Hexagon acquires ETQ, adding market-leading SaaS-based QMS software platform to its portfolio

Published

on

 

Hexagon AB, a global leader in digital reality solutions combining sensor, software and autonomous technologies, today announced the acquisition of ETQ, a leading provider of SaaS-based QMS (quality management system), EHS (environment, health and safety) and compliance management software.

Customers have long relied on ETQ’s future-ready, truly multi-tenant QMS solution, ETQ Reliance. It provides the data backbone for automating the collection and delivery of manufacturing quality control data, non-conformance reports, customer feedback and more, providing an enterprise view of quality management across the entire product lifecycle. Its broad portfolio of best-in-class applications comes with out-of-the-box functionality and no-code configurability, enabling customers to tailor the solution to their unique needs and optimise critical business processes to achieve their quality, safety and environmental goals.    

“Our leadership in quality data capture and smart digital realities makes ETQ an excellent fit. The acquisition brings a mix of talent and deep quality expertise across extensive industry verticals, targeting the rapidly widening gap between quality data creation and leverage,” says Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén. “Integrating data from our metrology systems with Reliance leads to increasing levels of autonomy that improve a customer’s ability to put quality and process data to work. ETQ also enables connectivity of quality data and processes across supply chains, bringing suppliers and customers into one system.”

ETQ’s advanced data management capabilities, driven by machine learning and artificial intelligence, make quality data fully actionable and available further upstream. Not only does this reduce defects, scrap, rework, and recalls, but it also enables an autonomous feedback loop, digital information trail and virtuous cycle of continuous improvement.

“Hexagon has long been in the business of enabling customers to realise the benefits that data-driven automation and product quality insights bring, including the freedom to create the undisputed factory floor of tomorrow—one that is self-sufficient, self-monitoring, self-optimising and self-repairing,” continued Rollén. “With our global footprint, vertical synergies and good customer fit, which includes our recently acquired EAM business, ETQ is poised for rapid growth. We’re proud to welcome ETQ to the family as we continue to accelerate our journey to the cloud and build the world’s leading quality stack from shop floor to top floor.”

Founded in 1992, ETQ is headquartered in Massachusetts, USA, with additional offices in Arizona, USA and Dublin, Ireland. With 185 employees, its team of quality experts drive customer success across diverse industries—life sciences, healthcare, heavy manufacturing, electronics, food and beverage, heavy process, automotive and more. ETQ will operate as part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division.

Transaction overview
ETQ is expected to generate revenues of around 75 MUSD in 2022 with an adjusted operating margin of over 35 per cent (cash EBITDA margins of around 45 per cent, reflecting a SaaS prepayment model). ETQ has been driving its customer base to SaaS, which is expected to account for half of bookings in 2022 and has been growing at a trailing 3-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 60 per cent. Given the strong fit across Hexagon’s manufacturing and process industries and the significant scope for geographical expansion, the transaction is expected to generate sales synergies of over 40 MUSD, with very strong incremental margins, by 2026.

Transaction and integration costs including surplus values in the purchase price allocations (PPA) and deferred revenue adjustments affecting the income statement will be communicated as soon as the calculations are completed.

Hexagon will pay a purchase price of 1,200 MUSD for ETQ on a cash and debt free basis. The cash consideration will be fully financed via existing debt facilities resulting in a proforma net debt to EBITDA ratio of approximately 2.0 after the transaction. ETQ will be accretive to Hexagon’s adjusted earnings (before PPA and other purchase accounting adjustments) as of closing.

Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, which are expected to be fully completed by early in the second quarter 2022.

AI in the context of life science analytics refers to the use of AI techniques and tools for the analysis of biological as well as environmental data. With the use of artificial intelligence (AI), life science analytics may make better use of complex healthcare, medical, and scientific information by applying high-level computational algorithms. 
The goal of life science analytics is to find useful patterns in massive amounts of medical, clinical, and biological data by applying various data analysis tools and techniques. Because of its superior computing and learning capabilities, AI is indispensable in improving life science analytics. The demand for more accurate and tailored techniques in healthcare and the life sciences, together with the rising availability of data, is projected to propel artificial intelligence in the life science analytics market to new heights as the discipline undergoes more development.
Pharmaceutical spending on complex diseases like cancer is on the rise, which is fueling the expansion of artificial intelligence in the life science analytics industry. However, implementing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions can be prohibitive for smaller organizations, making investing in the necessary technology and training difficult.

Market Dynamics:
Drivers- 
The growing demand for AI in the life science analytics market is fueled by the exponential growth of data in the life sciences. Conventional methods of data analysis need to be revised in the face of the enormous amounts of biological, clinical, and healthcare data produced by genomics, proteomics, and electronic health records. Artificial intelligence (AI) has arisen as a game-changing solution because of its superior processing capabilities; it can handle and derive valuable insights from these immense and complicated datasets with ease. Incredible possibilities for pattern discovery, disease outcome prediction, and optimization of healthcare and life sciences research await in the mountains of data. Utilizing AI, researchers, healthcare experts, and pharmaceutical businesses can easily integrate and analyze various forms of data, which in turn allows them to uncover useful insights.
Challenges:
The prime challenge is a lack of awareness, a shortage of competent individuals, and a lack of norms and protocol because of lockdowns and isolation in emerging countries, which is predicted to slow the growth of AI in the life science analytics market. The low level of implementation of AI in several healthcare settings. There is no denying AI’s revolutionary promise in healthcare, yet smaller or less tech-savvy healthcare organizations face challenges when trying to integrate these new technologies. In these contexts, adoption is more gradual because of a lack of resources, including both financial commitment and trained staff. Implementing AI systems is complex, necessitating specialized training and infrastructure changes, which adds to the already existing difficulties. In addition, the health and life science sectors were helped by the COVID-19 epidemic. There was a dramatic uptick in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for life science analytics as a response to the epidemic, which prompted the industry to speed up innovation in the face of such a dire threat. During the pandemic, markets worldwide grew because of AI-driven discoveries, not the months-long and similarly costly traditional methods of vaccine recognition.
Regional Trends:
The North American AI in life science analytics market is anticipated to record a large market share in terms of revenue. It is projected to grow at a high CAGR in the near future due to the high need for AI solutions in almost every field of life science. Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for biotech, precision medicine, and drug development are in high demand in this country. Besides, Asia Pacific had a remarkable share in the market due to the fact that numerous research firms have ramped up their investments in artificial intelligence software and technology in an effort to boost operational efficiency.
