Industry tailwinds as Government and Private Health Insurers push for more community based (as opposed to more expensive acute/hospital based) healthcare
Large Govt funding initiatives- CDC (community directed care), NDIS
Fragmented industry with few players of scale- ability to scale up and provide service to end clients who are themselves consolidating e.g. aged care industry
Demographics- aging population. Large shortages of allied health to high-dependency aged care facilities
Acquisition/roll out strategy to drive cross selling of services e.g. co-location of GPs with Physios/OT/podiatrists. Mobile podiatry business to service Homecare facilities, provision of further allied health services to current aged care podiatry clients
Experienced Chairman and CEO with healthcare background and roll up/out business model
Business vendors maintain equity in combined business to align interests
Relatively low capex intensity, high cash generating business, modest P/E
Ability to scale- 7.5-10% organic growth plus acquisitions
Pay too much for acquisitions- potential to lead to write down of large intangible balance
Continual large dilutive capital raises to fund acquisitions
Integration risk of large number of acquisitions and ability to cost-out e.g. IT, Admin/finance, consumables
Increasing competition for businesses, particularly homecare from Private Equity and large competitors e.g. Medibank Private new Health Solutions division: Healthstrong
Inability to break into Primary Care (GPs) in NSW to build community based model (lack of supply/price restrictions)
Changes to Govt funding models- CDC, NDIS, medicare
