8. 7 Med Tech IPO Market Evolution
9. 8 Med Tech IPO Market Trends We anticipate a very orderly reopening of the Med Tech IPO market with more mature companies leading the pack
First wave of IPOs post-market meltdown
Mature businesses with $100-400 million revenue
Profitable (in most cases)
Opportunistic issuers driven by shareholder liquidity objectives
Often financial sponsor-backed vs. venture-backed
Typically some selling shareholder component as part of IPO to add size
Gradually expect lowering of “stage of development” bar to allow for return of “Traditional Med Tech IPO” defined as:
Single product or technology platform company
Modest profitability or unprofitable
Venture-backed
$75-100 million IPOs with post-money IPO valuations of $275 million+
Keys to reopening of broader emerging growth Med Tech IPO market:
Positive investor experiences with recent Med Tech IPOs
Track record of IPO price being lowest cost point of entry to mitigate “we can buy it later cheaper” mentality
Existing public Med Tech companies trading at richer valuations, so relative risk / return assessment makes IPO comparison attractive
Valuations of public Med Tech companies returning to historical levels to support earlier stage IPOs
