AppDynamics posts long-awaited IPO filing

Related image

AppDynamics has revealed its filing for a U.S. IPO. The IT company, which helps businesses like Salesforce and IBM with applications management, is targeting a $100 million offering.
Despite a competitive landscape, which includes New Relic and Dynatrace, AppDynamics has shown strong revenue growth over the past year. For the nine months ending in October, revenue came in $158.4 million, compared to $102.8 million in same period during the year prior, driven by strong growth in subscriptions.

Losses widened slightly, with the company losing $95.1 million through October versus $92.4 million in the same period the year before. This means that last year, the losses were almost as high as AppDynamics’ revenue.

As the company warned in its risk factors, the losses are expected to continue.  “We expect our operating expenses to increase over the next several years as we continue to expend substantial financial resources on, among other things: research and development, including the development of new applications and application enhancements; sales and marketing, including increasing our product and brand awareness; customer support and professional services; upgrades to our technology infrastructure, such as improvements to our SaaS architecture; and hiring of additional employees. “
AppDynamics has raised over $300 million in funding over the past 8 years and its largest shareholders at the time of the offering are Greylock Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners, which each own 20.8% of the company. AppDynamics’ last known private market valuation stood at $1.9 billion.
The company has been rumored to go public for several years now. AppDynamics’ management had always been vocal about their long-term plans, but there was a change in leadership last year and several market-related delays.
Revealing the filing right now suggests that the company is hoping to finally go public in late January or early February.
The company will be listing on the NASDAQ under the ticker, “APPD.” Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are co-managing the offering.

The Pros and Cons Of COVID-19 Contact Tracing Apps

                Written by                Jack -  Guest author Contact tracing apps seem to be the new fad. Their popularity is also one that comes on the back of a series of unfortunate events. They seem to hold another approach to fighting the menace of a disease that has claimed no less than 400,000 lives worldwide. The widespread race to get these apps working can also be attributed to the coming together of two big names in tech, Apple and Google, to make the frameworks for such apps happen. Like every other thing, though, how does the scales tip in favor of, or against, these apps? The Case for Contact Tracing Apps In April alone, the US people lost more jobs than the economy had been able to gain in about a combined decade. More unemployment claims are filed daily, while companies do not take their staff out of furlough anytime soon. Businesses are folding up daily, too, especially those still p...
