WESTERVILLE, OH and NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 09/12/13 — The Guitammer Company (OTCQB: GTMM), a leader in tactile broadcast technology and creator of the award-winning line of ButtKicker®-brand low frequency audio transducers that provide an immersive entertainment experience for audiences, announced today that SoundView Technology Group has released a comprehensive research report on The Guitammer Company:
“Mobile devices have changed the way we interact with computers from simply typing on a keyboard to using senses like touch, gesture, motion, images and sound. Glimpses of next-generation computing show even more integration with our senses — examples are Google Glass, smart watches and a host of wearable computing products. After a long time “in the lab” so-called haptic technologies are entering the mainstream. We use “4D” as a term for these more immersive interfaces.
So far most of the action has been with 4D technologies embedded in devices. Companies like Immersion Corporation have been successful in licensing their 4D technologies to companies like Samsung. However, things get far more interesting when these effects start going over-the-air using broadcast methods. We-ve seen it in gaming and amusements but now it-s showing up in sports and general entertainment.
The Guitammer Company (OTCQB: GTMM) is a small public company in this space with unique patented technology that is being deployed today. After years of piloting and testing, major organizations are preparing for more widespread use of the company-s haptic ButtKicker and ButtKicker Live! [also being branded as “4D Sports powered by ButtKicker”] 4D products. ButtKicker and its companion technology, ButtKicker Live!, gives viewers a more visceral experience when viewing content. It-s especially compelling for music, sports, and action films.
ButtKicker Live! leverages Guitammer-s 4D broadcast patent to bring immersive experiences into the home through broadcast TV, whether over the air, cable, satellite, FiOS or IPTV. The market for 4D broadcasting is developing now and represents a sizable market opportunity for Guitammer, on the order of $500 million over the next few years in both one-time and recurring revenues.
Guitammer is on the cusp of achieving key milestones with the imminent launch of ButtKicker Live! Success with the new 4D broadcast business would provide a significant boost to the top and bottom lines. A high level of execution by management in the months ahead has the potential to vault Guitammer into the spotlight with established media and entertainment companies. We-ve seen this favorable dynamic occur with technologies similar in nature — think TiVo and Slingbox.
As a small company with leading market share in a large market, valuation can be hard and tends to move in a step function. We used our intrinsic valuation (IV) model under different scenarios to develop a framework for investing. Our base case assumes no heady adoption and that the technology achieves only niche status in the next few years, which translates into a share price of $0.40 to $0.50. But a single major licensing deal increases the IV to $1.50 to $2.00/share. Prior acquisitions, even for niche companies like Sling Media, would equate to approximately $3.00/share.
