U.S. ECONOMY: SOFTWARE INDUSTRY MACROECONOMICS


We begin our review of 2010, as always, with a brief synopsis of U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) behavior over the course of the year. GDP is best defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports. When we published our 2009 Annual Report a year ago in January 2010, 4Q09 GDP was forecast to rise 5.7%. While the actual increase of 5.0%, equating to $46 billion, fell a bit short, it nonetheless encouraged a good many to believe GDP growth at and above that level was sustainable in 2010 (Figure 1). They were quickly disappointed, as GDP growth on an annualized basis declined to 3.7% in 1Q10. Whatever optimism remained soon faded, as the economy registered 1.7% annualized growth in 2Q10, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) forecast another disappointing 1.7% gain for 3Q10 as well. By that time, some economic pundits began warning of a double dip recession, citing stubbornly high unemployment, continuing housing woes and a distinct lack of consumer confidence which foreshadowed disappointing retail sales in the all-important fourth quarter. Some of those worries eased when the BEA announced 2.6% GDP growth in 3Q10. With consumer spending over the 2010 holiday season growing 5.5%, the Bureau of Economic Analysis 1| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT (BEA) is predicting GDP will improve again in 4Q10, rising a modest 3.2% (Figure 1). As for 2011, economists surveyed by Bloomberg in August 2010 estimated the GDP growth rate would be 2.5% in 2011, and in September 2010 economists at Goldman Sachs lowered their 2011 forecast of U.S. GDP growth to 1.9%. But in December, thanks to a white Christmas and some updraft from stimulus spending, PIMCO and Goldman Sachs upped their 2011 U.S. GDP growth forecasts to 3.5% and 3.4%, respectively. A bit more cautious, the Fed estimated in November 2010 GDP growth in 2011 would be 3.0% to 3.6%. The latest, more optimistic forecasts seem credible in light of recently released economic data. The U.S. Conference Boards Leading Economic Index (LEI) increased 0.4% in October, 1.1% in November and 1.0% in December, marking the fourth consecutive month of LEI growth after a brief pause in the second quarter of 2010. The Index is now roughly 8% higher than its July 2007 peak. Looking a bit closer at the Conference Boards LEI, six of ten indicators increased in December. The positive contributors, beginning with the largest positive contributor, were building permits, interest rate spread, average weekly initial claims, stock prices, index of consumer expectations and www.softwareequity.com

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. manufacturers new orders of nondefense capital goods. The negative contributors were the index of supplier deliveries and manufacturers new orders for consumer goods and materials. The average weekly manufacturing hours and real money supply held steady in December. It seems the modest improvement in GDP growth had a modest impact on unemployment. The U.S. unemployment rate was 9.4% as 2010 ended, still disturbingly high, but an improvement over the 2010 peak of 9.7% in 1Q10 (Figure 1). Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 103,000 jobs in December, with leisure, healthcare and hospitality adding jobs, while other industries saw little change. While no cause for celebration, serious job cutting appears to have subsided, and we believe 2011 will see continued improvement.

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions 5% - 7% growth in domestic IT capital spending, not quite up to par with 2010, but that could change if the U.S. economy improves beyond current forecasts. It appears most of 2011s IT capital spending will remain focused on infrastructure, as enterprise CIOs seek to further enhance their IT ROI. Indeed, infrastructure IT categories constitute eight of the top ten IT spending priorities for enterprise CIOs, according to the latest Goldman Sachs Survey (Figure 2). Despite the focus on infrastructure, SaaS applications are finally getting some respect form enterprise CIOs. SaaS applications ranked 4th highest among all product categories in the Goldman Sachs Spending Survey, while spending for on-premise enterprise applications ranked 18th. In fact, 25% of CTOs said they would increase spending on SaaS applications, compared with only 6% planning to spend more on internally hosted applications.

IT SPENDING
As a reminder, SEG considers enterprise IT spending to be one of the most important bellwethers of downstream public software company financial performance and M&A activity. Our readers will recall that large enterprises cut back sharply on spending for software, hardware and IT services in 2009 during the economic downturn. After IT spending increases of 9% in 2007 and 6% in 2008, IT capital spending declined by more than 10% in 2009. The spending cut had an almost immediate and traumatic impact on public software company revenue. To provide some perspective, we estimate every percentage increase/decrease in IT spending equates to approximately $5 billion. Enterprise customers loosened their purse strings a bit and domestic IT capital spending grew 7% 8% in 2010 according to IT Spending Surveys conducted by Goldman Sachs, Gartner and others. A good deal of that was holdover spending from 2009 when many enterprises implemented IT spending freezes. The majority of 2010s IT capital dollars were focused on infrastructure, IT expense reduction and productivity enhancements, including server virtualization, desktop virtualization, network storage and security. For 2011, most economists are projecting roughly 2| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

The latest IT spending surveys underscore how CTOs are continuing to gain comfort with SaaS deployed applications. Tight budgets and lower entry costs have helped, and concerns about security have dissipated somewhat. Of the CTOs surveyed, 55% were using some form of cloud computing today and 90% expected to be in the cloud within three years. Historically, enterprise www.softwareequity.com

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. SaaS spending has been focused on less mission critical applications such as CRM and workforce management, and more recently on discrete, functionally specific SaaS applications such as expense management and supply chain/extranet collaboration. While the jury is still out about whether large numbers of enterprises will entrust mission critical tasks and data to third party hosts, there is now little doubt that cloud computing will consume a considerably larger share of the enterprise IT budget in the coming years. Theres another bright spot on the IT spending horizon. Gartners head of research, Peter Sondergaard, said recently, Emerging economies continue to be the locomotive of enterprise IT spending, substantially outpacing developed economies. Goldman Sachs echoed this sentiment, forecasting 10% international IT spending growth in 2011. What does that mean for private software company sellers that may be contemplating exit in the next three to five years? Smaller (<$50 million revenue) companies that have been very cautious about aggressively pursuing international business, setting up overseas sales offices and signing foreign distributors because of risk, cost and distraction may now be well advised to look

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions beyond North America for incremental growth. Reputable distributors with proven track records in carefully targeted international territories are a good place to start.

PUBLIC SOFTWARE COMPANY STOCK PERFORMANCE


The major U.S. stock market indices waxed and waned through most of the first three quarters of 2010, moving in and out of negative territory three times, reflecting continuing uncertainty and investor fears about the sustainability of the economic recovery, stubbornly high unemployment, the huge federal deficit and continuing economic woes in the European Union. However, late in the third quarter and throughout the fourth quarter, forecasts of sharply higher consumer spending in the holiday season and a stream of favorable earnings announcements buoyed investor confidence and drove up stock prices. The Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ closed the year up 11.0%, 12.8% and 16.9%, respectively, from the first trading day of 2010 (Figure 3). The SEG Software Index, our tracking survey of 161 publicly traded software companies, consistently outperformed the major stock market indices in

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. 2010. As of December 31, the median stock price of the SEG Software Index reflected a 22.0% gain over its January 4 opening price. Investors, it seems, continued to resonate with the software industrys downside buffer - the ability to sustain and grow healthy operating margins despite lackluster revenue growth, but also were willing to place more upside bets on the software industrys ability to quickly capitalize on material improvement in the GDP growth rate. Another factor was likely at play, as well. The financial and stock perfomance of some, whetted the appetities of many. Apples stellar iPad and IPhone successes, the astronomical private stock valuations of Facebook, Groupon, Twitter and LinkedIn, and the rapid growth and expansion of large public firms such as Google, Amazon and Netflix created an updraft that lifted the stock prices and EV/Rev valuations of many other public software and technology companies. As a result, 179 out of the 238 (75.2%) public companies comprising our Software, SaaS and Internet indices reported higher year-to-date (YTD) stock prices at the close of 2010. Ten achieved YTD market returns greater than 145% (Figure 4). Figure 4: High Flyers 2010 Stock Market Return

The median enterprise value to revenue (EV/Revenue) multiple for all public companies comprising our SEG Software Index was 2.3x in 2010, virtually the same as 2007s EV/Revenue multiple, and a major improvement over 2009s 4| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

During the first three quarters of 2010, risk adverse investors continued to favor the largest (annual revenue) public software companies over their much smaller counterparts. For example, in 3Q10, SEG Software Index companies with revenues greater than $1 billion posted a median EV/Revenue multiple of 2.9x, compared to a median multiple of 2.2x for companies with revenues between $100 million and $200 million. In Q4, however, concerns about the economy eased, tech sector success stories abounded, www.softwareequity.com

enthusiasm grew and pent-up demand could no longer be contained. The median EV/Revenue multiple of SEG Software Index companies with revenues between $100 million and $200 million soared to 3.5x, and the median EV/Revenue multiple of public software companies with revenues greater than $200 million and less than $1 billion increased sharply from 2.1x in 3Q10 to 2.6x in the fourth quarter. Companies with revenue less than $100 million traded at a median EV/Revenue multiple of 1.4x in 4Q10, only slightly better than 1.2x in 3Q10, and well below the SEG Software Index median EV/Revenue multiple of 2.6x (Figure 11). The median EV/EBITDA multiple of all software companies comprising our SEG Software Index was 12.4x for all 2010, a notable improvement over 2009s 9.9x. Hopefully, the median EV/EBITDA multiple of 13.6x in the final quarter is a portent of continually improving market valuations in 2011. That said, 4Q10s median EV/EBITDA multiple of 13.6x is still more than 12% lower than the median EV/EBITDA multiple of 15.6x over the past eleven years (Figure 7). Investors also showed less reluctance in 4Q10 to bet on smaller companies with lower operating income. While the median EV/EBITDA multiple of public software companies with revenues greater than $1 billion increased from 10.3x in 3Q10 to 5| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

10.9x in the final quarter, the median EV/EBITDA multiple of public software companies with revenues between $100 million and $200 million soared to 18.7x from 14.7x the prior quarter (Figure 11). Sub$100 million public software companies reported a median EV/EBITDA multiple of 13.5x in 4Q10, a notable improvement over the prior quarters 11.0x. Interestingly, the 10.9x median EV/EBITDA trading multiple of $1 billion+ public software companies was the lowest by far of all revenue categories in 4Q10, despite having EBITDA margins nearly double their smaller peers. In contrast to 2009, when the highest EV/Revenue multiples were typically awarded to companies with the strongest EBITDA margins, 2010 saw attention shift to revenue growth. The highest EV/Revenue multiples (median 4.6x) went to those public software companies that achieved greater than 30% TTM revenue growth in 4Q10. Given the tepid 4.5% TTM revenue growth of the SEG SW Index companies, it is no surprise that investors are pushing valuations higher when companies display above average revenue growth (Figure 8). As for TTM EBITDA margins, the rule of thumb in the current market environment is the higher a public software companys TTM EBITDA margins, the higher its trading multiple (Figure 9).

