Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses. #PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusinessExit #SearchFund #EBITDA #DealSourcing #SMB #BusinessAcquisition #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:18:12.773861+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630"},"episode":{"title":"How Private Equity Is Buying Up Physical Therapy Chains","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-physical-therapy-chains","published_at":"2026-06-18T04:38:59+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-physical-therapy-chains","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0059.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0059.mp3","summary":"Private equity firms have been consolidating physical therapy clinics at a rapid pace, with the largest platforms now operating over 1,000 locations each. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the economics behind these roll-ups: why PT clinics are attractive targets, how the consolidation affects patient care and therapist compensation, and the growing backlash from clinicians who say the model prioritizes productivity over outcomes. The hosts walk through a specific case: the rise and recent turbulence of ATI Physical Therapy, which went public via SPAC in 2021 and has since seen its stock fall over 90 percent. They also discuss the role of Medicare reimbursement changes and the shift toward value-based care. If you've ever wondered why your local PT clinic now has a corporate logo and a central billing office, this episode explains what's happening behind the scenes. #PrivateEquity #PhysicalTherapy #HealthcareRollUps #ATIPhysicalTherapy #PEBackedClinics #Consolidation #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HealthcareInvesting #SPAC #MedicareReimbursement #ValueBasedCare #PTClinics #TheBuyoutShow #PrivateEquityRollUps #HealthcareConsolidation #TherapyChains Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Private equity firms have been consolidating physical therapy clinics at a rapid pace, with the largest platforms now operating over 1,000 locations each.…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":502,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/episodes/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-physical-therapy-chains/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-physical-therapy-chains.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
