Investment Highlights

Explosive growth: 423% YoY revenue growth and 13% QoQ revenue

growth in 3Q13. For 9M13, ICLD reported $42.9 million in revenue, an

increase of approximately 630% YoY. Primarily through acquisitions, the

Company has grown its proforma revenue and adjusted EBITDA to

approximately $85.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively. These figures

provide a strong base of recurring business and cash flow for ICLD.

Longstanding customer relationships provide strong, recurring revenue

base and in-depth understanding of customer networks. ICLD has long-

term relationships (10+ years) with many of its clients. The Company’s

existing service provider relationships and its in-depth understanding of their

networks (from onsite engineering by ICLD’s professional services group)

gives ICLD a distinct competitive advantage.

The Company’s in-depth understanding of networks in the telecom and cable

industry gives ICLD the knowledge needed to easily transition a client from a

hardware-based infrastructure to a cloud-based infrastructure. According to

Page 3: InterCloud Systems, Inc. (NASDAQCM: ICLD) Company Overviewauto, on demand provisioning of cloud assets through a hierarchy system supported by enterprise-level security, providing

Nicolas Fischbach, director of network and IT platform strategy and

architecture at Colt, an international IT services company, upgrading a client

to a cloud-based infrastructure “starts with the understanding of customer

requirements and how to translate them into a system and a commercial and

technical service wrap. Executives need experience across networks, systems

and applications to operate software defined data centers (SDDC) and there

cannot be single skills/operations team silos.”

We believe more companies will switch to services like ICLD’s due to ease

of service (deal with only one vendor) and the growing trend for companies

to shift from hardware-based network and apps to software-based network

and apps.

ICLD is uniquely positioned to provide managed services that efficiently

transition clients to SDDC. With a large number of enterprises currently

experiencing rapid increases in data growth, driving high demands for a well-

structured cloud services, ICLD is positioned to be in the foreground of one

of the next major advancements in technology. We believe ICLD’s advanced

lead time in the enterprise market will help it procure clients during the

market’s early stages, allowing the Company to grow with its clients as IT

infrastructure continues to shift to the cloud.

We believe ICLD’s understanding of its clients’ networks, gained through

years of onsite engineering work for major carriers, is unrivaled and gives the

Company the necessary expertise to transition businesses from hardware to

cloud-based infrastructures.

An example of this expertise was seen recently when ICLD helped a global

retailer, who owns eight top brands, integrate and consolidate its IT

infrastructure into a private cloud architecture. By providing elastic, highly-

scalable resources, ICLD enabled the retailer to realize millions of dollars in

savings.

Similar to IBM’s onsite engineering strategy, ICLD’s longstanding client

relationships also strongly position the Company to sell new products to its

clients. The similarity to IBM’s strategy serves as an ideal business model for

ICLD. IBM is currently in the process of expanding its cloud computing

business, having invested $2 billion in acquiring SoftLayer Technologies and

committing to spend an additional $1.2 billion for 15 new data centers.

IBM’s growing focus on the cloud is another indicator of the ongoing shift in

IT from hardware to cloud-based infrastructure.

Co-located in the biggest carrier hotels (NYC, San Francisco, and Santa

Clara; along with planned expansion to Atlanta, Chicago, Ireland, Asia,

Dubai, and Europe), ICLD’s cloud services provide highly customizable,

replicable, and scalable architecture to meet a customer’s unique

requirements. Carrier hotels are colocation facilities where many carriers are

present, resulting in economies of scale and increased value to customers.

ICLD compliments this framework with extensive professional services,

providing the building blocks that enable its customers to reduce costs

(scalable, virtualized, low-cost software offered on a pay-per-use basis),

increase efficiencies (data center is transformed into an on-demand service

rather than a rigid, complex, and resource draining set of technology silos)

and take advantage of emerging cloud applications (ICLD’s 100% open-

source architecture ensures an increasing and superior set of apps). ICLD’s

cloud infrastructure is built on Tier 1 technology from vendors such as HP,

Brocade, Intel and more, ensuring that ICLD will provide top-notch service

to its clients.

Announced RentVM acquisition expands ICLD’s technology portfolio

and service offerings. Following a recent run of acquisitions that expanded

ICLD’s revenues and client base, the Company has also begun to add to its

cloud technology. RentVM, which delivers Infrastructure-as-a-Service

technology, expands ICLD’s cloud and managed services capabilities

through its SDDC platform, which offers a self-service portal that allows for

auto, on demand provisioning of cloud assets through a hierarchy system

supported by enterprise-level security, providing clients a streamlined

process to virtualize existing infrastructure and integrate cloud solutions. The

proposed price for the acquisition is 400,000 ICLD common shares.

We anticipate ICLD will continue to expand its SDDC offering, both through

internal development and other potential acquisitions, driving increased

cloud-based recurring revenue, while improving the Company’s technology

offerings.

