收購WhatsApp:你不知道的那些數字
????Facebook公司斥資約190億美元收購一家成立只有四年的通訊公司。和多數人一樣,我不太能理解Facebook的這個決定。同時,我也注意到下面這些沒有見諸媒體的數字: ????195億美元 ????這是Facebook付給WhatsApp的實際金額,是按今天的收盤價每股68.06美元計算的。計算收購總價時,Facebook使用的是2月18日之前六個交易日的均價——也就是每股僅約65.27美元。Facebook的股價在二級市場上略低,但仍然超過65.27美元。 ????35% ????這是Facebook需要為這筆交易所掏現金占的比例。鑒于這筆交易主要是一個股票交易行為,因此,花這么多現金顯得十分不同尋常。 ????1 ????這是目前擁有WhatsApp股份的風投公司的數量。中頭彩的大贏家是紅杉資本(Sequoia Capital),正是它在2011年率先投了A輪。 ????6000萬美元 ????這是我們聽說的紅杉通過三輪融資(其中只有第一輪公開報道過)投入WhatsApp的總金額。其中大部分是C輪投入的5000萬美元。去年年中,WhatsApp悄然完成了這輪融資。 ????34億美元 ????這是根據大致估算,紅杉能從這筆交易中賺到的錢。我認為它在WhatsApp的持股比例在10%-20%之間,也就是在32億美元(17%)和36億美元(19%)之間。(財富中文網) ????譯者:清遠 ???? |
????Like many of you, I'm still having a hard time processing Facebook's decision to pay around $19 billion for a four year-old messaging company. In the meantime, some numbers that weren't in the press release: ????$19.5 billion ????That's the amount Facebook (FB) actually is paying for WhatsApp, based on today's closing stock price of $68.06 per share. In calculating the overall price, Facebook used the average of the six trading days preceding Feb. 18 -- which worked out to only around $65.27 per share. Facebook shares are off a bit in aftermarket trading, but still above the $65.27 mark. ????35% ????That's how much of Facebook's cash is being used for this deal. Pretty extraordinary, given that this is mostly a stock transaction. ????1 ????That's how many venture capital firms currently own shares in WhatsApp. The lottery winner here is Sequoia Capital, which led the company's Series A round back in early 2011. ????$60 million ????That's how much we hear that Sequoia invested overall into WhatsApp, over three rounds of financing (only the first of which was ever publicly reported). The bulk of that was part of a $50 million Series C infusion that WhatsApp quietly closed in the middle of last year. ????$3.4 billion ????That's a ballpark figure for how much Sequoia will make on the deal. My understanding is that it holds a WhatsApp ownership percentage in the "high teens" -- placing it between $3.2 billion (17%) and $3.6 billion (19%). |
