Read MoreHide Full Article
NextGen Healthcare, Inc. acquired its long-time partner, TSI Healthcare — a privately held value-added reseller — for an upfront payment of $68 million. The amount will be paid in cash with contingent consideration of up to $22 million in cash in the form of an earnout, subject to achieving certain financial targets through Mar 31, 2025.
NextGen Healthcare had partnered with TSI Healthcare as one of its premier clinical content and technical services partners, specializing in comprehensive solutions for specialty physician practices. Both companies have been working together for more than 16 years as part of which TSI Healthcare developed specialty-specific solutions exclusively on NextGen Healthcare’s platform.
Significance of the Acquisition
TSI Healthcare’s services expertise along with NextGen Healthcare’s product and services is likely to further solidify the latter’s position in the ambulatory healthcare space. The addition of TSI Healthcare’s services will help NextGen Healthcare to expand its presence in key specialties, including rheumatology, pulmonology and cardiology.
The deal, which was closed on Nov 30, will be accretive to adjusted EBITDA and cash flow within a year. NextGen Healthcare expects TSI Healthcare to add approximately $10 to $12 million of revenues in the remaining four months of fiscal 2023. The company will provide further guidance on the deal on its third-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings call.
NextGen is a major player in the U.S. Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) market. It has been maintaining its strength among all ambulatory vendors in key RCM areas, which include effective claims processing, patient-facing support performance, the efficiency gained by customers, sustainability of pricing and trust as a business partner. Based on the popularity of the RCM solution, the company plans to expand into dental and hospital markets, which will further drive top-line growth in our view. This deal may also help the company to gain market share.
Industry Prospects
Per a report by MarketsAndMarkets, the global RCM market was valued at $40.9 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $67.8 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 10.6%. Factors like regulatory requirements, government initiatives to boost RCM adoption and increasing patient and health insurance are likely to drive the market.
Given the market potential, the latest acquisition of NextGen’s products is expected to significantly boost its business on a global scale.
Recent Developments
In October, NextGen reported its second-quarter fiscal 2023 results, registering a solid uptick in the top line and strength in Recurring revenues. The robust increase in Subscription services revenues and continued strength in the NextGen Office and Enterprise domains as well as in a host of surrounding solutions, such as mobile and telehealth, were also observed.
Last month, NextGen announced the newest release of its NextGen Behavioral Health Suite, built upon its NextGen Enterprise electronic health record (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) system. The suite is expected to be the industry’s first platform to integrate comprehensive physical, dental, behavioral health and human services. A federally qualified health center Oak Orchard Health had chosen NextGen Enterprise as its EHR and PM solution in the same month.
