Atlassian was already profitable weren’t they?

There’s a disclaimer these unicorns put in their S1s - “we are not profitable and may never be” - Atlassian probably didn’t have to do that.

That should count for something right?




That disclaimer is as old as dirt. I saw a company that sent public in 1960 had the same. Won't be surprised if Atlassian had the same.


Atlassian was profitable for well over a decade before the IPO.


I'm getting downvoted, but here it is directly from This is from Atlassian s1 filing, this is standard disclaimer.

"We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate or maintain profitability in the future."

Atlassian is profitable and has been from the beginning. It was bootstrapped.
