PUBLIC COMPANY ACTIVITY

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHT: FACILITIES MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE

Despite a softening U.S. manufacturing environment,public company appetite for accretive M&A opportunitiescontinues to be robust through YTD 2019, accounting for31% of total deal volume compared to ~18% in 2018.Public operators have continued to seek complementaryvalue-added businesses to exploit cost synergies andaccelerate product diversification as well as new andexisting end-market penetration.

Continued uncertainty regarding trade tensions andsubsequent supply chain disruptions have presented near-term headwinds. However, MRO M&A demand hasincreased and continues to eclipse the deceleration.Leading value-added distributor of MRO products DXPEnterprises (Nasdaq:DXPE) expects multiples to remainsteady as it continues to seek tuck-in M&A opportunities,noted to be driven by strong free cash flow, according toDXP’s CFO Kent Yee in its Q2 2019 earnings call.2 DXPexpects to remain a key participant in the M&A market.

Acquisitions of highly complementary firms that fostercost reductions and expand strategic capabilities areexpected to remain attractive for public operators withstrong balance sheets. Notably, public companies havetargeted high growth segments such as value-addedproviders of industrial automation for original equipmentmanufacturers (OEMs), integrators, and other end-users.Operators can leverage this cutting edge technology bypairing it with its existing suite of offerings and upsellingcurrent clients.

The Computerized Maintenance Management System(CMMS) Software industry is expected to reach a marketvalue of ~$1.4 billion by 2025, growing at a 9.8%compound annual growth rate (CAGR) throughout theforecast period, according to QY Research.4 Growth inthe Facilities Maintenance Software industry as well as theComputerized Maintenance Management System(CMMS) Software subsector has been driven by anincrease in outsourced maintenance and internet ofthings (IoT) technology integration. Heightenedutilization of interoperable systems have supporteddemand for advanced software that can exploit andmanage predictive, interconnected systems, providingoptimized capacity and streamlined MRO operations.

Strategic CMMS providers have used M&A activity tointegrate existing software solutions with IoT and artificialintelligence (AI) technologies. In August, Fiix, a providerof cloud-based maintenance and asset managementsoftware, acquired Alchemy IoT for an undisclosed sum.
