U.S. AND GLOBAL GDP

• 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 IMF’s October Update trimmed its July estimate to an annualized GDP growth rate of 3.1% 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.

U.S. GDP AND UNEMPLOYMENT
• 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 1.5% in the third quarter.
• The Wall Street Journal’s survey of more than 60 leading economists now projects 2.7% growth in Q4, and 2.5% growth in the first quarter of 2016.
• The Labor Department reported the unemployment rate at the end of 3Q15 was 5.1%, a noteworthy decline from 3Q14’s 5.9%, and the lowest
unemployment rate since 2008. The Wall Street Journal’s survey of economists projects the unemployment rate will continue to decline, reaching 5.0% by
year end, and dropping to 4.7% by year end 2016.
• The labor participation rate closed 3Q15 at 62.4% 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.

GLOBAL IT SPEND
Sources: Gartner , Forrester
• 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 Q2, Gartner projected global IT spending would shrink -5.5% in 2015, and in Q3 revised that estimate to -4.9%, 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, “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.”

STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE
• The DOW, S&P and NASDAQ, as well as our SEG Software, Internet, and SaaS indices, all posted flat to modest YTD returns through the first half of 2015.
However, each of the indices turned negative by the end of Q3, in large part due to a significant retreat in the month of September.
• The S&P and DOW closed Q3 -8.5% and -6.7%,YTD, respectively.
• The SEG Software and SaaS Indices, which had both posted positive YTD returns into late August, turned sharply negative during the month of September,
closing the quarter down 2.9% and 10.2%, respectively. Investors took some comfort in the SEG Software Index, which is generally comprised of larger
and profitable companies, while shifting their investment focus away from higher growth and less profitable SaaS companies.
• The SEG Internet Index lagged our other two tracking indices for most of 2015, posting a -18.5% YTD return at the close of 3Q15.

THE SEG SOFTWARE INDEX
• 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 130 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.

THE SEG SOFTWARE INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
• After hovering above 8.0% the prior three quarters, the median TTM
revenue growth rate of public on-premise software companies dipped
to 7.6% in 3Q15.
• Nearly one in four of the public on-premise software companies
comprising the SEG Software Index reported negative revenue growth
in Q3; 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 IT’s hottest product
categories: security (Cyberark Software, 76.4%), business intelligence
(Splunk, 46.8%) and mobility (Opera, 60.6%).
• 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.

THE SEG SOFTWARE INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
• 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 (above 18%) the past five
quarters.
• Fewer than half of public on-premise software companies achieved
EBITDA margins of 20% or better in the third quarter.
• Check Point Software, a security software provider, was a standout
exception, leading the pack once again in 3Q15 with an EBITDA margin of
52.9%. Check Point’s 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 (8.8% of
revenue) compared to their category peers (14.5% of total revenue).
• We anticipate the median EBITDA margin of public software companies
will hold steady in 4Q15, 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 3Q15 was consistent with historic norms: 14.5% for Research &
Development, 19.7% for Sales & Marketing, and 8.7% 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 on-premise public software companies lagged far behind their SaaS counterparts, which
continued to place significant bets on new customer acquisition (19.7% for on-premise vs. 37% for SaaS).

• The EV/Revenue multiples of smaller public on-premise software
companies – those with revenues <$100 million – lagged well behind
their larger counterparts.
• 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 and Q3, another indication that investors
are comforted by size and incumbency and willing to ignore slowed
growth amidst economic uncertainty.
THE SEG SOFTWARE INDEX: PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES
• The median EV/Revenue market multiple for public on-premise
software providers was 3.1x in 3Q15.
• The ~3.0x median EV/Revenue multiple that’s 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 companies with
revenue over $500 million expanded in the third quarter.
• We believe investor enthusiasm for the largest on-premise providers
will hold steady in Q4, 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.

THE SEG SOFTWARE INDEX: PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES
• While market performance of on-premise public software companies
remains closely correlated with their ability to sustainably drive
profits, a select group of companies able to generate significant
revenue growth in Q3 were rewarded by the street with a median
9.4x EV/Revenue multiple.
• Members of Q3’s 30%+ growth club that rewarded investors
handsomely during the quarter came from a number of product
categories, including Business Intelligence and Security: Splunk
(46.8% TTM revenue growth, 14.3x EV/Revenue), Palo Alto Networks
(55.1% TTM revenue growth, 15.7x EV/Revenue) (36.8% TTM
revenue growth, 9.9x EV/Revenue).
• 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%.
• On-premise providers with EBITDA margins greater than 40%
included: Check Point Software (53% EBITDA margin, 8.3x
EV/Revenue multiple); Aspen Technology (42%, 7.2x); MSCI (42%,
7.0x); and Evertec (42%, 5.7x).

