Funds raised will be applied towards the recently announced acquisition of Victorian Equine Group and Romsey Veterinary Surgery, undertake further acquisitions and reduce debt.

Acquiring VEG follows the successful acquisitions earlier in FY22 of Scenic Rim Veterinary Service (QLD) and Agnes Banks Equine Clinic (NSW) which are also equine referral clinics. With other recent clinic acquisitions in south-east Queensland hub-and-spoke model is performing well and has delivered excellent growth across the region.

Based on the $20.25m raise, formal approval from NAB for a $20m increase in Apiam’s acquisitions facility and strong free cash, Apiam will be set up to deliver on our $300m base revenue target by FY24 – effectively doubling our revenue base in two years.
