Ditch your indicators and use the "MoneyLine". A simple line tells you when to buy and sell without the guesswork. It’s a line on a chart that’s helped Nic Chahine win 83% of his options buys. Here's how he does it.
- Earlier today, CONMED Corporation (NYSE:CNMD) agreed to acquire privately held Biorez Inc for $85 million and up to $165 million in commercial-based milestones.
- Biorez commercializes its BioBrace implant, a bioinductive scaffold used to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and promote soft tissue healing.
- Needham says that in the near term, Biorez is expected to be accretive to revenue growth and gross margins (Biorez's gross margin is >80% vs. CNMD's 2022E gross margin of ~55%).
- "In addition to becoming a significant growth driver over time, we expect BioBrace to function as a "door-opener" or "halo product" in CNMD's Orthopedic Surgery business, similar to AirSeal and Buffalo Filter in its General Surgery business," Needham writes.
- The analyst has lowered the price target of CONMED from $127 to $123, with an unchanged Buy rating.
- Management estimates its leverage post-acquisition will be in the low-5x range.
- Assuming ~$15 million in 2024 revenue, the company is paying a ~5.7x (with no milestones) to 16.7x (with the full milestones)
- EV/sales vs. Nedham's small/mid-cap growth comp group trading at a 2022 EV/sales multiple of 6.0x.
- CONMED expects the acquisition to add approximately $1 million in revenue to its recently provided FY22 revenue guidance.
- The company expects FY22 adjusted EPS of $3.25 - $3.45 as the deal will be ~$0.10-0.15 dilutive to both 2022 and 2023 EPS.
- Price Action: CNMD shares are up 0.74% at $98.29 during the market session on the last check Tuesday.
