eMerge Interactive, Inc. Posts Record $38.6 Million Revenue for the First Quarter
Accelerated Revenue Propelled by 180 Percent Increase In Customer Base Over Fourth Quarter 1999
SEBASTIAN, Fla., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- eMerge Interactive, Inc. (Nasdaq: EMRG - news), a business-to-business value chain integrator serving the $40 billion U.S. beef production industry, reported record revenue for the period ended March 31, 2000.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2000 was $38.6 million, up 6,272 percent compared to $605,000 in the same period last year. The net loss for the first quarter of 2000 was $5.5 million, or a loss of $0.18 per share on 30.1 million pro forma average common shares outstanding. This compares to a net loss of $2.0 million, or a loss of $0.11 per share on 18.6 million pro forma average common shares outstanding in the first quarter of 1999. Pro forma average common shares gives effect to the conversion of all preferred shares into common shares at the beginning of the period.


Quarterly Highlights:

-- Cattle sales of $38.0 million, a 51 percent increase over last quarter
and 6,272 percent increase over the same period last year.
-- Over 125 customers bought cattle through eMerge in the first quarter, a
180 percent increase over last quarter`s customers.
-- Listed on the Chicago Board Options Exchange.
-- Licensed RightWorks(TS) business-to-business exchange software to
expand its e-marketplace (virtual storefront) set for initial roll out
by the third quarter 2000.


``We are extremely pleased with the continued acceptance of our products and services throughout the beef industry which is reflected by our record revenue growth and increased number of customers purchasing cattle through eMerge this quarter,`` said Charles Abraham, eMerge`s chief executive officer. ``Unlike traditional market makers that simply connect buyers and sellers, eMerge`s strategy adds previously unrealized value to the nation`s beef supply system by fundamentally altering the production process.``

To accommodate the company`s accelerated growth in the first quarter, both from greater market acceptance of products and services as well as through the acquisition of Jordan Livestock Inc. and Eastern, announced earlier today, eMerge moved aggressively in the quarter to add key industry personnel. The company expects that this investment will provide for rapid assimilation of Jordan and Eastern.

``Our goal is to create a new beef economy by positively affecting the manufacturing process through eMerge`s efficient e-marketplace, powerful information management infrastructure, and value-enhancing technologies,`` said Abraham. ``The Jordan and Eastern acquisitions represent major progress in our drive to reach this goal.``

Abraham continued, ``During the quarter, eMerge also made significant progress towards the completion of its e-marketplace, which is slated for completion by third quarter 2000, by signing a licensing agreement with Rightworks(TM), a leading provider of e-procurement software for powering business-to-business exchanges. This will allow us to enhance eMerge`s business-to-business e-commerce platform. Rightworks` software will boost the company`s transaction capabilities for online cattle sales, auctions and information as well as serve as the platform where many buyers and many suppliers can exchange products and services in a single marketplace throughout the beef industry. In addition, the company recently announced it was granted ISO 9001 certification by Bureau Veritas Quality International.``

In closing, Abraham stated, ``We worked hard this quarter to expand the breadth of our online marketplace and community to meet the demand of our customers and accommodate our rapid growth. Our partnership with RightWorks will enable us to not only facilitate the transaction of large numbers of cattle but will also allow for the exchange of critical cattle information throughout the beef production chain. This flow of information between suppliers, feedlots and producers lies at the core of eMerge`s value chain integration model that enhances profitability and improves overall beef safety and quality across the U.S.``

Hallo,
ist ein äußerst interesanter Wert. Sehr gute Position im Lebensmittelbereich als B2B Plattform. Nachdem EMRG auch fürchterlich zusammengestreten wurde, bin ich am Montag in den USA auch eingestiegen.
Gruß N1

[Illuminat]

An über die Plattform abgewickeltem Umsatz oder Provisionsumsatz?

[Sharewisdom]

gute frage, illuminat -
antwort dürfte jedoch klar sein- nämlich plattformumsatz:
siehe cost of revenues 38,293 mio dollares, der provisionserlös noch sehr mickrige 290000 dollar für die ein aufwand von 6,955 mio dollar benötigt wurde.
andernfalls (wenn die 39 mio provisionsumsatz wären )würde emrg aber natürlich auch niemals da stehen wo sie grad nun mal sind.
aber immerhin 25% in knapp zwei tagen - geht doch

[goodi]

hi,

mit einer marktkapitalisierung von erst

500 millionen ist emerge für mich ein

klarer kauf mit enormen chancen.

allerdings auch ein klar spekulatives invest.

m.e. überwiegen aber die chancen um ein vielfaches.

die aktie hat ja auch schon höchststände von

über 70$ gesehen.

auf grund der marktenge sollte man in den usa kaufen.

Der thread kann ruhig mal wieder hoch, denn die Aktie arbeitet sich auch langsam aber stetig wieder nach oben. Seit unserer Besprechung Ende April sind es bereits satte 100%.

Den letzten Anstieg verursachte folgende Meldung:

eMerge Interactive, Inc. Acquires Billings Livestock Commission Company And LeMaster Corp., Two Cattle Industry Leaders

Acquisition of Livestock Marketer and Order Buyer Supports Rapid Scaling Of eMerge`s Value Chain Integration Strategy for Nation`s Beef Industry

SEBASTIAN, Fla., July 17 /CNW/ --

eMerge Interactive, Inc. (Nasdaq: EMRG - news), a business-to-business Value Chain Integrator serving the $40-billion U.S. beef-production industry, has agreed to acquire two more organizations to strengthen its position as the nation`s largest virtual cattle marketplace:



Billings Livestock Commission Company, located in Billings, Montana, is the oldest continuously operated livestock marketer in the state, and a video-auctioning pioneer who last year, marketed more than 25 percent of the over 140,000 head of cattle it sold through its Mountain Plains Video Contract Auction subsidiary.

