Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) has completed its acquisition of Axonics (Nasdaq: AXNX), a medical technology company specializing in devices for urinary and bowel dysfunction treatment. The acquisition, valued at $3.7 billion in equity value and $3.3 billion in enterprise value, was completed at $71 cash per share. The deal expands Boston Scientific's Urology business into sacral neuromodulation, a high-growth market. The transaction is expected to be immaterial to adjusted earnings per share in 2024 and 2025, becoming accretive thereafter, though potentially less accretive or more dilutive on a GAAP basis due to amortization and acquisition costs.

Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) ha completato l'acquisizione di Axonics (Nasdaq: AXNX), un'azienda tecnologica medica specializzata in dispositivi per il trattamento di disfunzioni urinarie e intestinali. L'acquisizione, valutata 3,7 miliardi di dollari in valore di capitale e 3,3 miliardi di dollari in valore d'impresa, è stata completata a 71 dollari in contante per azione. L'accordo espande il settore Urologia di Boston Scientific nella neuromodulazione sacrale, un mercato in rapida crescita. Si prevede che la transazione non avrà un impatto significativo sugli utili per azione rettificati nel 2024 e 2025, diventando accrescitiva successivamente, sebbene potenzialmente meno accrescitiva o più diluitiva secondo i principi contabili GAAP a causa dell'ammortamento e dei costi di acquisizione.

보스턴 사이언티픽(Boston Scientific) (NYSE: BSX)가 배뇨 및 장 기능 장애 치료 장치 전문 의료 기술 기업인 아크소닉스(Axonics) (Nasdaq: AXNX)를 인수하였습니다. 이번 인수는 자본 가치 37억 달러, 기업 가치 33억 달러로 평가되며 주당 71달러 현금으로 완료되었습니다. 이 거래는 보스턴 사이언티픽의 비뇨기과 사업을 자극 신경 조절 시장으로 확장시키며, 이는 높은 성장 잠재력을 가진 시장입니다. 이 거래는 2024년과 2025년의 조정된 주당 수익에 큰 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 예상되며, 이후에는 이익을 증가시킬 것으로 보이나, 감가상각 및 인수 비용으로 인해 GAAP 기준에서는 잠재적으로 덜 증가하거나 더 희석될 수 있습니다.

Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) hat die Übernahme von Axonics (Nasdaq: AXNX) abgeschlossen, einem Medizintechnikunternehmen, das auf Geräte zur Behandlung von Blasen- und Darmfunktionsstörungen spezialisiert ist. Die Übernahme, die mit 3,7 Milliarden US-Dollar an Eigenkapitalwert und 3,3 Milliarden US-Dollar an Unternehmenswert bewertet wird, wurde zu 71 US-Dollar in bar pro Aktie abgeschlossen. Die Vereinbarung erweitert das Urologiegeschäft von Boston Scientific in den Bereich der sakralen Neuromodulation, einem wachstumsstarken Markt. Es wird erwartet, dass die Transaktion 2024 und 2025 keinen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die bereinigten Erträge pro Aktie haben wird und danach gewinnbringend wird, jedoch aufgrund von Amortisation und Akquisitionskosten möglicherweise weniger gewinnbringend oder stärker verwässernd nach GAAP-Basis sein könnte.

Insights

The $3.7 billion acquisition of Axonics marks a strategic expansion for Boston Scientific into the high-growth sacral neuromodulation market. The $71 per share cash deal represents a premium investment in specialized urological medical technology. While initially earnings-neutral through 2025, the long-term growth potential is significant given Axonics' strong position in treating urinary and bowel dysfunction.

The enterprise value of $3.3 billion suggests efficient capital allocation, considering Axonics' established market presence and innovative product portfolio. The expected earnings accretion beyond 2025 indicates confidence in achieving operational synergies and market expansion. However, investors should note the near-term GAAP earnings impact from amortization and acquisition costs.

This acquisition strengthens BSX's competitive position in the $650 million sacral neuromodulation market, which has been growing at double-digit rates. The deal aligns with industry consolidation trends where large medical device companies acquire innovative, specialized players to expand their therapeutic reach.

This acquisition significantly enhances Boston Scientific's urology portfolio by adding Axonics' advanced neuromodulation technology. The deal brings two complementary product lines together - Axonics' r-SNM System and F15 recharge-free SNM system alongside BSX's existing urology solutions. This combination creates a comprehensive treatment pathway for patients with varying degrees of incontinence severity.

The market opportunity is substantial, with over 40 million adults in the US alone suffering from overactive bladder. Axonics' technology has demonstrated superior outcomes and patient satisfaction, which should drive continued market penetration under BSX's larger commercial infrastructure. The integration will likely accelerate international expansion and market access for these innovative therapies.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) today announced the close of its acquisition of Axonics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXNX), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of differentiated devices to treat urinary and bowel dysfunction.

"Over the last decade, it has been impressive to see the meaningful innovations Axonics has delivered for patients with overactive bladder and incontinence," said Meghan Scanlon, senior vice president and president, Urology, Boston Scientific. "By closing this acquisition, we're pleased to welcome the Axonics team into Boston Scientific. The addition of the Axonics product portfolio enables us to expand into sacral neuromodulation, a high-growth adjacency for our Urology business, while bringing a comprehensive portfolio of products to patients around the world who are seeking tailored treatment options based on their life stage and incontinence severity."

The purchase price of $71 cash per share represents an equity value of $3.7 billion and an enterprise value of $3.3 billion.1 The transaction is expected to be immaterial to adjusted earnings per share in 2024 and 2025 and accretive thereafter. On a GAAP basis, the transaction is expected to be less accretive, or more dilutive, due to amortization expense and acquisition-related charges.

Additional information about this transaction is available on the Events and Presentations section of the Boston Scientific investor relations website.
