2 Opportunities for sellers in the consulting sector M&A market Contents Highlights...3 Introduction...4 Buyers Research Report...6 Insight 1: Buyers expectations over the next three years...6 There s a lot of general advice in the market about the best time to sell a company and how much you can expect to get for it. However, there is sparse advice on selling consulting firms and very little input from the people who matter most the potential buyers of your business. That s why we undertook the first survey of buyers of consulting firms. We wanted to find out from them exactly what they re looking for over the next two to three years, whether they re looking to buy more or less, and what types of deal structures and earn-outs are being used. I think you ll find the results both thought provoking and insightful. We re pleased to report that buyers of consulting firms are predicting a 6% growth in deals over the next two to three years. The last time we saw growth of that magnitude was in We see a market that is very clear about what it wants to buy, where buyers expect to source deals from, and the top three factors that attract and deter them when considering a firm for acquisition. From a seller s perspective, they provide some key statistics on the failure and success rates at each stage of the acquisition process. We hope you will find our 2014 Buyers Research Report as interesting and informative as we do. Whether you re planning to sell your business or have already embarked on that path, this research will influence your thinking and provide some important signposts as to how best to maximize the value of your consulting firm.

3 Highlights Insight 1: Buyers expectations over the next three years Insight 4: Typical deal structures and earn-out periods Our research shows that buyer demand for consulting firms is positive going forward. Buyers anticipate a 6% plus growth in deals over the next two to three years. The last time we saw market growth of this magnitude was in So how do you capitalize on the best opportunities? Insight 2: Buyers ideal characteristics for consulting firms What profile of consulting firm are buyers looking for? Although there is a wide range of buyer requirements, the most popular criteria for buyers was found to be consulting firms with revenues between $15m 1 and $40m, stable financials, deep domain expertise and leveragable Intellectual Property. However, buyers often compromise on size, as the supply of quality consulting firms in the market in this range does not meet buyer demand. How does your firm fit with this profile and how do you stand out from the crowd? More than nine out of ten deals involve earn-outs or deferred payments. Nearly half of those payments are paid up-front. The good news for sellers is that around threequarters of earn-outs hit their targets. What earn-out metrics should you expect for your business? Insight 5: Deal opportunity failure rates It is important to appreciate the probabilities of success with each buyer and therefore to cast a wide net when going to market. Buyers said that on average 82% of potential deals do not progress to a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement and only 9% of the remainder get as far as a Letter of Intent. Given the high volume of potential opportunities seen by buyers, how can you avoid the pitfalls? Insight 3: Where buyers source deals Prolific buyers 2 get 42% of their acquisition opportunities via third parties, with 38% sourced through their own internal M&A team. However, even buyers with M&A operations put the intermediary route slightly ahead as the most effective source of deals. How can you enhance your visibility to the relevant parties in a sale process? 1 Currency used throughout is US Dollars. 2 In this report, we consider Prolific buyers to be those who acquire more than one consulting firm per year as opposed to Regular Buyers who acquire one consulting firm per year on average. NB Rounding of figures may mean that some totals round to just above or below 100%. This does not influence the findings. How to improve the certainty of a successful sale Although a small proportion of qualified acquisition opportunities result in Letters of Intent (LoIs) from a buyer, many of these opportunities do not appropriately articulate their value to the buyer. By following some important steps in an M&A process as outlined in our report, sellers of consulting firms can mitigate the inherent risks and increase the certainty of a sale to a very high probability. With the right approach and advice, there is no reason why your firm couldn t be one of the 200 consulting firms sold per month across the globe. 3
4 Buyers Research Report Introduction Given the growing volume of consulting firm M&A deals we have seen over several years in our annually published Global Consulting M&A Report, we felt it important to have a primary view from the buyer community. We commissioned research on the overall future demand, the types of consulting firms in demand, deal sourcing preferences, deal structures, and areas where deal opportunities most often fail. With this focus, we commissioned a primary piece of research to collect statistics from a diverse community of consulting firm buyers to reflect the realities of their M&A activity to date and their sentiment on acquisitions going forward. We are now delighted to present the findings of Equiteq s 2014 Buyers Research Report. In this report, you will find the views from 100 buyers of consulting firms from across the world, representing a broad range of consulting sectors and a view from the top from senior decision makers.

Buyers interviewed by telephone acquired 310 consulting firms between them in the last two to three years. In the next two to three years, those buyers say they intend to buy a further 330 consulting firms. As such, this report represents the realities of consulting firm buyers and their sentiment going forward. We are confident that you will find this report insightful, whether you are a consulting firm owner who is looking to go to market soon or are growing your business for sale in the next two to three years.