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, Systems Management providers saw a increase in median EV/Revenue market multiples from 4.0x in 2Q15 to 5.3x in Q3, despite lower
growth.
• See Appendix for the complete list of companies within each product category.

• In 3Q15, nine product categories achieved median EV/Revenue multiples above the SEG Software Index median of 3.1x, led by Systems Management
(5.3x), Vertical Other (4.9x), and Vertical Finance (4.4x).
• The Business Intelligence 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 3Q15 with a median EV/Revenue multiple of 1.5x, the lowest of our 16 product categories. We’ve 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 hasn’t happened – yet.
• Only three product categories posted median TTM growth rates of 10% or higher in 3Q15 – Business Intelligence, Development Platforms and Vertical-
Other. In comparison, each public SaaS category posted median TTM revenue growth in excess of 23%. The IT conglomerates category was the only
category to post negative TTM revenue growth (-1.1%) in Q3, as these massive software companies are forced to defer significant amounts of revenue in
an attempt to convert to subscription based pricing.

THE SEG SaaS INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
• The median TTM revenue growth rate of Public SaaS companies in 3Q15 was 25.6%, down from 28.5% in 2Q15, but up from 21.7%year over year.
• Median growth rates alone do not capture the standout performances of the most successful SaaS companies. Nearly one in five 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 (121.2%); Medical Transcription Billing (126.9%); HortonWorks (109.6%); FireEye (97.4%); New Relic (73.2%); Tableau Software
(71.4%); Zendesk (69.1%); and Workday (58.2%).
• The median TTM revenue of public SaaS companies was $164M in 3Q15, a significant YoY increase from 3Q14’s $123.2M. 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 3Q15 TTM revenue of $6.0B, over 6x greater than the next largest public
SaaS company. Still, many public SaaS companies reached critical revenue mass (>$350 million) in 3Q15, 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, $975M); AthenaHealth (Healthcare, $880.4M); RealPage (Real Estate,
$434.2M); and Service-Now (IT Service Mgmt., $917.8M).

THE SEG SaaS INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
• The median EBITDA margin of public SaaS companies remained
negative but has marginally improved that last two quarters, closing
3Q15 at -10.6%.
• Approximately three out of five (61%) public SaaS companies are
unprofitable, and nearly 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 they’re suffering significant losses and hemorrhaging
cash, don’t 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 3Q15, public SaaS companies invested a median 37% of total revenue on sales & marketing, almost double their on-premise counterparts. However, this
represents a modest decline from the 41% S&M spend in 3Q14.
• After staying constant at roughly 19.7% for the past four quarters, R&D spending as a percent of revenue fell slightly in 3Q15, declining to 18.8%. Public
SaaS companies in 3Q15 spent 4.3% 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 bottomed out at a -13.2% median EBITDA margin in 4Q14. Since then EBITDA margin for the
group has steadily rose to -10.6% as these organizations have pulled back slightly on their investments in sales & marketing and R&D.

THE SEG SaaS INDEX: PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES
• At the close of 3Q15, the median market multiple of public SaaS companies was 5.8x EV/Revenue, down 11% YoY, but up modestly from last quarter’s
median multiple of 5.0x.
• Yet investors were goggle-eyed about the prospects of a good number of public SaaS providers. One-quarter of the companies in the SEG SaaS Index
achieved a median EV/Revenue multiple of 9x or higher in 3Q15, and public SaaS companies continued to trade at a significant premium to their on-
premise peers (5.8x vs. 3.1x median EV/Revenue). Although public SaaS companies have historically enjoyed trading multiples about double their on-
premise peers, the differential is shrinking. 3Q15’s premium of 87% was much lower than 3Q14’s 110% 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.

THE SEG SaaS INDEX: PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES
• In 3Q15, investors continued to handsomely reward the fastest growing public SaaS companies, albeit more modestly than in Q2. Public SaaS companies
that grew TTM revenue in excess of 50% were anointed with the highest median EV/Revenue multiple of 11.1x in 3Q15, compared to a median market
multiple of 11.9x 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 Q3, 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. The older
view, however, prevailed for those SaaS companies deemed to be too profitable (30%+), which investors saw as unacceptable tradeoff against accelerated
growth.

