Presidio is a leading provider of information technology (“IT”) solutions to the middle market in North America. We enable business transformation through our expertise in IT solutions, with a specific focus on Digital Infrastructure, Cloud and Security solutions. Our solutions are delivered through a broad suite of professional services, including strategy, consulting, design and implementation. We complement our professional services with project management, technology acquisition, managed services, maintenance and support to offer a full lifecycle model. Our services-led, lifecycle model leads to ongoing client engagement. As of June 30, 2017, we serve approximately 7,500 middle-market, large, and government organizations across a diverse range of industries.
We have three solution areas: (i) Digital Infrastructure, (ii) Cloud, and (iii) Security. Through our increasing focus on cloud and security, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from the rapid growth in demand for these technologies and expect our business mix to continue shifting toward them. Within our three solutions areas, we offer customers enterprise-class solutions that are critical to driving digital transformation and expanding business capabilities. Examples of our solutions include advanced networking, Internet of Things (“IoT”), data analytics, data center modernization, hybrid and multi-cloud, cyber risk management, and enterprise mobility. These solutions are enabled by our expertise in foundational technologies, built upon our investments in network, data center, security, collaboration, and mobility.
The middle market is a highly attractive segment of the IT services market. We believe we are the leading middle-market provider of IT solutions and are differentiated by our strategic focus on this attractive segment. The increasing potential and complexity of emerging technologies and digital transformation are creating more demand for our solutions and services. Customers in the middle market are usually large enough to have substantial technology needs but typically have fewer IT resources and lack the broad expertise required to develop the necessary solutions as compared to larger companies. As a trusted solutions provider, our clients rely on us for IT investment decisions. We simplify IT for them by building solutions utilizing what we view as the best possible technologies. Since many large-scale IT services providers focus on larger enterprises, and because many resellers are unable to provide end-to-end solutions, we believe the middle market has remained underpenetrated and underserved.
We develop and maintain our long-term client relationships through a localized direct sales force of approximately 500 employees based in over 60 offices across the United States as of September 30, 2017. As a strategic partner and trusted advisor to our clients, we provide the expertise to implement new solutions, as well as optimize and better leverage existing IT resources. We provide strategy, consulting, design, customized deployment, integration and lifecycle management through our team of over 1,600 engineers as of September 30, 2017, enabling us to architect and manage the ideal IT solutions for our clients. Our local delivery model, combining relationship managers and expert engineering teams, allows us to win, retain and expand our client relationships.
Our client base is diversified across individual customers and industry verticals. In our fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, only 20% of our revenue was attributable to our top 25 clients by revenue and no industry vertical accounted for more than 19% of our revenue. Among the verticals that we serve, healthcare, government, financial services, education, and professional services are our largest categories. We believe that our diversified client profile is a key driver of our ability to generate growth across different economic and technology cycles.

Our strategic focus on the middle-market and high-growth solutions areas has enabled us to achieve 10% annualized growth in our revenue from our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Over the same period, we have significantly outpaced the overall IT market growth rate, according to Gartner. We believe that we are well positioned for continued success as IT becomes more transformative and complex, driving demand for our solutions.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we generated total revenue of $765.0 million, a 3.7% increase over total revenue of $737.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016; net income of $19.8 million, a 253.6% increase over net income of $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016; Adjusted EBITDA of $67.4 million, a 15.8% increase over Adjusted EBITDA of $58.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016; and Adjusted Net Income of $34.8 million, a 42.0% increase over Adjusted Net Income of $24.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we generated total revenue of $2,817.6 million, a 3.8% increase over total revenue of $2,714.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016; Adjusted Revenue of $2,818.2 million, a 5.0% increase over Adjusted Revenue of $2,683.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016; net income of $4.4 million compared to net loss of $3.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016; Adjusted EBITDA of $226.1 million, a 7.1% increase over Adjusted EBITDA of $211.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016; and Adjusted Net Income of $100.4 million, a 23.6% increase over Adjusted Net Income of $81.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and footnotes 1, 2 and 3 under “—Summary Historical Financial Information” for the definitions of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, the reasons for their inclusion and reconciliations to the appropriate GAAP measures.

Market Overview
We operate in the large and growing North American IT market. According to Gartner, the overall North American IT market is expected to grow to $1.39 trillion by 2021, representing a 3.5% CAGR from 2016, and the IT Services sub-market is expected to grow by 5.0% over the same period, to $514 billion. Our primary focus is on the attractive middle market of the overall North American IT market, which, according to Gartner, is projected to grow from $238 billion in 2016 to $310 billion in 2021, representing a 5.5% CAGR. The middle market is one of the fastest growing segments of the overall North American IT market in part because its companies often employ smaller internal IT teams that do not have the broad expertise required to keep pace with increasingly complex IT environments and constant technology changes. Industry dynamics continue to favor services-led solutions providers, as businesses increasingly rely on us to advise them on complex IT projects, enabling them to better focus on their core capabilities and enhance productivity.
While we primarily focus our operations on the U.S. middle market, we have generated sales in and have operations in Canada, the only other country included in Gartner’s North American IT market. Our sales in Canada were less than 1% of our revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Our total sales outside the United States represented approximately 2% of our total revenue for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2015, and the growth rates of the overall North American IT market and the IT Services sub-market generally indicate a growing market for our business.
We believe that growth in IT spending will continue to be driven by the adoption of new technologies and market-related trends in cloud, security and IoT and the desire to integrate people, process and technology into digital business models. These trends reflect expanding IT complexity that organizations must manage to remain competitive; however, many middle-market companies lack the resources to design, integrate and manage full life cycle solutions across multiple technology silos to capitalize on these new technologies. A recent survey by Gartner3 predicted that the four biggest drivers of increased IT budget spend would be in the areas of analytics, infrastructure and datacenter, security and cloud, all of which are areas addressed by our core solutions.

