•No single client comprises more than 5% of total revenue

•The Company serves clients in over 140 countries
Mar •The Company operates in what it characterizes as a highly fragmented industry, believing the
New Unit market and Aftermarket Parts and Service (“AP&S”) market to be $5 billion and $9
ket billion respectively. By implication, the Company believes it has the following market share:

•Over the last 25 years, the market segments in which the Company competes have recently
experienced consolidation:

•The turbo compressor industry has consolidated from more than 15 to 7
competitors

•The reciprocating compressor industry has consolidated from more than 12 to 6
competitors

•The steam turbine industry has consolidated from more than 18 to 5 competitors
Mar •The largest competitors can be classified by product category:

ket •Competitors in the turbo compressor industry include GE Oil and Gas/Nuovo

nue •The New Unit business segment is highly exposed to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices,
d) •
which had peaked in 2007 and experienced a dramatic downturn in 2008 and 2009

•The Company as a result experienced a drop in new unit bookings of 49.1% in


2009, and a fall in aftermarket bookings of 14.6% during the same period

•The AP&S business segment, on the other hand, is generally dependent on the rate of
depreciation of capital goods in the oil and natural gas industry, which is relatively
consistent

•The Company anticipates that the market will improve going forward, with sales in 2015
projected to reach over $4 billion
Bus •The Company’s business model centers around having a flexible, responsive manufacturing
capacity for New Units that is reliant upon outsourced suppliers
ine •
•In cyclical upswings, the Company can “flex” this capacity to satisfy market
ss demand

Str •The Company can rely upon revenues from Aftermarket Parts and Services and
ate •
low fixed cost to work through the nadir of market cycles

gy •The Company states it has “demonstrated an ability to run our business … with
net working capital and capital expenditure requirements of approximately 5%
and 1.5% to 2% of sales, respectively”

•The Company has established the following strategic goals in furtherance of its business
model during the current downturn:

•Increase Sales of AP&S to Existing Installed Base
•Expand AP&S Business to Non-Dresser-Rand OEM Equipment
•Grow Alliances
•Expand Performance-Based Long-Term Service Contracts
•Introduce New and Innovative Products and Technologies
•Continue to Improve Profitability
•Selectively Pursue Acquisitions

PROJECT IMPACT ANALYSIS
Re •Realization’s solution primarily impacts the following at client organizations through
implementation of Theory of Constraints/Critical Chain:
aliz •
•Throughput
ati •Work-in-Process and Inventory
•Lead Times
on’ •On-Time Completion
s •
•Secondarily, clients have also seen a cost impact as a result of increased
Sol •
efficiencies and reduced inventory costs

uti •Looking back at the strategic points outlined by Dresser-Rand, we can see how Realization’s
solution touches almost all of the critical goals expressed by management:
on •

Co •Dresser-Rand’s primary business segments represent two categories served by Realization
Technologies’ consulting services and Concerto software:
mp •
•‘New Units’ represents an Engineer-to-Order (“ETO”) segment, characterized by
ara products requiring substantial added engineering value before completion

ble •‘AP&S’ represents a Maintenance/Repair/Overhaul (“MRO”) segment,
Pro •
characterized by ongoing maintenance services to existing assets

jec •Realization Technologies’ project experience with a variety of business units with core ETO
and MRO responsibilities allows us to look at the impact of Realization’s product on similar
t clients’ operations, and forecast anticipated benefit to Dresser-Rand

Exp •We will look at the impact of comparable projects in the ETO and MRO categories,
and assume analogous results for Dresser-Rand’s business segments
eri •
enc •Combining pro forma ‘New Units’ and ‘AP&S’ segment results, we can then
accurately project the result of a full scale implementation on the entire

Thr •Realization has previously achieved increases in throughput of 30% in ETO projects focused
on steam turbine producer Škoda Power, and increases of 23% for MRO throughput with
oug engine repair operations at Delta Airlines

hpu •While it is reasonable to assume similar increases to throughput capacity for Dresser-Rand, it
is unlikely given the current depressed state of the ETO segment that such capacity would
t translate to sales immediately

•As such, it is more appropriate to assume that the capacity generated translates to
revenue only in the AP&S segment for purposes of projecting pro forma
financials

•While it may be true that increased capacity wouldn’t translate into immediate
revenue, it would increase the value of the business model by generating
additional “flex” capability to capture value during the next cyclical upturn

•Increasing throughput by 20+% would also enable Dresser-Rand to enter the marketplace at
lower price points, putting pressure on competitors in an already consolidating industry and
generating opportunities to increase market share

•At cyclical highpoints, Realization’s product generates significant increased revenue; at
cyclical downturns it allows clients to go on the offensive and grab market share
Wo •Theory of Constraints/Critical Chain methodology is very useful for decreasing Work-in-
Process (“WIP”) and Inventory, as shown by Realization’s product helping Delta Airlines
rk- reduce its piece part WIP by 60%

in- •Realization also demonstrated inventory cutbacks in a MRO project with the U.S. Navy Fleet
Readyness Center SE, which saw a 14% reduction in WIP
Pro •
ces •While we do not have direct data, it is reasonable to assume that a 14% reduction
in WIP corresponds to a 14% reduction in overall inventory
s& •
•Minimizing inventory has two major impacts, the first of which is an immediate release of cash
Inv as the inventory is liquidated, boosting cash on hand

ent •This increase in cash on hand will likely go towards paying down debt, as most
inventory is funded by revolvers that charge interest on outstanding loans –
ory meaning that reduced inventory can reduce interest expense

•The second impact is a reduction of inventory carrying costs, which as a rule of thumb are
roughly 25% of total inventory value, assuming:

•15% Capital Cost
•6% Risk Cost
•2% Storage Space Cost
•2% Service Cost

•A 14% MRO inventory reduction and commensurate reduction in carrying cost, is assumed in
the pro forma case together with an increase in cash on hand
Lea •Realization’s implementation of TOC/Critical Chain saw a 20-30% decrease in cycle time, and
a jump from 60% to 90% on-time delivery with Škoda Power in an ETO application
d •
•On-time delivery is not just important for relationship management and marketing
Tim purposes in ETO applications – it directly impacts revenue through early delivery
incentives and late penalties built into booked contracts
es •
& •Delta Airlines’ MRO implementation of TOC/Critical Chain resulted in an 80% overall reduction
in piece part cycle time, a 50% reduction in landing gear cycle time, and a 30% reduction in
On- •
engine cycle time

Tim •Decreased cycle times directly influence revenue on performance-based MRO contracts as
well
e •
•One of Dresser-Rand’s key strategic goals is to increase the amount of long term,
Co performance-based MRO contracts it books
mpl •
•While the throughput aspect of falling cycle times has already been addressed, there are
eti substantial strategic benefits to be gained from the associated shorter lead times and
increased on-time deliveries that come with it
on •
•On-time completion of projects builds client relationships, acting as a bulwark
against external competition, and providing a wedge between late competitors
and their clients

•Shorter lead times allow clients greater flexibility and capacity to handle
emergencies
