18-11-09	PagesJaunes priority is growth, not balance sheet	AFX UK Focus
BARCELONA, Nov 18 (Reuters) - French yellow-pages publisher PagesJaunes said growth was more important than balance-sheet concerns as it wanted the freedom to be part of an expected consolidation among local information providers. `Chief executive Jean-Pierre Remy told an investor conference the group had no debt due until late 2013, and headroom on its debt covenants of more than 20 percent, meaning the company's net debt of about 2 billion euros ($3 billion) was low priority.` `"At the moment, it is not a priority for us to work on the balance sheet," said Remy, whose company is majority-owned by private equity firm KKR and Goldman Sachs. "We are embarking on a very aggressive growth strategy.` `"I think there will be further consolidation in our business. I don't mean the directory business, but local information," he said, adding: "We need to get more flexibility on the options we have."` Not only yellow-pages companies but also local news providers, especially newspapers, have suffered from a slump in classified advertising as small businesses, their main customers, have tightened marketing budgets. `Remy said he expected no rapid improvement on that front.` `"We don't expect the advertising market to rebound in the short term or even in the mid term," he said.` `PagesJaunes has been faster than peers such as Britain's Yell to move its business online, helping its profit margin. Some 40 percent of its 1.2 billion euros in revenues came from online products last year, compared with Yell's 15 percent.` (Reporting by Georgina Prodhan; Editing by Dan Lalor) ($1 = 0.6680 euro) Keywords: TECH CONFERENCE/PAGESJAUNES (georgina.prodhan@thomsonreuters.com; +4420 7542 7954; Reuters Messaging georgina.prodhan.reuters.com@reuters.net) COPYRIGHT Copyright Thomson Reuters 2009.

	Good.......... something. Shoobie. I´m with you. I cannot see this millionaire movement. My screen says last trade was at 17:30:18 (1 hour less for you) with 707k shares bought. That´s not bad. It has been confirmed that movement. hasn´t it? I keep on my last theory about the rally. I must lose the judgement, but If it´s true that millionaire movement, I think it is a very good sign. Monday could touch up up up. But surely I´ll be wrong, like always. Good luck. More \| View thread (19) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down

	As i sit watching Terry and the team doing a good job for charity, plus sipping a nice bottle of chateau neuf du pape, i dwell on the future of the Yellow beast.....she has taken us to the depths of 12p and the dizzy hights of the 80's (my favourite yr). She labours in her forties as the MM's play their games and manipulate her like a chastity belt. Never fear the big yellow beast will roar.....patience grasshopper.
