GLOBAL GDP
Sources: Worldbank, The Economist
and PIMCO
• The latest IMF forecast paints a picture of a steadily improving, but tentative, global economy.
• The IMF’s most recent forecast predicted GDP would grow 3.6% in 2014, a modest improvement over 2013’s 3.0% growth rate. In 2015,
global GDP is expected to improve further, growing to 3.9%.
• According to the IMF, median GDP growth in developed nations is expected to reach 2.3% in 2014, an improvement of 1.0% over 2013. Key
growth drivers include more government spending and highly favorable monetary policies. In emerging markets, GDP growth is expected to
advance from 4.7% in 2013, to 5.0% in 2014, and 5.3% in 2015.
• The IMF acknowledged its forecasts could be imperiled by recent geopolitical events and a growing risk of deflation, particularly in advanced
economies.

U.S. GDP AND UNEMPLOYMENT
• According to February’s Federal Reserve survey of 45 economists, GDP growth in 1Q14 is forecast to be 2.0%. For the year, expectations
are the U.S. economy will grow 2.8%, boosted by much stronger growth in the second, third, and fourth quarters.
• Over 40% of the economists surveyed by the Fed predicted the U.S. economy will grow 3.0% or greater. Only three months earlier, only
30% of economists were that optimistic.
• The Labor Department reported the unemployment rate at the end of 1Q14 was 6.7%, unchanged from 4Q13. The unemployment rate
remains at its lowest levels since 2008. The labor participation rate showed modest improvement, edging up slightly to 63.2% in March after
reaching a 35 year low in December 2013.

GLOBAL IT SPENDING
Sources: IT spending numbers shown in charts are
a blended average of Goldman Sachs, IDC,
Forrester, Gartner forecasts. IT Spending by
Category from Forrester.
• On average, analysts were more bullish in their forecasts for Global IT spending in 2014, predicting IT budget increases will more than
double each of the prior two years.
• The average global IT spending increase, as forecast by the several analysts we track, is 4.8% in 2014. That’s a noteworthy increase from
their average estimate of 4.0% made at the end of 2013.
• Analysts who raised their earlier forecasts, cited an improving economy and growing demand for mobility, cloud computing solutions and
infrastructure. IDC, however, cut its forecast slightly, from 5.0% to 4.6%, citing spending slowdowns in emerging markets and deceleration in
the massive growth of smartphones and tablets.
• Forrester forecasts software will account for 26% of all tech spending, leading all other categories. According to Forrester, “Software’s
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 AND DIGITAL ADVERTISING SPEND
Sources: comScore, IAB, IBD
Digital Advertising SpendE-Commerce Spend
• E-commerce retail sales in the U.S. totaled $63.6 billion in 4Q13 (the latest data available), up 13% YoY. The increase marks the
seventeenth consecutive quarter of YoY growth, and the thirteenth consecutive quarter of double digit growth.
• The Q4 total for E-Commerce spending accounted for 13% of all discretionary retail dollars spent.
• Mobile commerce accounted for $6.6B, or 10.5% of the 2013 E-Commerce total, according to comScore. In addition, YoY growth in mobile
commerce grew 23% in 2013.
• Internet ad revenues surged in 4Q13 (the latest data available) to $12.1 billion, up 17% YoY. For the year, 2013 ad revenues soared to
$42.8 billion, a landmark high, and the first time Internet advertising surpassed broadcast television in total ad spend.
• According to eMarketer, mobile ad spending was $18.0 billion in 2013, with Facebook and Google grabbing the majority of mobile ad market
growth. Facebook’s advance was especially noteworthy. In 2012, the company accounted for just 5.4% of global ad spending, but its share
rocketed to 17.5% in 2013.

STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE
• After a five year run up that included stellar returns in 2013, the bull market is showing signs of fatigue. After a very slow start in January,
1Q14 stock market performance across all exchanges and indices was choppy for the remainder of the quarter.
• Q1’s bumpy ride for investors was largely attributable to the Fed’s announced plans for quantitative easing, skyrocketing market multiples, and
geopolitical unrest, particularly in Ukraine.
• The S&P posted the best return of the three major stock indices in 1Q14, finishing up 1.3%. The Nasdaq finished close behind, up 0.5%.
Surprisingly, in an environment where investors flocked to value stocks, the DOW performed the worst of the three major U.S. stock market
indices, closing 1Q14 down 0.72%.
• The most dramatic swing in median stock returns in the first quarter was exhibited in the SEG SaaS Index. In early March, the index peaked
with a 9.2% return, only to plunge dramatically the rest of the month, closing 1Q14 down 4.6%. In addition to macro economic concerns, many
expressed concerns that SaaS valuations had become too rich. More on the impact to median EV/Revenue multiples later in the report.
• The SEG Software Index, consisting largely of large, mature, and profitable companies held its own in a tough stock market environment,
finishing the quarter flat.

