Forward Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements notice
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Reddit's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "going to," "could," "intends," "target," "projects," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Reddit's expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Reddit’s future financial and operating performance and GAAP and non-GAAP guidance. Reddit's expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those more fully described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents that Reddit files with the SEC from time to time, including Reddit’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which is being filed with the SEC at or around the date hereof. The forward-looking statements in this release are based on information available to Reddit as of the date hereof, and Reddit undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
A Note About Metrics
We define a daily active unique (“DAUq”) as a user whom we can identify with a unique identifier who has visited a page on the Reddit website, www.reddit.com, or opened a Reddit application at least once during a 24-hour period. Average DAUq for a particular period is calculated by adding the number of DAUq on each day of that period and dividing that sum by the number of days in that period.
We define a weekly active unique (“WAUq”) as a user whom we can identify with a unique identifier who has visited a page on the Reddit website, www.reddit.com, or opened a Reddit application at least once during a trailing seven-day period. Average quarterly WAUq for a particular period is calculated by adding the number of WAUq on each day of that period and dividing that sum by the number of days in that period.
We define average revenue per unique (“ARPU”) as quarterly revenue in a given geography divided by the average DAUq in that geography. For the purposes of calculating ARPU, advertising revenue in a given geography is based on the geographic location in which advertising impressions are delivered, as this approximates revenue based on user activity, while other revenue in a given geography is based on the billing address of the customer.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow margin. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate reviews of our operational performance and as a basis for strategic planning. By excluding certain items that are non-recurring or not reflective of the performance of our normal course of business, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others because they allow investors to supplement their understanding of our financial trends and evaluate our ongoing and future performance in the same manner as management. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures as they reflect the exercise of judgment by our management about which expenses are included or excluded in determining these non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
A reconciliation is provided below for each historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reddit encourages investors to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Reddit’s business. We have not provided a reconciliation to the forward-looking GAAP equivalent measures for our non-GAAP guidance due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items. Therefore, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance measures to their corresponding GAAP guidance measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest (income) expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, other (income) expense, net, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash items impacting net income (loss) that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing business performance. Other (income) expense, net consists primarily of realized gains and losses on sales of marketable securities, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and other income and expense that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We consider the exclusion of certain non-recurring or non-cash items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to provide a useful measure for investors and others to evaluate our operating results in the same manner as management.
Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow margin is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by revenue. We believe that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities.

