'Strong Fundamental Performance in a booming industry and sector. Since the first quarter of 2003, Caneum’s revenue has increased at a 77% aggregate quarterly growth rate (650%+ year over year growth)'

Overview

Caneum, Inc. is a global provider of business process and information technology outsourcing products and services across vertical industries, including technology, energy, government, transportation, financial services, education and healthcare. The company provides a suite of business strategy and planning capabilities to assist companies with their "make versus buy" decisions in the areas of data, network, product development, product maintenance and customer support, and fulfills its services in-house, onshore, near-shore and offshore, depending on the business goals and objectives of its global customers. In parallel, Caneum is opportunistically pursuing accretive acquisitions within its core outsourcing product and service suite in order to broaden its core capabilities, expand its customer base and supplement its organic growth.


Investment Highlights

  • Caneum is the 4th company created by a group of serial entrepreneurs that have a track record of 100% liquidity in 3 deals over 5 years for around $200M in shareholder value. Previous transactions include companies that were sold to Cisco Systems, Level 3 Communications and Internet Security Systems.
     
  • Caneum, Inc. announced that revenue for the July – September 2005 quarter rose 355% from the prior year period.
  • The team has just completed its 10th quarter of record sales and sequential quarterly growth, average quarterly sequential growth was 77% per quarter.
  • Larger companies are now comfortable with outsourcing in general; mid-sized and small companies are increasingly outsourcing to remain competitive. The small and mid cap market is largely untapped.
  • The company believes that Caneum business process and information technology outsourcing service suite, combined with a micro cap roll-up strategy utilizing its public stock as currency, represents a timely and appropriate vehicle to the streamline business processes and operations of companies of all size while simultaneously acquiring many successful private companies under a publicly traded umbrella.
  • The company believes that companies using the outsourcing service suite be afforded the opportunity to accomplish more with constrained internal resources and budgets, but those companies choosing to sell their businesses to Caneum will be able to provide their shareholders a liquidity event for an exit while the acquired company's management team will retain the opportunity to continue to run and grow their companies.
  • Caneum, Inc. announced that it has signed a contract with DIRECTV Operations, LLC for IT-related services for DIRECTV's enterprise platforms with an initial focus on Enterprise Portal, CRM and Supply Chain Management projects.

The Business Model

Caneum’s hybrid model differentiates from the conventional model deployed by other off-shore outsourcing firms. Developed on the experience of the management team in many previous outsourcing engagements, Caneum’s model is uniquely suited for cost efficient outsourcing solutions. In order to mitigate some of the pitfalls of outsourcing, Caneum takes a pragmatic approach labeled as its de-risked engagement model. On a going-forward basis and in order to maximize shareholder value, the business model parameters have been clearly defined by management:

  • Aggressively grow revenues via organic growth and accretive acquisitions—diversify between BPO and ITO
     
  • Optimize market sector positioning with an emphasis on specialization and vertical market segment focus
     
  • Accelerate cash flow self sufficiency to become operationally self sufficient in H1 2006
     

STRONG FUNDAMENTAL PERFORMANCE in a booming industry and sector. Since the first quarter of 2003, Caneum’s revenue has increased at a 77% aggregate quarterly growth rate (650%+ year over year growth). A combination of organic growth, driven by the strength of its business pipeline should help drive top-line revenue growth while reducing the company’s burn.

FUTURE SUCCESS WITH ACQUISITIONS is an important component of the business model. Caneum’s healthy current deal flow demonstrates management’s ability to identify companies that both complete and enhance its product and service offerings. Management also has prior success integrating acquisitions.

UNIQUE BUSINESS MODEL. Caneum features a unique and differentiated business model providing best-of-breed services and solutions through hybrid teams of on-site resources and offsite teams provided by its trusted and proven partners. The company carefully segments its target markets to focus on the most attractive and defensible markets rather than commodity segments.

POTENTIAL FOR PRIVATE EQUITY RETURNS. Given the industry dynamics and Caneum’s business model, an investment in Caneum has the potential for private equity returns with a degree of embedded security, safety and liquidity associated with a publicly traded company.

THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND. Strong sequential and annual revenue growth among leading outsourcing players, such as Cognizant (CYSH), Infosys (INFY), Satyam (SAY) and Wipro (WIT), validate the enormous upside in outsourcing IT services.
 


Industry

Tight capital markets and an extremely challenging macroeconomic backdrop characterize the current business climate, particularly for privately held micro cap software and technology companies. Concurrently, more and more companies of all size are looking to create incremental operating leverage in their business models by exploiting the opportunities and efficiencies afforded by outsourcing non-core business processes and operations to enhance their bottom lines.

As a result of these difficulties and the accompanying market pressures for profitable growth, many quality companies are faced with multiple operating dilemmas. Large, medium and small companies alike are equally faced with the proposition of choosing what is core to their business and focusing exclusively on those items internally while supplementing their incremental business needs with outsourcing to meet those non-core business needs that remain critical to their operational success.

In parallel, the privately held micro cap software and technology companies are faced with the harsh reality that while many of them have survived the economic downturn and still remain profitable (or cash neutral), they continue to suffer from limited financing options to grow and fundamentally have no exit strategy in sight.
