Expecting Strong Advertising Traction to
Build Toward Year-End and Into 2014;
Reiterate Overweight, Price Target to $53
We are incrementally positive on Facebook shares as we believe advertising traction
across both Mobile and Desktop continues to build into year-end and 2014. 2Q13
marked an inflection point in advertiser demand and ad quality for Facebook, which
enabled the company to increase inventory while simultaneously realizing higher
pricing. We believe that momentum in the ad platform continues as marketer
feedback around Mobile, News Feed, and FBX continues to improve along with
ROI. We do not believe ongoing strength is attributable to one single driver, but
rather the combined impact of stronger sales efforts, improved advertiser education,
better tracking and measurement, and simplified ad formats.
During 3Q we believe Facebook has expanded its advertiser base, with a notable
pick-up in Entertainment industry ads across TV shows, movies, and console
game launches. These ads often feature click-to-play video—which bodes well for
Facebook's likely more formal launch of News Feed video ads in coming months—
and they likely command premium pricing based on guaranteed timing and the more
advanced format.
The Facebook Exchange (FBX) was a small contributor in 2Q, but we believe it
will become an increasingly important part of Facebook's ad platform as re-
targeted ads move further into the Desktop and Mobile News Feeds. Our
anecdotal checks suggest that FBX ads have increased notably in the Desktop Right
Rail—often representing the majority of ads shown—and marketer feedback after a
few months of FBX in the Desktop News Feed is positive. Triggit data across 90
campaigns and 4.9B impressions suggests increased FBX ads in the Desktop News
Feed and increased adoption ofdynamic ads are driving a 27x increase in click-
through rates (CTR) and a 50% decrease in eCPC (implying a 13-14x increase in
CPMs) since the end of 2012. Desktop News Feed FBX ads began in May of this
year and they are becoming more prevalent, but we would also expect them to extend
into the Mobile News Feed in coming months, thereby increasing the relevance and
quality ofmobile ads. Advertiser targeting should also improve going forward as
Custom Audiences becomes easier to use.
We are raising our Mobile and Desktop News Feed estimates going fonvard,
and we project Mobile will surpass 50% of Facebook's ad revenue in 4Q13 and
represent 60% of ad revenue in 2014. Mobile estimates in our bottom-up model
increase to $2.96B in 2013 and $5.95B in 2014, up from $2.83B and $5.09B
previously, increases of 3% and 12%. We remain positive on Facebook shares as
user engagement remains strong with mobile more than offsetting desktop declines,
and Facebook still early in its overall advertising trajectory. We reiterate our
Overweight rating and are raising our price target from $44 to $53 based on the
average of our DCF analysis ($56), 17x 2015E EBITDA ($56), and 33x 2015 non-
GAAP EPS ($47).

Adjusting Estimates
Overall: We am raising our overall Facebook revenue, EBITDA, and EPS estimates
as we are increasingly optimistic on Facebook's ability to monetize the News Feed,
particularly in Mobile. Overall, our 2013 and 2014 estimates for revenue increase
by 2-3% and EBITDA increases by 12%. See Figure I below for more details.

Simplified Ad Formats and Broader Advertiser Base
We think Facebook's efforts to simplify its ad formats have removed friction for
marketers and helped create more News Feed-eligible ads, thereby spurring the
advertising auction process. Beyond moving from 27 to 13 ad formats, the
company recently announced it was standardizing image sizes for ads, making
them consistent across all types of formats, across Desktop and Mobile.
Faccbook has also increased the image sizes for its Page Post link ads on desktop
which we think should drive higher click-through rates and engagement.
We believe Facebook's advertiser base continues to widen and think advertisers in
the Entertainment category have increased their Facebook ad spend in 3Q, likely due
to the heavy summer movie season as well as advertisements around the fall TV
lineup. Examples of entertainment advertisers in 3Q include ads for the movies
Getanay and Lone Ranger, TV shows The Million Second Quiz and Masters ofSer,
as well as Take Two's upcoming release of the console game Grand Theft Auto V.

