    eBay (OTC: eBay - $13.28)

    Long Term Rating: Market PerformLong Term Target Price: $13

    Mid-Atlantic Institutional Research

    Investment Summary: Our view of eBay is founded on a few key factors. First we believe that thePayments platform is stronger than the Marketplaces platform and should hold up better during thismacro economic downturn. The Marketplaces segment will continue to see negative sequentialgrowth through the end of 3Q09, turning positive in 4Q09. Finally, the communications segmentshould continue its global growth despite the challenging economic environment.

    Pressure on margins over the last few years has pushed eBay to record lows. Despite the low valua-

    tion, we do not see any reason for the stock to trade much higher than its current levels until earn-ings improve in late 2009. We rate eBay a market perform stock and initiate a price target of $13,which is equivalent to 8.8x our 2009 earnings estimate.

    Key Points

    Weakness in the core marketplaces segment will continue throughout most of 2009. Theweakness in the core marketplaces segment will generally be offset by growth in the paymentsand communications segment, but not enough to translate into EPS growth.

    Competition is formidable, but eBay still well positioned. Amazon continues to be themain competitor of eBays core marketplaces segment and has re-launched a payment com-petitor to PayPal. We believe that PayPal is well positioned as is the communications seg-

    ment of the company.

    Difficult macro environment will test management. With traffic trends heading lower aswe see fewer consumers having disposable cash available for the type of merchandise that isavailable on eBay. Management could face pricing pressure from competitors as well as sev-eral calls for a general re-organization in the core Marketplaces segment.

    Earnings expectations are lower for 2009. We estimate net revenues to be lower in 2009,something that growth investors would not want to see. The downturn in revenue will trans-late into a decrease in EPS despite cost controls that will help margins. We rate the stock aMarket Perform and have price target of $13, which represents a multiple of 8.8x our 2009earnings estimate.

    Introduction to eBay

    Founded in 1995, eBay and its subsidiaries provide online Marketplaces for the sale of goods and services, anonline Payments platform and an online Communications platform. Along with its three major segments,(Marketplaces, Payments and Communications) eBay also operates marketing sites such as Rent.com,Shopping.com, Stumbleupon.com and several classified sites.

    eBays primary online marketplace is its auction site which, during of 3Q08, had 85.7 million active registeredusers and over 700 million new listings. The products and services sold via eBay fill the entire spectrum of theglobal economy. Auctions can be formatted in the traditional sense or with a fixed price. The fixed price auctionscontain a buy it now button which ends the auction at time of sale. The site also features Dutch auctions andseveral bidding and listings tools for both buyers and sellers.

    PayPal is the major portion of the Payments platform that also include BillMeLater.com. During 3Q08, thepayments segment of eBay had 65.3 million active registered accounts that enacted 214.5 million transactions thatexchanged approximately $14.8 billion dollars. PayPal has become the de facto standard for online paymentsdespite being it what is quickly becoming a crowded field.

    eBays Communications segment is based around Skype, a Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) application thatallows users to place computer-to-computer calls as well as computer-to-cellular calls and computer-to-land linecalls. Video conference and chat tools are some of the features of Skype which, at the end of the 3Q08, had 370million users.

    eBay also runs several other sites that make up its marketing services revenue. These sites include the previouslymentioned Rent.com and Stumbleupon.com as well as Shopping.com and StubHub.com. eBay also operatesclassified sites such as Kijiji.com. Marketing services account for nearly $1B of the $8.5B in annual revenues.

    Industry Outlook

    When looking at the industry for eBay, one must look at the four separate segments and their respective outlooks.The marketing services segment touches the three major components of the company, but can be broken outthrough the financial statements. Marketing services by itself relies heavily on advertising and fees for itsclassified style websites. The macro environment has proven difficult for any business that relies on advertising as

    budgets have been cut significantly.

    The Marketplace segment, or the corebusiness of eBay is facing significantchallenges. Historically, eBay faced an80/20 problem in that 80% of its trafficwere buyers, while only 20% of its visitorswere fee generating sellers. Its maincompetitor, Amazon, has focused on thebuyers and lower prices. To furthercompound problems, during 2007 eBayinstituted rate increases for sellers, whichcaused many sellers to increase shipping

    fees.

    eBay slashed listing fees on 2/12/08 in aneffort to stem declining traffic, but thetraffic trends have not suggested that aturnaround is near. Another concessioninitiated by eBay for multiple listings was also ineffective. Alexa.com reach data shows that Amazon (AMZN:MU) has closed the gap in terms of traffic. Besides Amazon, competition also comes from sites likeOverstock.com (OSTK) and niche auction sites such as GothAuctions.com.

    The alternative payment industry has seen significant growth over the past several years. PayPal has become aleader in the industry thanks to its broad adoption and early penetration of eBay customers. Despite the near termnegative outlook for the macro environment, we believe that alternative based payments will continue to grow.Several well funded companies have launched competing services such as Checkout from Google and AmazonPayments from Amazon. Numerous start-ups have also sprung up, notably Revolution Money which was founded

    by Steve Case (founder of AOL).

