Company Fundamentals\Price Analysis
The following pages are comprised of seven reports which contain averages for the companies in the
Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology (Global) sector. The primary source of the data contained in these reports is
the Worldscope Database. The averages reports are compiled from the fundamental data compiled on the
companies which make up this industry.

Profitability Analysis Ratios
The Wright Industry Averages Reports are compiled on a fiscal year basis. Companies ending their fiscal year
in January are grouped with the prior years reports. The values for 2012 for example are contributed by
those companies that ended their fiscal year after 31 January 2012 and prior to 1 February 2013. The values
shown for all reports are presented in U.S. dollars.
All companies in the industry with more than $1 million (U.S.) in net sales were included. Currency items in
the financial statements were converted to U.S. dollars using an average exchange rate for each fiscal year. A
sum (aggregate value) was computed for all financial statement items by totaling the values reported by each
company in the industry sector. Industry Average report values were computed by dividing the aggregate
value by the number of companies reporting.
Per share ratios were computed by using in the numerator a specific value that represents the aggregate sum
for all companies in the industry divided by the aggregate value of the average number of appropriate
common shares for each company.
Most companies in the industry reported Operating Income along with the major components that go into the
calculation of Operating Income. For the minority of companies that did not report all underlying cost
components those components were derived, where possible, utilizing the reported items. For example, if
Cost of Goods Sold was not reported it was derived on a company-specific basis from the other reported
items (i.e. Sales, Gross Income and Depreciation, Depletion & Amortization). The derived value was then
included in the calculation of the industry average.

Wright Quality Ratings are based on numerous individual measures of quality, grouped into four
principal components: (1) Investment Acceptance (i.e. stock liquidity), (2) Financial Strength, (3)
Profitability & Stability, and (4) Growth. The ratings are based on established principles using 5-6
years of corporate record and other investment data.
The ratings consist of three letters and a number. Each letter reflects a composite qualitative
measurement of numerous individual standards which may be summarized as follows:
The number component of the Quality Rating is also a composite measurement of the annual
corporate growth, based on earnings and modified by growth rates of equity, dividends, and sales
per common share. The Growth rating may vary from 0 (lowest) to 20 (highest). (See sample Quality
Rating below.)
Example:
Wright Quality Rating: BAC8
Investment Acceptance B Excellent
Financial Strength A Outstanding
Profitability & Stability C Good
Growth 8
The highest quality rating assigned by Wright is AAA20. This rating would be assigned to a
company that has a large and broad base of shareholders, an outstanding balance sheet and strong
and stable profitability. The company would also have experienced superior growth over the past
several years.
The Wright Quality Rating assigned to a company also takes into consideration country and industry
variations. If there is not sufficient information available, the quality rating will not be assigned or an
N (not-rated) will be applied for that particular quality criteria.