We also expect Facebook's 4Q revenue growth to be bolstered by the retail vertical
as we believe large retailers likely made significant strides in terms of measuring the
ROI of their Facebook ad spend over the last year.
Expect FBX To Drive Continued Yield Improvements On
Desktop... Mobile Next?
While Facebook has indicated that FBX represents a relatively small percentage of
its ad revenue, we expect FBX to drive meaningful yield improvements — particularly
on Desktop Right Rail — over time. We believe FBX remains relatively
underpenetrated even among direct response advertisers and we expect additional
advertiser adoption to drive yield increases as FBX ads offer higher ROI than many
other direct response channels. According to Triggit, a Facebook Preferred
Marketing Developer (PMD), FBX ads are currently adopted by just 9% of the
Internet Retailer Top 500 sites and less than 7% of the top 10k Alexa sites. We
note that Facebook currently requires PMDs (Preferred Marketing Developers) to
individually approve clients for FBX ads and we expect further streamlining of its
ad-buying process.
Triggit data across 90 campaigns and 4.9B impressions suggests increased FBX ads
in the Desktop News Feed and increased adoption of dynamic ads are driving a 27x
increase in CTRs and a 50% decrease in eCPC (implying a 13-14x increase in
CPMs) since the end of 2012. Note that FBX ads in the Desktop News Feed went
live in early May 2013, after an initial test phase. We believe Facebook's Desktop
Right Rail ads have CPMs of -$0.40 in the U.S though our checks suggest that
industry CPMs for re-targeting are closer to -42.00, a significant gap that we believe
FBX can help tighten over time as more advertisers shift to FBX and FBX ads
increasingly appear in the News Feed going forward.
Based on ow anecdotal checks, we believe FBX ads now represent the majority of
Desktop Right Rail ads, up significantly over the last few quarters. We also believe
FBX ads are becoming more prevalent in the Desktop News Feed with sites like
Booking.com and other OTAs increasing their ad exposure in the Desktop News
Feed. We believe Facebook is also working on adding Mobile News Feed ads into its
exchange.
Video Ads A Potential Upside Driver in 2014
We believe video ads can be a significant driver of growth for Facebook over time.
According to eMarketer, digital video ad spend will reach $4.1B in 2013, up 41%
Y/Y, and it will continue be one of the fastest growing segments of online
advertising. While video ads already exist in both the desktop and mobile News
Feeds, they are primarily click-to-play Page Post ads. Industry publications such as
AdAge have suggested that Facebook is working with advertisers to launch auto-play
video ads in the Desktop and Mobile News Feed for up to $1M-S2.4M per day.
Advertiser demand for Facebook video ads appears to be strong, though the launch of
auto-play video ads has seemingly been repeatedly delayed as Facebook ensures it
has the necessary technology backbone in place to support higher-bandwidth video
ads while maintaining the user experience on the site. We think it is critical that
Facebook maintains the user experience, and recent delays do not change our
view that video ads will drive increased demand and higher pricing.

Revisiting Our Bottom-Up Advertising Build
In this section, we walk through revised estimates in our bottom-up advertising
build which is based on three segments: I) Mobile News Feed; 2) Desktop News
Feed; and 3) Desktop Right Rail. While overall ad revenue remains key, we
believe the bottom-up build is useful for capturing the ongoing mix-shift from web to
mobile that generally results in fewer impressions, but higher overall eCPMs.

As shown in Figure 3 below, we expect Facebook to continue to benefit from overall
user (MAUs) and engagement (visits/user/day) growth as mobile drives users and
frequency of visits. Impressions per visit and overall impression volume is likely to
come down, but we expect higher eCPMs on mobile and improving yield on
desktop to more than offset the negative impacts of declining overall
impressions in 2014 and 2015. We think further upside to our estimates could come
from: 1) increases in mobile and ad load in overseas markets; 2) if the Facebook
Exchange and other new targeting tools drive a rebound in Desktop Right Rail CPMs
and stabilize Desktop revenue; and 3) video ads.

Facebook posted strongly accelerating ad revenue growth in 2Q 13, driven primarily
by mobile ads. While increasing Facebook's overall share of ad budgets across both
desktop and mobile is critical, we expect mobile to remain the primary focus.
Facebook also sometimes has discretion around directing certain campaigns
across formats, and we believe the highest quality ads and especially those that
point to strong mobile sites will be pushed toward the Mobile News Feed.
Mobile benefiting from several growth drivers
As shown in Figure 4 below, we expect Mobile to surpass Desktop ad revenue in
4Q13. We remain optimistic on Mobile ad formats including Sponsored Stories,
Promoted Posts, App-Install Ads, and others as Mobile ads have higher CFRs and
significantly higher eCPMs relative to Desktop.

As shown in Figure 5 below, we expect mobile to continue witnessing very strong
growth driven by increases in users, visit frequency, and ad load (impressions per
user visit). We believe newer ad formats have been adopted more quickly by
U.S. advertisers but international mobile ad load should increase over time. The
mix-shift toward international markets such as Asia and Rest Of World could drive
lower overall mobile eCPMs, but also greater impression volume.

Desktop yields should improve over time
We expect Facebook's desktop ad revenue to continue facing headwinds as users
shift their usage towards mobile. While desktop users are likely to continue growing,
we think a greater proportion of each user's Facebook usage is likely to shift toward
mobile, resulting in declining desktop engagement metrics such as visits/user or
minutes/user.
We expect Facebook's desktop impressions to decline beginning in 2014 as
increasing adoption of Desktop News Feed ads is more than offset by declining
usage of Facebook on the desktop. However, we are more optimistic on
improvements in desktop yield or eCPM as: 1) Facebook improves targeting
capability; 2) third-party data through FBX and Custom Audiences pushes Facebook
further down the purchase funnel, driving higher ROI and ad spend
