Q2 2019 | Software Benchmark report: US SaaS multiples blast previous high out of the water

Welcome to the latest edition of the Silverpeak Benchmark report: Application Software, a review of key company valuation metrics in the US, UK and European application software sectors. By reviewing sector median averages, our aim is to provide a set of software industry benchmarks against which individual company performance can be measured.

Report highlights

  • US SaaS median revenue multiples have continued to rise, surpassing their previous quarter end, 8.2x, by 7%; whilst also reaching an all time high of 9.4x during the quarter
  • UK Small & Mid median revenue multiples were recovering, closing 6.7% higher than the previous quarter; however, they are still 10% lower than the same quarter last year (3.9x)
  • European companies continue to have the lowest valuations, with no sign of this trend changing any time soon
