Novartis finally unloads 300 troubled U.S. generics to India's Aurobindo for $1B
After shopping pieces of its troubled Sandoz business for months, the Swiss drugmaker has unloaded a big chunk-including some easy-to-copy generics and several manufacturing plants to India-based Aurobindo Pharma. 

While the deal relieves Novartis of a troubled franchise, it boosts Aurobindo to become the second-largest generics player by prescriptions in the U.S. Novartis said on Thursday it is selling about 300 products and several development projects in its Sandoz U.S. generic oral solids and dermatology business to Aurobindo for $900 million upfront and up to $100 million in performance payments. Combined, these products sold about $600 million in the first half of 2018, said Novartis, and Aurobindo estimated the drugs could turn up $900 million in sales for the first 12 months after the deal closes. As part of the deal, Aurobindo also gets Sandoz's dermatology development center, as well as manufacturing facilities in Wilson, North Carolina, and Hicksville and Melville, New York, which Aurobindo said are "highly complementary" to its existing production footprint. About 750 employees from those plants and dermatology sales reps will come aboard Aurobindo.

Mylan Strikes $463 Million Deal With Novartis For CF Product Line
Mylan plunked down $463 million for Novartis' cystic fibrosis products, which includes the TOBI Podhaler and TOBI solution. 

Pennsylvania-based Mylan first hinted at the deal last month when it announced its quarterly financial report.  The company said it had entered into an agreement at the end of July with an unnamed company for some assets. At the time, Mylan remained coy about its deal partner. Finally, though, the company broke its silence in a very brief announcement. Mylan said it anticipates paying the Swiss pharma giant approximately $240 million this year as part of the agreement. The deal was finalized on Aug. 31, Mylan said. The acquisition of the cystic fibrosis products will "further enhance Mylan's respiratory portfolio in the U.S., Europe and certain Rest of World markets," the company said. Other than that, Mylan continues to remain quiet on the deal.
