Nonfarm Nonfinancial Capex ($B)
Sources: Bloomberg, U.S. Federal Reserve, S&P Capital IQ
Corporate profits more than doubled between Q4 2008 and Q4 2014 (113% increase)
As a result, non-financial U.S. companies have $1.6+ trillion in cash, while the subset of S&P 500 Industrial companies have grown cash balances by an average of 76% since 2008
These profits have also funded strong increases in capital expenditures levels for U.S. corporations, especially in technology, automation, and capital goods

Crude Oil (WTI) Spot Prices and Forward Curve
Impact of World Liquid Fuels Supply on Crude Pricing
Plummeting Oil Prices Market Update

Sources: Bloomberg, U.S. Energy Information Administration (1) Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research, “Lower Oil Prices:
More Sugarplums than Lumps of Coal”, December 19, 2014 (2) International Monetary Fund
Crude oil prices are ~50% below the mid-2014 peak, a precipitous decline matched only three times previously
Market perception is the current environment will persist through 1H 2015, with crude oil staying near its current pricing range
Many industrial companies with heavy exposure to oil & gas are in a "wait and see" mode
Downstream and midstream will not be as affected as upstream
Effectively provides U.S. consumers a “tax cut” of $125 billion-$150 billion1
Lower oil pricing could further boost U.S. GDP ~0.5% in 20152

Leading Provider of Warranty Protection Products: Profitable Growth Strategy Development
Value Creation
18
Key Business Challenges
PE-owned provider of warranty protection products had experienced a track record of revenue and EBITDA growth
Despite this success, performance gains highly concentrated in legacy geographies
As PE firm considered exit, positioning the firm as a growth engine required the development of a geographic expansion playbook and demonstration of early wins
Approach
Partnering closely with the Private Equity sponsors and company leadership team, Houlihan Lokey’s Strategic Consulting team led a strategic growth effort to:
Develop understanding of specific drivers of prior success
Identify high-potential markets for sales and marketing investment
Identify other levers to increase revenue and profitability (e.g., price)
Develop strategy and detailed “playbook” for execution
Realized Benefits
Established leadership aligned strategic roadmap to accelerate revenue and EBITDA growth
Management team executed series of geographic expansion pilots to demonstrate business growth potential
Strategy and pilot program results provided foundation for capturing premium multiple as part of the sales process

Summary Value Creation
22
A disciplined approach to value creation – one that goes beyond financial engineering and pure cost cutting – is necessary
That approach should judiciously balance initiatives focused on operational excellence and strategic positioning
Such approaches and initiatives should be planned (and executed) earlier in the investment cycle rather than being shoe-horned in right before exit
Well-executed set of initiatives can deliver significant and differentiated value to key stakeholders and shareholders
Exiting corporate investments now is attractive
One wants to be as ready as possible prior to any harvesting event
Advancing new initiatives can drive incremental value
