Growth+Profitability=ValuaonEscalaon
The Importance of Growth and Profitability Key Tenets
n Growth at the expense of profitability can be tolerated if there is a reasonableexpectation of profitability or potential for value enablement or maintenance
n Profitability and cash flow generation are the ultimate fundamental prerequisitesfor any enterprise losses can be financed with the expectation of profitability
n Growth + Profitability = Valuation Escalation: The sweet spot for value creationn Profit can be internally generated through operational success; however,
profitability has equivalent relationship with cost avoidance in M&A:
n Buy vs. Build: Avoid costs ofenterprise replicationn Tactical Strike: Avoid fallout and loss of profit from commercial attrition
n Partially explains why high valuations can be achieved for businesses in M&A

Mitigation of Risks to Growth and Profitability Valuation Impact
n Business risk takes many forms; each risk has an impact on valuation inisolation and in an M&A transaction context
n Quantifying, projecting, shaping and controlling perceptions of risk avoidance ormitigation is an essential aspect of M&A preparation and execution

Everyone at the negotiations table is more savvy, and there will be a big push to extract as much value as possible for content and content distribution.
Ian Blaine, CEO and Co-Founder, thePlatform
The massive amount of money we have been seeing poured into video ad-networks this year (2011) will allow a more
aggressive fight for market share and significant margin cuts[
] Ran Harnevo, SVP Video, AOL
During 2012 most online distributors will have the same content available,
so nowthe race can begin on who can present differentiated content first.
Jan Steenkamp, VP, Business Development, Irdeto
Companies like Ericsson, Cisco, Motorola Mobility, Technicolor and others will finally sell or spin off their set-top
divisions. The groups are generally less strategic, not growing in meaningful size (and sometimes shrinking), andIP video needs a new wave of development that current set top groups are better at starting with a clean slate. Ben Weinberger, CEO and Co-Founder, Digitalsmiths

Mobile video is continuing to grow at a phenomenal rate. Mobile web searches have grown five times over thepast two years. YouTube alone gets more than 400M mobile views a day, representing 13% of our daily views.
This means thatmore ad views will now come from smartphones and tablets. Suzie Reider, Head of Ad Sales, YouTube and Google Display
Revenue sourced directly and indirectly from linear TV advertising will be pursued to create scale, to sustain overallrevenue growth, and to defray the growing cost of securing quality, premium and super premium video content. As a
result, more aggressive monetization will drive the acute and existential need for analytical. Bill Lederer, CEO, Kantar Video

Business Insider: What's it like being a public company?
Jeremy Allaire:We often got asked, "Why are you goingpublic now?" There are a whole bunch of reasons. One is, I'vealways said we're trying to build a global independent companyand at some point that means becoming a public company.
I think the other big thing is that a large amount of our businessis with other public companies, and public companies doingbusiness with other public companies matters, there's acredibility and a transparency that's there that is very real.
I think having currency, both capital and equity currencies, is
valuable for investments or acquisitions. So those are a bunchof reasons and I think they're all quite valid.
