Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Shopping malls may need to reinvent themselves

VANCOUVER, BC (May 25, 2011) Clearlease Reports Back when most shopping malls were built, cutting edge technology was color television and a mobile phone meant a land line with a really long cord.

Today, technology allows shoppers to compare prices while at the store or buy online and has become one of the biggest threats to retailers and their mall landlords. Many retailers have adapted or embraced new technology as another channel for their sales.

But malls are not so nimble. Some retailers such as Kohl’s Corp and Macy’s Inc, whose department stores anchor big regional malls, have said they want to shrink the size of their stores. That is much easier said than done. Malls can refurbish, upgrade lighting, change the decor or add space. But significant changes are difficult, both physically and legally, and take years.

That means much of the next phase of the evolution of the U.S. mall — a concept that proliferated in the 1960s through the 1980s — will be undertaken by developers of new malls, whose construction and financing are just beginning to look plausible.

“It’s a transformation of the industry,” said Grant Herlitz, president of the Howard Hughes Corp, a developer and diversified real estate company spun off from mall owner General Growth Properties Inc.

“Developers have to meld themselves with those retailers to figure out the mall of the 21st Century,” Herlitz said.

Malls are great big organic beings, with the fate of the specialty retailers, department stores and mall owners intertwined. Legal agreements govern what department stores and landlords can do with the buildings they either own or lease and often require all parties approve major physical changes. Other agreements, such as operating covenants, dictate the hours and years a department store must remain open for business and what it can sell.

“It’s not that simple,” William Taubman, chief operating officer of luxury mall owner Taubman Centers Inc, said while attending the International Council of Shopping Centers annual convention in Las Vegas.

“They take enormous approval from the department stores as well as the communities,” he said. “Where we’ve had department stores that in our view were underperforming and in our view were willing to downsize, by the time you get done figuring all the cost involved, it almost never works.”

Retailers will shape new mall development, said Howard Hughes Chief Executive Officer David Wienreb.

The company has more than a dozen development sites or redevelopment projects, such as Manhattan’s South Street Seaport, Hawaii’s Ward Centers and Cottonwood in Salt Lake City.

“We create a user friendly experience that’s an enhancement to the community and that speaks to what the retailer is looking to deliver to their customers,” Weinreb said.

Australia’s Westfield Group has been a pioneer in U.S. mall redevelopment, melding traditional mall retailers with atypical mall retailers. It was the first to add value stores such as Costco Wholesale Corp and Target Corp stores and grocery stores to malls that include high-end retailers such as Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom Inc.

USING TECHNOLOGY TO FIGHT TECHNOLOGY

Many retailers today are embracing technology. Walt Disney Co’s Disney Store has been transforming its toy stores into high-tech playgrounds. The stores have become entertainment centers, where children can wave a wand and Cinderella appears in the mirror, build their own car that is based on the movie “Cars” or see clips of Disney films in an in-store mini theater.

Disney opened a dozen of the new stores last year. After those generated double-digit traffic increases, the company accelerated the roll-out and plans to open another 40 this year.

O’Neill Properties Group plans to use technology to lure shoppers to The Point, a planned development that includes a 3 million square-foot retail development on part of the 453 acres in Sayreville, New Jersey, 30 miles from Manhattan.

O’Neill plans to make massive use of LED (light emitting diode) video lighting to advertise the products and the websites of the mall retailers to the 800 million people who drive past the site annually.

“We have an opportunity to build a mall from scratch,” said Brian O’Neill, founder and chairman of the company that bears his name. “We’ve gotten more signage approved, 10 times that of Times Square in terms of signage.

Plans for the property also include 2,000 residential units, and a hotel. But the first phase will be The Landing at the Point, a 620,000 square-foot high-end retail center.

O’Neill said he has received plenty of interest from investors, including sovereign wealth funds and pension funds to foot the $1 billion price tag. He is currently in talks with large mall developers, especially real estate investment trusts, although he would not name them.

“If you think of retailing today, it’s going through the most significant metamorphoses since the beginning of time,” O’Neill said. “Specifically, retailers are having to figure out how to sell goods in store and online, and the ability to use each of these two mediums to drive sales has not yet been incorporated into a mall.”

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Obama and Cameron pledge no let-up in Libya

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Obama and Cameron pledge no let-up in Libya

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Obama and Cameron pledge no let-up in Libya

VANCOUVER, BC (May 25, 2011) Clearlease Reports President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron warned Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi on Wednesday there would be no let up in pressure on him to go but said it will require a slow and steady campaign.

