Stada Owners Are Said to Resume IPO Work as CapVest Talks Stall
(Bloomberg) -- Stada Arzneimittel AG's private equity owners are resuming preparations for a listing of the German drugmaker after talks stalled on a potential sale to CapVest Partners, people with knowledge of the matter said. Bain Capital and Cinven, which jointly own Stada, have started gearing up to hold an initial public offering of the business as soon as October, the people said. London-based buyout firm CapVest was in discussions to acquire Stada but it's been unable to reach an agreement, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.

The potential acquisition would have been a large deal for CapVest, which manages about €12 billion in assets. Talks cooled in part due to disagreements over valuation as well as the structure of CapVest's bid, according to some of the people. Bain and Cinven are now returning to plans for an IPO, which has always been their preferred exit route, the people said. While negotiations on a potential deal with CapVest have hit an impasse, the situation is fluid and there's still a chance they could overcome their differences and reach an agreement, the people said. Representatives for Bain, CapVest, Cinven and Stada declined to comment. Bain and Cinven started weighing options for Stada in 2023. The company manufactures and sells a range of products such as consumer health-care items, generic drugs and specialty medication for rare and chronic diseases. Stada told investors in June that it's on track to achieve its earnings guidance of €930 million to €990 million of adjusted Ebitda for the year. It's targeting €4.25 billion to €4.4 billion of adjusted revenues. The company's brands include Grippostad, which helps treat colds and flu infections, and Hirudoid cream for bruises and hematoma. Bain and Cinven agreed to buy Stada for €5.3 billion in 2017, a deal that gave them control of one of Europe's last independent generic-drug companies. --With assistance from Pamela Barbaglia.
