Asia has accounted for about one-third of the world's economic growth in the 1990s, the Asian economies (both the advanced and developing economies) saw their share of the world's economic growth increase to almost 40% during the 2000-05 period and to almost 50% during the 2005-10 period, surpassing the share of the North American and European economies.

Forecasts from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), over the next five years, expects the Asian economies to account for about 50% of the world's growth, while the former leaders, North America and Europe, remain at about 25%.

The Asian boom will be led by China and India, with the IMF expecting China alone to account for almost 30% of the world's growth over the next five years. Therefore it is important to understand what Petrochina, Premier Oil etc are doing in the E and P Data markets.

Kontagent Execs and Data Scientists to Lead Roundtable Discussions at Inside Social Apps 2012 on Key Issues Facing Social, Mobile App Developers

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:15:00 +0000

Kontagent Execs and Data Scientists to Lead Roundtable Discussions at Inside Social Apps 2012 on Key Issues Facing Social, Mobile App Developers

PR Newswire

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kontagent, the leading global user analytics company, today announced that several members of its staff will lead five roundtable discussions at the Inside Social Apps 2012 conference in San Francisco. Held Feb. 8-9 at The Concourse at the San Francisco Design Center, the event brings together leaders of top social and mobile social gaming companies to analyze the toughest challenges facing the industry.

Inside Social Apps is especially geared toward developers that create apps for Facebook, iPhone, Android and emerging online social platforms. Jeff Tseng, Co-Founder and CEO of Kontagent, and other members of the team will take an investigative approach moderating discussions, addressing–among others–issues that social developers face when entering the mobile app space, how to decide whether to build or buy an analytics solution, and strategies for engaging and retaining players of social games.

Kontagent's data scientists and other team members moderating these sessions are steeped with practical experience and deep knowledge of social and mobile gaming trends. They will share their insights—gleaned as key members of Kontagent, one of the first companies to build analytics around user behavior—and encourage attendees to learn by sharing their own experiences in the space. Their diverse backgrounds bring unique perspectives to often difficult problems.

In addition to those listed, Kontagent will also lead sessions addressing the relative importance for developers of the key performance indicators of average revenue per paying user (ARPPU) as compared to average revenue per user (ARPU), and the increased competition social game marketers face on Facebook in the aftermath of FarmVille developer Zynga's recent initial public offering (IPO).

"More than with other apps, the secret to success in the social and mobile gaming market is the analysis of and proactive response to real-time information," Tseng said. "Competition is so fast and furious in this industry that small and large studios alike cannot afford to live in a bubble. Sharing anecdotes and war stories at these roundtables fosters success for all participants. These discussions will focus on high-level testing strategies and best practices, giving attendees key takeaways we've experienced first-hand."

A growing number of social game studios leverage Kontagent as their analytics provider of choice. Among others, these include Peak Games, Gaia Online, Popcap, Kixeye, Tetris Battle, Gazeus Games, Sismo Games, Social Quantum, Web Games, Playrix, Atommica and Atakama Labs. Kontagent's kSuite analytics solution solves the persistent problem social and mobile companies face today in processing and filtering through massive data sets to find the most actionable metrics and insights. Kontagent customers access kSuite's intuitive analytics dashboard and its deep domain expertise to gain insights into customer data.

Water-Wise Plant Information On the Go: Save Our Water Sponsors Sunset's Plant Finder; Launches New Mobile Site

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:27:00 +0000

Save Our Water (http://www.saveourh2o.org/) launched a new mobile-friendly version of its website today to coincide with sponsorship of Sunset Magazine's Plant Finder (http://plantfinder.sunset.com/sunset/plant-home.jsp) web-based tool. Sunset Magazine is also launching a mobile version of the Plant Finder, an online tool that allows gardeners to search the Sunset Western Garden Book's top 2,500 plants.

Save Our Water, a statewide water conservation program sponsored by the California Department of Water Resources and the Association of California Water Agencies, designed the new mobile site as a new way to help spread its "rain or shine, Californians need to save" message.

"We are delighted to be working with Sunset Magazine in our efforts to educate Californians about the need to save water," said Timothy Quinn, ACWA's executive director. "The Plant Finder is an excellent tool to help Californians pick water-wise plants that will thrive in their climate. In addition, our new mobile site gives people an easy way to get water conservation information on the go."

Save Our Water's research has shown that Californians believe that they use more water indoors than outdoors, when the opposite is true. As a result, outdoor water conservation has been a major focus for the program. Sunset's Plant Finder will help Californians choose the right plants for their climate. Users can:

Search plants by color, size, type, and growing needs.
Browse an A-Z plant list by common and botanical names.
Find your Climate Zone -- the key to knowing what plants thrive in your area.

Because experts say that more people will access the Internet via their mobile phone than on their computers, Save Our Water's mobile version of its consumer-friendly website will increase the reach of the program's message.

