Q3:15 Health Care M&A, By Sector
Health care M&A in the third quarter was quite robust, with 385 transations reported across 13 sectors. That’s a new record for any third quarter, by the way. We’ll have the full break-out in The Health Care M&A Report, Third Quarter 2015, due to be published by the end of this month. In the meantime, here’s how the sectors fared in Q3:15.

July’s combined transaction total hit 127 deals, up 2% compared with the bang-up month of July 2014, which had 124 transactions. The Services sector had a strong performance, accounting for 60% of deal volume. Long-Term Care made up 27% of the volume overall with 34 announced transactions. That equalled the record set last July for the sector, and will probably break it as more deals come to light. The Managed Care sector posted some extra activity, although seven deals versus two deals the month prior and a year ago isn’t moving the needle very high.

HealthSouth Corporation’s (NYSE: HLS) acquisition of Reliant Hospital Partners LLC for $730 million was a tremendous boost for the sector’s year-to-date spending, bringing the total to $85 million through June 12, 2015. But the real action, as always, is in the deal volume. In the same period, 12 acquisitions of rehabilitation facilities and occupational therapy clinics have been announced. Compare that to the same period in 2014, and only seven deals were reported, with just $11 million spent. Here are the three deals in 2015 with reported prices.

HealthSouth will assume the lease obligations of all the acquired hospitals. Based on the structure of the transaction, it expects to realize a tax benefit... Read More »Another Record Falls in Q1:15
Now that the month is officially over, we can report our preliminary Q1:15 results—and it was another record breaker, at least for transactions. The 346 deals logged so far are 109% higher than the first quarter of 2014. You would think that the $104.7 billion in combined spending would set another record, but no. In Q1:09, we tracked $127.2 billion spent on 202 deals. That’s when Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) bought Wyeth for $68 billion. Here’s the preliminary breakdown of Q1:15 — and remember, the spending is only for deals that disclosed prices. Read More »Schedule a demo