Because of our strategic focus on high-growth solutions areas, our North American TAM is expected to grow at a 7.4% CAGR from $166 billion in 2016 to $237 billion in 2021, according to Gartner and management estimates.4
Specific components of our TAM are as follows:

of effort and an estimated tens of billions of dollars spent annually,8 we believe that most organizations are still not sufficiently protected against cyberattacks. Additionally, heightened sensitivity around data security has introduced new regulation and contractual requirements in a number of the industries we serve. According to Gartner and management estimates, the North American security market was $19 billion in 2016, with a projected CAGR of approximately 10% through 2021.9 Gartner defines security solutions as consulting, hardware support, implementation and IT outsourcing.
We believe that we are well positioned within the fragmented North American IT Services market—where no individual company has over 5% market share, according to Gartner. 10 We have become a trusted advisor to our middle-market clients by providing enterprise-class, vendor-agnostic and end-to-end solutions through our national team of engineers and strong local relationships. We believe that our value proposition will allow us to take market share because local and regional service providers lack our scale, technology expertise and end-to-end solution capabilities and the larger national and global firms do not have the focus, local relationships and organizational structure to provide solutions to the middle market.
Our Solutions
We consider ourselves to be a leading provider of end-to-end and innovative IT solutions across our three solution areas: (i) Digital Infrastructure, (ii) Cloud and (iii) Security. Due to the accelerated growth and adoption of cloud and security solutions, as seen in Gartner’s projected growth in our total addressable markets, we expect Cloud and Security to continue to drive a mix shift in our revenue base over time.

At the core of our solutions is our services expertise, which combines professional services, project management and technology acquisition, as well as managed, maintenance and support services across our clients’ IT lifecycle. Our offerings are focused on five core foundational IT technologies: network, data center, security, collaboration and mobility. We enable our clients to capitalize on technology advances, simplify IT complexity and optimize existing environments, which drives business transformation through new applications, user experiences and revenue models. As a services-led organization, we work with our clients to understand their unique business challenges and opportunities. Once a client’s needs have been identified, a team of Presidio engineers designs a vendor-agnostic IT solution tailored to the client’s objectives and then acquires the technology and implements the solution. As part of our full lifecycle model, we also provide managed, maintenance and support services to our clients.
Across each of our solution areas, we focus on building expertise in the emerging trends and leading-edge technologies that matter most to our clients. Specifically, in Digital Infrastructure, we have deployed next-generation, converged network and data center technologies to support the increasing demands of multi-channel client interaction and an increasingly mobile workforce. In Cloud, we have developed solutions that allow us to deploy hybrid and multi-cloud environments and software-defined infrastructure, in an automated and orchestrated fashion, giving our clients agility and powerful governance over their application environments. In Security, we have developed strong capabilities in risk assessment, gap remediation, proactive risk management, active monitoring and surveillance and incident response.

