QHS LLC Announces 2018 Transaction Details

Looking ahead, we see a bit of headwind in 2019 as our telecommunications sector is now quite mature.  However, there is quite a lot of upside in our healthcare sector, but the deals tend to take a bit longer in that industry.”

QHS LLC Announces 2016 Transaction Details

Jan. 15, 2017 — QHS LLC announces the successful completion of 10 M&A engagements and the active management of 51 FCC license leases.

QHS is a boutique investment banking firm that provides seller-side and lessor-side representation to owners of businesses and assets in industries undergoing consolidation. QHS specializes in representing clients in wireless telecommunication infrastructure transactions, lease negotiations and lease management. In addition to telecom, QHS is actively seeking healthcare industry engagements.

Mitch Steidl, Founder and Managing Director of QHS stated, “This was a solid year for us in a relatively challenging period.  Consolidation in healthcare has been placed in a large part on hold due to the uncertainty of the presidential election and how that will effect Obamacare, and the wireless telecom carriers seem to have enough spectrum for the near and intermediate term which has slowed their acquisition activity.  Our 10 closed telecom transactions were a testament to QHS’ ability to withstand the challenges of the year.  We expect a rather slow 2017 while US businesses plan new strategies based on the new presidential administration.”

QHS LLC Announces 2015 Transaction Details

Dec. 31, 2015 — QHS LLC announces the successful completion of 13 client engagements in the telecommunications industry and continues to manage 51 FCC license leases. QHS LLC is a boutique investment banking firm that, among other services, primarily provides seller-side representation to owners of telecommunication and healthcare assets.

From Mitch Steidl, founder of QHS, “The healthcare industry continues to be a source of optimism, but we don’t expect fast results in the industry.  As a result, we expect a slowdown in deal-flow over the next few years as we delve deeper into the sale of Urgent Care Facilities.  The wireless telecom sector continues to prove fruitful, but buyers have been a bit cautious as a result of Auction 97′s completion.  At least for the moment, there seems to be enough spectrum available with the large carriers to satisfy their needs.  As a result, deal flow has slowed.  We will continue to explore options for growth during this transitional period.”

QHS LLC Announces 2014 Transaction Details

QHS LLC Announces 2014 Transaction Details

Jan. 10, 2015 — QHS LLC proudly announces the successful completion of 10 M&A engagements, the completion of two value consulting engagements, and the active management of 51 FCC license leases.

QHS is a boutique investment banking firm that provides seller-side and lessor-side representation to owners of businesses and assets in industries undergoing consolidation. QHS specializes in representing clients in wireless telecommunication infrastructure transactions, lease negotiations and lease management. QHS recently expanded its area of emphasis to the healthcare industry.

Mitch Steidl, Founder and Managing Director of QHS said, “We had a solid year as we began the transition into client development in the healthcare industry. Our 10 closed telecom transactions were a testament to QHS’ resiliency in the wireless industry.  The quiet period associated with FCC Auction 97 kept a lid on a great deal of acquisition activity.  We have been diligently working the healthcare industry, but I see the deal cycle in the industry to be much longer than that of the telecom world.”

Mitch Steidl, Founder and Managing Director of QHS commented, "What a year! We feel privileged to be recognized by SNL-Kagan Financial LLC as the top M&A Advisor in the telecommunications industry. We closed 25 transactions, the second closest M&A advisor closed 21, and the third highest advisor did just 10 transactions. With the coming FCC auctions and the quiet period associated with them, I highly doubt we'll repeat this type of transaction performance in the wireless telecom industry in the foreseeable future. As such, I've had the company change our focus. We'll remain competitive in telcom, but we look forward to reporting on our progress in 2014 and beyond based on the new direction…healthcare."

We had one of our best years in terms of number of transactions completed. Further, we set a new record for deal volume. The macro-market seems to be turning the corner, and we expect more of the same in 2013 based on our backlog of deals, the number of client deals to be negotiated, and the industry we have been developing for the past several months." added Mitch Steidl, Founder and Managing Director of QHS.

QHS is a boutique investment banking firm that provides seller-side and lessor-side representation to owners of businesses and assets in industries undergoing consolidation.

In reality, we had an absolute record year with 34 deals completed. However, 23 of them were in the FCC's processing mill for almost two years, so those closings were actually reflective of work we did back in 2007. None-the-less, QHS continued to succeed in a tough macro-M&A environment as a result of our portfolio methodology."

We have made minor adjustments to personnel numbers in the face of what is projected to be a generally tough 2009. That said, we are incredibly excited about the 2.1 GHz relocation work we are doing as it has just begun to pay off for us and for our clients."
