bq. And the company is so confident of its growth potential that CFO John Rego believes it will reach profitability in 2004 and end that year with 250,000 customers. A back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that Rego may well be on the right track. Even if all 71,000 current customers were on the company’s lowest monthly tariff of $24.99, that would still bring in $21.3 million in annual revenues, though some of this would be retained by its channel partners. And with a relatively low headcount, employee costs — if you use an average of $100,000 per head — would stand at about $20 million a year. If Vonage can expand its user base as fast as it believes it can, the CFO’s target of profitability next year looks to be achievable.
