Open floor Q&A session
Turning a disaster into an opportunity ... and a big success
• Coinciding with Nycomed’s acquisition
• Russian business sizeable – but unprofitable
• Nordic Capital negotiates significant discount for taking on the risk
• Many Western MNCs which had entered Russia recently, exit the market (e.g. Merck)
The Russian ruble crisis hits in August
1998
• Initial plans from Nordic Capital call for closing down Russia
• CEO of Russian business makes a case for turning around in 6 months – gets board approval and backing
• New plans call for leveraging presence in the region since Soviet era, strong brand recognition, and strong relationships with customers and suppliers
Nycomed Russia CEO spots an opportunity
• Receivables are recovered with minimal writeoffs
• Co. is restructured (~50% layoffs)
• Exiting MNCs lower competitiveness in the Russian market
• Some (e.g. Merck) out-license all their products to Nycomed to sell in the region
Russia drives growth and provides the appetite for Ems

The Russian business grew from $11mm in 1999 to more than $600mm in 2011
