PE CONTINUES TO SNATCH UP HEALTHCARE SERVICES COMPANIES FOR ROLL-UP PLAYS

By Madeline Shi
November 28, 2022

The healthcare services sector has continued to attract private equity investors
this year. While opportunities for platform acquisitions have shrunk, relatively
steady add-on activity suggests PE investments are still fueling the
consolidation trends in this highly fragmented segment.

Private equity firms and PE-backed companies struck an estimated 725 healthcare
services deals during the first three quarters of 2022, according to PitchBook's
latest Healthcare Services Report. That's already higher than 2020's tally, but
the pace is unlikely to surpass last year's record, which was an anomaly, said
PitchBook PE analyst Rebecca Springer, who authored the report.

PE deal activity in healthcare services overall stayed robust. Add-ons, which
have always accounted for the largest portion of deal activity in the sector,
were in line with historical levels. At the same time, growth investments
remained strong, with investors having already completed 73 deals in the first
three quarters, according to PitchBook data.

However, the number of platform acquisitions fell short of the figures recorded
for previous years: Only 43 platform deals were struck through Q3, about 6% of
all PE deal activity, PitchBook data shows.
 
 


PE firms have held back from auctioning their platform companies as they face
rising market uncertainties, valuation declines and difficulty in price
discovery, Springer said.

"A firm isn't going to bring a platform to the market if they don't think that
they will get a fair value for it, or if there's a lot of market
uncertainty," she said.

In contrast, those same market conditions can push small healthcare players to
seek buyers. For instance, small, independent medical practices are more
motivated to sell themselves to a PE-backed platform when they face margin
pressures and operating challenges, Springer said.

Looking ahead, cash-rich PE investors are expected to continue to pump money
into the healthcare services industry, which is typically considered more
recession-resistant.

There will be exceptions, though. Certain segments, such as nursing homes, home
healthcare and behavioral health, may experience a relatively slowing pace of
dealmaking, as they face headwinds ranging from staffing shortages to
reimbursement pressures. Investors will take longer to find new valuations amid
such factors, Springer said.
