GenesisCare’s valuation has slid from a debt-fuelled peak of $5 billion to just $434 million, according to an independent expert’s report highlighting a stunning fall for a business once hailed as one of Australia’s most promising healthcare groups.
The valuation – of between $434 million and $541 million – was commissioned as part of a compulsory share buyback being pursued by the cancer care provider’s new owners, a consortium of financiers led by Oaktree Capital Management.
