THE PRIVATE CLINIC (TPC) acquired by QUADRIVIO GROUP

UNITED KINGDOM Health Providers / Outpatient Care / Aesthetic & Cosmetic Clinics REV 25M - 50M GBP

Context

Quadrivio Group has acquired a majority stake in The Private Clinic from BlueGem Capital Partners to serve as a platform for its "Silver Economy" strategy. The industrial logic is anchored in the "healthy longevity" megatrend: as the population ages, demand for aesthetic and wellness treatments among the affluent over-50s is booming. The transaction was structured as a simultaneous "Buy-and-Build" play, as TPC acquired four smaller clinics specializing in cosmetic medicine at closing to immediately scale its footprint. Quadrivio aims to use TPC to consolidate the highly fragmented aesthetic market in the UK and plans to export this business model to Italy and broader Europe, where similar consolidation opportunities exist.

THE PRIVATE CLINIC (TPC), which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2023, 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).
