Hims & Hers Announces Plans to Acquire ZAVA Online Doctor

Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE: HIMS), the leading health and wellness platform, has announced a significant step in its global expansion through its agreement to acquire ZAVA, a leading digital health platform in Europe. This strategic move will expand Hims & Hers' footprint in the United Kingdom and will officially launch the company into Germany, France, and Ireland, with more markets anticipated soon. This acquisition is expected to accelerate Hims & Hers' vision to deliver the same seamless, personalized care experience it has successfully built in the U.S. to millions more people globally. Hims & Hers will establish its own branded presence, leveraging the robust ZAVA platform, in each of these European markets in the coming quarters.

By combining ZAVA’s trusted European operations, medical rigor, and seamless digital experience with Hims & Hers’ proven, trusted brand, the company is poised to become a leader in digital health globally, delivering access to personalized care that meets people where they are. This strategic acquisition will significantly strengthen Hims & Hers' international footprint. Serving more than 1.3 million active customers, ZAVA’s in-house medical team delivered nearly 2.3 million consultations in 2024 across the UK, Germany, France, and Ireland.

Hims & Hers will soon introduce a new, personalized dimension of digital health in Europe, providing individuals with access to care tailored to their specific needs and goals across dermatology, weight loss, sexual health and mental health. To ensure a world-class and localized experience, this expansion will include access to British, German, and French healthcare providers in local languages. While Hims & Hers will share more about the offerings and their rollout in the coming months, they expect the deal to be accretive by 2026.

“The demand for simpler, more personalized healthcare is universal,” said Andrew Dudum, founder and CEO of Hims & Hers. “By leveraging ZAVA's established European presence, cutting-edge technology, and deep customer understanding, we're poised to fundamentally transform access to care for millions across Europe. Whether in rural towns, vibrant cities, or remote communities across Europe, people battling widespread, often silent chronic conditions like obesity, depression, and more will have access to the personalized, high-quality care they deserve.”

“Wherever you live, the need is the same: healthcare that’s personal, trustworthy and fast. By joining forces with Hims & Hers, we can put that standard within reach of millions more people across Europe,” said David Meinertz, co-founder and CEO of ZAVA. “Together we’ll pair ZAVA’s trusted clinical services, established footprint, and deep understanding of the European healthcare landscape with the Hims & Hers experience to make affordable access to high-quality, personalized care the rule, not the exception. I’m thrilled to be working with Andrew and his team. It’s still day one for digital healthcare, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve for patients in the years ahead.”

The acquisition consideration will be comprised of 100% cash, to be funded from the company's balance sheet at closing. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025, and Hims & Hers expects to continue expanding globally as demand for personalized healthcare continues to grow.
