MERGER & ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
The Healthcare Services industry reported strong M&A activity in 2015 across four major
sectors: Ambulatory Facilities, Assisted Living & Elderly Care, Home Health & Hospice Care
and Physician Practices. After 2014, which had multiple blockbuster deals including
Brookdale’s $5.4 billion acquisition of Emeritus and Kindred’s $1.8 billion acquisition of
Gentiva, focus has shifted back to the middle market. There has been increased

consolidation amongst strategic players, as
companies look to expand both their
geographical reach and service offering.
Overall, strategic acquisitions dominated
M&A in 2015, accounting for 84% of deal
activity vs. 76% in 2014. Supporting this
trend are record high debt multiples that
reached 4.0x in 2015, reflecting an
abundance of available and affordable
financing to buyers. Financial acquirers are
attracted to the Healthcare Services industry
because of the opportunity surrounding an
aging population and rising healthcare
expenditures.INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Demand for healthcare services will remain strong in 2016, driven by the availability of
affordable healthcare, an aging population and a declining unemployment rate. The
outlook for Healthcare Services remains largely positive, reflecting similar prospects within
the broader $2.9 trillion US Healthcare market. Technology will continue to drive
efficiency and new opportunities for all sectors, expanding the possibilities of
personalized and preventative care.

INDUSTRY DRIVERS AND TRENDS
Technological innovation, population demographics and healthcare reform will
drive growth in the Healthcare Services industry in 2016, as detailed below.
An aging population creates demand for services – According to the US
census bureau, the percentage of people over the age of 65 grew from 13.0%
to 14.5% in 2014. In fact, over the past 50 years, the share of the population
that is over 65 has increased each census, with the average median age rising
from 29.5 in 1960 to 37.2 in 2010. This trend has driven higher levels of
demand, as this demographic is more likely to utilize healthcare services. As
baby boomers age and near retirement, the number of people over the age of
65 is projected to account for approximately 20% of the population by 2030,
driving demand to unprecedented levels.
Growth in private health insurance – Over the past few years, healthcare
reform has increased the number of people with private insurance, thus
driving growth within the industry. According to Gallup-Healthways’ Well
Being Index, the percentage of privately insured individuals rose from 61.8% at
the end of 2013 to 64.4% in 2015. Under the Affordable Care Act, the number
of individuals with healthcare coverage is forecasted to increase by 2.8 million
in 2016 and 1.9 million in 2017. Ultimately, 32.0 million previously uninsured
individuals are forecasted to gain coverage by 2019.
Advances in telemedicine and other technology will increase availability
and drive cost savings – Telehealth has been growing at an astronomical
34.1% annual growth rate since 2010 due to convenience, cost benefits and a
shortage of doctors. Recently, adoption of telehealth services has been
propelled by improvements in wearable medical technology and
communication equipment. Looking forward, Capstone expects telehealth to
drive growth within the Healthcare Services industry.
Rising disposable income makes healthcare more affordable – As
disposable income rises, the number of people who can afford private health
insurance and out-of-pocket expenses has also risen. This, in turn, has
generated demand for healthcare services. In Q1, GDP per capita is expected
to be $46,480 and will reach an estimated $50,024 by 2020. The rise in per
capita income is especially important to the Healthcare Services industry as
out-of-pocket expenses account for a significant amount of industry revenue
including 14.5% for specialty doctors, 9.5% for primary care, 10.0% for home
care and the majority of assisted living costs.
Impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – As a result of the ACA, more
individuals will have healthcare insurance and access to a larger variety of
medical procedures. While patient numbers rise, Medicaid reimbursement
rates decreased in 2015 and are under continued pressure in 2016. The full
impact of ACA is still yet to be determined, but early indications are that it has
forced industry consolidation. Through consolidation, operators can better
meet the challenges of increasing patient volume, falling reimbursements,
expanding regulations and updating existing technology.

