CEE Software Development M&A in 2019: Executive Summary
2
Growth 4-5x faster than globally
Consistently high M&A activity in
2018 and 2019
Leaders` M&A à IPO / exit play
• CEE outsourcing grows much faster than global average: 20-25%* y-o-y vs 5% globally*
• Peak number of M&A / investments in CEE in 2018-19, with 24 deals announced in 2019 and 31 in 2018
• Key valuation principle in most deals: single digit EBITDA multiple for <$50M revenue companies and
double-digit EBITDA multiple for $50-100M+ revenue companies or those with strong vertical focus and
high gross margin profile**
• 5+ well-funded CEE players with revenue of $100M or more continued to expand through M&A with
the goal of an IPO / exit play
• Most recent IPO is Grid Dynamics in 2019 at ~x12 EBITDA
“Seller`s” M&A market in Ukraine • Limited number of companies put for sale with more demand to acquire than interest to sell
until 1Q 2020
Before COVID-19 epidemic expanded globally in 1Q 2020, the industry has been performing strongly
Note: growth rate estimated by AVentures Capital. Based on the financials of a set of market players who disclosed their
results directly to AVentures Capital
Covid-19 full impact on the performance in 2020 remains unknown while the industry
sees the first signs of slowed growth and decline in other metrics
3
Likely growth slowdown
Cost rationale to remain strong
Slowdown in M&A activity in
2020
Usual productivity amid remote
conditions
• As of late March 2020, many companies report less leads, new clients, and more positions cancelations.
The industry, however, is likely to continue growth but at slower than usual (20-25%) pace within CEE
• Proven by previous recessions, IT outsourcing space could recover fast during this crisis due to strong
cost cutting rationale the offshore industry offers to its global clients
• Both financial and strategic investors are likely to postpone any M&A activity until more certain times. For
well-funded players, however, the crisis presents an opportunity to buy assets likely at lower multiples
• As most IT service companies are used to managing work remotely, there is likely to be minimal impact on
the productivity under the quarantine lockdown
Temporary wages decrease • As clients ask for bill reduction, the wages for IT workers can freeze or decrease, at least temporarily
Vector for optimization
• Companies have started cutting costs to get into leaner shape, operational and financial. The jobs of
marketing, recruiting, and sales professionals as well as those on a bench will be first to get cut
Decline of growth focused R&D
activities for global clients
• Global clients, leveraging CEE R&D capability for growth, delay expansion and innovation plans, which
results in less inflow of new clients or scale-down and freeze of some of the existing contracts

Covid-19 impact on public CEE companies
EPAM Systems (NYSE:EPAM), 2019 - 2020 Endava (NYSE:DAVA), 2019 - 2020 Grid Dynamics (Nasdaq:GDYN), 2019 - 2020
Amid Covid-19 outbreak, the stock of public companies is down significantly starting with March 2020. The public companies are likely to
miss quarterly and yearly earnings targets
Superior growth and high profitability attracted interest
from both large international and local financial investors

What most of large acquirers
seek for…
6
1
Mid-market and/or enterprise clients
Above the market average 30+% y-o-y
consistent revenue growth
Company’s ability to retain and win new
large contracts, so most of the revenue
is recurring
High EBITDA (over 15%) and Gross
margin (over 40%)
Founders’ willingness to stay for 2-4
years post acquisition
Other strategic rationales might play a role depending
on an acquirer: type of delivery, technology
specialization or broad stack etc.

