At High Desert Advisors, our extensive decades-long experience in healthcare allows us to provide comprehensive and precise practice valuations. Our dedicated team of medical practice brokers equips you with the strategic insights necessary to maximize the value of your practice not only during the transition but also before and after.
Evolving Valuation Methodology
The healthcare industry’s economic landscape is ever-changing, and so is the way we evaluate practice worth. Today, the most widely accepted benchmark for practice valuation revolves around multiples of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA). This shift has ushered in greater precision and transparency in the valuation process.
Tradition vs. Modern Valuation Methods
Traditionally, solo practitioners viewed their earnings as the total compensation received from their practice, blurring the lines between clinical care earnings and business-generated profit. Modern valuation methods, however, recognize that investors focus on the business’s profitability itself, assessing the practice’s actual cash flow on a debt-free basis. This approach aligns closely with valuation practices in other industries.
Selecting the Right Multiple
Choosing the appropriate multiple for your practice is a nuanced process, influenced by various factors, including:
Numerous additional factors also come into play, such as practice location, staff expertise, revenue stream stability and growth, payer mix, facility conditions, service variety, patient demographics, and overall profitability.
Understanding Diverse Buyer Perspectives and Goodwill Value
In today’s dynamic marketplace, it’s crucial to recognize that different types of buyers bring varying perspectives on earnings and goodwill value to the table:
Private Equity Firms: Often aiming to invest in businesses or partner with founders, they prefer retaining existing management teams for business continuity. However, they may make EBITDA adjustments if they believe additional management team members are needed for further growth.
Strategic Buyers: These buyers, with existing group practices and industry experience, may adjust EBITDA upward based on synergies, such as duplicative management team members or third-party vendors, more favorable contracts, and advantageous payer agreements.
Individual Buyers: Often seeking to purchase a job rather than an investment, they focus on Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE). This typically results in lower multiples compared to EBITDA-based valuations.
Understanding these intricacies is pivotal to achieving a successful practice transition that aligns precisely with your unique goals and expectations. At High Desert Advisors, we provide the insights and expertise needed to ensure your practice’s true value is not only recognized but maximized, regardless of where you are in your practice journey.
