PHARMA EQUITY GROUP takes majority stake in OTIOM

DENMARK Healthcare Services / Health Tech EV 10M - 30M DKK

Context

Pharma Equity Group A/S is acquiring Otiom A/S. The transaction follows the signing of a Letter of Intent in December 2025, under which PEG intends to purchase either the entire share capital or a controlling stake in the Danish MedTech firm. Otiom, which operates a patented IoT localisation platform for dementia care, currently supplies its technology in twenty‑four countries and maintains a network of thirteen EU distributors. The acquisition represents PEG’s first entry into a commercial MedTech business complementary to its pharmaceutical activities. The acquisition aligns with PEG’s strategy to broaden its portfolio with assets that have shorter commercial timelines than traditional drug development. Otiom’s established market presence, validated technology and near break‑even cash‑flow provide an immediate revenue stream and a platform for geographic scaling. PEG’s expertise in capital markets, regulatory navigation and strategic management is intended to accelerate Otiom’s expansion into additional European markets and to deepen its product offering through integration with existing portfolio resources. Post‑closing, Otiom’s management is expected to remain operationally engaged while PEG issues new shares to the sellers, creating a shared ownership structure. The combined entity aims to leverage centralized strategic governance with decentralized execution, targeting increased unit sales, higher subscription uptake and enhanced data analytics capabilities. Anticipated synergies include shared procurement, joint research on sensor technologies and coordinated sales efforts, which are projected to improve cash‑flow generation and strengthen PEG’s position in the Nordic health‑technology landscape.

OTIOM, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2026, 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).

Target

Otiom A/S is a Danish medical technology company that develops and commercialises an Internet of Things based localisation solution for individuals living with dementia. The system combines wearable sensors with cloud‑based analytics to generate real‑time positioning data and alarm notifications for caregivers and family members. Devices are sold to care facilities, municipal health services and private users, generating recurring revenue through hardware sales and subscription fees for data services. The technology is protected by a patent covering the sensor architecture and data processing algorithm. Otiom operates a distribution network that includes thirteen authorised partners across the European Union and supplies its units to customers in twenty‑four countries. In its home market the company holds a top‑three market position, and it reports strong uptake in the DACH and Nordic regions. Production volumes exceed nine‑thousand units, and the platform processes more than eight‑thousand active events per week, demonstrating operational scalability. The business model relies on a combination of upfront equipment pricing and ongoing service contracts, allowing the firm to maintain a cash‑flow profile close to break‑even while expanding its installed base. Research and development activities focus on enhancing sensor accuracy, battery life and integration with third‑party care management software. Otiom’s corporate structure includes a board of directors and a management team that remains actively involved post‑investment.
