General Environment: Medtronic takes advantage of several factors external to the medical
device industry in which it operates.
Demographic: The incidence of type 1 diabetes, which is ultimately fatal unless treated with
insulin, is increasing by about 3% per year (Aanstoot, 2007). Although injection is the most
common method of administering insulin, the insulin pump shown in Figure 1 in the Appendix is
a convenient replacement.
Social cultural: Although the incidence of chronic diseases like type 1 diabetes has increased,
patient lifestyle has become more active. Active diabetics prefer insulin pumps to traditional
injections because once they have attached the insulin pump they do not need to replenish it with
insulin for three days (Insulin, 2012).
Political/Legal: The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires medical device
companies to pay 2.3% excise tax, potentially preventing them from funding additional research
(Health, 2012).
Technological: Bluetooth and other wireless technologies enable medical device companies to
design insulin pumps that patients control remotely, allowing them to be discrete in public
places.
Economic: The high US unemployment rate has increased the number of uninsured, and without
insurance coverage, many people are unable to purchase needed medical devices (Landsbaum
2011). Medicare’s “competitive bidding” program requires patients to purchase their insulin
pumps from specific companies and to pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount and the
Original Medicare Part B deductible (Medicare, 2012).

3
Global: In 2010, global medical device sales totaled $164 billion and it is estimated that by
2015, sales will reach $228 billion (King, 2011). Demand in developing countries such as China
and India is growing at a higher rate than in developed countries.
Porter’s 5 Forces: There is a high level of competition, regulation, and capital investment
needed in order to succeed in the medical device industry. An innovative first-mover like
Medtronic benefits from the high barriers to entry that make the medical device industry
unattractive to potential entrants.
Potential Entrants- The threat of new entrants is low because patent protection results in a first-
mover advantage (Mehta, 2008). Furthermore, first-movers control significant market share
even after patent expiration due to brand recognition.
Suppliers: The power of suppliers is low because companies transform relatively common parts
into complex products. A device’s value is derived from its design and assemblage by skilled
knowledge workers.
Buyers: “Buyer power tends to be medium, since large purchases by hospitals or group
purchasing organizations can be offset by individual physician preferences at a hospital (Mehta,
2008).”
Competitors: Competition is high and a firm’s primary source of competitive advantage
depends on R&D investment and the ability to obtain regulatory approvals in a timely manner.

4
Substitutes- Substitutes include alternative medical therapies such as pharmaceutical and
biotechnology products. The threat of substitutes is low for most products, e.g. there is no
current replacement for a pacemaker.
Value Chain Analysis: The value chain diagram is depicted in Figure 2 in the Appendix.
In order for Medtronic to deliver products efficiently, Medtronic uses Lean Sigma operations and
manages all parts of its value chain.
Resource Based View: Medtronic’s strategic resources include its patents, researchers, strong
R&D and product development, goodwill, and use of cross-functional teams.
Business-Level Strategy: Medtronic pursues a combination low-cost and differentiation
business-level strategy. Key to Medtronic’s achievement of low-cost leadership is its experience
curve. Medtronic was founded in approximately 30 years before its major competitors entered
the medical device industry, allowing it to gain experience with production processes.
Medtronic has maintained its position through tight cost control of all activities in its value chain.
In early 2011 citing expected cost savings, Medtronic canceled five contracts with the GPO
Novation LLC. (Kamp, 2011). By forward integrating to negotiate directly with physicians and
hospital administrators Medtronic has eliminated a layer of cost to the consumer. Medtronic’s
low-cost strategy protects it from a potential price war with competitors and from powerful
buyers such as large hospitals who may demand price concessions.

5
While some of the more established product lines in the medical device industry, such as
pacemakers, may experience price compression in the near future, because a hospital can
purchase a similar device from multiple companies, each company has established relationships
with its customers, and while competitive, the products are not commodities. The learning curve
with each product and the perception that one product is safer and more effective creates
customer loyalty.
Corporate-Level Strategy: Medtronic’s corporate level strategy centers on related
diversification to achieve economies of scope. The medical device industry contains a diverse
range of products and each of Medtronic’s business units competes in a distinct sector of the
industry. Table 1 in the Appendix shows that Medtronic’s revenue is distributed across its
business units, and thus, the firm is protected against a downturn in one of its businesses. The
company has achieved synergy by sharing value-creating activities across its business units
including manufacturing facilities, distribution channels, and sales forces.
Medtronic initially sold only pacemakers, and thus, its initial core competencies were the
utilization of technologies used in pacemakers: sensors and electrical stimulation. Medtronic
applied its sensing and stimulation competencies to treat many conditions besides irregular
heartbeat, including Parkinson’s disease, chronic pain, and urinary incontinence. The company
has attempted to expand its core competencies to include tissue engineering, implantable
materials, drug delivery, catheter technology, batteries, navigation, biologics and information
technology. However, some of these ventures have diverged too far from Medtronic’s primary
expertise. Infuse, which was intended to stimulate the body to regrow bone was approved by the

