    Friend Finder IPO Today

    http://www.xbiz.com/news/133897

    The thing that i love most about this is the numbers "The company had $346 million in revenue for the 12 months ending Dec. 31."

              I believe the debt is from their acquisition of friend finder.

                                  Down almost 25% granted the overall market is down today. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the coming weeks.

                                    dating companies that went public in europe are going very very well though, lets see how it goes.

                                    In any case, its exciting when a company from our industry is listed, doesnt happen too often...

                                              The thing that I love most about numbers is not the revenue but the profit, and in friendfinder's case, they had a net loss of $43.2 million over that 12 month period.

                                              Fuck Xbiz, AVN gives you more info:

                                              " The company’s revenue for 2010 was reported to be $346 million, with a net loss of $43.2 million. According to the filed statement."

                                                    They had a net loss of 43 Million just over the last 12 months. Sure their 300+ million in debt is mostly from their acquisitions, but even with out that the company is hemorrhaging money. I feel deep down inside they know its crashing, its going to all go under soon enough and some kind of way the CEO, owners, board members are using this ipo to make one big cash grab before the ship sinks, and of course screw the idiots who invest in the stock. I would bet anything they will be a penny stock or delisted, in bankruptcy protection or something in the next 1-3 years.


                                                    Look at the volume right when it opened:



                                                    That was probably Lars and Andrew cashing in on everything they had before it all goes to shit.

                                                          Last year, the company co-issued, through its subsidiary Interactive Network, a total of $551 million of debt due in 2013 and 2014 -- all to cover previous debts, according to the the filing.

                                                          "(The IPO) is such a small deal, I'd have concerns about how much debt they can actually alleviate," Buhr said.
                                                          The entire IPO proceeds don't even pay for all their debt.

                                                          Their Revenue has been flat for the last year, their loss over $30m/yr.

                                                          This stock could be a buy one day, after it collapses to 5cents on the dollar and somebody new comes in to turn the business around

FriendFinder just became EnemyFinder for IPO investors. Actually, maybe it is EnemaFinder.

                                                                                There are some brokers with clients out there today that probably wished they never heard the combined themes ?social networking? and ?adult entertainment? in the same sentence. Calling your clients to explain a sudden 20% loss has never been a fun call. It will be pretty hard for the company and the underwriters to pin a crummy IPO like this on the volatility of currencies and commodities.

And as for Penthouse, I don't even know what they do these days. Magazines are dead. Their online presence is not substantial. I think Brazzers should do an IPO.
