ANOTHER TECH BUBBLE? NOT Q UITE
GO OGL E A CQ UI R E S AD M OB N ET W OR K
Google announced the acquisition of AdMob, the mobile ad platform that serves online ads for a network of 15,000
mobile W eb sites. AdMob’s platform has made considerable in-roads into the iPhone ecosystem, and fits nicely with
the burgeoning Google Android platform. Google bid $750 million for the company, which generates a revenue run
rate of approximately $100 million currently, implying a Price/Sales valuation on the deal of 7.5x. Before we begin
proclaiming the onset of a new tech bubble, we note that Google and Microsoft both acquired companies in the same
digital marketing space in 2007 for double digit P/S multiples (see Digital Marketing M&A Valuations).

The long-anticipated acquisition of Playfish by Electronic Arts has come to fruition in a deal involving consideration of
$275 million upfront in cash, $25 million in retention payments via shares, and $100 million in earn-out – a total
consideration of $400 million potentially. The Price/Sales valuation on this transaction (based on estimates of $75
million in Playfish revenue run rate) ranges between 4.0x and 5.3x (depending on the value when EA closes the deal).
Playfish operates social games on Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, and other social networks which have been installed
more than 150 million times, and claims 60 million monthly active users. Its top games include Pet Society,
Restaurant City, Country Story, and Who Has The Biggest Brain?
