OMERS Infrastructure (37.5%) and Goldman Sachs Asset Management
(37.5%) together with AXA IM Alts (25%), have today announced the
signing of an agreement to acquire 100% of amedes Group (“amedes”),
a leading provider of medical diagnostics services in Germany,
Belgium and Austria, from current investor Antin Infrastructure
Partners.
With a focus on providing specialty medical
diagnostic testing, amedes leverages its 75+ laboratories and
specialty medicine sites across Germany, Belgium and Austria to
support the needs of the healthcare industry through the delivery
of quick, accurate and reliable diagnostic services, conducting
more than 400,000 analyses per day.Under the consortium’s
ownership, amedes will continuously pursue its strategic objectives
and further expand its leading market position in integrated
specialty diagnostics. As a specialist network, the group will
continue to focus on medical excellence, innovation and
specialization to address key trends in the healthcare sector.
amedes will continue to focus on its proven partnership with
physicians and act as an interface between diagnostics and clinical
medicine, particularly in gynaecology, endocrinology and fertility
medicine. Other growth areas include genetics, rheumatology and
oncology.
Infrastructure investors are increasingly
focusing on the healthcare industry given the essentiality of the
services it provides, strong secular tailwinds, the stability and
resiliency of the cash flows, the defensive nature of the
healthcare spending, and the supportive regulatory framework on
prices and licencing requirements. Within the healthcare industry,
medical diagnostic testing plays a vital role in improving the
detection and prevention of diseases, and amedes stands out as a
market leader.
Philippe Busslinger, Senior Managing Director
and Head of Europe, OMERS Infrastructure, said: “OMERS is pleased
to be backing amedes and its management team in its continued
pursuit of medical excellence. amedes is our fourth infrastructure
investment in Germany, which continues to be a core region of
interest to us. We welcome the opportunity to increase our exposure
to this market and the lab diagnostics sector, as it further
diversifies our portfolio and contributes to the generation of
steady returns for our pension plan members. We look forward to
working alongside our investment partners to support amedes as it
continues to perform its essential role in the communities in which
it is active.”Philippe Camu, Global Co-Head of the Infrastructure
business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management said: “amedes is a
leader in European diagnostics, providing essential services for
the detection and prevention of diseases. Our investment thesis is
based on the resiliency of the business, driven by a stable
regulatory framework as well as by strong secular trends in the
sector.” Matteo Botto Poala, Managing Director in the
Infrastructure business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management,
added “We are excited to work with amedes’ management team to
accelerate growth through innovation, commercial and operational
initiatives, and acquisitions.”Mark Gilligan, Head of
Infrastructure Equity at AXA IM Alts, said: “Our investment into
amedes alongside Goldman Sachs Asset Management and OMERS
Infrastructure, follows our June 2021 investment in Stockholm
Exergi and aligns with our strategy of assembling a premier
portfolio of core through to core plus European infrastructure
businesses. Through its superb network of medical laboratories and
clinics across Germany, Belgium and Austria, it possesses that most
critical thing we seek as infrastructure investors – essentiality.
We share our partners’ vision for the growth of the firm and look
forward to working with management as it continues to deliver
world-class cost-effective services to its customers and
patients.”
The transaction remains subject to customary
regulatory approvals and is expected to close before year end.
