Outstanding realisation of Instaclustr

Nov-18

Shareholders will have seen the announcement on Friday last week that Nasdaq listed US data behemoth NetApp has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Instaclustr. This is a tremendous result for Instaclustr and for Bailador investors. Our share of the proceeds of the sale will be around AUD$118 million. The final number is subject to normal final adjustments, and closing proceeds are subject to payment of transaction costs, and dependent on exchange rate fluctuations between now and completion, when the proceeds will arrive in our bank account.

The realisation of our investment in Instaclustr is at an AUD$54 million or 85% uplift to our current holding value of Instaclustr. This translates to an increase of $0.38 to the pre-tax NTA of the BTI fund. We lay out these numbers because we want to show and say, as we have many times in the past, that:

  • 1. We hold our investments at conservative valuations. The NTA per share we publish is a conservative estimate of the value of the fund. We demonstrate the conservative nature of our valuations by reporting the EV/revenue multiple for the entire portfolio compared to appropriate indices and companies. This shows that the BTI portfolio revenue valuation multiple is far below the multiples at which these comparable indices and companies trade, and

  • 2. We have had 31 third party investments or realisations in Bailador portfolio companies over the life of the fund and not one of these has been at a discount to the carrying value of the portfolio company at the time.

The first point above makes it clear that the whole portfolio is conservatively valued, and the second point makes it clear that each individual company is conservatively valued.

Below is our record of investment and growth in the valuation of Instaclustr at third party valuations.

There have been three third party transactions since BTI originally invested in Instaclustr in November 2016.

Note: *Includes $3.8m BTI investment made in June 2021.

Instaclustr is a great example of what we do. We find great private Australian and New Zealand information technology companies at the expansion stage, invest, join the board and do everything we can to help the company grow. Usually, as we did with Instaclustr, we have opportunities to add to our investment as we go along.

Our experience at Instaclustr is different in degree - the returns are at the upper end of expectations - but entirely consistent in substance to what we do and the results we get across the portfolio. Our realisations of DocsCorp, Lendi and Standard Media Index (SMI), though smaller, followed the same course we experienced at Instaclustr. SiteMinder is of course comparable to Instaclustr in both degree and substance.

The point we are making is we have a consistent and proven model. The evidence demonstrates that what we are doing works well over an extended period of time including through a period of decline in valuations in the information technology sector. We are proud of the business we have created and of the unique access BTI gives to investors, in particular retail investors who would not otherwise have the opportunity to invest in some of the best private expansion-stage information technology companies in this part of the world.

The realisations of our investments in SMI and in Instaclustr will, when complete, deliver a large amount of cash into BTI. We think this is a good time to have cash to invest in expansion-stage information technology companies and we continue to see many interesting opportunities. The board of Bailador Technology Investments will consider a range of capital management alternatives in the coming months in anticipation of the forecast cash availability.
