PUBLIC MARKETS (IPO)

GERMANY Life Sciences / Medical Devices / Implants & Prosthetics EV 3b - 100b EUR

Context

Ottobock successfully completed its Initial Public Offering on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, marking the largest German IPO of 2025. The shares were priced at €66.00, with the first trading price reaching €72.00 (a 9% premium). At the issue price, the market capitalization stood at €4.2 billion, rising to €4.6 billion upon listing. The strategic rationale for the IPO was to raise gross proceeds to deleverage the balance sheet and accelerate investments in "future technologies," such as AI-integrated bionics and exoskeleton research. Additionally, the capital will fund targeted acquisitions in the fragmented Patient Care and components sectors. The deal marks a milestone in the company’s history, professionalizing its capital structure while providing an exit path for previous minority stakeholders and securing a long-term capital base for global expansion.

OTTOBOCK, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN premium to the average currently observed in the Healthcare & Pharma sector (13.4x).