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions Nine of the ten companies on the high flyer list achieved annual revenue growth over 25.0%. The lone exception was Rovi Corporation which achieved a highly respectible 17.4% TTM revenue growth and an exceptional EBITDA margin of 37.7%, second only to Baidu. Other high flyers found it difficult to attain that level of profitability. Seven of the ten high flyers achieved EBITDA margins above 20.0% with the remaining three at or below 13.9%, including SuccessFactors registering negative 4.0%. Again, revenue growth appears to be where investors are placing their bets. A word of caution about escalating public software company market valuations: theyre tenuous and highly dependent upon a continuing economic recovery. Should GDP growth falter, its very likely well once again see shriking IT budgets, little or no revenue growth, increased pressure on margins and falling public software company stock prices.

While most of the listed companies in our tracking indices saw improved EV/Revenue multiples in 2010, ten public software, SaaS and Internet companies excelled at boosting their market valuations (Figure 10). Overall, these overachievers reported an exceptional median EV/Revenue multiple of 10.5x at the close of 2010, in no small measure due to a year end TTM median revenue growth rate of 32.9% and an impressive TTM median EBITDA margin of 27.1%. The ultimate overachiever was Baidu, often referred to as Chinas Google. Baidus median 4Q10 EV/Revenue of 36.0x, boosted by yearover-year (YoY) revenue growth of 64.5% and an EBITDA margin of 51.9% - the highest values in the respective categories for any company in the list - once again catapulted the company to the top spot on our EV/Revenue valuation list. Baidu has been a top ten EV/Revenue performer in every quarter since 2Q07, and for good reason. In the past five years, Baidus revenue skyrocketed from $17 million to over $1 billion, while its EBITDA margin swelled from 17.8% to 51.9%.

PUBLIC SOFTWARE COMPANY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE


Stagnant IT spending weighed heavily on public company top line growth in 2010 (Figure 5). The median trailing twelve month revenue growth rate of companies comprising the SEG Software Index actually declined to 4.5% in 2010 from 5.0% in 2009 and 14.0% in 2008. There was cause for optimism, however, as the year progressed. After bottoming out at -0.1% in 1Q10, the median TTM revenue growth rate of the SEG Software Index improved steadily, reaching 4.4.% in 3Q10 before jumping to 8.2% in the final quarter. Its likely 4Q10s median TTM revenue growth rate reflected the traditional year end budget sweep by enterprise CIOs, as well as pent up demand and growing confidence in the economic recovery. With Gartner and Goldman Sachs projecting a 5% - 7% increase in 2011 enterprise IT spending, we believe the median TTM revenue growth rate of the SEG Software Index for all of 2011 will be in the range of 7% - 8%. Even though revenue growth rates ramped in the second half, public software companies continued to control costs and spending (Figure 5). The median TTM EBITDA margin of SEG Software Index companies grew to 17.4% in 2010 from 16.7% in 2009 and 14.3% in 2008. The final quarters median EBITDA margin of 17.8% was the highest since 4Q05. For most, improved operating margins came from downsizing, consolidating operating units and physical locations, productivity improvements and stricter spending controls. We wondered whether this improvement in operating margins might also have come at the expense of product development. Our analysis revealed that the R&D budgets of the SEG Software Index companies held up rather well, and did not suffer disproportionately during the downturn. R&D spending declined from a median 18.2% of total revenue in January 2007 to a low of 7| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

17.0% in December 2010 (Figure 12). Still, the modest decline in R&D spending did leave holes in the product roadmaps of many public software companies, which bodes well for smaller software companies with synergistic technology platforms and solutions.

Its questionable whether public software companies can continue to squeeze expenses and improve operating margins while accelerating their revenue gowth. In a random sample of 28 companies in the SEG Software Index, 24 (86%) met or exceeded their revenue forecasts, but only five of the 28 (18%) met or exceeded their EPS forecasts (Figure 13). Indeed, only three of the 28 - Microsoft, TeleCommunication Systems and MicroStrategy - were able to meet or exceed both their revenue and earnings forecasts. Cash flow seemed to pose little problem for most public software companies in 2010. Nearly 60% of the public software companies in our tracking index increased their balance sheet cash and short term investments from the prior year.There are now 22 public software companies with over $1 billion in cash on their balance sheets, led by Microsoft, with more than $43 billion (Figure 14). Overall, the median cash and cash equivalents of the SEG Software Index grew 15.3% in 2010 (Figures 5 and 6). www.softwareequity.com

PUBLIC SOFTWARE COMPANY PERFORMANCE BY PRODUCT CATEGORY


While median financial performance metrics are useful for assessing the overall health of the software industry and making comparisons to other economic sectors, a deeper analysis of these key metrics by software product category provides greater insight about the software ecosystem. By analyzing how public software companies in discrete product categories are performing, we increase our understanding of market trends, sector health, product lifecycles, M&A valuations, IT spending priorities and stock market biases. As weve noted in past reports, public software company valuations each quarter vary widely by product category, and median multiples for the same category often fluctuate wildly from year-toyear. That axiom held true, once again, in 2010 (Figure 15). We track this data because the current median valuation of companies comprising a particular software category often weighs heavily when buyers value acquisition targets. The SEG Software Index is comprised of 21 software product categories sorted into two broad groups, Infrastructure Software and Application Software.

Application Software

The Infrastructure Software group is comprised primarily of utilities, tools, middleware, systems, platforms and technologies to create, integrate, optimize, deliver, monitor, store and protect enterprise applications. The Application Software group consists primarily of solutions to perform, analyze and optimize mission critical business functions in one, or many, industry sectors. In 2010, Infrastructure Software companies outpaced their Application Software counterparts across all metrics tracked (Figure 15). Particularly noteworthy was the Infrastructure groups median 2.7x EV/Revenue multiple and 14.5% TTM revenue growth in 4Q10. Those results mirror IT spending priorities. CIOs spent their precious IT dollars on infrastructure improvements that would later enable them to quickly and effectively deploy mission critical applications when GDP ramps and IT purse strings loosen. As for the financial performance of specific product categories in 4Q10, 16 of the 21 software categories we track touted YoY increases in their median EV/Revenue multiples. For the fourth consecutive quarter, Security software providers boasted the highest median EV/Revenue 9| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

valuation among all categories (3.8x), led by Check Point Software (7.6x), Zix Corporation (6.6x) and Sourcefire (4.8x) (Figure 16). Other categories fared not nearly as well. CRM software providers (perpetual license, non-SaaS) remained in the EV/Revenue basement, with median multiple of only 0.8x EV/Revenue at the close of 4Q10; Wireless solution providers were only slightly ahead, with a median 1.1x EV/Revenue. The Development Tools category recovered the most market valuation in 2010, increasing 68.8% to a median EV/Revenue multiple of 2.7x, up from 1.6x in 4Q09. The pop in trading multiple was attributable to Magic Software, GeekNet and BSQUARE, which touted YoY median EV/Revenue multiple increases of 223.4%, 134.0% and 60.5%, respectively, in 4Q10. Investors were apparently heartened by a median 21.5% TTM revenue growth rate of Development Tools companies in 4Q10, the highest revenue growth rate among the 21 categories comprising the SEG SW Index. It wasnt all pretty. Four product categories, Wireless, Billing & Service Management, Education & eLearning and Healthcare, declined www.softwareequity.com

on a median EV/Revenue basis. Of the four, Education & eLearning saw the steepest drop in median EV/Revenue (- 41.0%), in large part due to plummeting stock prices of GSE Systems (64.4%) and Archipelago Learning (-54.8%). Its likely investors noted that Education & eLearning was the only product category to report a decline in its YoY median TTM revenue growth rate, which slipped to 9.4% in 4Q10 from 11.7% a year earlier. On an EV/EBITDA basis, public Business Intelligence software companies led all other software product categories in 4Q10 with an impressive 25.6x median EV/EBITDA multiple. For the second year in a row, publicly listed Entertainment software providers had the lowest median EV/EBITDA multiple, 6.3x, as a consequence of the categorys median 10.5% decline in TTM revenue growth and single digit EBITDA margins. As for which product categories in the SEG Software Index were kindest to investors, 13 of 21 posted positive median stock returns in 2010, compared to 21 of 21 product categories that achieved positive stock returns in 2009. Particularly noteworthy is the Network & Connectivity category, which posted a stellar median stock price increase of 46.4% by year end, following a 69.6% dividend at the close of 2009. Among the star performers in this product 10| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

category were Radware and F5 Networks with positive stock returns of 127.2% and 96.0%, respectively. While there was a high correlation between revenue growth rates and year end stock returns for some product categories in 2010, there were clearly exceptions. While Enterprise Application Integration companies grew median TTM revenue an impressive 16.9% YoY and were rewarded with median 26.5% stock gain by year end, Healthcare software companies achieved an equally impressive TTM revenue growth rate of 16.3%, but saw their median stock price increase only 3.1%. One explanation: investors had already baked in the TTM revenue growth of healthcare software providers. Entering 2010, Healthcare was valued at a 3.7x EV/Revenue multiple, the highest among our 21 categories, in anticipation of significant future growth. By year end, Healthcares 16.3% TTM revenue growth rate, though impressive, wasnt enough to make investors double down. On the other hand, Enterprise Application Integration companies, valued in 1Q10 at a very modest median EV/Revenue multiple of 1.4x, had room to rise to 2.4x by year end after achieving 16.9% TTM revenue growth.

