DCF Details • COGS: % of revenue • R&D: Historically 11-12% of revenue, projected the top of this range for 2013 due to final i2 integration • S&M: Historically 14-16% of revenue, projected this going forward but slightly more aggressively in 2013 (top 250 marketing plan) • G&A: Historically between 10-12% of revenue (except 2012- SEC investigation), projected to decrease due to SaaS transition, more efficiently handling costs
DCF Details cont… • Amortization of intangibles: projected % of revenues going forward, slight decreases (no huge acquisitions) • Restructuring charges: Projected slightly high (relative to historicals) due to 3 year investment plan through 2015 • Acquisition: Left room for a small acquisition • Litigation settlement: Competitive advantage for JDA Software, projected normalized, small amounts of income from litigation settlements
Beta • 3 year optimal time frame: balance of long/short term • Hamada: chosen to encompass industry behavior/risk while acknowledging JDA’s capital structure
Growth Rates • 4% intermediate growth rate chosen to smooth cash flow growth; reflect more accurate FCF growth and growth decline • 3% terminal growth to reflect projected economic growth into perpetuity
Industry Comparables • Comparability lies in product offering, industry risk, projected growth • SAP (20%), Oracle (15%), Manhattan Associates (35%), Retalix (30%)
Fundamental Comparables • Comparability lies in growth rates, sizes, capital structures, and geographical revenue spreads • CA Technologies (25%), ValueClick (25%), SS&C Technology (25%), Acuity Brands (25%)
Metrics/Multiples • For both groups of comparables, I chose the following weights: • FCF proxies: cash generation representative of competitive offering • Remaining 30% on metrics that represent ability to generate revenues and sustain healthy margins
