Revenue Model Transformation Beginning 2012 Company wide initiative to change current customer’s strategies; sell SaaS to new customers Compensation incentives IDC on SaaS: $40.5B by 2014; CAGR of 25.3%

Discounted Cash Flow Valuation
Revenue Model Transition from on-premise to subscription Maintenance services and consulting services remain strong
Working Capital Model Most projections done as % of revenue Accounts receivable and accounts payable projected based off historical efficiency ratios Days payable outstanding, days sales outstanding
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
Final DCF Valuation
Comparable Analysis: Two Groups
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
