Perhaps for about the same amount as the fee you might have incurred using the ride-sharing service during your most recent business trip, you, too, can secure a public share offered by Lyft.

In hopes of generating more than $2 billion, Lyft on Thursday announced the pricing of its initial public offering of its Class A common stock at a price of $72 per share. Lyft said it is offering 32,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock, plus up to an additional 4,875,000 shares that the underwriters have the option to purchase.

Lyft indicated the shares were expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on Friday under the ticker symbol “LYFT,” and the offering is expected to close on Tuesday, subject to customary closing conditions.

“The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility, create a public market for our Class A common stock and enable access to the public equity markets for us and our stockholders,” Lyft said in its IPO filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures,” the company continued. “We also intend to use a portion of the net proceeds to satisfy our anticipated tax withholding and remittance obligations related to the settlement of certain of our outstanding restricted stock units, or RSUs.

“Additionally, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses, products, services or technologies,” Lyft went on to say.

Lyft reported in the SEC filing that its revenue was $343.3 million, $1.1 billion and $2.2 billion in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 209 percent from 2016 to 2017 and 103 percent from 2017 to 2018.

Lyft indicated that it generated bookings of $1.9 billion, $4.6 billion and $8.1 billion in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, marking year-over-year growth of 141 percent from 2016 to 2017 and 76 percent from 2017 to 2018.

However, Lyft disclosed that its net loss was $682.8 million, $688.3 million and $911.3 million in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

To complete the IPO, Lyft noted J.P. Morgan Securities, Credit Suisse Securities (USA), Jefferies, UBS Securities, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., RBC Capital Markets and KeyBanc Capital Markets are acting as book-running managers.
