Financial Technology Sector – December 2013 Financial Technology Sector – Fourth Quarter 2013 Update 1
Financial Technology Sector – Fourth Quarter 2013 Update
The year 2013 will likely prove one remembered most for strong performance in the equity capital markets with the
S&P and DJIA gaining roughly 25% and 21%, respectively. On the M&A front, the year can be best summarized as the
year of the haves and the have nots. Within the financial technology market in particular, valuation gaps are at an all-
time high—companies with highly differentiated solutions and go-to-market strategies that have proven, strong growth
and profitability are realizing significantly outsized valuation multiples compared with “average” industry participants.
We believe this trend will continue as public market valuations and recent precedent M&A trades have added to a
healthy and frothy M&A environment moving into 2014; we are strongly optimistic that M&A activity within the
financial technology sector will be robust during 2014.
The M&A environment remains active, and aggressive multiples are being realized for truly differentiated
opportunities. Good examples of this year’s “haves” include Digital River’s acquisition of LML Payment Systems,
Ingenico’s acquisition of Ogone, Vantiv’s acquisition of Element, PayPal’s acquisition of Braintree, TSYS’s acquisition of
NetSpend, ACI Worldwide’s acquisition of Official Payments, Davis + Henderson’s acquisition of Harland, NCR’s
acquisition of Digital Insight, and CVC Capital’s acquisition of Skrill. While each of these transactions had distinct
differentiating qualities, all of these targets had similar overarching characteristics, such as high growth; a bend toward
e-commerce and mobile; unique competitive positioning; platform flexibility; and healthy, accelerating profit margins.
More than ever, acquirers are paying outsized valuations for truly differentiated assets.
Private equity firms continue to be highly active within the sector, but they are primarily sellers in this environment
because they are taking advantage of attractive market valuations, and in some cases, quick returns (e.g., NCR
acquisition of Digital Insight).
The U.S. markets remain active and show signs of a continuing bull market with some strategists calling for a further
10% rise in capital market returns during 2014. For the year, the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are up roughly 25% and 33%,
respectively. Many firms are taking advantage of the open markets coupled with the attractive valuations to bolster
their cash war chests and to realize liquidity events for selling shareholders. We are optimistic that the equity capital
markets for both initial public offerings and secondary offerings will remain open and active during 2014.
The financial technology industry continues to be a high-growth sector and one that is undergoing significant
disruption as traditional payments, alternative payment technologies (i.e., mobile) and marketing, data analytics, and
value-added solutions continue to converge. The next several quarters should bring several notable acquisitions as both
strategic and financial buyers continue to invest in growth and look to capitalize on a quickly transforming landscape.