The two leaders, at a joint news conference, predicted Gaddafi will ultimately leave power. Cameron did not deny the British military is considering using its attack helicopters against Libyan targets to increase the heat on Gaddafi.

“We will be looking at all the options for turning up that pressure,” Cameron said when asked about the helicopters.

The two leaders met against a backdrop of a stalemate in the three-month conflict, with Gaddafi hanging on to power despite a NATO air campaign launched to protect civilians and attack Libyan government targets.

“I believe that we have built enough momentum that as long as we sustain the course that we are on that he is ultimately going to step down,” Obama said.

Obama defended U.S. policy of backing off the air campaign after initially leading the effort, a policy that has led to some criticism from U.S. allies in Europe.

Britain, France and other NATO members have taken the lead but face just as many financial hardships at home as the United States, and there are some suggestions that the allies would like Washington to do more.

“Ultimately this is going to be a slow, steady process in which we are able to wear down the regime,” Obama said.

He said the United States does not have a whole host of new and different military assets that could be applied and that it is sticking to its commitment not to use ground forces.

The result, he said, “may mean we sometimes have to be more patient that people would like” but ultimately success will be made without shattering the coalition, particularly among its Arab participants.

Later, Obama delivers a speech at Westminster Hall laying out the main theme of his trip — that the United States and Europe must play a lead role together in global security.

Obama, on a two-day state visit to Britain where he was feted by Queen Elizabeth, moves to France on Thursday for a Group of Eight summit in Deauville and concludes his week-long trip in Poland on Friday and Saturday.

Obama and Cameron went out of their way to gloss over any differences between the two allies, and in a show of bonhomie, they served up grilled burgers and sausages to U.S. and British soldiers and their families in a shirt-sleeved appearance at No. 10 Downing Street.

While Britain has opted for stern austerity measures to deal with a debt crisis, the Obama administration has resisted deep spending cuts as his Republican opponents demand.

In the name of unity, all the two leaders could say on this obvious difference between them was that each country will have to deal with problems in its own way.

“I completely agree with Barack that each country is different,” said Cameron.

Cameron said he supported Obama’s move last week to declare Israelis and Palestinians should open peace negotiations based on the lines that existed before the 1967 Six Day War in the Middle East, a policy move that has enraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Obama stuck to the position, saying it is going to require “wrenching compromise2 on both sides.

“We will be looking at all the options for turning up that pressure,” Cameron said when asked about the helicopters.

The two leaders met against a backdrop of a stalemate in the three-month conflict, with Gaddafi hanging on to power despite a NATO air campaign launched to protect civilians and attack Libyan government targets.

“I believe that we have built enough momentum that as long as we sustain the course that we are on that he is ultimately going to step down,” Obama said.

Obama defended U.S. policy of backing off the air campaign after initially leading the effort, a policy that has led to some criticism from U.S. allies in Europe.

Britain, France and other NATO members have taken the lead but face just as many financial hardships at home as the United States, and there are some suggestions that the allies would like Washington to do more.

“Ultimately this is going to be a slow, steady process in which we are able to wear down the regime,” Obama said.

He said the United States does not have a whole host of new and different military assets that could be applied and that it is sticking to its commitment not to use ground forces.

The result, he said, “may mean we sometimes have to be more patient that people would like” but ultimately success will be made without shattering the coalition, particularly among its Arab participants.

Later, Obama delivers a speech at Westminster Hall laying out the main theme of his trip — that the United States and Europe must play a lead role together in global security.

Obama, on a two-day state visit to Britain where he was feted by Queen Elizabeth, moves to France on Thursday for a Group of Eight summit in Deauville and concludes his week-long trip in Poland on Friday and Saturday.

Obama and Cameron went out of their way to gloss over any differences between the two allies, and in a show of bonhomie, they served up grilled burgers and sausages to U.S. and British soldiers and their families in a shirt-sleeved appearance at No. 10 Downing Street.

While Britain has opted for stern austerity measures to deal with a debt crisis, the Obama administration has resisted deep spending cuts as his Republican opponents demand.

In the name of unity, all the two leaders could say on this obvious difference between them was that each country will have to deal with problems in its own way.

“I completely agree with Barack that each country is different,” said Cameron.

Cameron said he supported Obama’s move last week to declare Israelis and Palestinians should open peace negotiations based on the lines that existed before the 1967 Six Day War in the Middle East, a policy move that has enraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Obama stuck to the position, saying it is going to require “wrenching compromise2 on both sides.

