6 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard Top world R&d investors continued to increase their investment efforts in research and development significantly (6. 2%)in 2012.
This happened in a global context marked by a general slow down of net sales growth (4. 2%vs. 9. 9%in 2011) and a decline in operating profits(-10.1%).
Scoreboard companies increased their R&d investments by an average 6. 2%per year (2010-2012). This resilience of companies'R&d investments during a period of economic uncertainty reflects the strategic importance that companies attach to such investment.
Figure S1 below shows the longerterm R&d trends for a subset of Scoreboard companies with available data for the past nine years.

focus in a challenging environment. Their R&d growth rate of 6. 3%in 2012 is above the 4. 3%growth rate of net sales,
in a context of sharp profit decreases(-18.4%).%)This R&d growth rate is lower than that of their US counterparts (8. 2),

The German carmaker Volkswagen, with 9. 5bn invested in R&d. Samsung Electronics from South korea jumps to the second place.
Despite lagging behind the US in the volume of R&d investments and in the number of companies, EU-based Scoreboard companies in the Software and Computer Services sector show very strong performance:
show very high increases in R&d investment and sales (14.2%and 11.3%respectively). The R&d growth rates of Volkswagen (32.1%),BMW (17.2%)and Robert Bosch (17%)determine a large portion of German and EU overall positive numbers.
10 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard Trends observed in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology subsectors illustrate well the reinforcement of the US specialisation towards high-tech intensive sectors.
the trend over the last ten years shows that the EU-US R&d investment gap in this sector is maintained (see figure S6).

The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard European commission, JRC/DG RTD. The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard 13 Introduction In 2013, we continued implementing changes in the EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard (the Scoreboard) 2 aiming to enhance its capacity to monitor
and analyse worldwide trends in industrial R&d. For background information on the Scoreboard please see Annex 1. The scope of the Scoreboard has improved progressively,
the total R&d investment of companies included in the Scoreboard is equivalent to more than 90%of the total expenditure on R&d by businesses worldwide3.
The main indicators, namely R&d investment, net sales, capital expenditures, operating profits and number of employees are collected following the same methodologies
which only accounts to end 2011 were available. 2 The EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard is published annually by the European commission (JRC-IPTS/DG RTD) as part of its Industrial Research and Innovation Monitoring
14 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard This report concentrates on the analysis of the world's top 2000 companies that all invested more than 22. 6 million in R&d in 2012.
these all have R&d investments exceeding 5. 2 million. The characteristics of the sample of 2000 companies used for most of the analysis are summarised in Table 1. The sector
and country composition of the EU 1000 sample is found in Annex 3. This edition shows that companies continued to increase R&d investments in 2012 at a significant pace, higher than the growth rate of revenues.
It provides an overview of the main indicators for the top 2000 companies ranked by level of R&d investment
Finally, chapter 6 presents an analysis based on data about foreign direct investments (FDIS) made by the Scoreboard companies.
The methodological approach of the Scoreboard, its scope and the limitations are The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard 15 described in Annex 2

especially when performing comparative analyses (full description of methodology is found in Annex 2): A typical problem arises
companies'consolidated accounts have to include the benefits and/or losses due to the appreciation and/or depreciation of their investments abroad.
For example, this year the R&d growth rate of companies based in the Euro area with R&d investments in Japan is understated partly because the'losses'of their overseas investments due to the appreciation of the Euro against the Japanese yen (from ¥100. 6
the R&d growth rate of Japanese companies is overstated partly due to the'benefits'of their investments in the Euro area.
consequently the approach taken in the Scoreboard is to attribute each company's total R&d investment to the country in which the company has registered its office.
which may have a significant impact on companies'investment decisions, and the initial adoption or stricter application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 5. 5 Since 2005, the European union requires all listed companies in the EU to prepare their consolidated financial statements according to IFRS (see:
) 18 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard 19 1. Worldwide trends in corporate R&d This chapter
This edition shows that companies continued to increase R&d investments in 2012 at a significant pace and well above the growth rate of revenues.
Trends observed show a significant variation of R&d investment and economic results across industries and sectors and important differences with respect to the previous year.
The 527 EU companies increased R&d investment and net sales by the significant figures of 6. 3%and 4. 3%respectively.
The largest increases in R&d investment in this group were reported by companies based in China (12.2),
this year's edition of the Scoreboard still shows a significant rise in worldwide R&d investment.
please see methodological limitations in Annex 2. 20 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard following the increase of 6. 1%in the year before.
Company results in terms of operating profits were mixed, 82%of the companies made profits and average profitability was 9. 2,
%however the remaining companies (18%)presented strong losses. Company investment in fixed capital continued to grow at a significant pace.
It increased by 9. 6%compared with the previous year's increase of 12.7%.%Capital expenditure as a percentage of net sales increased slightly from 6. 6%in 2011 to 7. 1%in 2012.7 Compound annual growth rate. 8 Fixed capital investment Table 1. 1 Overall

