GE HealthCare to acquire Intelerad, advancing cloud-enabled enterprise imaging across care settings

  • Creates a fully-connected, cloud-first imaging ecosystem spanning high-growth outpatient and ambulatory, teleradiology and hospital settings
  • Brings AI and workflow orchestration, cloud PACS, and image sharing, all in a SaaS business model, to GE HealthCare
  • Offers attractive return profile given high growth, recurring revenue base and strong margin profile of Intelerad, along with valuable synergies
  • Combines the extensive AI portfolio of GE HealthCare with Intelerad’s cloud and AI orchestration capabilities to accelerate GE HealthCare’s precision care journey

GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Intelerad, a leading medical imaging software provider for the healthcare industry, for a purchase price of $2.3 billion paid in cash. This acquisition demonstrates GE HealthCare’s continued commitment to cloud-enabled and AI-powered solutions across care settings and furthers the company’s aim to triple its offerings of cloud-enabled products by 2028.

Intelerad is a leading medical imaging software and digital enterprise workflow solutions company with a significant presence in outpatient ambulatory care settings. Its cloud-first products are designed for radiology and cardiology and extend across both inpatient and outpatient care settings. Intelerad’s leading outpatient footprint complements GE HealthCare’s leadership in hospital-based imaging. Together, these combined capabilities will create a more comprehensive, cloud-first and AI-enabled imaging offering spanning diverse care settings—from large academic medical centers to rapidly expanding ambulatory networks.

"As hospital and ambulatory care providers face increased demand for imaging and rising patient volumes, they are looking to simplify and unify their workflows," said Peter Arduini, President and CEO of GE HealthCare. "Our acquisition of Intelerad will bring additional cloud-enabled and intelligent solutions in radiology and cardiology into our portfolio of products and extend our capabilities into outpatient networks, enabling care teams to be more efficient, improve outcomes, and deliver precision care for patients globally. As a result, we expect to accelerate our growth in SaaS products and recurring revenues as we take another evolutionary step to grow into a healthcare solutions provider.”

“Intelerad is an outstanding strategic fit and is a pioneer in cloud-based imaging software, with a strong portfolio of world-class solutions across care settings. By combining GE HealthCare’s medical device and AI competence at global scale with Intelerad’s enterprise cloud and imaging expertise, we will be even better positioned to meet the evolving needs of healthcare providers, simplify complex workflows, and drive digital innovation across the industry,” said Roland Rott, President and CEO of Imaging at GE HealthCare.

“Joining GE HealthCare marks an exciting new chapter for Intelerad. GE HealthCare’s global scale and extensive relationships with key decision makers across hospital systems will fuel the expansion of our connected imaging software offering. Together, we look forward to advancing digital innovation in healthcare and delivering more integrated AI-enabled solutions that empower our customers to tackle their greatest challenges,” said Jordan Bazinsky, the CEO of Intelerad.

Benefits of the Transaction

Accelerates GE HealthCare’s Digital Transformation

The acquisition is highly complementary to GE HealthCare’s prominent inpatient footprint by expanding to outpatient and ambulatory care settings. By harnessing these two complementary and scaled product offerings, the combined business will broaden customer reach and delivers a comprehensive, integrated imaging solution across multiple care settings. In addition, Intelerad’s business model accelerates GE HealthCare’s shift towards a SaaS model and significantly increases recurring revenue.

Enables GE HealthCare to expand into a $2 billion-plus growth segment

Outpatient enterprise imaging presents an attractive high-growth, $2 billion-plus opportunity for GE HealthCare worldwide. Cloud-based or cloud-native solutions are expected to grow at a double-digit rate in the medium term driven by accelerating global cloud and SaaS adoption, procedure shift to outpatient settings, and demand for integrated solutions that can increase operating efficiencies.

Delivers Highly Attractive Financial Benefits

GE HealthCare estimates that Intelerad’s revenues in the first full year of ownership will be approximately $270 million, of which approximately 90% is recurring, and Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) margin will be in excess of 30%. Intelerad revenue is growing in the low-double-digit range annually and is expected to accelerate under GE HealthCare in the combined entity. Upon close, GE HealthCare expects this transaction to be immediately accretive to top line growth and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) margin1. Inclusive of the impact of financing costs, GE HealthCare expects the transaction to be slightly dilutive to Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)1 in the short term, and the company plans to offset this with cost efficiencies. GE HealthCare expects a high-single-digit return on invested capital by year five.

Approvals and Financing

The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. GE HealthCare intends to fund this transaction with cash on hand and proceeds from debt financing.

Advisors

For GE HealthCare, Evercore is serving as exclusive financial advisor and Sidley Austin LLP as deal counsel. For Intelerad, UBS Investment Bank is serving as exclusive financial advisor and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as deal counsel.

Additional Background
