Slack IPO - A First Look

Thanks youngc,

You’re right, he’s trying to use Q/Q, but to do that, he needs to remove the “1” in the hundreds field, as it’s not 120% growth, it’s 20% growth.

Year	Apr	Jul	Oct	Jan	Total		Growth			
FY2018	42,719	51,320	58,046	68,459	220,544			120%	113%	118%
FY2019	80,919	92,018	105,648	121,967	400,552		118%	114%	115%	115%

Should be the following for Q/Q growth:

Year	Apr	Jul	Oct	Jan	Total		Growth			
FY2018	42,719	51,320	58,046	68,459	220,544			 20%	 13%	 18%
FY2019	80,919	92,018	105,648	121,967	400,552		 18%	 14%	 15%	 15%

And Y/Y growth would look like:

Year	Apr	Jul	Oct	Jan	Total		Growth			
FY2018	42,719	51,320	58,046	68,459	220,544					
FY2019	80,919	92,018	105,648	121,967	400,552		 89%	 79%	 82%	 78%

Still impressive…but will depend on what value it IPOs at if it is impressive enough.
