Carasent ASA acquires Data-Al and enters the German market – invitation to webcast 29 October 11:00 CET
Carasent ASA (“Carasent”) has today acquired the German company Data-Al GmbH (“Data-Al”), a provider of electronic health record (“EHR”) solutions for private healthcare clinics in Germany with more than 1,000 customers and a long successful track record in the German market. Carasent has updated its financial targets for 2025 to reflect the acquisition.
Acquisition of Data-Al
Founded in Germany in 1988, Data-Al provides the EHR solutions Data-Al and Data-Cur. Data-Al has a local organisation of 30 employees with deep knowledge of local requirements, and a strong market position with more than 1,000 customers across most parts of Germany. Data-Al works with the same type of customers as Webdoc, small to medium sized private clinics.
Data-Al’s financial metrics are typical of the industry, including sticky revenue streams and low customer churn, which provide a stable foundation for long-term growth. Data-Al’s revenues and EBITDA in 2023 were approximately EUR 4.0 million and EUR 0.5 million. The transaction values Data-Al at an enterprise value of EUR 8 million, with potential additional earnout payments of up to EUR 4 million pending future growth.
Carasent CEO Daniel Öhman comments:
“After a comprehensive and intense screening process we are delighted to have finally entered the German market with full force. We have been following Data-Al for almost one year and believe we have found a perfect match, combining a highly competent team with a very strong market standing and attractive customer base. Having this foundation will be crucial as we roll out Webdoc X in the German market.”