THE SEG SOFTWARE INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
• On a quarterly basis, median TTM revenue growth in 1Q14 declined for the
sixth consecutive quarter, to 8.7%.
• Despite the tepid growth rate, the median TTM revenue of the SEG
Software Index reached $509M, the highest in history, and the highest
among our three tracking indices.
• More than half of public on-premise software companies reported TTM
revenue growth rates of 10% or below in 1Q14.
• Of the 15% of on-premise software providers with TTM revenue growth
rates of 30% or more, most were focused on three of the hottest product
categories, mobility (NQ Mobile – 114%), security (Palo Alto Networks –
49.2%), and Big Data (Splunk – 52.1%).
• Forecasts for moderately increased IT spending portend well for these on
premise providers. We expect median TTM revenue growth to steadily,
albeit modestly, improve for the balance of 2014.

TTM EBITDA Margin Distribution – 1Q14Median EBITDA Margin Performance - Quarterly
• The median EBITDA margin of public on-premise software companies
remained relatively steady over the past five quarters, closing 1Q14 at
18.5%.
• Only 5% of on-premise software companies achieved EBITDA margins
of 40%+.
• Check Point Software, a security provider, led the pack with an EBITDA
margin of 55.4%. Check Point’s extraordinary profitability can be
attributed to a strong, well-performing channel that reduces Check
Point’s cost of sales. Curiously, for a company in the rapidly evolving
security space, Check Point also spends much less on R&D (8% of total
revenue) vs. their industry peers (15% of total revenue).
• We anticipate EBITDA margins will experience modest decline in 2014,
as on-premise providers increase spending on sales and marketing and
invest more in R&D to update legacy products and expand their SaaS
offerings.

EV/Revenue Multiples by Size (TTM Revenue) - QuarterlyMedian EV/Revenue and EV/EBITDA Multiples - Quarterly
• The median EV/Revenue multiple for on-premise software providers
was 3.2x in 1Q14, up 10% YoY.
• Despite their unimpressive financial performance, public on-premise
software providers closed 1Q14 with trading multiples at or near their
seven year peak.
• The higher median EV/Revenue valuations are a reflection of
investor’s enthusiasm for technology stocks, which is likely to wane
over time, unless revenue growth improves and recurring revenue
from subscriptions accelerates.
• The 3.2x median EV/Revenue multiple in 1Q14 marks only the third
time since 1Q06 that EV/Revenue multiples surpassed 3.0x.
• 1Q14’s median EV/EBITDA multiple of 15.0x was the highest of any
quarter since 4Q07.
• Investors continued to be comforted by size. The EV/Revenue
multiples of on-premise software companies with revenues <$100
million remained markedly lower than their larger counterparts.
• SEG Software Index companies with TTM revenue between
$100M and $1B successfully balanced TTM revenue growth
(median 16.0%) and profitability (median EBITDA of 15.3%), and
were rewarded with the highest median EV/Revenue multiples.

EV/Revenue Multiples vs. TTM EBITDA Margins – 1Q14EV/Revenue Multiples vs. TTM Revenue Growth – 1Q14
• The correlation between the public market EV/Revenue multiples
and TTM revenue growth rates in 1Q14 was the highest since the
recovery began in 2009.
• On-premise software providers with TTM revenue growth rates of
10%+ were rewarded with median EV/Revenue multiples well above
the median. On-premise software providers achieving 40%+
revenue growth rates boasted a median 10.9x EV/Revenue multiple,
240% higher than the index median.
• Members of Q1’s 40%+ growth club mostly came from the highest
growth sectors of the software ecosystem – business intelligence
and security. Select companies included: Tableau Software (82.0%
TTM Revenue Growth, 19.8x EV/Revenue); Palo Alto Networks
(49.2%, 9.6x); and Splunk (52.1%, 24.9x).
• In a departure from the past several years, the market multiples of
on-premise software providers in 1Q14 correlated poorly with their
profitability.
• In 1Q14, on-premise software companies with no profits achieved
a median EV/Revenue multiple of 3.6x, higher than their peers with
EBITDA margins of break even to 40%.
• Investors in 1Q14 did take special note of on-premise providers
with EBITDA margins greater than 40%, conferring a median
EV/Revenue multiple of 7.7x, or 140% higher than the index
median. Select companies included: Verisk (46.1% EBITDA
margin, 7.7x EV/Revenue multiple); Ansys (46.8%, 7.4x);
Checkpoint Software (55.4%, 8.5x); and Solar Winds (41.7%,

• In 1Q14, nine product categories achieved median EV/Revenue multiples above the SEG Software Index median of 3.2x, led by Supply Chain Mgmt
(5.8x), Systems Management (5.0x) and Security (5.0x).
• The Supply Chain Management product category is attracting renewed investor interest as manufacturers, distributors and large ecommerce retailers
seek to address shrinking margins, operational inefficiencies and demanding customers with a new wave of IT solutions.
• The Systems Management and Security categories are benefitting from the rapid shift to cloud and mobile computing, which require new approaches
to scaling, managing and securing these new environments.
• The Gaming category closed 1Q14 with a median EV/Revenue multiple of 1.7x, the lowest of our 17 product categories, despite its 52% YoY median
EV/Revenue growth. Expect gaming multiples to grow further, as gaming providers - caught flat footed by the explosion of mobile and Internet
gaming - reposition with online and mobile games suitable for a multi-device world.
• TTM revenue growth rates slowed in 12 of 17 product categories saw in 1Q14. The five categories that proved to be the exceptions with higher YoY
growth rates included: ERP, IT Conglomerates, Supply Chain, Vertical – Finance (i.e. software providers providing solutions to the financial services
industry exclusively) and Vertical – Other (i.e. software providers focused on a vertical).