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions A comparison of public SaaS company market valuations and TTM revenue in 4Q10 reveals that here, too, size matters with investors. Public SaaS companies with 4Q10 TTM revenue above the $172 million median were valued at median 5.2x EV/Revenue, compared to median 3.3x EV/Revenue for SaaS providers below the median (Figure 19). Still, by comparison to 2007, even the larger, more successful SaaS providers have lost some of their investor appeal. Figure 19: 4Q10 SEG SaaS TTM Revenue vs. EV/Revenue Multiple

PUBLIC SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SAAS) COMPANY MARKET VALUATIONS


In 2010, the median EV/Revenue valuations of public SaaS providers comprising our SEG SaaS Index rebounded dramatically to 3.6x from 2.7x in 2009 (Figure 17). Indeed, only one public SaaS company, Althenahealth, saw its median EV/Revenue multiple decline from 4Q09 to 4Q10. The 3.6x median EV/Revenue multiple in 2010 was the highest since 2007, when public SaaS companies were rewarded with a 6.4x median EV/Revenue multiple. Bear in mind, however, 2007s median public SaaS company TTM revenue was only $55.8 million, and the median TTM revenue growth rate was 35.9%.

Perhaps the most telling illustration that the bloom is off the rose, at least for current SaaS company investors, is how much the SaaS On Premise market valuation differential has shrunk during the Great Recession. At the close of 2007, when public SaaS companies commanded a most impressive median EV/Revenue multiple of 6.4x, their perpetual license/on-premise counterparts had a median EV/Revenue multiple of 2.7x. Thats a 137% SaaS valuation premium. The median SaaS EV/Revenue multiple for all 2010 dropped to 3.6x, compared with 2.3x for onpremise software companies, narrowing the valuation differential to 57% (Figure 20). As 2010 progressed, however, the SaaS market valuation trend line improved. The median EV/Revenue multiple of public SaaS companies jumped to 4.2x in 4Q10, outpacing the 2.6x median EV/Revenue multiple of their perpetual license/on-premise counterparts at year end a 62% SaaS company valuation premium.

Although 2007s median EV/Revenue multiple is well above current SaaS company levels, there were six overachievers that closed 2010 with a multiple greater than 6.4x, and each had 4Q10 TTM revenue above the industry median of $172 million. Recent public market entrant RealPage traded at a remarkable median EV/Revenue multiple of 10.0x in 4Q10 (Figure 22). 11| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions growth had nose dived to 15.5%, median EBITDA margins had improved only modestly to 7.2%, and the median EV/Revenue multiple had fallen to 3.2x. Investors, however, still focused on top line SaaS growth rather than profitability, so SaaS companies with TTM revenue growth rates higher than the median were rewarded with a median EV/Revenue multiple of 4.3x. By comparison, SaaS companies with EBITDA margins higher than the median had only a median EV/Revenue multiple of 3.1x. That changed in 2010 at least for a while.

PUBLIC SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SAAS) FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE


The Great Recession and a sluggish recovery took their toll on SMBs, the market segment most responsible for the growth rates of many SaaS providers. The pullback in SMB spending on IT, combined with slower than anticipated enterprise adoption of SaaS, continued to adversely impact public SaaS providers in 2010. For all of 2010, the annual median TTM revenue growth rate of public SaaS companies plummeted to 14.2% from 22.4% a year earlier and 37.8% two years earlier (Figure 17).

That reversal led us to wonder: Before, during and following the Great Recession, how have public SaaS valuations varied as function of revenue growth rate increases and declines, and EBITDA margin increases and declines (Figure 21)? In 2007, public SaaS providers grew median TTM revenue 42.5% higher than the prior year, dramatically increased median EBITDA margins to 6.1%, and were rewarded with a median 7.5x EV/Revenue multiple by the close of 4Q07. Then came the economic downturn. By the close of 2009, public SaaS provider median TTM revenue

Median EV/Revenue

By year end the TTM revenue growth trend line for public SaaS companies gave cause for guarded optimism. After bottoming out at 12.1% in the second quarter, the SaaS median TTM revenue growth rate ticked up to 13.0% in 3Q10, ending eleven consecutive quarters of SaaS growth rate decline. By the close of the fourth quarter, the SaaS median growth rate had risen to 16.8%, providing long awaited encouragement to many public SaaS company investors and executives (Figure 18). Still, only three public SaaS companies (Athenahealth, Constant Contact and SuccessFactors) achieved greater than 30% TTM revenue growth in 4Q10, and only eight increased their TTM revenue growth YoY (Figure 22). Its a long way from the heady days of 2008 when public SaaS companies had a median TTM revenue growth rate of almost 39%, but its progress. The decline in SaaS revenue growth rates over the past couple of years placed growing pressure on SaaS providers to improve profitability. For most of 2010, as SaaS revenue growth rates fell to about 14%, SaaS investor focus began to encompass SaaS operating profits as well. In 4Q10, SaaS companies with TTM revenue growth rates higher than the median were rewarded with a median 4.9x EV/Revenue multiple; SaaS companies with TTM EBITDA margins higher than the group median were also rewarded with a median 4.9x EV/Revenue multiple (Figure 23).

Thats the first time SaaS revenue growth rates and profitability were in parity. Figure 23: 4Q10 Public SaaS Company Revenue Growth Rate and EBITDA Margin vs. EV/Revenue Multiple

It may not last long. In 4Q10, EBITDA margins were essentially the same as in the first quarter, but median TTM revenue growth moved up to almost 17% from about 13% the prior quarter. Investors took note, and the median EV/Revenue multiple of our SEG SaaS Index in 4Q10 shot up to 4.2x from 3.1x in the third quarter. We believe thats a portent of whats to come in 2011 and beyond. As SMBs recover, SaaS providers will gain the lions share of SMB IT spending, and SaaS revenue growth rates will ramp. Increased enterprise adoption of SaaS deployed applications will also help propel public SaaS www.softwareequity.com

It wont matter. As public SaaS company TTM revenue growth rates grow, look for SaaS EV/Revenue market valuations to grow well beyond their 4Q10 median of 4.2x.

The median 2010 and 4Q10 EV/TTM Revenue multiples for the 56 public companies comprising our SEG Internet Index were 1.6x and 1.9x, respectively. While the median EV/Revenue multiple of public software companies jumped from 1.6x in 2009 to 2.3x in 2010, the median Internet EV/Revenue multiple showed little progress, edging up to 1.6x in 2010 from 1.3x a year earlier (Figures 24 and 25).

PUBLIC INTERNET COMPANY MARKET VALUATIONS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE


Though the software and Internet sectors are rapidly converging, clear distinctions remain between the two in terms of business model, revenue model, solution deployment and end user requirements. We've opted to track these major categories separately to enable a more granular analysis of each. Broadly defined, Internet companies deploy their solutions primarily often exclusively via the web. Our Internet Index is comprised of companies whose principal business models fall within one or more of the following categories: Advertising Companies that provide key elements in the Internet advertising arena such as search marketing services, software to host and manage ads and a network of websites that run ads. Representative companies include SINA, ValueClick and comScore. eCommerce & Portals Companies whose main line of business is conducted over the web. Representative companies include Amazon.com, eBay and priceline.com. Networking & Connectivity Companies which provide content sharing, testing, measurement, and other related services via the Internet. Representative companies include LogMeIn and Sify Technologies. New Media Companies that provide online information and content. Representative companies include WebMD, TechTarget and TheStreet.com. Search Engine Representative companies include Google and Baidu.com.

On an EV/EBITDA basis, the median Internet multiple averaged 12.8x for the first three quarters of 2010, but jumped to a median 15.9 x in 4Q10, most likely in response to much heightened Internet shopping activity during the holidays. By contrast, public software companies saw their 4th quarter EV/EBITDA multiples grow more modestly, edging up to 13.6x in 4Q10 from 11.6x the prior quarter. Given the headline grabbing growth and success of Baidu, OpenTable and Facebook, many industry observers find it surprising the median 2010 EV/Revenue multiple of the SEG Internet www.softwareequity.com

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. Index was significantly lower than the median EV/Revenue multiple of public software companies (2.3x) and public SaaS companies (3.6x). Internet providers seem to be divided into two groups: The smaller group has learned how to grow rapidly and monetize their traffic, and has been rewarded by investors accordingly; the larger group has yet to demonstrate that ability, which translates into depressed stock prices. Nearly 18% of Internet companies trade at only 1/3 the median EV/Revenue of the Internet category, compared to 11% of public software companies. Yet the Internet does have its share of high fliers, with 12% of Internet companies valued 3x higher than the median Internet EV/Revenue market valuation (Figure 26).

The median current ratio of public Internet companies, measured as current assets divided by current liabilities, an indication of a companys liquidity, was 2.8 in 2010, up from 2.5 in 2009, suggesting many Internet providers controlled spending and eschewed, or couldnt get, additional debt financing. Indeed, the median cash and equivalents of these Internet providers increased by $6.5 million, or 9.3%, in 2010, reaching their highest level in three years (Figure 24). Market valuations of companies comprising the SEG Internet Index varied widely by Internet category in 2010 (Figure 28). Internet Search Engine companies led all other categories throughout 2010 on an EV/Revenue multiple basis, despite losing some ground from 4Q09 to 4Q10. Although Internet Networking and Connectivity companies posted a lackluster 1.2x median EV/Revenue multiple at the close 4Q10, lagging all other Internet product categories, it was a far sight better than the dismal 0.8x and 0.7x median EV/Revenue multiples for this Internet subcategory from 4Q09 2Q10 and 3Q10, respectively. Given the successful Christmas shopping season, it was not surprising to see the median EV/Revenue multiple of eCommerce and Portal players advance from 1.8x in 3Q10, to 2.3x by close of the fourth quarter.

