Q2-Q3 | 2017 HEALTHCARE

Deal Values Remain High Led by Active Strategic Buyers and Private Equity Groups

M&A transaction values have continued to increase across all

subsectors of the healthcare industry in North America, alt-

hough the number of transactions decreased 2.8% in the

TTM (trailing 12 month) period compared to the comparable

period in 2016, which translates into more large deals. Total

investment dollars in healthcare M&A transactions in Q2 and

Q3 were bolstered by several trends including consolidation

transactions, generally higher asset values, and an above aver-

age number of large (greater than $1 billion) transactions.

Public companies, large strategic buyers, and private equity-

backed strategic buyers have been the most acquisitive in Q2

and Q3, and each are utilizing consolidation strategies. Strategic

acquirers in healthcare services, such as health systems, have

historically utilized M&A to build scale and accelerate regional

expansion. Hospital systems in 2017 are merging to streamline

service delivery and reduce costs related to effective care. Con-

solidation in the Medical Equipment subsector had also been

prevalent in Q2 and Q3, generating many large transactions, as

buyers seek products and technologies to expand or comple-

ment existing product portfolios. Overall, the proportion of

M&A transactions by subsector has remained mostly stable. Q2

and Q3 did see increases in deal activity for the Medical Equip-

ment and Healthcare Technology & Consulting subsectors of

12.7% and 0.3%, respectively.

Acquisition strategies for financial buyers and private equity-

backed strategic buyers also include consolidation. Financial

buyers seek to build scale and are increasingly focused on niche,

fragmented submarkets of the healthcare industry, such as be-

havioral health providers. The amount of “dry powder” from

private equity buyers and the need to deploy funds have in-

creased asset values and transaction multiples in Q2 and Q3,

which remain at historically high levels. These activities combine

to create a “sellers’ market.”

The majority of transaction activity in the healthcare industry during the last twelve months and in Q2 and Q3 of 2017 oc-curred in three primary sub-sectors. Healthcare Technology & Consulting (37.4%), Medical Equipment (27.9%), and Medical Diagnostics (19.7%) accounted for 85% of all announced and completed transactions in the healthcare industry during the last twelve months.

As evidenced in the table below (“Select Transaction Multi-ples”), transaction values across key sub-sectors of the industry continue to trend higher as strategic consolidators aggressively bid for quality acquisition targets, often paying a premium with respect to historical averages. The average reported EV/EBITDA

multiple for publicly held healthcare companies increased over the last 12 months compared to 2016. This growth further high-lights the willingness of the market to aggressively pursue high quality targets in both public and private sectors, despite mounting regulatory and tax uncertainties.

Strategic and private equity-backed operating companies ac-counted for the majority of transaction activity during the last twelve months (88.5%, slightly up from 88.6% during 2016). These buyers continue to utilize M&A as a primary driver of val-ue creation for shareholders by increasing scale, service delivery capabilities, technological advances, and market exposure through targeted acquisitions.

Noteworthy Home Health & Hospice Care Transactions | Q1 - Q2 2017 (continued)

The outsourced medical staffing subsector of the healthcare services industry saw a number of transactions from strategic buyers in Q2 and Q3 2017, continuing a trend from the second half of 2016 and Q1 2017. Two public companies, Mednax and Envision, have unquestionably been the most acquisitive in 2017, with five acquisitions each. Acquisitions by these large staffing businesses also include specialty service practices. American Healthcare Staffing Group also made two acquisitions in Q2 and Q3, with backing from the private equity firm BelHealth Investment Partners. In addition to strategic buyers and private equity-backed strategic buyers, financial buyers such as Harren Equity, TPG Growth, and Platform Partners have also made investments in the space.

Since the passing of the Affordable Care Act, healthcare labor shortages have become a major concern for institutions. Healthcare delivery organizations struggling to properly staff facilities are increasingly turning to third-party staffing compa-nies for human capital. Healthcare labor shortages span the breadth of credentialed clinicians, including doctors, nurses, therapists, technicians, and others.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is predicting significant increases in the staffing shortage by 2025. Buyers are looking to acquire companies with access to staff to support their clients and is-sues related to the labor deficit. In addition to qualified employ-ees, buyers are seeking to expand service portfolios. With the increasing specialization of healthcare, staffing companies must offer clients a diverse array of credentialed professionals.

According to SIA, the U.S. medical staffing industry is expected to grow 7.0% in 2017. M&A transactions in the Medical Staffing subsector reflect this growth. Healthcare staffing transactions are on pace to exceed 2016, and attractive M&A valuations are pulling acquisition targets into the market. According to Capital IQ, public healthcare staffing companies’ average EBITDA multi-ple exceeds general staffing firms by almost an entire turn of EBITDA.

