The first sector, IT-Services & -Consulting, has experienced strong consolidation in all three subsectors. IT System Houses are under fierce price pressure, but can benefit from economies of scale in purchasing and logistics. In IT-Services, we see declining prices in commodity services such as desktop services, but higher margins in specialty competencies such as legacy data migration. IT- Consulting remains the most profitable subsegment, in particular for those companies that can leverage a lower cost consulting force based on well documented project workflows.

For the second sector, Enterprise Software, we will distinguish between Application Software and Infrastructure Software companies. Both subsectors continue to be highly attractive, offering scale and relatively low capital expenditures. Enterprise Software has therefore become an increasingly interesting investment target for financial investors.

In order to achieve our goal of maximizing value for our clients on M&A transactions, we need to assess and negotiate strategic and commercial value. Technology companies are unique in this respect and we have therefore developed proprietary Mummert & Company indices for our Information & Communications Technology (ICT) clients in the following sectors:

Both license fee and SaaS based business models allow for strong growth rates with little downside risk once the installed base has reached critical size. In some of our software transactions, banks have financed close to six times EBITDA for leveraged buy-outs based on the targets’ strong cash flows. The third sector, Infrastructure & Equipment, also shows strong valuations. Many datacenter and web-hosting companies are highly profitable with EBITDA margins in excess of 40% for more than a decade. And those margins are often still increasing.

This snapshot is based on our global analysis of 157 stock listed companies that we cover on an ongoing basis and over 1,500 comparable transactions. The geographical split of the 157 stock listed companies covered is as follows:

In recent years, Mummert & Company has completed many transactions in all three sectors. Our goal is to be the market leading M&A advisor in the German speaking region to clients in these sectors.

We wish you continued success and hope that this snapshot serves as a basis for an ongoing dialogue. Best regards,

While sales multiples of c. 1.0x paid for IT-Services and -Consulting companies have been fairly stable over time, EBITDA multiples have decreased in 2013/14 transactions. However, EBITDA margins have increased in the same period. Buyers seem to challenge the sustainability of such higher margins.

caSe Study – conSInto

It-ServIceS & -conSultIng

We advised Aurelius on the sale of Consinto. Aurelius is a publicly listed investment holding. It specializes in acquiring companies with development potential and in providing them with operational support. Aurelius acquired Consinto from Thales Group in 2009.

At the time of its sale to Datagroup, Consinto was a very profitable provider of IT consulting, IT services and outsourcing solutions. With over 310 employees the company has established a loyal and high profile customer base.

Datagroup is one of the leading German IT-Services companies. It offers IT consulting, integration services and operations in its own data centers. Datagroup is listed on the German Entry Standard Exchange. In 2013, Datagroup reported annual sales of EUR 156.9m (+7.4%) and EBITDA of EUR 12.6m.

Datagroup identified many cross selling opportunities. After the acquisition of Cosinto, Datagroup could offer its customers full service solutions for their existing and new SAP installations. The acquisition also supported Datagroup’s strategy to increasingly offer higher value add solutions such as SAP related services.

Both Aurelius and Datagroup have benefited from this transaction. Aurelius has generated high returns on its initial investment in Consinto. Datagroup has significantly improved its positioning and breadth of services. The stock price development of both firms supports the transaction.

caSe Study – proalpha

enterprISe Software

We advised the shareholders of proALPHA on the sale of the company. After successfully building the business for the last 22 years, the founders of proALPHA have decided to sell the company. Two of the three founders wanted to retire from daily operations as part of the transaction. Financial investor Beaufort Capital, who was also a significant shareholder, decided to exit alongside the founders.

proALPHA is the largest privatly held ERP software company in Germany. In 2012, the company generated annual sales of c. EUR 55m with an EBITDA margin in excess of 20%.

Bregal Capital is an investment firm of the Brenninkmeijer family with fund commitments of more than €3bn that has invested in more than 20 companies since its inception.

Bregal Capital is currently investing from its third fund with a volume of €1bn, targeting investments in buy out and development capital for medium-sized companies, such as proALPHA.

proALPHA is a market leader in ERP solutions for discrete manufacturing companies. The firm offers a very robust customer base and strong sales growth. Its innovative ERP solutions are tailored to the requirements of medium-sized companies. Bregal Capital wants to support management in further developing the position of proALPHA as preferred provider of ERP solutions for medium-sized companies.

In the meantime, Leo and Werner Ernst, two of the three founders, have retired from daily operations. Bregal has recruited Dr. Friedrich Neumeyer as new CEO. Martin Wolf, the third founder, has reinvested in the business alongside Bregal Capital and has assumed the role of CTO.

InfraStructure & equIpment

We advised the two founders of Domainfactory on the sale of the company. As part of the transaction they both wanted to retire from daily operations.

Domainfactory was the fourth largest provider of .de domains in Germany (after 1&1, Deutsche Telekom and Host Europe) and the leading independent hosting company. Domainfactory has focused on selling its solutions to micro-SMEs, i.e. companies with less than 20 employees.

Founded in 1997 and headquartered in the UK, Host Europe provides hosting and domain services to small and medium-sized enterprises. At the time of the transaction, Host Europe had c. 600 employees. In July 2013, Cinven acquired Host Europe from Montagu Private Equity.

The acquisition of Domainfactory was consistent with Host Europe’s strategy of consolidating a highly fragmented hosting market in Europe. Domainfactory’s strong reputation for high quality solutions and best-in-class customer service made it a perfect fit with Host Europe.

This acquisition has significantly enhanced Host Europe’s presence and capabilities in the German mass hosting market – now with almost 400,000 customers and managing in excess of 2 million domains. The transition of daily operations from the Domainfactory founders to former second level management and the integration into Host Europe have been successfully accomplished.
