Growing equity, realizing
value Follow-up Q&A How to ensure you preserve and grow equity value during the downturn April, 2020

2020 Thank you to everyone who joined us for our webinar on 16th April 2 • You can watch a re-run of the webinar here: • https://youtu.be/nj9i2CSRGkk • If you would like a copy of the webinar slides and the 100 Tips book, please email us at info@equiteq.com • We couldn’t cover all the Q&A on the day – the next few slides cover the questions we didn’t get time to address
3.
Confidential equiteq.com© Equiteq
2020 Questions about the economy 3 • What gives you confidence that there will be a V shaped recovery? Paul Collins: There is a lot of uncertainty, of course. From an M&A perspective, we can already see a proportion of acquirers are looking forward to the post-crisis phase, especially financial investors. This is quite different to 08/09 when everything stopped - which is encouraging in itself. • Do you thing the pandemic will make other regions like ASIA more attractive in years to come? Paul: I'd like to think so but it could go in the opposite direction if the pandemic creates even more nationalism in the west than we have seen in the past few years.
4.
Confidential equiteq.com© Equiteq
2020 Questions about M&A 4 • What is the number 1 question your buyers are asking you? Paul: They are really trying to understand what the real-world impact is on our clients' businesses. • During the downturn, do you anticipate US or European firms making acquisitions in US to bolster profits? Paul: Yes – both. • Do you see some sort of Covid-19 "adjustment" sellers can claim? To EBIT and Revenue??? Paul: Absolutely, we will be making this argument on every firm we sell going forward. • Are there any situations where you think it would be preferable to go to market now vs. when the buyer market is back to 'normal’? Paul: Yes and we are seeing some of those already. If you have a service that was in great demand prior to the pandemic and you have been growing fast as a result then buyers would still want to engage now. Many will take the view that there will be fewer buyers around and so their interest is likely to be more successful and price may be less of an issue than positioning themselves for the upturn when it comes. Whilst headline price may not be reduced in these circumstances, we might expect buyers to mitigate downside risk through the deal structure i.e. less cash upfront and more on an earnout. • With debt so cheap and with such great terms right now, why not load up and create a war-chest for growth? Paul: We have some mid-market clients who are planning just that. If you can without personal risk then consider it, so long as you have the confidence to be able to pay it back out of growth.
5.
Confidential equiteq.com© Equiteq
2020 Questions about M&A - continued 5 • Do you suggest keeping M&A strategy as part of your growth strategy in 2020 & 2021? Paul: Definitely! Acquisition opportunities will be very tempting over the next 6 months and beyond. Some target firms might not be actively in the market but with the right support, you should be able to find good value firms to acquire. • We paused an existing acquisition process – were we premature? Paul: It obviously makes sense to review the deal given uncertainty, but don’t take too long. If there is strategic rationale for the deal and a willing buyer and seller, then you should be able to manage the risk through the deal structure. • Taking a transatlantic view, how do international buyers / PE firms view the US economy and US consultancies. Is the pandemic making US based companies more, less - or same - attractive to international buyers? Is there a noticeable variation, globally, in response to this crisis in terms of buyers interest in consulting firms? Paul: A bit too early to decide on this one. Different countries have taken different approaches to managing the pandemic, but it remains to be seen what impact this will have on regional economic recovery. In 08/09, we definitely saw a ‘flight to quality’ in terms of deals that proceeded, and I’d expect that to be a big factor again. International buyers recognise there are numerous high quality assets in the US, which should underpin the market.

2020 Questions about cutting costs 6 • When making cuts in a downturn, what's the best strategy to pursue to preserve equity value? Paul: The first priority is to ensure you survive the downturn to have the chance to sell equity at a future stage. Secondly, cut those resources that do not impact directly revenue growth in the short to medium term future or those that can be reasonably replaced quickly in an upturn. Protect resources that directly drive revenue growth including (some) marketing, sales, client management and senior client delivery. Challenge everything else. • You say protect cash flow, but many of our clients are asking for longer terms (e.g. 90 days, not 30). Should we say yes? Paul: Depends. If it is a long-term strategic client and you can borrow to bridge the gap then yes. If not, I would push back. Most clients will be able to manage the downturn better than you and it usually isn’t reasonable for them to use you to solve their cash problems in this way. • What’s the recommended variable to fixed compensation ratio in such circumstances? Paul: This is obviously really company-specific, but here’s some general guidelines. The more senior you are, the more it should be variable, perhaps 100%. As you go down the organisation, you might move towards 50/50 but the exact ratio depends on whether the variable is really a bonus or just a means of mitigating fixed costs historically. If it has been more of a bonus then you might go to more than 50% variable • Any tips on maintaining morale in a small team when cutting people? Paul: Cut hard and do it once! Work hard then at making sure the remaining staff become and see that they are part of building the future of the firm. You cant over-communicate in this environment
7.
Confidential equiteq.com© Equiteq
2020 Questions about dealing with the new environment 7 • Can you really kick off a new client in the current environment? Paul: I accept it is tough. Building rapport and trust over a zoom link is much less effective than face-to-face. So first choice would be to focus on existing and past clients where that rapport already exists. Concentrate new client development on pipeline and goodwill building for future revenues. That said, there’s some real innovation taking place on virtual selling. For example, we advised on the merger between Sales Performance International and Richardson last year, and they have already created a dedicated virtual selling programme. • Any examples of re-invention to really support businesses in parallel with clients focusing on social distancing? Paul: One of our clients has had a long-term programme to migrate their application implementation services towards more RPA (Robotic Process Automation) – they’re really stepping this up during the crisis and linking it to an improved digital sales front-end. It means clients can configure more of the system they want - and get a ‘live’ system running much quicker. Post-crisis, this should also give them a compelling proposition to offer existing clients who want to rapidly shift from on-premise to cloud solutions. • Looking forward, are there any particular aspects of the post-covid economy that companies should focus on to strengthen their UVP (for example, focusing more on use of virtual technology given that return to normal social interaction may be delayed for a while)? Paul: Travel expenses have always been a big part of the consulting cost base, mostly charged on to clients but not always. Whilst new client winning is likely to still require face-to-face contact, I think the use of video-conferencing and online collaboration tools could reduce costs for existing client work and make firms more agile and competitive for those that embrace the technology

2020 Questions about the 8-lever model 8 • Are there multipliers to your 8 levers of equity value as per your previous multiplier equation? Paul: Assuming you mean the weightings on each of the 8 levers then, yes, they have been pretty constant - Market Proposition, Sales & Profit Growth and Management Quality get the highest weighting of 10/10. • Would you apply the "Wheel" in a contemplated merger, and if so how? Paul: It’s a great way to calculate valuation, identify strengths and weaknesses of the target firm and also perform a culture match to see if the merger is likely to work! Depending on whether it is a real merger or an acquisition, you could make it a joint assessment or just on the acquired firm. We do this often.
