In January, the IMF forecasted a gradually improving global economy that would remain vulnerable to a host of economic and geopolitical risks. It
predicted global GDP would grow 3.5% in 2015.

The IMFs July Update trimmed its April estimate to an annualized GDP growth rate of 3.3% in 2015, essentially the same lackluster rate that has prevailed
for the past three years. In doing so, the IMF reaffirmed the main risks highlighted in April remain relevant. Risks noted in April included continued pay
down of public, corporate and household debt, which could slow spending; weakened oil prices that has adversely impacted producer nations, but
increased disposable income in oil importing countries (ie. U.S., China, Euro area and India); and significant currency exchange rate fluctuations which
could impact manufacturing imports and exports, especially in the U.S, the Euro Zone, and Japan.

The IMF acknowledged its forecasts could also be imperiled by recent geopolitical events and renewed threats of defaults and recessions among EEC
member countries.

Early forecasts were for U.S. GDP to grow an average of 3.0% in 2015. Although most economists had revised their projection downward to 1% by the
close of Q1, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced in July that GDP grew 2.3% in the second quarter.

The Wall Street Journals survey of more than 60 leading economists now projects 3.1% growth in Q3, and 3.0% growth in the final quarter of 2015.

The Labor Department reported the unemployment rate at the end of 2Q15 was 5.3%, a noteworthy decline from 2Q14s 6.2%, and the lowest
unemployment rate since 2008. The Wall Street Journals survey of economists projects the unemployment rate will continue to decline, reaching 5.1% by
year end, and dropping to 4.8% by year end 2016.

The labor participation rate closed 2Q15 at 62.6% and has been flat for the past 12 months, a 35 year low that can be attributed to an aging baby boomer
population that is beginning to retire. This leads to a natural demographic decline in the participation rate.

Assuming reasonably stable currency exchange rates, Gartner projected at the outset of 2015 that worldwide IT spending would grow at a constant
currency rate of 3.7% in 2015. That was before the significant rise in value of the U.S. dollar against most other currencies, a phenomenon that has had a
materially adverse effect on worldwide IT spending.

By late Q1, Gartner projected global IT spending would shrink 1.3% in 2015, and in Q2 revised that estimate to -5.5%, blaming the rising U.S. dollar. In
constant currency terms, however, Gartner estimates global IT spending in 2015 will decline only 0.6% to 2.5% growth.

Forrester estimates software will account for 27% of all tech spending, leading all other categories. According to Forrester, Softwares leading position is
not a surprise, because it is the focal point for tech innovation today, whether that innovation takes the form of cloud computing and adoption of SaaS,
PaaS, smart computing and big data, real-time predictive analytics and smart process apps, or mobile computing and mobile apps and enterprise app
stores.

E-commerce retail sales in the U.S. totaled $72.2 billion in 1Q15 (the latest data available), up 14% YoY. The increase marks the 22nd consecutive quarter
of YoY growth, and the 18th consecutive quarter of double digit growth.

Mobile commerce accounted for $11.1 billion, or 15.4% of the 1Q15 E-Commerce total, according to comScore. In 1Q15, mobile commerce grew 52.1%
YoY, while desktop commerce expanded only 8.9%.

Since total consumer discretionary spending grew by only 4.4% in 1Q15, the 15%+ growth in E-commerce spending affirms a significant and growing shift
from retail to online consumer spending.

According to Forrester, U.S. digital ad revenues will total $37.6 billion in 2019, with the most growth coming from video advertising. Forrester predicts
video advertising on desktop devices alone will grow 14% annually until 2019, when it will contribute 55% of total desktop display ad revenue across the
Web.

The DOW, S&P and NASDAQ, as well as our SEG Software, Internet, and SaaS indices, all declined early in the first quarter, rebounded by the end of Q1, and
oscillated throughout Q2.

The S&P and DOW closed the second quarter -0.1% and -1.1%, respectively.

The SEG Software Index closed 2Q15 up 9.6% year-to-date, the best return among the six tracking indices and well above the return of the tech heavy
NASDAQ which ended Q2 up 5.3%. The median stock performance of the SEG Software Index has improved steadily since October 2014. For some
investors, these large, slow growing but quite profitable on-premise software providers are a hedge against smaller, high growth cloud, SaaS and Internet
providers, and are seen as ripe for resurgence when GDP growth and IT spending gain momentum.