6
FDA in 2002, and was Medtronic’s attempt to diversify its businesses to include biotechnology,
thereby protecting itself against this substitute product. “Allegations later surfaced, though, that
Medtronic was coaxing doctors to use it in ways regulators hadn't approved—such as in neck
surgery (Walsh, 2012).” In 2006, Medtronic paid $40 million to the Justice Department without
admitting any wrongdoing and in 2011 a review of the 13 original studies of Infuse found that
authors with financial ties to the company reported 10 to 50 times fewer complications with
Infuse than were found in FDA reports (Walsh, 2012).
Despite some failures Medtronic has mostly successful in using of a combination of authors with
financial ties to the company reported 10 to 50 times fewer complications to diversify into
businesses aligned with its core competencies. In 1977, Medtronic moved into cardiovascular
therapies when it established its Heart Valves Division and introduced the Medtronic-Hall
mechanical heart valve (Medtronic, 2010). The company has made numerous acquisitions
including Ardian, Inc., Jolife, PEAK Surgical, Inc. and Salient Surgical Technologies, Inc. in
2011.
Medtronic’s corporate-level groups include Medtronic International, Quality and Operations,
Strategy and Innovation, and Healthcare Policy and Regulatory. Each group helps to leverage
best practices, knowledge, and technologies across the company. For example, Strategy and
Innovation coordinates research and development capabilities across the entire company, and
evaluates growth opportunities to strategically allocate investment dollars.
Medtronic Financial Analysis

7
We used company financial statements, shown in Tables 2 and 3 in the Appendix, to compare
Medtronic and its major competitors. We examined ratios measuring profitability, management
effectiveness, and the balance sheet.
We examined Medtronic’s profitability by looking at profit margin and operating margin.
Medtronic’s profit margin is 22.53%, while its closest competitor, St. Jude Medical Inc., has a
profit margin of 13.67%. Medtronic’s operating margin is 28.48%, while its closest competitor,
Johnson and Johnson, has an operating margin of 25.58%. Medtronic’s high operating margin
indicates that a major contributor to its profitability is due to its operational effectiveness.
Managerial effectiveness was inferred by examining Medtronic’s return on assets (ROA), and
return on equity (ROE). Medtronic’s ROA of 8.99% is slightly lower than its leading
competitor, St. Jude Medical, which has an ROA of 9.31%. Medtronic has a ROE of 20.60%
while its closest competitor, St. Jude Medical, has an ROE of 16.48% showing that Medtronic’s
management provides a solid return on both assets and equity.
Other financial ratios were calculated using the companies’ balance sheets. Medtronic has the
lowest current ratio, 1.58, among its competitors but still maintains a healthy current ratio for its
industry. Its current ratio shows Medtronic has the ability to pay back its short term obligations,
and provides a positive financial outlook. Medtronic has a P/E ratio of 11.86 while St. Jude
Medical has a P/E ratio of 15.54 and Johnson & Johnson has a P/E ratio of 22.89. Medtronic’s
lower P/E and overall positive financial state indicates its stock may be undervalued.