• The median TTM revenue growth rate for Public SaaS companies in 1Q14 was 28.2%, down from 33.0% in 1Q13. We expect improvement in 2014,
thanks to accelerating enterprise adoption of SaaS solutions, suites and platforms, and increased adoption of SaaS among the SMB segment.
• The median TTM revenue of public SaaS companies was $153.3M in 1Q14, a significant increase from just four years ago, when the median was
$114.6M. Despite their increased size, TTM revenue growth rates remained in the mid-twenties or higher.
• From the standpoint of size, Salesforce continued to dominate the SaaS Sector 1Q14 with TTM revenue of $4.1B, nearly 7x greater than the next
largest Public SaaS company. However, a good number of public SaaS Companies reached critical mass (>$350 million) from a revenue standpoint
in 1Q14, a feat made more difficult by a revenue model that typically requires deferring a large percentage of the revenue booking. These $350M+
SaaS providers can now be counted among a wide variety of product categories and industry sectors. Examples include Concur (expense
management product category, $586M TTM revenue); Athenahealth (healthcare, $595M); DealerTrack (automotive, $482M); Workday
(HCM/Financial, $469M); NetSuite (ERP, $415M); Service-Now (IT automation, $425M); and RealPage (real estate, $377M).
• Medians alone do not capture the standout performances of the most successful SaaS companies. Nearly one in five public SaaS companies grew
TTM revenue growth by 50% or more. As yet further testament to the widespread adoption of SaaS, these outperformers come from a variety of
categories including HCM, Security, Marketing, and Construction. Select companies include: Workday (71.4%); FireEye (94.0%); Marketo (64.0%);
Cornerstone OnDemand (57.0%); and Textura (70.1%).

• After peaking in 2010, the median EBITDA margin of public SaaS
companies has steadily declined, closing 1Q14 at -1.5%.
• Over half (54%) of public SaaS companies are unprofitable, and
roughly nine out of ten have EBITDA margins below the 20% median
of their on-premise software peers.
• And for the time being, that’s just what investors expect if the strong
correlation between their EV/Revenue multiples and TTM revenue
growth rates (see slide 26) is any indication.
• Investors should be circumspect about the GAAP P&L statements of
many public SaaS companies which seem to imply they’re suffering
significant losses and hemorrhaging cash. In truth, many are not only
cash flow positive, but flush with revenue from prepaid subscription
fees. But since GAAP requires deferred recognition of most of this
revenue, many SaaS providers reported negative operating margins.
As example, in its most recent earnings report, Workday reported
$56M in net income, yet generated $35M of cash from operations.

EV/Revenue Multiple Distribution – 1Q14Median EV/Revenue and EV/EBITDA Multiples - Quarterly
• At the close of 1Q14, the median EV/Revenue multiple for public SaaS companies was 8.0x, up 48% YoY. Although the 48% YoY multiple increase
was the highest on record, we expect the decline in the SaaS median TTM revenue growth rate portends a correction to more rational market
multiples later this year.
• Public SaaS companies continued to trade at a significant premiums to their on-premise peers (8.0x vs. 3.2x). While public SaaS companies have
historically enjoyed trading multiples twice that of their on-premise peers, 1Q14’s differential was exceptional.
• A premium multiple can be largely justified by comparing the relative lifetime value of a SaaS customer vs. an on-premise licensee. A SaaS
company’s strong customer retention and gross margins will garner significantly greater cash over time from its average customer than will its on-
premise counterpart. On the expense side of the equation, the jury is still out as to whether SaaS companies can achieve levels of profitability on par
with their on-premise counterparts, once SaaS demand tapers and current levels of sales & marketing spending become unsustainable.
• In the meantime, investors are placing their bets on the next wave of SaaS category leaders who are positioned to displace incumbent on-premise
providers across multiple product categories - just as Salesforce did to Siebel in the CRM category. A whopping 49% of the companies in the SEG
SaaS Index achieved a median EV/Revenue multiple of 9x or higher in 1Q14.

EV/Revenue Multiples vs. TTM EBITDA Margins – 1Q14EV/Revenue Multiples vs. TTM Revenue Growth Rates – 1Q14
• In 1Q14, profitable SaaS companies continued to be penalized with lower market multiples, as investors deemed profitability to be an
unacceptable tradeoff for accelerated growth.
• As proof, note the very strong correlation between the median TTM revenue growth rate and median market multiple of public SaaS
companies. Public SaaS companies that grew TTM revenue in excess of 50% were rewarded with an eye-popping median EV/Revenue
multiple of 19.1x in 1Q14.
• Conversely, there was an inverse correlation between EBITDA margins and median EV/Revenue multiples. Unprofitable public SaaS
companies boasted a rather remarkable median EV/Revenue multiple of 9.6x in 1Q14, while those with EBITDA margins above 30% had a far
more modest median market multiple in 1Q14 of 4.3x EV/Revenue.