Q2 2016

INDUSTRY DRIVERS AND TRENDS (CONTINUED)
Accountable Healthcare provides future M&A opportunities – Accountable
Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of doctors, hospitals and other health
care providers, who voluntarily come together to give coordinated high quality
care to patients. ACOs place a degree of financial responsibility on providers
in hopes of improving care management and limiting unnecessary
expenditures. By increasing care coordination, ACOs can help reduce
unnecessary medical care costs and improve health outcomes. Should
accountable care expand throughout the broader healthcare market, a large
amount of consolidation would be the most likely impact. Successful ACOs
need to effectively and efficiently share patient data (via EHR), administrative
resources and quality metrics. This would best be accomplished in a model
where the providers of care has common ownership, and as such would create
significant M&A demand.
VALUATION DRIVERS
Based on recent discussions with buyers and investors, these market
participants are generally favoring (or ascribing premium valuation to)
businesses with the following characteristics:
Lower reimbursement risk providers – Buyers are generally seeking
business models with lower reimbursement risk. To the extent services
are provided on an out-of-network basis, those businesses with smaller
premiums over in-network contract rates are generally preferred.
Favorable patient demographics and commercial insurance payer
mix – Businesses located in markets with good patient demographics
for the types of services provided coupled with a favorable mix of
commercial insurance payers (where reimbursements can be
maximized) are preferred.
Medical service providers with facilities control – Medical groups
and doctor practices that control the facilities where they provide
services are favored.
Strong back office support – Organizations with strong back office
capabilities including talented personnel in billing & coding, patient
coordination & scheduling and accounting together with a state-of-
the-art EMR system that can be leveraged are favored.
Vibrant marketing infrastructure – Robust marketing capabilities are
in favor with buyers as these organizations typically have much lower
reliance on referring doctors for patient leads. Businesses that
generate their own patient leads receive premium values.
Low/flexible capital expenditure requirements – Buyers are
generally seeking businesses with low capital expenditure
requirements, thereby allowing most of the cash flow generated to the
business to be available for strategic growth initiatives or distribution
to owners. Capital expenditure requirements should be flexible with
the ability to decrease capex spending if procedure volume declines.
AMBULATORY FACILITIES: SEGMENT HIGHLIGHT
The Ambulatory Facilities segment has experienced a steady 4.0% increase in revenue throughout 2015 and is
expected to reach $99.4 billion for the year. Factors that influence the overall Healthcare Services industry,
such as an aging population, increased healthcare coverage and rising disposable income, are the driving
forces for industry growth. Changing patient preferences for minimally invasive surgeries with cost savings of
30%-60% compared to inpatient centers and technological advancements will further propel growth within
this segment. Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) make up the largest vertical within the Ambulatory Facilities
segment, accounting for 27.9% of the industry. Originally branching off of emergency care centers, ASCs have
expanded to provide a broader range of care.
Consolidation within this segment has remained strong in 2015. Ambulatory care centers are seeking
acquisitions in order to institute operational changes that cut costs, improve patient outcomes and streamline
payment processing. Some acquirers have experienced regulatory complications when expanding
geographically because of varying state regulations. Hospitals continue to acquire independent outpatient
centers because of the cost efficiencies they offer. For some centers, operating costs have risen faster than
revenue, thus driving a need to consolidate in order to eliminate excess capacity and to negotiate lower costs
with suppliers due to scale. Demand for ambulatory care services will add new entrants to the sector and is
projected to outpace consolidation. This segment is expected to see a 4.4% annual increase in operators
through 2020.
Public company multiples for this segment range from about 1.5x to 3.0x for revenue and 8.0x to 10.0x for
LTM EBITDA.

ASSISTED LIVING & ELDERLY CARE: SEGMENT HIGHLIGHT
Of the four segments within the Healthcare Services industry, Assisted Living & Elderly Care most directly
benefits from an aging population, along with Home Health & Hospice Care. Despite pressures from
increased compliance costs and reimbursement cuts, the industry has experienced significant growth.
Through 2020, this segment is projected to grow at an annual rate of 6.1% to reach $83.1 billion, up from an
average growth rate of 3.7% from 2010 to 2015. Growth drivers include an improving macro-economic
climate, healthcare reform, new services and an aging population.
As baby boomers age, they become more susceptible to chronic illnesses and potential injury, motivating
families to turn to assisted living facilities. The decision to enter an assisted living community is ultimately
needs based. That said, the decision is also influenced by other factors such as alternative options, housing
prices and disposable income. Future growth in the industry will come from new technology and services that
make living in an assisted living facility more desirable. Facilities are starting to offer additional services such
as access to nutritionists and physicians, as well as providing technology that connects consumers with family
and friends.
According to the American Seniors Housing Association, the industry is highly fragmented with the six largest
companies accounting for 17.7% of the total market share, with Brookdale Senior Living accounting for 10.1%
of the market. In order to drive growth, companies seek acquisitions to create economies of scale as well as
benefit from centralized operations. Investors, such as real estate investment trusts (REITs), view assisted
living facilities as a necessary asset to diversify their portfolio, which also includes medical offices, skilled-
nursing facilities and hospitals. Companies who have superior financial management, provide a broad
spectrum of care and have a solid reputation will be attractive M&A targets.

