CDT Roundup: 13 Deals, 9 Firms, 81 Lawyers, $14.8B

November 15, 2022 Claire Poole

The CDT Roundup has seen an increasing number of healthcare deals – note the top one below, VillageMD’s acquisition of Summit Health-CityMD for an eye-popping $8.9 billion (Dallas lawyers for Sheppard Mullin were part of VillageMD’s deal team). We have also witnessed Texas law firms recruiting attorneys with an expertise in the sector (see Greenberg Traurig’s recent hire).

It’s with good reason. There’s a lot of activity in the healthcare industry these days, what with our ever-aging population, the move online with everything from electronic charts to virtual visits (thanks Covid) and physician-led practices continuing to sell out to private equity firms.

In fact, healthcare services is the largest vertical within PE healthcare investing, accounting for roughly 10 percent of PE buyout and growth deals overall in 2022, according to a new report by PitchBook.

Indeed, U.S. PE deal activity in healthcare services has remained resilient so far this year. Estimated deal count through Q3 2022 – 725 transactions – already exceeds 2020’s full-year figure (721) as well as 2019’s, 2018’s and 2017’s.

In Texas there were 69 M&A healthcare-related transactions during those first three quarters.

However, the industry faces growing headwinds, PitchBook said. Staffing shortages are squeezing virtually every type of healthcare services organization, increasing costs and inhibiting growth.

“The financial strain is most acute for hospitals, which have significant fixed costs due to facility overhead, and which had little time to regroup financially after the worst of the pandemic abated,” the report said. “Also heavily affected are healthcare organizations that rely on low- or moderately skilled care providers and operate on lower per-visit margins, such as home care agencies, applied behavior analysis therapy clinics, and group homes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.”

Despite these challenges, many lower-middle-market platforms are still growing aggressively, and where multiples have relaxed, they have done so only slightly—to pre-pandemic levels, according to the report. And while reimbursement and staffing cost pressures have prompted buyers to more closely scrutinize quality of earnings and forward EBITDA projections, they have also continued to push independent practice sellers into the market. So look for more deals in this space.
