VitalHub Announces Acquisition of Strata Health

VitalHub Corp. is pleased to announce that it has acquired Strata Health Solutions Inc., a leading provider of patient flow solutions internationally.

Based in Canada, Strata Health designs, builds, and deploys software that improves access and navigation to care. Strata Health has over 80 health system partners and works with over 500 hospitals to provide over 800,000 patient transitions annually. The company serves customers in Canada, the UK, the US, and New Zealand with offices internationally.

Strata Health extends VitalHub’s solution set into the electronic referral market, a large and growing market opportunity internationally. Poor transitions of care result in fragmented delivery, unsatisfactory patient outcomes, and billions of dollars of inefficient healthcare system spend annually. Strata Health’s digital suite solves for these problems with solutions like electronic referral, waitlist management, and placement automation.

VitalHub has acquired Strata Health for a total up-front consideration of C$32.3 million, plus potential performance-based consideration. The purchase price paid at closing was composed of a cash payment of C$18.6 million and the issuance of 1,480,726 common shares of VitalHub. The maximum amount payable under the all-cash performance-based earn-out is C$4.5 million over the period from closing to June 30, 2027.

For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2024, Strata Health had an estimated total revenue of C$12.7 million. As of the acquisition closing date of October 29, 2024, Strata Health had Annual Recurring Revenue of approximately C$12.3 million.

“We are excited to announce our 20th and largest acquisition to date of Strata Health,” said Dan Matlow, CEO at VitalHub. “We have seen Strata Health grow over the years and believe there is an incredible opportunity to expand electronic referral solutions internationally and to better serve our combined group of healthcare partners.”

“We are thrilled to be joining the VitalHub team and look forward to enhancing our product and market roadmap with the support of the VitalHub platform,” said Peter Smith, President and CEO at Strata Health. “This collaboration will allow us to offer a more comprehensive solution for our customers that will improve healthcare processes internationally.”

B.C. Ziegler and Company, a healthcare specialty investment bank, served as financial advisor to Strata Health Solutions for the transaction.
