Objective Get Big Fast

• Based on Thomas R. Eisemann’s (Harvard Business School) book “Internet Business Models: Text and Cases.”

• “Winner-take-all” dynamics apply when• Network effects (i.e., “viral”)• Scale economies (i.e., “scalable”)• Customer retention (i.e., “sticky”)

Strategic Fit

• Network effects– Recommender system– Friend referrals

• Scale economies – Amortization of content library costs

• Customer retention– Subscription revenue model– Structural reliance – Switching costs high

• Competitive risks are “reasonable” – Competitors have smaller market shares

• Lifetime value of customer exceeds acquisition cost– CAC is $ 18 (two months subscription)– Based on 3 year retention CLV is ~ $300 to $350– CAC/CLV = 5-6%

• You can fund aggressive growth– Current assets exceed current liabilities by $260 million– Dept/equity ratio is 0.6 (S&P is 1.0)– Market Capitalization of $6 billion is 20 times out assets base (~$300 million)

Strategy Selection with Year 1 Costs

• Increase advertising budgets by 15 percent.– 15% of $293M = $44M

• Expand by 15 percent into Latin America, Mexico, and China.– 15% of $2,162M = $324 New revenues * 92.5% (exp. ratio) = $300M

of added expenses + $500M marketing and development costs• Increase R&D by 25% for marketing and delivery of online

streaming movies (S6, S8, T6, T8).– 25% of 293M = $73.25M

• Total cost for all three– Approx. $1,000 Million

Technology Issues

• Reliance on a Public Internet – Network Neutrality

• NetFlix is 20-30% of ALL Internet traffic– Consumer Broadband Service– Distributed Distribution

• Intellectual Property Protection– International regulatory bodies
