Great Point Partners I exits its partnership with Portfolio Company Professional Physical Therapy
Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) December 19, 2016 -- Great Point Partners ("GPP") today announced that it exited its partnership with GPP I portfolio company, Professional Physical Therapy ("ProPT"). ProPT is the leading outpatient physical therapy service provider in the New York Tri-State market, operating 107 facilities across New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.
Adam Dolder, Managing Director at GPP commented, “We are very proud of what we achieved working with Adam Elberg, and the entire ProPT team. Our partnership began five years ago when ProPT operated only 10 facilities in a single state and had approximately 300 employees. After executing an aggressive growth strategy that involved making 21 tuck-in acquisitions and opening 16 de novo units, the company now serves patients in more than 100 locations across three states and employs over 1,200 people.”
In discussing his company’s explosive growth, Adam Elberg, CEO and co-founder of ProPT, said, “In 2011, the founders of ProPT partnered with Great Point Partners to build the leading physical therapy company in the New York Tri-State market. GPP was instrumental in developing our acquisition and integration platform, and surrounded the management team with a talented Board of Directors that helped guide our growth to date.” Mr. Elberg added, “It has been a highly rewarding partnership with GPP and I am excited about the next stage in ProPT’s growth.”
Rohan Saikia, Principal at GPP, stated “This success is a testament to the outsourced business development expertise GPP brought to the collaboration with ProPT. During our partnership, we sourced nine of the Company’s 21 acquisitions that accounted for nearly 80 operating sites, supported Adam Elberg in strengthening the management team, and grew revenue by a compound annual growth rate of over 35%.”
This marks the fourth successfully exited investment in the last 14 months for GPP I, with three of the four generating a gross multiple of invested capital of five times or greater.
