An impartial, reliable, market-driven valuation of an Information
Technology professional service organization requires more than an
independent third party with basic financial skills. A comprehensive
assessment requires an advisor familiar not only with public comparables
and transaction multiples, but also with an understanding of the
tangible and intangible qualities that drive corporate value. Ideally,
the advisor possesses both specialized financial training and certification
with prior organizational experience in various Information Technology
sectors. Finally, the advisor is free from management’s expectations
of value, removed from compromising conflicts of interest. Lyndhurst
Partners is such an advisor.
In general, our process includes, but is not limited to the following:
Analysis of relevant general economic and market conditions,
demographics and industry data collected through independent research
of publicly-available resources;
Discussions with the Company, and/or others that are knowledgeable
about the Company to gain an understanding of the nature of the
business, its history, its future prospects, and to obtain an explanation
and clarification of data provided;
Analysis of the Company’s operational and financial records
and other corporate information to gain an understanding of its
current and historical financial condition and performance;
Analysis of the Company’s historical and future earnings
and cash flow;
Search for, analysis of, and comparison to potentially similar
companies that are publicly traded and/or which have been recently
acquired in arms-length transactions; and
Prior transactions involving the business, if any.