• When the SEG SaaS Index is segmented by
relative EV/Revenue multiples, the top 25% of
public SaaS companies had a median
EV/Revenue of 16.8x in 1Q14.
• 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
Marketing (Marketo).
• The median TTM revenue growth rate of those in
the Top 25% percentile was 64.2%. All but two
companies (Paylocity and Veeva) in the top 25%
had negative EBITDA margins as of 1Q14.
• In contrast, public SaaS companies comprising
the bottom 25% of EV/Revenue multiples posted
a median EV/Revenue of only 3.5x. For this
group, the median TTM revenue growth rate was
17.9%, and all but four were profitable.

• During the first two months of the quarter, public SaaS EV/Revenue multiples jumped 17.7%, reaching a peak at the end of
February.
• During the run-up, fears of another tech bubble gained momentum, and investors scurried during the quarter’s closing
month.
• Consequently, public SaaS EV/Revenue multiples plunged 17.1% in March, giving up all gains from the prior two months, as
investors flocked to less risky value stocks.

• However, the March decline in median market multiples of public SaaS companies should be viewed from a broader historical
perspective.

SaaS product categories that currently lack sufficient number to yield reliable trend
data, but nevertheless demonstrate continued adoption of SaaS across vertical
markets and traditionally on-premise product categories.

• As in past quarters, public SaaS companies comprising the Workforce Management category boasted the highest median market valuation
(11.7x EV/Revenue) among our four SaaS product categories at the close of 1Q14. The category is led by Workday (34.0x EV/Revenue
multiple) and Cornerstone On Demand (15.6x). Valuation drivers included the continued displacement of on-premise incumbents, as well as a
growing performance among enterprises to facilitate and empower employers at all levels.
• Vertically focused SaaS companies achieved the highest TTM revenue growth rate in 1Q14, 39.6%. This group, which consists of long-
standing companies such as RealPage (real estate) and AthenaHealth (healthcare), was given a boost by Veeva Systems (life sciences) and
Textura (construction), both of whom IPO’ed in the past year. Veeva’s TTM revenue growth rate was 62.2% and Textura closed 1Q14 at
70.1%.
• The strong revenue performance of vertically focused SaaS companies led to a 68.5% YoY expansion in the median EV/Revenue multiple, the
best among our four tracking indices.
• In the CRM & Marketing category, SaaS providers that focused on leading edge marketing (marketing automation, business social marketing,
etc.), such as Marketo (15.2x) and Salesforce (9.3x), enjoyed market multiples considerably higher than those focused on more established
offerings in the category (e.g. email marketing campaign management) such as Constant Contact (2.6x).

• Approximately 62% of the companies comprising the SEG Internet
Index offer online services and solutions that are consumer targeted;
their revenue growth closely parallels the performance of the U.S.
economy.
• After a sequential drop in each of the last six quarters, median TTM
revenue growth of the SEG Internet Index improved in 1Q14, edging up
to 18.4% from 16.5% in 4Q13.
• Once again demonstrating the Internet is an ecosystem of unequals,
one in four public Internet providers far outpaced the pack, touting TTM
revenue growth greater than 40% in 1Q14.
• Many of these high flyers were recent IPOs whose innovative products
services and business models allowed them to scale quickly. Select
examples included: Trulia (111%), Facebook (55%), and Yelp (69%)
• Conversely, 31% of public Internet companies struggled to advance,
reporting TTM revenue growth of 10% or less.

• The median EBITDA margin of the SEG internet Index declined slightly
in 1Q14. Over the past five quarters, EBITDA margins of public Internet
companies have been stable, ranging from 9% to 10%.
• As testament to the revenue growth focus, 19% of SEG Internet Index
Companies were unprofitable in 1Q14.
• By contrast 9% of public Internet companies, mostly those with
significant transaction or advertising revenue, achieved EBITDA
margins above 40%, led by Giant Interactive (65.7%), VeriSign (61.0%),
Facebook (49.9%), Baidu.com (43.4%).
• Facebook, much maligned after its botched IPO and spotty mobile
performance when it first went public, has set an example for others in
the Internet sector by successfully monetizing its massive user base.
• Facebook has added credibility to the notion that its better to scale the
user base first, then monetize it. The question remains, will other public
Internet companies such as Yelp and Twitter fare as well?

EV/Revenue Multiple Distribution - QuarterlyMedian EV/Revenue and EV/EBITDA Multiples – Quarterly
• The median market multiple of public Internet providers closed 1Q14 at 3.3x, a marked improvement over 1Q13’s 2.0x.
• Considering approximately 60% of the public Internet companies are highly levered to consumer spending (Travel, Games, Advertising, etc),
we see the improvement in median EV/Revenue as a reflection of growing investor confidence in rapidly ramping online consumer spending
and digital advertising.
• The widely disparate financial performance of the 92 companies comprising the SEG Internet Index reveals an Internet ecosystem clearly
bifurcated into “haves” and “have nots.” Virile market adoptions, consumer fickleness, switching ease, unlimited choice and fierce competition
handsomely reward a select few and punish others. Many investors have apparently taken careful note.
• 1Q14 only served to further reinforce this reality, 35% of companies closed the quarter with an EV/Revenue multiple of 2.0x or less, while 28%
closed the quarter with a market multiple of 7.0x EV/Revenue or higher.
• Among the Internet companies boosting the highest EV/Revenue market multiples were a large number of relatively recent IPO’s that are
capturing a significant share of online advertising dollars. Examples include Twitter (44.3x); Yelp (24.1x); Qihoo (17.3x); and LinkedIn (14.7x).

