The IPO for HomeAway, Inc. (Nasdaq: AWAY), the world's largest online marketplace for the vacation rental industry, is open for trading. Shares are trading at $36.11 after pricing 8,000,000 shares at $27 per share, the high end of the expected $24-$27 range.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are serving as joint book-running managers for the offering.
With 79,829,804 shares expected to be outstanding after the offering, the market capitalization is $2.9 billion.
Data in March 2011 showed the company's websites attracted over 220 million website visits and averaged over 9.5 million unique monthly visitors. As of March 31, 2011, the company had more than 560,000 paid listings of vacation rentals.
In the three months ended March 31, 2011, HomeAway generated revenues of $52.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of 43.9%. In 2010, 37.9 of the company's revenue came from outside the U.S., mostly from Europe.
The company had adjusted-EBITDA of $43.2 million in 2010 and $10.2 million in the first quarter of this year, representing growth of 41.4 percent and 76.7 percent, respectively. HomeAway generated net income of $16.9 million and $1.5 million in 2010 and the first quarter, respectively, representing year-over-year increases of 120.9% and 290.9%.

The $85 billion vacation rental business is fragmented and inefficient. It is the company's goal to dominate the sector with its trusted brands and easy-to-use solutions.
