Associates LLC 2016 1 Information Technology Services Q3 2016 Newsletter QUARTERLY M&A SUMMARY IT M&A picked up in Q3 2016, but lags the volume and value experienced in 2015. Low GDP growth and “lackluster” IT spend forecasts cast a shadow on organic growth for IT services firms. Popular targets during the quarter were systems integrators, managed service providers, security firms, and digital specialists, especially those with deep partner platform expertise (e.g. Microsoft CRM and Salesforce.com). Buyers are seeking predictability with managed services and recurring revenues, and growth with cloud services and security offerings. Established technology product companies acquired IT services firms, including Salesforce, Konica Minolta, Progress Software, and Teradata. Median enterprise value (EV) multiples for publicly traded IT services companies were roughly the same as the prior quarter. In the Systems Integration segment, 1-year growth rates increased from 4.3% to 11.1%, largely resulting from M&A activity. In the Security segment, median LTM EBITDA multiples jumped from 13.5x to 18.5x, however LTM revenue multiples only increased from 1.5x to 1.7x.

Associates LLC 2016 2 Low Economic and Lackluster Industry Growth The GDP growth rate of 1.4% in the United States1 has been described as anemic. The labor market engine remains in gear, as payroll employment rose by 156,000 while the August total was revised up modestly to 167,000. Given that the employment expansion is now in its seventh year, job gains have moderated compared with the last two years. The unemployment rate edged higher to 5% as more workers stepped into the labor force.2 Described as “lackluster” in Gartner’s July report, worldwide IT spending is forecast to be flat in 2016, totaling $3.41 trillion. This is up from last quarter's forecast of down 0.5%. The growth areas were Software (5.8%), IT Services (3.7%) and Data Center Systems / Infrastructure (2.0%), and the declining areas were Devices (-5.3%) and Communications Services (-1.4%).3 Cloud Services are a Bright Spot The brightest spot in IT services continues to be the massive shift to public cloud platforms. Why? Public cloud computing offers a compelling value proposition: On-Demand usage and pricing Global reach High scalability Resource elasticity Rapidly growing set of features and services Capital cost avoidance Access to real-time and continual online application upgrades Ability to rapidly deploy new applications Gartner estimates the worldwide public cloud services market will grow 16.5% in 2016 to $204 billion, up from $175 billion in 2015. Each public cloud segment is expected to have rapid growth over the next 10 years. Software as a Service (SaaS) is expected to grow at a 19% CAGR, Platform as a Service (PaaS) at a 33% CAGR, and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) at an 18% CAGR. The big question is not “if” but “when” will 100% of enterprise workloads will run in the public cloud.4 Cloud solutions company BetterCloud recently surveyed 230,000 IT professionals across almost all industries and size regarding their cloud usage. They found that the number of organizations that run 100% of their IT in the cloud is rapidly increasing. Approximately 12% of organizations surveyed run 100% of their IT in the cloud. By 2020, 50% of respondents said they will be moving their IT workloads entirely to the cloud. By 2025, that number will climb past 70%.5 Not surprising, SMBs are moving more rapidly to the cloud than larger organizations. However, public cloud adoption by large organizations is expected to rise dramatically in coming years. JP Morgan recently surveyed 207 CIOs from large companies (with annual budgets of $600 million or more) and found that currently, 16.2% of workloads are running in the public cloud and that by 2020, 41.3% of workloads will run in a public cloud - at least 20% YoY growth in public cloud workloads over the next five years. Other interesting findings were over half of respondents will double software and services 1 US Bureau of Economic Analysis, http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/national/gdp/gdpnewsrelease.htm 2 Moody’s, https://www.economy.com/dismal/indicators/releases/usa_employ 3 Gartner, Inc., 2016 http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3368517 4 Gartner, Inc. 2016 http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3188817 5 BetterCloud, 2015 https://www.bettercloud.com/monitor/cloud-office-systems-adoption/