EV/Revenue Multiples vs. TTM EBITDA Margins – 1Q14EV/Revenue Multiples vs. TTM Revenue Growth Rates – 1Q14
• Public Internet companies with TTM revenue growth of 40% or higher were rewarded with median EV/Revenue multiples (11.2x) markedly
greater than their slower growing peers. Among those growing 40%+ were: Trulia (93.3%); Zillow (69.5%); Yelp (67.7%); LinkedIn (65.6%).
• Unlike the SEG SaaS Index, where TTM EBITDA margins were inversely related to median EV/Revenue multiples, investors in public Internet
companies kept a keen eye on margins, and rewarded more profitable performers with significantly higher market multiples.
• Public Internet companies with EBITDA margins above 40% posted a median EV/Revenue multiple of 6.8x in 1Q14, 113% 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 4.5x, 44% below the SaaS median market valuation.
• Investors have clearly taken into consideration, when valuing Internet vs SaaS stocks, such factors as sustainability of the customer relationship,
and the associated recurring revenue, and the nature and extent of switching costs. By those measures the long term promise of SaaS seems
to far out weight the attractiveness of many public Internet companies.
• With few exceptions, many of the most profitable public Internet companies also reported stellar TTM revenue growth. Among them were
SouFun Holdings (43.2% revenue growth, 53.6% EBITDA margin), Facebook (48.2% revenue growth, 47.5% EBITDA margin), Baidu.com
(40.7% revenue growth, 45.0% EBITDA margin), and Mail.ru Group (32.2% revenue growth, 44.3% EBITDA margin).

1Q14 YoY Change in Median EV/Revenue Multiples1Q14 Median EV/Revenue Multiples
• Public Internet companies comprising the Services and Social product categories closed Q1 with revenue growth rates more than twice the
median (52.7%, 57.2%, respectively).
• Public Internet companies comprising the social category closed 1Q14 with the highest median EV/Revenue multiple, 14.7x, 206% higher than
the second highest category . Facebook and LinkedIn led the ascent, after proving social networking could be extremely profitable.
• The success social media Internet providers have had monetizing their services, largely through advertising, is taking share away from many in
the Ad Tech & Lead Generation space, with marketers clearly attracted to the scalability and ROI of advertising in Facebook and LinkedIn. As a
result of these shifting advertising budgets, the median TTM revenue growth of the Ad Tech & Lead Generation product category plunged 22.2%
YoY in 1Q14.
• Companies within the Gaming product category continue to be very profitable. At the close of 1Q14, the Gaming product category closed with a
median EBITDA margin of 32.9%, 3x higher than the median of public Internet companies. However, the category continues to be extremely hits
driven leading to low visibility of future performance, which keeps trading multiples somewhat muted.
• Despite poor financial performance, the Content & Media product category median EV/Revenue spiked 128% YoY to 3.5x in 1Q14. The
category was largely driven by outperformance of Netflix and Pandora, two companies who are demonstrating incredible staying power in the
face of stiff competition from companies with deep pockets.

WhatsApp accounted for roughly half of the quarter’s tally.
• In addition to WhatsApp, Q1 featured seven other On-premise/SaaS/Internet mega deals (EV > $500M), including Thoma Bravo’s acquisition
of TravelClick ($930M EV, 3.5x EV/Revenue multiple estimate); Verint’s purchase of Kana Software ($514M, 4.0x estimate); Rakuten’s

Median Exit Multiples
• The median on-premise software exit multiple in 1Q14 was 2.3x,
precisely the same as the past two quarters.
• Historically, a 2.3x revenue exit multiple is at the upper end of the
valuation range for on-premise software companies. That quarterly
median multiple was beaten only twice since 2007, in 3Q10 and
2Q11, when it climbed to 2.5x before receding the following quarter.
• On a TTM basis, 43% of all on-premise software targets in 1Q14
were acquired for 2.0x TTM revenue or less, and 69% for 3.0x or
less.
• Targets receiving an exit multiple of 3.0x or higher belonged to
currently “hot” software product categories experiencing rapid
market adoption and growth, including big data integration,
network infrastructure and security.
• Noteworthy smaller on-premise acquisitions in 1Q14 included
AeroFlex Holdings’ acquisition of network performance
management vendor Shenick Network Systems ($28.5 million,
3.0x TTM revenue), and Medina Capital’s acquisition of encryption
software provider Cryptzone ($13.4 million, 3.6x TTM revenue).

