Industry Overview: Talent Management • Niche industry within overall human capital management (HCM) • Growth drivers: increasing globalization and competition • Pressure on HR on recruit, develop, and retain talented individuals • Consolidation of all talent management processes (cost and effort savings) • Recruiting & Staffing, Learning & Development, Performance Management, and Career Planning
Market Opportunity • Underpenetrated market as talent management is seeing increased recognition as a necessary function • 2012 Market Size: Approximately $4B • CAGR of 16.5% through 2014, fastest within overall HCM • Sources: Deloitte, Forrester
Competitive Landscape • Diversified Software Providers • IBM (Kenexa, Dec. 2012), Oracle (PeopleSoft, Dec. 2004; Taleo, Feb. 2012), SAP (SuccessFactors, Feb. 2012) • SaaS Talent Management Providers • Halogen Software, Lumesse, Peoplefluent, Saba Software, SilkRoad, SumTotal Systems • Result: the company reports competing primarily as a comprehensive TM Suite; enterprise competitors
Leadership Recognition • Gartner, Forrester, IDC: talent management market leader
Growth Strategies: Organic • Direct sales team and resellers • Direct sales team: roughly 1/3 of company in sales and marketing (250-300) • Non-linear growth in sales teams - allowing for better regional/sector coverage • Roughly 80% of revenues • Resellers, alliances: very useful to international growth • Key international players: Affiliated Computer Services, Appirio, ADP • Salesforce.com integrations • Client retention - average ADRR since 2002: 95%

Good Things To Come: Bookings Growth • A view into CSOD’s backlog of sales
Comparable Companies • We value CSOD purely on an EV/Revenue and EV/Gross Profit basis • Lower line growth and CFs irrelevant at this point in the company’s growth stage
DCF • Looked at six companies that went through similar growth stages as Cornerstone OnDemand • Salesforce.com, Netsuite, Concur Technologies, The Ultimate Software Group, Exact Target, Responsys • Revenue model • Unable to isolate individual line items; 80% of revenues from subscription fees
Cost of Revenue • Due to cloud operations, cost of revenue will decline as a percentage of revenue in the future
Other DCF Considerations • Research & Development • Constant, as a percent of revenue, due to high industry competition • Tax Rate • Difficult to currently project due to unprofitability • Looked at profitable, high growth, tech companies to find rate at perpetuity • Beta
Recommendation • In conclusion, we recommend a buy for all portfolios based on qualitative factors and an undervaluation of 38%
