Carasent ASA acquires Data-Al and enters the German market invitation to webcast 29 October 11:00 CET

28 Oct 2024 14:16 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."

Updated financial targets

Following the acquisition of Data-Al, Carasent is updating the financial
targets for 2025 to account for the additional revenue and EBITDA contribution
expected from the acquisition. The organic financial targets excluding Data-Al
remain unchanged.

* EBITDA around NOK 85-90 million (80 million)
* EBITDA -- capex around NOK 45-50 million (40 million)

Carasent is executing its strategy to reach targets with the current company
structure. Additional potential acquisitions and divestments are not included.
