Godaddy域名主机服务商的CEO布莱克·欧文(Blake Irving)周四表示,Godaddy司最早可能于明年IPO(首次公开招股),今年的营收有望达到14.3亿美元,并有望在今后两三年达到50亿美元。
Godaddy上市计划
随着越来越多的公司使用Godaddy的网站托管服务,以及记账和支付等其他网络服务,该公司的营收实现了大幅增长。最近一段时间,已经有多家网络科技公司的IPO获得了成功,包括人力资源软件制造商Workday、数据虚拟化公司Tableau Software和IT管理软件提供商ServiceNow等。而Godaddy的IPO也有望从中获益。
市场研究公司IPOPlaybook.com创始人汤姆·陶立(Tom Taulli)说:“需求将十分强大。Godaddy的品牌很知名,在业内处于领先地位,而云计算企业的IPO也都受到市场热捧。”
陶立表示,按照欧文的营收增长预期,Godaddy的IPO估值可能超过60亿美元。分析师预计,Workday本财年的营收将达到4.394亿美元,其目前的市值为117亿美元。
“我们目前的增长对上市十分有利。”欧文说,“我们今天就可以上市,但我希望证明,我们仍在不断落实战略。”
撤销IPO
欧文拒绝透露Godaddy可能的IPO融资额,以及该公司是否已经聘请了投行。Godaddy曾于2006年申请IPO,但几个月后又以市场环境不利为由撤消了这一计划,其列举的因素包括中东局势动荡、油价飙升、科技股再遭打压等。
据知情人士透露,私募股权投资公司KKR、银湖资本和Technology Crossover Ventures于2011年7月收购了Godaddy的股票,对该公司的估值为22.5亿美元。Godaddy那一年的营收预期为11亿美元。
虽然Godaddy主要服务于小企业,但由于在1月的“超级碗”橄榄球赛中投放了广告,为该品牌赢得了很高的知名度。欧文在今年2月接受媒体采访时表示,“超级碗”广告为该公司赢得的关注可以一直持续到年中。
全球扩张
欧文7个月前加盟Godaddy,在此之前,他曾经担任雅虎(28.27,0.43,1.54%)首席产品官。他目前正在重点向美国以外拓展业务,国际市场营收的占比已经达到80%。除此之外,该公司还在扩充高管和工程师团队。
Godaddy今明两年将挺进西班牙、葡萄牙、法国、德国和其他国家。他还计划将该公司网站支持的语言数量增加到几十种。