Concomitantly, the SEG SaaS Index gained only 4.7% by the close of 2Q15, in large part due to investor concerns that their heavy investments in sales and
marketing, which have contributed to significant, ongoing operating losses, were not translating into accelerated growth. Their concerns were somewhat
validated when public SaaS companies posted a 29.9% median revenue growth in 2Q15, the lowest in the past three quarters.

The SEG Internet Index lagged our other two tracking indices, posting a median 3.9% YTD return in 2Q15.

The SEG Software Index tracks public software companies that


primarily offer on-premise software under a perpetual license with
annual M&S.

The SEG Software Index is currently comprised of 135 public


software companies*.

The number of public companies comprising the SEG Software Index


has declined steadily over the past ten years, as many on premise
providers have been acquired, taken private or migrated to a SaaS
business model.

* A number of on-premise software companies are transitioning to subscription based delivery and pricing models; however their SaaS revenue contribution is insufficient for
them to be deemed primarily SaaS.

After seven consecutive quarters of slowing growth, the median TTM


revenue growth rates of public on-premise software companies rose
modestly in 8.4% in 1Q15, but declined to 8.1% in Q2.

One in four of the public on-premise software companies comprising


the SEG Software Index reported negative revenue growth in Q2;
more than half grew revenue by a meager 10% or less.

Predictably, the few public on-premise software companies growing


revenue 30%+ were focused on three of ITs hottest product
categories: security (Cyberark Software, 67.4%), and business
intelligence (Splunk, 48.1%) and mobility (Pandora Media, 30.4%).

The consolidation of on-premise software companies over the past 15


years has resulted in an ecosystem of behemoths whose growth has
stalled due to much more focused, prioritized and constrained
enterprise IT spending; a current preference for point (vs. suite)
solutions; and a shift toward cloud-based computing and
subscription pricing, which has negatively impacted revenue
recognition.

Slowed growth has prompted most on-premise companies to maintain a


keen eye on expenses. The median EBITDA margin of public on-premise
software companies has remained steady at 18.3%, essentially unchanged
over the past three quarters.

Fewer than half of public on-premise software companies achieved


EBITDA margins of 20% or better in the second quarter.

Check Point Software, a security software provider, was a standout


exception, leading the pack once again in 2Q15 with an EBITDA margin of
54.3%. Check Points extraordinary profitability can be attributed in part
to a strong, well-performing channel that reduces its cost of sales.
Curiously, Check Point also spends substantially less on R&D (8.9% of
revenue) compared to their category peers (19.7% of total revenue).

We anticipate the median EBITDA margin of public software companies


will hold steady in 3Q15, in large part due by keeping R&D spending
relatively flat while modestly increasing S&M spending.

OpEx: Median spending on operations by public on-premise software companies in 2Q15 was consistent with historic norms: 15.1% for Research &
Development, 21.6% for Sales & Marketing, and 10.8% for General & Administrative.

Over the past year, median S&M, R&D and G&A expenses as a percent of revenue have remained relatively flat.

Median S&M spending as a percent of total revenue by public on-premise public software companies lagged far behind their SaaS counterparts, which
continued to place significant bets on new customer acquisition (21.6% for on-premise vs. 40.2% for SaaS).

Despite declining revenue growth over the past several quarters, the median EBITDA margin of public on-premise software providers has modestly
improved over the past four quarters, reaching 18.3% in 2Q15.

The median EV/Revenue market multiple for public on-premise


software providers was 3.1x in 2Q15.

The ~3.0x median EV/Revenue multiple thats prevailed over the past
five quarters, despite lackluster growth, reflects the importance of
stability and profitability to investors in the current market.

The higher EV/Rev multiple premium enjoyed by the largest onpremise software providers grew in the second quarter, surpassing
that of their smaller counterparts.

We believe investor enthusiasm for the largest on-premise providers


will hold steady for the remainder of 2015, absent a significant
decline in operating profitability or a surge in SaaS company growth
rates. Higher valuations, however, will depend on the ability of these
household names to redefine their missions, redirect their resources,
and better capitalize on their significant number of blue-chip
customers.

