TPG Healthcare – 2023 Year End Update

January 2024

Welcome to the next edition of the TPG Healthcare Newsletter, where we reflect on our activity in the second half of 2023 and share our excitement about the year ahead.

The breadth and reach of our healthcare platform stood out in 2023, as our teams announced partnerships with innovative companies providing and supporting high-quality care across the globe. In the U.S., our deeply thematic and long-term approach to the sector materialized in unique partnerships with leading healthcare corporations such as Cencora and Novant Health. In Asia, we supported our companies in making transformative acquisitions that significantly further their reach and cement their market leadership. In life sciences, we developed a dynamic portfolio of industry leading biotechnology companies that are delivering breakthrough innovations in areas like precision oncology, immunology, and rare diseases.

To kick off 2024, our partners from our TPG Capital business reflected on the themes and trends that excite us most in healthcare, from new models for delivering more holistic care, to continued advancements in therapeutics. While the industry will continue to evolve over the next 12 months, our investment focus remains unchanged: to support and grow companies that are bringing more value to the healthcare system and enabling better healthcare outcomes.

  • The Deal: TPG Growth partnered with Crowe LLP to carveout and establish Crowe’s healthcare consulting business as an independent company named Kodiak Solutions.
  • The Angle: Provider groups and other healthcare organizations are under significant pressure to lower costs and are increasingly looking for outsourced, tech-enabled solutions that help them work more effectively. Kodiak’s services focus uniquely on a health system’s Office of the CFO, with a flagship product that is seen as the gold standard in the industry. 
  • What Else? Kodiak supports more than 1,800 hospitals across the country. We look forward to partnering with management and Crowe to grow the platform’s reach and capabilities. 

  • The Deal: TPG Life Sciences Innovations (TPG LSI) and the Rise Fund invested in three life sciences companies leading innovative therapeutic programs in areas of oncology (Bicara Therapeutics, MBrace Therapeutics) and immunology (Sudo Biosciences).
  • The Angle: We are going through an interesting period within the life sciences sector, marked by a wave of innovative technologies that are translating to significant clinical benefit for patients. Leveraging the scientific expertise of our LSI team and TPG's long history of building and growing high-value healthcare platforms, we're focused on providing inflection capital to companies that we believe can deliver outsized impact for our patients and the healthcare ecosystem. 
  • What Else? TPG's investment in MBrace was featured in Bain's 2024 Global Healthcare Private Equity Report.

  • The Deal: TPG Capital Asia and The Rise Fund portfolio company Columbia Asia acquired Ramsay Sime Darby (RSD), a regional hospital group with approximately 1.9k beds across 7 hospitals in Malaysia and Indonesia.
  • The Angle: Since our original investment in 2020, Columbia Asia has seen remarkable growth in profitability thanks to ramp-up of younger hospitals and cost saving initiatives. With the pandemic behind us, Columbia Asia has resumed expansion via both organic growth and M&A, including its acquisition of RSD, which will transform Columbia Asia into the second largest hospital group in Southeast Asia by bed count.
  • What Else? RSD provides the critical missing tertiary piece to Columbia’s existing secondary hospitals and super specialty ecosystem. The investment reflects our continued focus on building regional platforms of scale that are providing high-quality, specialty care.

  • Remind Me: TPG closed its previously announced acquisition of Nextech, a leading provider of electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management solutions to specialty provider spaces including ophthalmology and plastic surgery. Catch up here and here.
  • The Go-Forward: The industry has shifted from generalist to specialty-focused EMRs, and Nextech is a recognized leader in the end markets it serves. Partnering with management, we see a significant opportunity to deepen Nextech's leadership through new capabilities while also expanding into new specialties.
  • What Else? Nextech recently welcomed healthcare and tech industry veterans Halsey Wise, Anthony Colaluca, and Carl Pascarella to its board of directors.

While the most acute phase of the pandemic has long since receded, its impacts continue to be felt across the economy and society. Of particular importance, it’s forced us all to reset and rethink our approaches to healthcare. Add to this growing affordability concerns due to rising cost pressures and healthcare is squarely in focus today. 

To unpack this climate, we spoke with Seema Verma, Senior Advisor to TPG and the former administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Centers, and Katherine Wood, Partner at TPG, on the biggest opportunities and risks for healthcare today. Plus, TPG’s Zach Ferguson, Shinichiro Fuse, Carolyn Ng, and Lucian Iancovici shared their views on the fastest growing areas of healthcare. Read more in here.

We’re pleased to congratulate several team members from across our global healthcare franchise on their promotions to Firm Partner.
