A strategic acquisition of Victrix SocSan

To strengthen our technology platform and increase the possibilities for innovative offerings in technology enable care, we have acquired Victrix SocSan (Victrix). The acquisition is in line with the ambition to become a European market leader in technology enabled care, developing new proactive and preventive solutions. The acquisition of Victrix further strengthens our position as a company in the forefront of technology solutions in the industry.

We will pay in cash approximately SEK 14.8 million and 232,744 shares for the acquisition of Victrix. An additional purchase price will be paid if certain significant and defined sales targets are met during a three-year period. Revenue for Victrix for the financial year 2019 was EUR 350,000 thousand (approximately SEK 3.7 million). The acquisition will be consolidated from September 30, 2020 and is expected to have a negligible effect on earnings per share for 2020 including transaction costs.

“A strong technical platform and knowledge is an important component in our strategy. The Victrix Care Platform gives us new opportunities to develop and offer coordinated and proactive care services, both in individual and assisted living. The strong technical competence and extensive experience in the technology enabled care market that the Victrix team has will be a great addition,” says Carl-Johan Zetterberg Boudrie, President and CEO.

“Victrix is delighted to join the family and to add a key component in the strategy to become the largest provider of fully digital proactive telehealthcare services in Europe. The market for coordinated health and personal care digital solutions is growing rapidly, and is accelerating due to the pandemic, so the timing is perfect.” says Joe Killen, CEO and founder of Victrix.