8
Forecasting Medtronic’s Financial Statements
The medical device industry faces a 2.3% excise tax on medical devices. This tax will be
implemented starting in 2013. The tax will be levied on the total revenue of the company
whether it shows a profit or loss (MDMA, 2012). The tax will likely have a greater effect on
smaller companies within the industry due to economies of scope, and companies with lower
profit margins than Medtronic’s. The tax may reduce the creation of new jobs and stunt the
growth of the industry in the long run. Medical device companies do not generally have power
to pass a tax onto their customers as consolidation among healthcare providers and declining
reimbursement rates has led to increased competition on the basis of price (MDT 10-K, 2009).
An attempt to pass on the tax to customers may reduce Medtronic’s market share.
5 year prediction: In 2013 Medtronic will see a spurt of growth as it takes market share from
smaller companies unable to cope with the excise tax. Medtronic’s operating costs will increase
due to increased production, but they will be offset by sales growth. In 2014 Medtronic will
reduce its operating costs as its Quality and Operations group finds ways to improve efficiency.
Sales will increase less than in the previous year and the company will increase its long-term
investments and property, plant, and equipment as it acquires smaller companies and their
patents. In 2015 to 2017 the industry will stabilize after the excise tax leading to smaller but
stable growth for Medtronic. A more detailed forecast is shown in Tables 4 and 5 in the
Appendix.
Comparisons to other analysts: Yahoo.com estimates sales in 2013 to reach 16.45B, with a
high of 16.71B, and low of 16.29B. 2014 estimates of sales are 16.99B, with a high of 17.48B

9
and a low of 16.70B. Yahoo’s 2014 high level is our 2013 sales level. We expect Medtronic to
continue its current success in 2013 and turn the threat of the newly implemented excise tax into
an opportunity. Although our estimated sales levels are high compared to Yahoo.com,
Medtronic is in a solid financial position to capitalize on the changes affecting the medical
device industry.
Valuation: The discounted cash flow model indicates the intrinsic value of Medtronic’s stock is
$49.87, which is more than $41.16, the current share price as of 9/10/12, and suggests the stock
is undervalued. Our analysis of the company’s strategy and financial performance supports this
finding. Tables 6 through 10 explain the valuation in detail.
Medtronic is effectively positioned to continue its strategy of related diversification by
purchasing smaller companies experiencing losses as a result of the excise tax. Medtronic will
continue its own internal R&D, which it will support through improved cost control. This
combination approach will result in solid growth for the company over the next few years.

Figure 1: Insulin Pump. Medtronic offers the only FDA-approved integrated diabetes
management system consisting of an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and
therapy management software. An insulin pump is a small device about the size of a small cell
phone that is worn externally and can be discreetly clipped to your belt, slipped into a pocket, or
hidden under your clothes. It delivers precise doses of rapid-acting insulin to closely match your
body’s needs:
• Small amounts of insulin delivered continuously (24/7) for normal functions of the body
(not including food). This replaces your long-acting insulin.
• Additional insulin you program “on demand” to match the food you are going to eat or to
correct a high blood sugar.

Appendix
Table 4 (Cont.):
2013 - Revenue and Costs of Goods Sold: Based on the current industry environment, revenue is projected to increase 8%. Given the addition of an excise tax implemented in 2013, it is
estimated the tax will affect total revenue roughly 1% for 2013. The cost of revenue has typically been around 24% of total revenue. Given the effect on smaller companies and the
increased amount of sales, the percentage is estimated to increase to 25% of sales.
Operating Expenses: Research and Development typically ranges at 9% of total revenue. In 2013, this number is expected to decrease as a percentage to 8.6%, given the increase in
revenue. Selling and general admin is normally between 34-35% of total revenue, and is estimated to be 35% in 2013. Non recurring expenses are likely to occur in 2013, as the excise
tax goes into effect. Non recurring expenses are often unpredictable, so it is estimated $300,000,000 will occur in this year and is used every year thereafter. Other expenses range
around 2.05% of total revenue. Total operating expenses equal $788,212,000 and leave a total Operating Income of $5,046,041,000.
Medtronic’s interest expense is estimated to decline due to the company using increase cash flows to pay back company debt.
In 2013, the company finishes with a net income of $4,044,306,000. This is an 11.8% increase from 2012.
2014 - Revenue and Costs of Goods Sold: For 2014 Revenue is projected to increase 5%. This year, the excise tax is predicted to affect total revenue roughly 2% for 2014, due to the
expansion of international sales where no excise tax is implemented. The cost of revenue is estimated to be 24.5% of total revenue.
Operating Expenses: Research and Development typically ranges at 9% of total revenue. In 2014, this number is expected to increase to 9%, as the sales levels balance out. Selling and
general admin is estimated to be 35% in 2014. Non recurring expenses estimated the same again at $300,000,000. Total operating expenses equal $8,313,687,000 and leave a Operating
Income of $5,175,515,000.
Medtronic’s interest expense is estimated to decline again due to the company using increase cash flows to pay back company debt.
In 2014, the company finishes with a net income of $4,156,188,000. This is a 2.7% increase from 2013. This is consistent with the slowed growth of sales after a large burst in 2013.
2015 - Revenue and Costs of Goods Sold: For 2015 Revenue is projected to increase 5%. This year, the excise tax is predicted to affect total revenue roughly 2% for 2015, due to the
expansion of international sales where no excise tax is implemented. The cost of revenue is estimated to be 24.5% of total revenue.
Operating Expenses: Research and Development is expected to remain at 9% of total revenue. Selling and general admin is estimated to drop to 34.5% in 2015. Medtronic’s interest
expense is estimated to decline due to the company using increase cash flows to pay back company debt.
In 2015, the company finishes with a net income of $4,468,293,000. This is a 7.4% increase from 2014.
2016 – 2017 - Revenue and Costs of Goods Sold: Both years are estimated to increase sales by 3%. The excise tax will decline as a result of increased international revenue.
Operating Expenses: Research and development continues to be factored at a rate of 9% of total revenue, while selling and admin decline to 34%, as management finds more effective
ways to offset the excise tax.