SOFTWARE M&A: BY OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND SIZE
• Almost three out of four software M&A transactions in 1Q14 featured
privately-held targets.
• Privately-held software companies in the first quarter were paid a
marginally higher multiple than their public counterparts (2.3x TTM
revenue vs. 2.1x)
• Public buyers in 1Q14 paid a median 2.7x TTM revenue for their
targets in 1Q14, compared to a median of 1.7x paid by private
buyers.
• Buyers with revenue greater than $200 million paid a median 3.1x
TTM revenue for their targets, compared to a median 1.6x TTM
revenue purchase price paid by smaller 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). In Q1, this match-up produced a median 3.7x
EV/Revenue exit multiple.

revenue multiple in 1Q14.
• On a TTM basis, Systems Management software M&A transactions garnered the highest median exit multiple (3.1x) among these ten
categories in the first quarter, led by Insight Venture Partners’ 2Q13 acquisition of BMC Software and Solarwinds’ 4Q13 purchase of Confio
Software.
• Healthcare Software was a close second, posting a solid 3.0x median EV/Revenue exit multiple in 1Q14. Notable Healthcare Software deals

SaaS M&A BY PRODUCT CATEGORY
• CRM, Marketing & Sales, and HR &
Workforce Management were the most
active SaaS product categories, each
accounting for 13.6% of all SaaS M&A
transactions in the first quarter.
• After three quarters of lackluster deal
volume, SaaS transactions in the HR &
Workforce Mgmt product category
comprised 13.6% of Q1’s total SaaS M&A
activity, compared to only 6.4% for all of
2013. The resurgence in the category’s
quarterly deal volume is largely
attributable to strong customer demand
for HR big data and HR analytics, as well
as mobile workforce and social recruiting
solutions.
• Messaging, Conferencing &
Communications and Systems
Management product categories also
exhibited strength in 1Q14, with each
accounting for 10.7% of total quarterly
deal volume. Both categories benefited
from rapidly ramping enterprise adoption
of SaaS deployed solutions, which is
placing increasing pressure on large, on-
premise legacy vendors to catch up.

• Internet M&A deal volume remained highly volatile, in large part due to shifting marketing strategies, evolving business models, and constant
changes in the competitive landscape.
• In early 2012, a large number of Internet targets exited amidst the hype of the pending Facebook IPO (5/2012), creating a spike in M&A
volume. After the Facebook IPO debacle, Internet investors and buyers alike became more cautious and circumspect, and M&A volume
declined markedly, plunging to 185 transactions in 1Q13, down from 273 transactions in 2Q12.
• There were 195 Internet M&A transactions in the first quarter, a 23% decline from 4Q13’s 256 deals. We believe the retreat signals a return
to more typical quarterly deal activity in the Internet sector, following three consecutive quarters of frothy deal activity. A similar normalization
was witnessed in 1Q13.
• The median EV/Revenue exit multiple for Internet sellers in 1Q14 was 1.8x, virtually unchanged from the prior four quarters.

INTERNET M&A: BY PRODUCT CATEGORY
• Internet ad-tech remained the most active Internet M&A category, with 57 transactions in 1Q14. The first quarter’s tally was down sharply
from 4Q13’s 94 ad-tech transactions, but in line with quarterly transaction volume during the first half of 2013. We do not anticipate a
resurgence in Ad-tech and Lead gen deal activity for the remainder of the year.
• Internet Infrastructure and Internet Commerce transaction activity declined significantly in 1Q14 from the prior quarter. Here too, the
category’s quarterly deal volume represented a retreat to normalcy following high deal volumes in recent quarters.
• Content and Media were the only Internet categories to post increases in deal activity over the prior quarter.

IT Spending by Category from Forrester. • On average, analysts were more bullish in their forecasts for Global IT spending in 2014, predicting IT budget increases will more than double each of the prior two years. • The average global IT spending increase, as forecast by the several analysts we track, is 4.8% in 2014. That’s a noteworthy increase from their average estimate of 4.0% made at the end of 2013. • Analysts who raised their earlier forecasts, cited an improving economy and growing demand for mobility, cloud computing solutions and infrastructure. IDC, however, cut its forecast slightly, from 5.0% to 4.6%, citing spending slowdowns in emerging markets and deceleration in the massive growth of smartphones and tablets. • Forrester forecasts software will account for 26% of all tech spending, leading all other categories. According to Forrester, “Software’s 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.” Global IT Spending by CategoryGlobal IT Spending (% YoY Change) 9.0% 6.0% -10.0% 8.0% 6.0% 2.0% 2.0% 4.8% 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 (F)

After a very slow start in January, 1Q14 stock market performance across all exchanges and indices was choppy for the remainder of the quarter. • Q1’s bumpy ride for investors was largely attributable to the Fed’s announced plans for quantitative easing, skyrocketing market multiples, and geopolitical unrest, particularly in Ukraine. • The S&P posted the best return of the three major stock indices in 1Q14, finishing up 1.3%. The Nasdaq finished close behind, up 0.5%. Surprisingly, in an environment where investors flocked to value stocks, the DOW performed the worst of the three major U.S. stock market indices, closing 1Q14 down 0.72%. • The most dramatic swing in median stock returns in the first quarter was exhibited in the SEG SaaS Index. In early March, the index peaked with a 9.2% return, only to plunge dramatically the rest of the month, closing 1Q14 down 4.6%. In addition to macro economic concerns, many expressed concerns that SaaS valuations had become too rich. More on the impact to median EV/Revenue multiples later in the report. • The SEG Software Index, consisting largely of large, mature, and profitable companies held its own in a tough stock market environment, finishing the quarter flat.

Check Point’s extraordinary profitability can be attributed to a strong, well-performing channel that reduces Check Point’s cost of sales. Curiously, for a company in the rapidly evolving security space, Check Point also spends much less on R&D (8% of total revenue) vs. their industry peers (15% of total revenue). • We anticipate EBITDA margins will experience modest decline in 2014, as on-premise providers increase spending on sales and marketing and invest more in R&D to update legacy products and expand their SaaS offerings.