Acquisitions build customer/revenue base and provide client specific

network expertise necessary to transition to cloud-based infrastructure.

ICLD’s acquisitions include: IPC-NY, an outsourced infrastructure service

provider who provides comprehensive, single-source solutions to design,

construct, implement, operate, and maintain wireless, wireline, fiber optic,

and DAS multi-site networks as well as providing services to IT networks for

enterprise and service provider networks; ADEX, a leading provider of

permanently-outsourced network infrastructure services to Original

Equipment Manufacturers and wireless and wireline carriers, offering

Page 5: InterCloud Systems, Inc. (NASDAQCM: ICLD) Company Overviewauto, on demand provisioning of cloud assets through a hierarchy system supported by enterprise-level security, providing

customers a broad portfolio of services that encompass the major elements of

any network buildout; Rives-Monteiro Engineering, a telecommunications

company who provides specialized maintenance, consultation, and project

management; TNS, an integrator of commercial communication system

infrastructure specializing in the design, installation, and maintenance of

structured cabling systems; and Tropical Communications, a licensed

electrical and underground utility contractor who specializes in all types of

communications wiring, low-voltage and underground utility contracting, as

well as fiber optic systems, splicing, testing and wireless capabilities. Each

acquisition has provided ICLD customers with on-going services while

increasing revenue for the Company. The acquisition of IPC-NY expanded

the Company’s customer base into large Fortune 100 and 500 enterprises. We

expect large enterprises to shift more of their IT infrastructure to the cloud

and drive organic revenue growth for ICLD over the next few years.

Acquisitions

The companies that ICLD acquired all specialize in having an understanding

of a part or all of a client’s networks and infrastructure. This is crucial when

transitioning a client to an SDDC. Cross-selling and upselling of this client

base can substantially increase revenue growth for ICLD. Additionally,

increased scalability will allow the Company to manage larger contracts

which should drive further growth in operating results.

InterCloud awarded up to $7 million in new professional services

contracts. The Company’s Professional Services Group has signed multiple

contracts that are projected to generate revenue of $3.5 million to $7.0

million in 2014. One of the contracts is for the management of a 4G/LTE

wireless network upgrade and expansion, as well as maintenance services, for

a wireless original equipment manufacturer. A second contract award allows

ICLD to provide professional services for network engineering, project

management, and other various senior technical classifications required to

support a major carrier’s network expansions. According to Jake Saunders,

VP at ABI Research, "In 2013, mobile capital expenditure is likely to surge

4.9% to $10.5 billion as North American operators continue upgrading their

networks."

Page 6: InterCloud Systems, Inc. (NASDAQCM: ICLD) Company Overviewauto, on demand provisioning of cloud assets through a hierarchy system supported by enterprise-level security, providing

ICLD is expected to see higher demand for its services as wireless carriers

continue to upgrade their cloud infrastructure and increase virtualization as

part of their expansion strategies. Telecom companies are continuing to

heavily invest in wireless networks, providing large advantages for

experienced companies like ICLD.

Market

The cloud services industry is still in its infancy and is currently growing

at 20% - 40% per year. The global market for the cloud in 2011 was $40.7

billion (Forrester), and is forecasted to reach $130 billion by 2015 (Gartner)

and $241 billion by 2020 (Forrester). “Approximately 59% of all new

spending on cloud computing services originates from North American

enterprises, a trend projected to accelerate through 2016” (Gartner).

Managed Services industry projected to grow to $256.1 billion by 2018.

Managed services provide enterprises with data center architecture, servers,

networks, mobility, infrastructure, communications, and security. The

importance of managed services is its ability to reduce costs and manage

complex infrastructure. Managed services allow companies to scale their

resources as needed, rather than buying and maintaining similar resources,

thus providing flexibility while saving money. According to Scott Samborn,

chief business development officer for Vantage Point Solutions Group LLC,

“businesses can save 30 to 40 percent on their IT costs by switching to a

managed service provider, which is especially significant for small

businesses.”

CRN, the top news source for solution providers and the IT channel, believes

the size of the managed services industry is expected to grow from $142.75

billion in 2013 to $256.05 billion in 2018, while Philbert Shih of Structure

Research expects managed services to grow at 23% - 27% per year.

Infrastructure as a Service is projected to be the fastest growing segment

of cloud computing. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a standardized,

highly-automated offering, where computer resources, complemented by

storage and networking capabilities, are owned and hosted by a service

provider and offered to customers on-demand. Customers are able to self-

provision this infrastructure through web-based user interfaces that serve as

IT operations management consoles.

