- 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Rocket Fuel reported better than expected 4Q16. Platform Solutions is gaining traction with its largest customers, which we expect to continue in 2017. While we believe the company should return to growth on a gross revenue basis as Media Services growth adds to the rapidly growing Platform Solutions, a shift toward fixed margin should push FY17 net revenue lower y/y. The lower media margin, increasing mix of lower-margin Platform revenue, and seasonal weakness pushed 1Q17 revenue guidance below expectations. We believe the lower net revenue also pushed Q1 EBITDA guidance below expectations. While continued costcutting efforts should translate into positive EBITDA and free cash flow, we estimate lower profitability y/y due to the lower media margin and increasing mix of lowermargin Platform revenue."