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Canadian Home-resale price index up most in 9 months

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Canadian Home-resale price index up most in 9 months

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Canadian Home-resale price index up most in 9 months

VANCOUVER, BC (May 24, 2011) Clearlease Reports Home resale prices rose in March for a fourth straight month, its biggest advance in nine, as prices rose in nearly all of the metropolitan markets tracked by the Teranet-National Bank Composite House Price Index as of Tuesday May 24, 2011.

The index, which measures price changes for repeat sales of single-family homes in six metropolitan areas, on Wednesday showed overall prices were up 0.6 percent in March from February. Five metropolitan areas reported increases in the month.

“This should calm those who were fearing a severe downward price correction,” said Marc Pinsonneault, senior economist at National Bank Financial.

“On the other hand, we do not think that the acceleration of home price inflation in March represents the start of a lasting trend.”

Analysts largely expect the housing market to ease up this year as interest rates are expected to rise.

The latest April data from the Canadian Real Estate Association showed sales of existing homes fell in the month from March as activity dropped off after a first-quarter rush to buy before the introduction of tighter mortgage regulations.

The largest monthly advance was in the Montreal market, up 1.2 percent, followed by 0.6 percent increases in both Toronto and Vancouver, the country’s most expensive cities.

Prices also rose in Ottawa and Halifax, up 0.4 percent and 0.3 percent respectively.

Calgary was the exception, trailing for a third straight month, but its 0.1 percent decline was the smallest of the seven decreases reported in the last eight months, the data showed.

Housing has been a resilient sector of the Canadian economy, rebounding quickly after a brief slump early in the financial crisis.

Overall prices were up 4.1 percent from a year earlier.

The index tracks home prices over time for repeat sales, so properties with at least two sales are required in the calculations. The report did not provide actual prices.

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports UK banks fail to meet targets to lend money to small and medium-sized enterprises

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports UK banks fail to meet targets to lend money to small and medium-sized enterprises

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports UK banks fail to meet targets to lend money to small and medium-sized enterprises

VANCOUVER, BC (May 24, 2011) Clearlease Reports The British government has warned the country’s major banks that it wants to see a “significant improvement” in lending to smaller businesses after figures released Monday fell well short of pledges.

The Bank of England revealed that the “Big Five” banks lent some 16.8 billion pounds ($27 billion) in the first three months of the year to small and medium-sized enterprises.

That’s 2.2 billion pounds short of the amount they agreed to lend in the quarter under the so-called Project Merlin agreement with the government, a deal that has been criticized for being toothless.

“There is a serious problem with lending to good, small companies,” said Business Secretary Vince Cable. “We looked to the Merlin agreement to rectify the problem and though these are early days we want to see significant improvement over the next few months.”

Cable said the government will monitor the banks’ performance “extremely closely and if they fail to meet the commitments they have agreed we will examine options for further action.”

The Conservative-led coalition government struck a deal with Britain’s top banks in February to curb bonus payments and boost lending to businesses as it sought to draw a line under a crisis that culminated in a multibillion-pound (-dollar) state bailout of the sector.

Project Merlin followed a public outcry about the banks’ role in the financial crisis, including past large bonus payouts and ongoing criticism that they were hampering Britain’s economic recovery by failing to lend to businesses.

Banks pledged to increase lending to small and medium-sized businesses to 76 billion pounds this year, equating to 19 billion pounds in the first quarter.

But the government also appeared to heed warnings from banks that excessive government interference would harm Britain’s position as a global financial centre, and the deal did not include any enforcement measures or penalties should the banks fail to follow through on their commitments.

The British Bankers’ Association said the figures showed a solid start to the year and that available capacity was not fully taken up due to muted demand.

“Economic conditions remain challenging, and demand for lending is likely to vary through the year,” the Merlin banks — Barclays, HSBC, Santander, and part-nationalized lenders Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds — said in a statement. “So whilst these numbers are encouraging, it is too early to draw conclusions as to the year-end outcome.”

Ed Balls, the opposition Labour Party’s Treasury spokesman, said that the figures were worrying “just at the time we need small and medium-sized businesses to grow so we can get our economy moving again.”

In more positive news, the Bank of England figures showed that the banks were on course to meet overall business lending targets of 190 billion pounds this year, or around 47.5 billion pounds for the quarter.

The Bank of England revealed that the “Big Five” banks lent some 16.8 billion pounds ($27 billion) in the first three months of the year to small and medium-sized enterprises.

That’s 2.2 billion pounds short of the amount they agreed to lend in the quarter under the so-called Project Merlin agreement with the government, a deal that has been criticized for being toothless.

