Apex Logistics Group

Industrials · 3PL & supply chain · Fund II · Exited 2023
Northbridge acquired Apex Logistics in 2017 as a regional third-party logistics platform with $85M of revenue and a founder-led team. Over a six-and-a-half-year hold, the firm executed five bolt-on acquisitions across the Southeast, installed a new CFO and COO, and deployed a modern TMS platform with network optimization — expanding EBITDA margins roughly 500 basis points. Apex was sold to a Fortune 500 strategic acquirer in 2023 at 3.8x invested capital, a 34% gross IRR.

Cardinal Health Systems

Healthcare services · RCM SaaS · Fund III · Acquired 2021
Cardinal Health Systems, acquired in 2021, is a revenue-cycle-management software and services provider for mid-sized hospital systems. Northbridge’s thesis — shift the business from services to recurring SaaS — is playing out: ARR has grown from $40M at entry to $118M, gross retention has improved to 94%, and three tuck-in acquisitions added payer analytics capabilities. The company launched an AI-assisted coding module and now runs at a 22% EBITDA margin, up from negative at entry. The position is marked at 2.6x.
