CEE Software Development M&A in 2020: Executive Summary
2
Public companies perform at
record levels
Consistently high M&A activity
Leaders` M&A | IPO / exit play
• Most companies slowed down in growth in 2020 from an average 20-25% to an estimated 10-15%
resuming high growth in Q4 2020*
• Public companies with CEE presence trade at record high after stocks plunged in Q2 of 2020
• High number of M&A / investments in CEE with 29 deals announced in 2020 beating 26 in 2019
• Key valuation principle in most deals: single digit EBITDA multiple for <$50M revenue companies and
double-digit EBITDA multiple for $50-100M+ revenue companies and for smaller players with strong
vertical focus and high gross margin profile**
• At least 5+ well-funded CEE players with revenue of $100M continued to expand via M&A with the
goal of an IPO / exit play
• We expect to see first IPOs of these players in 2021 / 2022
“Seller`s” M&A market in Ukraine • Limited number of companies put for sale with more demand to acquire than interest to sell
Resilient performance amid global Covid-19 pandemic
Cash accumulation
• As companies cut costs and optimized EBITDA, many accumulated cash and are looking to
acquire small/medium-sized targets which may result in increased number of deals in 2021
Few deals in Belarus • Amid the political crisis, with just 2 M&As announced, Belarus saw the lowest number of
announced deals since 2016

5. What most of large acquirers
seek for…
5
1
Mid-market and/or enterprise clients with
long term contracts
Above the market average 30+% y-o-y
consistent revenue growth
Company’s ability to retain and win new
large contracts, so most of the revenue is
recurring
High EBITDA (over 15%) and Gross
Margin (over 40%)
Founders’ willingness to stay for 2-4 years
post acquisition
Other strategic rationales might play a role depending on
an acquirer: type of delivery, technology specialization,
industry vertical, business model etc.
2

4
5
7
6 Distinguished employee culture resulting in solid
talent retention

6. Vertical capabilities
• Acquisition of new verticals or deepening of existing capabilities
Deal example: Luxoft – CMORE Automotive, 2020 (Automotive vertical)
Delivery diversification
• New delivery geographies to diversify market / political risks
• Delivery in new countries/regions enables to tap into talent pool
Deal example: Endava – Comtrade Digital Services, 2020 (delivery
centers in Slovenia, Serbia, and Bosnia)
Client acquisition
• Acquisition of new clients or enhancement of current client profile
• Small players can be attractive depending on their client profile
Deal example: GlobalLogic – Rofous Software, 2011 (i.e. LinkedIn, Stryker)
Scale
• Enables companies to bid for larger
projects
Deal example: Grid Dynamics – Daxx, 2020
We expect established players to continue
consolidating a fragmented market
Technical / language capabilities
• Enhancement of tech teams is faster via M&A than
through organic growth
Deal example: Sigma Software – IdeaSoft, 2021
And key strategic rationales
driving M&A roll-on strategy
6
Inorganic growth is a way for established players
to expand capabilities, client portfolios and scale

• Attractiveness of the software development
outsourcing industry persists
• 2018 and 2020 had the highest number of M&A /
cash-out deals during the last decade
Result: consistently high M&A activity
in the region in 2018 - 2020

8. Industry leaders expand through M&A,
pursuing IPO / exit play
At least 5 well-funded CEE players with revenue from
$50M up to $100M+ are expanding through M&A
with the aim of IPO / exit play
Our insights into recent private companies deals
demonstrate that implied EV / Revenue lies in 0.9x-
2.0x range and EV / EBITDA in 4.0x-15.0x range.
There are, however, exceptions with transactions at
higher multiples
8
Examples
Public companies receive highest multiples with some
reaching 5x-8x+ EV / Revenue and 20-30x+ EV /
EBITDA vs multiples we observe with private
companies. Thus, public companies have stronger
financial incentives to pursue M&A
