The Group provides software and IT services to enterprises with turnovers between £5m and £250m. This is a substantial market and the Directors believe that Sanderson maintains a strong market position due to the quality of its products and services and its successful track record. Sanderson is well positioned to take advantage of the growth in IT spend within its target markets which independent research indicates is being stimulated by demand for improved productivity. This research forecasts growth in expenditure on enterprise applications of approximately 5 per cent. per annum for the next three years. The Group has a strong revenue model, with more than 50 per cent. of turnover arising from recurring licence, support and maintenance contracts. A further 40 per cent. of turnover is derived from the existing customer base, with the balance represented by revenue from new customers. The Directors believe that the Group’s industry knowledge, proven revenue model, track record and acquisition experience provide a good position from which to acquire complementary businesses to strengthen its position as a leading supplier of software and IT services in its chosen markets. The Sanderson business was founded in 1983 and grew organically and by acquisition to over £119m turnover. In December 2003 the Former Sanderson Group was demerged into three separate, independent entities, with the Company retaining the Sanderson name and brand. The Directors believe that the Sanderson name is widely recognised as an established provider of software and IT services. The Business The Group provides software products and consultancy services. Software products The Group’s packaged software products are designed to meet all the operational needs of a broad range of businesses. Products cover functions common to all customers from sales and marketing through finance, human resources, purchasing, production, supply and distribution whilst also addressing specific requirements such as ingredient handling and call centre operations. As a result of the comprehensive design of its products and the typical size of its customers, the Group is usually the principal business software supplier to its customers. Where required, the Group also supplies technology products to support its software. Sanderson continuously works with its customers to develop products and services to meet either their specific requirements or to reflect functional or technological advances. Wherever possible Sanderson seeks to ensure that these developments can be introduced within existing platforms and environments, thereby safeguarding customers’ existing IT investment. This is a key benefit for both new and existing customers and helps to maintain customer loyalty. Sanderson has many customers who have used the Group’s software products for over ten years. All development is carried out in the UK by Sanderson employees. In the year ended 30 September 2004, Sanderson spent approximately £1.5 million on product development, and customers contributed to this through annual license fees and funding of specific projects. The Group’s strategic product is UNITY, a software suite released in 2003.

  • Preqin Special Report: the Private Debt Top 100
    PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE DEBT TOP 100 ■ The 100 Largest Fund Managers ■ The 100 Largest Institutional Investors AUGUST 2018 PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE DEBT TOP 100 FOREWORD s reported in the 2018 Preqin Global Private Debt Report, the private debt asset class in 2017 was characterized by a trend Atowards greater capital concentration: 17% fewer funds reached a final close than in 2016, while a record $107bn was secured among fund managers. Average fund size increased to $869mn, a leap of $171mn from the previous year. Capital remains concentrated among the top GPs, as the 10 largest funds closed in 2017 secured over a third of total capital raised in the year. Institutional investor appetite for the private debt asset class is strong, with 98% of investors surveyed by Preqin at the end of 2017 planning to increase or maintain their private debt allocations in the long term. The 100 largest private debt LPs have a combined $172bn invested in the asset class, which represents nearly a quarter (22%) of all capital invested in the space. The top LPs are the main drivers behind the growth in prominence of the largest fund managers, as they require GPs to be of sufficient scale to accept and deploy increasingly large commitments. With the objective of providing greater insight into who the most influential players are, Preqin is pleased to provide a comprehensive ranking for the first time of the top 100 GPs and LPs within the private debt asset class, taken from our platform. For the purpose of this report, the GP rankings have been compiled based on the total value of private debt funds raised by each GP in the past 10 years – this includes any capital raised by owned subsidiaries.

  • Initial Returns and Long-Run Performance of Private Equity-Backed Ipos in the UK: the Post-Y2K Experience
    Stockholm School of Economics Master Thesis in Finance Spring 2015 Initial Returns and Long-Run Performance of Private Equity-backed IPOs in the UK: The Post-Y2K Experience Tom Lange҉ Pascal Rietmannᵠ Abstract This paper studies a sample of 257 initial public offerings (IPO) that occurred in the period from 2001 to 2011, differentiated into sub-samples of 32 venture capital-backed (VC), 55 buyout-backed (BO), and 170 non-backed (NB) share issuances undertaken on the London Stock Exchange’s (LSE) Main Market and Alternative Investment Market. We separately analyze initial first-day returns, commonly referred to as underpricing, as well as long-run after-market performance using an event study setting with a horizon of 36 months. Our research identifies significant levels of underpricing in UK IPOs. Underpricing varies considerably between different IPO cycles. Moreover, periods of increased IPO activity, so called ‘hot-issue’ markets, exhibit higher levels of underpricing. Evidence suggests pronounced differences in long-run stock price performance between the three IPO sub-groups independent of the benchmark used to adjust returns. Underlying the analysis is an in-depth case-by- case IPO type separation, in turn based on the collection of extensive data on private equity (PE) portfolio companies’ key firm and offering characteristics. As related literature has as of yet only rarely carried out sample selection with comparable elaborateness, we highlight the importance of the distinction between VC- and BO-backing and its implications for post-IPO performance analysis. Keywords: Initial Public Offering, Private Equity, Venture Capital, Underpricing, After-Market Performance Tutor: Michael Halling Acknowledgements: We would like to thank our tutor, Professor Michael Halling, for his guidance and valuable contributions during the process of writing this thesis.
