NEW YORK, NY, May 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) GreenCrest Capital released a first-of-its kind in-depth equity research report on privately-held online dating company eHarmony this morning. We estimate eHarmony will see 7% annualized growth in revenue over the next 5 years, and will see solid margin expansion. We are comfortable with a valuation of eHarmony in the $700 million to $900 million range, and believe the midpoint of this range, $800 million, represents fair value.

GreenCrest's analysts have performed detailed channel checks with users, competitors, and industry experts in order to supply a comprehensive and proprietary view on the true underlying value of eHarmony.

Key Points from the 39-Page Report:

• The Internet has become one of the most common, if the not the very most common, dating destination of choice. Despite decelerating growth, the online dating market will continue to exhibit stability.
• eHarmony's reputation as a place where users can meet compatible singles for meaningful, long-term relationships drives its strong brand image and puts it in an attractive competitive position relative to its peers.
• eHarmony has a stable financial profile. We project eHarmony's revenuewill grow from an estimated $274 million in 2010 to $423 million in 2016, implying a CAGR of approximately 7%. Further, we estimate the company will see EBITDA margins growing from 28% to 34%, and be able to convert 70% of its EBITDA into free cash flow.
• We view the company as a potential takeout candidate. We believe the two most likely groups of suitors are large, content-driven, domestic media companies, and major online dating properties. In our view, this effectively narrows down the list to Yahoo and AOL in the first category and Match (owned by media conglomerate IAC/Interactive) in the latter.
• We are comfortable with a valuation of eHarmony in the $700 million to $900 million range, and believe the midpoint of this range, $800 million, represents fair value.
