(Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter) A new holding company will be created following the offering which will combine the ownership from public investors, private investors such as Silver Lake Partners and Andreessen Horowitz, and employees.Registration Statement on Form S-1 Table of ContentsĪs filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2010 The company is based in Luxemborg and is offering American depository shares. We believe this represents a meaningful opportunity to increase our revenue from alternative monetization models, including advertising, gaming and virtual gifts. Our users made over 152 billion minutes of Skype-to-Skype calls in the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. According to the filing, part of Skype’s strategy will be to:ĭevelop new monetization models, including advertising. Skype also plans on adding advertising revenues and enterprise products (37 percent of users surveyed say they use Skype for business purposes). Getting more people to buy Skype-Out minutes will obviously not be sufficient. Skype’s strategy is to keep growing its overall number of users and convert more of them to paying customers. Those users, however, pay an average of $96 a year. Skype users also sent 84 million SMS text messages through Skype during the period.Īs of June 30, Skype was averaging 124 million users a month, with only 8.1 million of those paying users (out of a total of 560 million registered users).

These numbers reflect pro forma adjustments to Skype’s historical financial statements. The company currently has $85 million in cash.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2010 was $115.7 million, up 54 percent from a year ago. On the IPO road show, Skype will no doubt point to its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes and depreciation) numbers, which conveniently strip out things like goodwill, stock-based compensation and litigation expenses. However, its gross margins are 51 percent, and have been expanding steadily as the company benefits from the scale of is operations and is able to negotiate lower telephone termination fees around the world. Its income from operations was only $1.4 million for the six months. That is only a 3 percent net margin, and this isn’t exactly a new business. But a big portion of that was from interest income. The maximum proposed offering amount is listed as $100 million, but that is just a placeholder amount.Īccording to the filing, Skype’s revenues for the first six months of 2010 were $406 million, with a net income of only $13 million. Preparing for an eventual public offering, Skype has now filed an IPO registration statement with the SEC.