Top 25%
Bottom 25%
• When the SEG SaaS Index is segmented on
the basis of median EV/Revenue multiple,
the top 25% boasted an impressive median
11.5x in 3Q15, a healthy increase from Q2’s,
9.5x multiple, but below Q1’s EV/Rev
multiple of 13.2x.
• These SaaS high flyers are market leaders in
a wide array of SaaS categories including
security (FireEye); HCM/Finance
(Workday); ERP (NetSuite); eCommerce
(Shopify); and Vertically Focused (Castlight
Health – Healthcare ERP).
• The median TTM revenue growth rate of
those in the top 25% percentile was 44.3%.
All but two companies (Paycom, and Ellie
Mae) in the top rank had a negative EBITDA
margin in 3Q15.
• In contrast, the median TTM revenue
growth rate of those comprising the bottom
25% of EV/Revenue multiples was 20.5%,
with one third of these companies being
profitable.

THE SEG SaaS INDEX BY PRODUCT CATEGORY:
PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES
• Public SaaS companies comprising the Vertically Focused category posted the highest median public market multiple (6.9x EV/Revenue) of our four SaaS
tracking categories in 3Q15. The category was led by Ellie Mae (9.9x EV/Revenue multiple) and Q2 Holdings (9.7x 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 3Q15,
32%. Category standouts included healthcare spend management SaaS provider, Castlight Health (121% TTM revenue Growth); construction sector SaaS
vendor, Textura (45% TTM revenue growth); and life sciences SaaS vendor, Veeva Systems (38% TTM revenue growth).
• In 3Q15, 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 Zendesk (11.3x EV/Rev, 69% TTM revenue growth); and Hubspot (8.7x EV/Rev,, 55% TTM revenue growth)

THE SEG INTERNET INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
• Approximately 60% 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 rising from 15.8% growth in 3Q14 to 19.3% in both 4Q14 and
1Q15, median TTM revenue growth of the SEG Internet Index has
dropped 17.8% and 16.1% in 2Q15 and 3Q15, respectively.
• Once again demonstrating the Internet is an ecosystem of unequals,
22% of public Internet providers far outpaced the pack, posting TTM
revenue growth greater than 40% in 3Q15. These high flyers
included 58.com (99.7%), BitAuto Holdings (89.3%), and YY (79.5%).
• Conversely, 34% of public Internet companies struggled to advance,
reporting TTM revenue growth of 10% or less in 3Q15. The slow
growers included VeriSign, Yahoo!, Zynga, Brightcove, and Monster
Worldwide.

THE SEG INTERNET INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
• The median EBITDA margin of the SEG internet Index has declined
modestly over the last four quarters and roughly 30% of SEG Internet
Index companies were unprofitable in 3Q15.
• 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 (62.6%),
Mail.ru Group (44%) and Tencent Holdings (42.0%).
• With few exceptions, many of the most profitable public Internet
companies reported stellar TTM revenue growth. Among them were
Tencent Holdings (42% EBITDA margin, 23% revenue growth);
Facebook (43.6% EBITDA margin, 46.2% revenue growth) and
Baidu.com (30.2% EBITDA margin, 42.5% revenue growth).

24.2% for Sales & Marketing, and 11.6% 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 7.1% in 3Q15. For the past year, median
EBITDA margin for the Internet Index has hovered between 7-8%.

THE SEG INTERNET INDEX: PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES
• The median public market EV/Revenue multiple of public Internet providers closed 3Q15 at 1.7x, roughly on par with the first and second quarters, but
notably lower than the 2.2x multiple of a year ago. More than 57% of public Internet companies closed Q3 with an EV/Revenue multiple of 2.0x or less.
• We believe Q3’s depressed Internet market multiple reflected continuing investor caution about a sustained economic recovery and its concomitant
impact on consumer spending. Approximately 60% of public Internet companies are consumer focused (Travel, Games, Retail, Advertising, etc). Until
wages improve and consumer confidence is restored, it’s likely Internet providers will continue to lag well behind their SaaS and on-premise peers in
market multiples.
• That said, investors in Q3 continued to richly reward the most rapidly growing and most promising Internet providers, especially those that generated
significant revenue from online advertising and ecommerce. One in ten closed the quarter with a market multiple of 7.0x EV/Revenue or higher, including
Wowo Limited (21.3x EV/Rev), Facebook (16.9x) , 58.com (14.7x EV/Rev) and RenRen (12.4x).

