FriendFinder to Complete IPO by End of Year

BOCA RATON, Fla. — FriendFinder Networks Inc. on Tuesday said that it intends to complete its IPO process by the end of the year.

FriendFinder, which operates the AdultFriendFinder network as well as about two dozen more networking sites, also owns Penthouse Media Group Inc.

FriendFinder, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, said it will use net proceeds of the public offering to redeem a portion of its outstanding senior secured indebtedness and to pay waiver fees to certain debtholders.

“The primary purpose of this offering is to repay some of our outstanding debt, including certain debt held by our affiliates, which we expect will decrease our interest expense and increase our flexibility with respect to our operations and growth strategy,” the company said in the filing.

According to a filing with the SEC, the company said that as of June 30, it had about $81 million in debt at the parent level. It also had about $442.1 million in debt in connection with its acquisition of Various, which was the preceding parent operator of its FriendFinder websites.

  • FriendFinder averaged 54 million unique worldwide visitors per month through June 30.

  • It also averaged 4.3 million new registrations on its websites each month for six months ended June 30.

For the six months ended June 30, FriendFinder made payments to marketing affiliates of approximately $30.3 million.
