eBay, Neutral, ($13.96)
We are maintaining our Neutral rating on eBay. We believe weakness in usage and
conversion, as well as a more competitive broader eCommerce market, present
challenges that will make it difficult for eBay stock to outperform in the coming
months. Our 12-month price target is $17.
• Marketplaces usage metrics point the wrong way. ComScore data indicates
that the number of US users coming to eBay’s sites declined 17% Y/Y in the
three months ended 10/08. We believe the decreased usage and difficulties in
optimizing the search algorithm have resulted in significant weakening of
conversion for eBay listings. These factors are offsetting the gains from
revitalized listings growth on the platform.
• Are online auctions a mature market? Auctions traffic has been anemic, as we
believe a more mature eCommerce market is increasingly driving buyers to
expect a top-flight user experience and an ability to order items, especially new
items, immediately. We think this shift presents a challenge to eBay: auctions are
a near-monopoly for the company, whereas consumers seeking immediate
purchases have a wealth of options, of which eBay is only one.
• PayPal unit remains a prize asset. Payments revenue was up 32% Y/Y through
9M’08, and we are projecting 22% growth in F’09 as the off-eBay side of PayPal
remains a key growth contributor; additionally, we expect a slight benefit as the
impact of the Bill Me Later acquisition is folded in.
• 2009 drivers. In our view, the following factors will drive shares in 2009: (1)
changes in Marketplaces conversion driven by better search, (2) corporate
structure changes such as a sale of Skype, and (3) the impact of any credit market
developments on the receivables book at Bill Me Later.
• Maintaining 4Q’08, F’09 estimates. We are maintaining our 4Q’08 and F’09
revenue, EBITDA and EPS estimates; we are introducing new F’10 estimates; all
these are summarized in the table below:

Our Estimates and Outlook for 2009
We believe the company’s focus on the buyer is well-placed, and several of the
measures taken by management, including the DSR system, are a step toward
improving the buyer experience on the site. At the same time, we believe F’09 will
present continued challenges in (1) improving the appearance of items on the sites
and (2) fine-tuning the search and finding functions to better put the right items in
front of users.
We think eBay is likely to continue making some modifications to its fee structure in
order to spur the necessary changes and in order to help keep sellers afloat in a tough
environment. We think these operational concerns, as well as macro challenges and
an FX headwind, will drive flat Y/Y GMV growth and a 3% increase in
Marketplaces Transactional revenue. We think the PayPal business remains healthy,
and project 22% revenue growth in F’09, down from 30% in F’08. We anticipate a
significant slowdown in the growth of eBay’s Advertising and Non-Transactional
revenue, to 12% in F’09, from 28% in F’08.

We are maintaining our F’09 revenue estimate of $9.57B, our F’09 EBITDA
estimate of $3.20B and our F’09 EPS estimate of $1.75. We are projecting a ~240
bps compression in eBay’s gross margin due to the continued shift in business mix
toward lower-margin revenue (such as PayPal). We think the company can drive
operational efficiencies across its businesses and thus think the operating margin will
contract by only ~160 bps Y/Y.
Our Estimates and Outlook for 2010
In F’10, we think the company is likely to see growth rates rebound somewhat as the
economy begins to recover and as the FX headwind is anniversaried in. We are
projecting 10% GMV growth and a 9% rise in Marketplaces Transaction revenue, as
well as continued growth at PayPal, with Transaction revenue up 17%. Further, we
expect a rebound to 15% Y/Y growth across eBay’s streams of Advertising and Non-
Transactional revenue.
Our newly introduced forecast calls for F’10 revenue of $10.77B, EBITDA of
$3.47B and pro forma EPS of $1.99. We believe business mix will continue to
hamper gross margins, down ~80 bps Y/Y in F’10 to 71.8%. At the same time, we
expect eBay will continue to successfully manage costs in order to minimize the
operating margin impact; for F’10 we are forecasting a ~20 bps Y/Y decline on the
operating margin side to 29.4%.
We Are Introducing a Price Target of $17
In introducing price targets for our coverage, we have derived multiples based on 5-
year forward EBIT CAGRs. We believe the historical record does not provide a
meaningful guide to valuation as (a) the majority of the companies in our coverage
did not have a track record as public companies through the previous recession and
(b) even the public companies were still in their early-growth (and, for some, rapid
growth) stage during the last economic downturn.
As such, given our projection for eBay of a ~9% F’09 - F’14 EBIT CAGR, and our
view of the beginning of a possible economic turnaround in 2H’09, we believe the
stock can achieve a 9x EV/EBIT multiple to our F’09 EBIT estimate (reflecting
better forward visibility than the current valuation of 7x our F’09 estimate) and thus
arrive at our December 2009 price target of $17.
The parameters of our EV/EBIT multiple analysis are in the table below:
Table 105: Key Valuation Assumptions

1x EBIT Growth 9
2009 EBIT $ 2,172

Valuation and Rating Analysis
On a GAAP P/E basis, eBay trades 10.1x our F’09 estimate of $1.39 (which implies
3% Y/Y EPS growth). Due to the challenges we have enumerated above, we believe
the stock is unlikely to significantly outperform its peer group in the coming months,
and thus we rate it Neutral.
Risks to Our Rating
Downside risks associated with our Neutral rating include: barriers to international
expansion, risks related to the repositioning of eBay’s pricing structure, competition
from sponsored search vendors, the company’s dependence on eBay Motors,
competition from hardline retailers, risks associated with patent litigation, and
valuation risks.
International expansion is a concrete part of eBay’s growth strategy. As the company
continues to grow outside the U.S., it may face regulatory challenges and/or markets
that make its business less profitable than it is in the U.S. or other countries where it
is already established. Thus far, we believe eBay’s international expansion has been
carried out in a strategic and timely manner.
eBay also faces risks from hardline retailers. Although the bulk of eBay’s revenues
come from the beginning and end of the retail life cycle, with each passing quarter,
the percentage of revenue it earns from the in-season retail and fixed price sales
continues to increase. This puts the company in competition with traditional retailers
and other e-tailers, including Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, BestBuy, and Home Depot.
Failure to meet these challenges could lead to relative stock price underperformance.
There may be upside risks to our rating should the company be able to improve its
search technology more rapidly than we expect, resulting in an acceleration of trade
on the platform. Additionally, if the company takes steps that help the market value
the separate parts of the enterprise more fully, the stock could outperform.