THE SEG INTERNET INDEX: PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES
• Here, too, investors favored growth. Public Internet companies with TTM revenue growth of 30% or higher had a median EV/Revenue multiple of 6.0x in
Q3, compared to less than 2.0x for their slower growing (<20%) peers. The outperformers included LinkedIn (38.7%, 9.2x EV/Revenue); Twitter (70.3%,
8.6x EV/Revenue); 58.com (99.7%, 14.7x EV/Revenue); and Facebook (46.2%, 16.9x 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 3Q15, approximately 300%
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 5.0x in Q3, 16% 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.

THE SEG INTERNET INDEX BY PRODUCT CATEGORY:
PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES
• Public Internet companies comprising the Social product category closed Q3 with a median revenue growth rate of 46.2%, roughly 3x the overall Internet
median growth rate of 16.1%. The Ad-tech product category ended Q3 with a median revenue growth rate of 20.1%, roughly 1.3x greater than Q3’s
Internet median.
• Public Internet companies comprising the Social category closed 3Q15 with the highest median EV/Revenue multiple, 8.6x, led by Facebook (16.9x) and
RenRen (12.4x).
• 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 larger platforms.
• Companies within the Search and Gaming product categories continued to be very profitable in Q3, posting median EBITDA margin of 30.4% and 36.2%,
respectively.
• Following a correction in public software industry valuations witnessed throughout 2014, all nine of our product categories experienced a decline in YoY
EV/Rev multiples.

Copyright © SEG Capital Advisors, LLC, All Rights Reserved
Average On-Premise Software Deal SizeU.S. Software Mergers & Acquisitions Activity
• There were 524 reported software M&A transactions in 3Q15, a modest decline from 2Q15’s quarterly record of 581 software M&A transactions. The third
quarter tally will likely increase by approximately 15 – 20 transactions as unpublicized deals are added. The third quarter also marks the fourth
consecutive quarter in which transaction volume has eclipsed 500 deals, a sign of the continued bull market in software M&A.
• Software M&A spending in 3Q15 totaled $28.1 billion, down from Q2 2015’s $37 billion aggregate price tag, which included twelve mega deals (EV>500M),
four with price tags exceeding $2 billion. There were 11 megadeals in the third quarter (including only three exceeding $2 billion). Representative mega
deals in the quarter included Vista Equity Partners’ acquisition of Solera Holdings ($6.2 billion EV, 5.4x TTM revenue); IBM’s acquisition of Merge
Healthcare ($975 million, 4.3x TTM revenue); Infor’s acquisition of GT Nexus ($675 million, 5.1x TTM revenue estimate) and Envestnet’s acquisition of
Yodlee ($504 million, 5.1x TTM revenue).
• Megadeals aside, most buyers continued to focus on small and mid-sized acquisitions in 3Q15, 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 3Q15, matching the prior quarter’s all-time high exit
multiple. That makes six 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 perceived by an
array of public and private equity acquirers to be compelling, highly
valued targets, but their acquisition motives varied widely. Some
sought to extend their reach into entirely new markets (IBM /Merge
Healthcare); some were taken private by financial sponsors (Vista
Equity Partners/Solera Holdings); and some were consolidated by
larger technology buyers (AOL/Millennial Media).
• The median EV/EBITDA exit multiple for public on-premise software
companies rose slightly to 18.1x TTM EBITDA in the third quarter.

• On a TTM basis, 35.3% of all on-premise software targets in 3Q15
were acquired for 2.0x TTM revenue or less, and 60.3% for 3.0x or
less.

rapid market adoption and growth, including Financial Services and
Mobile.
• Helping to keep the on-premise multiple at an all time high was
Deutsche Boerse’s 3Q15 acquisition of multi products trading

Large Vs. Smaller BuyerPublic vs. Private Target
SOFTWARE M&A: BY OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND SIZE
• 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.
• The median TTM exit multiple was only marginally higher for public
on-premise software sellers (2.4x TTM revenue) than for their private
counterparts (2.2x TTM revenue).
• Over the last 12 months, public buyers paid a median 2.1x TTM
revenue for their targets, compared to a median of 2.5x paid by
private buyers.
• Buyers with revenue greater than $200 million paid a median 2.8x
TTM revenue for their targets, compared to a median 2.0x TTM
revenue paid by sub-$200 million revenue 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 3.2x
EV/Revenue exit multiple.

