Initial Public Offering (IPO)

What is an IPO?

An initial public offering (IPO) refers to the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance. An IPO allows a company to raise capital from public investors. The transition from a private to a public company can be an important time for private investors to fully realize gains from their investment as it typically includes a share premium for current private investors. Meanwhile, it also allows public investors to participate in the offering.

  • An initial public offering (IPO) refers to the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance.
  • Companies must meet requirements by exchanges and the Securities and Exchange Commission to hold an IPO.
  • IPOs provide companies with an opportunity to obtain capital by offering shares through the primary market.
  • Companies hire investment banks to market, gauge demand, set the IPO price and date, and more.
  • An IPO can be seen as an exit strategy for the company’s founders and early investors, realizing the full profit from their private inves

How an Initial Public Offering (IPO) Works

Before an IPO, a company is considered private. As a pre-IPO private company, the business has grown with a relatively small number of shareholders including early investors like the founders, family, and friends along with professional investors such as venture capitalists or angel investors.

An IPO is a big step for a company as it provides the company with access to raising a lot of money. This gives the company a greater ability to grow and expand. The increased transparency and share listing credibility can also be a factor in helping it obtain better terms when seeking borrowed funds as well.

When a company reaches a stage in its growth process where it believes it is mature enough for the rigors of Securities and Exchange Commission regulations along with the benefits and responsibilities to public shareholders, it will begin to advertise its interest in going public.

Typically, this stage of growth will occur when a company has reached a private valuation of approximately $1 billion, also known as unicorn status. However, private companies at various valuations with strong fundamentals and proven profitability potential can also qualify for an IPO, depending on the market competition and their ability to meet listing requirements.

IPO shares of a company are priced through underwriting due diligence. When a company goes public, the previously owned private share ownership converts to public ownership, and the existing private shareholders’ shares become worth the public trading price. Share underwriting can also include special provisions for private to public share ownership.

Meanwhile, the public market opens up a huge opportunity for millions of investors to buy shares in the company and contribute capital to a company’s shareholders’ equity. The public consists of any individual or institutional investor who is interested in investing in the company.

Overall, the number of shares the company sells and the price for which shares sell are the generating factors for the company’s new shareholders’ equity value. Shareholders’ equity still represents shares owned by investors when it is both private and public, but with an IPO, the shareholders’ equity increases significantly with cash from the primary issuance.

The IPO Process

An IPO comprehensively consists of two parts. The first is the pre-marketing phase of the offering, while the second is the initial public offering itself. When a company is interested in an IPO, it will advertise to underwriters by soliciting private bids or it can also make a public statement to generate interest.

The underwriters lead the IPO process and are chosen by the company. A company may choose one or several underwriters to manage different parts of the IPO process collaboratively. The underwriters are involved in every aspect of the IPO due diligence, document preparation, filing, marketing, and issuance.

Steps to an IPO

  • Underwriters present proposals and valuations discussing their services, the best type of security to issue, offering price, amount of shares, and estimated time frame for the market offering.
  • The company chooses its underwriters and formally agrees to underwrite terms through an underwriting agreement.
  • IPO teams are formed comprising underwriters, lawyers, certified public accountants (CPAs), and Securities and Exchange Commission experts.
  • Information regarding the company is compiled for required IPO documentation. Registration Statement is the primary IPO filing document. It has two parts – the prospectus and the privately held filing information.
  • Marketing & Updates. Marketing materials are created for pre-marketing of the new stock issuance. Underwriters and executives market the share issuance to estimate demand and establish a final offering price. Underwriters can make revisions to their financial analysis throughout the marketing process. This can include changing the IPO price or issuance date as they see fit. Companies take the necessary steps to meet specific public share offering requirements. Companies must adhere to both exchange listing requirements and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for public companies.
  • Board & Processes. Form a board of directors and ensure processes for reporting auditable financial and accounting information every quarter.
  • Shares Issued. The company issues its shares on an IPO date. Capital from the primary issuance to shareholders is received as cash and recorded as stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet. Subsequently, the balance sheet share value becomes dependent on the company’s stockholders’ equity per share valuation comprehensively.
  • Post IPO. Some post-IPO provisions may be instituted. Underwriters may have a specified time frame to buy an additional amount of shares after the initial public offering (IPO) date. Meanwhile, certain investors may be subject to quiet periods.

Advantages of IPO

Seeing the terms and mechanism of the IPO which is quite complicated, of course only certain companies can conduct an IPO. So will companies that have IPOs benefit? Here are the advantages of IPOs that you need to know.

  1. One of the Fast and Precise Ways for Fundraising

One of the biggest advantages for a business is that it can raise funds from the public (investors). The results that can be obtained from the stock offering provide an injection of funds for companies that go public.

This is clearly a huge advantage, considering there are many things companies can execute when their cash increases due to getting new capital. This fund is a very meaningful stimulant for companies that are developing or old companies that want to enter the stock exchange and expand.

They can use it for various purposes, ranging from financing research and development, adding resources, procuring facilities, reducing debt, funding capital strategies, upgrading technology, or for other financing. All of these things have an impact on the company’s growth.

  1. Make it easier for investors and founders to sell their shares

Most companies have investors who have contributed a lot of time, money and other resources in hopes of getting a return on the growth of the company. Unfortunately, these founders and investors often pay little attention to the returns they get.

The transition point to going public is a suitable moment for stakeholders or investors to sell some or all of their shares. Even investors have the opportunity to pocket larger profits when selling their shares at the IPO moment.

  1. Increase Exposure and Credibility

If a company wants to continue to grow and develop, then they certainly need increased exposure to potential customers or investors. The better known, the better the impact for the company.

So when the company is listed on the stock exchange, the company will get exposure because its name is displayed on the stock exchange, thereby potentially encouraging the company’s existence and credibility in the eyes of investors and also the public.

  1. Reducing Overall Cost of Capital

Not infrequently many companies have to pay higher interest rates when receiving loans from banks or handing over ownership to attract funds from investors. At the time of the IPO, the company could significantly overcome this by reducing the overall cost of capital.