according to the location of their registered offices in the main world regions. The 2000 companies are grouped into four main sets:
The R&d investment and net sales for the 527 EU companies continued to grow at significant pace in 2012, at 6. 3%and 4. 3%respectively (slightly above the world's average of 6. 2%and 4. 2%respectively.
The group of US companies increased R&d investment significantly above the world's average, at 8. 2%but net sales only grew by 2. 9%compared with a strong increase in 2011.
increasing R&d investments and net sales only by 0. 4%and 3. 3%respectively. Companies based outside of the EU,
The largest increase in R&d investment was reported by the 93 companies based in China (12.2),
Compared with last year's Scoreboard (1500 top R&d investors), the EU companies'share of total R&d investment rose by 1. 2 (from 28.3%to 29.5%).
The average R&d intensity of the EU, US and OC companies increased due to a higher growth of R&d investments compared with the growth rate of net sales,
Companies based in the EU recovered substantial levels of investment (9. 8%growth) 22 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard compared with a slight decrease in the previous year.
whereas that of companies from the OC group increased at a more modest rate (5. 7%).Companies in three of the four regions decreased profits in 2012 with Japanese companies showing a 4. 2%increase
As a consequence of this, the profitability (operating profits as percentage of net sales) remained level for Japan,
but decreased a lot for the EU (the effect of a low growth rate of net sales can be offset by a lower growth rate of profits).
In the case of the US group of companies, the drop in profits partially reflects the major losses of General motors,
and technology hardware whereas the EU and Japan are stronger in medium R&d intensity sectors like the automotive sector (see chapter 4). Figure 1. 1 R&d investment by the top 2000

highlighting those presenting important changes from the previous year and those showing the best performance in terms of R&d and economic growth over the last 10 years.
Results of the top 100 companies, accounting for 54.6%of the total R&d investment by the 2000 companies, confirm the continued recovery of industrial R&d investment.
72 increased R&d investment (vs. 75 in 2011), including 30 companies with double-digit R&d growth;
%A number of the large increases are for companies that have made substantial acquisitions. 32 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard General trends In the 2013 Scoreboard 111 companies have an R&d
investment of more than 1. 0bn (31 from the EU and 40 from the US) while 55 have R&d exceeding 2. 0bn (18 from the EU and 21 from the US).
and account for 13.3%of the total R&d investment by the 2000 Scoreboard companies. This year, the top R&d investor is the German company Volkswagen ( 9. 5bn)
The top 100 companies invested 295.4 billion, accounting for 54.6%of the total R&d investment by all the 2000 Scoreboard companies,
Seventy-one companies in the top 100 have shown positive R&d investment growth. Among them, 30 companies had double-digit R&d growth
Among these, three companies decreased R&d investments and net sales by more than 10%:%Renesas, Japan; Nokia, Finland and Vale, Brazil.

by industrial sector This chapter presents the main R&d trends among Scoreboard companies aggregated by industrial sectors11.
It comprises the ranking of sectors by their level of R&d investment, R&d intensities, rates of R&d growth and the comparison of such trends across world regions.
Key findings Companies from three out of the top five sectors by level of R&d investment increased R&d above the world average of 6. 2%
namely Software & Computer Services (11.7%),Automobiles & Parts (8. 9%)and Technology Hardware & Equipment (8. 8%).The top R&d investing sector, Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology achieved a more modest
4. 1%increase of R&d. Other sectors that showed high R&d growth were the Industrial Engineering (9. 8%)and Health care Equipment & Services (8. 3%)sectors.
Companies based in the EU had the highest R&d growth in Automobile & Parts (14.4%),Software & Computer Services (14.2%)and the Industrial Engineering (12.3%)sectors.
Trends observed in the Scoreboard over the last 10 years show a characteristic sector specialisation by region.
%)The main R&d shares of those based in the US specialise in high R&d-intensive sectors, namely Technology Hardware & Equipment (25.2%),Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology (22.1%)and Software & Computer Services (18.2%).
represented by the share of sectors within the regions'total R&d investment, is given in figure 3. 2. R&d investment in the Scoreboard remains highly concentrated by sectors:
Out of 40 industrial sectors, the top three Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, Technology Hardware & Equipment and Automobiles & Parts account for 50.2%of the total R&d investment by the Scoreboard companies;
A similar concentration of R&d by industrial sector has been observed over the last 10 years. 11 According to the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) applied in the Scoreboard. 40 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Scoreboard The ranking
slightly increasing its R&d share of the total R&d investment which is now 18.1%.%It is followed by the Technology Hardware & Equipment sector with a share of 16.4%(similar to last year's 16.6%)and the Automobile & Parts sector with 15.7%,slightly higher than the 15.0%of last year.
The R&d specialisation (share of R&d investment) of the main regions in the top 3 sectors are:
the US contributes 74.4%to Software and Computer Services, 63.8%to Health care Equipment & Services and 54.0%to Technology Hardware & Equipment and;
The following points are observed for the top 15 sectors accounting for 92.1%of the total R&d investment of the Scoreboard companies:
Worldwide, the Software & Computer Services sector shows the highest one-year growth rate (11.8), %followed by Industrial Engineering (9. 8%),Automobiles & Parts (8. 9%)and Technology Hardware & Equipment (8. 8%)sectors.

