2 Key Themes in the Gaming Industry The Gaming Paradigm Shift Users Can Trump Revenue The Overlooked Importance of Casual It s All About the Whales Free-To-Play Frustration? Cross-Platform Games-as-a- Service Real Money Gambling and Social Casino Gaming s shift to online continues, driven by the increasing number of connected devices and distribution platforms, as well as the rising utilization of virtual goods Today s leaders employ powerful game mechanics while leveraging ancillary monetization opportunities to create highly profitable business models Recent notable gaming transactions have been driven by user bases in addition to revenue, and some have been solely user-driven With their mass market appeal, casual games have enabled new gaming demographics and represented some of the highest value transactions Games aimed to monetize through Whale spending are the most valuable in the industry With recent social gaming success stories exhibiting metrics-led design and sometimes overt monetization mechanisms, we ask the question: Are gamers getting frustrated with Free-to-Play ( F2P )? The popularity of persistent worlds coupled with the proliferation of mobile gaming platforms will increase the need for games to be delivered as a service and accessible anywhere Online Real Money Gambling ( RMG ) represents a significant call option for casino operators and social game developers alike Casino operators and social game developers represent two completely different skillsets this dichotomy will be a key M&A driver in the mid and long term 2

3 Macro Trends in Gaming Few players have been able to effectively serve both the online and mobile markets. Many that have done so successfully have entered the market via acquisition Most mobile successes are in Casual Console Publisher Online and Mobile Casual Online Development MMO/RPG/RTS Hardcore Services & Tools Monetization Payments Mobile Analytics Challenges for hardcore mobile offerings are short session times, screen size, processing power and user behavior. Most successful hardcore mobile games are simple RPGs with low graphics intensity Developer Platforms Hardware The majority of the hardcore online landscape does not have the capabilities or desire to move to mobile Notable players moving towards mobile are Zynga, Kabam, Cmune, InXile and Spacetime Studios 3

4 Key Trends in Gaming M&A Mobile and Social Have Been the Focal Points of Activity Mobile and Social represent 48% of all gaming M&A since 2010 Mobile alone represents 25% of Gaming M&A year to date in 2013 and 28% in 2012 Console M&A has been largely absent since 2010 as recent gaming start-ups have focused on emerging gaming platforms Historical Gaming M&A by Sector (1) Strategic Deals Have Commanded the Highest Multiples 2010 and 2011 both saw revenue multiples of 10x and higher, led by the likes of Disney / Playdom, DeNA / ngmoco, and EA / Popcap Profitability, user base, and tech platform are key value drivers GREE s acquisition of OpenFeint and Zynga s acquisition of OMGPOP underscore the importance of users and platform in the context of valuation YTD The Buyer Universe is Evolving EA and Zynga have done 15% of all Gaming deals since 2010 Absent are Activision and Disney, both historically acquisitive While GREE and DeNA have made several strategic buys in mobile, we expect Kabam, Nexon and Tencent to become more active here With Gaming a key pillar in the digital economy, we expect Google, Microsoft, IAC, and Amazon to become increasingly active Other Gambling Console/PC Technology MMO/Online Social Mobile 2013 Gaming M&A by Sector 10% 25% Struggling console players who have valuable IP may be lowvaluation targets for EA and Activision 21% What s Next? Mobile acqui-hires will subside as historically active acquirors (EA and Zynga) focus on in-house talent and acquired franchises Online gambling M&A will surge as regulatory frameworks change Over the mid and long term, as states legalize online gambling one by one, Real Money Gambling M&A will represent a growing percentage of deal volume 11% 25% 8% Mobile Social MMO/Online Technology Console/PC Gambling (1) Data shown on a number of transactions basis since many values are undisclosed 4
