Medallia’s SEC filing indicates $313.6 million in revenue for the year ending January 31 2019, but with $82.2 million in losses. Other key takes from its IPO filing include:

Medallia’s expected IPO would add to a significant number of public offerings that have taken place this year. Companies like Lyft, Uber, Pinterest, CrowdStrike, Fastly, Slack, Zoom, Jumia, PagerDuty and more have gone public this year. Another company, Peloton, recently just — confidentially — filed for an IPO.