After converging in 1Q15, the EV/Rev median public market


multiples of mid size, large and very large on-premise software
companies diverged in Q2, another indication that investors are
comforted by size and incumbency and willing to ignore slowed
growth amidst economic uncertainty.

While market performance of public on-premise public software


companies remained closely correlated with their TTM revenue
growth rates in Q1, the opposite was true in Q2, with higher
EV/Revenue multiples awarded to companies growing modestly than
those reporting aggressive growth.
A closer look reveals this may not be an aberration. The higher
growth rate companies are mostly newer and smaller than their
slower growth counterparts further confirmation that size and
stability are prized in the current market.
Members of Q2s 40%+ growth club that rewarded investors
handsomely in 2Q15 came from the fastest growing product category,
mobile. Select 2Q15 outperformers included: Glu Mobile (97.5%

As in quarters past, the median market multiples of on-premise


software companies generally reflected their median operating
margins.

On premise providers with a median EBITDA margin >40% were


deemed by investors to be almost five times more valuable than those
generating EBITDA margins less than 10%.

THE SOFTWARE INDEX BY PRODUCT CATEGORY

The SEG Software Index is segmented into 16 product categories.

Among these product categories, market multiples, TTM growth rates and EBITDA margins fluctuate considerably from quarter to quarter. For
example, Engineering/PLM providers saw a decline in median EV/Revenue market multiples from 3.8x in 1Q15 to 3.6x in Q2, despite higher growth.
Conversely, the median market multiple of public ERP companies jumped more than 15% in Q2 from the prior quarter, despite a decline in their
median growth rate.

See Appendix for the complete list of companies within each product category.

In 2Q15, nine product categories achieved median EV/Revenue multiples above the SEG Software Index median of 3.3x, led by Enterprise Resource
Planning (4.7x), Vertical Other (4.6x), and Vertical Finance (4.3x).

The Systems Management and Security categories are benefitting from the continuing shift to cloud and mobile computing, which require new approaches
to scaling, managing and securing these new environments.

The Gaming category closed 2Q15 with a median EV/Revenue multiple of 1.4x, the lowest of our 16 product categories. Weve predicted in past Reports
that gaming multiples would improve as gaming providers - caught flat footed by the explosion of mobile and Internet gaming - repositioned with online
and mobile games suitable for a multi-device world. It hasnt happened yet.

The median TTM revenue growth rate accelerated in 11 of 16 product categories in 2Q15. The eleven categories with higher YoY EV/Revenue multiples
included: Billing & Service Management, Business Intelligence, Development Platforms, Enterprise Resource Planning, Financial & Accounting, Healthcare,
IT Conglomerates, Security, Storage, Vertical Finance (i.e. software providers focused on the financial services vertical), and Vertical - Other.

TTM Revenue Growth

The median TTM revenue growth rate of Public SaaS companies in 2Q15 was 29.9%, down just a tick below 30.1% in 2Q14. We anticipate only marginally
higher growth in Q3, mostly due to floundering GDP growth and IT spending.

Median growth rates alone do not capture the standout performances of the most successful SaaS companies. Nearly one in four public SaaS companies
grew TTM revenue by 50% or more. As further testament to the widespread and ramping adoption of SaaS, these outperformers come from a variety of
product categories including Human Capital Management, Life Sciences, Marketing, Security, and Business Intelligence. Especially noteworthy were:
Castlight Health (173.5%); FireEye (130.3%); Medical Transcription Billing (102.3%); DealerTrack (78.5%); Tableau Software (75.4%); New Relic
(74.4%); Zendesk (72.4%); and Workday (63.7%).

The median TTM revenue of public SaaS companies was $163.7M in 2Q15, a significant YoY increase from 2Q14s $117.8M. In part, the revenue growth is
attributable to wider, and deeper, enterprise adoption of hosted solutions; and in part the revenue growth is inorganic, as the group has become
increasingly acquisitive.

