2017 Outlook 43
Glossary 44
Biopharma has kept up with the accelerated pace of overall venture investing between 2013 and 2016.
However, crossover investors reduced private investments to focus on taking their portfolio companies
public.
The most active device and Dx/Tools investors grew more diverse - corporate venture, angel groups,
incubators and accelerators and private equity - all seeking to fill the void left by traditional healthcare
venture. Tech-focused VCs became very active in Dx/Tools.
Potential distributions declined in 2016 but exceeded 2013 totals. AbbVies $9.4 billion acquisition of
Stemcentryx dominated the 2016 total.
Biopharma IPOs, as predicted, declined more than 30 percent from 2015. M&A activity dipped slightly and
focused on early-stage deals.
IPOs for device companies reappeared in late 2016. Big exit M&A activity remained consistent, and
surprisingly orthopedics and ophthalmology were the top indications.
Dx/Tools companies continued to struggle to get to exit and had no IPO activity. Technology advancements
in bioinformatics have led to large investment bets, setting the stage for M&A in the coming years.

Seven of the top 20 investors are corporate. This underscores the continued support and influence of corporate venture in the
biopharma ecosystem. Each of the top venture investors has raised a new fund in the last two years. It is likely that this list will not
change substantially in 2017 as these top investors are quickly deploying new capital.
After dominating biopharma investing in 2015, crossover activity scaled down significantly in 2016. We discuss crossover investment
in biopharma later in this report.

Early-stage investment (series A and B) across all indications in biopharma represented more than 80 percent of deals in the last two
years. This has been driven by a recent increase in early stage exits.
Orphan/rare disease investments continue to rise in 2016, up from #5 in last years paper. This interest was driven in part due to time
and cost reduction for gaining FDA approval. In addition, there is typically extended market exclusivity and better commercial
economics. Aesthetics/dermatology was not in the top 10 for investments, but tied with oncology for the top M&A indication in 2016.

We observed that a number of tech-focused venture investors are pursuing technology advancements that can be leveraged to improve
healthcare. Dx/Tools, for example, uses big data and is in a prime position to take advantage of improved tools for bioinformatics.
Tech-focused firms like Data Collective, Felicis and AME Cloud Ventures have emerged as very active new Dx/Tools investors. Other
active investors included angel groups (Keiretsu Forum and Golden Seeds), corporate venture (Google Ventures, LabCorp, GE and
Illumina) and OUS firms (DeCheng, Invitalia).

Top 15 Crossover Investors:
Investments Decline as
Crossovers Focus on IPOs
Crossover deals in private venture-backed companies dropped more than 70 percent in 2016 as the IPO market slowed. Crossover
investors shifted focus from new investments to managing IPO expectations for still-private companies in their portfolios. A number
of those companies went public in 2016, but there remains a backlog of more than 80 companies.
A big question for private portfolio companies seeking additional private rounds: Will crossover investors provide equity support?
We expect to start learning the answers in Q2-Q3 2017.

Oncology saw the highest number of big exits since 2012, and 12 of 18 were early stage (pre-clinical or phase I).
Orphan/rare disease has attracted significant venture investment in recent years, and now we are seeing remarkably quick exits: 1.5
years from Series A equity raise. Six of 9 indications (highlighted above) have a median time to exit of 5 years or less.
The median equity round size in 2016 was substantially larger than the median total invested for exits during the 20122016 period.
This leads to a concern that the recent large round sizes may negatively affect future exit multiples.
Cardiovascular and oncology saw the largest milestone upside.

For a third year, early-stage (pre-clinical and phase I) biopharma IPOs continued strong, accounting for 46 percent of all 2016
biopharma IPOs. However, there was a significant decline from the first half of 2016 (10 of 18) compared with the second half (3 of 10).
The early-stage trend has been fueled by crossover investors putting up large pre-IPO venture rounds. In fact, venture-backed
biopharma companies with a top 15 crossover investor accounted for more than 70 percent of early-stage biopharma IPOs in
2015-2016.

Earlier stage (non-approved and CE Mark only) are focused in cardiovascular, ophthalmology and neuro.
Commercial-stage products have dominated device exits. Acquirers appear to have limited bandwidth or P&L ability to take on non-
approved stories, other than in huge growth markets where they have been forced to buy early based on acquirer competition.
Cardiovascular is a good example of this.
Cardiovascular and vascular companies typically are acquired before U.S. commercialization, resulting in more milestone earnouts
and a larger gap between upfront and total deal values.
Orthopedic exits typically are ready-made tuck-in acquisitions. The acquirers seek to scale with existing sales staff so the new revenue
accrues directly to the bottom line. For this reason, we have seen acquirers target venture-backed orthopedic companies with proven
sales ramps which requires more equity investment and reduced multiples for investors.

2017 Outlook: Healthcare Trends Continue
Positive Cycle
In last years report, we predicted 2015 would be a hard act to follow. And we were right.
Here are our projections for 2017:
Healthcare investments will closely match 2016 levels, and biopharma will continue as the strongest
sector.
Fundraising will come close to 2016 amounts, though may decline slightly. The current quick pace of
investing may lead firms that raised in 2014 or early 2015 to return to the market in 2017, bolstering
fundraising.
After a remarkably strong 2016, Series A investments in biopharma may drop as funds turn their attention
to supporting Series B and later stage companies that are unable to go public. Device and Dx/Tools likely
will be stable.
The biopharma IPO window will remain open in 2017, anticipating between 28 and 32 IPOs (compared
with 28 in 2016). Crossovers will continue to actively push their companies public. At least half of the
biopharma M&A big exits will be for early-stage companies, with the total number expected to reach
between 18 and 22.
After a very slow 2016 (three IPOs), device IPOs will at least double. M&A activity likely will remain
stable (13 in 2016), driven by a flurry of early-stage acquisitions.
Dx/Tools big exit M&A activity will rise in 2017 and may reach double digits (four in 2016). We anticipate
at least one major acquisition of $1 billion-plus in total deal value.
