Morningstar | MYOB Takeover Likely Following Board Support for KKR Offer

We expect MYOB to benefit from the transition from desktop to cloud-based accounting software products during the next decade. The company is the largest provider of accounting software to small and midsize enterprises, or SMEs, in Australia and New Zealand, with about 1.2 million users, representing 48% of the addressable market. However, about 600,000 customers have perpetual licences and pay no fees to MYOB, so transitioning these customers to cloud products will drive revenue and earnings growth. The SME segment generates about 60% of group earnings, with about 30% attributable to accounting practice management software. MYOB has a market share of approximately 65% in the APM segment, which acts as a key strategic advantage, as accountants usually recommend their software provider to small-business clients.
