Tonix Pharmaceuticals stock halted ahead of FDA approval news
VIRGINIA BEACH - Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:IVP) has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire an unnamed New Jersey-based animal hospital, according to a press release issued Thursday. The company, currently valued at $3.85 million in market capitalization, has been facing challenges with InvestingPro data showing significant cash burn and a debt-to-equity ratio of 5.07.
The proposed acquisition, expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, would add approximately $2 million in annual revenue to the company’s operations and increase its network of animal hospitals to 15 across 11 states. This would represent a notable addition to IVP’s current annual revenue of $15.4 million, though the company’s gross profit margin stands at 18.84%.
The multi-doctor general practice offers services for companion animals, including surgical procedures, dental, and wellness care. If completed, this would mark Inspire’s first location in New Jersey.
"This proposed addition of our first New Jersey location would mark an important milestone in our growth strategy," said Kimball Carr, Inspire’s President and Chief Executive Officer, in the statement.
The transaction remains subject to due diligence and execution of a definitive acquisition agreement. No financial terms of the potential deal were disclosed.
Inspire Veterinary Partners currently operates animal hospitals across 10 states: California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia.
The company, which is listed on the Nasdaq, focuses on acquiring and operating veterinary hospitals throughout the United States, including general practice, mixed animal facilities, and critical and emergency care services.
In other recent news, Inspire Veterinary Partners announced a $10 million convertible preferred stock transaction. The company expects to generate $6 million from cash and securities investment at the initial closing, with an additional $4 million potentially available at the discretion of investors. In a separate development, Kimball Carr, currently the Chief Executive Officer, has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Board by the company’s directors. This appointment was made with unanimous consent, and Carr will serve in this role until a successor is appointed or other conditions arise. There are no existing arrangements or understandings related to Carr’s appointment, nor does he have any family ties with other company officers or directors. Additionally, Carr does not have any material interests in transactions requiring disclosure under SEC regulations. These developments mark significant changes within Inspire Veterinary Partners.
