Slowest Q4 For Senior Care M&A Since 2014

Slowest Q4 For Senior Care M&A Since 2014

Despite a strong December, when we recorded 30 long-term care transactions, the fourth quarter of 2017 was slow by all recent standards. These are preliminary numbers and may be revised upward in the coming weeks, but with just 69 announced acquisitions, Q4:17 was the least active quarter in terms of number of transactions since Q2:14, when we recorded just 63 deal announcements. Compared to the previous years’ fourth quarters, 2017 fell short significantly, down from the 93 deals recorded in Q4:16 and from the 108 deals recorded in Q4:15 (the all-time high for a quarter). There were few high-priced deals, as well, with the largest of the quarter (Mainstreet’s $425 million acquisition of... Read More »