    While the success PayPal historically depended on the volume of merchandise traded via eBay, recent efforts toexpand beyond the auction market have insulated the division from the slowdown in auctions. Still highlyinfluenced by the traffic and gross merchandise value traded at eBay, PayPal looks to maintain vigorous growthover the next several quarters.

    In the coming year, we anticipate more of a focus on the mobile payment platform. In the same manner thatnumerous applications have been developed for the iPhone or smartphones, we expect PayPal to developsomething similar for mobile payments.

    In the Communications segment, the competition is simply vast. With over 370 million registered users, webelieve Skype is on the verge of an explosive growth in usage. The provider of VoIP services has a built-in basethat dwarfs any cellular carrier but has seen little in the way of revenue. Skype will likely benefit from the nearterm weakness in the macro environment in that consumers will look for inexpensive and free services to supplantservices that carry high monthly fees.

    Other macro factors that will boost Skype usage include the impending build out of Wi-Max services. Baltimore isscheduled to launch a service soon, and several US cities will follow throughout the year. The high customer costsfor Wi-Max service will make a portable Skype phone an attractive benefit of the service. The inclusion of Wi-Fifeatures on smartphones also points to opportunity for Skype.

    Despite the large number of users Skype and many of its VoIP brethren have, failed to monetize subscribers to asignificant degree. We believe 2009 will be more of the same with full scale adoption and increased monetizationstill likely to be more than a year away.

    Competitive Landscape

    eBay competes against a large number of companies in many different sectors. With payments and marketplacesbeing more intertwined than communications, there is no perfect comparison. Certain companies fall into multiplecategories, but are focused on areas outside of the marketplaces that eBay is in.

    The marketplaces segment faces direct competition from Amazon and Overstock.com. Amazon, with its focus onbeing a new product retailer also competes in the used product market that has proven to be a thorn in the side ofeBay. The fixed price model and focus on the buyer has helped Amazon gain market share from eBay. Buyersmay search for a product at both eBay and Amazon, but will know the exact price at the Amazon site. This worksbetter for more common items, but not as well for more unique items that are better served with an auction.Selling on Amazon is different from eBay in that large sellers pay a monthly fee, and a referral fee which is apercentage of the total sale. Some items (books, videos, music and software) also carry a small per item closingfee. The lack of a listing fee allows for larger inventories to be listed and removes timing risk. In essence,

    Amazon offers an online shelf and eBay offers a limited sale time. Viewed another way, Amazon sets a definedprofit percentage, while eBay gives the opportunity for significant upside or a potential loss if the item is not sold.

    Another competitor in the Marketplaces segment is Overstock.com (OSTK). As a direct competitor they allowindividuals to list items for sale, but more than that they are seen as the preferred platform for liquidators. Most ofthe items on Overstock are refurbished or discontinued merchandise which narrows its addressable market. We donot view Overstock as a significant competitive threat to the business model for eBay. It is, however, competitivein the area of large scale liquidations (an area that gives some pricing power to the merchandiser rather than theliquidator).

    PayPal and the Payments platform competes against numerous companies. Amazon Payments is the paymenttechnology for the e-tailer and technology services provider. Amazon Payments re-launched in July 2008, a signalthat its momentum is improving as traffic continues to trend higher for Amazon. We believe that retailers,especially large retailers, will balk at this offering as has ToysRUs and Borders, who believed that Amazon usedthe data they gathered in operating their online stores to better compete with them. This is a fundamental

    advantage that PayPal has over Amazon Payments.

    Google Checkout is also a direct competitor but has seen little acceptance outside of online companies. Blue Nile(NILE ) was an early adopter of Google Checkout when a $10 per order subsidy was offered. Since that time, wehave heard little else about Google Checkout.

    Any discussion of PayPals competitors must address the threat from MasterCard and Visa, the de facto standardfor payments for several decades. We believe that other platforms will continue to eat into the overall marketshare of the major credit card companies. There are a number of factors that point to the growth of alternativepayment solutions, the least of which being the recent credit crisis. We believe that the credit card companies arefacing significant pressure from the overall economic environment. We believe PayPal is likely to gain share fromMasterCard and Visa during this economic downturn.

    PayPal also faces challenges from startups like Revolution Money, which is back by AOL co-founder, Steve Case.Although Revolution Money competes more directly with credit cards, it does show the need for alternativepayment solutions beyond MasterCard and Visa.

    The Communications platform, which is anchored by Skype, faces competition from numerous companies. Withdirect competition coming from any VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) provider, Skype competes with Google,Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, and Vonage to name a few. Other telecommunications companies like AT&T andVerizon could also be considered indirect competition. Most instant messenger platforms now allow for voicecommunication, so they could be considered direct competition with Skype. What Skype has that many of itscompetitors dont is a massive user base of approximately 370 million registered users.