Sunset Magazine created the new mobile version of their Plant Finder to coincide with the launch of their newest edition of The Western Garden Book, the West's most trusted source of gardening information for more than 80 years. Save Our Water is the sponsor of the Plant Finder in 2012 and 2013.

For more ways to save and to learn more about the Save Our Water program, visit www.saveourh2o.org or follow us on Facebook or Twitter. Save Our Water is a partnership between the California Department of Water Resources (http://www.water.ca.gov/) and the Association of California Water Agencies (http://www.acwa.com/).

Sunset magazine (http://www.sunset.com/) is the premier guide to life in the West, covering the newest and best ideas in Western home design and landscaping, food and entertaining, and regional travel in 13 Western states. Sunset and sunset.com are part of the Lifestyle group of magazines and websites published by Time Inc., the largest magazine publisher in the U.S., and a leading publisher in the U.K. and Mexico.

Extraordinary Events to Manage New L3 at Santa Monica Place

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:59:00 +0000

Largest, Most Versatile Event Space to Fill Niche in Top Ten Beach City

Extraordinary Events, an award-winning, Los Angeles-based international meeting and event production company, is currently managing the new L3 event space at Santa Monica Place. L3 spans over 42,000-square-feet on the Dining Deck of the shopping center and is the largest and most versatile event space in Santa Monica.

With other local venues projected to be under construction in the coming years, L3 is the solution to attract meetings, events and conventions. While the city has been named as one of the top ten beach cities to visit by National Geographic and has earned accolades from Zagat for its cuisine and world-class hotels, the lack of a large venue has been a drawback. However, with the opening of L3 in the heart of downtown, Santa Monica has become a competitive gem for meetings, events and conventions.

A blank canvas, the space is customizable for any occasion from private events, product launches, location shoots, business meetings, press events, receptions, dinners or trade shows. L3 is moments from the beach and the iconic 3rd Street Promenade with ten visionary restaurants, luxury retail, easy and accessible parking and unrivaled views of the Pacific Ocean.

Extraordinary Events will manage, show, sell and consult on all aspects of the space.

Jefferson County Public Schools Approves eChalk as Hub for Learning and Communication

Jefferson County Public Schools Approves eChalk as Hub for Learning and Communication

Students, teachers and parents have access to suite of tools through eChalk's online platform

PR Newswire

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), serving more than 100,000 students in the greater Louisville market, announced that it has approved eChalk as a software partner for creating School and Teacher Websites. eChalk is the leading K-12 software platform used by schools to manage communication and instruction. The online platform will enable teachers, students and parents in JCPS schools to connect, communicate and collaborate anytime, anywhere, to support effective, personalized learning.

eChalk provides a flexible framework and easy-to-use tools to meet the emerging needs of teachers and students. Through eChalk, the JCPS schools can easily maintain school websites and class pages, help teachers apply safe social networking experiences to curriculum lessons, and provide parents with a window into their children's education. eChalk users also have mobile access to the platform through an app for Android® and iOS® devices.

Research indicates students with involved parents and communities are more likely to do well in school, attend class, and avoid risky behaviors. According to the National Partnership of Schools, parental involvement must be meaningfully integrated into a school's programs and community in order for it to flourish. Jana Hickey, eLearning Specialist at JCPS, believes this relationship is emblematic of the district's ongoing commitment to improving education through innovation.

"eChalk will provide us with a way to integrate communication and instruction into one platform and engage all of our stakeholders to support 21st century teaching and learning," Hickey said. "We're excited about the tremendous possibilities available to us through eChalk, including the increased opportunities for teachers, students, and parents to connect."

In many instances, schools have difficulty implementing new technology due to the complexity and extensive teacher training required. That is not an issue with eChalk, however, which has the highest activation rate of any similar product on the market – schools often experience 98 percent or better activation among teachers. Teachers will be able to activate their online classrooms in minutes and integrate the technology in ways that enhance student learning.

eChalk began working with selected JCPS schools in 2010 via a pilot program, and their early success established the foundation for growth district wide. Martin Brutosky, CEO of eChalk, said, "JCPS schools are a testament to all that's right with education today, from teachers who are fully committed to each and every student to leadership that works tirelessly in support of their teachers. We're honored to be working with them."

About eChalk

eChalk software is the preferred platform among K-12 schools to manage communication and instruction.

