Harris Williams Current Market Observations and Insights

Buyer Sentiment

• After an initial period of inward focus, many PEGs have transitioned from a defensive stance with their portfolios to an offensive posture on both add-on and platform acquisitions.

• Untouched cash pockets over the last six months increase the pressure to invest capital; however, investors remain highly focused on A-quality assets.

• Feedback suggests a continued up-tick in M&A activity for the remainder of 2020 and beyond, although implications of U.S. elections and potential tax law changes are beginning to factor into near-term decision-making.

Economic Outlook

• In recent weeks, there have been early signs of green shoots across multiple economic dimensions, including retail sales, industrial production, employment indices, and optimism for future business activity.

• While uncertainty remains around the shape and magnitude of the ultimate recovery amidst a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, many companies are recovering faster and to a greater extent than originally expected.

Debt Markets

• Increased activity since the trough in March with significant variation depending on the quality and industry of the asset.

• Groups that are trying to put money to work are finding that current deal flow is limited in both quantity and quality.

• Lender appetite heavily dependent on size of opportunity – credit market for assets with less than $25 million in EBITDA is significantly tighter than for platforms of $25+ million in EBITDA.

M&A Valuations

• Based on HW deals with valuation feedback since March, multiples have consistently remained elevated as transaction volume has started to approach pre-COVID levels, albeit that the notion exists that many of the deals are smaller or "B"-grade.

• Top-quality assets will continue to receive elevated levels of interest and competitive valuations, while, average businesses are more likely to see downward pressure on valuations.

▪ Automation is a critical success factor for production efficiency. Only excellent automation solutions make it possible to achieve consistently high quality, high throughput, and lowproduction costs, which allows customers to lead the market and remain highly competitive.

▪ While the initial automation and robotics revolution was started by the automotive industry, new industries such as medical, life sciences, food, consumer goods, and electronicsare increasingly utilizing automation systems. Since 2005, non-automotive industries have increased their relative share of total orders with evolving application technologiesdriving strong automation adoption. This trend is expected to continue.

▪ While Europe and North America contribute the highest share to the global automation market, Asia-Pacific is the largest growth driver globally and is expected to expand itsmarket share in the future. In terms of innovation, Europe, Japan, and China are the main drivers of innovation in automation and converging operational technology withinformation technology.

Short-Term Impact

• With social distancing and remote working guidelines (e.g., with virtual commissioning) businesses are now looking at automation solutions to help mitigate the pandemic risks to operations while increasing manufacturing flexibility and efficiency.

• While automation solutions are a focus of corporate executives during the pandemic, unclear return on investment measures and timing of implementations amid economic uncertainty are delaying deployments, creating a drag on near-term performance, particularly in automation-stalwart end markets that were contracting long before the onset of COVID (i.e., automotive, heavy industry).

Long-Term Impact

• The automation industry is expected to receive increased interest in, and application of, automation among various industries.

• Alongside automation solutions, an increased demand for digitalized processes such as virtual commissioning and remote maintenance is expected.

• Supply chains are expected to retain to a more local production, which, in most instances, will require the deployment of automation solutions.

INDUSTRY TRENDS END-MARKETS TRENDS

New technology disrupts traditional manufacturing

▪ Manufacturers develop, test and design their products through digital simulation (digital twins), thereby drastically decreasing R&D cost.

▪ Intelligent autonomous devices are able to learn from their environment and make decisions independently.

▪ Computer modeling tools enable companies to design materials with desired properties.

Manufacturing technology

IT systems merge with operational technologies (OT)

▪ Data-centric IT systems are being integrated in existing OT monitoring systems to create smarter, more efficient operations.

▪ Industrial IoT is reshaping manufacturing.

▪ Collaborative robots (Cobots) have an increasing share in the workforce.

Convergence of IT & OT

Sources: 2019 Manufacturing Trends Report, International Federation of Robotics, Cisco Global Cloud Index, Industrial Ethernet Book

Manufacturers evolve toward more service-centric business models

▪ Manufacturers adopt a Product as a Service business model, where the product is delivered as a service or experience, while the customer does not take ownership of a physical product.

▪ Manufacturing itself evolves to a service where businesses leverage a shared manufacturing infrastructure.

Everything as a Service (XaaS)

Smarter manufacturing through intelligent connected systems

▪ Intelligent Systems such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning deliver instant manufacturing intelligence by analyzing large amounts of data in a few seconds.

▪ AI and ML are powering intelligent, autonomous systems that can streamline processes at any stage of the value chain.