SOFTWARE M&A: BY VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL MARKETS
Horizontal & Vertical M&A Median EV/Revenue Exit MultiplesHorizontal & Vertical M&A Volume
• The median exit valuation of horizontal software companies was 2.1x TTM revenue in 3Q15, down slightly from the prior three quarters. Q3 small and
middle market horizontal transactions included Sun Corporation’s acquisition of industrial asset management software provider BacSoft ($13.8 million,
10.9x TTM revenue); Egton Medical’s acquisition of compliance and continuity management software provider PinBellCom ($4.7 million, 2.5x TTM
revenue) and Ericcson’s acquisition of IP video processing and distribution software provider Envivio ($90.1 million, 2.1x TTM revenue).
• The median exit valuation of vertical software companies was 2.4x TTM revenue in 3Q15, on par with recent quarters. Vertical software targets have
fetched a higher median EV/Revenue exit multiple than their horizontal software counterparts for the past five quarters. That represents a marked
turnaround for vertical software median exit valuations after a dismal 2012 and 2013 (1.5x). The vertical exit recovery began in 2014 when the median
multiple advanced to 2.2x.
• Q3’s more noteworthy vertical software deals included Vista Equity Partners’ acquisition of automotive and property sector software provider Solera
Holdings ($6.2 billion, 5.4x TTM revenue/15.0x TTM EBITDA) and IBM’s acquisition of medical software provider Merge Healthcare ($975 million, 4.3x
TTM revenue/24.7x TTM EBITDA). Smaller vertical transactions included Aptean’s acquisition of health information solutions provider Medworxx ($11.6
million, 2.2x TTM revenue) and IDOX’s acquisition of public sector software provider Cloud Amber (7.6 million, 2.1x TTM revenue).

Median SaaS EV/Revenue Exit MultiplesSaaS M&A Volume
• There were 157 SaaS M&A transactions in 3Q15, the most on record for any quarter. Since 1Q14, each quarter has set a new high for SaaS M&A transaction
activity.
• The median TTM EV/Revenue exit multiple of SaaS transactions was 3.7x in 3Q15, unchanged from the prior quarter. Following eight consective quarters
(4Q12 – 3Q14) in which the median SaaS exit multiple held above 4.0x TTM revenue, the median exit multiple has settled in around 3.7x for the past 4
quarters (dipping slightly in 1Q15). As we’ve stated in quarters past, there is typically a six to nine month lag for any fluctuation in the public markets to
have a downstream impact on the M&A markets. The softening in the median SaaS M&A multiple since 4Q14 follows are correction to public SaaS
valuations beginning in 1Q14.
• That said, a number of SaaS sellers in Q3 fetched exit multiples well above the median, including DotLoop, purchased by Zillow for $108 million (~7.2x
TTM revenue estimate); Smart Tuition, acquired by Blackbaud for $190 million (~5.9x TTM revenue); Yodlee, purchased by Envestnet for $504 million
(5.1x TTM revenue); and GT Nexus, acquired by Infor for $675 million (5.1x TTM revenue estimate).
• The median SaaS exit multiple was 48% greater than the median on-premise software exit multiple in 3Q15 (3.7x vs 2.5x).

