S&P 500SaaS Index SaaS Average TEV / NTM Revenue
Software stocks clawed back most of the losses sustained during 1Q20 and in many cases surpassed February levels, rising23% during 2Q20 and now up 14% YTD.
Public SaaS valuations have expanded 56% during the quarter from 7.9x to 11.8x TEV/NTM revenue, or 0.54x on a growth-adjusted basis.
In the wake of COVID-19, public market investors have sought out businesses with recurring revenue and strong balancesheets and are buying into the thesis that the pandemic has significantly accelerated businesses’ digital transformations.
Software M&A and capital raise activity during 2Q20 increased slightly from 1Q20 but decreased YOY, as most announceddeals were the result of processes kicked off pre-COVID-19 and few processes have gone to market during shelter-at-homeorders.
The deals BCA has seen moving ahead during 2Q20 have generally been between familiar parties (e.g. re-introductions, re-starts, "insider-plus" rounds, etc.); that is starting to change, and BCA expects deal activity to increase as business visibilityand financing terms improve.
