31.1 … the National Average Transaction Price and … of an existing patented drug product will be presumed to be excessive if they increase by more than that allowed under the Board’s CPI-Adjustment Methodology, as long as this price does not exceed the HIPC test. Guidelines - Schedule 9 CPI-Adjustment Methodology

41.2 - Adjusting the benchmark prices of the drug product for the cumulative change in the CPI from the benchmark year to the year under review (CPI-Adjusted Price); and Constraint #1 CPI-Adjustment Methodology

CPI-Adjustment Methodology51.2 - Applying a cap on the maximum price increase in any one year, equal to 1.5 times the forecast change in the annual CPI. In periods of high inflation (over 10%), the limit will be five percentage point more than the forecast change in the CPI. Constraint #2

6 Introductory Benchmark Price: Lower of the N-ATP and MAPP Current Benchmark Price: Lower of the N-ATP and N-NEAP Benchmark Year & Price Terminology Benchmark Year is 3 years prior to the date of sale, unless date of first sale is less than 3 years Introductory vs Current

7 CPI factor derived using Stats Can factors Factors Published in the PMPRB NEWSletter Actual: January NEWSletter Forecast: April NEWSletter CPI-Adjustment Methodology Cap factor is 1.5x the annual forecast CPI

Calculating the N-NEAPExample: 3 years 8 2012 Forecast CPI Factor = 1.064 CPI = 1.064 x $10.0000 = $10.6400 Cap = 1.032 x $10.2000 = $10.5264 Take the lower The forecast N-NEAP for 2012 = $10.5264 2012 Forecast Cap Factor = 1.032 Year N-ATP N-NEAP Highest International Price 2009 (Benchmark) $10.0000 $10.0000 $12.0000 2010 $10.1000 $10.1800 $12.0000 2011 $10.2000 $10.4700 $12.0000 2012 $10.4000 ? $12.0000

Calculating the N-NEAPExample: When Date of First Sale is less than 3 years prior 9 2012 Forecast CPI Factor ( 2 year ) = 1.046 CPI = 1.046 x $10.0000 = $10.4600 Cap = 1.032 x $10.0500 = $10.3716 Take the lower The forecast N-NEAP for 2012 = $10.3716 2012 Forecast Cap Factor = 1.032 Year N-ATP MAPP / N-NEAP Highest International Price 2010 (Benchmark) $10.0000 $10.0000 $12.0000 2011 $10.0500 $10.2900 $12.0000 2012 $10.2000 ? $12.0000

Calculating the N-NEAPExample: No yearly price increase 10 2012 Forecast CPI Factor = 1.064 CPI = 1.064 x $10.0000 = $10.6400 Cap = 1.032 x $10.0000 = $10.3200 Take the lower The forecast N-NEAP for 2012 = $10.3200 2012 Forecast Cap Factor = 1.032 Year N-ATP MAPP / N-NEAP Highest International Price 2009 (Benchmark) $10.0000 $10.0000 $12.0000 2010 $10.0000 $10.1800 $12.0000 2011 $10.0000 $10.4400 $12.0000 2012 $10.5000 ? $12.0000

Calculating the N-NEAPExample: How CPI & Cap differ in the second year of sales 11 2012 Forecast CPI Factor ( 1 year ) = 1.021 CPI = 1.021 x $10.0000 = $10.2100 Cap = 1.032 x $9.0000 = $9.2880 Take the lower The forecast N-NEAP for 2012 = $9.2880 2012 Forecast Cap Factor = 1.032 Year N-ATP MAPP / N-NEAP Highest International Price 2011 (Full Year) $9.0000 $10.0000 $12.0000 2012 $10.0000 ? $12.0000 Date of first Sale - March 23, 2011 Benchmark Price: $10.0000

Highest International Price Comparison1.2 … the Average Transaction Price of a patented drug product at the national level…will be presumed to be excessive if it exceeds the highest price of the same strength and dosage for of the same patented drug product for each country listed in the Regulations (France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States). 12 Guidelines - Schedule 6

Highest International Price Comparison2.1 To calculate the HIPC test for a new patented drug product, the exchange rates used are the simple average of the thirty-six monthly average noon-spot exchange rates for each country (taken to eight decimal places) as published by the Bank of Canada for the thirty six months ending four months before the date of the first sale of the drug product. 13 Guidelines - Schedule 6

20Step 1: Remove VAT: FP net (FPN) = FP / 1.19 Calculating the Ex-Factory Price (Germany) Step 2: Calculate ex-factory pharmacy price (PP) PP = (FPN-8.10) / 1.03 Step 3: Derive ex-factory wholesale price (WP)

Calculating the Ex-Factory Price (Germany)21Ex-factory wholesale price (WP) is derived as follows: If : 0 < PP ≤ 3.45 WP = PP / 1.15 3.46 < PP ≤ 4.19 WP = PP - 0.45 4.20 < PP ≤ 5.60 WP = PP / 1.12 5.61 < PP ≤ 7.26 WP = PP - 0.60 7.27 < PP ≤ 9.81 WP = PP / 1.09 9.82 < PP ≤ 12.37 WP = PP - 0.81 12.38 < PP ≤ 24.61 WP = PP / 1.07 24.62 < PP ≤ 28.43 WP = PP - 1.61 28.44 < PP ≤ 1,272.00 WP = PP / 1.06 PP > 1,272.00 WP = PP – 72
