AmerisourceBergen Corporation announced it will buy wholesaler H. D. Smith for $815 million in cash.

AmerisourceBergen said it plans to issue new long-term debt to fund the purchase. It expects revenue growth to be in the range of 8% to 11% next year, it said.

H. D. Smith customers include retail pharmacies, specialty pharmacies and long-term care facilities.

“This acquisition also builds upon our foundation and meaningfully expands our support for independent community pharmacies,” said Steven H. Collis, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of AmerisourceBergen. “We remain committed to building our business to meet the evolving needs of our customers, driving long-term value for the healthcare system and delivering compelling returns for our shareholders.”

H. D. Smith subsidiaries Triplefin, a pharmaceutical brand support provider, and Arete Pharmacy Network, a pharmacy services administrative organization, are not included in the deal.
