Yelp?s Post-IPO Earnings: $27.4M in Revenue, Up 66% From A Year Earlier, But Net Loss Triples

yelp logoIn its first ever earnings report as a publicly-traded company, Yelp said it earned $27.4 million in revenue, up 66 percent from the $16.5 million it made in the same time a year ago. However, the company more than tripled its net losses, mostly on rising costs associated with supporting a larger sales staff. It lost $9.8 million, up from the $2.7 million it lost in the same time a year earlier. That loss of 31 cents per share was about double what analysts had estimated. Analysts had predicted a loss of 15 cents per share, according to a Bloomberg survey. Looking at the sheet, Yelp's loss expanded mostly on sales, marketing and administrative costs. Sales and marketing costs rose to $18.8 million, up from $11.3 million the year before. On the earnings call, the company said much of this headcount growth came from international expansion, which it has yet to fully monetize. In the first quarter, Yelp launched in 11 new markets, eight of which were international.

Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik: Still Doing the Long-Distance Relationship Thing


Los Angeles or San Francisco.

That's the debate between The Bachelor's Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson, who like to say they're "engaged-dating," regarding where they'll live in the future.

"It goes back and forth, back and forth," he said Saturday in Vegas, where the duo, who got engaged on the March season finale, hosted a party at PURE.

Ben, Courtney

Flajnik lives in San Francisco and Napa but "loves" the Santa Monica area of Los Angeles. Courtney Robertson lives in Santa Monica and "loves" San Francisco.

Something's gotta give eventually, right?

"We most definitely talk about it," the reality star tells People. "We're trying to figure it out, see how it's going to work and when it's going to happen."

"One thing we do really well is communicate. If something's bothering me or bothering her, we try to squash the bug really quick and move on."

Though the couple got engaged on the season finale of The Bachelor, the broke up once between that taping and the After the Final Rose special.

Despite that setback and widespread public distaste for Courtney's antics all season long, the two have already beaten the odds by going strong.

It's been a whole couple of months. By Bachelor standards? Not bad.

On Saturday, the duo seemed every bit the doting couple, snuggling in their VIP booth, chatting with their friends and fans and taking pictures.

"We're still in the early stages so we're learning a lot about each other, spending as much time with each other," he said. "We're slowing acclimating our lives together and our friends together. It's just going really well."

Despite the fact Flajnik and Robertson don't live together, or even in the same city, the relationship has been "easy," he says. "It's not exactly long, long distance. We live in the same state. It's an hour flight."

Think they'll last?
