EARNINGS ROUND-UP: WEB 2.0 EARNINGS SEASON BEGINS
GAMING COMPANIES KICK OFF EARNINGS SEASON IN THE WEB 2 .0 UNIVERSE… Changyou.com is a China-based developer and operator of online games – including its 2-D martial arts saga, Tian Long Ba Bu. The company reported revenue growth of 26% Y/Y in the third quarter, with revenue coming in at $68.7 mil lion. Key operating metrics, which provide read-across colour on the state of broader gaming economics, include: registered accounts, up 46% Y/Y to 75.1 mil lion; active paying accounts, up 20% Y/Y to 2.4 mil lion; and average revenue per paying account, up 7% Y/Y to RMB190 (approximately US$28). Management guidance for $69-$71 mil lion in revenue in Q4 is inl ine with analyst estimates.
Sohu, another Chinese-based company that provides online portals in the People’s Republic of China, which include news, entertainment, and online gaming (through the recently spun-out Changyou.com which was previously its online gaming division), reported revenue growth of 13% Y/Y to $136.6 mill ion. Gaming revenue grew 26% Y/Y, while advertising revenue declined 2% Y/Y (as a result of challenging comparisons against the third quarter last year in which advertising spending boomed ahead of the Beij ing Olympics). Guidance for Q4 revenue of $134.5-$138.5 mil lion is sl ightly below analyst consensus of $141.7 mill ion, implying between 11% and 14% Y/Y growth for the quarter.
… AND SMALLER SOCIAL GAMING DEVELOPERS GET IN ON THE ACTION Watercooler, maker of online fan communities and sports-related social games, which boasts 26 mill ion users primari ly on Facebook and six other social networks, raised $5.5 mil lion. Adding intrigue to the deal is the fact that Betfair, the legal online gambling site for horse racing, led the transaction. We view the participation of Betfair as indicative of the attractiveness of online social gaming – indeed, with Betfair unable to operate its core business in the U.S. due to legal restrictions, an investment in Watercooler may represent a strategy that (1) brings the company closer to the lucrative U.S. market, and (2) brings social network-based gaming expertise into the company fold.
FINALLY – HALLOWEEN SEEMS TO HAVE SCARED OFF INVESTORS Deal flow slowed down to four transactions in the week – a week which saw 31 of 56 companies in our Web 2.0 public comparables l ist (trading above $1 minimum) experience price declines in the market. Average deal size in the quarter dropped from $7.8 mill ion last week to $7.6 mil lion currently.