LeMaster Corp., located in Gaffney, South Carolina, is one of the Carolinas` largest order-buying organizations with annual sales of
approximately 150,000 head of cattle, and is a trailblazer in cattle-friendly facility design.


The transactions, which consisted of approximately $8 million in stock and cash, complement eMerge Interactive`s growth strategy, according to chief executive officer Chuck Abraham. The transactions are expected to be completed by mid-August.
"As a Value Chain Integrator, our goal is to eliminate inefficiencies and add previously unrealized value throughout the U.S. beef supply chain," Abraham said. "Towards that end, we`re amassing the tools, technologies and people needed to turn our objectives into reality."

"The heart of eMerge`s approach is the CattleinfoNet(TM) business network," Abraham said. "This Internet-enabled network relies on an efficient e-marketplace, a powerful information-management infrastructure and value-enhancing technologies, as well as on a bricks-and-mortar network of participating CattleinfoNet Interactive Facilities, previously referred to as "e-market hubs," to market cattle nationwide."

Abraham stated that Billings Livestock Commission Company and LeMaster Corp. will extend the reach of eMerge`s Interactive Facilities to ranchers in the southeastern and Rocky Mountain regions, further strengthening eMerge`s Interactive Facility network throughout the U.S. These acquisitions will join such showcase operations as Jordan Cattle Auction in Texas and Ed Edens Farms in Mississippi, acquisitions that were completed earlier this year, which expanded eMerge`s geographic presence in the southwestern and eastern U.S.

eMerge management selected Billings and LeMaster not only for their strategic locations, according to Abraham, but also because of their solid reputations and demonstrated commitment to leveraging leading-edge technologies on their customers` behalf. Billings Livestock, for example, was a pioneer in video-based auctioning of cattle, Abraham added.

"Our proprietary video-auction service, Mountain Plains Video Contract Auction, has already had a very positive impact on obtaining favorable pricing for our cattle in the northern part of the U.S.," said Jack McGuinness, Billings Livestock`s principal and a past president of the Montana Association of Livestock Markets. "By coupling our proprietary video technology with eMerge`s resources and CattleinfoNet business network, we`ll be able to offer ranchers nationwide exposure and the potential for increased profitability, while simultaneously increasing the number of cattle marketed through our facility. Furthermore, these combined efforts will assist in taking our business and this industry to the next level."

Co-owned by brothers David and Chuck LeMaster, LeMaster Corp. has taken a different approach to improving the financial health of the beef industry by developing a unique cattle-friendly facility to keep cattle clean, dry and healthy while minimizing quality-robbing stress. This approach dovetails perfectly with CattleinfoNet`s health certification programs, Chuck LeMaster said, adding that he and his brother are very optimistic about their partnership with eMerge.

"The new technologies that eMerge is developing for this industry should be of great help to our local producers," continued LeMaster. "By electronically tracking cattle through the production process and facilitating the flow of performance data from packers to producers, eMerge intends to help our producers enhance the genetics of future herds and, in the long run, improve profitability industry wide."

The two companies offer eMerge a combination of industry expertise and local roots that cannot be replicated, Abraham said. "Together, we expect to help local ranchers improve beef quality, consistency, yields and profitability and help to enhance the entire industry`s margins through process-verified certification and branding strategies."

Tja goodi, das ist Pech, aber so schlecht dürftest Du da auch nicht raus sein. Ich habe jetzt mit EMRG 150% in 2 Monaten gemacht und denke zumindestens den Einsatz erstmal rauszunehmen.
Schau Dir mal NEOF Neoforma an. Machen dasselbe im Medizintechnik Bereich. Für mich klingt das sogar interessanter als EMRG. Im Gegensatz dazu hat sich NEOF noch überhaupt nicht wieder erholt. Ich werde wohl meinen EMRG Einsatz dorthin umschichten.

eMerge`s Growth Accelerates With $160.4 Million Second Quarter Revenue
Margin Per Head Of Cattle Increases 48 Percent Over First Quarter 2000
SEBASTIAN, Fla., July 26 /CNW/ -- eMerge Interactive, Inc. (Nasdaq: EMRG - news), a business-to-business Value Chain Integrator serving the $40 billion U.S. beef production industry, reported record revenue for the period ended June 30, 2000.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2000 was $160.4 million, compared to $2.0 million in the same period last year. The net loss for the second quarter of 2000 was $7.9 million, or a net loss of $0.23 per share, on 33.9 million common shares outstanding. This compares to a net loss of $4.0 million, or a net loss of $0.58 per share, on 6.9 million common shares outstanding in the second quarter of 1999. Net of amortization and non-cash severance charges, the second quarter loss was $5.0 million, or a loss of $0.14 per share, down from a loss $5.2 million in the prior quarter.

Revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was $199.0 million, compared to $2.6 million in the same period last year. The net loss through the first six months of 2000 was $13.4 million, or a net loss of $0.47 per share, on 28.6 million common shares outstanding.

Net of amortization and non-cash severance charges, the year-to-date loss was $10.2 million, or $0.36 per share.

Compared to the prior three-month period revenue increased by 316 percent from the $38.6 million reported in the first quarter of 2000. The growth in revenue in the second quarter is largely attributable to an increase in the number of cattle marketed by the company, which rose from 65,700 head in the first quarter to 342,500 head in the second quarter as a result of acquisitions and internal growth. On a per head basis, second quarter margins increased by 48 percent to $4.49 from $3.03 in the first quarter of 2000.