Continued deficiencies in the supply of credentialed medical professionals and increasing specialization of the workforce should lead to a robust M&A market for the remainder of 2017 and 2018 in the Healthcare Staffing subsector.

Staffing deficits in the healthcare industry are historically sup-plemented by healthcare staffing companies. The flexible nature of contract employees allows healthcare providers to match supply and demand. However, when medical professionals are not available, in rural areas for example, telemedicine can be used to supplement traditional healthcare service providers. The use of telemedicine provides access to services that were previously unavailable, and further contributes to market effi-ciencies and maximization of resources. Two leaders in this rap-idly growing space are Teladoc and Best Doctors.

Teladoc, the country’s first and largest telehealth platform, offers on-demand healthcare services to 20 million subscribers. Patients connect with physicians and behavioral health profes-sions to diagnose and treat conditions using digital devices and the Internet.

In 2017, the company is poised to reach revenue of $231-$233 million and has achieved an 80% CAGR since 2013, including year-to-date results. Growth, in part, will be due to the $440 million acquisition of Best Doctors.

With the acquisition of Best Doctors, Teladoc will command 75% of the telehealth market share. Best Doctors will account for approximately $100 million in revenue. Strategic ramifications are much more significant, including:

• Global Access: Best Doctors operates in 100 countries and generates 40% of revenues outside of the United States.

• Best Doctors’ network of doctors exceeds 50,000 and offers 450 specialties.

• Expanded Primary Care Services: Best Doctors will help ex-pansion into behavioral health, dermatology, tobacco cessa-tion, and sexual health.

• IBM Watson Deal: Best Doctors formed an agreement to utilize Watson (the supercomputer) for oncology clinical decision support.

• Profitability: The combined entities will have a higher reve-nue per subscriber, which will help Teladoc achieve break-even status.

This merger will aid Teladoc’s continued dominance of the tele-health market. From a global perspective, the convergence of traditional healthcare services and technology will help healthcare service organizations to treat patients more effec-tively and efficiently while reducing delivery costs.

You have had a lot of involvement with PE backed companies.

Please describe how you got involved with private equity groups

(PEGs).

As a senior executive at MedSource Technologies, which was PE

backed, we went public and then got bought out by private equity

again. I worked with several PEGs during that time. Afterwards,

many of the executives that I worked with went on to lead private

equity backed medical device focused companies, as did I.

Please describe your roles working with PEG backed companies,

particularly in the medical device or contract manufacturing in-

dustry, which you have considerable experience.

I have been a CEO of PEG backed companies, where there was a

desired or needed transition from the legacy CEO or owner. I have

also been a board advisor, where I have operated as a board mem-

ber to mentor and assist the existing executive team. I can also

function as an outside consultant through my firm, Acceleration

Medtech.

Can you give some specific examples of the impact you have had

from your involvement in businesses acquired by PEGs?

In several of the companies that I have worked with, either as a

CEO or a board member/advisor, there was a need to move them

from a “capabilities” company, such as extrusion, or molding, or

precision machining, to a more market facing and product specific

company that supports its market-specific customers. Understand-

ing end applications of the components the company is making,

allows them to exert greater control over innovation and makes

the customers believe you are the product experts in your field. I

have been instrumental in helping that strategic evolution occur as

well as supporting more operating specific tasks such as technology

assessment, M&A and Business Development, LTA contract negoti-

ations, developing a direct sales force, globalization and site assess-

ment, becoming ISO 13485 certified, etc.

It seems that founder/owners or second/third generations transi-

tioning out of their companies, whether at closing or over time,

would greatly benefit by having your deep expertise involved in

their medical related company, particularly as part of a private

equity owned platform?

Each situation is unique, with respect to succession planning and

estate planning needs. And their exit possibilities are very varied. I

strongly recommend to founder/owners and private businesses

that they engage an advisor in some capacity well before they are

thinking of a liquidity event to better understand their options and

how best to position themselves to address those options. Many

private business owners are less familiar with private equity, and

may shortchange themselves, and their shareholders, by not fully

exploring this option. Having alignment due to equity ownership,

coupled with the accelerated pace of Private Equity involvement,

allows me to help those companies accomplish a great deal in a

short amount of time with the knowledge and experience of having

done much of this before. In addition, the opportunity to rollover

equity, the so-called “second bite of the apple” approach is often
