All Things Considered, Online Advertising Growth is Expected

  U.S. online ad spending to reach $24.9
  billion in 2008
      Reforecast down from $25.9 billion
      forecasted in March 2008
      17.4% growth is significant relative to
      other media sectors (eMarketer 2008)
  Search remains the dominant category

  IDC recently stated its previous forecast
  of 10% growth in U.S. online ad spending
  in 2009 to be "too optimistic“


  The number of dissenting voices and
  skeptics is increasing with regard to
  positive online advertising growth %
  in 2009

Expectations and themes for 2009
 IAB 2009 Themes (source Web site)
    Interactive continues to grow despite strong economic headwinds
    Medium girded by its breadth of options, from above-the-line to below-the-line
    Consumers increasingly embracing digital media in all forms
    Share shift by marketers from offline to online to tap into the variety, reach,
    targetability, and effectiveness of interactive media
    Emerging platforms provide new opportunities for marketers to engage and learn
    from their customers
 Google 2009 Themes (source 10K)
    Expect continued growth in the future, but at a declining growth rate
    Improve display ad relevance and terminate relationships with network members
    who do not meet quality requirements
    Acquisitions that enhance expertise in engineering, technology and product offerings
    Grow its own sites since profit margins for AdSense are lower because of shared
    advertiser fees
    Increasing cost of revenues as a result of forecasted increases in traffic acquisition
    costs, data center costs and credit card and other transaction fees, as well as
    content acquisition costs

Peachtree Media Advisors 2009 Themes

  Back to the fundamentals – Media 101:
      Media informs and helps people become a better at what they do or want to do
  The new “scale” will be specific eyeballs, not just traffic
      Continued movement to niche-environments with category-specific advertisers
      100K gamers or green enthusiasts are more valuable to marketers than 1mm
      entertainment buffs
  Social media is an evolving train that cannot be stopped (cut off – the long
  tail will reemerge)
      Social media will get better, stronger and more meaningful even as brand
      advertisers pull back
      Recommendations by real or perceived friends are the most powerful forms of
      influence
  Online video has an identity crises - television viewership is at an all-time
  high
  Interactive marketing services will be revived by e-commerce companies
      Lead gen and performance based offering higher quality traffic will be preferred to
      display advertising

What a recovery will look like (in a perfect new media world)

   New Debt Issuance – Q1 2009
       Paper flowing indicates confidence in expected future cash flows by corporations
   Commodities Prices – Q2 2009
       Decrease in gold indicates a flight to better returns on investment versus quality
       Increase in oil prices indicates more goods being shipped and more commerce
   Interest Rates – Q3 2009
       Increase in interest rates represents a competitive environment for investment capital
   Stabilized home prices – Q4 2009
       Housing stabilization will be helped from stimulus package and relatively recession-proof sectors in
       the economy (healthcare, government, college, etc.) producing first time buyers
   Jobs – Q1 2010
       A decrease in the unemployment rate is a lagging indicator that the economy is growing
       Public market equity values will begin to increase significantly at this point
   Substantial Increase in Advertising – Q2 2010
       Marketing and advertising will increase significantly to reach a re-energized consumer
   Increased M&A activity – Q3 2010
       Buying is typically preferred to building – who has time to build when Christmas is right around the
       corner?

Ad Spending Moving to Niche Environments

 The effects that cable television had on broadcast TV are the same effects
that niche Web sites are having on the large portals…sites developing niche
       content are increasingly attracting loyal and devoted audiences


  Brand advertisers have cut
  the long-tail out of their
  budgets (for the moment)
      Social networking and user-
      generated content sites are
      evolving into niche

      this time it is category-

   By 2012, more than 145 million people

The newspaper bail‐out could be the blogosphere

  Social media is transforming the way people interact
      The number of people getting their product & lifestyle information from a blog after a
      Web search is exponentially higher than that for newspapers
      Blogging receives a disproportionately small share of the advertising spend
  The #1 problem with blogging is credibility
  Newspapers must radically rethink their business models
      Becoming a rating service or journalistic grader for the blogging community is one
      way to generate more revenue
      Newspapers can become a TRUSTe for journalistic integrity and brand-safe
      environment
      Bloggers could pass some type of test to become a NY Times, Wall Street Journal
      or USA Today Accredited News Source
      Newspapers would police the integrity of the content
          Penalties for not sourcing facts

