Table 1 notes

  1. Table 1 sets out aggregate information about measured sales subject to the affordability mechanism. It includes information received on parallel imports from IQVIA adjusted to net prices, and information from audited annual sales reports and unaudited quarterly sales reports provided by members of the 2019 voluntary scheme and the statutory scheme.
  2. The baseline for measured sales in respect of the statutory scheme and parallel imports has been calculated in accordance with Annex 4, paragraph 1 of the 2019 voluntary scheme.
  3. 鈥楳easured sales鈥 is defined in the glossary of the 2019 voluntary scheme for branded medicines pricing and access as 鈥渟ales of scheme products by scheme members, statutory scheme sales and parallel import sales, but excluding exemptions from measured sales鈥.
  4. Figures for the 2019 voluntary scheme reflect any audited sales reports received. Annual totals from 2019 onwards for the statutory scheme reflect any audited sales reports received.
  5. Measured sales in any particular period reflects all relevant scheme members in either the 2019 voluntary scheme or statutory scheme during that period. For example, several companies moved from the statutory scheme to the voluntary scheme at the start of 2020. Those companies鈥 measured sales will appear under the statutory scheme in 2019 but the voluntary scheme in 2020.

Table 2 notes

Table 2, which is derived from unaudited quarterly sales reports and any audited annual sales reports received from members of the 2019 voluntary scheme, sets out aggregate information showing eligible sales covered by the scheme payment and the resulting scheme payments.

There are 2 columns of information:

  • column 1: aggregate eligible sales

  • column 2: resulting aggregate scheme payments due for the respective periods

鈥楨ligible sales鈥 is defined in the glossary of the 2019 voluntary scheme as 鈥渟ales of scheme products but excluding exemptions from eligible sales鈥. The percentage payment applies to these sales. Eligible sales excludes certain types of sales, including the first 拢5聽million of sales by a medium-sized company and new active substance (NAS) sales. Both of these sales categories are, however, included in measured sales and, therefore, the calculation of the overall sum to be repaid across all scheme members.

  2. In accordance with Annex 4, paragraph 34 of the scheme documentation, companies whose sales exceed (or fall below) 拢5 million between years, and so are included or excluded from measured sales of subsequent years, are excluded from the growth calculations.
