ifa systems acquires a
majority stake in ophthalmology patient communication
platform in the USA
ifa united itech Inc., based in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida (USA), a 100% subsidiary of ifa systems AG,
acquires an 80 percent majority stake in Sophrona
Solutions, Inc. based in North Oaks, Minnesota (USA)
with effect from October 31, 2020. With almost 2,000
installations, Sophrona is a leading portal platform
in the USA for online communication between patients
and doctors in ophthalmology. In 2019, the company
generated revenues of USD 1.6 million.
With this acquisition, ifa systems significantly
increases its presence in the American market and
creates new growth potential. At the same time, the
cooperation provides access to the European market
for Sophrona and its open standard solutions. With
this strategic transaction, ifa systems AG further
expands its position as an integration platform for
ophthalmologists and eye clinics.
The purchase price is within a low single-digit
million range, financed from existing liquid funds in
ifa systems. Sophrona will be included in ifa's
consolidated financial statements from the date of
the acquisition. The board does not expect the
acquisition to have a material impact on the group
financial result for the year 2020, which is expected
to be between EUR 0.2 - 0.5mn (EBIT) for the fiscal
year.
