CoverMyMeds to be Acquired for $1.1 Billion by McKesson Corporation

CINCINNATI, NEW YORK, SEATTLE, January 30, 2017 – SaaS Capital, the leading provider of Credit Facilities to SaaS companies, congratulates former portfolio company CoverMyMeds on signing a definitive agreement to be acquired by McKesson Corporation for $1.1 billion.

CoverMyMeds, a leader in healthcare technology, joined the SaaS Capital portfolio in 2013 and later received funding from Francisco Partners. Following the close of the transaction, CoverMyMeds will operate as an independent business unit under its existing leadership team.

“We could not be happier for the team at CoverMyMeds. The acquisition validates the value they have brought to their customers for many years, and provides a wonderful new platform for them to grow,” said Todd Gardner, Founder and Managing Director of SaaS Capital. “It is also proof that you can build a billion dollar SaaS enterprise in the Midwest, and do it without mountains of VC money.”

“Early in their development, CMM was looking for growth capital, but was reluctant to go down the PE/VC path because the team had already built several firms that way, and were looking to maintain more control and ownership this time around. Luckily for us, they knocked on our door, and we put a debt facility in place that allowed them to continue to invest in growth without selling a substantial part of the business. It was a true win-win.”

SaaS Capital Credit Facilities are specifically designed to fund the growth of a SaaS business in lieu of a round of equity, without sacrificing significant ownership or control. The SaaS business model is well suited to enhance shareholder returns through the use of debt because even a modest increase in annual recurring revenue generates equity value that far outweighs the cost of capital. SaaS portfolio companies have increased their value by 2x to 110X the cost of the facility.