Salesforce continued to lead the SaaS revenue pack by several lengths, reporting 2Q15 TTM revenue of $5.7B, almost 6x greater than the next largest
public SaaS company. Still, many public SaaS companies reached critical revenue mass (>$350 million) in 2Q15, a feat made more difficult by a revenue
model that requires deferring a significant percentage of booked revenue. SaaS providers with revenues of $350M+ can now be found among a wide array
of product categories and industry sectors, including Workday (HCM/Financial, $879.1M); DealerTrack (Automotive, $948.4M); RealPage (Real Estate,
$414.5M); and Service-Now (IT Service Mgmt., $755.4M).

The median EBITDA margin of public SaaS companies remained


negative but improved, closing 2Q15 at -11.3%.

Almost three out of five (59%) public SaaS companies are


unprofitable, and nine out of ten have EBITDA margins below the
20% median of their on-premise software peers.

For the time being, investors are untroubled by the operating losses, if
the strong correlation between their EV/Revenue market multiples
and TTM revenue growth rates (see slide 29) is any indication.

Apparently, the public markets have come to understand the GAAP


compliant P&L statements of many public SaaS companies, which
seem to indicate theyre suffering significant losses and hemorrhaging
cash, dont tell the whole story. Many are not only cash flow positive,
but flushed with revenue from prepaid subscription fees that require
deferred recognition under GAAP. As example, for the year ended
June 2015, NetSuite reported a $109.6M net loss, but was cash flow
positive from operations to the tune of $89.1M.

OpEx: Public SaaS companies continue to spend heavily on sales & marketing in order to drive revenue growth and capture market share.

In 2Q15, public SaaS companies invested a median 40.2% of total revenue on sales & marketing, almost double their on-premise counterparts.

R&D spending as a percent of revenue remained almost flat in 2Q15, declining to 19.5% from 19.7% a year earlier. Public SaaS companies in 2Q15 spent
4.4% more on R&D as a percent of revenue than their on-premise peers, as they endeavored to expand their offerings, enhance their technology and
platforms, and address new markets

On a GAAP basis, operating losses of public SaaS companies grew throughout 2014, bottoming out at a -13.2% median EBITDA margin in 4Q14. After
barely improving in 1Q15 (-13.1%), the median public SaaS company EBITDA margin inched closer to break even in 2Q15 at -11.3%.

EV/Revenue

At the close of 2Q15, the median market multiple of public SaaS companies was 6.0x EV/Revenue, down 14% YoY, but up slightly from last quarters
median multiple of 5.5x.

Yet investors were goggle-eyed about the prospects of a good number of public SaaS providers. More than one-third of the companies in the SEG SaaS
Index achieved a median EV/Revenue multiple of 9x or higher in 2Q15, and public SaaS companies continued to trade at a significant premium to their onpremise peers (6.0x vs. 3.1x median EV/Revenue). Although public SaaS companies have historically enjoyed trading multiples about double their onpremise peers, the differential is shrinking. 2Q15s premium of 94% was much lower than 2Q14s 119% premium.

A premium market multiple can be largely justified by comparing the relative lifetime value of a SaaS customer vs. an on-premise licensee. A SaaS
company with a mission critical hosted app and strong customer retention will garner significantly greater cash over time (typically, 10+ years) from its
average customer than will its on-premise counterpart. As for profitability, it remains to be seen if SaaS companies can eventually achieve bottom line
performances that are equivalent to their on-premise counterparts.

In the meantime, investors are placing their bets on the next wave of SaaS category leaders that are positioned to displace incumbent on-premise
providers across multiple product categories - just as Salesforce did to Siebel years ago in the CRM category.

TTM EBITDA Margin

In 2Q15, investors continued to handsomely reward the fastest growing public SaaS companies, albeit more modestly than in Q1. Public SaaS companies
that grew TTM revenue in excess of 50% were anointed with the highest median EV/Revenue multiple of 11.9x in 2Q15, compared to a median market
multiple of 13x in the prior quarter.

In past years, investors deemed profitability to be an unacceptable tradeoff for accelerated growth. That trend has ameliorated over the past three
quarters, as public SaaS companies have grown larger and growth rates have stalled. In Q2, investors favored public SaaS companies losing money but
perceived to be investing heavily in rapid growth, as well as those that are demonstrating not only sustained growth, but moderate profitability, as well.
The older view, however, prevailed for those SaaS companies deemed to be too profitable (30%+), which investors saw as unacceptable tradeoff against
accelerated growth.

