1 QUARTERLY DIALOGUE FOURTH QUARTER 2010 Business Services Business Services For Additional Information, Contact the NCA Business Services Investment Banking Team: Edward R. Casas Senior Managing Director Head of Navigant Capital Advisors 847/ Gregory Hagood Managing Director M&A Practice Area Leader 404/ Alan Mustacchi Managing Director M&A 646/ Kim Brady Managing Director Restructuring 847/ About Navigant Capital Advisors Navigant Capital Advisors is the dedicated corporate finance business unit of Navigant Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: NCI). Navigant Consulting is a specialized independent consulting firm providing financial, operational, dispute and regulatory advisory services to large companies, financial institutions, legal counsel and government agencies. We offer independent and objective advice supported by advanced technical skills, proven competence and indepth industry knowledge. Business Services Sector Overview After experiencing a period of heightened consolidation from Q through the first half of 2010, the Business Services sector experienced a slowdown in merger & acquisition activity during Q as many leading participants began digesting recent acquisitions and preparing for expected growth in Notwithstanding this pullback in M&A activity, most sectors of the Business Services universe substantially outperformed the broader indices. In particular, HR Services, Temporary Staffing and Information Services sectors were up significantly, as investors expect that the current climate of modest growth combined with longer term uncertainty would result in greater demand for outsourced HR services and staffing support. For the Fourth Quarter of 2010, the NCA Business Services Index was up 11.2%, compared to the S&P 500 which was up 9.7%. Merger & Acquisition Activity While large strategic acquisitions were noticeably absent during Q4 2010, the number of private equityled transactions increased, as private equity firms sought investment opportunities that were well positioned to benefit from an economic rebound. Among the notable transactions announced during the quarter were: Court Square Capital Partners acquisition of MailSouth, Inc., a provider of shared mail services; ABRY Partners LLC s acquisition of Comforce Corp., a leading provider of IT staffing and VMS services for $158 million; Paychex, Inc. s acquisition of SurePayroll, Inc., a provider of online payroll and benefits, for $115 million; Thomson Reuters acquisition of Pangea3 LLC, a provider of legal process outsourcing services, for $95 million; Kenexa Corp. s acquisition of Salary.com, a provider of on demand compensation and talent management solutions, for $82.5 million; and, Marlin Equity Partners acquisition of GiftCertificates.com, a provider of online marketing and incentive based gift card solutions. We expect private equity firms to become increasingly aggressive as we move into 2011, as they seek to deploy capital and take advantage of growth opportunities resulting from an economic recovery Net Increase / Decrease in U.S. Employment Temporary Help Services Q10 (in thousands) Recession Temporary Help Employees (in Thousands) 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1, Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Temporary Help Services Temporary Help Penetration 2.50% 2.00% 1.50% 1.00% 0.50% 0.00% Temporary Employment as a % of Total Employment RESTRUCTURING MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES PRIVATE PLACEMENTS VALUATION Realizing Value Delivering Results Atlanta Chicago New York San Francisco Investment banking, private placement, merger, acquisition and divestiture services offered through Navigant Capital Advisors, LLC.
