Brazilian Pharmaceutical Industry Overview<br />

The following table shows annual sales and average unit prices in U.S. Dollars and growth rates for the private sector of the Brazilian pharmaceutical market:<br />

(2) Revenues based on prices charged by wholesalers to retailers (based on list prices).<br />

(3) In Brazil, pharmaceutical products are distributed in pre-packaged doses or units, which may vary in size from year to year.<br />

(4) To calculate U.S. dollar amounts, IMS Health uses a semester average based on the daily interbank rate published by OANDA Corporation (based on data from the Brazilian<br />

Central Bank). The U.S. Dollar rate used for conversion in <strong>20</strong>11 was $R1.838 per U.S.$1.00.<br />

The Brazilian pharmaceutical market has been growing steadily since <strong>20</strong>00, driven, in large part, by improvments in socio-<strong>de</strong>mographic indicators, and is projected to<br />

continue growing at rates of between eight and ten percent over the next five years.<br />

Like Mexico, the Brazilian retail pharmacy market is also very fragmented. We face competition from companies such as Drogarias Pacheco, Raia, Drogaria Sao Paulo,<br />

Venancio and Drogasil, which operate large pharmacy chains, as well as from supermarkets and retailers that sell pharmaceutical products, such as Carrefour, Walmart and Pão <strong>de</strong><br />

Açúcar. In addition, we compete with, among others, in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>ntly owned drugstores, supermarkets, mass merchandisers, discount stores, e-commerce sites that specialize in<br />

drugstore items and other small market participants.<br />
