MarketingVOX: ValueClick reported record fourth-quarter revenues of $160.4 million, up 38 percent from $116.6 million in the year-ago period; net income was $22.1 million, or 22 cents a share, up from $14.2 million, or 14 cents a share a year ago, report InternetRetailer and MediaPost.
For the year, ValueClick reported revenue of $545.6 million, an increase of $241 million, or 79 percent, from revenue of $304 million in 2005. Net income was $63.1 million, or 62 cents a share, up from $40.6 million, or 45 cents a share, in 2005.
The company said those better-than-anticipated results were in part because of the successful integration of E-Babylon, Webclients and Fastclick, all of which it acquired in 2005. ValueClick also owns Commission Junction, ValueClick Media, Mediaplex and PriceRunner.
For 2007, ValueClick said it is expecting revenue of $645-$665 million and earnings per share of 78- 80 cents; it said it expects $148-$149 million in Q1 revenue and earnings per share of 17 cents.
“The leadership positions we have built in performance-based marketing solutions and value-added online networks give us confidence to anticipate continued strong growth of healthy margins in 2007,” James Zarley, ValueClick chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
