Q1 2025 Behavioral Health Update

Q1 was a landmark quarter in autism services as two large PE-backed platforms traded to private equity firms at strong valuations. With each successful secondary sale, the market continues to gain steam and elicit significant private equity interest. Provident expects this momentum to continue with other PE-backed assets coming to market throughout 2025.

Based on feedback from recent sales processes, platforms with strong teams that exhibit solid same stores sales growth as well as a proven de novo growth playbook will attract the most interest and yield favorable valuation outcomes. While many of the strategic buyers sit on the sidelines and focus on organic growth, Provident expects most transaction volume to be characterized by private equity platform deals throughout the remainder of 2025.
