Introduction
Q4 2014
Welcome to CCC Investment Banking’s Healthcare Industry Review covering the fourth quarter of 2014. M&A Activity Levels – There were 105 announced or completed North American Healthcare transactions in the
fourth quarter of 2014 which is the industry’s second lowest quarterly total dating back to early 2012. This result
is slightly above the 101 total deals announced in the previous quarter, but well below the 148 deals in Q4 2013.
There were three Healthcare sectors that saw an increase in deal volume compared to the previous quarter with
the Services sector rebounding the most with an increase of 75% followed by Supplies at 22% and Technology at
13%. The two sectors to experience moderate declines in volume include the Facilities sector which dropped by
27% to 11 deals (its fifth quarterly decline in a row and lowest quarterly total since 2012) followed by Equipment
which fell by 24%. The Distribution sector remained unchanged with ten transactions for the third consecutive
quarter.
Overall Canadian M&A activity across all industries dipped to 267 change of control transactions in Q4 2014
which is a slight 1% decrease compared to Q3 2014 as well as a 5% decrease compared to Q4 2013.
Buyer Composition – There were nine announced Healthcare Private Equity (“PE”) deals in Q4 2014
representing 9% of the total deal activity in the quarter. This result falls directly in between the quarterly
average of eight for 2014 and ten for 2013 . There were also an additional six non PE financial transactions while
the remaining 90 deals were all completed by strategic acquirers.
Canadian Deals – There were five Canadian‐based Healthcare deals announced in Q4 2014 representing
approximately 5% of the North American Healthcare deal activity. This is surprisingly low compared to the
previous two year quarterly average which typically represents between 7% and 10% of the North American
Healthcare transaction volume.
Public Market Valuations and Profit Margins – The Healthcare market experienced strong gains in overall
market value. The CCC Healthcare Index increased by approximately 20.2% during Q4 2014 which follows a
minimal 2.4% gain in Q3 2014. This is a substantial increase when compared to the NASDAQ which rose by 9.1%
as well as the S&P/TSX which fell for the second consecutive quarter at 2.5%. Enterprise Value/EBITDA1
multiples in every subsector experienced an increase compared to Q3 2014 with the Supplies sector increasing
the most (+2.2x) followed by Equipment (+2.0x), Technology (+1.8x), Facilities (+1.1%), Distribution (+0.9%) and
Services (+0.9x). Overall profitability margins, as defined by sector median EBITDA1/Revenue, experienced an
increase in only the Equipment sector (+0.2%) while the Facilities (‐1.4%), Technology (‐1.0%) and Supplies
sectors (‐0.8%) all experienced declines. Both the Distribution and Facilities sectors remained unchanged.

• The study also speculates as to why Canadian patients left the country to pursue treatment elsewhere. The reasons include a lack of
available resources and equipment in their home jurisdiction; the desire for more advanced health care facilities and technology and long
wait‐times within the Canadian Healthcare system.
• Results were based on a physicians’ survey, which means patients who left the country without consulting a specialist are likely not
included in the estimates.

Canadian Banking and Private Equity Trends
Q4 2014
We are including some general Canadian PE and banking trends. Although some of the trends may not be specific to Healthcare, they are a barometer of M&A and financing activity in the general Canadian mid‐market.
Current Canadian Debt Terms
• Lenders continue to aggressively deploy capital into high quality deals. Outside of the quality of the borrower,
lenders differentiate deals by size, relationship & sponsored vs. standalone transactions.
• Incumbent lenders will often significantly improve their pricing and terms in competitive refinancing
situations.
• Large mid‐market deals can receive up to 4.25x (senior) / 6.00x (total) Debt / EBITDA; “typical” mid‐market
financings are up to 3.00x‐3.75x senior / 4.25x‐4.75x total Debt / EBITDA range. Senior debt is now up to 50%‐65%
of the capital structure.
• Senior pricing is at Bankers’ Acceptance (0.9% on 13/03/15) + 1.50%‐3.50% at moderate to high leverage.
Mezzanine pricing is at 12%‐17% total rate of return.
• Conventional senior debt will have a 3‐7 year amortization with a 3‐5 year term. Mezzanine debt is normally a
“bullet” with a 3‐5 year term.
North American Private Equity (“PE”) Trends
Healthcare
• PE firms participated in nine North American M&A transactions related to the Healthcare sector in Q4 2014 which is
slightly above the 2014 quarterly average of eight. This result is a 29% increase compared to Q3 2014 (seven
transactions) but a decrease of 40% compared to Q4 2013 (15 transactions). There were an additional six non PE
financial transactions.
General (1)
• Canadian buyout and PE transactions across all industries hit record levels in 2014. Control‐stake acquisitions,
growth‐related and other PE deals (announced and completed) totaled 410, a 23% increase over 2013. Volume for
Q4 2014 also increased to 105 transactions, up from 94 in Q3 2014.
• The value of disclosed transactions (announced and completed) totaled CAD$32.2B in 2014, more than tripling the
CAD$10.3B reported in 2013. Thirteen large‐cap deals sized CAD$500M or more captured 75% of all disclosed
disbursements, CAD$100M to CAD$500M took 15% and deals less than CAD$100M took the rest.
• The majority of Canadian transactions in 2014 (announced and completed) were based in Quebec (42%) followed by
Ontario (24%) and Alberta (19%). Due to several large‐cap deals, Ontario led market activity in disclosed deal values
taking just under half of all disbursements followed by Quebec and Alberta both receiving 23% of all disbursements.
• In the international market, Canadian funds led or participated in a total of 112 deals which were valued at
approximately CAD$44B. This compares to a total of 67 deals valued at CAD$19B reported in 2013. The United States
accounted for over three‐quarters of disclosed transaction values and two‐thirds of all deals. Most of the remaining
activity occurred in Europe and Latin America.