When the SEG SaaS Index is segmented on


the basis of median EV/Revenue multiple,
the top 25% boasted an impressive median
9.5x in 2Q15. That median, however, was
29% lower than Q1s median EV/Rev
multiple of 13.2x. Although thats likely a
reflection of Q2s greater market volatility, it
may be an indicator of waning investor
enthusiasm for SaaS stocks.

These SaaS high flyers are market leaders in


a wide array of SaaS categories including
security
(FireEye);
HCM/Finance
(Workday); ERP (NetSuite); eCommerce
(Demandware); and Vertically Focused
(Castlight Health Healthcare ERP).

The median TTM revenue growth rate of


those in the top 25% percentile was 47.7%.
All but three companies (Tableau Software,
Paycom, and Ellie Mae) in the top rank had a
negative EBITDA margin in 2Q15.

In contrast, the median TTM revenue


growth rate of those comprising the bottom
25% of EV/Revenue multiples was 21.3%,
and almost half of these companies were
profitable.

Public SaaS companies comprising the Vertically Focused category posted the highest median public market multiple (8.4x EV/Revenue) of our four SaaS
tracking categories in 2Q15. The category was led by Castlight Health (11.0x EV/Revenue multiple) and Textura (9.5x EV/Revenue). As the SaaS delivery
model matures, investors are favoring newer, vertically oriented, best of breed providers that are rapidly gaining share in large vertical markets, often at
the expense of larger, slower and less vertically focused SaaS and on-premise providers.

The market success of Vertically Focused SaaS companies was largely attributable to their having achieved the highest TTM revenue growth rate in 2Q15,
38.5%. Category standouts included healthcare spend management SaaS provider, Castlight Health (174% TTM revenue Growth); construction sector
SaaS vendor, Textura (49% TTM revenue growth); and life sciences SaaS vendor, Veeva Systems (44% TTM revenue growth).

In 2Q15, the CRM & Marketing category saw the only positive YoY change in Median EV/Rev, thanks to a number of recent IPOs that have rapidly gained
traction, including Shopify (18.6x EV/Rev, 109% TTM revenue growth); Zendesk (11.9x EV/Rev, 73% TTM revenue growth); and Hubspot, 11.4x EV/Rev
of 11.4x, 53% TTM revenue growth

2Q15

Approximately 59% of the companies comprising the SEG Internet


Index offer online services and solutions primarily or exclusively to
consumers; their revenue growth typically lags a quarter behind the
performance of the U.S. economy.

After declining from 20.5% growth in 3Q14 to 19.4% in both 4Q14


and 1Q15, median TTM revenue growth of the SEG Internet Index
dropped to 19% in 2Q15.

Once again demonstrating the Internet is an ecosystem of unequals,


23% of public Internet providers far outpaced the pack, posting TTM
revenue growth greater than 40% in 2Q15. These high flyers
included LendingClub (110.6%), Twitter (98.3%), and YY (91.4%).

Conversely, 34% of public Internet companies struggled to advance,


reporting TTM revenue growth of 10% or less in 2Q15. The slow
growers included VeriSign, Yahoo!, Zynga, Brightcove, and Monster
Worldwide.

The median EBITDA margin of the SEG internet Index has remained
relatively flat for the last four quarters.

Almost 30% of SEG Internet Index companies were unprofitable in


2Q15. The median S&M spend as a percent of revenue of public
Internet companies remained virtually unchanged in 2Q15 at 25.5%.

At the other end of the spectrum, 4% of public Internet companies,


mostly those with significant transaction or advertising revenue,
achieved EBITDA margins above 40%, led by VeriSign (62.0%),
Mail.ru Group (48.6%) and Tencent Holdings (41.0%).

With few exceptions, many of the most profitable public Internet


companies reported stellar TTM revenue growth. Among them were
Tencent Holdings (50.0% EBITDA margin, 27.2% revenue growth);
Facebook (46.6% EBITDA margin, 51.5% revenue growth); Yandex
(36.4% EBITDA margin, 23.2% revenue growth); and Baidu.com
(32.3% EBITDA margin, 47.4% revenue growth).