Internet providers were especially hard hit by the economic downturn, with median TTM revenue growth nose diving from 15.7% in 2008 to 2.6% in 2009. The annualized TTM growth rate for Internet providers in 2010 was a slightly improved 3.4%, but the quarterly trend in 2010 was encouraging. 1Q10s median TTM growth rate of 0.8% grew steadily throughout the year, and surged by year end to 8.0% (Figure 25). In 2010, the gross profit margin of Internet providers was 60.9% compared to 68.6% and 68.0% for public software and public SaaS companies respectively. The 2010 data is consistent with historical trends (Figure 27) and is a reflection of the mashup nature of Internet business models resulting in significant revenue sharing across service providers.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS


Globally, $168 billion was raised by 537 IPOs on all major exchanges in 2010, compared to $68.5 billion raised by 230 IPOs in 2009. Asia-Pacific accounted for 255 of the IPOs worldwide, with China garnering the lions share (101). There were 37 IPOs on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture market in 2010 that collectively took in $6.1 billion, a 281% increase from the $1.6 billion raised in 2009 from 15 new offerings. Domestically, across all industry sectors, 182 companies went public on the major U.S. stock exchanges in 2010, compared to 76 in 2009 and 51 in 2008. Of these 182 new listings, 79 were newly listed in the first calendar half of the year. 4Q10 was the strongest quarter, with 65 new public company debuts. Together, 2010s 182 IPOs raised $45.7 billion, a 137% increase from 2009s $19.3 billion tally. GMs $15.8 billion offering was by far the largest, with ClearBridge Energy a distant second at $1.1 billion. The median revenue for the 182 newly listed companies in 2010 was $108 million and the median EBITDA was $19 million. Eighty-five companies newly listed on the major U.S. stock exchanges were headquartered in North America, five were European, and 41 were based in Asia / Pacific, 38 more than a year prior. Information technology, which comprises software, Internet, semiconductors and hardware, had 33 listings, the highest number of deals for any category and a 266% increase over 2009. Thirteen software companies and five Internet companies went public on the major U.S. stock market exchanges in 2010. Together, these 18 new public companies touted a median TTM revenue growth rate of 22.7% and a median TTM EBITDA margin of 14.5%. Collectively, they raised a total of $2.0 billion, with offering amounts ranging from $46.0 million to $272.0 million. 16| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

Eleven of the 18 new software and Internet listings were North American companies; the balance were Asia/Pacific based. Six of the seven Asia/Pacific listings occurred in 4Q10. The thirteen new software entrants touted median TTM revenue of $74.7 million, revenue growth rate of 21.5% and median TTM EBITDA margin of 14.5%, well below the 27.1% TTM EBITDA margin of 2009s software IPO class (Figure 29). Six of the thirteen software IPOs in 2010 were SaaS businesses. Most notable was RealPage, a leading provider of SaaS based multifamily property management software, which closed its first day of trading with a noteworthy EV/Revenue multiple of 6.0x and ended the year with a whopping EV/Revenue multiple of 12.1x. IntraLinks, an on-demand workspace solution that facilitates the exchange of critical information, collaboration and workflow management inside and outside the enterprise, showed early momentum with its enterprise value to revenue multiple rising from 7.5x to 9.6x in the first three months of trading, but plummeted 36% following its earnings call on November 4th. Convio, a provider of software for nonprofits, watched its enterprise value to revenue multiple sink 50% between June 2010 and year end, after poor earnings calls. Most of those who invested in 2010s newly issued software and Internet companies fared well. The median new issue was up 24.5% by close of trading at year end, a significant improvement over 2009s 3.5% median return. BroadSoft, Motricity, Qlik Technologies, RealPage and Youku led the pack, each with a year-end return exceeding 100%. The markets favorable reception for newly listed software and Internet companies in 2010 encouraged others to file or resurrect their registration statements seeking to go public.

result, the U.S. software and Internet IPO pipeline expanded to ten by the close of 2010, from three a year earlier 2009 (Figure 30). The markets response to those now lining up at the starting gate will tell us much about investors current risk/reward mindset. Among the 2011 IPO prospects are Skype, which is perhaps the most impressive in terms of size, revenue growth and EBITDA margin, and Cornerstone OnDemand, a SaaS based provider of learning and talent management solutions that seeks to raise a large amount despite a small revenue base and a history of negative EBITDA. Other software companies in the pipeline include Tangoe, Ellie Mae, Tripwire and Trunkbow International. The strong year end returns of the software and Internet class of 2010, the much improved IPO pipeline by year end and rumors of high profile IPOs by LinkedIn and Groupon suggest 2011 will see an even greater number of software/Internet company new listings. A number of private equity 17| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

firms have also indicated intent to take public portfolio software companies they took private three to five years ago. In such case, 2011 could well see 25 or more software and Internet IPOs, and a host of new S1 filings.

VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENT


Venture capital activity and investments across all industry sectors improved in 2010. According to the PricewaterhouseCoopers / Thompson Venture Economics / National Venture Capital Association MoneyTreeTM Survey, there were 3,277 VC equity financings in the U.S. during 2010, a 12% increase over 2009 (Figure 31). Total dollars invested increased 19% to $21.8 billion from $18.3 billion a year earlier, and the average investment edged up 8.1% to $6.7 million from $6.2 million. The number of companies receiving first-time funding grew to 999 companies from 774 companies a year earlier, a 29% increase. Series A investments, after plummeting a stunning 53.7% from $7.0 billion in 2008 to $3.3 billion in 2009, grew cautiously to $4.3 billion in 2010. The past eight years have been a roller coaster ride for VCs and equity funding aspirants, with little net gain. Using 2002 as the base year, total annual VC dollars invested and total annual financings have increased only 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively. 18| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

Exits of VC-backed companies, a catalyst for future VC investment activity, saw dramatic improvement in 2010 from a year earlier. According to the NVCA, a record 420 venturebacked companies sold in 2010, the largest number of exits since the NVCA began keeping records in 1985. The IPO market was also a bright spot for VCs and their limited partners, with 72 venture backed IPOs in 2010, the most since 2007, when 86 companies went public Across all industry sectors, the number of seed stage investments increased 4.0% over the prior year. Despite the increased deal activity, the total dollars allocated to seed stage companies shrunk by 1.6%. Early stage investments increased 25.4% from 2009, while expansion stage investments, perceived by VCs to be far safer than seed and early stage bets, grew a whopping 47.1%. Later stage company financings, however, declined 9.0% YoY in 2010, following a 32.0% decline in 2009, although total dollars invested inched up 2.5%. Nevertheless, VCs continued to prefer relative safety over high risk/reward. Expansion and later stage www.softwareequity.com

companies once again garnered the lions share of VC dollars invested, receiving 67.9% of the kitty in 2010, up slightly from 2009 (Figures 32 and 33). Software led all other industry sectors in number of VC financings (25.5% of total) and aggregate dollars invested (18.2% of total) (Figure 34 and 35). In 2010, 835 software companies received VC financing, up 20.7% from 2009, and the $4.0 billion raised was a 20.2% improvement over the prior year. Software companies receiving firsttime financing increased a whopping 44.2% to 261 from 181 last year. Across the 261 investments, VCs invested a total of $799.3 million, translating to an average investment size of $3.1 million. Across all stages of financing, the average software industry investment in 2010 was a modest $4.8 million, lower than any other industry, suggesting the software sector remains one of the most capital efficient. That may be, but VCs remain cautious and reluctant to invest. Compared to 2002, the total number of software companies financed and the aggregate VC dollars invested are down 15.1% and 21.3%, respectively. Internet companies fared almost as well as their software cousins in 2010, attracting 729 VC equity investments aggregating $3.8 billion. Other notable categories receiving VC love and dollars were Biotechnology and Medical Devices. 19| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

THE BUYERS SPEAK: SOFTWARE EQUITY GROUPS 2011 M&A SURVEY


In early January 2011, Software Equity Group conducted its third annual Software Company Buyer Survey to provide our readers a better understanding of 2011s software M&A ecosystem and buyer thinking. We polled 176 of the largest software companies in the world, both public and private, and received an excellent response. Collectively, the respondents to our 2011 survey spent well over $13.9 billion on software acquisitions in 2010, and their plans and playbook will heavily influence the software M&A ecosystem in the year ahead. Unsurprisingly, 83% of our respondents bought at least one software company in 2010 and stayed close to home. Buyers remained focused on strategic transactions that leveraged and enhanced their core businesses, acquiring tuck-ins and eschewing bargain shopping and unsought opportunities. Their M&A behavior in this regard was consistent with their responses to our 2010 survey, and reflected the economic uncertainty that persisted through much of 2010. What lies ahead? The number of software M&A transactions will almost certainly grow this year, as 93% of respondents stated they plan to acquire at least one software company in 2011 and 51% stated they plan to acquire three or more software companies in 2011. Indeed, 17% of respondents stated they plan to acquire six companies in 2011, up from only 6% in 2010. And whats motivating these buyers? Buyers are laser focused on improving their products and broadening their current offering. Product enhancements - to plug holes, add incremental functionality, competitively differentiate and improve the user experience was ranked by 40% of respondents as their most important M&A objective in 2011, and by an additional 27% as their second highest priority. Broadening their current offering adding new product categories, entering new markets and expanding territories was named the most important M&A objective by 30% of respondents, and as their second priority by an additional 40%. Financial benefits and market share as primary motives were seen as considerably less important. By contrast, in 2010, buyers were almost equally divided amongst financial objectives, product enhancement, market expansion and market share. Software M&A spending will likely be robust in 2011, with 54% of respondents expecting to spend at least $100 million on software acquisitions this year. Valuations should also see an uptick. 60% of respondents expect to pay at least 10% more in 2011 for a company very similar to one acquired in 2010. While SaaS providers have been on many large software company radar screens for the past three years, it hasnt been an M&A spending priority for most. Until now. 30% of the buyers in our 2011 survey believe that it is very important that a target be all or sustainably SaaS/subscription based, a remarkable increase from just 13% in the 2010 survey. In fact, only 17% felt that SaaS was unimportant in 2011, a stunning decline from the 47% who expressed disinterest in 2010. Its unclear whether big software company interest in acquiring SaaS providers has suddenly peaked because of the attraction of subscription based revenue, or because of market demand. Likely, its some of both. What do buyers consider most important when selecting and valuing an acquisition target today? Since most buyers in 2011 are seeking to enhance and extend their own offerings, its of little surprise an (continued)

