Research
At the forefront of Washington's biotechnology and medical device industry
are companies that are publicly traded on U.S., Canadian and European
stock exchanges or are subsidiaries of larger corporations with access to capital.
In 2005, the twenty-two publicly traded firms headquartered in the state. Thirty-three
or 15 percent of the firms are subsidiaries of other U.S. firms or are subsidiaries
of foreign based corporations. Notably, seventy-four percent of the total companies in
Washington are privately owned, and seventy percent of the companies employ fewer than
fifty people.
Industry consolidation, which has significantly impacted Washington State's
biotechnology and medical device industry, continued in 2005 with the acquisition
of Corixa Corp. and ID Biomedical by GlaxoSmithKline, Quinton Cardiology Systems
merger with Cardiac Science, and the ProCyte Corp. merged with PhotoMedex.
Given that these companies are now subsidiaries of larger companies, individual
firm revenue and income data are no longer available. Consequently, the following
will focus on the publicly traded biotechnology firms headquartered in Washington
State where historical revenue and income data are readily available.
Revenue
As a whole, the state's publicly traded biotechnology and medical device firms reported
aggregated revenue of $294 million a decline of 27 percent or a $106 million decrease from
reported revenue of $400 million in 2004. Individually, only five of the eighteen
biotechnology and medical device companies where data was available reported an increase
in revenue: Cell Therapeutics, Helix Biomedix, Seattle Genetics, SonoSite and ZymoGenetics.
SonoSite, a device company, lead the group with revenue of $115.8 million and ICOS, a
biotechnology company, reported revenue of $74.6 million.
It is important to note this data exludes revenue and income data from more
than a dozen local companies that have been acquired or merged with companies
from outside the state, many of which were leaders in their fields, such as
ATL Utrasound, Heart Technology, Physio-Control and Immunex. For example,
Immunex the largest biotechnology company in the Pacific Northwest, acquired by
Amgen in 2002, reported revenue of $861 million in 2002 largely on sales of
Enbrel® (etanercept) initially used for treating rheumatoid arthritis.
This also excludes revenue and income data from more than 200 small- and medium size
private companies, where data is not publically available.