OpEx: Median spending on operations by public Internet companies in 2Q15 was consistent with historic norms: 14.2% for Research & Development,
25.5% for Sales & Marketing, and 12.4% for General & Administrative.

Over the past year, S&M, R&D and G&A expenses as a percent of revenue have remained relatively flat.

The median R&D spend as a percent of total revenue was the lowest among our three tracking indices.

Public internet companies have kept their cost structures in line, resulting in a median EBITDA margin of 7.9% in 2Q15, virtually the same as the past
three quarters.

EV/Revenue

The median public market EV/Revenue multiple of public Internet providers closed 2Q15 at 2.4x, on par with the first quarter, but notably lower than the
3.0x multiple of a year ago. More than 40% of public Internet companies closed Q2 with an EV/Revenue multiple of 2.0x or less.

We believe Q2s depressed Internet market multiple reflected continuing investor caution about a sustained economic recovery and its concomitant
impact on consumer spending. Almost 60% of public Internet companies are consumer focused (Travel, Games, Retail, Advertising, etc). Until wages
improve and consumer confidence is restored, its likely Internet providers will continue to lag well behind their SaaS and on-premise peers in market
multiples.

That said, investors in Q2 continued to richly reward the most rapidly growing and most promising Internet providers, especially those that generated
significant revenue from online advertising and ecommerce. More than one in five closed the quarter with a market multiple of 7.0x EV/Revenue or
higher, include 58.com (27.5x EV/Rev), Alibaba (16.9x), Facebook (16.0x); Wowo Limited (15.2x); and Zillow (13.1x).

Here, too, investors favored growth. Public Internet companies with TTM revenue growth of 30% or higher had a median EV/Revenue multiple of 6.4x in
Q2, compared to 2.0x for their slower growing (<20%) peers. The outperformers included Twitter (98.3%, 14.1x EV/Revenue); 58.com (78.5%, 27.5x
EV/Revenue); Zillow (72.1%, 13.1x EV/Revenue); and Facebook (51.5%, 16.0x EV/Revenue).

Investors in public Internet companies kept a keen eye on margins, and rewarded more profitable performers with significantly higher public market
multiples. Public Internet companies with EBITDA margins above 40% posted a median EV/Revenue multiple of 6.8x in 2Q15, 283% higher than the
overall Index median. By comparison, public SaaS companies with EBITDA margins above 30% (not enough companies with 40%+) posted a median
EV/Revenue multiple of 5.5x in Q2, 20% below the SaaS median market multiple.

When valuing Internet vs. SaaS stocks, investors have clearly taken into consideration the likely longevity of the customer relationship and associated
recurring revenue, and the nature and extent of switching costs. By those measures, the likely lifetime value of a SaaS customer appears to greatly
outweigh the perceived value of an online consumer.

Public Internet companies comprising the Social product category closed Q2 with a median revenue growth rate of 51.1%, roughly 3x the overall Internet
median growth rate of 18.4%. The Gaming product category ended Q2 with a median revenue growth rate of 23.4%, roughly 1.5x greater than Q2s
Internet median.

Public Internet companies comprising the Social category closed 2Q15 with the highest median EV/Revenue multiple, 9.7x, led by Facebook (16.1x) and
Twitter (14.1x).

The success social media Internet providers have had monetizing their services, largely through advertising, has come at the expense of many in the Ad
Tech space, with marketers clearly favoring the scalability and ROI of advertising on Twitter and Facebook. As a result of these shifting advertising
priorities, the median TTM revenue growth of the Ad Tech product category fell 17.7% YoY in 2Q15.

Companies within the Search product category continued to be very profitable in Q2, posting a median EBITDA margin of 32.3%, 3.8x higher than the
median EBITDA margin across all Internet categories in 2Q15.

Following a correction in public software industry valuations witnessed throughout 2014, eight of our nine product categories experienced a decline in
YoY EV/Rev multiples.

There were 555 reported software M&A transactions in 2Q15, a new quarterly record. The second quarter tally will likely increase by approximately 15
20 transactions as unpublicized deals are added. Typically, the second quarter has been the most active, following a relative Q1 lull spent digesting their
year-end deals.