THE BUYERS SPEAK: SOFTWARE EQUITY GROUPS 2011 M&A SURVEY (CONTINUED)
overwhelming 63% of 2011s Survey respondents deem the targets products and technology platform the most important factors in deciding whether, and for how much, to extend an offer. The targets profitability and growth, to the dismay of many private software company founders, is relatively unimportant to the overwhelming majority of our 2011 Survey respondents. A notably greater number of buyers this year ranked the caliber of the targets management team and operations to be the most important factor in deciding whether, and for how much, to extend an offer. Its almost certainly because buyers today deem continuity, orderly transition and phased management withdrawal essential to the success of the transaction post-closing. As our founder, Ken Bender, wrote in the editorial column of our 3Q10 Quarterly Report, the buyer mindset today has changed since the Great Recession. Our 2011 survey results back him up. M&A decision making has shifted from top down to consensus according to 60% of buyers responding to our survey; 72% say theyre doing much more analysis today of the market opportunity, go forward strategy and target synergies; and 84% of respondents indicated they conduct much more pre-LOI due diligence on a targets financials, products and operations. Despite this unprecedented degree of due diligence by buyers, weve observed a higher mortality rate in the past two years of software M&A transactions under LOIs that never closed, and decided to ask why. Our 2011 Survey makes clear the exit valuation gulf between buyers and sellers is wide, and often gets wider during due diligence. A whopping 41% of our respondents told us that unrealistic valuation expectations were the single greatest reason why a deal under LOI failed to consummate. This response should be read in conjunction with responses to another of our questions regarding those post-LOI events that most imperiled the closing of a transaction. According to the buyers we surveyed, the closing of a deal under LOI is most imperiled by the renegotiation of the proposed purchase price due to matters uncovered or clarified during due diligence. These can cover the gamut of missed revenue or EBITDA forecasts, uncollected sales taxes, missed product release dates, open source languages embedded without appropriate license, deceased third party developers who didnt sign work made for hire agreements, customer attrition beyond what was indicated during pre-LOI discussions its a long list, and buyers today do not react kindly. Often they see the value of the company as being less than originally bid, and reduce their offer. The targets, in turn, are often outraged for being nickel and dimed, especially when theyre so strategic to the buyer. More often than not, thats the reason behind the unrealistic exit valuation response given by so many of the buyers we surveyed when asked, Whats the most common reason an acquisition fails to consummate once you enter due diligence? Its clear from the results of our 2011 Survey that buyers in 2011 will be more acquisitive; will pay modestly more; will be product and technology focused; will be process and consensus driven; and will closely scrutinize the target prior to closing to reduce risk and enhance the likelihood of realizing the expected return. Thus far, as we go to press, that certainly appears to be the case. Well detail that more in our 1Q11 Quarterly Report.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS: THE NUMBERS


M&A Deal Volume and Spending: All Industry Sectors Globally, merger and acquisition spending totaled approximately $2.0 trillion dollars in 2010 according to Capital IQ, a 25% year-over-year increase from 2009s $1.6 trillion. The worldwide M&A spending trajectory steepened as the year progressed, reaching $604.3 billion 4Q10, a 28.8% increase over 3Q10s $469.1 billion and 12.6% more than 4Q09s $536.8 billion total M&A spend. In the United States there were 13,610 M&A transactions across all industry sectors with a combined price tag of $877.4 billion, up 34.4% from 2009s 10,130 deals, and 17.4% above 2009s total M&A spend of $747.8 billion (Figure 36). The year began with increased M&A deal volume but didnt ramp in subsequent quarters, averaging about 3,400 transactions per quarter. However, M&A spending across all U.S. industry sectors steadily improved throughout the year. The aggregate M&A price tag in 1Q10 totaled $193 billion, increased to $218.2 billion and $225.5 billion in 2Q10 and 3Q10, respectively,

and closed out the year at $240.7 billion in the final quarter. We anticipate M&A deal volume will moderately increase across virtually all U.S. industries in 2011. Product line enhancements and extensions, industry consolidation driven by the quest for greater market share, vertical integration to achieve financial and distribution efficiencies, geographical expansion particularly in China and elsewhere in Asia Pacific, will all drive deal volume in 2011. We expect domestic M&A spending to increase, as well, but modestly. 2011 will undoubtedly see a greater number of megadeals at eyebrow raising valuations, but we believe most buyers will need more convincing about the sustainability of the economic recovery and their own improved financial performance before loosening the purse strings much more. There were 943 U.S. leveraged buy-outs and private equity backed transactions in 2010, a 14% increase over 2009s total of 814. According to Capital IQ, aggregate U.S. LBO spending also increased, from $60.1 billion in 2009 to $75.4 billion in 2010. There were 20 leveraged buy-outs greater than $1 billion in 2010, almost three times the number of LBOs in 2009. The improvement in LBO transaction volume and spending was in

Targets with EBITDAs greater than $50 million had a median 15.6% EBITDA margin and fetched a median exit multiple of 8.0x TTM EBITDA, or 1.4x revenue multiple, up from 2009s median 6.0x TTM EBITDA. LBO/PE targets with less than $50 million in EBITDA had a median 9.4% EBITDA margin and were acquired for a median 11.6x TTM EBITDA , or 1.1x revenue multiple, up from 2009s median 7.6x TTM EBITDA. Software M&A Deal Volume and Spending Software M&A transactions accounted for 11.7% of all U.S. M&A activity in 2010, down from 13.3% in 2009. There were 1,586 mergers and acquisitions worth $51.9 billion in the U.S. Software sector in 2010, compared to 1,329 transactions aggregating $27.4 billion in 2009 (Figures 37 and 38). 1Q10 began on a positive note with 431 transactions, the fourth consecutive quarter of increased software M&A deal volume. Unfortunately, that level of activity was not reached again in 2010, as software M&A deal volume declined 12% to 385 transactions in the second quarter, rebounded a bit in Q3, then fell off again in the final quarter (Figure 39). Yearover-year, each quarter in 2010 posted an increase over 2009, assuming 4Q10s 368 software transactions (vs. 372 in 4Q09) will increase by 10-15 deals in our final tally. Overall, 2010s software deal total was healthy in comparison to transaction volumes over the past decade. Note to our readers: The deal and dollar volumes in Figures 37 and 38 have been updated from our previously published quarterly reports due to transactions newly reported or deleted (i.e., scrapped deals) after our publication dates. Based upon our 2011 buyer survey results and our conversations with a broad array of public software company corporate development heads and private equity firm managing directors, we anticipate a modest increase in software M&A transaction volume in 2011. Asked how many software companies they anticipate acquiring in 25| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions 2011, 20% said six or more; 31% said three to five, and 41% stated they plan to buy one to two this year (please see Survey results). Overall, responses to our 2011 Survey indicate software M&A deal volume will rise approximately 12% to 1,775 this year, driven primarily by buyers seeking product enhancements, extensions and competitive differentiation.

2010s total software M&A spend was 90% greater than 2009s, although deal volume increased only 16%. It would be erroneous to conclude, however, that the average deal size increased dramatically in 2010 because valuations were markedly higher or many larger companies were acquired. Major fluctuations in software M&A spending each quarter are typically the consequence of a relatively small number of software industry mega-deals (transactions with enterprise values greater than $500 million). Of 2010s $51.9 billion total software M&A outlay, $26.3 billion was spent on 17 mega-deals. By comparison, 2009s $27.4 billion total software M&A outlay included $9.6 billion spent on seven mega-deals, while 2008s $56.2 billion total price tag included $32.6 billion on 21 mega-deals. www.softwareequity.com

Software M&A Deal Currency The prevalence of cash and stock as M&A deal consideration was virtually the same in 2010 as in 2009. Cash was the predominant form of payment, and was the exclusive form of payment in approximately 73% of all software M&A transactions in 2010 (Figure 41). All stock deals represented 9% of transactions in 2010, but the prevalence of stock fluctuated throughout the year. All stock transactions 26| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

accounted for 10% of software M&A deals in 1H10, 12% in 3Q10, and only 6% of software deals in 4Q10. The diminished number of all stock transactions at year end reflected seller concern the public markets were overvalued and buyer stock had considerably less upside. Still, some stock as a component of the purchase price retained its appeal. Transactions featuring a combination of cash and stock represented 18% of transactions in both 2010 and 2009.

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. Software M&A Valuations On an annualized basis, 2010s median software industry exit valuation, measured as a multiple of trailing twelve months revenue, was 2.2x, a marked increase over 2009s median exit valuation of 1.8x TTM revenue, and the highest annual median multiple weve reported since 2000 (Figure 43). Indeed, 2010s median exit valuation remained above 2.0x every quarter, after reaching 2.0x in only one quarter of 2009 (Figure 44). The reasons for 2010s improved exit multiple are several: higher quarterly revenue growth rates encouraged public software company buyers to spend more; there was greater competition for deals; and higher stock prices and market valuations enabled buyers to shop with higher valued currency. We believe there was another phenomenon at play, as well, which was largely responsible for the boost in the median exit multiple. Buyers in 2010 were far more strategic and much more focused in their acquisition planning and execution than any time in memory. Product deficiencies and opportune market opportunities were scrutinized and analyzed and prioritized on a collaborative basis. Acquisition parameters were decided upon in advance, teams were created or fortified, and a greater array of targets were identified and evaluated. Those targets deemed most ideal and synergistic were typically healthy, profitable and growing, and therefore deserving of a higher exit multiple than most at least in the targets minds. Buyers, in response offered prices they considered fair and reasonable and in many cases not a penny more. Those deals that reached the finish line were, in the minds of both buyer and seller, deserving of a higher exit valuation.

