Executive Summary
•  This project considers why Accenture (NYSE:ACN) is a valuable global brand from an investors point of view
•  ACN is a global provider of consulting, technology and outsourcing services with operations in the Americas (47%),
EMEA (40%) and APAC (13%)
•  ACN has experienced positive revenue growth in past years and is forecasted to continue this trend annually, due to
the following business initiatives:
–  Outsourcing business witnessing higher growth in contrast to declines in its consulting arm
–  SMAC stack (social media, big data analytics, cloud)
•  Pressure for financial institutions to automate services
–  Acquisitions (increasing domain knowledge)
–  Revenue increases alongside alliances (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft)
–  Trend in cost saving initiatives have increased demand for ACN outsourcing services
•  Healthcare shifting into IT outsourcing
•  ACN has shown it is still very profitable even under adverse economic conditions/within a very competitive
environment:
–  Strong US dollar, reducing ACN revenue (high translation risk for their international business).
–  Trouble in Europe, reducing demand for their consulting businesses
•  Based on our forecasts for (FY2015-19), applying discounted cash flow and comparable trading multiples
analyses of ACN’s closest competitors (IBM, Cognizant, HP, Infosys) we conclude the following:
–  ACN’s $60 billion market valuation price tag is supported by its breadth of experience across industry
segments and diversified geographic footprint
–  Based on assumed 9.7% WACC and 3% terminal growth, our intrinsic value for ACN shares is $76.1 as
compared to the $89.9 stock market price as at 12 January 2015

COMPANY
CONSIDERATIONS
Key Company Considerations
•  Accenture’s revenues are driven by
–  macroeconomic conditions
–  business confidence
–  economic and geopolitical uncertainty
–  lower levels of spending
•  Growth experienced year over year in:
–  Communications, Media & technology (2.7%)
–  Products (4.4%)
–  Health and public services (10.5%)
–  Financial services (5.8%)
•  Flat growth experienced year-on-year in:
–  Resources (3.1%)
Key Company Considerations
•  Revenue growth was strong in Outsourcing and modest in
consulting.
–  Clients want more outsourcing services with an emphasis on cost savings
initiatives
•  A weak USD is favourable for Accenture and a strong US dollar is
considered unfavourable – exposure to high translation risk for
international business
•  During fourth quarter fiscal year 2014 - US dollar weakened
against other currency which was favourable for Accenture’s P&L.

Valuation Commentary (1)
•  Key financial assumptions used in discounted cash flow analysis:
–  WACC=9.7%
–  Terminal growth rate= 3.0%
–  Tax rate= 26%
Valuation drivers by division:
•  Communications, media & technology:
–  expect an increase in CAGR growth through to 2019. ACN have using the SMAC stack ($200bn market). RBC expects it to
grow with a CAGR of 15% through to 2017.
•  Resources:
–  decrease in CAGR. IT spending in this industry, only expected to increase from $332bn to $369bn (2013 to 2017).
•  Financial services:
–  expecting an increase in CAGR, IT outsourcing is increasing, pressure for financial institutions to automate services
•  Health & public services:
–  major CAGR increase promoted by RBC for 2015 by 10.5%. Healthcare institutions are moving into IT outsourcing, CAGR will
lower eventually after initial peak.
•  Products:
–  uncertainty in the global economy caused revenue pressures/rising costs (triggered more outsourcing) resulting in a slight
increase in CAGR.
•  Decrease in CAGR growth from the Americas:
–  trend in the stronger US dollar adversely affect revenues for ACN
–  Troubles in Europe have caused the consulting business to suffer
•  CAGR growth for consulting reduced:
–  consulting has troughed, however may pick up with the economy
–  Outsourcing has increased, due to the trend in companies wanting
cost savings initiatives from ACN

  • 3. Executive Summary •  This project considers why Accenture (NYSE:ACN) is a valuable global brand from an investors point of view •  ACN is a global provider of consulting, technology and outsourcing services with operations in the Americas (47%), EMEA (40%) and APAC (13%) •  ACN has experienced positive revenue growth in past years and is forecasted to continue this trend annually, due to the following business initiatives: –  Outsourcing business witnessing higher growth in contrast to declines in its consulting arm –  SMAC stack (social media, big data analytics, cloud) •  Pressure for financial institutions to automate services –  Acquisitions (increasing domain knowledge) –  Revenue increases alongside alliances (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft) –  Trend in cost saving initiatives have increased demand for ACN outsourcing services •  Healthcare shifting into IT outsourcing •  ACN has shown it is still very profitable even under adverse economic conditions/within a very competitive environment: –  Strong US dollar, reducing ACN revenue (high translation risk for their international business). –  Trouble in Europe, reducing demand for their consulting businesses •  Based on our forecasts for (FY2015-19), applying discounted cash flow and comparable trading multiples analyses of ACN’s closest competitors (IBM, Cognizant, HP, Infosys) we conclude the following: –  ACN’s $60 billion market valuation price tag is supported by its breadth of experience across industry segments and diversified geographic footprint –  Based on assumed 9.7% WACC and 3% terminal growth, our intrinsic value for ACN shares is $76.1 as compared to the $89.9 stock market price as at 12 January 2015

  • 21. Valuation Commentary (1) •  Key financial assumptions used in discounted cash flow analysis: –  WACC=9.7% –  Terminal growth rate= 3.0% –  Tax rate= 26% Valuation drivers by division: •  Communications, media & technology: –  expect an increase in CAGR growth through to 2019. ACN have using the SMAC stack ($200bn market). RBC expects it to grow with a CAGR of 15% through to 2017. •  Resources: –  decrease in CAGR. IT spending in this industry, only expected to increase from $332bn to $369bn (2013 to 2017). •  Financial services: –  expecting an increase in CAGR, IT outsourcing is increasing, pressure for financial institutions to automate services •  Health & public services: –  major CAGR increase promoted by RBC for 2015 by 10.5%. Healthcare institutions are moving into IT outsourcing, CAGR will lower eventually after initial peak. •  Products: –  uncertainty in the global economy caused revenue pressures/rising costs (triggered more outsourcing) resulting in a slight increase in CAGR.
  • 22. •  Decrease in CAGR growth from the Americas: –  trend in the stronger US dollar adversely affect revenues for ACN –  Troubles in Europe have caused the consulting business to suffer •  CAGR growth for consulting reduced: –  consulting has troughed, however may pick up with the economy –  Outsourcing has increased, due to the trend in companies wanting cost savings initiatives from ACN Valuation Commentary (2)