          Discontinued membership would affect advertising dollars

  Newspapers could leverage their ad sales to develop blogger ad networks

Place based media/digital signage

  Digital out-of-home companies are at the intersection of several important
  “long-term” trends
      Shift from traditional to alternative media channels
      Shift from static to digital media
      Increasing advertiser awareness in the power of the retail environment
      Increasing need for mass reach media vehicles with local targeting capabilities
      out-of-home represents a substantial roll-up opportunity still
  Advertisers “get it,” but do not want to risk it…at least right now
      Digital OOH companies are convincing brand marketer first and then the next step
      is brand marketer to get advertising agency on board
      Sales cycle is unsustainably long
  Targeted lifestyle destinations with endemic advertising bases are better
  positioned
      Consumer leisure destinations
      Bars and restaurants
      Spas and gyms
      Movie theaters, parks and family entertainment centers

New Media 
M&A Environment




       26   PEACHTREE MEDIA ADVISORS, INC. 
Current M&A Environment ‐

  It is a buyer’s market except buyers are not buying
      Value is directly tied to expected future cash flows and there is disagreement with
      estimates
      Few new media targets are profitable
      ROI on previous splashy acquisitions and investments is difficult to calculate in
      this environment
  Seller choices are to be profitable, raise capital in a difficult environment or
  lower valuation expectations
      Online media valuations across the board have decreased
      There is a clear disconnect with valuation expectations today and where they were
      at one and two years ago
      Sellers refuse to sell at current valuation multiples
  Premium will be placed on the fundamentals: Media101
      Highly engaged audience – media kit with targeting a specific demographic group
      Recurring and entrenched category specific advertising base
      Transactions to settle in the 10x to 12x EBITDA range
          Valuation gap: Buyers want 6x to 8x EBITDA; sellers want 14x to 16x EBITDA

                                           27             PEACHTREE MEDIA ADVISORS, INC. 
What this means for New Media/Internet Sellers

  Interactive advertising and marketing services valuations have dropped
  significantly in the last year
      In the near-term, buyers will put a premium on EBITDA, direct relationships with
      advertisers and consistent revenue
      Technology and application providers will raise money but have few buyers
  In the short-term, this is not a good capital raise environment for digital media
  companies
      VC’s have taken a “picks and shovels” mentality to digital media – they are only
      focusing on tools, enabling technology and applications
          Unfortunately, the advertising gold for the publisher/miners is fickle and elusive
      Follow the money and read what the boss reads
          Every VC professional under the age of 40 is reading up on green tech and healthcare

  The digital media M&A market will rebound in late 2009 and early 2010
      Buyers will expect a one-to-one relationship with highly engaged audiences
          Companies relying totally on ad networks for revenue and search for its audience will be
          at a slight disadvantage when the acquisition wave starts
          Buyers will seek to buy new and social media “brands” first

     Ability to structure an earn-out                  Be a consolidator and not a “consolidatee”

     infrastructures



 Strategic Acquirer Cons                            Private Equity/VC Cons
     Having someone to report to                       Lower valuation
     Sticking to a rigid budget                        May be difficult to change course (PE/VC

     employees (“we own you”)                          landscape as well as Strategic Buyer)

     Potential loss of corporate identity              Typically unfavorable deal structures when
                                                       timeframe is more than 7 years

                                                       interest rate is more shares instead of cash
                                                       resulting in loss of control

      Functional network operating centers (OOH)
      Working and scalable infrastructure
      Proven and capable management teams

      Leverage their existing infrastructure (back-office accounting, sales & marketing)
      Pump their products through your existing sales channels

Maximizing the value of your company for a financial or strategic buyer

   Strategic buyers seek to acquire at least one of the following:
       Growing businesses
       New technology
       Customer base - ability to sell their products to your customers
       Product/media channel - leveraging their sales infrastructure to secure more of
       their current advertisers’ marketing budgets
       The key to maximizing value is to find the potential acquirer that will gain
       the most from owning your business
   Financial investors seek to manage their risk by investing in companies with
       Proven management teams
       Existing customers
       Clear problem solved or defined need
       Large and growing addressable market
       Scalable business models
       The key to maximizing value is to be in multiple discussions with investors
       that specialize/target investment opportunities in your sector
