EBay's fourth quarter results gives retail stores a thrashing

Hot on the heels of the news that HMV and Jessops are disappearing from the high street and with Marks & Spencer still reeling from their disastrous performance in the run up to the Christmas period, EBay has announced its fourth quarter results which beat analysts' forecasts, boosted by a dramatic rise in the use of mobile phones to access its online auction house and PayPal service.

 

Revenue for the fourth quarter was up 18% to $4 billion, and for the full year increased 21% to $14.1 billion. Net income on a Gaap basis was $751 million for the quarter and $2.6 billion for the year.

John Donahoe, CEO, eBay, says the results are down in large part to the rise of mobile, which "continues to rewrite the commerce playbook".

PayPal is using mobile as a way of bridging the gap between its traditional online domain and the high-street. The company has signed up 23 large US retailers to its technology, meaning that they can accept payment by PayPal at the check-out. The company also affirms that its deal with Discover to issue PayPal cards over the card processor's seven-million strong retailer network is firmly on track.

The unit smashed predictions to process $14 billion in mobile payments for customers last year, 250% more than in 2011. EBay's mobile service saw $13 billion in volume, more than double the previous year. For 2013, both businesses are forecasting volumes of $20 billion.

The figures are in accordance with the results of the IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index, which show that UK sales through mobile devices (including tablets) were up 304% on 2011. Overall, the online retail market grew by 14% in 2012 to £78 billion and is expected to increase another 12% this year, to £87 billion.

Amex cuts 5400 jobs globally

American Express has detailed plans to cut over 5000 jobs, predominantly within the giant's travel business. This is mainly as a result of cost cutting and restructuring in order to deal with a "digital revolution".

 

Amex says that some of the losses will be offset, meaning that staffing levels will be between four per cent and six per cent down on the current total of 63,500 at the end of the year .

The global business travel unit will take the brunt of the losses as Amex seeks to respond to an environment in which customers increasingly use online channels and automated servicing tools.

The digitisation of services is also cited as a reason to continue the "reconfiguration of cardmember servicing and collections as we drive efficiency through our global scale and as more customers use online and mobile channels instead of paper and telephone".

Job losses will cut across all levels of seniority, businesses and staff groups and be spread proportionally between the US and international markets.

Amex stated that the move will cost around $287 million after tax in a fourth quarter restructuring charge.

 

In addition, the firm will take another $307 million after tax hit thanks to US cardholders redeeming rewards and various customer reimbursements.

After these charges, net income for the quarter was $637 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to $1.2 billion, or $1.01 per share the previous year, Fourth quarter consolidated total revenues net of interest expense were $8.1 billion, up five per cent from $7.7 billion a year ago.

Kenneth Chenault, chairman and CEO, Amex, says: "Against the backdrop of an uneven economic recovery, these restructuring initiatives are designed to make American Express more nimble, more efficient and more effective in using our resources to drive growth."
