Financial Technology Sector Overview of Market Activity in the Financial Technology Sector William Blair & Company Quarterly Update Q1 2015 Financial Technology Sector Overview of Market Activity in the Financial Technology Sector William Blair & Company Financial Technology Sector – First Quarter 2015 Update M&A and capital markets activity remained strong during the first quarter of 2015, particularly in the United States. In fact, U.S. stock indices marked all-time highs during the quarter and deal-making activity continued its upward trajectory, propelled by improving confidence among consumers and corporate executives, low-cost credit, and record levels of cash. While market participants largely ignored the prospect of rising interest rates, a collapsing energy sector, global currency concerns, and continued economic uncertainty abroad, this could be an area of concern moving into the second quarter of 2015. One of the most prominent storylines within the financial technology sector in the first quarter was the escalating bets made on payments solutions by the likes of tech giants Apple, Google, and Samsung. The release of Apple Pay unilaterally raised the stakes across the industry and was a catalyst for a wave of high-profile announcements, including Samsung’s acquisition of LoopPay, Google’s acquisition of Softcard, and PayPal’s acquisition of Paydiant. Traditional payments providers are thus being further pressured to accelerate innovation and expand international reach, which has in turn refocused corporate strategies away from building domestic scale and vertical plays toward acquiring differentiated, earlier-stage, technology platforms with global capabilities. Global’s acquisition of Realex, Worldpay’s acquisition of SecureNet, and MasterCard’s acquisition of TNS’s gateway are recent examples of this trend, which we believe will be a significant driver of sector M&A activity going forward. Across the broader financial technology industry, we continue to see M&A outcomes falling into a barbell formation, with widespread demand, condensed buyer due diligence, and aggressive valuations for high-quality assets, while other assets receive more limited interest. As competitive dynamics rise and opportunities for quality and size become scarcer, we expect to see a heightened interest in trades that are unlikely to have materialized in prior years. Likewise, the mega-deals that have recently resurfaced in other sectors of the economy have yet to return to financial technology, but current competitive and market conditions are highly favorable and we believe it is only a matter of time before there is a major industry-altering transaction within the financial technology sector as well. In terms of capital markets momentum, publicly listed financial technology companies as a group continue to trade near all-time highs. Sector-wide technological innovation remains a key driver of growth and favorable secular trends in global electronic payments are as strong as ever. For financial technology companies looking to raise capital, prospects remain extremely attractive. Demand for sector investments continues to explode across the public, venture and private equity communities, particularly within the emerging high-growth areas of mobile payments, personal wealth management, and online/marketplace lenders. William Blair has one of the most active financial technology investment banking franchises in the industry, and we remain highly optimistic on the sector overall. As always, we appreciate your interest in our practice, and please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do to be helpful.