It predicted global GDP would grow 3.5% in 2015. • The IMF’s October Update trimmed its July estimate to an annualized GDP growth rate of 3.1% 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. 5.56% 5.67% 3.04% 0.10% 5.43% 4.14% 3.37% 3.28% 3.31% 3.10% 0% 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 7% 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015* Global gross domestic product (GDP) growth (YOY) from 2006 to 2015 2.70% 1.80% -0.30% -2.80% 2.50% 1.60% 2.30% 2.20% 2.40% 2.60% -4% -3% -2% -1% 0% 1% 2% 3% 4% 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015* Annual growth of the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States from 2006 to 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 1.5% in the third quarter. • The Wall Street Journal’s survey of more than 60 leading economists now projects 2.7% growth in Q4, and 2.5% growth in the first quarter of 2016. • The Labor Department reported the unemployment rate at the end of 3Q15 was 5.1%, a noteworthy decline from 3Q14’s 5.9%, and the lowest unemployment rate since 2008. The Wall Street Journal’s survey of economists projects the unemployment rate will continue to decline, reaching 5.0% by year end, and dropping to 4.7% by year end 2016. • The labor participation rate closed 3Q15 at 62.4% 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. -5.4% -0.5% 1.3% 3.9% 1.7% 3.9% 2.7% 2.5% -1.5% 2.9% 0.8% 4.6% 2.3% 1.6% 2.5% 0.1% 2.7% 1.8% 4.5% 3.5% -2.1% 4.6% 5.0% 2.2% 0.6% 3.9% 1.5% -8.0% -6.0% -4.0% -2.0% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 12.0% 1Q09 2Q09 3Q09 4Q09 1Q10 2Q10 3Q10 4Q10 1Q11 2Q11 3Q11 4Q11 1Q12 2Q12 3Q12 4Q12 1Q13 2Q13 3Q13 4Q13 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 GDP % Growth Unemployment Rate

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 Q2, Gartner projected global IT spending would shrink -5.5% in 2015, and in Q3 revised that estimate to -4.9%, 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, “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) 6.0% -10.0% 8.0% 6.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.1% 2.5% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 (F)

However, each of the indices turned negative by the end of Q3, in large part due to a significant retreat in the month of September. • The S&P and DOW closed Q3 -8.5% and -6.7%,YTD, respectively. • The SEG Software and SaaS Indices, which had both posted positive YTD returns into late August, turned sharply negative during the month of September, closing the quarter down 2.9% and 10.2%, respectively. Investors took some comfort in the SEG Software Index, which is generally comprised of larger and profitable companies, while shifting their investment focus away from higher growth and less profitable SaaS companies. • The SEG Internet Index lagged our other two tracking indices for most of 2015, posting a -18.5% YTD return at the close of 3Q15.

SOFTWARE EQUITY GROUP | Q3 2015 SOFTWARE INDUSTRY FINANCIAL REPORT Copyright © SEG Capital Advisors, LLC, All Rights Reserved THE SEG SOFTWARE INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE • 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 (above 18%) the past five quarters. • Fewer than half of public on-premise software companies achieved EBITDA margins of 20% or better in the third quarter. • Check Point Software, a security software provider, was a standout exception, leading the pack once again in 3Q15 with an EBITDA margin of 52.9%. Check Point’s 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 (8.8% of revenue) compared to their category peers (14.5% of total revenue). • We anticipate the median EBITDA margin of public software companies will hold steady in 4Q15, in large part due by keeping R&D spending relatively flat while modestly increasing S&M spending.

THE SEG SOFTWARE INDEX: PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES • The median EV/Revenue market multiple for public on-premise software providers was 3.1x in 3Q15. • The ~3.0x median EV/Revenue multiple that’s 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 companies with revenue over $500 million expanded in the third quarter. • We believe investor enthusiasm for the largest on-premise providers will hold steady in Q4, 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.

We’ve 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 hasn’t happened – yet. • Only three product categories posted median TTM growth rates of 10% or higher in 3Q15 – Business Intelligence, Development Platforms and Vertical- Other. In comparison, each public SaaS category posted median TTM revenue growth in excess of 23%. The IT conglomerates category was the only category to post negative TTM revenue growth (-1.1%) in Q3, as these massive software companies are forced to defer significant amounts of revenue in an attempt to convert to subscription based pricing.

SOFTWARE EQUITY GROUP | Q3 2015 SOFTWARE INDUSTRY FINANCIAL REPORT Copyright © SEG Capital Advisors, LLC, All Rights Reserved THE SEG SaaS INDEX: FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE • The median TTM revenue growth rate of Public SaaS companies in 3Q15 was 25.6%, down from 28.5% in 2Q15, but up from 21.7%year over year. • Median growth rates alone do not capture the standout performances of the most successful SaaS companies. Nearly one in five 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 (121.2%); Medical Transcription Billing (126.9%); HortonWorks (109.6%); FireEye (97.4%); New Relic (73.2%); Tableau Software (71.4%); Zendesk (69.1%); and Workday (58.2%). • The median TTM revenue of public SaaS companies was $164M in 3Q15, a significant YoY increase from 3Q14’s $123.2M. 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 3Q15 TTM revenue of $6.0B, over 6x greater than the next largest public SaaS company. Still, many public SaaS companies reached critical revenue mass (>$350 million) in 3Q15, 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, $975M); AthenaHealth (Healthcare, $880.4M); RealPage (Real Estate, $434.2M); and Service-Now (IT Service Mgmt., $917.8M).