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions

On a multiple of TTM EBITDA basis, 2010 M&A valuations were far more difficult to analyze due to insufficient data for private seller software M&A transactions. Consequently, we restricted our analysis to EBITDA exit multiples for transactions featuring public sellers. Public software company sellers received a median 12.4x TTM EBITDA multiple in 2010, up slightly from 2009s median exit multiple of 11.8x TTM EBITDA. On a quarterly basis, the median TTM EBITDA multiple remained rather flat throughout 2010, ranging only between 12.0x and 13.0x TTM EBITDA (Figure 45). Comparatively, the median TTM EBITDA valuation fluctuated quite drastically from quarter to quarter in 2009, from 8.7x to 12.5x, primarily because the public markets were still in a state of frenzy and there were a good number of fire sales.

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. Weve repeatedly demonstrated in prior SEG Quarterly Reports that three of the most important determinants of exit valuation are the sellers ownership structure, financial performance and product category. The axiom held true, once again, in 2010. We analyzed all M&A transactions in 2010 with ascertainable revenue multiples to determine the specific impacts on valuation of ownership (private vs. public company), size (revenue) of buyer and seller, and the sellers software product category. First, we sorted 2010s M&A transactions by ownership type, separating public from private software company sellers to ascertain any difference in their median TTM revenue exit multiple. Public company sellers received a median 1.8x TTM revenue exit valuation, while privately held software companies commanded a median 2.6x TTM revenue multiple (Figure 46). Why the rather significant differential? Nine underperforming public companies were acquired in the first half of 2010, most of which were struggling mightily to grow top line revenue. These arbitrage purchases included: TEOCOs acquisition of telecom operations support software vendor TTI Team Telecom for $30.7 million (0.7x TTM revenue, -16.1% TTM revenue growth); Pegasystems acquisition of business process management and CRM provider Chordiant Software for $100.2 million (1.3x TTM revenue, 28.8% TTM revenue growth); OpenTexts purchase of digital content management provider Nstein Technologies for $27.4 million (1.2x TTM revenue, 1.6% TTM revenue growth); Battery Ventures acquisition of CAD/CAM software provider Vero Software for $13 million (0.7x TTM revenue, -8.0% TTM revenue growth); and Pharsight and Vector Capitals acquisition of Symyx Technologies for $156.1 million (1.0x TTM revenue, 4.8% TTM revenue growth). Four devalued, underperforming public software companies were acquired in 2H10: Quest Software purchased Bakbone Software for $44.4 million (0.8x TTM revenue, -2.4% TTM revenue growth); Attachmate acquired Novell for approximately $1 billion (1.25x TTM revenue, 5.8% TTM revenue growth); CSG Systems acquired Intec Telecom Systems for $251.3 million (1.0x TTM revenue, -0.8% TTM revenue 29| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. Conversely, most of the highest exit multiples in 2010 were paid to private software companies deemed by their large public suitors to be highly strategic and worthy of an acquisition premium. Many of these private targets were venturebacked entities that were well-funded, growing and, consequently, expensive. Noteworthy examples include Disneys acquisition of Playdom ($763.2 million, 10.2x TTM revenue estimate); Roper Industries acquisition of iTradeNetwork ($525.0 million, 6.6x TTM revenue estimate); Googles acquisition of ITA Software ($700.0 million, 5.6x TTM revenue estimate); Datalogic Scanning Holdings acquisition of Evolution Robotics Retail ($25.5 million, 5.0x TTM revenue); Dassault Systems acquisition of Exalead ($161.6 million, 8.4x TTM revenue); and EPIQ Systems acquisition of Jupiter eSources ($80 million, 6.1x TTM revenue). As a next step, we separated public and private software company buyers to ascertain any difference in median purchase price paid in 2010. For historical context, in 2006 and 2007 public buyers shelled out a median of 2.7x and 2.5x TTM seller revenue, respectively, for their acquisitions, while private buyers paid a median 1.9x and 2.0x TTM revenue, respectively. In 2008, we saw the historical variance narrow considerably, with private buyers paying a median M&A purchase price of 1.7x TTM revenue, compared to public software companies paying a median purchase price of 2.0x TTM revenue. During 2009, the public-private buyer differential increased drastically. Public buyers paid a median 1.9x TTM revenue, well within historic norms. Private buyers, however, paid a miserly 1.2x TTM revenue exit multiple, in many cases acquiring competitors that were struggling to survive the downturn. In 2010, both public and private buyers valued acquisition targets significantly higher than the year prior. Public buyers paid a median 2.4x TTM revenue, while private buyers paid a median 1.8x TTM revenue. Clearly, both types of buyers were feeling more encouraged by their financial results in 2010 and more bullish about their near term growth prospects. Additionally, we sliced the 2010 median software M&A multiple horizontally and vertically, 30| 2010 ANNUAL SOFTWARE INDUSTRY EQUITY REPORT

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions segregating vertical market software company sellers (e.g. retail, financial services, telecom, manufacturing, etc.) from sellers with horizontal software solutions (infrastructure, enterprise applications, etc.). In 2010, providers of vertical software accounted for 37% (Figure 47) of all software M&A transactions, while horizontal solution providers comprised 63% of sellers. Figure 47: 2010 Horizontal vs. Vertical Sellers

Vertical market and horizontal software providers were both valued at relatively healthy premiums in 2010, fetching a median 2.0x TTM revenue and 2.3x TTM revenue, respectively.

M&A Exit Valuations by Software Category While company size, ownership structure and market focus demonstrably impact valuation, software product category continued to be the single most important M&A valuation differentiator in 2010. www.softwareequity.com

Copyright 2011 Software Equity Group, L.L.C., All Rights Reserved

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. For most software product categories, there is often an insufficient number of transactions that publicly report both seller TTM revenue and buyer purchase price, essential data in ascertaining the applicable median exit value for the product category. Consequently, we aggregate the data each quarter on a TTM basis. As a result, it may take several quarters to detect changing product category valuation trends, and certain outlier transactions consummated nine or twelve months ago may have a residual impact on their product category multiples. Among the eleven software product categories we tracked in 2010 (Figure 49), Security and CRM/Marketing/Sales software garnered the highest category exit valuations, at a median 3.7x TTM revenue and 3.1x TTM revenue, respectively. Transactions in the security sector included Hewlett Packards acquisition of ArcSight ($1.5 billion, 7.7x TTM revenue); Juniper Networks acquisition of Altor Networks ($95 million, 6.3x TTM revenue estimate); and Symantecs acquisitions of PGP ($306 million, 4.0x TTM revenue) and GuardianEdge ($73 million, 3.9x TTM revenue). In the CRM/Marketing/Sales category, acquisitions such as IBMs purchase of Unica ($448.6 million, 4.1x TTM revenue) and Teradatas purchase of Aprimo ($500 million, 6.3x TTM revenue estimate), helped to boost the median revenue multiple. Exit valuations for other software product categories ranged from a median 2.8x TTM revenue for providers of Engineering, PLM and CAD applications, to a median 1.2x TTM revenue for content/document management software providers. In terms of volatility, exit multiples in the Development Tools and IT Asset Management category fluctuated most year-overyear, dropping from a median 3.0x TTM revenue in 2009 to a median 2.1x TTM revenue in 2010. From a deal activity standpoint, Wireless software led all other product categories in 2010, followed closely by Security and Development Tools/IT Asset Management (Figure 50).

SaaS M&A Transactions SaaS M&A deal activity and valuations improved considerably in 2010 from a year earlier. We counted 105 SaaS acquisitions in 2010, including ten with ascertainable revenue multiples, of which the median exit valuation was 3.2x TTM revenue. In comparison, we counted only 50 SaaS acquisitions in 2009, including six with ascertainable revenue multiples, of which the median exit valuation was 2.7x TTM revenue. The trajectory of SaaS M&A activity was encouraging, with 2010 outpacing 2009 every quarter. The year began with a modest ten SaaS deals in 1Q10 (vs. nine in 1Q09), spiked to 30 in 2Q10 (vs. eight in 2Q09), grew to 39 in 3Q10 (vs.

13 in 3Q09) and dropped to a still impressive 26 SaaS acquisitions in 4Q10 (vs. 20 in 4Q09). The workforce management product category accounted for the greatest number of SaaS company acquisitions in 2010, with category leaders such as SuccessFactors acquiring Imform Business Impact ($40.5 million, 2.7x TTM revenue estimate); Callidus acquiring ForceLogix ($3.8 million); Lawson acquiring Enwisen ($75 million, 5.0x TTM revenue estimate); Kenexa acquiring Salary.com ($74.1 million, 1.6x TTM revenue); Hewitt Associates acquiring HRAdvance Enterprises ($11 million); Stepstone acquiring MrTed; and Administaff purchasing OneMind Connect. Acquisition activity in this segment was virtually non-existent when the global economy

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. slipped into a deep recession and companies were focused on layoffs rather than hiring. This translated into deep cuts in workforce management IT spending, and subsequently, a sharp drop in category acquisitions. The supply chain product category, where M&A activity has historically involved mostly on-premise software companies, featured a number of SaaS acquisitions in 2010, including RedPrairies acquisition of SmartTurn; CDC Softwares acquisitions of TradeBeam ($18.9 million) and eBizNET Solutions; Roper Industries acquisition of iTradeNetwork ($525 million, 6.6x TTM revenue estimate); and GSI Commerces purchase of VendorNet. Meanwhile, the infrastructure segment featured Dell acquiring Boomi; CA acquiring Arcot Systems ($200 million); Citrix acquiring GoToManage and Netviewer; Webroot acquiring BrightCloud; and Tibcos purchasing Loyalty Lab ($23 million). We see better times ahead for SaaS, particularly for the growing number of public SaaS providers that have finally turned the corner on profitability. SaaS adoption at the enterprise level will grow albeit not nearly as quickly as many analysts and pundits predict, but the real updraft will come from resumed spending on SaaS by SMBs. And thats likely only if the slow but steady economic recovery continues unabated and GDP growth exceeds 4% or better each quarter. Should that occur, SaaS companies with 12% to 15% EBITDA margins and 40% TTM revenue growth rates can expect to exit for a premium in 2011, should they opt to do so.

