their initial ranges, but performance post-IPO was mixed Q1’15 marked a sluggish start for the year at 1% and 3.5% growth for the SaaS & Cloud 130 and NASDAQ, respectively An anticipated hike in the Federal Funds Rate and concerns around Greece have tempered investor outlook Median LTM Revenue multiple softened to 4.6x, but still represents a healthy multiple Within SaaS & Cloud, median multiples

Median EBITDA grew 9.9% with 14.5% 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 remained constant for the past five years and currently stand at 67.4% 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

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION MAY 2013 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION MAY 2013 REPORT Every Moment is Mobile—MMA Returns to Cannes Lions Over the past few years, mobile marketing has transformed into one of the most creative canvases for marketers to connect with consumers. There is no other platform that is as personal, as pervasive, and provides the opportunity for proximity to connect with consumers in the right place and time. And since mobile delivers on the promise of intimacy and immediacy, every moment is mobile and has the potential to move marketers closer to consumers than ever before. To celebrate mobile and the evolution of media, the global marketer and agency community unite at one event—the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Cannes Lions offers a stage to recognize the growth of mobile, among other media channels, and set new benchmarks based on the campaigns that raise the bar. For years, mobile creativity was thought to be an oxymoron. But as people rely on their mobile devices to start and end their day, innovation has been unleashed in the palm of a consumer’s hand. That is why it is vital to have festivals, such as Cannes Lions, to identify the best and brightest in mobile as the platform continues to evolve. The MMA is once again returning as an official sponsor of Cannes Lions with the objective of educating and inspiring the leaders of today (and tomorrow) to invest more in mobile. From supporting the Young Marketers Academy, CMO Accelerator, Mobile Day Forum and even erecting the Mobile Smart Big Top, the MMA is committed to providing a Cannes Lions curriculum that demonstrates the power and potential of mobile marketing.

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION JUNE 2013 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION JUNE 2013 REPORT Lessons Learned from Cannes Lions 2013 Every Moment is Mobile. That was the Mobile Marketing Association’s tagline for the 2013 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the premier global gathering for the entire marketing ecosystem. Prior to heading to Cannes, the industry was abuzz about mobile and its importance at the festival. Mobile may not be the biggest screen for storytelling. But the biggest creative revolution of our times is happening on the smallest screen. Some of the key takeaways that the MMA noted from the 2013 Cannes Lions festival include: Every Moment is Mobile: Cannes Lions was the official launch pad for the MMA’s positioning on mobile, “nothing gets marketers closer to their consumers than mobile.” http://www.clickz.com/ clickz/news/2278062/cannes-2013-video-mma-mondelez-every-moment-is-mobile Young Marketers Believe Mobile is the Future: To educate the rising-stars of the global marketing community, Jim Stengel alongside the MMA provided a weeklong curriculum to 50+ young marketers. What we learned is that the next generation of marketing leaders have already embraced mobile as the future of media. Their obstacle is getting mid-senior level executives to allocate additional resources and investment to mobile innovation. CMO’s are Eager to Understand Mobile Strategy: The MMA addressed the CMO Accelerator, which invited 25 leaders from around the global to discuss challenges and opportunities across the communications landscape.

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION JULY 2013 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION JULY 2013 REPORT A Glimpse into the 2013 MMA CEO & CMO Summit Park City, Utah was the backdrop for this year’s MMA CEO and CMO Summit. With 200 of the brightest and most influential leaders across the marketing and media space attending, it was truly a meeting of the mobile masters. At last year’s Summit, we learned that marketers were still asking “why” when it came to mobile. Fast forward to 2013, the conversation advanced considerably on how to bolster mobile marketing efforts. A focus of the overall conference was how to bridge the knowing vs. doing gap. Brands know that mobile is a strategic investment but ramping up mobile ad spend, the doing, is still a challenge. We had marketers, agency executives and technology enablers review new trends and innovation in the mobile space, as well as discuss how to grow the mobile marketing industry rapidly but responsibly. There was an honest conversation about the successes and challenges within the mobile space. While many marketers are still figuring out the ingredients of a successful mobile strategy, other brands are trailblazing with best-in-class campaigns that are mobile first. The Summit even provided a forum to discuss privacy and the recent release of the DAA Mobile Principles. After two and half days of intimate conversations and meaningful dialogue, it is clear that mobile has evolved into a leading marketing vehicle and marketers are taking its power seriously.