and sectors using an aggregation of the 40 industrial sectors into four groups of high-,medium-high,
-medium-low-and low-R&d intensity (see Box 1. 1 in chapter 1). The worldwide and domestic distribution of the R&d investment by the 2000 Scoreboard companies shows clear
differences by world region, illustrating respectively the weight of the region in the world and its specialisation (See Table 3. 4):
Two sectors, Automobiles & Parts and Industrial Engineering, account for almost 70%of the total R&d investment of the EU's medium-high R&d intensity group.
Technology Hardware & Equipment and Software & Computer Services, account for almost 90%of the total R&d investment of the US's high R&d intensity group.

Health & biotechnology 2005-13 This chapter reviews the healthcare sector and focuses on therapeutic biotechnology and pharmaceuticals and analyses the role of the Scoreboard companies operating in this industry.
The demand for new medicines is growing due to rising and ageing populations and the increasing wealth of emerging nations.
At the same time technological advances in therapeutic biotech have opened up new opportunities. The big pharmaceutical companies have responded to these challenges first by pharmaceutical acquisitions to reduce costs
7%environment & industrial processing and 19.2%services (including technology services) The segmentation by region was The americas 45.4%,Europe 26.1%,Asia Pacific 26.1,
and the companies involved we need to describe the main features of the business environment in
which these major changes are occurring. 5. 2 The business environment for healthcare There are four major trends occurring in healthcare
which are driving changes in the whole business environment. These are: The increasing demand for healthcare due to ageing populations and the growing wealth of developing countries.
The proportion of the world population over 60 will more than double from 10%in 2000 to 21%in 2050.
Increased regulation and demands for proof of increased efficacy for new drugs have occurred as a response to safety concerns and rising costs.
The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard 59 The business response of the big pharmaceutical companies to the challenges of patent expiries, increased regulation, reduced R&d productivity (because of the increasing
sales and profits of both biotech and pharma companies in the Scoreboard from 2005 to 2012 and how these reflect the changes in the healthcare landscape
While global pharmaceutical companies have benefited from the increasing demand for new and better drugs, they have faced also a series of challenges over the last decade including increased regulation and CEA.

FDI is defined as an investment made to acquire lasting interest in enterprises operating outside of the economy of the investor.
Additional to having an equity capital or reinvested earnings in an enterprise, there are other ways in
which foreign investors may acquire an effective voice in the management of an enterprise. These include franchising, subcontracting, management contracts,
turnkey arrangements12, leasing, licensing and production-sharing. There are two types of FDIS used for market entry purposes:
the number of greenfield projects greatly surpasses the number of M&a projects (World Investment Report, UNCTAD, 2012).
Greenfield Foreign Direct Investments consist in the expansion of existing facilities or a direct investment in new facilities (in an area where no previous facilities exist).
Greenfield FDIS are the primary objective of a host nation's promotional efforts, as they create new production capacity
The EU attracts more technological intensive projects than resource-saving investments compared to the other economies.
the developer is hired to finish the entire project without owner input. 13 Sample corresponding to the 2012 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard edition. 14 Greenfield investment data is derived from the 2013 fdi
which accounts for more than 110,000 greenfield investment projects around the world for the period 2003-2011.
For the purpose of the analysis, intra-European FDIS and intrastate US investments are excluded. The breakdown of FDIS by activity and geographical area and the growth rates over the period of the different categories of investments (manufacturing, R&d and others) are presented in Table 6. 1. Greenfield FDIS in manufacturing activities represent the highest share
both in terms of value (60%of total capital investments) and number of projects (39%.%The shares for FDIS on R&d are 5%and 12%respectively.

