Merger and acquisition (M&A) volume across the broader economyexperienced a significant rebound in Q3, rising 28.1% quarter-over-quarter,indicative of a recovering deal environment. Despite a positive recovery in Q3activity, near-term challenges remain with concerns about a resurgence inCOVID-19 infections. However, robust vaccine efficacy rates and theseasonality of the virus have driven estimates that indicate herd immunityoccurring in the second half of 2021, according to McKinsey.1 As vaccine andpolitical uncertainties ease, Capstone Headwaters believes 2021 will yield awindow of opportunity for sellers, as private equity buyers remain flush withcapital and strategic buyers become less concerned with their own liquidity.

The Security Solutions industry has displayed defensibility in Residentialmarkets, while experiencing softness in Commercial applications as enterprisesdelayed new security projects in Q2. However, commercial activity modestlyrebounded in Q3. In addition, emphasis on public and employee safety,accelerated by the pandemic, has promoted demand for advanced systemsthat allow real-time visibility across facilities. “Smart” technologies haveadvanced security applications as end users demand automated, real-timesurveillance and access control. As a result, leading players have continued toinvest organically and inorganically to capitalize on long-term growth trends.

Resilience in the industry has been manifested within each segment,rebounding and within 20% of their 52-week high EBITDA multiples. Asdemand pressures ease, the industry is poised to continue its upwardtrajectory. As of November 10th, the Diversified IT Services & Integration(+91.6%), Access Control (+49.5%), Alarm Monitoring (+33.1%), and VideoSurveillance (+16.4%) segments have seen robust growth from March lows.

TRENDS & DRIVERS

COVID-19 Impacts: The virus has significantly disruptedcommercial security demand, as enterprises delayedprojects to eliminate new costs and preserve capital.However, ADT (NYSE:ADT) is beginning to see an uptick incommercial sales which have experienced a modestsequential increase compared to Q2, according to itsrecent earnings call.2 Meanwhile, residential installers,service, and equipment providers have outperformedpeers, especially for those with service and monitoringcontracts that generate defensible recurring monthlyrevenue (RMR). Lockdown measures and socialdistancing guidance have forced a significant increase intime spent at home. As a result, many residential usershave placed heightened emphasis on home securitysystems, evidenced by Allegion’s (NYSE:ALLE) double digitgrowth in its Residential segment in Q3.3

IP Video Surveillance and VSaaS Market: With recentadvancements in internet protocol (IP) video surveillanceand video surveillance-as-a-service (VSaaS), which isprojected to grow at a 16% compound annual growthrate to reach $4.7 billion by 2025 (Market and Markets),4end users can effectively survey facilities much moreefficiently while benefiting from a reduction in humancapital security costs. Trends in surveillance systems haveshifted from proprietary, higher cost systems to IP basedsystems, which utilize common protocols to transfer data,providing scalability and flexibility to existing networks inaddition to increasing storage capacity via cloud-utilization. The convergence of operational technology(OT) and information technology (IT) has led to anemergence of IP security access control and surveillanceequipment, providing new opportunities for technology-focused security operators. As demand for securityanalytics presents new smart platforms and equipment,service providers must invest, organically andinorganically, to fulfill the shifted demand landscape.

Analog Surveillance Video Surveillance IP Surveillance

Analog surveillance has certain disadvantages such as higher complexity in cabling, limited number of network devices, and high installation and operational costs.

After analog surveillance, digital era produced some advantages that reduce system complexity with the help of fiber optic cable. Still the video surveillance system is not scalable/flexible, and the cost of installation of the system is high.

To eliminate these disadvantages, software designers used Internet Protocol as a platform to transfer data. Use of IP delivers the scalability and flexibility to existing networks. Additionally, the use of cloud-based solutions increases storage capacity.

Shifting Trends in IP Surveillance Systems

Notably, ADT has released its Blue smart security devices,catering toward residential DIY customers. In addition,ADT entered into a long-term commercial agreement withGoogle (Nasdaq:GOOG), highlighted on page eight, tocreate next generation smart home products andsolutions. The partnership highlights traditional serviceproviders advancing investment into the smart home andremote access and monitoring space.

Video Analytics Projected Market Growth

Video Analytics: The Video Analytics market is projectedto reach $4.9 billion in 2020, with a growth rate of 19% toreach $11.7 billion by 2025, according to Market andMarkets.5 Historically, video surveillance has been humancapital intensive, and heavily inefficient, with less than 1%of all video surveillance footage viewed, according toELERTS.6 As security systems across Transportation,Public Safety, as well as new contract tracing systemspermeate our cities and facilities, demand for analyticsplatforms as well as equipment that supports their use ismission critical to support real-time threat detection.Notably, Motorola has utilized M&A to bolster its IPsurveillance and video management offerings, acquiringthree companies in 2020 (highlighted on page five).

M&A OVERVIEW

4

Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity through year-to-date (YTD) has trailed 2019 levels by ~30%, driven bydecreased deal activity in Q2. In Q1, there were 37 dealsin the Security Solutions industry, modestly lower thanhistoric Q1 levels while Q2 activity fell substantially withonly 18 deals. As the pandemic swept across the globe,strategic and private equity buyers focused on internal riskmitigation strategies to assess operational and liquidityconcerns. In addition, sellers have largely delayed exits asowners assess valuation impacts and look for enhancedvisibility into capital markets. However, transaction activityrebounded in Q3, rising 67% quarter-over-quarter asbuyers selectively seek quality assets that have displayeddefensibility through the COVID-19 downturn.