Investment Banking / Mergers & Acquisitions Internet M&A Transactions 2010 was one of the most active years in recent history for Internet sector mergers and acquisitions, with a total of 625 transactions among all Internet product categories. The feeding frenzy was fueled in large part by investors and industry analysts who have become increasingly bullish about rapid growth in social networking, eCommerce, online display advertising, video capture and sharing and cloud computing. Figure 52: 2010 Internet M&A by Category

The year began strong in almost all Internet subcategories and remained robust throughout the year, averaging 146 M&A transactions per quarter. In 4Q10 alone, 165 Internet companies were acquired, 18 more than in the prior quarter, and 47 more than 4Q09 (Figure 51).

Software Equity Group, L.L.C. Indeed, 65% of Q4s Internet transactions were within four key categories: content, e-commerce, social networking and ad-tech categories. Those same four categories were the most active for all of 2010, accounting for 382 transactions in total (Figure 52). Google continues to be the most acquisitive Internet company buyer, completing 13 Internet transactions in 2010. AOL, Facebook, and Groupon each completed six Internet acquisitions in 2010, while Local.com, Yahoo, Apple, Wikio and Amazon each completed four.

ABB (SWX:ABBN) acquires Ventyx Category: Energy Management Software Purchase Price: $1,000,000,000 EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $250,000,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 4.0x EV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Power and automation technology group, ABB, acquires Ventyx, a leading provider of software to the energy and manufacturing sectors. Ventyx brings ABB complementary geographic coverage and an IT product suite highly complementary to ABBs operational technology (OT) network management business energy management systems, distributed management systems and outage management systems. The acquisition will enable ABB to bridge IT and OT departments in the energy management sector, which have begun to cooperate at an increasing rate following the rapid adoption of smart grid projects. Ventyx was formed through Vista Equity Partners acquisition of Indus International in 2006 ($212.8EV million, 1.7xEV TTM revenue), which was then merged with MDSI Mobile Data ($45.6EV million, 0.9xEV TTM revenue). Ventyx made four tuck-in acquisitions from 2007 2009.

CA (NASDAQ: CA) acquires Nimsoft Category: IT Performance and Availability Monitoring Purchase Price: $350,000,000 Revenue (Estimate): $35,000,000 Revenue Multiple (Estimate): 10.0x Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Leading IT infrastructure vendor, CA, acquires Nimsoft, a provider of IT performance and availability monitoring solutions to the mid-market enterprise sector. Nimsoft brings CA IT monitoring solutions capable of monitoring both on-demand applications such as Amazon Web Services and Salesforce.com, as well as internal applications, databases and physical and virtual server environments. The companys cloudcomputing monitoring capabilities also bolster CAs position in the mid-market and international markets, two areas of high growth potential for cloud application adoption. Nimsoft follows a string of recent CA acquisitions including NetQos, Cassat, Oblicore and 3Tera, and is CAs largest acquisition of a VC-backed company since its purchase of Wily Technology in 2006 ($375 million). After investing $22 million in Nimsoft over two rounds in 2007 and 2008, Goldman Sachs, JMI Equity and Northzone Ventures will see a quick and hefty return.

Hexagon (OM:HEXA B) acquires Intergraph Category: Engineering and Geospatial Software Purchase Price: $2,125,000,000EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $770,189,000 Seller EBITDA (TTM): $189,000,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 2.8xEV EBITDA Multiple (TTM): 11.2xEV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Hexagon AB, a leading provider of engineering measurement technologies, acquires Intergraph, a leading provider of engineering and geospatial applications. Intergraph will provide a visual presentation layer for the management, analysis and sharing of vast amounts of data produced by Hexagons precision 3D measurement technologies, enabling Hexagon to provide a fully integrated suite of measurement and visualization applications. The jury is out, however, on whether Hexagon will continue to reinvest in Intergraphs other product lines, including 3D modeling for manufacturing PLM, which may portend future divestiture opportunities. Intergraph was acquired for approximately $1.3 billion in 2006 by a group of private equity firms, Including Hellman & Friedman, TPG and JMI Equity. The better than $2.1 billion sale to Hexagon will likely generate a substantial IRR for investors. IBM (NYSE:IBM) acquires Sterling Commerce Category: Business Integration Software Purchase Price: $1,400,000,000 Seller Revenue (estimate): $633,700,000 Revenue Multiple (estimate): 2.2x Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Infrastructure software behemoth IBM acquires Sterling Commerce, a provider of business transaction, selling and fulfillment software. Sterling Commerce will enable IBM to help organizations create more intelligent and dynamic business networks by simplifying and automating the way its businesses connect and communicate with customers, partners and suppliers. The acquisition is also complementary to IBMs recent purchase of cloud-based B2B integration applications vendor, Cast Iron Systems, and will allow IBM to offer integration-as-a-service for both on-premise and cloud based transaction processing. Sterling Commerce has built its product portfolio in part through inorganic means over the past six years, having acquired Yantra ($170 million), and Comergent Technologies ($155 million).

IBM (NYSE:IBM) acquires Unica (NASDAQ:UNCA) Category: Enterprise Marketing Software Purchase Price: $446,810,000EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $109,190,000 Seller EBITDA (TTM): $10,080,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 4.1xEV EBITDA Multiple (TTM): 44.3xEV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Infrastructure computing behemoth, IBM, acquires leading enterprise marketing applications provider, Unica. IBMs acquisition of Unica further leverages its position as a provider of solutions for the web and customer analytics, and highlights the continued growth of enterprise internet marketing and advertising spend. IBMs recent acquisitions of ecommerce enablement vendor Sterling Commerce ($1.4 billion), web analytics provider Coremetrics, and consumer predictive analytics provider SPSS ($783.7EV, 2.7xEV TTM revenue) each provide a crucial component to IBMs success in the internet commerce realm. IBMs $21 per share tender offer represents a 118% premium over Unicas 30 day pre-announcement average closing stock price. Unica marks IBMs ninth software acquisition in 2010.

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) acquires McAfee (NYSE:MFE) Category: Security Software Purchase Price: $6,906,920,000EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $2,002,920,000 Seller EBITDA (TTM): $430,170,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 3.4xEV EBITDA Multiple (TTM): 16.1xEV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Intel hopes to tackle security concerns regarding the proliferation of Internet and IP enabled devices via its acquisition of security giant McAfee. The acquisition gives Intel security and security management technology, as well as utilities to add value to its chips and to differentiate it in the rapidly expanding mobile device market, an area it recently made significant foray into via acquisition of WindRiver Systems ($793.4EV million, 2.2xEV TTM revenue) in 2009. Interestingly, this acquisition also demonstrates a reinvestment in anti-malware security, as Intel divested its antivirus business to Symantec in 1998. Intels $48 per share tender offer represents a 53% premium over McAfees 30 day pre-announcement average closing stock price.

Lawson Software acquires Enwisen Category: Workforce Management Software Purchase Price: $75,000,000 Seller Revenue (estimate): $15,000,000 Revenue Multiple (estimate): 5.0x Payment Terms: Cash and Earnout SEGs Perspective: Leading enterprise resource planning vendor, Lawson Software, acquires Enwisen, the leading provider of on-demand HR service delivery applications. Enwisens employee self-service and case management applications plug a significant hole in Lawsons current offering for HR shared-service centers, an area Oracle and SAP have already covered. The acquisition also fills gaps in Lawsons talent management offering, bringing much needed onboarding and total rewards statement capabilities. Enwisen also brings with it a SaaS delivery model much better poised for success in the market place than Lawsons legacy perpetual applications, as well as little overlap in customer base. The acquisition follows a string of SaaS workforce management purchases in 2010, including SuccessFactors acquisition of Imform Business Impact ($40.5 million, 2.7x TTM revenue estimate); Kenexas acquisition of Salary.com ($74.1 million, 1.6x TTM revenue) and Stepstones purchase of MrTed.

Misys (LSE:MSY) acquires Sophis Category: Financial Services Software Purchase Price: $603,860,000 Seller Revenue (TTM): $101,560,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 5.9x Payment Terms: Cash and Stock SEGs Perspective: Leading financial services software provider Misys, acquires rival Sophis, a provider of portfolio and risk management applications. The acquisition will enhance Misys cross-asset and buy-side position against Sungard, Thomson/Reuters and others in the bank, asset management and hedge fund segments, as well as create a potential competitive threat to Sungard, Martini and Ion Trading in the repo and securities lending space. Misys recent disposal of healthcare IT arm, Allscripts, provided the company with proceeds to finance the purchase of Sophis and focus exclusively on the financial services segment.

Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) acquires Phase Forward (NASDAQ: PFWD) Category: Clinical Trial Management Software Purchase Price: $611,750,000 EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $213,260,000 Seller EBITDA (TTM): $30,350,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 2.9x EV EBITDA Multiple (TTM): 20.2x EV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Enterprise software behemoth Oracle acquires Phase Forward, the leading provider of clinical trials management software. Through its acquisition of Phase Forward, Oracle bolsters its position in the pharmaceutical space by picking up the largest pure-play provider of clinical trials management applications. Phase Forward will also complement Oracles pharma-specific CRM and sales force automation on-demand applications set to release this year. Oracles $17 per share tender offer represents a 29% premium over Phase Forwards pre-announced average 30 days closing stock price. Phase Forward has built its product portfolio in part through inorganic means over the past two years, having acquired Maaquzi ($11 million), Covance ($9.7 million), Waban ($14 million, 3.5xTTM revenue), and Clarix ($40 million, 14.6xTTM revenue).

Open Text (NASDAQ: OTEX) acquires Nstein Technologies (TSXV: EIN) Category: Digital Content Management Software Purchase Price: $27,410,000EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $23,260,000 Seller EBITDA (TTM): ($400,000) Revenue Multiple (TTM): 1.2xEV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Leading content management vendor, Open Text, acquires Nstein Technologies, a provider of digital asset management, web content management and text mining solutions. Through its acquisition of Nstein, Open Text picks up an attractive customer base and extends its product suite to offer semantic analytics technologies (text mining software), allowing customers more advanced digital search capabilities. However, Nsteins digital asset management (DAM) and web content management (WCM) solutions significantly overlap with Open Texts current offerings, which the company picked up through acquisitions of Artesia and eMotion (DAM), and Vignette and Hummingbird (WCM) in recent years. The modest 1.2x TTM revenue valuation is likely a result of Nsteins flat TTM revenue growth, negative profitability and significant product overlap.