“There is a serious problem with lending to good, small companies,” said Business Secretary Vince Cable. “We looked to the Merlin agreement to rectify the problem and though these are early days we want to see significant improvement over the next few months.”

Cable said the government will monitor the banks’ performance “extremely closely and if they fail to meet the commitments they have agreed we will examine options for further action.”

The Conservative-led coalition government struck a deal with Britain’s top banks in February to curb bonus payments and boost lending to businesses as it sought to draw a line under a crisis that culminated in a multibillion-pound (-dollar) state bailout of the sector.

Project Merlin followed a public outcry about the banks’ role in the financial crisis, including past large bonus payouts and ongoing criticism that they were hampering Britain’s economic recovery by failing to lend to businesses.

Banks pledged to increase lending to small and medium-sized businesses to 76 billion pounds this year, equating to 19 billion pounds in the first quarter.

But the government also appeared to heed warnings from banks that excessive government interference would harm Britain’s position as a global financial centre, and the deal did not include any enforcement measures or penalties should the banks fail to follow through on their commitments.

The British Bankers’ Association said the figures showed a solid start to the year and that available capacity was not fully taken up due to muted demand.

“Economic conditions remain challenging, and demand for lending is likely to vary through the year,” the Merlin banks — Barclays, HSBC, Santander, and part-nationalized lenders Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds — said in a statement. “So whilst these numbers are encouraging, it is too early to draw conclusions as to the year-end outcome.”

Ed Balls, the opposition Labour Party’s Treasury spokesman, said that the figures were worrying “just at the time we need small and medium-sized businesses to grow so we can get our economy moving again.”

In more positive news, the Bank of England figures showed that the banks were on course to meet overall business lending targets of 190 billion pounds this year, or around 47.5 billion pounds for the quarter.

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports US Stocks are seeing modest strength in early trading on Tuesday May 24, 2011

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports US Stocks are seeing modest strength in early trading on Tuesday May 24, 2011

VANCOUVER, BC (May 24, 2011) Clearlease Reports Stocks are seeing modest strength in early trading on Tuesday May 24, 2011, regaining some ground after falling sharply in the previous session. The major averages have all moved to the upside after ending Monday’s trading at their worst closing levels in a month.

With the price of oil rebounding after falling sharply on Monday, energy stocks are helping to lead the way higher early on. Crude for July delivery is currently up by $1.56 at $99.26 after plunging $2.40 to $97.70 a barrel in the previous session.

Other resource stocks such as gold and steel stocks are also seeing early strength amid increases in other commodities prices. Most of the other major sectors are showing more modest moves.

Meanwhile, weakness has emerged among health insurance stocks, as reflected by the 1.5 percent loss currently being shown by the Morgan Stanley Healthcare Payor Index. The index is pulling back further off the record closing high it set last Thursday.

Shortly, trading could be impacted by the release of the Commerce Department’s report on new home sales in the month of April.

The Commerce Department is due to release its new home sales report at 10 am ET, with economists expecting sales to come in unchanged compared to the annual rate of 300,000 reported for March.

Among individual stocks, auto parts retailer AutoZone, Inc. (AZO) is seeing early strength after reporting third quarter earnings that rose to $5.29 per share from $4.12 per share in the year-ago quarter, coming in above analyst estimates for earnings of $4.99 per share.

The company said its net sales rose to $1.98 billion from $1.82 billion last year. Analysts had expected revenues of $1.92 billion.

Meanwhile, Medtronic, Inc. (MDT) is trading lower after the medical device maker reported fourth quarter net income that fell to $0.72 per share from $0.86 per share in the same quarter last year.

Excluding charges, Medtronic earned $0.90 compared to analyst estimates for earnings of $0.93 per share. The company said its net sales rose 2 percent to $4.295 billion, while analysts had expected $4.29 billion.

The major averages have pulled back off their highs for the young session but are currently clinging to modest gains. The Dow is up 14.61 points or 0.1 percent at 12,395.87, the Nasdaq is up 2.36 points or 0.1 percent at 2,761.26 and the S&P 500 is up 3.23 points or 0.3 percent at 1,320.60.

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports April new home sales at 4-month high

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports April new home sales at 4-month high

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports April new home sales at 4-month high

VANCOUVER, BC (May 24, 2011) Clearlease Reports new U.S. single-family home sales rose unexpectedly in April to notch their second straight month of gains and prices increased, according to a government report on Tuesday May 24, 2011 that offered some hope for the stagnant housing market.

