Investment Thesis

Johnson & Johnson appears slightly undervalued based on fundamentals and multiple valuations. The uncertainty
surrounding the implementation or modification of “health care reform” warrants a cautious approach to the sector
and Johnson & Johnson, however. We believe a HOLD rating is justified given Johnson & Johnson’s global
diversification of sales, late stage drug pipeline, current demographics and current dividend yield.

Company Overview

Johnson & Johnson, Inc. (sometimes referred to as Johnson & Johnson or the company) is a diversified
health care company engaged in the research, development, manufacture and sale of a diverse array of
medical, pharmaceutical and consumer related products internationally. Johnson & Johnson employs
approximately 114,000 employees through its holding company as well as its 250 operating subsidiaries.
Johnson & Johnson operates internationally through three distinct business segments: Consumer,
Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices and Diagnostics (MD&D). A detailed analysis of each business
segment is presented below.

Corporate Strategy

Johnson & Johnson is a rare breed of companies that can be considered a defensive growth company.
The company follows a 4-pronged growth strategy: it places a significant emphasis on maintaining brand
equity in the Consumer segment; it invests substantial resources in research and development (R&D)
activities in the Pharmaceutical and MD&D segments; it participates in strategic partnerships and
acquisitions; and, it penetrates emerging growth markets. The company’s iconic brands in the Consumer
segment serve as an anchor and position the company for success in declining and expanding economic
cycles. On the other end of the spectrum, however, is the company’s tremendous innovation in the
Pharmaceutical and MD&D segments. Johnson & Johnson invests a significant amount of capital on
R&D, which has resulted in a promising pipeline of drugs and medical devices and will serve as a catalyst
for growth. Another key element of the company’s growth strategy is international expansion.

Research & Development: Johnson & Johnson invests a significant portion of its resources in R&D
activities. These R&D expenditures relate to the development of new products, the improvement of
existing products, technical support of existing products and compliance with governmental regulations
for the protection of consumers and patients. The company has demonstrated a commitment to
investing in R&D with the aim of delivering high quality and innovative products. Johnson & Johnson
invested $6.8 billion, or 11.1% of sales, on R&D Rank Company Sales

December 2010. Continued investment in R&D will solidify the company’s position as a market leader
and will assist in the development of new and additional products, which will enable the company to
sustain continued growth.

Strategic Acquisitions and Partnerships: In addition to its organic growth generated from brand equity
and innovation, Johnson & Johnson continues to pursue strategic acquisitions and partnerships. Such
strategic ventures increase the company’s revenue, diversify its product lines and enhance its existing
drug portfolio and pipeline. In 2010, Johnson & Johnson acquired certain businesses for approximately
$1,269 million.iii Figure 2 presents a summary of the company’s key strategic acquisitions and
partnerships it entered into during 2009 and 2010. Such transactions boosted the company’s
substantive capabilities and product offerings and will assist with future growth.

International Exposure: Consolidated worldwide sales in 2010 were $61.6 billion, a decrease of .5%.
Interestingly, Johnson & Johnson’s U.S. sales were $29.5 billion in 2010, a decrease of 4.7% while
international sales increased 3.6% to $32.1 billion.

The company recently made significant attempts


to penetrate certain international markets.
Figure 3 shows the increasing proportion of
international sales to Johnson & Johnson’s total
sales. In 2010, international sales accounted for
52% of total sales. International

expansion and the penetration of emerging markets such as Brazil, India and China offer an important
growth opportunity for Johnson & Johnson. Countries across the globe are facing the same issues that
the U.S. is facing relative to an uninsured population. Such factors are actually favorable for the
company internationally. Sales in Brazil, India, Russia and China increased 14% in 2010.iv In Brazil, over
the last 5 years, private medical insurance has increased by 60%, covering approximately 30% of the
populationv. In India, private insurance coverage is expected to increase from 35 million in 2010 to 220
million by 2015.vi In China, about 90% of the Chinese population (over 1.2 billion) is now covered by
some form of the country’s medical insurance system.vii These particular emerging markets hold huge
potential for Johnson & Johnson because they are all subject to the same demographic trends and each
trying to bring more of their respective populations into its respective healthcare coverage. As the
emerging markets evolve and the population covered by medical insurance increases in such markets,
Johnson & Johnson will be well positioned to capture a significant share of the expanding markets.

Segment Analysis

Johnson & Johnson’s total sales in 2010 were


$61.6 billion. 2010 sales by segment are
presented in Figure 4. Sales by Segment
Figure 4

Consumer Segment
Consumer
40% 24%
The Consumer segment sells a broad range of Pharmaceutical
36%
personal care products used for baby care, skin Medical Devices
care, oral care, wound care and the women’s
health care fields, as well as nutritional and
over-the-counter pharmaceutical products. These products are marketed and sold to the general public
through retailers and distributors. A key advantage Johnson & Johnson enjoys in its Consumer segment
is brand equity due to its iconic brands. Major brands include Aveeno, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena,
Tylenol, Band Aid and Johnson’s Baby line of products, to name a few.

