Autobytel.com agrees with estimates of higher revs

NEW YORK, June 10 (Reuters) - Online car seller
Autobytel.com Inc.'s <ABTL.O> chief executive officer said
Thursday he was comfortable with analysts' estimates that
company revenues will rise to $34 million this year from $24
million in 1998.
"I am fine with those numbers," CEO Mark Lorimer told an
analysts' conference.
He said the company would grow through international
expansion, although its initial efforts in Europe have been
criticized. In the UK, manufacturers do not provide invoice
information the company is able to provide to its U.S.
customers, Lorimer said.
Chief Financial Officer Hoshi Printer said he sees revenue
growth from Autobytel.com's higher-margin non-car-sales
services, such as car insurance and financing, and advertising
on its Web site.
The company currently makes 95 percent of its sales from
dealer fees and 5 percent from the non-car-sales business.
Printer said he sees 20 percent of the company's business
coming from the added services within the next three to five
years.
Autobytel.com on Wednesday said it would offer for sale
thousands of used cars through Yahoo! Inc.'s <YHOO.O> Autos
service.
Autobytel.com shares were off 7/8 at 19-1/2 in morning
trade.
