Orpea Groupe acquired 100% of TLC Group from its founder marking the French nursing home giant's entry into the Irish market. The transaction follows Orpea's well-established pattern of entering new European markets through the acquisition of well-run, high-quality local platforms with strong occupancy rates and an established reputation, rather than through greenfield development. Ireland represented an attractive entry point for Orpea given the structural undersupply of nursing home capacity in the Greater Dublin region, strong demographic growth, and a regulatory and reimbursement framework broadly comparable to other Western European markets in which Orpea already operates.

TLC GROUP, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2019, 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 (13.3x).
