BrightSpring Health Services Inc. (BTSG) stock soared 5.01% in the pre-market session on Tuesday, following the company's announcement to divest its Community Living division, including ResCare Community Living, to Sevita for $835 million in cash.
The divestment move is expected to streamline BrightSpring's service portfolio and enhance its focus on Home Health and Hospice, Personal Care, Rehabilitation Services, and Primary Care. The company anticipates operational efficiencies and synergies from the divestiture, boosting revenue and EBITDA growth.
BrightSpring plans to utilize the proceeds from the deal, expected to close in 2025, primarily for debt reduction, improving its balance sheet, and lowering interest expenses. The company also raised its revenue guidance for 2024 and 2025, reflecting the positive impact of the strategic divestment.