Private equity (PE) buyers accounted for 36.6% oftransaction volume, consistent with levels seen in 2019.Notably, add-on activity composed 26.0% of deal volumewhile platform investments accounted for 10.6%. Theflight toward add-on activity, as opposed to large buyouts,has been driven by scarcity of debt availability, as leveragelevels declined 0.25x to 1.25x while pricing increased ~75to 125 basis point increases, according to CapstoneHeadwaters' Debt Advisory Group. The challenging, albeitimproving, lending environment has forced PE buyers toput platform investments on hold in favor of smaller,strategic tuck ins to stimulate growth in existing platforminvestments. However, as leverage and pricing dynamicscontinue to recover, PE buyers are likely to return tobuyout activity, supported by the war chest of deployablecapital amounting to $1.2 trillion in 2019 (Pitchbook).7

Strategic buyers have accounted for 63.4% of totaltransaction volume. Capstone’s conversations withleading strategics have indicated that many major playersare opportunistically looking to pursue acquisitions as theessential industry has maintained relatively steady cashflow and liquidity positions. However, many privatebusiness owners considering a sale of their companies areplacing those plans on hold until financial performancerecovers and valuation expectations better align withstrategic or financial buyers. Notably, ADT (NYSE:ADT)has indicated it continues to seek acquisitions in theCommercial market. With a historic playbook of tuck-inacquisitions, amounting to 10 deals since 2018, thecompany has only completed two deals in 2020 – bothoccurring pre-COVID. However, many strategics havecompleted deals in the post-COVID environment, seekingto bolster its security technology to augment existingequipment offerings and further align with long-termindustry trends. Notably, Johnson Controls acquiredhome security and control systems provider Qolsys,reflecting the heightened demand for ease of integrationremote home surveillance and access control. In addition,Motorola (NYSE:MSI) has bolstered its security offeringswith acquisitions in August of Callyo, a mobile technologyfor law enforcement body cameras, and Pelco ($110million), a manufacturer of professional video surveillanceand security system products and technologies(highlighted on next page).

As the market stabilizes and projected performancebecomes more visible, Capstone expects a robust reboundin M&A activity within the Security Solutions market.

Security Solutions | December 2020

Google (Nasdaq:GOOG) closed a $450 investment in ADT, allowing ADT to reduce debt and fund future growth. In addition,ADT and Google entered a long-term partnership to create next generation smart home security offerings, leveraging Nest’sleading hardware and services, powered by Google’s machine learning, with ADT’s installation, services, and monitoringsolutions as well as a new end-to-end platform under development. Despite commercial headwinds driven by the downturn,ADT remains optimistic in its commercial business. “Looking ahead, while there are still a number of economic and politicaluncertainties, we're optimistic about our ability to compete in the commercial space and returning to growth in 2021. High-quality commercial tuck-in acquisitions will continue to be a part of our playbook. And as the economy recovers, we remainoptimistic about this part of our business,” commented James DeVries, CEO of ADT, in its Q3 earnings call.

Analysis: ADT’s revenue slightly declined YOY, with monitoring and relatedservices (M&S) revenue falling 4%, reflecting ADT’s sale of ADT Canada inNovember 2019.12 Offsetting the decline in M&S revenue was a RMRincrease of 10% in the U.S. as a result of improvement in average priceswhile installation and other revenue increased 22%. The rise in installationand other revenues was driven by higher installation sales in its Residentialsegment, offsetting commercial installations declines as a result of COVID-19headwinds and the sale of ADT Canada.

Allegion intends to continue to utilize M&A to stimulate growth, with heightened focus on seeking electronics and softwarecomponents as well as traditional mechanical access solutions. “We will also take a hard look at traditional mechanicalaccess -- opportunities in markets where we think we can win and they have sufficient scale, size. We've, I think, done 20-plusacquisitions of different sizes. Size -- scale and size matter. A small acquisition, especially in a mechanical space, doesn't -- ittakes all the human capital, so we're leaning more towards technology, software and assets of size,” commented DavidPetratis, Chairman, CEO, and President of Allegion, in its Q3 earnings call.

Analysis: Allegion, consistent with current industry dynamics, experienced arevenue decline of 2.7%, driven by softness in its non-residential divisionwhich experienced low double digit revenue declines.13 Year-to-dateelectronics sales have declined mid-single digits as discretionary commercialprojects are delayed. This was offset by its residential division, generatinglow double digit growth. However, when comparing to Q2 2020, thecompany delivered ~24% revenue growth in Q3, indicating an improvementin industry conditions and a recovery in the broader market for securitysolutions.

Q3 Performance Highlights:• Revenue in Q3 of $728.4 million is down 2.7% YOY and 3.4% on an

organic basis• Adjusted operating margin of 23.3%, reflects a 20 bps increase YOY• Improved revision to 2020 revenue guidance, indicating a projected

decline of 6-6.5%• Adjusted operating income of $169.4 million represents a 2.1% decline

YOY, driven by COVID-induced reduction in volume
