Positioned at the forefront of the rapidly-growing and mission-critical federal cybersecurity market, CENTERPOINT holds key contract vehicles and BPAs that grant it wide-reaching customer access. The Company has cemented itself as a trusted partner capable of addressing the complex requirements of each of its customers. CENTERPOINT’s cadre of highly technical, credentialed, and cleared cybersecurity experts drives customer satisfaction and further entrenches existing relationships with customers.
We believe this transaction highlights several key trends in the M&A market:
• Pure-play assets in high-profile and growing IT modernization verticals such as cybersecurity remain highly coveted in the market
• Strong preference for past performance and customer intimacy with well-funded customers
• Mid-sized businesses led by proven management teams, strong revenue and earnings growth, and strategically positioned in both highly technical and well-funded customer segments continue to be attractive accelerators to private equity platforms
