NEW YORK, June 11 (Reuters) - O Positiv Health is
exploring a sale that could value the women's health supplements
company at around $1 billion, according to three people familiar
with the matter.
The founder-owned business is working with investment bank
Jefferies on the sale effort, said the sources, who added that O
Positiv is projecting $275 million of revenue this year after
generating around $225 million in 2024.
The sources cautioned that no deal was guaranteed, and spoke
on condition of anonymity to discuss private information.
Jefferies declined to comment. O Positiv did not respond to
a comment request.
Siblings Bobby and Brianna Bitton launched O Positiv in
2018. The company makes vitamins and probiotics that address a
variety of health concerns, from PMS and menopause symptoms to
vaginal and gut health.
The products are sold on the company's website, as well as
through retailers including Walmart ( WMT ), Target ( TGT ) and
Amazon ( AMZN ).
Consumer health companies and private equity firms alike
have put more emphasis on investing in the women's health space
in recent years, which has created a significant pool of buyers
for brands founded by entrepreneurs.
Such deals include Pharmavite buying Bonafide in November
2023 and L Catterton, in partnership with actress Naomi Watts,
acquiring Stripes Beauty last year.
