eBay’s Skype Sells $318,000 a Day

Since eBay aquired Skype the VOIP company has produced $24.8 million in sales over 78 days, eBay announced in its earnings report.

* 87% of sales are from outside of the US

* Skype had 74.7 million total registered users at the end of Q4-05.
Communications registered users represent the cumulative total of all users who have completed the Skype registration process.

* Skype Technologies SA, which was acquired on October 14, 2005. Communications net revenues totaled $24.8 million from the acquisition date through the end of Q4-05.

Hattip to Om Malik who comments “Looks pretty good, unless you start slicing and dicing it differently. That’s about $318,000 a day in sales for Skype. Being snarky for a minute, at that rate, the sales-to-deal-price ($2.6 billion) parity will take about 8176 days. Roughly 22 years! (Of course they will grow their sales)”
