Q4 Market Update And Observations What A Year Of Strategic Activity It Was In 2015. Q4 Was Another Very Busy Quarter For Strategic Moves. Exits: M&A & IPO Activity
Investment Activity
Valuations
Industry Observations
§ The cybersecurity M&A market continued at a record pace in 2015, totaling 142 transactions, representing a 61% increase over the five-year low-point in 2012 § There were several large notable M&A transactions during Q4 – Elastica ($280M), Lancope ($453M), TippingPoint ($300M) and Vormetric ($400M) § Mimecast priced during Q4 ($10/share); Dell Secureworks and Veracode remain on file and Tenable Network Security and Tanium are on IPO watch § Q4 saw a surge in large rounds yet again with eight companies raising $50M+, of which three raised at least $75M – Forescout ($75M), Tenable Network ($250M), Code42 ($86M) § 2016 could be a golden era of cybersecurity investing with ample capital and an increasing threat landscape; however, some are predicting a measured slow-down leaving a slew of Seed/Series A funded companies without a Series B sponsor…and in desperate need of a ‘home’ § There were some notable declines during Q4 – our High Growth Security comps were -7% during Q4 and +18% YTD while our Low Growth Security comps were +6% during Q4 and -9% YTD, relative to the NASDAQ which was +8% during Q4 and +6% YTD § Rapid7, Sophos and Mimecast were trading -5%, +9%, and -4% relative to their IPO price, respectively, at the end of Q4 § Threat Intelligence in the spotlight during the quarter – M&A and significant capital raise activity § Spending on cybersecurity totaled an estimated $77 Billion for 2015 and projected to reach $170 Billion in 2020, but is it sufficient? Organizations spent another $491 Billion recovering from attacks in 2015 – 6x the spend to thwart them § Predictions abound for 2016 – buzz words too – IoT, ransomeware, hacktivism, autonomic defense, user behavior monitoring, machine learning, adversary intelligence, cyberwar (?!)