The US Commerce Department said sales increased 7.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted 323,000 unit annual rate, the highest level since December, from a slightly upwardly revised 301,000-unit pace in March.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast new home sales unchanged at a previously reported 300,000-unit rate. All four regions recorded gains in sales, with the West reporting a 15.1 percent rise.

However, compared to April last year sales were down 23.1 percent.

An oversupply of used houses and a relentless wave of foreclosed properties are curbing the market for new homes, even as builders are keeping lean inventories. There were a record low 175,000 new homes available for sale last month, down 2.8 percent from the prior month.

Data last week showed a steep drop in new home construction in April and a dip in sales of previously owned homes.

The Commerce Department report the median sales price for a new home rose 1.6 percent last month to $217,900. Compared with April last year, the median price increased 4.6 percent.

At April’s sales pace, the supply of new homes on the market dropped to 6.5 months’ worth, the lowest since April last year, from 7.2 months’ worth in March.

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Recipe for Yandex IPO hit: Genius, nerve, patience

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Recipe for Yandex IPO hit: Genius, nerve, patience

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Recipe for Yandex IPO hit: Genius, nerve, patience

VANCOUVER, BC (May 24, 2011) Clearlease Reports Take a helping of Russian genius, add a portion of risk appetite and stir in a lot of patience, and you have the recipe for the resounding success of search engine Yandex’s U.S. stock market float.

The Nasdaq listing values Russia’s leading internet search engine at $8 billion, an eye-popping 500 times its worth when private equity investors bought into the company in 2000.

That year the business, founded in 1997 by mathematician Arkady Volozh and geophysicist Ilya Segalovich, had revenues of just $72,000 and lost $2 million.

Eyeing a long-term prospect, Yelena Ivashentseva of private equity fund Baring Vostok Capital Partners put together an investor group that bought a 36 percent stake in Yandex for just over $5 million.

Talks to buy into Yandex lasted seven months, Ivashentseva said recently, recalling the horror of the fund’s backers over the deal.

“It was really difficult to explain this to our investors, who en masse demanded that we get rid of the stake,” she told Forbes magazine’s Russian edition.

It turned out to be the only round of fund-raising that the company did until its initial public offering (IPO), which featured a slug of new shares. Investors who came into Yandex in recent years bought stock from existing shareholders.

Yandex went on to richly reward its investors, with the algorithm driving its search engine — conceived to scan the Bible, Russian classical literature and patent texts — proving superior to that of rival Google, whose co-founder, Sergey Brin, was born in Russia.

The company’s home site yandex.ru has a market share of 65 percent in Russia, compared with Google’s 22 percent, capitalizing on a boom in online advertising to generate sales of $445 million last year, up 43 percent, while earnings rose 90 percent to $135 million.

DIAMONDS IN THE SKY

Volozh is a slight man with a quiet manner and, since the earliest days of the Internet boom, a wry skepticism about the millions, then billions of dollars flooding into his industry.

“We used to be very conservative, until we started meeting so many excited people,” Volozh joked in 2000.

He resisted the overtures of suitors dangling the prospect of a huge payday, telling Reuters in 2005 that bankers “are promising us a golden future, diamonds in the sky, if we do an

IPO.”

Sergei Belousov, founder of Russian IT firms Parallels and Acronis, and venture fund Runa, praised Volozh as responsive, direct and honest — “perhaps more honest than he really could allow himself to be in the cut-throat internet business.”

“He creates the impression of a very confident person, not easily scared or de-railed,” Belousov told Reuters. “Google does not scare him, even though he seems to be awake and sane about the threat.”

PATIENCE PAYS

Bankers say plans for a long-awaited float were prepared in 2008, only to be derailed by the global financial crisis.

The company’s core investors decided to sit out the crash and Yandex, bucking an 8 percent contraction in the Russian economy in 2009, delivered top-line growth that year although earnings shrank by 17 percent.

“The investors waited for long enough and this strategy was successful. They weren’t trying to push Yandex into an IPO as soon as possible,” said Anna Lepetukhina, an analyst at Moscow brokerage Troika Dialog.

“There were rumors that they were going to do an IPO in 2008. Then the crisis came and they were prepared to wait. They got a good return on that investment.”

For the investors, the Yandex story might suggest that Russia’s investment climate is by no means as hostile as many say.

Baring Vostok, which retains a 26 percent stake as Yandex’s largest shareholder, abides by a few golden rules to avoid the pitfalls that others have fallen into, founding partner Michael Calvey told Reuters on Tuesday.

