Dropbox sales rise in first post-IPO report
Dropbox Inc.’s sales topped estimates in its first quarter as a public company, lifted by growing corporate demand for paid versions of its cloud-based file-sharing software.
First-quarter profit, excluding some costs, was 8 cents a share, compared with the 4-cent average prediction of analysts polled by Bloomberg. Sales rose 28 percent to $316.3 million, Dropbox said Thursday. Analysts were projecting revenue of $309.3 million. The company also gave an upbeat forecast for second-quarter sales. Still, shares slipped about 4 percent in extended trading, after surging more than 50 percent since the company’s initial public offering in March.
Dropbox, based in San Francisco, is the leading maker of programs that let users share and synchronize digital files. To maintain revenue growth, Dropbox, which has more than 500 million registered users, must woo customers to pay for its premium products, which offer more storage and business management features. Paying users in the recent period rose 24 percent to 11.5 million.
Including a one-time expense related to restricted stock, the company’s net loss widened to $465.5 million from $33.1 million a year ago.
