Question

In the HIV drug market, Gilead leads the way. Its products Truvada has sales of $3.1 billion. Stribild ($205

million), Complera ($800 million), Viread ($958 million), and Antripla ($3.6 billion).

Note that 2 of these drugs are joint ventures. Complera is a joint venture with Johnson & Johnson.

Johnson & Johnson’s other HIV products are Prezista ($1.7 billion) and Intelence ($0.3 billion).

The other Gilead joint venture is Antripla where proceeds are shared with Bristol-Myers. The other

Bristol-Myers HIV drugs are Sustiva ($2.4 billion) and Reyatac ($2.3 billion)

Note: for joint ventures assume revenue is divided 50-50.

Solve for the HH Index in the HIV drug industry. Show your solution.

Explanation / Answer

Gilead revenue from Complera = 50% x $800 mill = $400 mill

Gilead revenue from Antripla = 50% x $3.6 bill = $1,800 mill

Total revenue of Gilead = $(3,100 + 205 + 400 + 958 + 1,800) million = $8,663 million

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) revenue from Complera = $400 mill

Total revenue of J&J = $(400 + 1,700 + 300) mill = $2,400 mill

Mristol-Myers (BM) revenue from Antripla = $1,800 mill

Total revenue of BM = $(1,800 + 2,400 + 2,300) mill = $6,500 mill

So:

Total revenue, all 3 firms = $(8,663 + 2,400 + 6,500) mill = $17,563 mill

Market share of Gilead =8,663 / 17,563 = 49.33%

Market share of J&J = 2,400 / 17,563 = 13.67%

Market share of BM = 6,500 / 17,563 = 37.01%

So, HH Index = (49.33)2 + (13.67)2 + (37.01)2 = 2,433 + 187 + 1,370

= 3,990
