Physical Therapy EBITDA Multiples
According to Axios reporting, the purchase price was in the range of $200 to $250 million for a business that was marketed off of $18 million in EBITDA. Using the mid-point of the range implies an EBITDA multiple of 12.5x, which is line with previous physical therapy deals of similar size, but lower than a number of deals reported in the 2020 to 2022 range.