The Consumer segment sales decreased overall 7.7% from 2009 to $14.6 billion. Segment sales in the
U.S. decreased 19.3% year over year, whereas International segment sales increased 1.2% year over
year. The Consumer segment was hurt by several significant over the counter (OTC) product recalls in
the U.S. and the prolonged shutdown of a major manufacturing plant. Product recalls impacted the total
year sales by approximately $900 million.

Pharmaceutical Segment

The Pharmaceutical segment offers a diverse range of products covering a wide array of therapeutic
areas including anti-infective, antipsychotic, cardiovascular, contraceptive, dermatology,
gastrointestinal, hematology, immunology, neurology, oncology, pain management, urology and
JOHNSON & JOHNSON, INC. (NYSE: JNJ) March 8, 2011

virology. The pharmaceutical products are distributed directly to retailers, wholesalers and health care
professionals for prescription use.

Pharmaceutical segment sales in 2010 were $22.4 billion, a decrease of .6% from 2009. U.S.
pharmaceutical sales decreased 4.0% year over year while International sales increased 4.2% year over
year. The decrease in U.S sales is largely attributed to two factors: the erosion of market share due to
generic competition for certain drugs and the implementation of certain aspects of the health care
reform laws passed in March (sales were reduced by approximately $400 million as a result of
U.S. health care reform legislation).viii Additional pressure on the pharmaceutical segment is expected
in 2011 as market exclusivity for Levaquin (6% of pharmaceutical sales) expires in 2011 and a generic
version of Concerta (5.8% of pharmaceutical sales) is set to come to market beginning May 1, 2011. By
way of example, in March of 2009, Topamax lost basic patent protection and market exclusivity and
became subject to generic competition in the United States and later in the year in international
markets. Sales of Topamax declined by 53.3% and 57.9% in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Although patent expirations and the attendant generic competition will erode market share for certain
products, Johnson & Johnson’s Pharmaceutical segment is poised for growth based on a few strategic
advantages: the company continues to see significant advancements in its deep pipeline of drugs;
double digit growth in emerging markets; and continued momentum in recently launched products.
Figure 5 presents selected pharmaceuticals in late stage (Phase III and final approval) U.S. and E.U.

the drugs should provide a top line boost to revenues.

Medical Devices and Diagnostics Segment

Johnson & Johnson is the world’s largest medical devices and diagnostics business. The MD&D segment
sells a broad range of wound care and minimally invasive surgical products, including orthopaedics and
diagnostics which are distributed to wholesalers, hospitals and retailers to be used principally in the
professional medical fields. MD&D products include Biosense Webster’s electrophysiology products;
Cordis’ circulatory disease management products; DePuy’s orthopaedic joint reconstruction, spinal care,
neurological and sports medicine products; Ethicon’s surgical care products; Ethicon Endo-Surgery’s
minimally invasive surgical products and advanced sterilization products; LifeScan’s blood glucose
monitoring and insulin delivery products; Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics’ professional diagnostic products
and Vistakon’s disposable contact lenses.

MD&D sales were $24.6 billion in 2010, representing an increase of 4.4% over the prior year. U.S. sales
were $11.4 billion, an increase of 3.6% over the prior year. International sales were $13.2 billion, an
increase of 5.0% over the prior year.ix

Sector Outlook

Regulatory Risk: Health Care Reform and the FDA The Health Care sector is not as correlated to
economic indicators or data points as the other S&P Sectors. That said, the sector is not immune to
external factors. 2010 was an historic year in the U.S. from a regulatory perspective. The Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act passed in March 2010. The sector experienced volatility following
the Act’s passage and will continue to see investor sentiment fluctuate as the market attempts to
predict whether the Act will be implemented in its current form or whether it will be repealed or
modified. Consequently, the sector will likely continue to experience volatility over the near-term.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (more commonly referred to as health care reform)
included an increase in the minimum Medicare rebate rate from 15.1% to 23.1%. Johnson & Johnson
saw a fully year impact to sales as a result of the increased Medicare rebate rate of approximately $400
million.x The 2011 full year impact to sales is estimated to be between $400 and $500 million.xi
Additionally, in 2011, companies that sell branded prescription drugs to certain U.S. government
programs will pay an annual fee based on an allocation of the company’s market share of total branded
prescription drug sales from the prior year. The company estimates that the annual fee from the sales
related to branded prescription drugs will be approximately $150 - $200 million in 2011. Commencing in
2013, a 2.3% excise tax will be imposed on the sale of certain medical devices. A complete analysis of
the health care reform law is beyond the scope of this equity report. This summary is intended to
demonstrate that the law will have an adverse effect, at least initially, on the Pharmaceutical and MD&D
segments. Gradually, however, the reform could have a benefit on the sector resulting from the
expansion of the market, with new coverage to an estimated 40 million Americans.

