Please reference the following case study and related spreadsheet as part of the discussion for this week and subsequent weeks: ITStaffing, Inc. ("ITS" or the "Company") is one of the fastest growing IT staffing firms in the United States. The company matches highly-skilled IT professionals with temporary assignments and full-time positions across a broad range of large- to medium-sized corporations. During the last ten years, ITS has successfully scaled its operations across multiple offices, resulting in extraordinary revenue growth. The Company is still owned by its three founders, David, Eduardo and Andy. Over the past year, Andy has expressed an interest in cashing out of ITS in order to pursue other ventures. Although David and Eduardo remain highly committed to the business, they have also considered cashing in on their hard work and have explored a sale of the business. Although no formal M&A process has yet been conducted, two offers are on the table pending further due diligence. The first offer is a cash and stock offer for the entire company from a well-capitalized strategic buyer. The second offer is a minority investment from a financial sponsor, using a mix of debt and sponsor equity to finance the transaction. In recent weeks, Andy has been increasingly pushing for a "broad process" in order to secure the highest possible value for his stake. David, however, has been having second thoughts about selling ITS, and fears that a sale process could potentially result in ITS losing its competitive advantage. ITS Background In 2001, after working for four years in the staffing industry and observing an ever-increasing demand for highly-skilled IT professionals, David decided to start his own firm. Joining him was co-worker and friend Andy, and former colleague Eduardo. Starting from a 900 square foot office in Coconut Grove, Florida, David, Andy and Eduardo grew their business to 16 offices in major metropolitan areas across the U.S. The Company is now one of the leading IT staffing firms in the nation, providing clients with a range of highly-skilled IT professional's on a project or full-time basis. ITS has distinguished itself in the industry by being able to consistently recruit the highest quality IT professionals and match their unique skills to meet a client's most pressing IT needs, as well as deliver faster placement results and provide a more consistent level of service than their competitors. Furthermore, since inception, ITS has focused on building a scalable business model for expansion into new markets, and has been able to successfully open new offices with limited capital investment. During the Company's ten year history it has successfully scaled its operations, with revenue growing from $9.4 million in 2003 to $203.3 million in 2011 (a CAGR of 46.9%). EBITDA was $38.6 million in 2011. Despite the economic uncertainty over the last few years, including a decline in temporary staffing penetration, ITS has continued to grow rapidly, with revenues increasing at a CAGR of 17.0% since 2008. More impressively, as of 2011, the Company's EBITA margins were more than double those of any of its public comparable companies. Situation Early in the summer, with the U.S. economy appearing to be heading towards a recovery, Andy received news of a large acquisition within the employment services industry. The deal, valued at 14.9x the target's LTM EBIT, prompted Andy to speak informally with a banker he had previously met. After providing the banker with some general information, the banker told Andy that ITS was worth "no less than $300 million" and "probably a lot more." Excited about the opportunity to be worth "nearly nine figures," Andy began pitching the idea of a sale to David and Eduardo. Hearing that ITS may be on the market, two parties, StaffCo International, Inc. ("Sta Co") and High Growth Equity ("HGE") both expressed significant interest, submitting nonbinding bids, including proposed deal structures, based on information each had received from "credible sources." Background on the Offers ITS has recently been approached by two potential buyers, StaffCo and HGE. Consideration for each of the proposed transactions is outlined below: The StaffCo Offer Purchase of 100% of ITS' common equity Sellers would receive: a. Cash consideration of $220 million b. 5.671 million shares of StaffCo's common equity, valued at $140 million The HGE Offer Purchase of 40% of ITS' common equity for $95 million Term loan of $60 million, at Libor + 700 basis points (Libor floor of 150 basis points) Subordinated debt of $20 million, at 12% cash interest & 2% PIK Interest Up to $15 million in additional cash consideration, subject to the vesting schedule outlined in the appendix Cash to sellers equates to $175 million StaffCo Background StaffCo International, Inc., headquartered in Seattle, Washington, is a global employment services