. 烟草公司跨界玩医药 万宝路母公司10亿美元收购吸入式药物开发商
财联社(上海,编辑 史正丞)讯,当地时间周五,全球最大烟草公司菲利普莫里斯国际(PM)发布公告称,公司已经与英国医药开发商Vectura达成全现金收购协议。
(来源:美通社) 根据收购协议,PM将以每股150便士的价格收购Vectura的股份,较今年5月25日的除息收盘价溢价46%。这笔交易给到公司的估值为8.52亿英镑(约合12亿美元),击败了凯雷5月时给出的报价。
这笔交易也是迄今为止烟草行业对医药领域最大规模的并购。Vectura是创新型吸入给药解决方案供应商,帮助合作伙伴能够将他们的药物通过吸入方式投放到患者身体内。该公司目前有200名在配方、设备、吸入、监管团队和临床制造方面具有专业知识的科学家。2020年Vectura总共实现净营收1.91亿英镑,收购价值大约为公司2020年EBITDA的14倍。
毫无疑问,烟草巨头大肆“出圈”投资,也反映出了全球烟草消费不可避免的颓势。在以发达国家为主的消费者为了健康拒绝吸烟的背景下,菲利普莫里斯也提出了2025年实现半数净营收来自于非吸烟产品的目标,其中来自“非尼古丁”产品的营收至少要达到10亿美元。
与收购Vectura类似的是,本月初菲利普莫里斯以8.2亿美元收购了尼古丁口香糖和口腔止疼药开发商Fertin Pharma,这家主打丹麦、加拿大和印度市场的公司2020年实现营收1.6亿美元。
