Summary of discovered trends in the following 1Q19 SaaS M&A report.
• Buyer appetite for small and medium sized SaaS targets (SMBs) remained strong in 1Q19.
• The highest percent of SaaS targets in 1Q19 were SMBs with less than 100 employees (56.5% of targets),
were founded five to nine years ago (33.8% of targets), and were bootstrapped (66.3% of targets).
• About a third of transactions in 1Q19 had a revenue multiple greater than 6.0x EV/Revenue. Targets with revenue of
$50-$100M posted the highest median revenue multiple of 5.3x EV/Revenue, while targets with revenue of $100M or

• In terms of deal count, CRM & Marketing led all other product categories, posting 37 transactions, while Healthcare
software led vertical targets, comprising 22.9% of all vertical deals in 1Q19.
• The high demand for Healthcare software is due to the market’s large total addressable market, as the
traditionally lagging industry is now catching up to speed in terms of implementing tech solutions.
• Numerous FinTech targets remained among notable high-profile transactions (greater than $500M), including the
acquisition of EllieMae, eFront, and PIETech. This segment comprised 8.6% of all vertical SaaS deals in 1Q19.
• HR & Talent Management software deals remained among other notable transactions and included deals such as
Ultimate Software Group, Jobvite, and Sage Payroll Business.
• As the U.S. continues to experience all-time low unemployment rates, software solutions are in high demand to