Appendix
Table 5 (Cont.):
2013 - Medtronic is expected to increase sales in 2013 given the excise tax negatively affecting smaller medical device suppliers. Medtronic will capitalize on the shift in the industry,
and will have increased cash and cash equivalents by 15% of 2012 levels. Medtronic will also reduce its short term investments by 25%, as the company focuses on increasing
production and focuses efforts internally. Net receivables will increase by 15%, as the sales are expected to increase. Inventory levels will drop as the company capitalizes on increased
sales due to the economic condition on smaller companies. Other current assets continue to drop. Total current assets for the end of the year total $9,688,400,000.
Long term investments begin to increase towards the end of 2013 as Medtronic begins to expand operations. This includes the purchase of smaller companies being negatively impacted
by the excise tax. An estimated 7% increase in long term investments, as the company uses internal funding to expand. Property plant and equipment will increase in 2013 by an
estimated 5%, as the company begins purchasing smaller companies. Goodwill and intangible assets increases as well with the purchase of existing companies.
Current Liabilities decrease as a result of increased cash flow, and the reduction of accounts payable and long term debt, while stockholders equity increases due to the increase in total
assets.
2014 - In 2014, sales levels increase at a smaller rate. Medtronic’s activities include the increase in purchases of smaller companies, resulting in an increase in total assets. Net
receivables drop as a result of sales leveling off, and inventory levels increase. In 2014, total current assets reach a level of $9,799,350,000.
In order to continue the purchase of smaller companies in 2014, Medtronic will have to borrow money in the form of debt. It is estimated short/current long term debt increases by 5% in
2014. Long term debt increases by 3% and other liabilities remain at the 3 year average.
2015 - Growth in sales levels continue, leading to an increase in cash and cash equivalents. Net receivables increase, as well as inventory. This leaves a total for current assets in 2015 to
be $9,951,344,000.
Long term investments continue to increase by 5% in 2015 with the continued purchasing of smaller companies and the expansion of overseas production. We estimate continued
growth of property plant and equipment and goodwill.
2016-2017 - Sales growth continues, but at a smaller rate as shown on the income statement. Investment activities also slow as a result of other large companies purchasing the ailing
small companies, reducing the options for further expansion domestically. By 2016, it is estimated most of the smaller companies affected by the excise tax will have been purchased, or
positively rebounding into turning a profit.
Medtronic is likely to continue increasing its short and long term debt as a result of expansion into foreign soil. Expanding overseas reduces the impact of the excise tax, and is the next
move in Medtronic’s strategy.

Table 9: The year 1 growth rate is determined using the Sustainable Growth Rate model. Data is in USD $ in millions.
1. Tax rate = 100 × Provision for income taxes ÷ (Net earnings + Provision for income taxes) = 100 × 730 ÷ (3,617 + 730) =
16.79%
2. Interest expense, after tax = Interest expense × (1 – Tax rate) = 349 × (1 – 16.79%) = 290
3. EBIT(1 – Tax Rate) = Net earnings + Interest expense, after tax = 3,617 + 290 = 3,907

4. RR = [EBIT(1 – Tax Rate) – Interest expense (after tax) and dividends] ÷ EBIT(1 – Tax Rate) = [3,907 – 1,311] ÷ 3,907 =

5. ROIC = 100 × EBIT(1 – Tax Rate) ÷ Total capital = 100 × 3,907 ÷ 27,746 = 14.08%
