As the future financial performance of a pharmaceutical company is directly related to the revenues of new products, an appropriate assessment of the potential sales forecast of the portfolio of forthcoming new products is an important predictor of the financial value of a pharmaceutical company.This article presents a financial valuation algorithm for the assessment of the futures sales of a new, innovative medicinal product based on the current reimbursement policies and future business models for reimbursement. The algorithm is applied to possible new products for the treatment of depression and multiple sclerosis.TOPICS: Private equity, fundamental equity analysis, legal/regulatory/public policy, risk management