The fund’s 19-firm portfolio is weighted toward services, avoids industries where it might clash with state firms and relies on equity funding, not debt, to shield its investments against Russia’s often vicious business cycle.

Calvey, an American who founded Baring Vostok in 1994, said in an interview that the fund’s strategy had enabled it to ride out the 2008-09 crash without having to make any disposals.

“We don’t expect there to be any fatalities in our portfolio as a result of the crisis,” Calvey said. He declined to comment on the Yandex IPO, citing regulatory restrictions.

Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Recipe for Yandex IPO hit: Genius, nerve, patience

VANCOUVER, BC (May 24, 2011) Clearlease Reports Take a helping of Russian genius, add a portion of risk appetite and stir in a lot of patience, and you have the recipe for the resounding success of search engine Yandex’s U.S. stock market float.

The Nasdaq listing values Russia’s leading internet search engine at $8 billion, an eye-popping 500 times its worth when private equity investors bought into the company in 2000.

That year the business, founded in 1997 by mathematician Arkady Volozh and geophysicist Ilya Segalovich, had revenues of just $72,000 and lost $2 million.

Eyeing a long-term prospect, Yelena Ivashentseva of private equity fund Baring Vostok Capital Partners put together an investor group that bought a 36 percent stake in Yandex for just over $5 million.

Talks to buy into Yandex lasted seven months, Ivashentseva said recently, recalling the horror of the fund’s backers over the deal.

“It was really difficult to explain this to our investors, who en masse demanded that we get rid of the stake,” she told Forbes magazine’s Russian edition.

It turned out to be the only round of fund-raising that the company did until its initial public offering (IPO), which featured a slug of new shares. Investors who came into Yandex in recent years bought stock from existing shareholders.

Yandex went on to richly reward its investors, with the algorithm driving its search engine — conceived to scan the Bible, Russian classical literature and patent texts — proving superior to that of rival Google, whose co-founder, Sergey Brin, was born in Russia.

The company’s home site yandex.ru has a market share of 65 percent in Russia, compared with Google’s 22 percent, capitalizing on a boom in online advertising to generate sales of $445 million last year, up 43 percent, while earnings rose 90 percent to $135 million.

DIAMONDS IN THE SKY

Volozh is a slight man with a quiet manner and, since the earliest days of the Internet boom, a wry skepticism about the millions, then billions of dollars flooding into his industry.

“We used to be very conservative, until we started meeting so many excited people,” Volozh joked in 2000.

He resisted the overtures of suitors dangling the prospect of a huge payday, telling Reuters in 2005 that bankers “are promising us a golden future, diamonds in the sky, if we do an

IPO.”

Sergei Belousov, founder of Russian IT firms Parallels and Acronis, and venture fund Runa, praised Volozh as responsive, direct and honest — “perhaps more honest than he really could allow himself to be in the cut-throat internet business.”

“He creates the impression of a very confident person, not easily scared or de-railed,” Belousov told Reuters. “Google does not scare him, even though he seems to be awake and sane about the threat.”

PATIENCE PAYS

Bankers say plans for a long-awaited float were prepared in 2008, only to be derailed by the global financial crisis.

The company’s core investors decided to sit out the crash and Yandex, bucking an 8 percent contraction in the Russian economy in 2009, delivered top-line growth that year although earnings shrank by 17 percent.

“The investors waited for long enough and this strategy was successful. They weren’t trying to push Yandex into an IPO as soon as possible,” said Anna Lepetukhina, an analyst at Moscow brokerage Troika Dialog.

“There were rumors that they were going to do an IPO in 2008. Then the crisis came and they were prepared to wait. They got a good return on that investment.”

For the investors, the Yandex story might suggest that Russia’s investment climate is by no means as hostile as many say.

Baring Vostok, which retains a 26 percent stake as Yandex’s largest shareholder, abides by a few golden rules to avoid the pitfalls that others have fallen into, founding partner Michael Calvey told Reuters on Tuesday.

The fund’s 19-firm portfolio is weighted toward services, avoids industries where it might clash with state firms and relies on equity funding, not debt, to shield its investments against Russia’s often vicious business cycle.

Calvey, an American who founded Baring Vostok in 1994, said in an interview that the fund’s strategy had enabled it to ride out the 2008-09 crash without having to make any disposals.

“We don’t expect there to be any fatalities in our portfolio as a result of the crisis,” Calvey said. He declined to comment on the Yandex IPO, citing regulatory restrictions.