The EV/Revenue multiples of on-premise software companies with revenues <$100 million remained markedly lower than their larger counterparts. • SEG Software Index companies with TTM revenue between $100M and $1B successfully balanced TTM revenue growth (median 16.0%) and profitability (median EBITDA of 15.3%), and were rewarded with the highest median EV/Revenue multiples.

On-premise software providers achieving 40%+ revenue growth rates boasted a median 10.9x EV/Revenue multiple, 240% higher than the index median. • Members of Q1’s 40%+ growth club mostly came from the highest growth sectors of the software ecosystem – business intelligence and security. Select companies included: Tableau Software (82.0% TTM Revenue Growth, 19.8x EV/Revenue); Palo Alto Networks (49.2%, 9.6x); and Splunk (52.1%, 24.9x). • In a departure from the past several years, the market multiples of on-premise software providers in 1Q14 correlated poorly with their profitability. • In 1Q14, on-premise software companies with no profits achieved a median EV/Revenue multiple of 3.6x, higher than their peers with EBITDA margins of break even to 40%. • Investors in 1Q14 did take special note of on-premise providers with EBITDA margins greater than 40%, conferring a median EV/Revenue multiple of 7.7x, or 140% higher than the index median.

  • 24. 24 Q1 2014 Software Industry Financial Report Copyright © 2014 by Software Equity Group, LLC All Rights Reserved • The median TTM revenue growth rate for Public SaaS companies in 1Q14 was 28.2%, down from 33.0% in 1Q13. We expect improvement in 2014, thanks to accelerating enterprise adoption of SaaS solutions, suites and platforms, and increased adoption of SaaS among the SMB segment. • The median TTM revenue of public SaaS companies was $153.3M in 1Q14, a significant increase from just four years ago, when the median was $114.6M. Despite their increased size, TTM revenue growth rates remained in the mid-twenties or higher. • From the standpoint of size, Salesforce continued to dominate the SaaS Sector 1Q14 with TTM revenue of $4.1B, nearly 7x greater than the next largest Public SaaS company. However, a good number of public SaaS Companies reached critical mass (>$350 million) from a revenue standpoint in 1Q14, a feat made more difficult by a revenue model that typically requires deferring a large percentage of the revenue booking. These $350M+ SaaS providers can now be counted among a wide variety of product categories and industry sectors. Examples include Concur (expense management product category, $586M TTM revenue); Athenahealth (healthcare, $595M); DealerTrack (automotive, $482M); Workday (HCM/Financial, $469M); NetSuite (ERP, $415M); Service-Now (IT automation, $425M); and RealPage (real estate, $377M). • Medians alone do not capture the standout performances of the most successful SaaS companies. Nearly one in five public SaaS companies grew TTM revenue growth by 50% or more.

  • 25. 25 Q1 2014 Software Industry Financial Report Copyright © 2014 by Software Equity Group, LLC All Rights Reserved • After peaking in 2010, the median EBITDA margin of public SaaS companies has steadily declined, closing 1Q14 at -1.5%. • Over half (54%) of public SaaS companies are unprofitable, and roughly nine out of ten have EBITDA margins below the 20% median of their on-premise software peers. • And for the time being, that’s just what investors expect if the strong correlation between their EV/Revenue multiples and TTM revenue growth rates (see slide 26) is any indication. • Investors should be circumspect about the GAAP P&L statements of many public SaaS companies which seem to imply they’re suffering significant losses and hemorrhaging cash. In truth, many are not only cash flow positive, but flush with revenue from prepaid subscription fees. But since GAAP requires deferred recognition of most of this revenue, many SaaS providers reported negative operating margins. As example, in its most recent earnings report, Workday reported $56M in net income, yet generated $35M of cash from operations.

  • 26. 26 Q1 2014 Software Industry Financial Report Copyright © 2014 by Software Equity Group, LLC All Rights Reserved EV/Revenue Multiple Distribution – 1Q14Median EV/Revenue and EV/EBITDA Multiples - Quarterly • At the close of 1Q14, the median EV/Revenue multiple for public SaaS companies was 8.0x, up 48% YoY. Although the 48% YoY multiple increase was the highest on record, we expect the decline in the SaaS median TTM revenue growth rate portends a correction to more rational market multiples later this year. • Public SaaS companies continued to trade at a significant premiums to their on-premise peers (8.0x vs. 3.2x). While public SaaS companies have historically enjoyed trading multiples twice that of their on-premise peers, 1Q14’s differential was exceptional. • A premium multiple can be largely justified by comparing the relative lifetime value of a SaaS customer vs. an on-premise licensee. A SaaS company’s strong customer retention and gross margins will garner significantly greater cash over time from its average customer than will its on- premise counterpart. On the expense side of the equation, the jury is still out as to whether SaaS companies can achieve levels of profitability on par with their on-premise counterparts, once SaaS demand tapers and current levels of sales & marketing spending become unsustainable. • In the meantime, investors are placing their bets on the next wave of SaaS category leaders who are positioned to displace incumbent on-premise providers across multiple product categories - just as Salesforce did to Siebel in the CRM category. A whopping 49% of the companies in the SEG SaaS Index achieved a median EV/Revenue multiple of 9x or higher in 1Q14.

