(Reuters) - Walmart-backed digital marketing company Ibotta has filed to go public in the United States, it said in a filing on Friday.

The Denver-based company, which counts PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP), Nestle and Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) among its more than 850 clients, did not disclose the size of the offering.

Its revenue grew 52% year-on-year to $320 million in 2023 while net income margin grew 12%, the filing showed.

Founded by Bryan Leach in 2011, the company helps brands deliver digital promotions and offers cash-back rewards to consumers on their everyday purchases.

Ibotta is moving forward with its listing plans at a time when initial public offerings in the United States are on the rebound thanks to easing concerns over elevated borrowing costs.

Shares of Reddit Inc and Astera Labs sky-rocketed in their debuts this week, further encouraging companies and investors to return to IPOs after a nearly two-year lull.
