Posted at 25/7/2012 12:34 by wsgrocksit They used the word "May" not "Will"!crosswire 25 Jul'12 - 12:28 - 73696 of 73696 Yell warns review will lead to shareholder dilution Share 25 July 2012 Phone directories company Yell Group said it was considering options that may result in a dilution of existing shareholders' interests, as part of a capital structure review. "The group intends to consult with its key stakeholders, including lenders and shareholders over the coming months in order to put in place an appropriate group capital structure within the current financial year," the company said, adding that no decision had been made yet. Yell, which publishes paper phone books around the world, has been working to build on its digital offerings but continues to be weighed down by a massive load of debt. Net debt stood at £2.18 billion as of June 30. In May, the company reported a massive £1.42 billion loss before tax for last year and said it appointed Goldman Sachs and Greenhill as advisers to assist it with putting in place a new capital structure. For the first quarter ended June 30, Yell said revenue fell 15% to £331 million and that the adverse revenue and margin trends it reported in May continued to impact financial performance |

Posted at 19/7/2012 18:45 by stud-muffin Its hardly guessing Westy the revenue decline will be dramatic - hence they gave no guidance last time.My source tells me the decades long standing advertiser in the Book have given up or taken the smallest ads available and that key sales staff are leaving because the product is almost unsellable. Have you seen the latest Book? I have seen four different areas and they are little bigger than a travel edition of Cosmo. This is still Yells No1 revenue - forget Moonfruit and the rest wwhich are currently mostly free the book is what pays the wages and gives Yell its cashflow and the book is dying out faster than Yell thought possible. Like the Autotrader the paper copy is dead and few are seeing any trafic generated via Yell.com to warrant the payment - see Yells own numbers for that pile of horse poop. Safe prediction 1p on Thursday. |
Posted at 18/7/2012 23:07 by leaderzzz Evening.. I hope everyone is enjoying the yell rollacoster! jeeze!Refreshing my mind to the 'yell' website and the recently purchased business's websites (moonfruit/ netbiscuits etc) and must admit, there is a complete and I mean 'complete' change of business going on with yell.. The strategy looks like the SME marketplace is literally going to be flooded with Yells sibling business's and associated companies. Moon fruit = web business to individuals and small business Hibu = small to medium business Netbiscuits = mobile platforms + IT solutions Bazaarvoice = social media and Trending Microsoft 365 = Software and IT soloutions (SME) They will have if correctly implemented, the digital small business marketplace in the UK covered They have had a half hearted go at this already with the Yell Ver 1.0 web site. Version 2.0 is obviously without the tired Yell brand dragging it back. I supposed Its just a question of how much of an achilles heel the debt will continue to burden Yell... Like most say, yell does have legs, but its shoelaces are tied together! |
Posted at 15/7/2012 11:31 by stud-muffin Digital roll out plans...They are exactly that - plans. The digital market has little loyalty and is relatively cheap to enter - see Moonfruit for £20m? The competition wil and is immense and the only thing that gives value is scale - google/amazon/ebay/r Sadly Yell/Hibu havee neither and while Yell/Yellow pages is known I am far from convinced they have much loyalty. They were very hard nosed as a monopoly and fondness for them was based strictly on results. Now aside of regions in the Uk where the oldies retire to the sme's of the UK look (wrongly in some cases) to google and their own webdesign /cheapo outfits to create an online presence. Paper is dead to them and the oldies are well oldies so....... The outcome a very much smaller company unable to draw digital revenue (accounting allocation in any event) from selling paper and digital combined as the original introduction is gone - paper not wanted. Net result a huge reduction in turnover and some sizeable layoff costs as the current model is unsustainable and at this point we are visiting the land of real losses on the balance sheet and negative cashflow. Then if not before Yell are toast and the remains Hibu plus whatever scaled down version of print is sold off by the owners which will not be the current ones. Any hope of a more positive outcome here is defying logic and the recent past. As a final twist of the knife the vital SME market Yell used to dominate are being visciously taken down across all its markets (not sure about Latam). I beleive the results will be grim just like the last four years worth. Expect a new low of 0.7 - 0.8p |
Posted at 13/7/2012 17:39 by ninja 19 BonesMaybe you should ask YELL why they told FT and not via a RNS, about the potential breach of covenant. My belief was everyone understood why GS was taken on board . Furthermore since that Article, they said recession hit Spain took a hammering on revenue, now Recession UK too. Yell admits debt poses threat to future By Michael Kavanagh and Mark Wembridge Yell Group said that worsening trading conditions have made the publisher of print and online directories more likely to breach lending covenants this year, raising questions over its future as a going concern. The admission came as Yell, publisher of the UK's Yellow Pages, revealed it was renaming itself Hibu as part of its "transformation ... into a predominantly digital business".

Posted at 12/7/2012 13:59 by ianio5691 Just found this as well....old but now very relevant....Yell Group Announces Strategic Partnership with Microsoft Wednesday, July 13, 2011 Here's some exciting news that grabbed my attention: this week, the British local search provider Yell Group, which owns Yellowbook here in the U.S., announced that it is forming a new global strategic alliance with Microsoft. According to the press release, the deal will allow both companies, to "[take] advantage of their complementary strengths and expertise in the delivery of innovative online advertising and business solutions to assist small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) reach and engage consumers." Components of the deal include: ■Microsoft and Yell will capitalize on Microsoft's various search platforms (including Bing and Yahoo! Search) by joining together to offer compelling search, mobile and local advertising solutions to SMBs. Bloomberg reports that business listing results on yell.com will now appear on Bing. ■Yell will offer its 1.3 million customers across the U.S. (through Yellowbook), the UK, Spain and Latin America with the full suite of Microsoft's SMB productivity and business software and cloud services, including Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics DCRM and emerging SMB-focused communications solutions. ■Microsoft will help Yell accelerate its new cloud-based services, which will provide Yell's customers will access to these new digital offerings. This new Yell-Microsoft partnership is yet another example of how local search companies are coming together to leverage one another's strengths to deliver even more value for their customers. As we've seen, the linking of our industry's established local sales teams with new technologies and advertising platforms is proving to be a major driving force for future opportunities. |
