Defense & Government Services Update
1
Jefferies LLC February 2016 /
2015 Defense & Government Services Year in Review
The Budget
FY 2016 Presidential Budget, recently modified and supported by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, requested $522 billion in base spending and $59 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations, representing an increase of $26 billion and decrease of $5 billion, respectively
Continued focus on Operations and Maintenance as well as Procurement in efforts to maintain security and stability while increasing budgetary efficiency
Although U.S. Defense budget still under pressure, investors have gained clarity around budget outlook
Public Market Performance
Public markets were relatively flat in 2015 with the S&P 500 declining by 0.7% over the course of the year
Defense stocks were mixed compared to the broader markets
─ Strongest performers were the Primes, up 12.1% on average over the course of the year
─ Midcap Defense and Government Service were mixed with some winners and some losers
Public valuations in the sector remained strong with forward multiples relatively flat over the year but up significantly from cyclical troughs around 5.0x from 2008 – 2010
─ Defense Primes forward EBITDA multiples ended the year at 9.6x compared to 9.1x at the beginning of 2015 and up from cyclical lows of 4.1x in 2009
─ Midcap Defense forward EBITDA multiples ended the year at 9.7x compared to 9.3x at the beginning of 2015 and up from cyclical lows of 5.4x in 2011
─ Government Services forward EBITDA multiples ended the year at 9.1x compared to 9.3x at the beginning of 2015 and up from cyclical lows of 4.7x in 2012
Mergers & Acquisitions
M&A activity was robust in 2015
─ Record year in terms of aggregate deal value with over $24 billion worth of M&A in the sector – a level not seen since 2007
There have been a number of transformative deals in the sector in 2015, most notably Lockheed Martin’s acquisition of Sikorsky for $9.0 billion and Harris’ $4.6 billion merger with Exelis
Deal activity led by consolidation in the Government Services sector, notably CACI’s $550 million acquisition of L-3 NSS, CSC Government Services spin-off from CSC and subsequent merger with SRA, SAIC’s $790 million acquisition of Scitor, and Engility’s $1.1 billion acquisition of TASC
Defense Primes divesting services business
─ BAE attempting to divest two scale government services businesses, but ultimately decided to retain assets
─ Lockheed Martin exploring strategic alternatives for its government services business
─ L-3 Communications divested its government services business (NSS) to CACI
Financial buyers capitalizing on robust capital markets
─ Buyers capitalizing on cheap capital and view of industry “bottom” to pay aggressive multiples
─ Veritas Capital’s acquisition of Alion, Carlyle Group’s acquisition of Novetta
Financing
The sector remained active in the leveraged finance market in 2015 despite overall leveraged finance volumes being down
─ ~$12 billion of financings were completed
─ ~35% of volume was for LBOs and acquisitions
─ ~40% of deals were for sponsor backed companies
StandardAero, Novetta, Alion and MB Aerospace were notable leveraged finance transactions in 2015
High Yield issuance ended the year with volume of $262 billion with the index yielding 8.76% – up 211 bps from the beginning of the year
New institutional loan volume was $258 billion for the year with about 60% of deals for LBOs and acquisitions Source: Capital IQ. Market data as of December 31, 2015.

Jefferies LLC February 2016 /
Summary of the U.S. FY 2016 DoD Budget
Key Points
The U.S. FY 2016 Presidential Budget Request, issued in Q1 2015, was modified and supported by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (“BBA15”), which passed on Nov. 2
─ Requests $522 billion in base spending – an increase of $26 billion over the previous year
Along with the base budget, BBA15 requests $59 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), down from $64 billion in FY 2015
BBA15 builds upon the three pillars of the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) strategy
─ Protect the homeland, build security globally, and project power and win decisively
BBA15 also reflects the five major priorities given in the 2014 QDR strategy
─ Transition to the Asia-Pacific
─ Maintain a strong commitment to security and stability in Europe and the Middle East
─ Sustain a global approach to countering violent extremists
─ Prioritize and protect key investments in technology
─ Reinvigorate efforts to build innovative partnerships
BBA15 can support the 2014 QDR strategy unless sequester level cuts return

2015 Commercial Aerospace Year in Review
Industry Dynamics
Global airline profitability is at all time highs, with $33.0b in industry profits estimated for 2015E, compared to $19.9b in 2014 and $10.6b in 2013
Traffic demand remains robust, growing 6.8% over 2014 YTD levels as of October 2015
Several years of strong order activity, minimal cancellations and delays to major new aircraft programs have led to record high backlogs representing 7-8 years of production visibility at projected build rates
Total industry backlog remains at record levels – 51% of the current active global fleet
Public Market Performance
Public valuations in sector remained robust at year end, but have fallen slightly from cyclicals highs reached in H1 2015
─ Structures comparables are trading at 8.1x TEV / Forward EBITDA, below high of 9.7x
─ Services comparables are trading at 10.1x TEV / Forward EBITDA, below high of 10.9x
─ Electro-Mechanical comparables are trading at 11.5x TEV / Forward EBITDA, below high of 12.9xx
─ Diversified Industrial / Aero comparables are trading at 9.8x, below high of 10.4x
Structures, Services, Electro-Mechanical and Diversified Industrial / Aero indices are up +282, +132, +291, and +157, respectively, since their lows in December 2008
Companies actively seeking acquisitions to take advantage of premium public market valuations
Mergers & Acquisitions
M&A activity continued to be robust in 2015
─ 92 acquisitions were announced in the global aerospace market for a aggregate value of over $81 billion
─ Over 80 transactions have been announced annually since 2011
There have been a number of transformative deals in the sector in 2015, most notably Berkshire Hathaway’s announced acquisition of Precision Castparts Corp for $37 billion
─ Other notable transactions include Veritas Capital’s $2.1 billion acquisition of StandardAero, HNA’s acquisition of Swissport for $2.8 billion and BBA Aviation’s acquisition of Landmark for $2.1 billion
Significant scarcity value for commercial aerospace assets of scale – larger transactions have resulted in highly competitive auctions and premium valuations
Consolidation in the airframe and engine structure manufacturing sector has remained a key driver of M&A for the past 5+ years with interest in aftermarket / MRO picking up significant momentum in 2015
Financing Historically low interest rates have provided strategic and financial buyers with inexpensive financing and helped fuel increased M&A activity
─ Capital markets environment supporting significant leverage for financial buyers
Low interest rates have fueled a rally in the equity market to all-time highs
