What I don't get is how can they possibly be doing so bad at the moment. What do u guys think? Ok, their interest expenses are very high (27% of revenues), but we're talking about a really popular online business. With a more minimalistic management, margins should be high enough to cover them.

I am pretty sure they lost $15mil on jigocity and sold it back to the previous company for $1

Actually, they are incredibly stupid and have proven that they fail at diversification. The acquisition you reference above was a colossal failure for them. Their stock price is plummeting and about to be delisted and they are close to getting to a point where their massive debt will no longer be able to be restructured. I see a point within a year where they'll have to abandon their affiliate program because they simply won't have enough cash on hand to sustain it.

"One of Bell?s failed ventures was a transaction in
September 2011 to buy an international daily-deals business
called JigoCity. FriendFinder lost about $11.5 million on
JigoCity this year, then sold the firm back to its previous
owner for $1 on August 1, according to the Aug. 14 regulatory
filing."

Its strange how people think that if company is big and popular it can not be unprofitable.

Sure, they are losing money with their core business of dating and cams.... obviously they'll do great at anything they try.

bl4h · 09-25-2012, 08:05 PM

dating and cam, theres a lot of competition out there.

they spend a lot of their resources trying things and figuring out what does well, and someone in their basement just takes the idea that cost millions to perfect and runs with it. thats the nature of the business. they've got to invest in whats new as it seems theyre doing

Shit, the sane version of me has more friends on Facebook. 4,000 likes = nothing.
