EQuIP bridges a risk gap not covered in standard property insurance covers for the pharma industry
Earnings Quality Insurance Protection (EQuIP) is a cutting edge solution for biopharma and medical-device companies. It mitigates the financial impact of a major interruption, bridges the liquidity gap, and protects shareholders’ value. The comprehensive and clear non-damage business interruption cover takes a flexible approach – a must when addressing the needs of a market shaped by complex supply chain dependences.
3 questions to ask yourself in the face of non-damage business interruption challenges:
As my supply chain becomes more outsourced and complex, do I have business interruption risks that I can’t control and that are not covered under my traditional insurance?
Does my dependency on the regulatory compliance of third-party suppliers put my company’s results at greater risk when it comes to delivering on forecasts to shareholders
Is there a risk transfer solution that can help me bridge my company’s liquidity gap when dealing with own manufacturing disruption due to GMP non-compliance?

A real-life event – and how EQuIP could have helped
A company was forced to initiate a nation-wide voluntary recall of one of its injectable drugs as a result of potential contamination with glass particles. Fill and finish of the product had been outsourced to a third party CDMO, whose facility received an FDA warning letter citing GMP failures in producing drugs to required specification and preventing microbial contamination
The outcome:
- 3 million vials being recalled
- Significant revenue impact as all sales of injectable products were suspended whilst root cause was identified and remediated
- Another pharmaceutical company was also forced to recall products manufactured at the same CDMO facility
How EQuIP could have helped
EQuIP would have bridged the gap in lost earnings incurred by this pharmaceutical company. It would also have covered the recall costs and other extra expenses.
