12Current perspective on private equity healthcare
investing
- Private equity is targeting the healthcare sector
to seek protection from the economic slowdown.¹ - In Europe, total private equity deals in the
sector jumped to first place from third place, in
part as the result of an aging population in
Europe a growing demand for private healthcare
and the prospect of big contracts from the UK
government as it outsources more health services
to the private sector.¹ - US healthcare private equity deals have also
seen an 85 increase from 1H2007 to 1H2008.² ³ - In the mid-market, the healthcare sector is
expected to produce the highest returns for its
investors among all sectors. A survey by UK
mid-market buyout firm August Equity LLP in April
2008 revealed that 17 of respondents think the
healthcare sector will perform the best in terms
of private equity deals, ahead of energy, mining
and utilities.¹ - Private equity firms are also looking beyond
traditional healthcare for opportunities. One of
the areas is home healthcare. There have been
five home healthcare private equity deals so far
in 2008, leading by Blackstones 1.6 billion
acquisition of Apria Healthcare Group.4 - Other sub-sectors that are of particular interest
to PEs include medical and information
technology, healthcare services and
pharmaceuticals. - Other noteworthy deals in the healthcare space
include - ConvaTec, one of Bristol-Myers Squibbs three
divisions, was sold in May to a PE consorttium
led by Avista Capital Partners (4.1bn).5 - Apaxs acquisition of TriZetto Group, a US-based
healthcare software company (1.4bn, April 2008). - In the largest deal in Russia to date, TPG paid
800m for a 50 stake in SIA International, a
company that distributes pharmaceuticals in
Russia (April 2008).6 - Sources (1)Health care as a haven - sector

15What will the future bring?
16Outlook for the rest of 2008
- IPO backlog finding extreme difficulty in the
public markets - Public investors will continue to be choosy,
seeking companies with predictive revenues and
profitability - Companies and investors will have to fund and
nourish companies for longer periods of time - Market volatility will result in delays for how
long is anyones guess - MAs will continue to be the exit of choice for
most private companies - 3 IPOs (114.7 million raised) in H1 2008 vs. 7
IPOs (712 million) in H1 2007 - VCs stay at the table
- Look for VCs to increase focus on aesthetics,
neuro, surgical tools, ortho (spine) and
ophthalmics - Biotech investors will increasingly look to
medtech companies to balance their biopharma
portfolios - Investors must plan exits more carefully to
create maximum valuationsare there enough exits? - Continuation of strategic consolidations and
increased carve-outs - Ample supply of willing buyersmore activity from
non-traditional players (mid-tiers, PE) - Large medtech companies have businesses that
dont meet their core goalsprofitability or
product - PE will remain an active participant, but large
club deals will be limited - Biomet club deals will be limited - expect to see
more single-sponsor acquisitions below 1.5B - Alternative financing may become more prevalent
- Hedge funds, institutional private equity, and
insurance companies may be new sources of equity - Increased regulatory and legal scrutiny
- Product safety, longer approvals, global
expansion, reimbursement, sales marketing
practices, etc.
