Combination of Philips and BioTelemetry results in a global
leader in patient care management solutions for the hospital and
the home
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced that it has completed the acquisition of BioTelemetry,
Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a leading U.S.-based provider of remote
cardiac diagnostics and monitoring. BioTelemetry’s financial
results will be consolidated as part of Philips’ Connected Care
business segment as of February 9, 2021.
The acquisition of BioTelemetry is a strong fit with Philips’
cardiac care portfolio, and its strategy to transform the delivery
of care along the health continuum with integrated solutions.
Philips’ patient care management solutions for the hospital include
real-time patient monitoring, therapeutic devices, telehealth and
informatics. Moreover, Philips has an advanced and secure
cloud-based Philips HealthSuite digital platform optimized for the
delivery of health care across care settings.
With 2020 sales of USD 450 million, BioTelemetry adds a complete
range of clinically validated ambulatory cardiac diagnostics and
monitoring services: Short-term Holter monitoring services,
Long-term Holter monitoring services, Event recorder services, and
Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT) services. BioTelemetry
has built one of the world’s largest remote cardiac monitoring
services networks, providing services for over one million patients
per year. Additionally, BioTelemetry has a clinical research
business that provides testing services for clinical trials.
“The combination of Philips’ leading patient care management
portfolio in the hospital with BioTelemetry’s leading cardiac
diagnostics and monitoring portfolio outside the hospital will
result in a global leader in patient care management solutions for
the hospital and the home for cardiac and other patients,” said
Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips. “With our collective
portfolios, and our healthcare informatics and services platforms,
we will be in an optimal position to improve patient care across
care settings for multiple diseases and medical conditions.”
FinancialsBioTelemetry and its approximately
1,900 employees will become part of Philips’ Connected Care
business segment. The acquisition is projected to be nominal sales
growth and adjusted EBITA margin [1] accretive for Philips in 2021.
Philips targets significant synergies driven by cross-selling
opportunities, geographical expansion, and portfolio innovation
synergies, such as Philips’ HealthSuite digital platform.
Additionally, Philips will drive operational performance
improvements through its proven productivity programs. The
BioTelemetry business is expected to grow double-digits and to
improve its Adjusted EBITA margin to more than 20% by 2025.

structured as a merger under Section 251(h) of the General

completion of Philips’ previously announced tender offer to
purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of BioTelemetry for
USD 72.00 per share in cash, without interest, less any applicable
