Concur (CNQR) – Leading provider of on-demand corporate expense management software – uniting
online corporate travel booking with automated expense reporting.
Stock Chart
Concur’s stock has had a great run over the last five years due to its strong competitive position, solid management team, and steady execution.
However, the stock has stalled over the past year – which provides an attractive entry point for a firm that is positioned to grow revenue at least 20%-plus for the next three to five years.

Strong Fundamental Picture
4
Concur’s solution unites travel bookings and expense reporting – the only one in the market.
The company’s solution remains best in class and faces little to no competition.
Roughly $100 billion annually is spent on corporate travel and entertainment – the 2nd largest controllable cost for organizations.
In my view, the firm is one of the most forward-looking software companies.
Total Available Market
5
Management estimates that the company’s core market is only 10% penetrated (1 million serviceable firms with more than 75 employees) and pegs the company’s total available market at $12 billion.
With a current revenue run rate of only $360 million, Concur has significant room to grow.
New Growth Areas
6
Moving down market Management believes that the majority of revenue
long-term could come from SMBs.
Concur Breeze was released last year.
Overseas expansion Management wants to move from 13% of sales to 25%
- 30%.
Overseas revenue could someday approach 50% or more, as many mature software companies receive at least half of their revenue from international locations.
The firm recently released editions in Japan and India – two potential very large markets. These offerings should begin to materially add to revenue by 2013.
New Growth Areas
7
TripIt functionality
Improves Concur’s mobile functionality.
Fills a gap in the company’s product offering.
Should materially impact ‘13 results if not sooner.
Recent partnerships
American Express
Amadeus
Corporate Travel Spending Impact
8
Corporate travel spending has grown for six consecutive quarters - however, we are still not at the dollar spending level witnessed in 2008.
The company was materially impacted by the recession and reduced travel volumes – Concur had been growing its top-line north of 30%.
As corporate travel continues to bounce back, Concur should begin to see customers increase their transaction volumes, leading to additional revenue.
Risks
9
Has the company penetrated its core U.S. enterprise market?
Will Concur be successful in the SMB space?
Will the firm be able to expand significantly overseas?

Assumptions: On the top-line, I am forecasting 24% growth next year (including 1 percentage point from acquisitions) based on better than expected revenue from overseas and from TripIt (where I believe management was conservative) as well a better corporate travel environment, leading to increased transactions and additional revenue for the company. For 2013, my expectation is for 25% growth as the six growth areas all begin to materially push up the revenue figure. On the operating margin line, I am projecting a 2 percentage point improve in fiscal 2012 and a 1 percentage point gain in fiscal 2013 as fewer growth initiatives are spent on and the SMB solution begins to help the margin.
