基于云的内容管理与文件共享公司Box今天正式提交了上市申请，计划公开募资2.5亿美元，成为今年最受期待的公开上市活动之一。这家公司计划在纽约证券交易所（NYSE）上市，股票代码为BOX，摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）、瑞士信贷（Credit Suisse）和摩根大通（J.P. Morgan）作为主承销商。

    我们正在研究它的上市申请，不过其中有一些关键数字引起了我们的关注：

    1.24亿美元

    这是Box截至2014年1月31日申报的收入总额。2012财年约为5,900万美元，2011年更是只有2,100万美元。

    1.69亿美元

    这是Box去年的损失。唯一的好消息是，损失的增加速度低于收入增长速度。例如，Box在2012财年的净损失为1.125亿美元，2011财年为5,000万美元。而在成本增长方面，去年，Box在研发与销售和营销方面的开支增加了一倍以上。

    174,000

    这是Box去年的账单数量，前一年为85,700。

    1.09亿美元

    这是Box手中的现金数量。它可能意味着，Box去年年底F轮融资募集的1亿美元至今仍然没有动用。

    25.5%

    这是德丰杰风险投资公司（Draper Fisher Jurvetson）持有Box股份的数量。2006年150万美元的A轮融资就是由德丰杰领投。其他大股东分别是美国风险投资公司（13%，U.S. Venture Partners）、泛大西洋资本集团（8.4%，General Atlantic）、Scale Venture Partners（7.4%）、柏尚风险投资公司（5.6%，Bessemer Venture Partners）和Meritech Capital Partners（5.1%）。（财富中文网）

    Cloud-based content management and file-sharing company Box today filed for a $250 million IPO, setting the stage for one of the year's most highly-anticipated public offerings. It plans to trade on the NYSE under ticker symbol BOX, with Morgan Stanley (MS), Credit Suisse (CS) and J.P. Morgan (JPM) listed as lead underwriters.

    We're still reading through the filing, but here are a few key numbers that jump out at us:

    $124 million

    That's the amount of revenue Box reports for the year ending January 31, 2014. It compares to around $59 million for fiscal 2012 and just $21 million for fiscal 2011.

    $169 million

    That's how much Box lost last year. The only real upside is that its losses are growing at a lower rate than are its revenues increasing. For example, Box had a net loss of $112.5 million for fiscal 2012 and around $50 million for fiscal 2011. As for cost increases, Box more than doubled both R&D and sales & marketing expenses last year.

    174,000

    That's Box's number of billings last year, compared to 85,700 the prior year.

    $109 million

    That's how much cash Box has on hand. Guess that means it hasn't yet tapped any of the $100 million in Series F funding that it raised at the end of last year.

    25.5%

    That's the percentage of Box currently owned by venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson, which led the company's $1.5 million Series A round back in 2006. Other significant shareholders include U.S. Venture Partners (13%), General Atlantic (8.4%), Scale Venture Partners (7.4%), Bessemer Venture Partners (5.6%) and Meritech Capital Partners (5.1%).