Software M&A spending in 2Q15 totaled $36.8 billion, almost double Q1 2015s $17.8 billion aggregate price tag. Included were twelve mega deals
(EV>$500M), four with price tags exceeding $2 billion. The two largest were Permira Advisers $4.8 billion (~4.6x EV/Rev) acquisition of Informatica
Corporation, and Cox Automotives $4.5 billion (4.7x EV/Revenue) acquisition of Dealertrack Technologies.

Other 2Q15 mega deals included EMCs acquisition of Virtustream ($1.2B, ~10.0x EV/Rev), MasterCards acquisition of Applied Predictive Technologies
($600M, ~6.0 EV/Rev); and Twitters acquisition of TellApart ($533M, ~6.0 EV/Rev).

Megadeals aside, most buyers continued to focus on small and mid-sized acquisitions in 2Q15, consistent with their response to our 2015 Buyers Survey,
in which 95% of respondents indicated they would focus in 2015 on deals in the range of $10M - $99M .

The median EV/Rev exit multiple for on-premise software providers


was 2.5x in 2Q15, matching the prior quarters all-time high exit
multiple. That makes five consecutive quarters the median exit
multiple has reached 2.3x EV/Rev or higher.

After a significant shakeout following the Great Recession, many of


the public on-premise providers left standing are considered to be
compelling, highly valued targets by an array of public and private
equity acquirers, but buyer motives varied widely. Some sought to
extend their reach into entirely new markets (Cox
Automotive/Dealertrack); some saw competitive advantage
(Mastercard/Applied Predictive); and some were active investors
demanding a higher return for shareholders (Permira/Informatica).

On a TTM basis, 35.8% of all on-premise software targets in 2Q15


were acquired for 2.0x TTM revenue or less, and 64.1% for 3.0x or
less.

Most targets receiving an exit multiple of 3.0x or higher belonged to


currently hot software product categories that are experiencing
rapid market adoption and growth, including Financial Services and
Mobile.

Helping to keep the on-premise multiple at an all time high was


Amino Technologies acquisition of mobile video content provider
Boox Media ($11.1 million, 7.1x TTM revenue); MasterCards
acquisition of predictive analytics software provider Applied
Predictive Technologies ($600M, ~6.0 EV/Rev); and Cox Automotives

SOFTWARE M&A: BY OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND SIZE


Public vs. Private Target

Large Vs. Smaller Buyer

Of the TTM deals announced with an ascertainable EV/Rev exit


multiple, nearly four out of five software M&A transactions featured
privately-held targets.

Buyers with revenue greater than $200 million paid a median 2.8x
TTM revenue for their targets, compared to a median 1.9x TTM
revenue paid by sub-$200 million revenue buyers.

The median TTM exit multiple in Q2 was only marginally higher for
public on-premise software sellers (2.4x TTM revenue) than for their
private counterparts (2.3x TTM revenue).

Over the last 12 months, public buyers paid a median 2.2x TTM
revenue for their targets, compared to a median of 2.5x paid by
private buyers.

On a TTM basis, software M&A transactions with the highest exit


multiples featured a large public or private buyer (greater than $200
million in revenue) acquiring a small target (less than $20 million).
For the last 12 months, this match-up produced a median 3.1x
EV/Revenue exit multiple.

The median exit multiple of horizontal software companies was 2.3x TTM revenue in 2Q15, virtually unchanged from the prior four quarters. Notable Q2
horizontal transactions included Comverses acquisition of enterprise messaging and communications software provider Acision for $402.2 million (2.1x
EV/Revenue) and Francisco Partners Managements acquisition of workforce management software provider ClickSoftware Technologies for $375.6
million (3.0x EV/Revenue).

The median exit multiple of vertical software companies was 2.5x TTM revenue in 2Q15, slightly higher than the prior quarter. Vertical software targets
have fetched a higher median EV/Revenue exit multiple than their horizontal software counterparts for the past three quarters. That represents a marked
turnaround for vertical software median exit multiples after a dismal 2012 and 2013 (1.5x). The vertical exit recovery began in 2014 when the median
multiple advanced to 2.2x.

