We view recent weakness as buying opportunity given strength in leading indicators. KEY DRIVERS UP, CONSENSUS ESTIMATES DOWN 2 Macro Monitor identified several series as two quarter leading indicators of y/y ROC in Application Services Revenue. Combined, these key drivers point to a material acceleration in application services revenue through 1Q15 at a time when consensus sales and earnings estimates have been ratcheted down. $1.5 BILLION ANNUAL REVENUE OPPORTUNITY 3 S-curve model tracking 50% market share based on 4,000 potential customers. Average product per customer of 2.4 and 12 products available. $2.5 billion incremental market opportunity based on product per customer of 6.0. SOURCE: HEDGEYE HEDGEYE 7 BEAT & RAISE 2013 -> MISS & LOWER 2014 • Backlog and revenue growth accelerated in 2012/2013 and the stock went parabolic. • Stock peaked $68.2 on March 4, 2014 (up ~300% from 2012 closing price). • Missed estimates in 2014 largely due to deal timing. • Stock fell ~50% and short interest has tripled to 12%.

BUT IF PEOPLE ARE IN THE MIDST OF TRYING TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST, SOMEBODY’S MAKING A RUN AT THEM, OR TRYING TO REPOSITION THEMSELVES, THEY WON’T BE AS AGGRESSIVE ABOUT TURNING ALL THE PROCESSES THEY HAVE INTERNALLY UPSIDE DOWN AND SPENDING A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY.” -TAREK SHERIF, CEO Q3 2014 DATA SOURCE: FACTSET, CLINICALTRAILS.GOV, HEDGEYE HEDGEYE 9 SHORTS HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN WRONG SHORT INTEREST NEAR ALL TIME HIGH Historically, shorts have been wrong with next 12-mo excess returns having a positive relationship to the level of short interest today. Short interest is just shy of the 12% high reached in 2012.