6 Distinguished employee culture resulting in solid
talent retention
Vertical capabilities
• Acquisition of new verticals or deepening of existing capabilities
Deal example: Luxoft – IntroPro, 2017 (Media and Entertainment vertical)
Delivery diversification
• New delivery geographies to diversify market / political risks
• Delivery in new countries/regions enables to tap into talent pool
Deal example: Endava – Velocity Partners, 2018 (delivery centers in
Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela)
Client acquisition
• Acquisition of new clients or enhancement of current client profile
• Small players can be attractive depending on their client profile
Deal example: GlobalLogic – Rofous Software, 2011 (e.g. LinkedIn, Stryker)
Scale
• Enables companies to bid for larger projects
Deal example: Helmes – Solbegsoft, 2018
We expect established players to continue
consolidating a fragmented market
Technical / language capabilities
• Enhancement of tech teams is faster via M&A than
through organic growth
Deal example: Smile – Adyax, 2018
And key strategic rationales
driving M&A roll-on strategy

Inorganic growth is a way for established players to
expand capabilities, client portfolios and scale

2015 2016 2017 2018 2019
Result: consistently high M&A activity in
the region in 2018 and 2019
Industry leaders expand through M&A,
pursuing IPO / exit play
5+ well-funded CEE players with revenue from $50M
up to $100M+ are expanding through M&A with the
aim of IPO / exit play
Our insights into recent deals demonstrate that implied
EV / Revenue lies in 1.0x-2.0x range and EV / EBITDA
in 7.0x-14.0x range

