Financial Technology MARKET UPDATE August 2017 Financial Technology MARKET UPDATE M&AMARLIN & ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT BANKING AND STRATEGIC ADVISORY TO THE FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION SERVICES INDUSTRIES New York Washington, D.C. Toronto Financial Technology Financial www.MarlinLLC.com © Marlin & Associates Holdings LLC, All Right Reserved DEAR CLIENTS AND FRIENDS, B2B Fintech Is Alive and Well – And Growing: Our August 2017 Fintech Market Update Dear Clients and Friends, The market is up, the market is down, and it doesn’t seem to matter right now; interest in the Fintech sector keeps marching on. Our report found below highlights some of the m&a trends and transactions in the seven segments of the Fintech world that we follow, and sometimes lead, and so far, it's all still pointing up. A recent report by KPMG indicated that in Q2 the global Fintech industry saw $8.4bn in transaction value as a result of around 290 deals - up from around 260 deals in Q1. We note that investments into, and purchase of, b2b Fintech firms are particularly in vogue. The $3.6bn buyout of Canada’s D+H by Vista Equity was not only the biggest deal of the quarter, it was also a reminder that Fintech is about a lot more than just payments and lending. The D+H deal notwithstanding, it is smaller deals where most of the action is – most Fintech transactions are well under $200mn. And while a few Asian firms continue to draw very high values, the cumulative value of Fintech deals in Europe doubled compared to the prior quarter to around $2bn. The sources of capital are many, including traditional VCs and PE firms. But it is interesting to note that about $2.5bn of Q2 investment came from corporates - as the disrupted continue to push back - buying or investing in those who would be the disruptors. For some, the focus is on buying or investing in companies that help improve the efficiency of back-office functions along with those that provide reg tech, insurance tech, capital markets tech, exchanges, enterprise data, analytics, cloud-based services and AI. (See our take on the AI phenomenon here.) All this is not to say that consumer-based Fintech is out of favor. There are still a bunch of Fintech Unicorns out there: Lending Club, Square, Credit Karma, SoFi, Kabbage, Funding Circle, Gusto (Zenpayroll), Klarna, Avant Credit, Prosper Transferwise, Mozido and more. 26 of them by some counts – more than half of which are in China. But with regulators weighing tougher rules on consumer-oriented firms, Powa going bust, Zenefits seeing a big drop in market cap, and some of the largest consumer based Fintech companies cutting back growth estimates – and in some cases, jobs - there does seem to be some increased interest in looking to b2b Fintech companies. You can see more about the trends and deals in Fintech m&a in the report found below. As you will see, values and volume in all seven sectors of the Fintech world that we follow – and sometimes lead, remain strong. Please see the most notable deals below: • Vantiv (NYSE:VNTV) agreed on terms to acquire Worldpay • Red Ventures (Fort Mill, SC) agreed to acquire Bankrate (LSE:WPG) for $9.8bn, implying an enterprise value of $11.5bn (NYSE:RATE) for $1.3bn, implying an enterprise value of $1.4bn and and valuing the company at an implied 7.9x 2016 net revenue valuing the company at an implied 3.1x LTM revenue and 15x LTM and 21.1x 2016 EBITDA, EBITDA, • Blackstone (NYSE:BX) and CVC Capital Partners offered to acquire • Betterment (New York, NY) raised $70mm in a round of funding led Paysafe (LSE:PAYS) for £2.9bn (~$3.7bn), implying an enterprise by existing investor Kinnevik, and including other existing investors value of $4.0bn and valuing the company at an implied 4.1x LTM Bessemer Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, and Francisco Partners, revenue and 15.9x LTM EBITDA, • Ingenico Group (ENXTPA:ING) agreed to acquire Bambora for €1.5bn (~$1.7bn), valuing the company at an implied 7.4x 2016 revenue, Also, please standby for some interesting changes to our newsletters and emails over the coming weeks.

  • Protecting Pennsylvania's Investments
    September 30, 2012 Annual Report of Activities Pursuant to Act 44 of 2010 September 30, 2012 September 30, 2012 The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has enacted legislation (Act 44 of 2010) requiring public funds to divest from companies doing business in Iran and/or Sudan that meet certain thresholds of activity. Additionally, Act 44 prohibits Pennsylvania’s public funds from purchasing securities of a company once it appears on scrutinized business activities lists, regardless of whether the funds already have direct holdings in such company. Act 44 requires that the public funds each year assemble and provide a report to the Governor, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and each member of the boards of the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System, the State Employees’ Retirement System, and the Public School Employees’ Retirement System. Accordingly, we have prepared this report on the activities our funds have undertaken to comply with the requirements of Act 44 during the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. This report includes: The most recent scrutinized companies lists (Sudan and Iran). A summary of correspondence with scrutinized companies. All investments sold, redeemed, divested or withdrawn in compliance with Act 44, the costs and expenses of such transfers, and a determination of net gain or loss on account of such transactions incurred in compliance with the Act. A list of publicly traded securities held by the public funds.

  • The 8 Best Global Brokers
    The 8 Best Global Brokers By Your World Money Analyst Team Copyright 2012 Mauldin Economics International Intelligence Briefing – The 8 Best Global Brokers Our Top Broker Picks Dear Reader, It’s an obvious observation but one worth making: One can’t successfully trade internationally without a broker that can access international markets. Until the dawn of the Internet age, this was a cumbersome and expensive proposition only done manually through a personal stock broker (or brokers). With the advent of our modern communication era, however, managing one’s portfolio has become as simple as a couple clicks of the mouse and a few types on the keyboard. The key is to find the right broker. In this report, we introduce you to our favorites as researched and compiled by World Money Analyst Managing Editor Kevin Brekke. All of them have their own strengths and weaknesses and are best chosen after you are clear what sort of investments you’d like to undertake. The first seven, covered under the article title, An Update on Global Brokerages, reviews some of the better options out there. The second article, Get an International Broker, is a more in-depth analysis of our top pick, Interactive Brokers - a service which gives investors access to 19 different markets all over the world. Best of all, IB is happy to take on American clients whereas, due to the ever increasing maze of new rules and regulations put forth by US policymakers, most other international brokerage services nowadays will not. Please see below. Sincerely, Your World Money Analyst Team Mauldin Economics Page 1 International Intelligence Briefing – The 8 Best Global Brokers An Update on Global Brokerages By Kevin Brekke In response to many requests from our readers, this month we have assembled a select list of brokerage service providers to assist our international subscribers in trading the equities we cover.
