Netgear was created in January 1996 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bay Networks with the goal of focusing on networking products for small
businesses and homes. Gear-maker Nortel Networks snapped
the firm up in August 1998, along with its parent, before selling part of
its ownership interest in Netgear to third parties in September 2000.
In
February 2002, it parted with the rest of its ownership interest, granting
it to Netgear in exchange for cash, non-cash consideration and a $20
million promissory note.
Netgear said it will use the funds raised through the IPO to repay the
outstanding promissory note.
In its prospectus, Netgear said it achieved net revenue growth each year
since its inception. It took in $237.3 million in 2002, and had turned a profit of
$8.1 million. The prior year, it had lost $19.5 million.
The company said 63 percent of its sales in 2002 were in the U.S., with the remaining 37 percent coming from international sales.
The company uses a number of sales channels. On the retail side, it uses
Best Buy, CompUSA and Staples in North America, as well as outfits like PC
World in the U.K. and MediaMarkt in Germany.
Its products also have an
online presence through retailers like Amazon.com and Buy.com. Netgear said
it also uses direct market resellers both domestically and internationally,
including CDW, MicroWarehouse and thousands of value added resellers
(VARs).
It has also been making inroads with broadband service providers
like Time Warner Cable and Telewest UK, both of which sell its products.
