Spacelabs Healthcare To Acquire Cardiac Business From Ferraris Group Plc.OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) announced today that its subsidiary, Spacelabs Healthcare, Inc., has entered into a stock purchase agreement with Ferraris Group plc (Ferraris) to acquire Del Mar Reynolds Limited and Del Mar Reynolds Medical, Inc. (collectively, DMR) representing Ferraris Cardiac Division.
Under the terms of the agreement, Spacelabs will pay Ferraris approximately 14 million ($25.5 million), subject to an adjustment of plus or minus 1 million ($1.8 million) based upon revenue and EBITDA results for DMR for the 13 month period ended September 30, 2006. In addition, there is a further earn-out provision whereby Spacelabs would potentially pay Ferraris up to 5 million ($9.1 million) if DMR achieves certain revenue targets in fiscal 2007. Any further earn-out shall be satisfied, at Spacelabs' discretion, either in cash or by the allotment and issue of Spacelabs stock.
Spacelabs intends to finance the proposed acquisition through a senior credit facility.
Del Mar Reynolds is a global developer, manufacturer and seller of cardiac monitoring systems including Holter recorders, ECG, Stress Systems and related software and services under the trading names, Del Mar Reynolds, Hertford Cardiology, and Hertford Medical. In addition, DMR operates a Core Lab business that provides clinical trial services to pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations.
OSI Systems CEO, Mr. Deepak Chopra, stated, We look forward to welcoming the customers, vendors and employees of DMR into Spacelabs Healthcare. We believe DMR will be a positive contributor to the growth plans of Spacelabs as we provide added scale to expand DMRs sales opportunities. The acquisition would allow us to broaden upon our patient monitoring product offering within the hospital market while essentially doubling the size and geographic presence of our Clinical Trials business. This transaction reaffirms our commitment and strategy to aggressively grow our business.
Mr. Chopra, further commented, We are extremely pleased with the performance of our healthcare business and expect that our fiscal 2006 healthcare revenue will grow at a double digit rate driven primarily by the strong operating performance of our patient monitoring business in the U.S. market. As a result, we anticipate strong bottom line growth compared to the prior year.
Spacelabs expects that the proposed acquisition will provide the following benefits to its overall operations:
- Expanded product offerings to the hospital market:
DMRs cardiac monitoring systems can be marketed to hospitals in conjunction with Spacelabs core products of patient monitoring solutions and anesthesia delivery systems.
- Integration of IT components among product lines:
The product lines of both Spacelabs and DMR include advanced IT components, providing opportunities for enhanced connectivity between product lines.
- Strengthened geographic presence in the UK and German markets:
DMR is a leader in both the UK and Germany in cardiac monitoring markets; its presence and connections to hospitals in these markets is expected to augment Spacelabs ongoing sales efforts in these territories.
- Enhanced Core Lab business for clinical trials:
Both Spacelabs and DMR operate clinical trials core lab service businesses (Spacelabs operating primarily in the U.S. market and DMR operating primarily in the European market); in combination, they expect this business to achieve greater critical mass.
- Synergistic savings
Synergies are expected to be realized by leveraging upon Spacelabs existing global sales and distribution channels and through utilization of its manufacturing capabilities, global supply chain and existing support infrastructure.
According to the unaudited financial information provided by Ferraris, DMR generated sales of 21.2 million ($38.6 million) with earnings before depreciation and amortization of 3.8 million ($6.9 million) and profits before taxation of 1.8 million ($3.3 million). As at 31 August 2005 the total assets attributable to DMR were 28 million ($51 million) including goodwill of 18 million ($32.7 million). In the six months ended 28 February 2006, DMR generated sales of 9.8 million ($17.8 million) with reported earnings before depreciation and amortization of 0.4 million ($0.7 million) and a loss before taxation of 40,000 ($73,000). The Company expects that once the identified synergies and efficiencies have been realized the acquisition of DMR will be accretive to the Company.
The proposed transaction is subject to Ferraris receiving shareholder approval and other customary closing and regulatory conditions.
