Continuing on with #6 in the quick and dirty post earnings update.
VMD released Q1 2023 just about a couple weeks ago.
(US Listing) Ticker: VMD 0.00%↑
Price: $10.28
Market Cap: 411 mil USD
EV: Approx 412 mil USD (after subtracting recently announced purchase of HMP)
Business Highlights
Revenue of 39.6 mil
up 31% yoy and 5.5% sequentially
Adj Ebitda of 8.3 mil
up from 7.2 mil yoy
Guidance (with no contribution from HMP) of 40.2 to 41.2 mil
23% growth yoy at midpoint
Vent rentals where 63.6% of rev vs 71.3% in 2022 and 79.8% in 2021
Call Notes
They have other companies in the M&A pipeline like HMP
HMP is sleep heavy (45% sleep)
About half of that sleep revenue comes from resupply
No real update on VA - have been waiting 4-5 years
Continue to see gross margin pressure as they diversify away from vents into other areas
Closing Thoughts
It was a non-event quarter. The business is performing well. The acquisition of HMP validates the use of excess capital via M&A. I have been assuming that HMP will be integrated without any major issues. There is always reimbursement risk for VMD that will keep a lid on the multiple. I think you can mitigate that with diversification. They are currently trading 9-10x EV/run rate EBITDA (after HMP integration). There are some margin assumptions baked into that estimate that may be off the mark.
I like the organic growth story not tied to economic activity. I continue to hold.
Thanks,
Dean
