Key findings include the following:

• Q4 2022 saw modest losses in public equities across the Healthcare landscape that were in line with the broader equity market.

The Managed Healthcare sector recorded an average gain of 1.9% in the quarter, substantially outperforming the broader market.
• Q4 2022 middle-market M&A deal volume remained stable from Q3 and Q2, while average deal value decreased slightly. Q4 2022 deal volume was down 28% compared to Q4 2021, but the average deal value remained resilient over the past year.  Strategic buyers continue to comprise a majority of the overall deal activity, representing 77.3% of total transaction volume in the quarter while financial buyers continue to deploy capital into the market.
• Based on a representative set of publicly traded companies in the Healthcare industry, public companies traded at an average multiple of 13.0x EBITDA and 2.9x revenue in Q3 2022, both up QoQ.
