DomusVi completed a major capital reorganization, described as a "jumbo-LBO". This transaction allowed founder Yves Journel to increase his ownership from 30% to 49%, while ICG remains a key controlling partner. The group's management team also participated in the round, investing approximately €50 million for a 2% stake. The deal was financed through a robust structure including €1.6 billion in portable senior debt (representing 6.3x EBITDA) and a €400 million PIK (Payment-in-Kind) line provided by ICG. The strategic rationale is to fund a "European conquest" phase, aiming to double the group's revenue to €3.4 billion by 2025. This growth will be driven by massive external acquisitions in Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Portugal, further consolidating DomusVi's position as a dominant European healthcare provider.

DomusVi entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire 100% of the capital of Residalya, in a move designed to significantly densify its territorial coverage within France. The transaction allowed DomusVi to absorb 35 additional facilities and roughly 2,630 beds, bringing its total capacity to over 17,000 beds and narrowing the gap with its primary market competitors. This strategic build-up was motivated by the need to reach a critical industrial scale, merging Residalya’s localized expertise and specialized assets—including the ownership of twelve of its residences—into DomusVi’s global operational platform.

DomusVi has successfully acquired its Spanish competitor SARquavitae, previously held by a consortium of investment funds including Palamon Capital Partners and G Square Capital. This transformative build-up operation allows the group to become the number one player in the Spanish elderly care market. The strategic rationale centers on geographic diversification, as the target’s strong footprint in Catalonia and Madrid perfectly complements the acquirer’s existing position in Galicia. The integration adds 88 facilities and 11,000 beds to the group’s portfolio, bringing total pro forma revenues to approximately €1.2 billion. This acquisition marks a significant milestone in the group’s international expansion strategy, following the previous year’s integration of another Spanish operator, thereby solidifying its leadership position in Southern Europe.

PAI Partners has entered into exclusive negotiations to take control of DomusVi, the third largest French player in the private nursing home sector. Upon completion of the transaction, PAI is expected to hold 70% of the capital alongside an associated fund. The remaining shareholding structure will include DV Holding (controlled by founder Yves Journel) at 25% and the group's management at 5%. This operation facilitates the full exit of the other founding shareholder, Jean,François Gobertier, thereby resolving a long,standing governance conflict between the two founders. The strategic rationale for the deal centers on the consolidation of a market where private actors are gaining share as the state's capacity to maintain market share diminishes. PAI Partners plans to optimize the existing facilities and reduce costs while funding an aggressive acquisition strategy. Several hundred million euros are planned over the next five years for targeted acquisitions, specifically aiming to strengthen the group's presence in Germany and Spain and to continue its development in China. This step is intended to simplify the company’s governance and transform it into an international champion in the management of elderly dependency.
