Selected Analyst Commentary – Compelling Valuation for Five9 Shareholders “As it stands, FIVN is being taken out at 23x EV/R on C2022E, which is the second highest ever takeout multiple for a public SaaS company. Even if you put more realistic estimates in there for Five9, it’s a hefty price tag, equaled in multiple only by Zoom among other potential bidders. “We’ve enjoyed our run with FIVN – a 50x return for a stock that was $4 in early 2015 – but believe this is the right decision for both shareholders and the business.” – Canaccord (July 21, 2021) “Valuation fair for both parties. The acquisition price implies 22x F2023 revenue for FIVN. For ZM, it's a strong strategic fit that could ultimately be accretive to revenue growth. ZM is currently trading at 20.8x our F23 revenue forecast.” – Baird (July 19, 2021)
Selected Analyst Commentary – Upside of Combined Platform “…from a purely strategic standpoint, the growing scale and gravity of the Zoom platform married with the premier CCaaS technology in the market, makes a truly formidable platform in the cloud communications industry. We are reiterating our Buy rating on ZM shares, and view the combination with a particularly positive forward outlook. “…we believe the business combination makes Zoom an obvious front-runner to capture market share in cloud communications on a go-forward basis.” – BTIG (July 19, 2021) “…unifying these technologies into a single platform should create a pretty significant cross-sell opportunity, [and this] is an all-stock transaction, which tells us that Five9 management, who we take to be some of the smartest in the space, are pretty bullish on the post-merger playbook.” – Canaccord (July 21, 2021)