Hidden behind the well-publicized regulatory wrangling in the U.S. legislature related to health care
reform, the FDA has quietly increased its regulatory strain on the sector generally and the
JOHNSON & JOHNSON, INC. (NYSE: JNJ) March 8, 2011

pharmaceutical industry specifically. The FDA approved only 21 new drugs in 2010, down from 25 in
2009 and 24 in 2008.xii Although it is not entirely clear what is underlying the FDA’s reluctance to issue
patents, the new normal appears to be a reticence to grant patent protection – this is not all that
surprising given a tenet of the health care reform law is to bring down the cost of prescriptions. This
trend is troubling alone. When coupled with the discretion shown to generics, however, the outlook
appears much more ominous for established pharmaceutical firms. The FDA has recently encouraged
generic drug firms to file Abbreviated New Drug Applications seeking to market generic forms of
patented pharmaceutical products prior to expiration of the applicable patents covering those products.
Such an application requires the patent holder to defend the viability of the applicable patent in court.
If the patent holder is not successful in defending the resulting lawsuits, generic versions of the product
at issue will be introduced, resulting in very substantial market share and revenue losses. These issues
will be amplified in the coming years because the pharmaceutical industry is facing a patent cliff with
estimated losses of $80 billion of sales attributed to expiring patents through 2014.

Demographics
Although I anticipate near-term volatility due to
the aforementioned risks the sector faces, the
long-term view of the sector remains positive
supported by aging demographics and upward
trends in discretionary spending. The aging
global population is more likely to use medical
coverage/products and is expected to support
sustained sector growth. Figure 6 shows the
global population growth over the past 50 years
and the projected growth over the next 50 years:
the number of older persons (over 60) globally is
expected to triple over the next 50 years.

Figure6

Another factor supporting the growth of the sector is an increasingly positive economic outlook. The
strengthening economy should result in increased employment and thus boost demand for employer-
sponsored health plans. The corollary is that the improving economy should also trigger a rise in
discretionary spending, resulting in industry growth due to an increased number of persons seeking
healthcare coverage and the related benefits that are associated with coverage, such as prescription
pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Underlying the discretionary spending (and incidentally
also underlying health care reform) is the continued growth in health care expenditures as a percentage
of GDP. Growth in National Health Expenditures (NHE) is anticipated to average an annual growth rate
of 6.3% for 2009 through 2019, reaching 19.3%.xiii

Financial Analysis

Profitability Analysis

Johnson & Johnson’s profitability analysis suggests the firm compares favorably to its competitors.
Notably, large pharmaceutical companies have recently experienced margin compression because of
market concerns related to patent expirations. Even in light of this fact, Johnson & Johnson boasts the
second highest operating margin and strong gross and net margins. The company also has the highest
return on assets, suggesting a high degree of management effectiveness. A high return on equity is a
good measure of profitability as it reflects the company’s profits from each dollar of company assets.

Analysis of Segment Operating Profit

Unlike several of its competitors, Johnson &


Johnson is well diversified with 63% in operating
profits coming from its two non-pharmaceutical
segments, Consumer and MD&D. Figure 8 details
operating profits by segment for the prior 3 year
period. Consumer segment operating profit
decreased 5.4% from 2009 as a result of lower
sales and higher costs attributed to product
recalls. Operating profit for the Consumer
segment in 2009 decreased 7.4% from 2008. Both Pharmaceutical and MD&D saw increases in
operating profit in 2010. The Pharmaceutical segment operating profit increased 10.5% in 2010,
recovering from a decrease in 2009 of 15.7%, which was largely attributed to restructuring charges
incurred. MD&D operating profit increased 7.5% in 2010, after an increase in 2009 of 6.5%. The MD&D
increases in operating profit are expected to continue based on manufacturing efficiencies and
diversified product mixes. This is a positive sign for the company given that revenues from the MD&D
segment accounted for 40% of 2010 revenues.

