EV of US companies at $6.9b NZD versus $0.2b NZD for ANZ companies. As at 31 December 2022, the US Cloud index has gone into a holding pattern, down 4% from the

Input: 3D render of nine investment bankers in a giant inflatable unicorn in the sea
Output:
Once upon a time, in the fast-paced world of finance, a young analyst named
Jessica was struggling to make sense of the constant changes and fluctuations in
the market. She was determined to find the key to success, but no matter how hard
she tried, she couldn't seem to find a clear-cut answer to any of the questions she
faced.
One day, as she was staring at her latest set of reports in frustration, she heard a
wise old voice behind her. "Jessica, you're looking at this all wrong," the voice said.
Jessica turned around to see her mentor, Mr. Smith, standing behind her with a
knowing smile. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"The answer is always 'it depends,'" Mr. Smith said with a wink. "In finance, there are
no easy answers. Every situation is different, and you have to take into account a
multitude of factors before making a decision. So when someone asks you a
question, always remember to say 'it depends.'"
At first, Jessica was skeptical. How could "it depends" be the answer to everything?
But as she began to apply Mr. Smith's advice, she realized that he was right. The
more she considered the unique factors of each situation, the more successful she
became.
As she continued to use the "it depends" approach, her reputation within the
company grew, and she soon became one of the most sought-after analysts in the
industry. And she knew that it was all thanks to Mr. Smith and his wise words: "it
depends" is always the answer in finance.
Input: Write a short story about how “it depends" is always the answer in finance

Overview Clare Capital Tech Insights 273 - Trade Me exit scenarios - 20221209
Trade Me total revenue NZ$m Trade Me EBITDA NZ$m
Trade Me was acquired by a UK private equity firm Apax Partners, in early 2019, in a leveraged buyout. Apax has successfully grown Trade Me, primarily through an increase in Classifieds
revenue (Jobs, Property and Motors). Earnings margins (EBITDA) have slightly decreased. It is coming up to four years since the deal was completed and we would anticipate Apax is
evaluating various exit scenarios given PE firms typically aim for around a five-year holding period. On the second page, we provide two illustrative examples for how they could sell the
business: splitting up the various business units or relisting the company via an IPO. June year end for all financial information.

Trade Me was acquired at a 16.7x EBITDA multiple. Assuming that multiple stayed
constant, Trade Me would have an Implied EV of $3,707m.
The businesses below share two of Trade
Me's valuable characteristics; good growth
and high earnings margins. They are also
primarily platforms.
This valuation approach provides a higher
exit value than splitting up the business
into individual parts, as shown on the left.
Both sets of analysis are theoretical only

Two of Sharesies current investors, Trade Me and Pathfinder Kiwisaver, have requirements to publicly publish their financial statements, including information about their investment. Pathfinder also publishes fund updates and full portfolio holdings on a quarterly and six monthly basis.Per Trade Me's June 2022 accounts, the business holds Sharesies using the equity accounting method at $7m for 13.5% of the company. This method accounts for the initial investment value, their pro-rata share of subsequent profits and losses, and isn't a market valuation number.While Pathfinder's March 2022 accounts disclose a 0.36% shareholding and use fair value measurement, for which the valuation technique is "multiples based, calibrated with price of recent investment". According to Pathfinder's latest fund update, Sharesies is held at a value of c$430 million.

Overview Clare Capital Tech Insights 271 - Technology layoffs - 20221125
Number of Tech layoffs over time since Covid
Source: https://layoffs.fyi/
The largest technology companies in the world have recently announced employee layoffs - as many as 11,000 in Meta's case. A number of factors play a role here, including general
economic uncertainty, a decrease in economic activity (including digital advertising), over-hiring during and post Covid and pressure from investors to show greater profitability with
revenue growth slowing. We take a look at the number of tech employees laid off since Covid and point out some of the most notable companies.

Meta announced the biggest absolute employee layoff this year, of 11,000 people.
Mark Zuckerberg gave two reasons:
• Meta's revenue outlook is lower than expected at the beginning of this year; and,
• To make sure Meta is operating efficiently.
Meta has also heavily invested into the Metaverse, for which material losses are
anticipated to grow significantly year-on-year.

Manchester United is a storied British football club that was purchased by an American family, the Glazers, in 2005. The Glazers financed the takeover with considerable debt, split
between the club and the family. United fans criticise the Glazers for leveraging the club, paying themselves dividends, poorly executing player transfers, not investing in facilities and
attempting to join a proposed runaway European football league. June year end for all financial information.
