    Joana's questions to Privia Health Group (PRVA) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Inquired about the M&A pipeline, asking if the company plans to pursue more deals immediately or focus on integrating the Arizona acquisition first, and also asked about typical valuation multiples for such deals.

    Answer

    The executive confirmed the M&A pipeline remains strong and they are continuously looking for opportunities in new and existing states. As a disciplined buyer focused on EBITDA and free cash flow, any significant capital deployment, like the Arizona deal, would be expected to come with a significant earnings contribution. They are in a position of strength to capitalize on opportunities but did not comment on specific valuation multiples.
