10 The Billing / RCM Space has been consolidating rapidly over the last 5 years Number of Firms, ,500 4,000 3,500 4,000 Firms 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1, , ,000 Firms 5 Years Ago, 1,800 now 10 Growthink s Analysis of the RCM Market

11 Because the Barriers to Consolidation are Broken Barrier Then Now Comments Process Paper-based Electronic Technology Client-Server SaaS Remote management of rules engines Channel Complexity of Billing Process Off-shore Capability Popularity of Software-based PMS systems Personal relationships of proprietors in the community Direct Sales, Channel Partners, VARs Low High Through technology, able to share rules across customer base. Expensive for smaller firms to keep current Very limited Availability of sophisticated, English speaking off-shore resources Low High (90% adoption) Electronic input of critical information allows for scale of business and management by remote resources 11

12 Athenahealth Inc: Improving Efficiency Through Scale Athenahealth Number of Physicians and Gross Margins, Operating Metrics Q12002 Q12009 Change Client DAR days FPR 81% 92% +11% As physician customers have doubled, gross margins have improved by 9%, with even larger margins forecasted in the near-term 12

13 RCM Companies $10MM+ Revenue With the right software platform and management team, there is significant opportunity to scale the business through $2MM - $5MM acquisitions Availability of private equity and leverage options can enhance the balance sheet to speed roll-up Attractive earn-out, equity and target held note transactions can be structured For every $15MM in revenue, exit valuation grows by 1X Revenue (i.e. $15MM Revenue Company valued at 2X, $30MM Revenue Company valued at 3X) For companies without the desire to scale quickly, there are very attractive exit options Less than $10MM in Revenue Evaluate effectiveness and scalability of software and team Develop concrete execution plan to achieve $10MM critical mass point Consider specialty practices and regional market share, both are attractive to mid-tier buyers 13 Growthink s Analysis of the RCM Market

14 Ali Tabibian GTK Partners Powerful transaction drivers Regulatory change Market size Fragmentation, especially along geographic lines Consolidation will leave many niches under-served Shouldn t just be focused on the new serving the new Thousands and thousands for fish in the sea Look out for rollup strategies Pay for scale Buyers will want a small asset to have Über-technology, otherwise $50MM+ of revenues Scale arbitrage: a company will pick up 1.5-2x EBITDA multiple points as it grows beyond $5MM and $10MM EBITDA 14

15 BPO Firms Large provider of outsourced IT services as well as BPO Current systems are good at maintaining data, but getting systems to aggregate data from disparate sources within a healthcare ecosystem (the kind needed for accurate billing) is difficult. Looking for RCM companies with $50MM+ and strong competencies in specialty services. Large cap Off-Shore BPO The market is very fragmented, they have been having difficulty finding attractive assets of meaningful size. Considering lowering criteria of $40MM in revenue to gain entry to U.S. market Looking for acquisitions that allow for a foothold into healthcare clients that they can sell their other services around (IT outsourcing, application development, RCM), turning small clients into large ones SaaS/Cloud-based models are attractive 15 Growthink s Analysis of the RCM Market

16 Large Cap HIT Large Cap provider of HIT in addition to a number of the healthcare products/services Covered in virtually every aspect of HIT, with the goal of disease management by managing a continuum of care from a variety of providers Looking for more acquisition opportunities in Revenue Cycle Management, more customization to specialty practices with increased efficiencies Large Cap provider of HIT and medical equipment Very interested in disease management, none of the big players have figured this out The economy has slowed their business, and have been positioning solutions around ROI, which include an increased RCM functionality Looking to acquire RCM around specialty practices and software and services that can improve overall workflow 16 Growthink s Analysis of the RCM Market

17 Pure Revenue Cycle Management Large provider of RCM and services for providers, payers and the government See the need for firms to be able to manage RCM for providers and payers, and help integrate and create the link between the two for greater efficiencies Very acquisitive, more than 40 acquisitions since 1996 Looking for hospital and facility focused RCM acquisitions, possibly an EHR solution for large physician groups to integrate across their customer base Bolt-on buys of assets with $10MM-$50MM in revenue with a 50/50 mix between technology and services 17 Growthink s Analysis of the RCM Market

18 Pure-Play Provider Revenue Cycle Management $40MM - $60MM Company Rolling Up RCM s Looking for good RCM assets with between $5MM - $30MM in revenue, EBITDA Margin of 20% - 30% and management teams to stay on. Disciplined in valuations at 1x-2x Revenue, and 6x-8x EBITDA Private Equity backed $20MM - $40MM Company offering holistic view to RCM, integrating healthcare ecosystems around RCM Have developed offshore capabilities Are typically hired by hospitals who need to organize feeder physicians Providers are looking for: Speed, execution and expertise Clinical data can be a hindrance for managing RCM. As soon we start dealing with the CIO/CMO, we are done. They strictly work with CEO s who want to improve the performance of their business Considering acquisitions to grow business, vertically integrating some aspects of what they do Private Equity backed 18
