GoDaddy amended its S1 last night to include an expected price range for its IPO of $17-$19 per share. At the mid-point of this range, the equity value comes in just above $2.7bn and, on a fully diluted basis, in excess of $3.2bn. The traditional Enterprise Value calculation comes it at more than 16x EBITDA, approximately 17.5x EBITDA if you include the dilutive effects of employee stock options (please see this post for how we calculate Enterprise Value). We'll provide more details when the offering gets priced and begins trading.

Here is a link to some of our past valuation summaries.
