorama Study
Since 2002, France Biotech has conducted the Panorama of the Life Sciences Industry in France, a unique study that provides an annual update on the growth and dynamism of this innovative sector in France. The results of this study allow France Biotech to ground its proposals to the government in hard facts and to effectively represent the entire industry. The Panorama analyses data from independent companies allocating at least 15% of total spending to Research and Development costs. France Biotech surveyed more than 400 companies via a secure online questionnaire and has analyzed the data provided from 186 of the 192 total responses. The results of this survey will remain the property of France Biotech.
