UNIVERSITY COMPOUNDING PHARMACY (UCP) acquired by FAGRON

UNITED STATES Life Sciences / Pharma & Biotech / Compounding EV 20M - 50M USD

Context

Fagron acquired 100% of University Compounding Pharmacy for an Enterprise granting to Fagron a stronghold in California (a high-barrier market) and adds complementary therapeutic expertise (Urology) to its existing US portfolio (which includes Anazao). Fagron expects to realize significant synergies over the next 18-24 months by integrating UCP into its national platform.

UNIVERSITY COMPOUNDING PHARMACY (UCP), which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, 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

Based in San Diego, UCP is a specialized 503A compounding pharmacy. Unlike 503B facilities (which manufacture in bulk for hospitals), 503A pharmacies prepare patient-specific medications prescribed by doctors. UCP has built a strong niche in the "Health & Wellness" segment, with specific leadership in Urology (e.g., erectile dysfunction treatments) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It operates in California, a state with notoriously strict pharmacy regulations, making its license and clean compliance record a valuable asset. The company generates annual revenues of around $25 million.
