The fees for this deal were only 1.1 percent; the average IPO fees are between 5 and 8 percent of a deal. They did this becase they were hoping new tech IPOs would come to Nasdaq, Morgan Stanley would have bragging rights, getting it done and everyone making money. That's all gone now mostly.

Facebook's ad revenue fell from the 4th quarter of 2011 to the 1st quarter of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one of the key reasons is that more and more users are accessing Facebook on mobile devices. Just based on space limitations, mobile devices can't show those seven ads per page that Facebook has been used to. It's a real issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CY MUSIKER\u003c/strong>: And more than one-half of users logon via smartphones and tablets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: That's correct, and as Facebook said in a recent filing late last week the move to mobile is happening much more rapidly and has caught Facebook off-guard. At this time Facebook doesn't have any strong ability to monetize mobile users the same way they do on the website. And so this rapid shift has continued in the 2nd quarter and they don’t see it abating anytime soon, if ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CY MUSIKER\u003c/strong>: You also raised a red flag in that much of the growth in Facebook users is coming from developing nations…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong> That's a two-sided coin. On the one hand it represents an opportunity, of course. They're moving into developing markets early, countries like Cambodia, Nigeria, Vietnam. The downside is that those are cost centers for Facebook. Those users still upload photos and videos costing Facebook money to host them -- in fact we saw in the first quarter that Facebook's data server and hosting costs almost doubled from the prior quarter despite revenue growing just under 50%. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So costs for Facebook are growing much faster than revenues, and one of the main reasons is that so many of the new users are coming from developing countries, and advertisers just don't pay to target those people at this point, or will any time soon really.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CY MUSIKER\u003c/strong>: A poll this week found Facebook users are reluctant to make purchases by clicking on Facebook ads, and GM announced yesterday that it plans to stop spending 10 million dollars on Facebook ads. Is that significant?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: I can't think of a worse time for GM to make that announcement. To have right before the IPO one of the three biggest advertisers in America come out and say it's cancelling it's entire $10 million advertising spend is embarrassing to Facebook and of course it's concerning. A lot of advertisers look to those big advertisers like GM as sort of leadership to guide them where to spend their money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CY MUSIKER\u003c/strong>: But \u003ca href=\"http://www.clickz.com/clickz/news/2174988/unlike-gm-ford-bullish-facebook-ads\">Ford mocked GM's decision\u003c/a>, and a lot of advertisers are entranced with the way Facebook lets them target their ads so effectively, because users voluntarily reveal so much about themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: I would say it's a mixed bag. There's no question a lot of advertisers feel like they have to be doing something on Facebook at a minimum, a little bit of spend just for learning. But the problem is that for the most part Facebook has been unable to show a direct translation from ads viewed to actual purchases. At some point they have to come up with more data and metrics the same way Google does and Nielsen does for TV advertising.

Why is that an issue?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">Reasons to sit out the IPO\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>FB doesn't have good way to monetize mobile users yet, and more than half of users access the site that way.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>FB costs are growing much faster than revenues.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Much of FB's growth in users coming from developing nations, which advertisers don't pay to target.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>FB has been unable to show advertisers a direct translation from ads-viewed to purchases.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Increase in insider selling may be worrisome.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Most recent tech IPOs have tanked.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Current FB valuation should be $25 per share.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PRIVCO'S SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: It's an issue because what we saw in the 1st quarter is that Facebook had its slowest revenue growth rate in its history, and in fact it showed one of the only quarter-to-quarter revenue declines in advertising in Facebook history. Facebook's ad revenue fell from the 4th quarter of 2011 to the 1st quarter of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one of the key reasons is that more and more users are accessing Facebook on mobile devices. Just based on space limitations, mobile devices can't show those seven ads per page that Facebook has been used to. It's a real issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CY MUSIKER\u003c/strong>: And more than one-half of users logon via smartphones and tablets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: That's correct, and as Facebook said in a recent filing late last week the move to mobile is happening much more rapidly and has caught Facebook off-guard. At this time Facebook doesn't have any strong ability to monetize mobile users the same way they do on the website. And so this rapid shift has continued in the 2nd quarter and they don’t see it abating anytime soon, if ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CY MUSIKER\u003c/strong>: You also raised a red flag in that much of the growth in Facebook users is coming from developing nations…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong> That's a two-sided coin. On the one hand it represents an opportunity, of course. They're moving into developing markets early, countries like Cambodia, Nigeria, Vietnam. The downside is that those are cost centers for Facebook. Those users still upload photos and videos costing Facebook money to host them -- in fact we saw in the first quarter that Facebook's data server and hosting costs almost doubled from the prior quarter despite revenue growing just under 50%. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So costs for Facebook are growing much faster than revenues, and one of the main reasons is that so many of the new users are coming from developing countries, and advertisers just don't pay to target those people at this point, or will any time soon really.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CY MUSIKER\u003c/strong>: A poll this week found Facebook users are reluctant to make purchases by clicking on Facebook ads, and GM announced yesterday that it plans to stop spending 10 million dollars on Facebook ads. Is that significant?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: I can't think of a worse time for GM to make that announcement. To have right before the IPO one of the three biggest advertisers in America come out and say it's cancelling it's entire $10 million advertising spend is embarrassing to Facebook and of course it's concerning. A lot of advertisers look to those big advertisers like GM as sort of leadership to guide them where to spend their money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CY MUSIKER\u003c/strong>: But \u003ca href=\"http://www.clickz.com/clickz/news/2174988/unlike-gm-ford-bullish-facebook-ads\">Ford mocked GM's decision\u003c/a>, and a lot of advertisers are entranced with the way Facebook lets them target their ads so effectively, because users voluntarily reveal so much about themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAM HAMADEH\u003c/strong>: I would say it's a mixed bag. There's no question a lot of advertisers feel like they have to be doing something on Facebook at a minimum, a little bit of spend just for learning. But the problem is that for the most part Facebook has been unable to show a direct translation from ads viewed to actual purchases. At some point they have to come up with more data and metrics the same way Google does and Nielsen does for TV advertising.
