(Reuters) – Home rental company Airbnb has projected its revenue can fall about 54% to some $2.2 billion this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Information reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The projection, made in a scenario shown to investors, is preliminary as the length of the pandemic’s impact on the travel industry cannot be predicted, according to the report.
Airbnb said earlier this week it had raised $1 billion from private equity firms Silver Lake and Sixth Street Partners.
The investment’s terms, however, implied reduced valuation of the company, Reuters had reported.
