MeetMe Resumes Management of its Mobile and Web Ad Inventory

06/03/2015

Terminates Advertising Agreements with Beanstock Media

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social
discovery, today announced that it has terminated its agreements with
Beanstock Media, Inc. pursuant to which Beanstock managed the majority
of MeetMe’s web and mobile ad inventory. Effective yesterday, MeetMe has
resumed managing its advertising inventory in-house.

Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Officer of MeetMe, said:

“In the past two years, we have outsourced our ad management to
Beanstock and another partner to reduce the impact of seasonal trends in
the advertising market. During that time, we maintained the capability
and staff to manage our inventory internally in case we decided to do so
again. We have resumed that management and are confident that we will
continue to monetize and capitalize on the growth in engagement we have
seen on our mobile platform.”

David Clark, Chief Financial Officer of MeetMe, added:

“We do not expect to incur any additional operating costs as a result of
this change and continue to expect to achieve our previously provided
revenue guidance for the full year 2015 of $47 to $53
million. Additionally, we expect to achieve adjusted EBITDA within our
previous guidance range of $8 to $11 million for the full year. However,
due to the transition back to our own internal management of our mobile
and web advertising inventory during the quarter, we are revising our
second quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance to reflect this
change. We now expect revenue for the second quarter to be in the range
of $9.0 to $9.5 million, with an adjusted EBITDA range of $250,000 to
$750,000. All guidance amounts are subject to change based on our
determination of the collectability of all amounts owed by Beanstock.
Beanstock represents approximately $5.8 million in accounts receivable,
of which approximately $2.25 million is overdue. None of these amounts
is in dispute.”
