&A activity in the government services sector rebounded to have a strong year in 2010 ollowing the 2009 lull. With
98 deals closed or announced, 2010 deal volume was up 46% over 2009, returning to pre-recession levels. Te increase
was primarily driven by shiting ederal spending priorities and threatened expiration o the Bush tax cuts, which were ultimately
extended through 2012. Te M&A markets also beneted rom a recovering economy and improved nancing terms.
Cyber SecurityCyber Security M&A in
2010 was dominated byprivately held, nimble
mid-sized companies. As
the ederal government
continues to experience
cyber attacks rom terrorist
groups and nation states,
this sector remains ripe
or consolidation as larger
contractors align their
capabilities with ederal
spending priorities.
While deal volume on the whole is on the rise, we saw the hot areas o interest narrow signicantly throughout 2010. Niche, high-end cyber security and intelligence-
ocused companies accounted or the majority o 2010 M&A activity and commanded
premium valuations compared to their generalist inormation technology and
proessional services counterparts. Te hottest segments in 2010 were Cyber Security,
Intel/C4ISR and OCI–driven divestitures.

Intel/C4ISRIntel/C4ISR continues to be
a hot M&A segment due
to the number o availableacquisition targets that
ocus on the areas o
new spending priority.
During 2010, specifc sub–
segments o acquisition
priority included agile web
development, intelligence
data collection and
exploitation, multi–INT data
usion, data visualization,
geospatial intelligence, and
mobile device computing. For
example, CACI completed
two acquisitions in the 2nd
hal o 2010 to ulfll its
capability gap in the growing
geospatial intelligence
priority market.

espite ederal budget pressures, increased competition, protests and delayed procurements, and rumors o insourcing, M&
activity in 2011 will be ueled by strategic buyers’ interests in realigning their portolios with long–term spending prioritie
Strategic buyers, aced with lower organic growth rates, continue to analyze their portolios and acquire rms that ll capability
gaps to position them in high priority markets that create additional nancial growth in protable areas. Tereore, we expect 201government services deal volumes to be consistent with 2010 – and the ollowing sectors will experience the lion’s share o this
activity in 2011:
2011 Government Services M&A Outlook
CYBER SECURITY
Te Federal Government continues to all well short o its
cyber personnel targets, causing agencies to rely heavily on
contractors to ulll this government-wide mission-criticalneed. Considering the Government’s track record o ailing to
draw top talent away rom the more lucrative private sector,
this trend o heavy cyber contractor reliance will continue
into 2011 and beyond, ueling M&A.
SMART POWER
here is an evolving shit towards smart power, as thePentagon realizes the need or an increased civilian role
in promoting the stability, security, and reconstruction o
post-conlict areas. International development is a key
element o U.S. national security, as nation-building
activities boost political stability, reduce regional conicts,
and weaken terrorist networks. Contractors with signicant
exposure to deense cuts will target rms with sot power
capabilities as U.S. military orces begin to transition out o
the Middle East.
VIRTUALIZATION/CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing is undamental to the Obama Administra-
tion’s technology strategy – requiring more eciency out o
I as a whole – by expanding usability and accessibility while
reducing costs. Consistent with OMB’s 25 Point Plan, agen-
cies will be implementing a “Cloud First” policy, requiring a
signicant amount o contractor support in the near term.
DATA FUSION
Intelligence operations have transitioned rom the monitorio large military orces to the tracking and locating o speci
individuals in remote areas. Te IC is currently aced with a
overabundance o inormation collected through thousands
o satellites, sensors, UAV’s, and ISR platorms manuacture
throughout the past decade. Te IC is thereore challenged
nd technologies and solutions that assimilate and transorm
this abundance o data into actionable intelligence in real-ti
so that decision makers in theatre can ulll mission
requirements.
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION
Te 2009 National Inrastructure Protection Plan
consolidated a wide range o eforts to protect and secure
the nation’s critical inrastructure and key resources into onprogram. Nonetheless, the U.S. energy grid and other critic
inrastructure systems remain highly vulnerable to terrorist
threats. Encompassing aspects o cyber security and cloud
computing, contractors with inrastructure protection
capabilities and long-standing relationships with DHS /
DOE will be prime acquisition targets in 2011.

imilar to M&A activity, government services industry IPOs also accelerated in 2010. A year ater Global Deense echnolog
Systems, Inc. (GTEC) tested the IPO waters, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp (Booz) & KEYW Holding Corp (KEYW
ollowed with successul oferings. Tis was the rst time that multiple government services companies went public in the same y
since 2006 (SAIC & DynCorp) – a eat we expect will be repeated in coming years as the public markets continue to stabilize.
ough the companies share some similarities, a comparison of the KEYW & Booz IPO’s provides insightful analysis on current
government services valuation dynamics. Compared to Booz, KEYW achieved a signicantly higher IPO valuation due to the
Company’s niche cyber security capabilities, IC-ocused customer set, rapid revenue growth and expanding protability outlook.
Te exhibit below provides a comparison:

KEYW’s positioning within faster growing markets with signicant barriers to entry (e.g, security clearances) resulted in a premium
valuation compared to Booz. As evidenced by recent M&A transactions in the space, niche cyber security rms ocused on the
IC (and in particular, the NSA) demand premium valuations compared to their more general counterparts with broad DoD and
Federal Civilian customer sets. Tese broader I-ocused rms are more susceptible to budgetary headwinds, intense competition,and insourcing threats, resulting in reduced values. KEYW also continues to execute on its M&A growth strategy with acquisition
closing deals with Sycamore. US, Inc. and Everest echnology Solutions since the IPO ling. Tis demonstrated execution has
driven the company’s valuation even higher since ling, as shown below:
Until the aorementioned
IPO’s, the universe o
publicly traded governmentservices rms was quickly
diminishing. Stanley,
Argon, L-1 Identity
Solutions (pending) and
Applied Signal echnology
(pending) all announced
transactions during 2010 –
a signicant consolidation
or the market as a whole.Going orward, we expect
the universe o public
buyers to once again
expand through new IPOs,
driven by more stringent
OCI’s and a public market
environment that is more
receptive to IPO’s.
