Depending on the program, Content has a huge value
as well for exclusive site/nice programs. |

BTW...EBIDTA = Earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes, and amortization. Basically its your true net profit, without the stuff your accountant uses to lower that number for tax purposes.

The numbers are pretty close in our industry, all depends on the sites, products sold, etc.
1.4 - 1.8 x Annual is pretty right on.

Congress changes the depreciation rules all the time though so maybe the D isn't that important anymore. Sometimes they let you write off a capital expenditure all in the year the purchase was made.....and then they change the rules and make you depreciate it over 5 years....so maybe the current rules don't require a D......beats me, the CPA just tells me where to sign and who to make the checks out to.

True to a point.
I have known a few programs that sold based more on their content then their revenue. Content is king, every knows that! Revenue is a plus along with rebills and daily traffic. |

Lensman said once that an adult business is worth 3-6 months profit and that's it. As volatile as our business is and as shaky as billing solutions have been lately I'd be very scared to wait 1.6 to 2 years to make my initial investment back....and of course to make it back in that time assumes that you won't lose any webmasters or webmaster traffic and your conversion and retention rates will remain roughly the same after the sale. Those are VERY BIG assumptions. ![]()

I would like to check in on this thread in 30 days to see if Marty actually buys anyone. Same topic is posted on about 10 boards.
A good way to make yourself seem like a player is to talk like one. Will he actually buy anyone? We'll see. |

That is exactly why there arn't a lot of transactions (buying and selling) in this business. It almost doesn't make sense to sell for sellers because buyuers won't pay prime. |

I am sure he was saying that because he wanted to buy something. 3-6 months would be insane. Why would anyone sell a profitable business for 6 months profit? Unless they were running from the law. |

But think about it....if you had to start over from scratch tomorrow and build a program up to the level that yours is at now would it cost you 1.75 million? Hell no. And would it take you 1.6 to 2 years to do it? Hell no. So anyone with the know-how could do it theirselves for a third of the price, and anyone without the know how would go bankrupt shortly after you stepped out of the picture and left them on their own. That's why most people don't sell and not many people are out there buying.

How long have people been paying $35 for a $2.99 transaction?
Have any major programs changed hands in the last 7 years? |

Anytime I see anyone use the term EBITA
I must say I get impressed- It just tells me there are some REAL businessmen this left in this business. Thanks Marty you gave me some hope going into this tradeshow that I will meet and talk to some old schoolers who know about business and don't do business with people just because they bought them a drink... :-))

Like I said this business is very volatile, its not like you're buying general electric or coca cola where you can have a realistic 10 year business plan/outlook. We don't even know what's going to happen in this business next year. You're right that it would be insane to sell for 6 months profit, unless you're just ready to retire and don't want to let the business die....but that's why there's not lots of people buying and selling in this business. (Pierre of worldsex being the exception to the rule of course)

Lenny, it's a lot harder to start up then you think. You will soon find out Grasshopper! ![]() Walking into a profitable business that has so much content that you can open lots of sites is great! We have enough video to make 40 - 70 min DVD movies. Traffic and daily sales in place are a huge factor. I am not selling anything, but if the right offer comes my way I may consider. |
