Forum : LendingTree Set to Raise Prices

First comment from this forum :"John Challis | Sep 10, 2007 I feel like I may have made this call in my blog entry back in May. I talked about how 3 key things were going to have to happen for lead generators to be able to sustain themselves after the implosion.1) Increase prices to compensate for diminishing add buying power2) Buy fewer placements or poorer quality placements3) Or divert funds from other sources (i.e. reduced payroll) While LT already did #3 back in May, they are now exercising option #1 as well. For many shops, the LT long form lead has become an indispensable source of marketing. Loan officers prefer it because - to be blunt - they don’t have to work very hard to close them. As a result, for many shops, it has generated a virtually inelastic demand. Like gasoline, people will always need to drive and will pay virtually any price for gasoline. Many shops actually have a near inelastic demand for LT leads because they have built their entire business a...

Article 5/12/2007 : LendingTree lays off 440
2007-11-01 20:37:00
Mortgage maker becomes latest to cut staff, with about 147 jobs eliminated in Irvine office. By MATHEW PADILLA and MARY ANN MILBOURN The Orange County Register Mortgage industry woes are rapidly spreading beyond the subprime sector as North Carolina-based LendingTree, a major presence in Orange County, laid off 20 percent of its workforce nationwide Friday. Although a majority of the company's 2,200 workers are in Irvine, the layoffs are evenly distributed among operations in Irvine, Charlotte, N.C., and Jacksonville, Fla., said Rebecca Anderson, a spokeswoman for the lender, a unit of IAC/InterActiveCorp. in New York. That would equate to 440 layoffs, including about 147 in Irvine. It's the second large layoff announced by an Orange County lender this week. ImpacMortgage Holdings Inc. said Wednesday that about 100 workers got pink slips, including 70 at its Irvine headquarters. That follows more than 3,000 other mortgage layo...

News 5/12/2007 : LendingTree to Lay Off 440 Workers
2007-11-01 20:20:00
By TSC StaffIAC/InterActiveCorp's (IACI - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) LendingTree unit is laying off 440 employees, or about 20% of its staff, according to a report late Friday on The Wall Street Journal's Web site.The report attributed the news to a LendingTree spokeswoman, who said the company had to align its costs with the changing marketplace. LendingTree's Web site connects consumers with lenders, and the company receives its revenue from the latter group. The spokeswoman said lenders are now rejecting more loan applications, hurting the company's profit margins, according to the report. Earlier this month, IAC/InterActiveCorp reported that first-quarter revenue at LendingTree dropped 12% to $100 million, while operating income before amortization fell 76% to $3.1 million. Shares of IAC/InterActiveCorp ended Friday's session up 12 cents at $34.85source : http://www.thestreet.com/newsanalysis/tec hnet/10356541.html
