Unemployment Rate
Net Jobs Gain/Loss
• Healthy labor markets drive adoption of human capital management software products, which in turn, drives HCM software M&A volume.
• The U.S unemployment rate has been steadily declining since peaking in October 2009 at 10%. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS), the unemployment rate was 5.8% in November 2014, and is projected to have fallen to 5.6% following December 2014.
• Non-farm payroll job creation in 2014 was especially strong according to the BLS, with the U.S. economy adding over 200K new jobs
during 11 out of 12 months. In comparison, 200K jobs or more were created during 6 months in both 2013 and 2012, 4 months in 2011, 3
months in 2010, no months in 2009 and 2008, and only the month of January during 2007.

• SaaS HCM companies are performing well in the publics markets. Currently, the SEG SaaS HCM Index, which includes the companies
listed below, is outperforming the remaining SEG SaaS Indices on a EV/Revenue basis (7.0x TTM revenue).
• The index is outperforming all others despite posting the poorest median TTM gross margin and EBITDA margin percentages.
• Valuations in the group have been buoyed by strong revenue growth rates (31.8%), which most closely correlates to SaaS company
valuation, and strengthening labor markets.
