喬巴尼自稱是一家“反傳統(tǒng)的消費品公司”。
喬巴尼(Chobani) 提交了首次公開募股(IPO)申請,文件顯示,隨著該公司同名品牌酸奶的銷售額持續(xù)上升,又增加了燕麥牛奶等新產(chǎn)品,公司業(yè)績穩(wěn)步增長。
該公司周三提交給美國證券交易委員會的文件顯示,這家成立了16年的公司將IPO規(guī)模定為1億美元。這是一個占位符,等設(shè)定股票出售的條款時,還會再變。
喬巴尼自稱是一家“反傳統(tǒng)的消費品公司”,產(chǎn)品現(xiàn)在北美約95,000個零售網(wǎng)點銷售,占其銷售額的91%。該公司在澳大利亞也有生產(chǎn)線。
該公司總部位于紐約新柏林,主要生產(chǎn)希臘酸奶、燕麥牛奶和其他產(chǎn)品,搭上了新冠肺炎疫情期間消費者需求增長的東風——因為疫情期間餐館的封鎖和限制措施導致消費者不得不轉(zhuǎn)向自家冰箱。
在截至9月26日的九個月里,公司凈銷售額為12億美元,凈虧損小幅增加至2400萬美元。周三的備案文件顯示,去年同期該公司銷售額為10.6億美元,虧損2100萬美元。
“我們?nèi)匀皇且患夷贻p、充滿活力的創(chuàng)業(yè)公司,”創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官哈姆迪?烏魯卡亞在文件中包含的一封信中寫道。
烏魯卡亞1994年從土耳其來到美國,2005年創(chuàng)立了喬巴尼。他還在信中詳細描述了這家公司最初的歲月——從他一時興起買下一家廢棄的酸奶工廠,到研究配方那段時間自己怎么在工廠打地鋪。
這一申請與Sweetgreen Inc.預計的IPO定價在同一天提交。這家沙拉連鎖店預計周四上市,希望通過股票發(fā)行籌集至多3.125億美元的資金。
今年已有11家食品和飲料公司在紐約上市。根據(jù)彭博社收集的數(shù)據(jù),這是自1997年以來的最多的一年。在勞動力短缺、價格上漲和行業(yè)行情不穩(wěn)的情況下,幾乎所有公司的股價都低于發(fā)行價,說明上市估值時過于樂觀。
待喬巴尼披露其投資者和包括烏魯卡亞在內(nèi)的員工所持股份的細節(jié)時,其IPO的預期估值會更明確。據(jù)《華爾街日報》(Wall Street Journal) 2月報道,該公司的估值可能高達100億美元。
至于投資者的潛在風險,喬巴尼在IPO文件中詳細介紹了與乳制品相關(guān)的供應鏈和責任風險,以及與疫情相關(guān)的勞動力短缺和成本上升。
喬巴尼還提醒投資者,該公司依賴于烏魯卡亞的獨特專業(yè)知識,如果烏魯卡亞的聲譽受損,它可能會遭受損失。文件顯示,烏魯卡亞在美國咖啡公司La Colombe Torrefaction LLC和菲達奶酪生產(chǎn)商Euphrates Inc.的持股可能會與喬巴尼的利益發(fā)生沖突。
此次IPO由高盛集團(Goldman Sachs Group Inc.)和美國銀行(Bank of America Corp.)牽頭。喬巴尼計劃在納斯達克全球精選市場(Nasdaq Global Select Market)上市,股票代碼為CHO。(財富中文網(wǎng))

Chobani filed for an initial public offering, disclosing steady growth as it continues to build on sales of its namesake yogurt brand and add newer products such as oat milk.
The 16-year old company listed the size of the offering as $100 million, according to a filing Wednesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That’s a placeholder that will change when it sets terms for the share sale.
Calling itself an “anti-traditional consumer packaged goods company,” Chobani said its products are now sold at about 95,000 retail locations in North America, which accounts for 91% of its sales. The company also makes products in Australia.
The New Berlin, New York-based maker of Greek yogurt, oat milk and other products has been riding a wave of demand that grew during the coronavirus pandemic, with restaurant lockdowns and restrictions forcing consumers to turn to their own refrigerators.
Its net loss increased slightly to $24 million on net sales of $1.2 billion for the nine months ended Sept. 26. That compares with a loss of $21 million on $1.06 billion in sales during the same period a year earlier, Wednesday’s filing shows.
“We are still a young, energetic, entrepreneurial company,” founder and Chief Executive Officer Hamdi Ulukaya wrote in a letter included in the filing.
Ulukaya, who came to the U.S. from Turkey in 1994 and founded Chobani in 2005, also detailed the origins of the company -- from his buying an abandoned yogurt factory on a whim, to sleeping on the facility floor while developing recipes.
The filing comes on the same day as the expected pricing of Sweetgreen Inc.’s IPO. The salad chain is seeking to raise as much as $312.5 million in its share sale, followed by a trading debut Thursday.
Eleven food and beverage IPOs have already listed this year in New York. That’s the most since 1997, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Nearly all of these firms are trading below their offering price after listing at valuations that proved optimistic amid labor shortages, rising prices and a rocky earnings season for the sector.
Chobani’s expected valuation in the IPO will become more clear when it discloses details of the stakes held by its investors and employees, including Ulukaya. The company could be worth as much as $10 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported in February.
Among potential risk factors for prospective investors in the the IPO, Chobani detailed supply chain and liability risks associated with dairy products, as well as labor shortages and higher costs associated with the pandemic.
Chobani also cautioned investors that it’s dependent on the unique expertise of Ulukaya, and could suffer if his reputation is damaged. Ululkaya’s holdings in La Colombe Torrefaction LLC, a U.S. based coffee company, and feta cheese maker Euphrates Inc. might also conflict with Chobani’s interests, according to the filing.
The offering is being led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of America Corp. Chobani plans to list its shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol CHO.
