The IPO That Almost Wasn t
The Airbnb IPO should cap an incredible turnaround from an existential crisis just months ago.
The COVID-19 pandemic hit much of the American economy, but perhaps no industry was hit as hard as travel. Revenues plunged across the board, from airlines and booking companies to restaurants and hotels.
Airbnb was no exception. Revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2020, sank by 32%, with most of the damage coming during the first and second quarters as site activity quickly dried up.
The company was forced to cut costs wherever it could. Airbnb laid off 25% of its global workforce, reduced executive salaries and slashed its sales and marketing budget, which dropped by 54% during 2020 s first nine months.