Public SaaS companies that grew TTM revenue in excess of 50% were rewarded with an eye-popping median EV/Revenue multiple of 19.1x in 1Q14. • Conversely, there was an inverse correlation between EBITDA margins and median EV/Revenue multiples. Unprofitable public SaaS companies boasted a rather remarkable median EV/Revenue multiple of 9.6x in 1Q14, while those with EBITDA margins above 30% had a far more modest median market multiple in 1Q14 of 4.3x EV/Revenue.

Among those growing 40%+ were: Trulia (93.3%); Zillow (69.5%); Yelp (67.7%); LinkedIn (65.6%). • Unlike the SEG SaaS Index, where TTM EBITDA margins were inversely related to median EV/Revenue multiples, investors in public Internet companies kept a keen eye on margins, and rewarded more profitable performers with significantly higher market multiples. • Public Internet companies with EBITDA margins above 40% posted a median EV/Revenue multiple of 6.8x in 1Q14, 113% 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 4.5x, 44% below the SaaS median market valuation. • Investors have clearly taken into consideration, when valuing Internet vs SaaS stocks, such factors as sustainability of the customer relationship, and the associated recurring revenue, and the nature and extent of switching costs. By those measures the long term promise of SaaS seems to far out weight the attractiveness of many public Internet companies. • With few exceptions, many of the most profitable public Internet companies also reported stellar TTM revenue growth.

  • 43. 43 Q1 2014 Software Industry Financial Report Copyright © 2014 by Software Equity Group, LLC All Rights Reserved 1Q14 YoY Change in Median EV/Revenue Multiples1Q14 Median EV/Revenue Multiples • Public Internet companies comprising the Services and Social product categories closed Q1 with revenue growth rates more than twice the median (52.7%, 57.2%, respectively). • Public Internet companies comprising the social category closed 1Q14 with the highest median EV/Revenue multiple, 14.7x, 206% higher than the second highest category . Facebook and LinkedIn led the ascent, after proving social networking could be extremely profitable. • The success social media Internet providers have had monetizing their services, largely through advertising, is taking share away from many in the Ad Tech & Lead Generation space, with marketers clearly attracted to the scalability and ROI of advertising in Facebook and LinkedIn. As a result of these shifting advertising budgets, the median TTM revenue growth of the Ad Tech & Lead Generation product category plunged 22.2% YoY in 1Q14. • Companies within the Gaming product category continue to be very profitable. At the close of 1Q14, the Gaming product category closed with a median EBITDA margin of 32.9%, 3x higher than the median of public Internet companies. However, the category continues to be extremely hits driven leading to low visibility of future performance, which keeps trading multiples somewhat muted. • Despite poor financial performance, the Content & Media product category median EV/Revenue spiked 128% YoY to 3.5x in 1Q14. The category was largely driven by outperformance of Netflix and Pandora, two companies who are demonstrating incredible staying power in the face of stiff competition from companies with deep pockets.

The resurgence in the category’s quarterly deal volume is largely attributable to strong customer demand for HR big data and HR analytics, as well as mobile workforce and social recruiting solutions. • Messaging, Conferencing & Communications and Systems Management product categories also exhibited strength in 1Q14, with each accounting for 10.7% of total quarterly deal volume. Both categories benefited from rapidly ramping enterprise adoption of SaaS deployed solutions, which is placing increasing pressure on large, on- premise legacy vendors to catch up.

  • 56. 56 Q1 2014 Software Industry Financial Report Copyright © 2014 by Software Equity Group, LLC All Rights Reserved • Internet M&A deal volume remained highly volatile, in large part due to shifting marketing strategies, evolving business models, and constant changes in the competitive landscape. • In early 2012, a large number of Internet targets exited amidst the hype of the pending Facebook IPO (5/2012), creating a spike in M&A volume. After the Facebook IPO debacle, Internet investors and buyers alike became more cautious and circumspect, and M&A volume declined markedly, plunging to 185 transactions in 1Q13, down from 273 transactions in 2Q12. • There were 195 Internet M&A transactions in the first quarter, a 23% decline from 4Q13’s 256 deals. We believe the retreat signals a return to more typical quarterly deal activity in the Internet sector, following three consecutive quarters of frothy deal activity. A similar normalization was witnessed in 1Q13. • The median EV/Revenue exit multiple for Internet sellers in 1Q14 was 1.8x, virtually unchanged from the prior four quarters.

  • 57. 57 Q1 2014 Software Industry Financial Report Copyright © 2014 by Software Equity Group, LLC All Rights Reserved INTERNET M&A: BY PRODUCT CATEGORY • Internet ad-tech remained the most active Internet M&A category, with 57 transactions in 1Q14. The first quarter’s tally was down sharply from 4Q13’s 94 ad-tech transactions, but in line with quarterly transaction volume during the first half of 2013. We do not anticipate a resurgence in Ad-tech and Lead gen deal activity for the remainder of the year. • Internet Infrastructure and Internet Commerce transaction activity declined significantly in 1Q14 from the prior quarter. Here too, the category’s quarterly deal volume represented a retreat to normalcy following high deal volumes in recent quarters. • Content and Media were the only Internet categories to post increases in deal activity over the prior quarter.
