Risk To a company conducting research and international operations such as Lundbeck, avoiding risk is neither possible, nor is it a defined goal. Rather, one of our goals is to handle such risk by maintaining a reasonable balance between costs and benefits. Professional risk management requires unambiguous communication channels ­ horizontal as well as vertical, that such channels are used and that practical routines and procedures are in place for day-to-day risk management. In particular, it is important to be aware of the type of risk involved and to prioritise the risks that need special attention. Moreover, it is important to set up guidelines encompassing, as a minimum, procedures and routines for: · Information and reporting on risks and changes to internal and external risks · Who makes which decisions · Follow-up on goals and costs · Follow-up on deadlines and milestones The five greatest risks identified by Lundbeck, and described below in no order of priority, are all regularly and systematically monitored by the management and the Supervisory Board. Risks associated with the R&D portfolio Lundbecks future success depends on its ability to identify, develop and market new innovative drugs. Prior to obtaining regulatory approval for the sale of a drug, Lundbeck must demonstrate for each specific indication the safety and efficacy of the drug candidate for use in humans through preclinical studies and clinical trials. Preclinical study results are not necessarily indicative of the results that will subsequently be achieved in clinical trials, and clinical trial results are not necessarily predic- tive of the results that will be achieved in more extensive controlled trials. Risks associated with intellectual property rights and generic competition Lundbecks continued success largely hinges on its ability to develop and patent new drugs and to operate the business without infringing on others rights. Patents are considered significant assets to the company, and Lundbeck has defined a policy of patenting all inventions to optimise the value of its trademarks and drugs under development. However, patents and the patent application process in pharmaceutical companies such as Lundbeck are legally and scientifically complicated processes and may be subject to uncertainty. Also, legislation concerning the extent of patent coverage and the periods during which patent protection can be enforced are constantly changing. The companys revenue and earnings are still largely dependent on the sale of citalopram, which represented 80% of total revenue in 2002. The compound patent for citalopram has expired, leading to increased supply of generic citalopram products. Generic manufacturers do not incur R&D costs and do not spend resources on training activities for healthcare staff, patients and relatives. As a result, they are able to offer generic products at a price considerably lower than similar original products. Lately, European markets in particular have witnessed an increase in the number of prescriptions for generic products instead of original drugs as a result of cost-reducing measures taken by the authorities. Lundbeck remains convinced that, following the expiry of the compound patent, citalopram remains protected against generic competition, for example via a number of process patents. In the year under review, Lundbeck won most of the enforcement proceedings in Scandinavia that compelled generic manufacturers to withdraw their generic products from the market immediately. It is the companys policy to defend its rights energetically, wherever they may be violated. Risks associated with growth management In recent years, the company has witnessed strong growth, and revenue has increased from DKK 1.3 billion in 1994 to DKK 9.5 billion in 2002. This growth has required - and will continue to require ­ substantial management, operational, human and financial resources. The companys continued growth will depend on managements ability to continue to carry out and enhance its research, product development, marketing and sales and customer service activities, to improve administrative and business management systems and to expand, train and develop the employees and to manage its production facilities in a manner that will maintain the necessary capacity output. Foreign currency risks Financial risks arise for example when foreign business partners wish to invoice amounts in their local currency. Companies operating in non-domestic markets are more exposed to financial risks than companies that solely conduct business in the domestic market. 42 L U N D B E C K A N N UA L R E P O RT 2 0 0 2 Contents Report Important events in 2002 Product portfolio Alzheimers disease Depression Parkinsons Supervisory Board Arne V.
