▪ Increasing demand for software development activities driven by digital transformation and productdevelopment requirements leading to demand-supply imbalance for software talent- IDC estimated that in 2014, there were only 18.5m software developers worldwide, of which only 11m were professional developers

▪ Outsourced software development represents the fastest growth within the overall softwaredevelopment landscape- Established Outsourced Product Development (OPD) players have delivered super-normal growth over the years and are expected to

continue to deliver double-digit growth rates over the coming years- Requirements for specialist talent at the most cost-effective price points have been a major driver for the development of outsourcing

and led to the emergence of high-quality best-shored delivery setups

▪ CEE region with its strong engineering talent pool, has emerged as an attractive offshoring / near-shoring destination- Europe is an untapped market with ~75% of IT work done in-house providing significant potential for near-shoring- Ability to service European clients in local languages is a key strength of the CEE region

▪ The global OPD landscape is highly fragmented with only a handful of scaled-up, pure-play OPDplayers- Pure-play OPD players attract premium valuation reflecting the higher growth potential leading to a rapid de-multiplier effect- A long tail of small niche players with core competencies in next generation technologies and vertical-specific domain expertise offer

significant potential for consolidation

Growth in demand for software development by Large Enterprises as opposed to just traditional ISVs

As complexity of projects increases, vertical focused knowledge will stand to gain

▪ Projects that affect business strategy, require deeper domain expertise as opposed to just technical expertise

▪ Ongoing shift towards a digital economy, explosive growth in SMAC are driving large enterprises to invest in development ofbespoke systems in order to remain competitive

Digital engagements and transformational work presenting a large opportunity for OPD service providers

▪ Shift towards disruptive digital technologies and complex transformational engagements requires a more consultative partner todesign and implement solutions

Limited talent-pool of skilled software developers leading to demand-supply imbalances

▪ Outsourcing of software development expected to continue growing for the foreseeable future▪ Scarcity of talent, cost pressures, shorter product lifecycles, faster product upgrades and faster time-to-market pressures continue

to drive the growth in outsourcing by enterprises / ISVs and the emerging start-up / SMB community

Established players expected to continue consolidating a highly fragmented landscape

Share of Software R&D within total R&D Spend (in % of total)

▪ As software increasingly defines product differentiation and customer experience, R&D spend on software has been growing significantly faster than R&D spend on services or product offerings (see right)

▪ Major R&D spenders outside the technology sector (e.g. Automotive, Financial Services, etc) are significantly contributing to Software R&D growth, and moving away from traditional product related R&D

▪ As a consequence, Software R&D spend is expected to constitute ~25% of the global R&D spend by 2020

▪ New technologies such as the Internet of Things as well as the Cloud are a catalyst for Software R&D spend for Enterprises

▪ To support the transition to software R&D, companies are increasingly focusing on recruiting data and software engineers as opposed to traditional employee profiles such as mechanical and electrical engineers

▪ Scale enables companies to bid for larger client projects and hence is a key driver for consolidation in the OPD space

▪ Improves communication between clients and delivery teams, better cultural affinity, minimal time zone difference, increases efficiency, reduces complexity and execution risks

▪ Competitive pressures to deliver high quality service at optimum price points drives OPD players to constantly seek to acquire delivery capabilities in nearshore jurisdictions

▪ Diversification into a new vertical or enhancing vertical-specific delivery capabilities is an important driver of M&A activity and can also assist in client-acquisition

▪ Smaller OPD players can be attractive targets depending on their client profile

▪ Acquisition of clients or deepening existing client relationships is an important driver for M&A activity

▪ Established players efficiently use M&A as a tool to build capabilities be it technical or language

▪ Acquisitions help in quickly ramping up required skill-sets as against an organic build-out

▪ Attractiveness of the outsourced custom software development industry is at a peak level; primarily driven by the following market characteristics:

- Strong growth in the sector (strongest within outsourced R&D) due to high demand for agile development and niche software talent to deliver increasingly demanding and short time-to-market technology projects, for Enterprises and ISVs alike

- Acquisition of front-end capabilities for digital transformation, and UI/UX design

- Ongoing consolidation with strategic acquirers (both standalone and PE-backed) keen to acquire niche capabilities as well as larger teams to fulfil large work package projects

- Attractive financial performance of industry leaders with market leading growth and margins vs. other IT Services segments

- Low cost of debt available in the market place

▪ Thus M&A in this sector has seen the following:

- Upward trend in the volume and value of closed transactions in recent years

- Marquee Deals – CPPIB/Global Logic, Altran/Lohika, Harman/ Symphony Telelca, CA Technologies /Rally Software, and Bain Capital /Quest Global

- Continued interest from the Private Equity community – Cornerstone acquiring IT Kontrakt, EI acquiring Intive, Inflexion acquiring Mobica, Blackstone acquiring Pactera Soros acquiring Ciklum and Apax acquiring GlobalLogic

Size and growth profile

▪ Ability to sustain larger employee strength is indicative of resilience, quality of service & revenue recurrence

▪ Although large pureplay OPD players such as EPAM, Luxoft and Globant attract premium valuation multiples vis-à-vis peers, when adjusted for anticipated revenue / margin growth, the multiples tend to be benign

Revenue / Customer profile

▪ Stable, long-term relationships with top customers, lower client concentration and multi-year SLA-based services contracts (as against project based revenues)

▪ Low level of dependence on ISV / Start-up clients (typically involving short-term project based work)

- EPAM has a stated objective of maintaining ISV revenue in the range of 20% of its total revenues

Historical financials & forecasts

▪ Demonstrated historical growth and attractive forecasts backed by secure customer-specific revenues

▪ Stable margin with well controlled base of direct and indirect costs

Delivery Centres / Geography ▪ Geographies with lower employment cost and high talent availability, while maintaining reasonable levels of wage inflation, are

preferred delivery locations as this criteria is an important contributor to margin profile

Profitability & margin profile ▪ Ability to generate a recurring and stable level of profitability in line with the market (~15%-20% EBITDA)

Quality of management team ▪ Experience, reputation and market-perception of management team

Type of customer engagement▪ Critical outsourced teams well integrated into client teams vs. fully outsourced

▪ Basic IT services and T&M versus delivering fully outsourced software engineering projects

Business Model

▪ Pure Time & Material (primarily utilization driven) vs.

▪ Packaged (Team-based) T&M vs.

▪ Fixed Price Projects (primarily outcome-based)

Employee Metrics▪ Utilization rates (for T&M business)

▪ Attrition % (increasingly important metric as Attrition Rates increase across delivery locations)