Liquidity Analysis

To determine Johnson & Johnson’s liquidity position relative to its peers, we analyzed four factors: the
Current Ratio; the Quick Ratio; the percentage of long-term debt to total assets, a measurement of a
company’s leverage, calculated as the company's debt divided by its total capital (debt and equity); and,
the ratio of total assets to total equity, a measure of financial leverage and long-term solvency. Figure 9
shows that Johnson and Johnson compares favorably on all metrics. The company’s strong current ratio
JOHNSON & JOHNSON, INC. (NYSE: JNJ) March 8, 2011

and quick ratio suggest sufficient liquidity. These metrics also verify the company’s strong cash position
as shown in the discounted cash flow model presented below.

Valuation Analysis

We conducted an Absolute Ratio Valuation Model, Discounted Cash Flow Model and a Sum of Parts
Analysis to determine a target price for Johnson & Johnson.

Equity Valuation: Absolute Ratio Valuation Model

We believe the absolute ratio valuation model using multiples for Johnson & Johnson is an appropriate
metric using target multiples just under the historic means. The Absolute Ratio Valuation Model
presented in Figure 9 implies a target price of $68.83, representing a 14% upside to the share price as of
March 7, 2011. Figure 10 shows Johnson & Johnson’s current equity multiples compared against certain
of its competitors. Based on the multiples comparison, Johnson & Johnson is trading on average slightly
higher than its peers suggesting the stock is overvalued relative to its competitors.

Equity Valuation: Discounted Cash Flow Model

A discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation is presented in detail as Appendix B. The DCF analysis suggests
that Johnson & Johnson is currently trading at a discount relative to its intrinsic enterprise value. The
DCF model implies an intrinsic value of $68.09 per share. This implied value represents an upside of
12.6% over the closing price on March 7, 2011 and, perhaps more importantly, an upside of 13% relative
to SIM’s cost basis in its shares of Johnson & Johnson ($60.33 as estimated from the 3/5/11 Daily
Performance Analysis).

The DCF model is extremely sensitive to modifications to the terminal growth rate and the discount rate.
In conducting our DCF analysis, we applied a discount rate of 10.5% and a terminal growth rate of 4%.
We applied a discount rate of 10.5% for two primary reasons: the uncertainty within the pharmaceutical
segment relative to the FDA approval process (or lack thereof) and the uncertainty surrounding health
care reform. Although we see Johnson & Johnson as a defensive stock that could trend below the 10%
discount rate applied to the general market, after careful evaluation of the foregoing factors, we believe
it is prudent to assign a slightly higher discount rate to Johnson & Johnson’s expected future cash flows.

We also considered several factors in selecting the appropriate terminal growth rate to apply. With
respect to the terminal growth rate, we considered inflation projections for fiscal year 2011 as a
baseline inflation indicator, aging demographics and the increasing global population. Based on the
foregoing factors, we believe the demand for Johnson & Johnson’s products imply a terminal growth
rate of 4%.

As discussed above, altering either the discount rate or terminal growth rate will provide a range of
implied share prices. The sensitivity analysis presented as Figure 11 demonstrates the range of share
values based on the differing combinations, which also provides a second level of expectations based on
external factors.

Sum of parts analysis

Johnson & Johnson’s operating structure lends itself to a sum of parts analysis. As seen in Figure 12, the
target price under this analysis is $66.65, which represents 10% upside from the share price as of March
7, 2011.

Investment Thesis

Johnson & Johnson appears slightly undervalued based on fundamental and multiples valuations;
however, the uncertainty surrounding the implementation or modification of “health care reform”
warrants a cautious approach to the sector and the stock. Although the positive fundamentals are
offset by the negative factors referenced above, we believe a HOLD rating is justified given Johnson &
Johnson’s diversification of sales worldwide, late stage drug pipeline, current demographics and current
dividend yield.

Catalysts

- Diversified sales base, both internationally and across segment lines


- Strategic acquisitions to continue diversification and boost top line revenues
- Continued R&D investment has led to a promising late stage pharmaceutical pipeline with many
candidates for approval and commercialization
- Continued demographic trends provide for an expanding market in need of health care products
and services

Risks

- Challenges to existing patents; introductions of generic versions of key pharmaceutical products


- Pricing pressures, reduced reimbursement rates and austerity measures related to a prolonged
global economic downturn
JOHNSON & JOHNSON, INC. (NYSE: JNJ) March 8, 2011

- Health care changes in the U.S. and other countries resulting in the continued consolidation
among health care providers, trends toward managed care and health care cost containment, the
shift towards governments becoming the primary payers of health care expenses
- Challenges in securing obtaining regulatory approvals to gain and maintain market approval of
products

Summary

We have established a HOLD rating, with a target price for Johnson & Johnson of $68.00, 12.6% above
the closing price on March 7, 2011. Johnson and Johnson is a classic defensive stock with tremendous
prospects for growth due to its existing platforms in major emerging markets, aging global populations
and ever-increasing expenditures on healthcare as a percentage of gross domestic product. Although