With more enterprises shifting focus towards cloud-based platforms, aiming

to utilize years’ worth of stored data, the importance of integrating legacy

Page 7: InterCloud Systems, Inc. (NASDAQCM: ICLD) Company Overviewauto, on demand provisioning of cloud assets through a hierarchy system supported by enterprise-level security, providing

systems of record to cloud-based platforms is now vital to a company’s

success. Small and medium-sized businesses are benefiting greatly from the

cheaper costs and increased security. A recent study from Gartner estimates

that IaaS will be the fastest growing area of public cloud computing,

projecting a 41.3% CAGR with the total market expected to reach $24 billion

in 2016.

Platform as a Service is projected to grow at a 26.6% CAGR to $6.45

billion in 2016. Platform as a service (PaaS) offers a cloud computing

platform and a solution stack as a service by providing a broad collection of

application infrastructure services. This unique method to utilize hardware,

operating systems, storage and network capacity over the Internet allows

businesses to develop and run applications at a lower cost. Enterprises adopt

PaaS because of its efficiency, scalability, secure multi-tenancy, and

comprehensive solution. A large number of businesses are adopting PaaS at

high rates, and Gartner estimates a 26.6% CAGR for the market, reaching

$6.45 billion in 2016. Companies like Amazon, Google, IBM, etc. have

already adopted PaaS to further strengthen their businesses. Even Netflix has

shifted to PaaS to sustain a faster data center for its customers, due to high

user demand.

accelerate-cloud-computing-growth/

Software defined data center (SDDC) market expected to grow at a

68.7% CAGR to $5.41 billion in 2018. With the growing advantages of

productivity and cost effective performance, companies all over the country

are progressively adopting cloud computing services, driving high demands

for companies like ICLD, who have the capabilities to expand into SDDC.

Page 8: InterCloud Systems, Inc. (NASDAQCM: ICLD) Company Overviewauto, on demand provisioning of cloud assets through a hierarchy system supported by enterprise-level security, providing

Understanding the importance of hardware configuration being sustained

through software is vital to public and private cloud adopting companies. “It

can bring a high degree of agility and flexibility to the infrastructure,” says

Tony Lock, analyst at Freeform Dynamics. According to PRWeb, the

software defined data center market is expected to be worth $5.41 billion by

2018, representing a 68.7% CAGR from 2013 to 2018. Companies like Cisco

Systems, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and VMWare, have all become key players

in this industry. ICLD’s acquisition of RentVM and its expertise in SDDC

provides substantial value for ICLD and its clients.

Gartner projects the cloud-based security services market to reach $3.1

billion by 2015. "The cloud-based security market remains a viable one,

offering providers many opportunities for expansion," said Ruggero Contu,

research director at Gartner. Such a large adoption of cloud-based services is

driving many organizations to implement cloud-based security controls.

Gartner expects acceptance of, and reliance on, cloud-based security-as-a-

service offerings to increase, based on organizations gaining more experience

with SaaS and more consumer-grade technology being made available to

corporate systems as a result of trends.

Valuation

We are valuing ICLD using the average forward multiple EV/S of 5.4x.

While there are no direct public comps available, we believe that ICLD

deserves a premium to our peer group due to its strong position in one of the

fastest growing areas in technology. This is due to both the Company’s

strong client base and advanced technological position.

Although currently a smaller-sized company, we recognize ICLD’s superior

growth relative to the majority of our peer group. We apply this multiple to

our FY14E revenue per share projection of $9.14 and derive a price target of

$47.10.

We conservatively project ICLD to generate $101 million and $130 million

in revenue in 2014 and 2015, respectively, driven by growth in its recurring

cloud business. Given a higher percentage of revenue generated by cloud

based managed services we are projecting increases in gross margins over

time. We also expect increases in salaries and wages, both on an absolute and

percentage of revenue basis given our belief that the Company will be

investing heavily in sales and marketing.

Risks

There is no guarantee that ICLD will be able to effectively integrate either

completed or possible future acquisitions. ICLD has made multiple

acquisitions, meaning the Company will have to integrate multiple different

offices, along with cloud-based technologies. If they cannot properly integrate

these acquisitions, growth and profitability may be hindered. Prior to

completing many of its acquisitions, ICLD worked with some of these

companies for a year or longer, which should help ease potential integration

issues.

ICLD must continue to adapt to changing technology. Failure to adapt to

changes in technology may cause the Company to lose customers and market

share. ICLD has shown the ability to make acquisitions to improve its

technology, as indicated by the announced acquisition of RentVM.

ICLD is competing against larger companies with greater resources. Better

capitalized companies may be able to devote a greater amount of resources

toward the products/markets that ICLD operates in. ICLD’s long standing

relationships should help it compete against larger competitors.

This report reflects our current beliefs, with respect to future events and

involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including,

but not limited to, economic, competitive, regulatory, technological, key

employees, and general business factors affecting the Company’s operations,

markets, growth, services, products, licenses and other factors.