Digital Infrastructure Solutions: Our enterprise-class Digital Infrastructure solutions enable clients to deploy IT infrastructure that is cloud-flexible, mobile-ready, secure and insight-driven. We also make clients’ existing IT infrastructure more efficient and flexible for emerging technologies. Within Digital Infrastructure, we are focused on networking, collaboration, enterprise mobility, IoT and data analytics. In networking, we are designing and deploying the intelligent interconnectivity that will enable our customers to take advantage of the advances in IoT, including cloud and data analytics. In collaboration, we help our clients create environments that allow for faster decision-making by integrating all their critical business and communications applications into a unified solution. Our solutions are mobile-ready, as we extend our clients’ local and wide area networks by enabling reliable, secure and scalable access to all types of mobile devices. In IoT, we are helping our clients move from traditional manual processes to automated machine-to-machine connectivity, enabling enhanced efficiency, powerful data insights and integration of historically non-IT assets into the IT environment. Given the millions of potential configurations across technologies, our clients rely on our expertise to simplify the highly complex IT landscape.
Cloud Solutions: We have found that businesses are increasingly required to deliver new products and services to market in shortened time frames by leveraging technology to transform the rate at which they can innovate. Part of this transformation is the proliferation and adoption of the cloud. As a result, companies are increasingly turning to us for help with their cloud strategy and adoption. A recent survey by Gartner11 indicated that cloud solutions were the second highest area of planned growth in 2018 IT investment with no respondents indicating a reduction in spend. Through our acquisition of Sequoia Worldwide LLC (“Sequoia”) and our organic investments, we provide cloud enablement and migration services as well as private, hybrid and multi-cloud solutions, including data center modernization, managed cloud, orchestration and automation and operational support to our clients. We combine our highly specialized cloud professional services with our deep experience in cloud-managed services, converged infrastructure, server, storage, support and capacity-on-demand economic models to provide a complete lifecycle of cloud infrastructure solutions for our clients. Our proprietary tools, technical expertise and vendor-agnostic approach help our clients accelerate and simplify cloud adoption across the entire IT lifecycle.
Security Solutions: We use a risk-based security consulting methodology to assess, design, implement, manage and maintain information security solutions that protect our customers’ critical business data and protects against loss of client loyalty, corporate reputation and disruptions in ongoing operations. We offer cyber risk management, infrastructure security and managed security solutions to our clients. Through our Next Generation Risk Management (“NGRM”), we provide comprehensive risk assessments, detailed reporting, ongoing reviews, process and program development, and training services. NGRM ensures that identified vulnerabilities are mitigated and business risk has been properly addressed. Because our customers’ infrastructures are constantly changing, our NGRM offering is structured as a recurring service with regular periodic assessments of the current security posture combined with ongoing monitoring and surveillance through our 7x24 Security Operations Centers. Our experience spans all major verticals including retail, education, healthcare, government, banking, pharmaceutical and others. We have expertise with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”), the Federal Information Security Management Act (“FISMA”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and others. We help our clients design and implement information security programs consistent with industry best practices and comply with the regulatory mandates of their specific vertical that are flexible enough to help ensure information security in an ever-changing risk environment. Findings, recommendations and real time security posture status, including our proprietary Risk Management Score, are provided through a 7x24 portal that is accessible by our clients and is updated with the up to date vulnerabilities identified by several industry sources.
We help our clients establish both technical and non-technical security controls and practices to prevent, detect, correct and minimize the risk of loss or damage to information resources, disruption of access to information resources, and unauthorized disclosure of information. In addition to our NGRM program, we offer options for security strategy program development, security awareness training, technology exposure assessments and incident response.

We offer our end-to-end solutions through our full lifecycle model. Our lifecycle approach is delivered through professional services, which includes strategy and consulting, solutions design, testing and configuration and custom deployment, as well as project management and technology acquisition, managed services and maintenance and support. Once a solution has been designed and agreed upon, our engineers provide expert implementation and integration of the customized solution into the client’s IT environment. As part of deployment, we stage and test solutions before installing them and then coordinate resources and manage timelines to make sure we deliver according to our client’s exact specifications. Once a solution has been deployed, we provide managed maintenance and support services via our Security Operations Center to ensure our clients IT environments are operating according to plan. As part of our ongoing support, we help our clients identify areas where they can further strengthen their IT solutions.
Presidio’s Lifecycle Model
Our ability to provide a full lifecycle of services creates multiple ongoing touch points with our clients, which we believe drives deep client relationships and high satisfaction because we are able to serve as the single source for their IT solutions needs.
Our Go-to-market Approach
Our approach is to deliver engineering and services-led solutions to best meet our clients’ evolving IT needs. We have built an innovative and flexible organization with a proven history of identifying and capitalizing on disruptive technologies and market transitions. As of September 30, 2017, we have approximately 500 direct sales professionals and a team of over 1,600 engineers across more than 60 offices nationally who we believe provide high-quality, consistent service to our clients. Our model is focused on developing long-standing, deep relationships through local touch-points, combined with strong technical expertise and the ability to provide an end-to-end solution to solve our clients’ -8- complex IT needs. Our relationships with our clients extend beyond the solutions we provide to include full lifecycle services such as managed services, maintenance and support, which drive our ongoing client engagement. Our service-led model resulted in 92% of our revenue for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 coming from clients that purchased our services. We believe the differentiated combination of our national scale, local reach, technology expertise, end-to-end solution capabilities and full lifecycle services separates us from other providers in the market.
Our vendor-agnostic approach to the market allows us to develop optimal solutions based on what we view as the best mix of technologies. Our best-of-breed philosophy is a significant differentiator versus reseller and fulfillment models. Rather than responding to simple procurement requests, we advise clients on solutions that drive business transformation. We then design the solutions with what we view as the best technologies available.
To cater to certain clients’ desires to lower capital expenditures, we offer flexible consumption models. For example, we have the ability to deliver our full range of IT solutions in an ITaaS model. This provides clients with the option to consume technology “as a service,” accessing and paying for technology as it is consumed.

We believe this is due to the strong demand for IT expertise in the segment, the massive number of companies in the segment and significant under-penetration in the segment. We believe we have created a compelling brand and reputation as a leading provider of enterprise-class IT solutions. We have a differentiated combination of national scale, local reach, technology expertise, end-to-end solution capabilities and full lifecycle services that we believe separates us from other providers in the market. Our ability to provide end-to-end solutions and solve complex needs has allowed us to become a partner of choice for our middle-market clients.