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.

However, this represents a modest decline from the 41% S&M spend in 3Q14. • After staying constant at roughly 19.7% for the past four quarters, R&D spending as a percent of revenue fell slightly in 3Q15, declining to 18.8%. Public SaaS companies in 3Q15 spent 4.3% 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 bottomed out at a -13.2% median EBITDA margin in 4Q14. Since then EBITDA margin for the group has steadily rose to -10.6% as these organizations have pulled back slightly on their investments in sales & marketing and R&D. -20% -10% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 %Margin Gross Profit Margin EBITDA Margin Net Income Margin 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 2Q15 3Q15 %ofRevenue S&M (% of Revenue) R&D (% of Revenue) G&A (% of Revenue)

SOFTWARE EQUITY GROUP | Q3 2015 SOFTWARE INDUSTRY FINANCIAL REPORT Copyright © SEG Capital Advisors, LLC, All Rights Reserved THE SEG SaaS INDEX: PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES • At the close of 3Q15, the median market multiple of public SaaS companies was 5.8x EV/Revenue, down 11% YoY, but up modestly from last quarter’s median multiple of 5.0x. • Yet investors were goggle-eyed about the prospects of a good number of public SaaS providers. One-quarter of the companies in the SEG SaaS Index achieved a median EV/Revenue multiple of 9x or higher in 3Q15, and public SaaS companies continued to trade at a significant premium to their on- premise peers (5.8x vs. 3.1x median EV/Revenue). Although public SaaS companies have historically enjoyed trading multiples about double their on- premise peers, the differential is shrinking. 3Q15’s premium of 87% was much lower than 3Q14’s 110% 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.

Public SaaS companies that grew TTM revenue in excess of 50% were anointed with the highest median EV/Revenue multiple of 11.1x in 3Q15, compared to a median market multiple of 11.9x 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 Q3, 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. The older view, however, prevailed for those SaaS companies deemed to be too profitable (30%+), which investors saw as unacceptable tradeoff against accelerated growth.

More than 57% of public Internet companies closed Q3 with an EV/Revenue multiple of 2.0x or less. • We believe Q3’s depressed Internet market multiple reflected continuing investor caution about a sustained economic recovery and its concomitant impact on consumer spending. Approximately 60% of public Internet companies are consumer focused (Travel, Games, Retail, Advertising, etc). Until wages improve and consumer confidence is restored, it’s likely Internet providers will continue to lag well behind their SaaS and on-premise peers in market multiples. • That said, investors in Q3 continued to richly reward the most rapidly growing and most promising Internet providers, especially those that generated significant revenue from online advertising and ecommerce. One in ten closed the quarter with a market multiple of 7.0x EV/Revenue or higher, including Wowo Limited (21.3x EV/Rev), Facebook (16.9x) , 58.com (14.7x EV/Rev) and RenRen (12.4x).

Public Internet companies with TTM revenue growth of 30% or higher had a median EV/Revenue multiple of 6.0x in Q3, compared to less than 2.0x for their slower growing (<20%) peers. The outperformers included LinkedIn (38.7%, 9.2x EV/Revenue); Twitter (70.3%, 8.6x EV/Revenue); 58.com (99.7%, 14.7x EV/Revenue); and Facebook (46.2%, 16.9x 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 3Q15, approximately 300% 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 5.0x in Q3, 16% 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.

The third quarter tally will likely increase by approximately 15 – 20 transactions as unpublicized deals are added. The third quarter also marks the fourth consecutive quarter in which transaction volume has eclipsed 500 deals, a sign of the continued bull market in software M&A. • Software M&A spending in 3Q15 totaled $28.1 billion, down from Q2 2015’s $37 billion aggregate price tag, which included twelve mega deals (EV>500M), four with price tags exceeding $2 billion.

Some sought to extend their reach into entirely new markets (IBM /Merge Healthcare); some were taken private by financial sponsors (Vista Equity Partners/Solera Holdings); and some were consolidated by larger technology buyers (AOL/Millennial Media). • The median EV/EBITDA exit multiple for public on-premise software companies rose slightly to 18.1x TTM EBITDA in the third quarter.
