Overview

Company profile

LymphaTouch Oy (LymphaTouch) was founded in 2005 out of a desire to help patients with lymphatic and circulatory problems by using innovative vacuum technology. The company provides easy-to-use and effective solutions for patients recovering from e.g. breast cancer treatments, sport injuries, post surgery swelling or scars.

LymphaTouch is certified as an ISO13485 compliant medical device manufacturer and has received CE and US FDA medical device approval. 

LymphaTouch's current owners include Innovestor, one of Finland's largest private equity firms, and a number of well-known angel investors. LymphaTouch's Board is chaired by Leena Niemistö, MD, specialist in physiatry and government professional. The company's key people form a diverse and experienced team, combining many years of experience in the health technology sector and its sub-sectors. 

In 2023, LymphaTouch signed a major technology collaboration agreement with Mego Afek of Israel. This partnership agreement opens the door to a whole new market and creates unprecedented opportunities in the company's history. 

Mego Afek's strong network and international presence provide LymphaTouch with a unique opportunity to expand globally and reach healthcare professionals and patients in new regions. By combining resources and expertise, LymphaTouch and Mego Afek will create synergies that will strengthen both companies' position as pioneers in health technology.

Description

Business model

Following the general best practice of medical device industry, LymphaTouch outsources the majority of sales and distribution. The team does direct sales only in the domestic market, and use local distributors elsewhere. This secures scalability and accelerates LymphaTouch's time to market, as the selected distributors already have access to thousands of potential buyers worldwide. 

The target customers are 1.6 million physiotherapists worldwide. LymphaTouch's customers include healthcare professionals who specialize in manual therapy, such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, lymph specialists, and other practitioners in the healthcare field. 

Most of the sales consist of device sales. The purchase of a device is usually a one-off investment, but often there may be a need to upgrade or replace it, for example when a newer model becomes available or the device reaches the end of its life. 

As install base grows, so does the need and demand for maintenance services. This means that after-sales services can account for a significant proportion of recurring sales, especially when customers want to ensure the functionality and longevity of their device. Sales of cups and filters are recurring sales and their demand is growing in proportion to the devices in active use.   

Market

Distributors

The company is active in the physiotherapy equipment market, which is expanding rapidly due to factors such as an aging population, increasing rates of cancer, and rising levels of obesity. The initial total addressable market is nearly € 400 million focused on lymphedema treatment. Thanks to the versatility of LymphaTouch's core technology the company can target the overall physiotherapy equipment market valued well over € 20 billion.

The global physiotherapy equipment market size reached US$ 16.5 billion in 2021. Looking ahead, it is anticipated that the market will grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.44% between 2021 and 2027, reaching US$ 24.0 billion by the end of the forecast period.

Valuation

Icon Money

Customer loyalty and long-term customer relationships are key factors that create stability and predictability in the company's revenues. One of LymphaTouch's greatest strengths is its rich clinical evidence base. 

The company's ability to understand the market, innovate and forge strategic partnerships has given it a solid position as a pioneer in the health technology sector. Accordingly, the company's valuation was estimated to be € 2 628 258,60 in August 2023.

Increase in demand, loyal customers, and expansion of LymphaTouch's product portfolio with the new LymphaTouch Pro open up new markets for the company. 

In addition, LymphaTouch's signed partnership agreement with MegoAfek will open up new business opportunities for the company and allow synergies for both parties. 

More detailed information on the valuation of the company can be found in the information memorandum.

Exit scenarios

Icon 1

Sales through acquisition are expected to be the optimal and most probable choice. The company's sale was discussed in 2022. LymphaTouch will be ready for commercial sale once the company's cash flow demonstrates positivity.

Icon 2

An IPO is a potential avenue for financing. When LymphaTouch Pro manages to establish itself     and achieve a revenue growth of $5-6 million, an IPO could become a feasible method of  gathering more funding for future business expansion and product portfolio development. 

Icon 3

Private equity investment is a third viable option when a company's cash flow is positive and steadily growing.
