Note: All disadvantages come from indirect model and allocations may be interchangeable. Data used in Bernstein report included 2Q’01 results and estimates for CY’01. Operating margins for PC hardware estimated based on company interviews and backing into reported margins from data provided “beyond-the-box.” Margin assumptions for each product line add up to total reported margins. Once gross operating margins were established for each product line, revenue (which gives ASP), operating expense and gross margin per PC were examined. This was combined with Bernstein Surveys and Website checks, which suggested that ASPs for major vendors were similar. All of the reported difference in margins can be attributed to differences in distribution, manufacturing, and SG&A efficiencies

2	KPMG CY 2000 overall operating margin from Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, “KPMG Consulting,” 08/08/01, p. 11. KPMG margins are of net revenue, not gross revenue. ACN overall operating margin estimated for CY 2002 by UBS Warburg Report: “Accenture: Initiating Coverage,” 09/19/01, p. 59. Note: ACN’s margins for the year ended 2/28/01 based on the S-1 Registration statement, 04/19/01, p. 41, were 23%. This is excluding payments of partner distributions. Maximus margins estimated by Dain Rauscher Wessels report: “Maximus: Initiating Coverage,” 08/16/01, p. 2. The margins are estimated for Systems work specifically. This was the only systems integration margin we could conclusively isolate. EDS overall pro forma 2000 operating margins from 2000 10-K, p. 17. CSC overall 2001 FY margins (FY ends in March) from Merrill Lynch Capital Markets report: “Computer Sciences Corporation,” 08/02/01, p. 6-7. CPQ overall service operating margins in 2000 estimated by Banc of America Securities report: “Compaq Computer Corporation: Transitioning the Business Model,” 10/11/01, p. 20. Unable to break out support-focused margins, but since Compaq is mostly support we used this as a proxy. HP support-specific margins estimated by Morgan Stanley Equity Research/Parthenon correspondence, 11/08/01
3	Compaq estimate includes services revenue from DEC/Tandem legacy systems, which may have higher margins than the majority of their service revenue

Note:

HP and Compaq include financing in services revenue while others do not. Note: Services revenues are from IDC report cited below to maintain consistency across companies. Estimates might conflict with management’s numbers

Source:

Parthenon Analysis; Services revenues are from IDC report “Worldwide IT Services Industry Forecast and Analysis, 2000-2005,” July 2001, p. 71. Banc of America Securities report: “The HP/Compaq Merger: Piecing Together the Puzzle,” 10/11/01, p. 18, estimated HWP, Compaq and the combined company revenue breakdowns into categories of “support,” “outsourcing,” “consulting” and “financing.” Assumed that 2/3 “consulting” revenue was systems integration for CPQ and for HP because they perform systems integration and because Banc of America Securities Report: “Compaq Computer Corporation: Transitioning the Business Model,” 10/11/01, p. 20-21 calls a business unit of Compaq “systems integration” and does not mention consulting. Goldman, Sachs report: “Details: IBM’s Services Business Seems to be Tracking to Plan,” 08/14/01, p. 2, estimates IBM’s breakdown as 10% consulting, 15% SI, 40% outsourcing. Estimated that the remainder was in support/maintenance. Merrill Lynch report: “International Business Machines,” 09/27/01, p.18, claims that in 2000 IBM had 35% revenue in outsourcing, 24% revenue in SI, 6% revenue in consulting, and 36% revenue in product support & services, network services and maintenance. Used a straight average of the two numbers. UBS Warburg report: “Accenture: Initiating Coverage,” 09/19/01, p. 15, estimated that 15-20% of revenues was in outsourcing, 35-45% systems integration, and 40-50% for consulting. Estimated 15% for outsourcing, 40% for systems integration, and 45% consulting. EDS’s 2000 10-K (p. 12-13) breaks down revenue and claims that 77% of revenues are in “information solutions” or outsourcing, 12% of its revenues are in consulting, and 14% are in BPM (a form of outsourcing). It does not appear that companies other than HP and Compaq count financing revenue among their services revenue. If this is not the case, these estimates may omit financing revenues
