Although mergers and acquisitions are up across the behavioral healthcare sector, relatively tight debt markets and a regulatory environment that is less than ideal for healthcare investments are creating headwinds. A total of 42 deals were reported in the first three months of 2024, the most since the fourth quarter of 2022. This included 24 traditional "control position" M&A deals, with 18 "growth equity" deals in which investors (often venture capital firms) purchase what is usually a minority ownership stake in companies that show great potential for scalability. Private equity was a large driver of M&A activity, accounting for 18 of 24 M&A transactions reported in Q1, including eight platform deals.

The Q1 2024 Home-Based Care M&A Report analyzes the recent regulatory pressure and explores its impact on home health, home care, and hospice. After a solid Q4 of 2023, home-based care transactions dropped significantly in Q1 2024. Home health, home care and hospice saw just 13 total deals in the first quarter, representing a low point not seen in years. The breakdown was split evenly across the three service lines, with six home health care deals, seven home care deals and four hospice deals. (Note: While this appears to be 17 transactions, some transactions include more than one service line.)   The low deal volume can be attributed to many factors, including:   - A reversion to the mean after a historically strong period of deals from late 2020 through 2022   - Regulatory uncertainty  - The current debt market Please find a more detailed breakdown of the M&A activity in the first quarter of 2024 in our report below.
