Mid-Market M&A to Jump in 2013

Expect middle-market transactions in the healthcare sector to pick up the pace this year, according to a report by KPMG.

The accounting and advisory firm polled more than 50 healthcare executives, with 60 percent reporting they would conduct more deals this year than in 2012. The rush is likely to impact small- to mid-sized transactions valued at less than $250 million most because they are easier to finance, integrate and conduct due diligence, according to the report.

In addition, more clarity has entered the industry regarding health reform, giving leaders the confidence to pursue deals that fit their growth agendas, although survey respondents did acknowledge concern of new regulations' impact during the integration phase.