Fiscal year 2012 Outlook:

We are updating our previously issued outlook for our full fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 as follows:

	Previous Fiscal Year	Current Fiscal Year
	2012 Outlook	2012 Outlook
	----------------------------	----------------------------
Revenues	$804 million -- $810 million	$780 million -- $786 million
Net Income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc.	$108 million -- $112 million	$103 million -- $107 million
Adjusted EBITDA	$354 million -- $358 million	$339 million -- $343 million
Adjusted Net Income	$199 million -- $202 million	$190 million -- $193 million
Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share	$2.79 -- $2.83	$2.67 -- $2.71

The fiscal year 2012 outlook above assumes no acquisitions of businesses, no repurchases of our common stock, an assumed 28% tax rate to calculate Adjusted Net Income, and a strengthening of the U.S. dollar of up to 5% versus currently prevailing foreign currency exchange rates. During the period from August 24, 2011, when we disclosed our initial fiscal 2012 guidance, through February 6, 2012, the U.S. Dollar has strengthened significantly versus most major foreign currencies we have used to transact our business. For example, on August 24, 2011, one Euro was equal to approximately $1.44, and on February 6, 2012, one Euro was equal to approximately $1.31. This change from August 24, 2011 to February 6, 2012 represents a strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro of approximately 10%. We anticipate that currency exchange rates will have a negative impact on our revenues, but have a positive impact on our interest expense and our intangibles amortization expense for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

Exchange rates between most of the major foreign currencies we use to transact our business and the U.S. dollar have fluctuated significantly over the last few years and we expect that they will continue to fluctuate. The majority of our revenues and costs are denominated in Euros, Pound Sterling, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and other international currencies. The following table provides the average quarterly exchange rates for the Euro and Pound Sterling since the beginning of fiscal year 2011:

		Average Pound
	Average Euro-to-	Sterling-to-U.S.
	U.S. Dollar	Dollar Exchange
Period	Exchange Rate	Rate
--------------------------------------	-------------	----------

Quarter ended September 30, 2010	$1.29	$1.55
Quarter ended December 31, 2010	1.36	1.58
Quarter ended March 31, 2011	1.37	1.60
Quarter ended June 30, 2011	1.44	1.63
Quarter ended September 30, 2011	1.42	1.61
Quarter ended December 31, 2011	1.35	1.57

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010, the U.S. dollar strengthened against most major foreign currencies we use to transact our business. The average U.S. dollar strengthened versus the Euro by 0.8% and the Pound Sterling by 0.6%, which decreased our revenues and expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011. A hypothetical 5% increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we transact our business would have resulted in an increase or decrease, as the case may be, to our revenues of $6.9 million and $14.0 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

All percentage amounts and ratios were calculated using the underlying data in whole dollars. We measure constant currency, or the effects on our results that are attributable to FX Changes, by measuring the incremental difference between translating the prior period and the current results at the monthly average rates for the same period from the prior year.

Quarterly Dividend:

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per outstanding share of common stock and per outstanding restricted stock unit. The Audit Committee also approved a quarterly stock dividend equivalent of $0.10 per outstanding restricted stock unit granted to certain of our executive officers during fiscal years 2011 and 2012 in lieu of the cash dividend, which dividend equivalent will be paid to the restricted stock unit holders as the restricted stock unit vests. The dividends are paid on March 6, 2012 to stockholders and restricted stock unit holders of record at the close of business on February 21, 2012.

Earnings Conference Call:

We will host our second quarter ended December 31, 2011 earnings call today at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) – February 7, 2012. The conference call will be webcast live in listen-only mode and can be accessed by visiting the Investor Center section of the Solera website: www.solerainc.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use a number of non-GAAP financial measures that are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations, but are provided because management believes that they provide additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to facilitate the evaluation of our business on a comparable basis to other companies. The three primary non-GAAP financial measures that we use are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share are useful to investors in providing information regarding our operating results. We rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation and bonus plans. Adjusted EBITDA also allows us to compare our current operating results with corresponding prior periods as well as to the operating results of other companies in our industry. We present Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share because we believe both of these measures provide useful information regarding our operating results in addition to our GAAP measures. We believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share provide investors with valuable insight into our profitability exclusive of unusual adjustments, and provide further insight into the cash impact resulting from the different treatments of goodwill for financial reporting and tax purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net income per share and other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share should not be considered as a replacement for net income. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per diluted common share as supplemental information.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc., excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) restructuring charges, asset impairments, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, (vi) other (income) expense, net and (vii) acquisition and related costs. Acquisition and related costs include legal and professional fees and other transaction costs associated with completed and contemplated business combinations and asset acquisitions, costs associated with integrating acquired businesses, including costs incurred to eliminate workforce redundancies and for product rebranding, and other charges incurred as a direct result of our acquisition efforts. These other charges include changes to the fair value of contingent purchase consideration, acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the completion of the purchase price allocation, purchase price that is deemed to be compensatory in nature, incentive compensation arrangements with continuing employees of acquired companies and gains and losses resulting from the settlement of a pre-existing contractual relationship with an acquiree. A reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the attached table.

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc., excluding (i) provision for income taxes, (ii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iii) stock-based compensation expense, (iv) restructuring charges, asset impairments, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, (v) other (income) expense, not including interest income and (vi) acquisition and related costs. From this amount, we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to arrive at Adjusted Net Income.
