Tracking of Listed B2B Media Companies in Asia (Update - Dec 2011)
Executive summary
This is the tenth edition of this BSG report which is published semi-annually. The report tracks the financial performance of the top Asian B2B media companies that are publicly-listed or publish reliable financial figures. In the tables that comprise this report, BSG has published all available and relevant information. BSG will continue to update the profiles as more financial data is published.
The companies in this report operate on three different financial calendars ending on 31st March, 31st October or 31st December. As a result, the revenues and gross profits of some companies are not as up-to-date as others. Consequently, the rankings can change significantly as a number of these companies are growing quickly.
In terms of revenues, Baidu and Alibaba.com stand above all others. Baidu holds the top ranking with revenues of US$1.2 billion. Alibaba.com in second place recorded revenues of US$843 million. Hong Kong-listed Pico Far East generated revenues of US$397 million. (It is worth noting: if the business of Pico Thailand was included, then as a group, Pico’s total revenues were US$441 million.)
Fourth place is held by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council with revenues of US$224 million and close behind NASDAQ-listed, also Hong Kong-based, Global Sources ranks fifth with total revenues of US$194 million.
