LONDON, UK – EQS Newswire – 10 June 2022 – Financial information from over 100 multinational drug companies, involving over 70,000 data points, have been accumulated over the past 35 years to create a pharmaceutical database. All our data (sales, COGS, SG&A, R&D and other income) have been derived from annual reports, regulatory filings and company presentations, and then analysed, wherever possible, in a like-for-like manner, irrespective of how each company presents the data. This is a key differentiator to competitive products and is important because all company management teams report “adjusted”, “core”, or “non-GAAP” earnings to show themselves in the best possible light. However, different inclusion/exclusion criteria in the generation of these adjustments lead to distortions and variability.
Although some of the companies are multi-divisional, another key differentiator is the extraction and analysis of data for the pharmaceutical segment only. This product is unique because it analyses the individual cost components of each company over time and generates pharma industry weighted averages, allowing peer and industry comparisons to be made. It also generates individual company and industry-wide underlying operating profit (EBIT), both pre-R&D and post R&D.
Historically, data from over 100 companies has been accumulated, but industry consolidation means that just 40 are included currently, which command an estimated 76% of the global drug industry. The main exceptions are the Chinese companies where insufficient data are available on a consistent basis.

Industrial REITs have outperformed hotel, retail and office REITs over the last 10 years. Their growth is set to continue, according to Cushman & Wakefield.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 9 June 2022 – Strong long-term drivers underpin a positive outlook for the Industrial sector in Asia despite uncertainty in the near-term macroeconomic climate.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in Asia demonstrated relative resilience through the peak COVID-19 period, backed by robust capital structures, sufficient financial liquidity, and supportive regulatory policies. A Cushman & Wakefield report[1] revealed that all classes gained overall momentum to recover strongly during 2021, when the annualized total return rate[2] of REITs of each property type turned from negative to positive.
Industrial/logistics REITs, which recorded positive returns throughout, recorded annualized total returns of 24.7 percent in 2021, compared to hotels and retail––investment classes most closely associated with social distancing––which recorded 9.4 percent and 9.8 percent respectively. Buoyed by the unprecedented growth in e-commerce during the past three years, industrial/logistics REITs recorded the highest 10-year annualized total returns of any asset class, at 16.4 percent.
Catherine Chen, Director, APAC Research said industrial/logistics REITs have seen a wave of capitalization as investors turn to the new economy. “Changes in economic activity have undeniably brought unprecedented challenges to traditional real estate sectors, such as office properties and shopping malls. On the other hand, the surge of activity in the new economy has brought alternative property types such as logistics parks and data centres to the centre of investors’ attention.”
Solid long-term drivers mean new economy REITs are likely to remain resilient even as the pandemic subsides. Asia’s growing middle class, the largest online retail market in the world and increasing intra-regional trade all point to increased industrial activity. Even near-term uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment could potentially increase demand for logistics assets in the region, as operators accumulate reserves of warehouse space to hedge against supply chain disruption.
Andrew Chan, Managing Director, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, Greater China, said: “2022 is expected to be another record year for Asia REIT IPOs, especially in China, as local authorities encourage the development of infrastructure-backed REITs as an important financing vehicle for developers.”
As of May 2022, 12 public infrastructure REITs had been successfully listed in mainland China, marking a crucial step for the nation’s REIT market. The opening up of public infrastructure REITs provided equity financing channels for domestic infrastructure holders, with active transactions in the secondary market indicating the market’s recognition of these products. Nonetheless, compared to the most developed global countries and markets, China’s public REITs are still in their infancy. In terms of the current proportion of market value of public REITs in stock capitalization, China is at 0.05%, remarkably lower than Singapore at 13%, the United States at 3%, and Japan at 2%, indicating potential for tremendous future growth in the C-REIT market.
Compared to other major markets in Asia, the Hong Kong REIT market has a less diversified asset base, primarily holding traditional commercial assets such as shopping malls, offices, and hotels. Fewer REITs in Hong Kong focus on new economy assets such as logistics and data centers. In its report titled Revitalizing the Hong Kong SAR REIT Market, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority encourages a range of property categories to go public as REITs on the Hong Kong SAR exchange.