Q2s more noteworthy vertical software deals included Zoopla Property Groups acquisition of energy software provider Ulysses Enterprises for $292.0
million (3.0x EV/Revenue) and Autobytels acquisition of automotive software provider Dealix Corporation And Autotegrity for $25.0 million.

SOFTWARE M&A ACTIVITY BY PRODUCT CATEGORY

Mobile was the most active product category by


far in the second quarter, accounting for 20.1%
of all software M&A transactions.
Distant
runner-ups were Financial Services (6.0%),
Security (4.1%), Multimedia, Graphics &
Communications (4.3%), and BI, Risk &
Compliance (4.3%).

Historically, deal activity in any given product


category varies widely from year to year, based
upon evolving market adoption, changing
technology platforms, economic cycles, etc.
Examples include:

Public Sector transactions accounted for


3.6% of all software M&A activity in 2Q15,
but only 1.6% in 2Q14.

Education deals represented only 1.9% of all


software M&A activity in 2Q15, compared
with 4.0% in 2Q14.

Multimedia, Graphics & Communications


transactions were credited with 4.3% of
software M&A activity in 2Q15, compared
with 2.8% in 2Q14.

Among the 34 on-premise software product categories we track, ten had both sufficient deal activity and deal data to ascertain a category TTM revenue
multiple in 2Q15.

On a TTM basis, the Financial Services category was rewarded with the highest median exit multiple (4.1x) in Q2, followed by Healthcare with a median
exit multiple of 2.8x.

Notable Financial Services software transactions included BridgePoint Advisors acquisition of eFront (4.1x EV/Revenue) and First Derivatives acquisition
of ActivateClients (6.5x EV/Revenue).

First quarter Healthcare software transactions included Sy.Med Developments acquisition of HealthLine Systems (4.7x EV/Revenue) and Maquets
acquisition of Cetrea A/S (3.7x EV/Revenue).

On-premise CRM & Marketing exit multiples lagged far behind most others, with most M&A dollars in this product category going to SaaS/hosted solution
providers.

There were 150 SaaS M&A transactions in 2Q15, the most on record for any quarter, and approximately 154% greater than three years ago.

The median TTM EV/Revenue exit multiple of SaaS transactions was 3.7x in 2Q15, a modest uptick from the prior quarter. The median SaaS exit multiple
has been slightly depressed over the past three quarters as the number of SaaS targets has substantially increased. There are many reasons for the decline
over the past several years in SaaS median exit multiples, including a growing number of smaller, slower growing SaaS providers being acquired; a greater
number of acquisitions by tighter fisted private equity buyers.(Insight Ventures acquisition of E2Open for 3.2x TTM revenue, and The Carlyle Groups
acquisition of Dealogic for 3.6x TTM revenue); and a growing number of SaaS acquisitions by non-traditional buyers who tend to pay less, such as digital
and audio equipment manufacturer, Harman International, and business process services provider, Maximus.

That said, a number of SaaS sellers in Q2 fetched exit multiples well above the median, including Virtustream, purchased by EMC for $1.2 billion (~10.0x
revenue); Applied Predictive Technologies, acquired by Mastercard for $600 million (~6.0x revenue); TellApart, purchased by Twitter for $533 million
(~6.0x revenue); and DealerTrack, acquired by Cox Automotive for $4.5 billion (4.7x revenue).

The median SaaS exit multiple was 48% greater than the median on-premise software exit multiple in 2Q15 (3.4x vs 2.5x).

SaaS M&A BY PRODUCT CATEGORY 2Q15

Education and CRM, Marketing & Sales were


the most active SaaS M&A product categories,
accounting for 12.7% and 8.7%, respectively,
of all SaaS M&A transactions in the second
quarter.

While the CRM, Marketing and Sales category


usually accounts for a high percentage of
quarterly SaaS transaction activity, Education
was a surprise. The category was largely
driven by nearly one dozen higher education
SaaS acquisitions in the second quarter.

Messaging, Conferencing, & Communications


and Security product categories also
exhibited strength in 2Q15, accounting for
5.3% and 7.3%, respectively, of total SaaS
deal volume for the quarter.

Other notable categories included BI, Risk &


Compliance (5.3%), HR & Workforce
Management (4.7%), Healthcare (4.7%), and
Multimedia, Graphics & Communications
(4.7%).