CEE Software Development M&A Report 2019

  • 1. CEE software development: M&A report 2019 April 2020
  • 2. * Growth rate estimated by AVentures Capital based on the financials of a set of market players who disclosed their results directly to AVentures Capita ** For other factors influencing valuation see slide #6 CEE Software Development M&A in 2019: Executive Summary 2 Growth 4-5x faster than globally Consistently high M&A activity in 2018 and 2019 Leaders` M&A à IPO / exit play • CEE outsourcing grows much faster than global average: 20-25%* y-o-y vs 5% globally* • Peak number of M&A / investments in CEE in 2018-19, with 24 deals announced in 2019 and 31 in 2018 • Key valuation principle in most deals: single digit EBITDA multiple for <$50M revenue companies and double-digit EBITDA multiple for $50-100M+ revenue companies or those with strong vertical focus and high gross margin profile** • 5+ well-funded CEE players with revenue of $100M or more continued to expand through M&A with the goal of an IPO / exit play • Most recent IPO is Grid Dynamics in 2019 at ~x12 EBITDA “Seller`s” M&A market in Ukraine • Limited number of companies put for sale with more demand to acquire than interest to sell until 1Q 2020 Before COVID-19 epidemic expanded globally in 1Q 2020, the industry has been performing strongly
  • 3. Note: growth rate estimated by AVentures Capital. Based on the financials of a set of market players who disclosed their results directly to AVentures Capital Covid-19 full impact on the performance in 2020 remains unknown while the industry sees the first signs of slowed growth and decline in other metrics 3 Likely growth slowdown Cost rationale to remain strong Slowdown in M&A activity in 2020 Usual productivity amid remote conditions • As of late March 2020, many companies report less leads, new clients, and more positions cancelations. The industry, however, is likely to continue growth but at slower than usual (20-25%) pace within CEE • Proven by previous recessions, IT outsourcing space could recover fast during this crisis due to strong cost cutting rationale the offshore industry offers to its global clients • Both financial and strategic investors are likely to postpone any M&A activity until more certain times. For well-funded players, however, the crisis presents an opportunity to buy assets likely at lower multiples • As most IT service companies are used to managing work remotely, there is likely to be minimal impact on the productivity under the quarantine lockdown Temporary wages decrease • As clients ask for bill reduction, the wages for IT workers can freeze or decrease, at least temporarily Vector for optimization • Companies have started cutting costs to get into leaner shape, operational and financial. The jobs of marketing, recruiting, and sales professionals as well as those on a bench will be first to get cut Decline of growth focused R&D activities for global clients • Global clients, leveraging CEE R&D capability for growth, delay expansion and innovation plans, which results in less inflow of new clients or scale-down and freeze of some of the existing contracts
  • 4. Note: Data as of April 10, 2020. Source: Yahoo Finance Covid-19 impact on public CEE companies EPAM Systems (NYSE:EPAM), 2019 - 2020 Endava (NYSE:DAVA), 2019 - 2020 Grid Dynamics (Nasdaq:GDYN), 2019 - 2020 Amid Covid-19 outbreak, the stock of public companies is down significantly starting with March 2020. The public companies are likely to miss quarterly and yearly earnings targets
  • 5. Superior growth and high profitability attracted interest from both large international and local financial investors Consistent growth of outsourcing globally Faster-than-market-average growth of outsourcing in CEE Attractive growth and financial performance of CEE outsourcing leaders + + High global demand for development capabilities to deliver increasingly complex and short time-to-market projects Projected CAGR: 5% 25% YOY CEE outsourcing market growth in 2018 - 2019 by our estimations 2015-19 revenue CAGR, % 2019 EBITDA margin, % Source: AVentures CapitalSource: Gartner CEE Source: public data Restoftheworld Financial investors: capitalizing on superior growth and profitability 5 15,2% 12,6% 5,2% EPAM Luxoft Endava 20% 20% 30% EPAM Luxoft Endava 13% 10% 10% Altran Alten Devoteam 11% 11% 9% Altran Alten Devoteam
  • 6. What most of large acquirers seek for… 6 1 Mid-market and/or enterprise clients Above the market average 30+% y-o-y consistent revenue growth Company’s ability to retain and win new large contracts, so most of the revenue is recurring High EBITDA (over 15%) and Gross margin (over 40%) Founders’ willingness to stay for 2-4 years post acquisition Other strategic rationales might play a role depending on an acquirer: type of delivery, technology specialization or broad stack etc. 2 3 4 5 7 6 Distinguished employee culture resulting in solid talent retention
  • 7. Vertical capabilities • Acquisition of new verticals or deepening of existing capabilities Deal example: Luxoft – IntroPro, 2017 (Media and Entertainment vertical) Delivery diversification • New delivery geographies to diversify market / political risks • Delivery in new countries/regions enables to tap into talent pool Deal example: Endava – Velocity Partners, 2018 (delivery centers in Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela) Client acquisition • Acquisition of new clients or enhancement of current client profile • Small players can be attractive depending on their client profile Deal example: GlobalLogic – Rofous Software, 2011 (e.g. LinkedIn, Stryker) Scale • Enables companies to bid for larger projects Deal example: Helmes – Solbegsoft, 2018 We expect established players to continue consolidating a fragmented market Technical / language capabilities • Enhancement of tech teams is faster via M&A than through organic growth Deal example: Smile – Adyax, 2018 And key strategic rationales driving M&A roll-on strategy 7 Inorganic growth is a way for established players to expand capabilities, client portfolios and scale
  • 8. Selected PE funds active in the region Selected strategic players active in acquisitions Count of M&A deals announced in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Romania in 2015-19 Source: AVentures Capital 8 • Attractiveness of the software development outsourcing industry persists • 2018 and 2019 had the highest number of M&A/cash out deals during the last decade 5 19 22 31 24 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Result: consistently high M&A activity in the region in 2018 and 2019
  • 9. Industry leaders expand through M&A, pursuing IPO / exit play 5+ well-funded CEE players with revenue from $50M up to $100M+ are expanding through M&A with the aim of IPO / exit play Our insights into recent deals demonstrate that implied EV / Revenue lies in 1.0x-2.0x range and EV / EBITDA in 7.0x-14.0x range Germany Argentine Merged from: Krakow Note: “Ukraine / Belarus” or “Lviv” – main delivery locations Belarus / Russia Russia / Ukraine / Poland / Argentine Lviv Ukraine / Belarus / Poland / Spain Russia / Ukraine / Central Europe Russia / Ukraine / Poland Lviv 9 Germany Examples Selected larger players raised minority investments or exited at more than x2 revenue valuation, or over x10- 15 EV/EBITDA multiple. Examples include Grid Dynamics IPO, Astound Commerce and OSF from Salesforce Ventures, Star from NTT Data and Softvision exit to Cognizant
