Local Corp.: Core IP and Growing Markets Could Mean Business

Posted byLaura Swartz

November 21, 2013 at 10:40 AM

Online media company Local Corporation (LOCM-NASDAQ) reported this morning on new market research commissioned from Borrell Associates. Among its services, Borrell works to gauge ad spending in local markets. The company forecasts that the online pay-per-call ad spending sector (also known as “enhanced directory assistance”) could be worth $8.1 billion by 2018, up from a current value of approximately $1.7 billion. Moreover, business use of this form of online advertising is anticipated to more than double by 2018. As more and more online searches for local goods and services are being performed on mobile devices (as opposed to on the traditional desktop platform), Local Corp. and other industry experts believe that pay-per-call as a mobile lead generation ad model will be key to generating revenue off of mobile consumers.

So What Could This Mean for Local Corp. (LOCM)?

For the past several years, Local Corp. has been expecting the growth of pay-per-call for mobile searches and has been pursuing a competitive patent position in this space. To date, the company states that it has been issued five patents related to pay-per-call advertising solutions, which it anticipates will help the company generate revenue.

Und selbst hier haben wir eine Divergenz mit dem Faktor 6.  

- Settlement reached: In September, the lawsuit against Fry's  Electronics regarding the infringement of Local's  U.S. patent 7062453, (‘453’) patent, which covers
messaging systems for dynamic networked commerce architecture, was settled to the mutual satisfaction of the parties and Fry's Electronics agreed to license the patent.

- Continuing our efforts with partners to enforce our intellectual property rights.

- We believe we have the opportunitv for strong monetization of our proven patents.

Company Overview - January 2015  

Continuing our efforts with partners to enforce our intellectual property rights could be very important by the 5 important Pay Per Call-Patents (of 13 patents) of Local Corp. One could be, that Local Clorp sell this patents to a bigger and financial stronger partner and licencing them for free for the own use.

Only idiots ignore, that the revenues was lower but the cost of revenues, too, and in the result the EBITDA is unchanged

Fiscal Year 2014 of Local Corp
Full year 2014 revenue is expected to be between $82.8 million and $83.3 million, compared with prior guidance of $87 million to $90 million. Full year 2014 net loss is expected to be in the range of $5.5 million to $5.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA* is expected to be in the range of $2.2 million to $2.4 million, in line with previous guidance of $2.0 million to $2.4 million.

If you buy potatoes for $10 and sell it for $15, you win $5. And if you buy potatoes for $7 and sell it for $ 12, you win $5. Same happened by Local Corp: Local Corp had lower revenues from bought traffic and must pay less for this traffic.

Because a lot of idiots don't understand this simple interdependence, the situation of today is a reason for a strong buy.
Now an Ebitda-range of $2.2 million to $2.4 million against $2.0 million to $2.4 Million in the previous guidance.

Local Corp has through the Pigeon-Update of Google a lower RUV, but must pay on the other site a lower amount to Google for the from Google bought traffic. The result are lower revenues of Local Corp, but a little bit better EBITDA.

Angies List in compare
Revenues of Angies List are about the 4-fold of Local Corp (yearly revenues of Local Corp ab out equal with the revenues of Angis List in a quarter), but the market-cap of Angies was yesterday with 311.89 million 20-fold of the idiotic low 15.33 million of Local Corp – a jole by the extreme bad numbers of Angies List.


Investors gave Angie’s List a bad review Wednesday, as disappointing third quarter earnings sent the stock plummeting more than 18%.
For a company that has never seen a profitable year, the question for investors wasn’t if Angie's List ANGI +2.4% would lose money this quarter, but how much.  The consumer review aggregator and online marketplace posted a third-quarter net loss of $5.2 million, 61% smaller than last year’s $13.5 million loss, but still disappointing to Wall Street analysts. The per-share loss of 9 cents was bigger than the consensus estimate of 2 cents.
Wednesday’s stock slide signals investors are dialing back expectations for when profits will actually materialize, says Needham & Co. analyst Kerry Rice. The company is struggling to attract a critical mass of customers and businesses – both of which pay subscription fees to Angie’s List – without pouring excessive amounts of money into marketing.
“I don’t take any of this to mean that Angie’s list is failing as a company,” Rice says. “It’s more a question about timing and how fast the company can grow and become profitable.”
Revenue growth isn’t the problem, as Angie’s List posted 24% higher sales from a year ago at $81.3 million. Expenses are down slightly too, as the company spent spent $22.5 million on marketing in the third quarter, a decline of 20% over last year, bringing the acquisition cost per new member down 16%. The problem is the pace of membership growth fell too, with new membership additions down 6% from the prior year.

Absurd sind nach meiner Meinung die Bewertuzngsunterschiiede zwischen dem deutschen Local Search-Wert My Hammer und dem US-Local Search-Wert Local Corp, denn My Hammer hat trotz miserabler Zahlen mit 1,18 ein 6,5-mal so hohes Umsatzmultiple wie Local Corp.

Local Corp hat ein bei einer Marktkkapitalisierung von 15,56 Millionen und dem mittleren Revenuewert für 2015 von 84 Millionen ein Umsatzmultiple von 0,19.

"Income from settlement and patent licensing
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we reached a settlement agreement in the patent infringement action against Fry’s Electronics, Inc. As part of the settlement agreement, we received a one-time patent license fee payment of $700,000 related to prior infringement of our patent."

We have identified hundreds of websites and applications that we believe infringe upon this patent and believe there are likely thousands more. We have set a clear course to begin the process of licensing this patent and expect to continue to report the results of these monetization efforts with greater frequency. Overall, we currently believe that a conservative estimate of potential future licensing fees that could be generated from this one patent is $100 million.

Andrew D’Silva - Merriman Capital  First, regarding the fraudulent traffic, are the lost sales opportunities you’re experiencing recoupable, back to 100% where you were, and network traffic back in the first and second quarter of this year? And do you feel like the anti-traffic provisions that you have in place are all you need at this time?

Fred Thiel - Chairman & CEO
Great question. One of the reasons for Integrity is to filter traffic that we deem as fraudulent, but it’s also to maximize the quality of the traffic for the advertiser. So if we were to just go back to the prior advertisers that we had, and run Integrity on their traffic, we wouldn’t end up back at the same levels that we had before, because a certain portion of that traffic might be fraudulent.

We throttled back our traffic purposely in Q3 to make sure that we were giving our advertisers the best experience. That being said, having just been at Ad Tech and spent lots of time in front of partners and customers, we are very confident that there is great demand both on the advertiser side and on the publisher side to come onboard with Integrity and get started.

And we feel that Integrity has the opportunity to allow us to expose our advertisers to a wider base of publishers, and net-net, down the road, yet the business could come back to its prior volumes, possibly. But it will be with a different set of publishers. So I think we as a team are all very optimistic with the opportunities, and both advertisers and publishers are looking very favorably on the Integrity product.