    Risks

    We believe that there are some inherent risks that all technology companies face and they include, but are not

    limited to, the loss of high caliber human capital and inability to adapt to changes in the business environment.

    eBay also faces other significant risks like increasing competition. Amazon and Google are their maincompetitors and they are both well funded and have high quality management teams.

    A pricing war with Amazon and or Overstock could negatively impact earnings, as traffic patterns havealready shown .

    The macro economic slowdown has already had a negative impact on eBay. Should it continue webelieve that consumers will have less disposable funds available for purchasing merchandise on eBay. Alack of buyers could force sellers to look for other platforms to sell their merchandise.

    eBay continues to face integration risks associated with its acquisition of Skype. If eBay is unsuccessful

    in integrating Skype, eBay may fail to realize the projected synergistic benefits of the acquisition. Thiscould limit eBays ability to make future acquisitions..

    The company needs to carefully manage its future changes in pricing, products and policies. The recentchanges to the buyer/seller feedback features also need to be carefully managed.

    Other risks can be found in the 10-K

    Earnings Analysis

    eBay has a stellar record when it comes to managing Wall Street expectations. Over the last several quarters, eBayhas beaten both the top and bottom lines. We believe the current macro environment will provide significantchallenges to management. Despite a 10% reduction in workforce that ended in 3Q08, we believe that thecompany will have trouble beating the consensus estimate by more than a penny per share. Our estimate for 4Q08is $0.40, one penny higher than the consensus estimate of $0.39.

    Valuat ion

    Valuation of a conglomerate is an inexact science, and while eBay is not a conglomerate it does exhibit some ofthe same characteristics. With growth rates turning negative in the Marketplace segment, and Payments &Communications segments still in significant growth modes, a sum of the parts valuation looks to be the best wayto value the company.

    We recognize that while the core Marketplace segment has seen less growth, it is still an essential piece to theoverall puzzle. PayPal still draws a significant amount of business from the eBay Marketplaces. Thus, a divesturewould not be beneficial to the company or shareholders. The cross-use of PayPal and the core eBay Marketplaceshas been steadily improving and integration of accounts remains a priority. The same cross-use of Skype andPayPal was a primary factor in eBays decision to buy the Communications hub. That said, the full integration ofall three applications has not been as successful to date.

    Over the last several years, margins have declined. This decline has taken its toll on its multiples, namely its priceto earnings multiple. As the chart show, the average P/E multiple has been dropping along with the companysmargins. We believe that this trend is at an end due mainly to the steady earnings that the company will report in2008-2009.

    We believe that a multiple of 8.3x 2009 earnings is where the market will keep eBay until there is a significantchange in the trend for margins. Margin expansion will undoubtedly lead to multiple expansion seeing as the stockhas been trading near its all time lows.Segment Analysis

    The macro environment has exacerbated the difficulties of the Marketplaces division. We estimate that revenuesfrom the Marketplaces division will drop sequentially through 3Q09. A rebound of the economy in the second halfof the of 2009 may not be seen in the Marketplaces division until late the third quarter. We do, however, anticipatea strong 4Q09.

    We believe the Payments segment will see a shorter downturn than the Marketplaces segment. 3Q08 saw a 1%

    sequential decline in revenue, and accordingly, we expect this trend to stretch through 1Q09. Our estimates callfor a faster rebound for the Payments segment, with minimal growth anticipated in 2Q09 and more robust growthin the second half of the year.

    Communications has been immune to the revenue downturns that the two other segments have experienced. Duein part to its small relative size, its small growth rate is anticipated to continue unabated. This growth amidst thedownturn prove the importance of the Skype to the company. That said, growth from this segment needs to reachdouble digits in 2010.

    Cash and Liquidity

    eBay ended 2008 with $3.2B in cash and equivalents, and $1B in borrowings from its credit facility. The increasein debt is due to the financing of the BillMeLater acquisition which was completed in the quarter. Due to theacquisition, the company halted all stock repurchases in the quarter. We expect the company to continue itsrepurchase of stock following the restricted period after an earnings announcement.

    The company generated $684M of operating cash flow and $525M in free cash flow in 4Q08. For the full year,operating cash flow was $2.88B and free cash flow came in a $2.32B.

    Conclusion

    Our view of eBay is founded on a few key factors. First we believe that the Payments platform is stronger than theMarketplaces platform and should hold up better during this macro economic downturn. The Marketplacessegment will continue to see negative sequential growth through the end of 3Q09, turning positive in 4Q09.Finally, the communications segment should continue its global growth despite the challenging economicenvironment.

    Pressure on margins over the last few years has pushed eBay to record lows. Despite the low valuation, we do notsee any reason for the stock to trade much higher than its current levels until earnings improve in late 2009. Werate eBay a market perform stock and initiate a price target of $13, which is equivalent to 8.8x our 2009 earnings

    estimate.
