Aquisição da Clínica AMO É Neutra Para Rating da Dasa

Tue 06 Jul, 2021 - 2:31 PM ET

Fitch Ratings-Rio de Janeiro-06 July 2021: A aquisição de até 100% do capital social da Paquetá Participações S.A. e da AMO Participações S.A, detentoras da GEM Assistência Médica Especializada S.A. (Clínica AMO), pela Ímpar Serviços Hospitalares S.A. (Ímpar) não afeta a qualidade de crédito de sua controladora, a Diagnósticos da América S.A. (Dasa). A transação foi anunciada em 30 de junho por BRL750 milhões.

A Fitch Ratings classifca a Dasa e a Ímpar, bem como suas respectivas emissões de debêntures, com Rating Nacional de Longo Prazo 'AAA(bra)'. A Perspectiva dos ratings corporativos é Estável.

O cenário de rating da Dasa já incorporava que mesmo com eventuais aquisições a empresa conseguiria manter sua alavancagem fnanceira líquida abaixo de 2,5 vezes a partir de 2022. A recente operação fortalece a escala de negócios e de receitas da Dasa, além de sua presença na Bahia, em Sergipe e no Rio Grande do Norte, e está alinhada à estratégia de verticalizar a prestação de serviços médico-hospitalares, o que deve contribuir para incrementar suas margens operacionais a médio prazo. A Clínica AMO conta com 16 unidades que prestam atendimento exclusivo a pacientes oncológicos, incluindo atendimento ambulatorial e cirurgias. A operação está pendente de aprovação pelo Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (Cade).

Em bases proforma, considerando esta e outras aquisições já realizadas, a alavancagem fnanceira líquida da Dasa, medida por dívida líquida/EBITDA, fcará próxima a 2,0 vezes em

2022. A agência considera o limite de 2,5 vezes para este indicador, em bases recorrentes, para um rebaixamento dos ratings. O cenário-base incorpora a captura de geração operacional de caixa e sinergias desta e das empresas adquiridas anteriormente, além da maturação dos investimentos e de uma contínua e disciplinada administração de custos.

A Dasa deve manter uma reserva de caixa compatível com o cronograma de vencimento de sua dívida e possui amplas condições de fazer a frente à compra da Clínica AMO. Em 31 de março de 2021, a companhia reportou caixa e aplicações fnanceiras de aproximadamente BRL1,6 bilhão, com dívida total de BRL6,3 bilhões e vencimento de curto prazo de BRL1,3 bilhão. Em abril, o grupo reforçou sua liquidez com mais BRL3,6 bilhões líquidos decorrentes de seu IPO, que foram destinados a fnanciar seu plano de expansão, incluindo a amortização do saldo de aquisições previamente anunciadas. A Dasa possui comprovada fexibilidade fnanceira junto ao mercado de crédito local e não deve enfrentar difculdades para refnanciar sua dívida, caso necessário.

A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report.

Such fees generally vary from US,000 to US,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue.