HOME HEALTH & HOSPICE CARE: SEGMENT HIGHLIGHT
Home Health & Hospice Care is one of the fastest growing segments within the Healthcare Services industry
and is projected to expand at an annual rate of 6.5% through 2020. Major factors contributing to this growth
include a rise in the number of people over the age of 65, increasing disposable income and low barriers to
entry. The high demand and low capital requirements necessary to provide home healthcare has led to
numerous operators entering the market. From 2010 to 2015, the number of operators increased annually by
5.2% to 386,384, more than any other segment.
For some patients, especially those with chronic diseases, home care is preferable to inpatient care. Home
healthcare alleviates an already burdened healthcare system, as chronically ill patients account for 76% of all
hospitalizations according to Partnership for Solutions (a joint project between Johns Hopkins University and
the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). Payers prefer home care because it is more affordable than inpatient
care. With patients, providers and payers all benefitting from home healthcare, this segment will see
consolidation by strategic and financial buyers for the foreseeable future.
One detractor from industry growth continues to be decreasing levels of federal funding as the largest payers
for home healthcare are government programs: Medicare and Medicaid. While this has impeded industry
growth to a certain extent, pressure on profit margins due to lower reimbursements has also driven merger
and acquisition activity within the industry. This trend is expected to continue throughout the short-term,
coupled with a shortage in skilled personnel.
This has experienced significant consolidation in recent years with Kindred Healthcare acquiring Gentiva
Services in 2014 to become the largest home healthcare provider in the US. HealthSouth also entered the
home health & hospice care market via its acquisition of the fifth largest provider of home health services,
Encompass Home Health and Hospice, in 2014.

PHYSICIAN PRACTICES: SELECT M&A TRANSACTIONS
Healthcare Services
Q2 2016
PHYSICIAN PRACTICES: SEGMENT HIGHLIGHT
The Physician Practice segment can be broken down into two main verticals: Primary Care and Specialist
Physicians. While each offers a unique set of services, they maintain similar structures and are influenced by
similar drivers. Combined, the segment generates approximately $490 billion in revenue with each vertical
contributing roughly half. Over the next five years, this segment is expected to grow at around 4% annually,
primarily due to expanding insurance coverage under the ACA and increased coverage of adults aged 65 and
older.
As the Physician Practices segment continues to grow, it will face economic and regulatory obstacles which
will lead to greater consolidation. While regulatory changes have increased the scope of coverage, it has also
forced the segment to be more efficient and address rising healthcare costs related to patient care. Instead of
opening independent practices, doctors are joining group practices and hospitals in order to reduce
operational, regulatory and compliance burdens while maximizing administrative and billing infrastructure,
and expanding negotiation power with insurance payers and vendors. Other factors that impact this segment
include the rise in malpractice premiums, costs of new technology and the delay in reimbursement from
payers.
In 2015, physician groups were seeking acquisitions in order to add complementary services as well as expand
their geographic presence. MEDNAX’s acquisition of Lakeshore Anesthesia in July 2015 highlighted these
trends, as MEDNAX added 41 full-time anesthesiologists and anesthetists around Michigan. Paul Chovaz,
M.D., will serve as Medical Director for the practice and said, “The combination of having access to anesthesia
best practices as well as the support of MEDNAX’s back-office infrastructure and access to its research,
education and quality initiatives will ultimately allow us to continue to provide the best patient care possible.”