Chordiants real-time predictive decisioning engine is highly complementary to Pegasystems rules and complex event processing offering in the contact center automation space. Chordiant also provides Pegasystems with a number of industry focused customer experience management applications for the retail banking, insurance and communications sectors deemed complementary to Pegasystems current vertical offerings. The modest 1.4x TTM revenue offer is not surprising given Chordiant has seen its TTM revenue decline 29% year-overyear, has posted only two profitable years since 1996, and is selling via a perpetual model in a fast adopting SaaS CRM marketplace.

Progress Software (NASDAQ: PRGS) acquires Savvion Category: Business Process Management Purchase Price: $49,000,000 Seller Revenue (Estimate): $20,000,000 Revenue Multiple (Estimate): 2.5x Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Leading infrastructure applications vendor, Progress Software, acquires Savvion, a provider of best-of-breed business process management solutions. Savvions BPM suite is highly complementary to Progress current Business Event Processing, Business Transaction Assurance and Integration product portfolio, and offers industry specific solutions for financial services, communications, healthcare, life sciences, energy and manufacturing, which are areas of strong presence for Progress. Progress recent BPM partner, Lombardi Software, was purchased by IBM in December 2009, leaving Progress to look for a new dance partner.

The acquisition further solidifies Ropers position within the foodservice industry, following its acquisitions of CBORD ($344 million) and Horizon Software in 2008, both providers of food and nutrition services management applications. Private Equity firm Accel-KKR purchased iTradeNetwork in late 2007 and made two add-on acquisitions (Instill Corporation and Amphire Solutions) in 2008 prior to exiting to Roper. SAP (DB:SAP) acquires Sybase (NYSE:SY) Category: Mobile Data Management Software Purchase Price: $5,422,840,000 EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $1,197,010,000 Seller EBITDA (TTM): $370,540,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 4.5x EV EBITDA Multiple (TTM): 14.6x EV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Enterprise software giant SAP acquires Sybase, the leading provider of database management and mobility solutions. Sybase will allow SAP to standardize on a mobile middleware platform for a growing number of core applications and will give SAP considerable computing power needed for context-aware computing and pattern analytics. In addition, Sybase IQ, which is the most widely used column store DBMS for data warehousing, will provide SAP with significant performance capabilities when it launches its in-memory column store DBMS for online transaction processing and analytical processing. According to Bloomberg, the acquisition of Sybase marks the fifth-largest software takeover in history, exemplifying SAPs bet on the future of mobile enterprise. SAPs cash offer of $65 per share represents a 47% premium over Sybases pre-announced average 30 days closing stock price.

The acquisition bolsters SuccessFactors message of providing business execution software by adding solutions geared towards enabling HR departments to use analytics effectively in making business decisions, and also adds highly complementary strategic consulting capabilities. This represents SuccessFactors second acquisition, and first since going public in 2007. The acquisition also follows closely on the heels of Authorias merger with PeopleClick ($100 million), both providers of SaaS talent management applications. Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC) acquires PGP Corporation Category: Data Protection Software Purchase Price: $300,000,000 Seller Revenue (TTM): $75,000,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 4.0x Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Leading enterprise and consumer security vendor Symantec acquires PGP Corporation, a provider of data protection software. With the acquisition of PGP, Symantec will bolster its email and data encryption software solutions for enterprises, businesses and governments via PGPs Encryption Platform. Simultaneously, Symantec announced the acquisition of Guardian Technologies, a provider of mobile data encryption solutions. These acquisitions allow Symantec to expand its addressable market opportunity in the encryption software space and more effectively compete against McAfee, CheckPoint and Sophos, which have each made acquisitions of encryption vendors. Experts estimate that the market for encryption products will grow at 14% per year from 2009 to 2013, reaching $1.7 billion in 2013. PGP and Guardian Technologies represent Symantecs 9th and 10th acquisitions in the past year.

Taleo (NASDAQ:TLEO) acquires Learn.com Category: Learning and Talent Management Software Purchase Price: $125,000,000 Seller Revenue (Estimate): $30,000,000 Revenue Multiple (Estimate): 4.2xEV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: SaaS talent management leader Taleo acquires Learn.com, a leading provider of SaaS employee learning management solutions. The acquisition of Learn.com provides Taleo with the final piece of what many believe to be a full talent management suite, tying together Taleos current employee recruitment, performance, compensation, succession, and development applications, with Learn.coms e-learning and social learning capabilities. The acquisition also brings Taleo, historically focused on large enterprise environments, a strong mid-market presence with significant cross-sell opportunities and limited product overlap. With its roots in recruitment management, Taleo has developed its performance, succession and career development applications internally, while choosing to acquire compensation management (WorldWide Compensation, $18.4EV million) and learning management (Learn.com) functionality over the past two years. Teradata (NYSE:TDC) acquires Aprimo Category: Marketing Software Purchase Price: $500,000,000EV Seller Revenue (estimate): $80,000,000 Revenue Multiple (estimate): 6.3xEV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Teradata, a provider of data warehousing and enterprise analytics solutions, acquires Aprimo, a best-ofbreed provider of integrated B2B and B2C marketing applications.

Aprimo also brings with it deep expertise in cloud-computing and counts 36 of the Fortune 100 as customers.

Thoma Bravo acquires Plato Learning (NASDAQ: TUTR) Category: Teaching and Learning Management Applications Purchase Price: $114,570,000EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $64,730,000 Seller EBITDA (TTM): $3,220,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 1.8xEV Payment Terms: Cash SEGs Perspective: Software focused private equity firm, Thoma Bravo, acquires Plato Learning, a leading provider of K-12 and adult learning management solutions. The take private transaction will allow Plato Learning to focus on continuing to grow new subscription revenue, wind down its perpetual software sales, and convert its perpetual customers to its subscription model, without having to meet quarterly street expectations. Over the past several years, Plato has steadily grown its subscription revenue to over 60% of total revenue. Conversely, its perpetual license and associated services revenues have steadily declined, contributing to overall declining revenue growth, modest profitability, and in turn, tough public market scrutiny. Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS) acquires Datapresse Category: Media Content and On-Demand Public Relations Software Purchase Price: $10,800,000 EV Seller Revenue (TTM): $4,500,000 Revenue Multiple (TTM): 2.4x EV Payment Terms: Cash/Earn-out SEGs Perspective: Vocus, a leading provider of on-demand software for public relations, acquires Datapresse, a France-based provider of SaaS media content and public relations solutions. Datapresse bolsters Vocus presence abroad by adding approximately 2,000 customers in Europe, and was followed by the announced acquisition of BDL Media, a provider of SaaS based public relations solutions in China. The activity demonstrates Vocus vision of expanding internationally, often more easily achieved through inorganic means. Vocus cash on hand increased by 52% from 2007 to 2009, leaving the company with well over $100 million of cash and a strong position for inorganic growth. Prior to its acquisitions of BDL Media and Datapresse April 2010, Vocus most recent acquisition was in August 2006.

Sort of like netw ork type revenues over softw are type revenue w ould be the priority. We'll do some softw are ones as w ell. We look at the types of companies that w e've been engaged in dialogue w ith and they tend to be in the $20 million to $50 million revenue range and for the most part private companies and, therefore, the purchase price is not going to be something that is a significant portion of our market cap. They'll be bite-sized deals and they'll be -- the timing of w hich is the hardest to predict.

As our Company continues to grow and succeed in our outperformance this quarter as a classic example, I think w e should be able to begin to acquire smaller regional brokerage companies accretive and you should expect us to do that over the course of the next year. So, w e think w e w ill be able to acquire accretive over the next year and profitably so, much as you've seen us do in Paris successfully and now , very successfully, obviously in Brazil, and w e expect to continue that process.

Com pany Announcem ent Sum m aries CSG Systems International Inc. CSG Systems International Inc. held its earnings conference call. The company plans to look at acquisition opportunities. Peter Kalan, CEO of the company said: First of all w e continue to believe that having a strong balance sheet is important in these times both because of the economic instability and w hat that provides as opportunities for us to think about how w e invest both from organic investment as w ell as acquisition investments because w e really do believe first and foremost that w e are in a position to grow the opportunities of this business and capabilities in the markets w e serve. So first and foremost w e are going to look to invest and acquisitions continue to be a viable means for that for us and w e are going to preserve a strong capital base for that. At the same time w e'll look at as a secondary measure w hat are the opportunities for us to really give us the best capital structure and w hether that means to take advantage of stock repurchases or debt repurchases, w e'll do that as w ell. But first and foremost is grow th in the w ay that w e really expand the opportunities of this business from a market and capabilities perspective. He added: Our goal is to do accretive transactions and that is our primary goal, but dependent upon w hat the aspects of the transaction may be, there could be situations w e w ould consider doing something that w ould be slightly dilutive on the front end, but could quickly drive to accretion. But those are tw o broad ranges and I am conceptual at this point, but w e have to keep our minds open because w e have a business that w e think can be added to and today w e don't alw ays like our valuation metrics that w e have for the strength of this underlying business that you outlined earlier. And so, w e'll look at things that can help optimize those valuation metrics and at the same time if w e can't get performance through that, and w e continue to have the strength of the balance sheet, w e have show n in the past our w illingness to return those monies to the shareholders through stock repurchases and that is something that w e'll continue to keep as an option and a priority for us absent the chance to grow the business from an acquisition perspective. CyberSource Corporation Cybersource Corporation held its earnings conference call. The company intends look at acquisition opportunities. Steve Pellizzer, CFO of the company said: Yes, so, w e do have sizeable cash balance. We have talked about repurchase plans in the past. We don't currently have an active plan, but that's an opportunity to repurchase shares of stock and w e also look at M&A opportunities. And w e have got often have meetings w ith investment bankers that are w alking us through the latest developments in the space. Obviously w e keep current on w hat is happening, and look at opportunities to potentially grow through acquisition. And so, those are the tw o areas I w ould say w e w ould focus on.
