ResMed (NYSE:RMD) said today that it agreed to pay $750 million to acquire MatrixCare and its post-acute-care software.
The San Diego-based respiratory care giant said it plans to fund the buyout, which represents a 25x EBITDA multiple, using its credit facility. Bloomington, Minn.-based MatrixCare put up sales of $122 million last year, ResMed said.
“The acquisition of MatrixCare is an excellent addition to the out-of-hospital software portfolio that we can offer our healthcare provider customers,” CEO Mick Farrell. “ResMed is the world’s leading tech-driven medical device company and is well positioned to be the leading out-of-hospital software provider in the market. With our portfolio including Brightree, HealthcareFirst and MatrixCare, we will streamline transitions of care, creating better outcomes for patients, caregivers, and out-of-hospital healthcare providers.”
“By establishing a technology footprint across these major care settings, ResMed will drive an integrated ecosystem of solutions, such as maintaining single-patient records across multiple care settings, generating analytics and insights that can be applied to individuals and whole populations, and streamlining processes for healthcare providers across the care continuum,” added ResMed software-as-a-service president Raj Sodhi.
“We’re thrilled to be part of a global healthcare leader that shares our mission, leveraging technology to improve the quality of life for seniors and those who care for them,” MatrixCare CEO John Damgaard said in a press release. “Out-of-hospital care today is incredibly fragmented, with those struggling to navigate across care settings, and providers often unable to assist. Like MatrixCare, ResMed’s software solutions smooth the path to faster, better care, and a smarter way for clinicians to do business. The entire MatrixCare team and I look forward to joining forces with them.”
ResMed said the deal, expected to close by the end of the year, is expected to immediately add to its adjusted earnings per share. All stock buyback activity is set to stop after the deal closes, the company added. MatrixCare is due to run as a standalone business within ResMed’s SaaS operation, with Damgaard reporting to Sodhi.