firm with over $4.5 billion in revenue and a market cap of nearly $5.0 billion. The company offers temporary staffing and permanent placement services in the accounting and finance, IT, legal, marketing and administrative fields. StaffCo has more than 450 locations in over 20 countries worldwide. ITS' capabilities and client relationships represent a great complement to StaffCo' s existing portfolio. StaffCo, which has historically focused on accounting and finance staffing, is looking to build out its IT segment, which currently represents less than 10% of the company's total revenues. StaffCo also views the acquisition as an opportunity to shift its staffing mix towards higher-skilled professionals. Although StaffCo has only made one acquisition since 2008, prior to the economic downturn the company had been highly acquisitive and was well respected in the industry for its ability to seamlessly integrate acquired companies into its portfolio. HGE Background High Growth Equity, headquartered in New York, New York, is a private equity firm that focuses on making minority investments in leading middle market companies. HGE, which has approximately $2 billion in equity capital under management and is currently investing its $1.2 billion HGE II Fund, seeks to invest in companies operating in the retail, consumer products, financial services and business services sectors. The fud typically invests between $60 million to $120 million in companies having enterprise values between $100 million and $400 million and EBITDA in excess of $15 million. In the past, HGE has successfully invested in two employment services firms and is excited about the opportunity to invest in a company focused on higher-skilled labor. If a deal were to close, HGE would expect each of ITS' three founders to remain with the Company for a period of no less than three years. Additionally, HGE would seek to create a seven member board, with the ability to elect three of the seven members. Industrv Highlights In the U.S., the staffing industry is large and expanding, generating revenues of over $97 billion in 2010, $87.4 billion from temporary and contract staffing and $9.7 billion from search and permanent placement services. The staffing industry is anticipated to grow faster and add more new jobs over the next decade than just about any other industry in the U. S. The staffing industry has been progressively shifting towards higher skilled and higher paid positions. Many industry forecasts predict a significant shortage of qualified workers in the IT, nursing, and physician fields. A key risk for staffing companies is overall economic growth, as staffing is highly correlated to GDP. During periods of low demand, pricing becomes increasingly competitive and gross margins typically decrease. IT staffing is the largest segment in the professional staffing space, accounting for approximately 43% of all professional staffing revenue. ~ Over the past decade, the Internet has become critical to the operations of many businesses. For many companies it is uneconomical to hire full-time IT staff, and relying on temporary staffing presents a better solution. The IT staffing segment has recovered faster than most other staffing segments during the last two years, driven by strong investment in IT by corporations, new technological advancements, and a shortage of qualified workers with IT skills. IT staffing revenue increased by 13% in 2011 and is expected to increase by 12% in 2012. Although there has been a fair amount of consolidation recently, the IT staffing segment remains highly fragmented. The three largest global temporary-staffing firms have acquired three of the largest IT temporary-staffing firms in the United States during the last two years. Other Factors to Consider in a Potential Transaction David, ITS' CEO, owns 50% of the business, while Andy (CFO) and Eduardo (COO) each own 25%. Each of the Company's three founders receives a salary of $50,000. Industry practices suggest that a $350,000 salary is considered appropriate for David's position, while a $250,000 salary is appropriate for Andy and Eduardo's positions. In 2010 and 2011, the founders have issued special dividends of $10 million and $12 million, respectively. If ITS is not sold, it is anticipated that the Company would continue to issue such dividends. Recently, David and Andy have had conflicting opinions regarding ITS' business outlook. While David is optimistic that margins will remain high, even grow, Andy is concerned that increasing competition and ITS' ever expanding branch network, as well as a relatively weak U.S. economy, may begin to place pressure on the Company's margins. Similarly, David and Andy have had conflicting opinions regarding ITS' top line growth. While Andy sees growth slowing given increased competition, David is optimistic that the Company can continue to expand rapidly.