Associates LLC 2016 3 development staff, 85% will be focused on new market facing apps and services, and 50% of cloud apps and services are for use cases not served in the client server era.6 IDC predicts that spending on cloud services and IT products will result in 5-10x growth in new apps and services, including Internet of Things (IoT) and cognitive solutions. Penetration of "cloud code" into on premise software will increase adoption of hybrid cloud strategies, and expansion of cloud managed and professional services.7 Public cloud adoption is creating business opportunities for IT services providers who have proven they can help companies harness the power of cloud technologies, implement best practices, deliver innovative design, and manage the cultural shift with high employee engagement. IoT Growth Creating New Opportunities The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the networking of physical objects through the use of embedded sensors, actuators, and other devices that can collect or transmit information about the objects. IoT’s promise is that new business value will be created through interpreted and actuated connected “things.” IoT spending in 2015 exceeded $1.7 trillion, a 14% jump from 2014, driven by nearly 15 billion devices. By 2020, this will rise to $3 trillion and nearly 30 billion devices.8 Mobile phones continue to be the largest category of connected devices, but in 2018 they are expected to be surpassed by other IoT devices, which includes connected cars, machines, utility meters, remote metering and consumer electronics. New use cases will drive IoT sensors and devices to exceed mobile phones as the largest category of connected devices in 2018, growing at a 23% CAGR from 2015 to 2021.9 Security Services for Networks, Things and Data Growth of public cloud platforms and connecting things to the internet has resulted in a massive amount of data in the digital universe. Global data growth has been rising (+50% CAGR) rapidly since 2010, while data infrastructure costs have been falling (-20% CAGR) fast. While there is heightened need for infrastructure centric security and management, there is also increasing demand for data-centric security and management. Managed services opportunities are emerging to secure data with centralized control and protection policy across clouds, users, devices and machines. Those companies building growing service offerings around security are attractive targets for acquisition. NOTABLE TRANSACTIONS September 2016 Payment Software Company, Inc. acquired by NCC Group Security NCC Group plc (LSE: NCC) an independent global cybersecurity and risk mitigation firm, has acquired Payment Software Company Inc. (“PSC”) for a maximum consideration of $18.75m in cash.

PSC works with a broad range of blue chip clients including major financial institutions and other businesses across the payment sector. PSC is based in Silicon Valley, with presence in 29 states in the US. Total consideration of up to $18.75m - initial payment of $15m (subject to completion adjustments), with two further payments of up to $1.875m 6 JPMorgan 2016, Barons 2016, http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2016/04/14/amazon-seeing- momentous-change-of-guard-as-public-cloud-booms-says-jp-morgan/ 7 IDC, 2016, http://www.idc.com/promo/thirdplatform/fourpillars/cloud 8 Gartner, 2016 9 Ericsson Mobility Report, 2016 https://www.ericsson.com/mobility-report

Associates LLC 2016 4 each, over the next two years dependent on performance related targets. In the year to 31 December 2015, PSC generated adjusted EBITDA of $1.6m on revenue of $9.5m, with approximately 85% of the revenue annually repeating.

The company has over 260 employees throughout its offices in the US, Germany, UK, Japan and China. Accenture intends to integrate Kurt Salmon’s business into its Accenture Strategy division and expects the target company’s employees to join the integrating division upon successful completion of the acquisition. September 2016 Anthelio acquired by Atos Integration Atos further strengthened its digital health services portfolio in the fast-growing US healthcare market by acquiring Anthelio, a recognized industry leader in the healthcare market with a full suite of healthcare IT services, IP based revenue cycle management services, and state-of-the-art patient engagement solutions. Anthelio expands the footprint of Atos' North American operations with the addition of more than 1,700 Anthelio employees of which 1,300 are in the US, and doubles Atos’ existing $200m of revenue in healthcare services in North America and adds $600m of backlog. Following this acquisition, Atos expects to generate $2.5 billion of revenue in North America, its largest geography. August 2016 Systems Maintenance Services acquired by Partners Group Managed Services Partners Group, a global private markets investment manager, has agreed to acquire global IT support services provider Systems Maintenance Services ("SMS").
