Takeaways Banking Advisors – Public Company Metrics 5 IPOs were added to the SaaS & Cloud 135 IPOs this quarter had subpar performance Q2’15 stock performance was flat with 3.4% and 1.8% growth for SaaS & Cloud 135 and NASDAQ respectively An anticipated hike in the Federal Funds Rate and concerns around the Chinese economy have tempered investor sentiment Median LTM Revenue Multiple softened to 4.5x, but still represents a healthy multiple Within SaaS & Cloud, median multiples vary considerably between segments ranging from 1.9x to 7.3x in Q2’15 Median LTM EBITDA multiple improved to 19.7x The top 3 segments have posted 30.0x+ EBITDA multiples for the past several quarters Median LTM P/E multiples grew to 32.0x Public markets demonstrate a strong preference for companies growing quickly and investing to solidify market leadership status, confident that future profits will come with scale SaaS & Cloud 135 posted median revenue growth of 20.4% in LTM Revenue growth is expected to slow to 17.5% for the next twelve months SaaS & Cloud 135 posted median EBITDA growth of 12.7% for LTM, and 15.4% EBITDA growth is expected for NTM EBITDA growth drop from 2011 may be attributed to increased OpEx for prioritizing growth over profitability Median gross margins have stayed constant for the past five years and currently stand at 67.5% Cloud & IT Infrastructure and Content Creation & Management top the list at over 80% as newly emerging technologies that enable the cloud to run more efficiently command strong margins Median EBITDA margins consistently decreased from 2011 as companies reinvested to fuel growth but it appears increased scale and/or focus on profitability may be reversing the trend Capstone Partners CapstoneInvestment BankingPartners Advisors Over a Decade