This confirms the importance of such investments as drivers for knowledge enhancement. In the EU, this percentage reduces to 83%.
The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard, European commission, JRC/DG RTD. 16 The other types of FDIS are:
sales & marketing, retail, logistics, distribution & transportation, business services, headquarters activities, maintenance & services, ICT & internet infrastructures, education & training, extraction, customer contact
, electricity, technical support, shared services, construction, recycling. 74 The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Scoreboard Figure 6. 8 reports on the industries and regions that originate the highest volumes
As the graph shows, most of the investments in R&d (60%of the total capital investment of 97. 0bn) are concentrated in ICT (production and services), Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology,
The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard, European commission, JRC/DG RTD. The main actors of this knowledge-seeking type of investment are the US and EU, Japan mainly for the automobiles industry and Switzerland for ICT production and Pharmaceuticals.

R&d Investment Scoreboard 75 Annex 1-Background information The Scoreboard is part of the European commission's monitoring activities to improve the understanding of trends in R&d investment by the private sector
and the factors affecting it. It was created in response to the Commission's Research Investment Action Plan18,
which aims to help close the gap between the EU's R&d investment and that of other developed economies.
The annual publication of the Scoreboard is intended to raise awareness of the importance of R&d for businesses
and to encourage firms to disclose information about their R&d investments and other intangible assets. The data for the Scoreboard are taken from companies'publicly available audited accounts.
the company's whole R&d investment in the Scoreboard is attributed to the country in which it has registered its office19.
while BERD data are used primarily by economists, governments and international organisations interested in the R&d performance of territorial units defined by political boundaries.
which provides reliable up-to-date information on R&d investment and other economic and financial data, with a unique EU-focus.
Companies can use the Scoreboard to benchmark their R&d investments and so find where they stand in the EU and in the global industrial R&d landscape.
Investors and financial analysts can use the Scoreboard to assess investment opportunities and risks. 18 Investing in research:
the Scoreboard collects data from audited financial accounts and reports whereas BERD typically takes a stratified sample,
while the Scoreboard uses the ICB (the International Classification Benchmark). 21 According to latest Eurostat statistics.
government and business organisations can use R&d investment information as an input to policy formulation or other R&d-related actions.
The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard 77 Annex 2-Methodological notes The data for the ranking of the 2013 EU Industrial R&d Scoreboard (the Scoreboard) have been collected from companies
The R&d investment included in the Scoreboard is the cash investment which is funded by the companies themselves.
It excludes R&d undertaken under contract for customers such as governments or other companies. It also excludes the companies'share of any associated company or joint venture R&d investment when disclosed.
Where part or all of R&d costs have been capitalised, the additions to the appropriate intangible assets are included to calculate the cash investment
and any amortisation eliminated. Companies are allocated to the country of their registered office. In some cases this is different from the operational or R&d headquarters.
Companies are in industry sectors according to the NACE Rev. 222 and the ICB (Industry Classification Benchmark.
relies on disclosure of R&d investment in published annual reports and accounts. Therefore, companies which do not disclose figures for R&d investment
or which disclose only figures which are not material enough are included not in the Scoreboard.
Due to different national accounting standards and disclosure practice, companies of some countries are less likely than others to disclose R&d investment consistently.
The R&d investment disclosed in some companies'accounts follows the US practice of including engineering costs relating to product improvement.
and the impact of this practice is a possible overstatement of some overseas R&d investment figures in comparison with the EU. Where R&d income can be identified clearly
so that the R&d investment included in the Scoreboard excludes R&d undertaken under contract for customers such as governments or other companies.
This means a possible overstatement of some R&d investment figures in the Scoreboard for companies with directly R&d related income where this is not disclosed in the annual report.
The focus of the Scoreboard on R&d investment as reported in group accounts means that the results can be independent of the location of the R&d activity.
and Capex investment to be related to outputs such as Sales, Profit, productivity ratios and market capitalisation.
Further, the Scoreboard collects data from audited financial accounts and reports. BERD typically takes a stratified sample,
and the sectoral classification they use (BERD follows NACE, the European statistical The 2013 EU Industrial R&d Investment Scoreboard 79 classification of economic sectors,
while the Scoreboard classifies companies'economic activities according to the ICB classification). Sudden changes in R&d figures may arise because a change in company accounting standards.
For many highly diversified companies, the R&d investment disclosed in their accounts relates only to part of their activities,
whereas sales and profits are in respect of all their activities. Unless such groups disclose their R&d investment additional to the other information in segmental analyses
it is not possible to relate the R&d more closely to the results of the individual activities which give rise to it.
