EVERVET PARTNERS acquired by FREEMAN SPOGLI

UNITED STATES Health Providers / Outpatient Care / Vet Clinics REV 100m USD - 500m USD

Context

Freeman Spogli & Co. made a significant investment in EverVet Partners, partnering alongside existing investor Tailwind Capital while EverVet's founders and management retained meaningful equity stakes. The transaction provided growth capital to accelerate EverVet's expansion in the consolidating U.S. veterinary services market. The deal made strategic sense because EverVet's veterinarian-led platform model aligned perfectly with Freeman Spogli's consumer services expertise, while Tailwind's foundational support transitioned into continued partnership. EverVet selected Freeman Spogli for their track record scaling healthcare and consumer brands through organic growth and M&A. The timing capitalized on strong industry tailwinds including pet ownership growth and veterinary workforce shortages, positioning EverVet to capture market share through targeted acquisitions and organic initiatives.

EVERVET PARTNERS, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2022, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Healthcare & Pharma sector (14.8x).
