5. Maintain a decentralized operating model to ensure decisions are made close to the customer

6. Focus our promotional spending on customer-facing activities

7. Measure all of our operating units on organic growth and cash flow generation

8. Require Internal Rates of Return (IRR) significantly above our cost of capital, coupled with short-term cash paybacks for all of our deals

9. Directly link senior management compensation to long-term shareholder returns 10. Ensure tight controls and rigorous compliance standards while avoiding overspending

Valeant’s perspectives on industry innovation

Innovation is critical for the future of healthcare and the success of Valeant

Majority of innovation coming from outside the big industry players

– Big Pharma, primarily sourcing innovation by buying later-stage products driven by biotechs, venture capital, start-ups, foundations, physicians, and academic centers

– Leading products largely developed outside of Big Pharma

Valeant’s strength in R&D/innovation focused on:

– Core areas of dermatology, ophthalmology, and branded generics

– Focused on line extensions and reformulations, where returns are more certain, and where Valeant has expertise

“Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.”

–—Steve Jobs, Forbes 1998

Opportunity to change patient behavior: Clairol example (1/3)

• Situation:

– Since its inception in the 1930s, Clairol faced bad sentiments toward hair colorant products in the US

American consumers attached a stigma to the products

Corporate America did not believe the hair colorant industry was a legitimate business

– Banks refused to finance the company

– Magazines banned ads for hair tints because they seemed too controversial

– In the 1950s they were selling mostly through hair salons in upscale department stores and wanted to expand their new at home, one-step product to the broader market

Opportunity to change patient behavior: Clairol Case Study (2/3)

• Conduct:

– The Miss Clairol campaign was launched in 1956 to:

Dispel the notion that hair coloring was taboo

– Ads used wholesome “girl-next-door” types of women, often with children

Reinforce that Clairol produced natural-looking results

– “Does she…or doesn’t she” ad campaign

– Next, the Lady Clairol campaign was released, appealing to women’s interested in becoming more desirable:

“Is It True… Blondes Have More Fun?”

“The Closer He Gets… The Better You Look!”

Guiding principles for Allergan integration

Great ideas come from everywhere. We will listen to our physician customers, employees from Allergan and Valeant, R&D partners, and patients for their advice and ideas

Existing physician and Allergan employee relationships really matter. Our intent is to keep all Allergan sales representatives who are performing at acceptable levels.

We will focus and expand resources aimed at accelerating untapped/high growth assets.

We look for your help in understanding priorities for our physician customers and we are committed to incorporating your advice into all integration decisions.

Issues identified from Medicis integration informed B+L integration

Approach Outcome

Medicis • Focused on best raw talent in • Disruption with customers, both sales and marketing over limited acceleration of growth maintaining relationships • Mix of employee sentiments

Took cultural integration for depending on fit in Valeant granted culture

Focused on maintaining Maintained strong customer

B+L relationships and investing in relationships and were able to customer activities, no US sales further accelerate growth force cuts

Focused on making sure leaders Strong employee sentiment and fit, understood, and enjoyed satisfaction Valeant culture

Collaborative on all decisions, business leadership with autonomy to make integration decisions

Outcomes from B+L integration will inform Allergan integration

36



LOGO

 

Initial thoughts for Allergan Aesthetics integration

Maintain majority of Allergan aesthetics team; keep relationships in place between the company and physicians

– Injectables, Breast Aesthetics, Devices: Plan to maintain field force, no overlapping sales team

– Obagi and Skinmedica: Expectation to maintain separate sales teams given unique product offerings

Keep late stage R&D programs and high potential early stage programs

Emphasize commercial efforts on growing the market with a focus on the physician practice

– Help recruit new patients to physician offices

– Develop physician loyalty programs to support physician empowerment

– Expand opportunities and new products for your practice (e.g., eye whitening, aesthetic contact lenses)