Dear fellow shareholders, Q3 was a strong quarter for Reddit, with differentiated results and solid execution across product, growth, and revenue. We ended the quarter with 116 million DAUq and 444 million WAUq, both growing around 20% year-over-year. We’re especially encouraged by the mix of growth, with organic product-led improvements and successful marketing both playing a role.
This formula is working, and it’s one we’re focused on replicating across markets. Revenue came in at $585 million, up 68% year-over-year and our financial model is scaling very well. We continue to be GAAP profitable, with net income of $163 million and a net margin of 28% - an improvement of $133 million from last year.
This quarter, we achieved a targeted Adjusted EBITDA margin of 40%, which was a profitability goal we set at our IPO just last year. Today, Reddit is the #3 most visited site in the U.S. (per Semrush, October 2025). That puts us in rare company - YouTube is #2 and Amazon is #4 - and reflects how Reddit is where people start, not just where they end up.
People come here to find trusted perspectives, to participate in communities that share their interests - no matter how niche or mainstream - and increasingly, to engage directly with brands, institutions, and publishers. In September, we launched new Reddit Pro tools tailored for publishers. Early adopters like The Associated Press can now sync their feeds, automatically import articles, track how their stories are shared, and use AI-powered tools to find the right communities.
Our consumer product strategy continues to focus on making Reddit easier to use and more rewarding from day one, so casual users become daily users. They’re already coming to Reddit - now it’s on us to make the experience worth coming back for by being more relevant and intuitive. To that end, we’re making real progress across the three main focus areas we shared last quarter: core product, search, and globalization.
Let’s start with the core product: We’re redesigning the Reddit experience with a more modern, search-forward interface and streamlining onboarding so it’s easier for new users to find what they're looking for with a dynamic, personalized home feed. We’re also helping more people contribute to their favorite communities by using AI to interpret subreddit rules and surface post insights. On the moderation side, we’re investing in tools that help mods grow and strengthen their communities.
These tools are now live in over 3,000 communities, which are seeing 30% more active moderators on average. Moderators aren’t just enforcing rules - they’re shaping culture, building communities, and helping Reddit thrive. Our job is to give them the tools to do it more efficiently. 3 Q3 2025
Next, search: Search is one of our biggest opportunities because Reddit conversations are uniquely authentic, contextual, and helpful. This is why we’re investing in making Reddit a true search destination. In Q3, over 75 million people searched on Reddit weekly, and that number continues to rise.
Reddit Answers provides users with curated, community-powered insights that are often more helpful than traditional web results. We’ve started integrating Reddit Answers into core search, increasing its visibility across conversations, and rolling out to non-English languages. Our aim is to have a single, great search experience on Reddit.
And third, internationalization: Our international growth continues to accelerate. Machine translation is available in 30 languages, and it’s a major driver of top-of-funnel user growth outside the U.S. We’ve built a local content framework to identify top interests in each country, which we use to guide partnerships, content, and marketing.
This approach worked well in India, and we’re now applying it in Australia, Brazil, Germany, and France. We’re focused on finishing the year strong and putting our strategy for 2026 in motion. Looking ahead, our biggest priorities are: Growing app users by improving the experience and therefore retention.
Broadening the types of users and communities that call Reddit home, both in the U.S. and globally. Increasing top-of-funnel growth by diversifying the sources of traffic, including organic, paid, and publisher- driven. And, of course, scaling ads and monetization formats for our users and partners.
Reddit is in a unique position. We’re not trying to be the next anything - we’re focused on being the best version of ourselves and what the internet needs most: a place where people can connect on almost any topic and find genuinely useful information. Because no matter what you’re going through, someone on Reddit has already been there, done that - and shared the story.
Thanks for being part of this journey. Steve Huffman Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer 4 Q3 2025
Starting 20 years ago as a web page of 25 links, Reddit has grown into a distinct network of communities unlike anywhere else online. Today, we believe it is the most human place on the internet, with over 440 million people visiting weekly to share, learn, and connect around their interests and passions. As the internet evolves, Reddit communities have continued to provide an essential space for people to find and engage in authentic, high-quality discussions, and for publishers, brands, and companies to connect with their audiences.
We’re making it easier to contribute and discover discussions on Reddit, enriching our community ecosystem and building on the over 23 billion posts and comments that people come for every day. We’re achieving this by improving our search and contribution tools for users and building Reddit- unique products that publishers, brands, and organizations can use to share stories, reach audiences, and engage organically within Reddit communities.

- Letter to Shareholders A. Semrush, October 2025. We believe that searching directly on Reddit reveals a breadth of perspectives and knowledge not accessible anywhere else. In Q3’25, over 75 million WAUq searched on Reddit, and we’re integrating Reddit Answers into the core search experience and expanding its accessibility across conversations. Reddit Answers daily query volume is up over 20% since last quarter. We’re expanding Reddit Answers in non-English languages and focusing on product differentiators to make Reddit search distinctive. Reddit is the #3 most visited website in the U.S. , and one of the most visited sites in the world.

Forward Looking Statements This letter contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Reddit's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "going to," "could," "intends," "target," "projects," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Reddit's expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements in this letter include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Reddit’s priorities, future financial and operating performance, including evolution of machine translation, international growth strategies to increase content consumption and improve local user experience, consumer product strategy with respect to growth and engagement, GAAP and non- GAAP guidance, strategies, and expectations of growth. Reddit's expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those more fully described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents that Reddit files with the SEC from time to time, including Reddit’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which 12 Q3 2025
is being filed with the SEC at or around the date hereof. The forward-looking statements in this letter are based on information available to Reddit as of the date hereof, and Reddit undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. A Note About Metrics We define a daily active unique (“DAUq”) as a user whom we can identify with a unique identifier who has visited a page on the Reddit website, www.reddit.com, or opened a Reddit application at least once during a 24-hour period.
Average DAUq for a particular period is calculated by adding the number of DAUq on each day of that period and dividing that sum by the number of days in that period. We define a weekly active unique (“WAUq”) as a user whom we can identify with a unique identifier who has visited a page on the Reddit website, www.reddit.com, or opened a Reddit application at least once during a trailing seven-day period. Average quarterly WAUq for a particular period is calculated by adding the number of WAUq on each day of that period and dividing that sum by the number of days in that period.
We define average revenue per unique (“ARPU”) as quarterly revenue in a given geography divided by the average DAUq in that geography. For the purposes of calculating ARPU, advertising revenue in a given geography is based on the geographic location in which advertising impressions are delivered, as this approximates revenue based on user activity, while other revenue in a given geography is based on the billing address of the customer. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, to evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow margin, total adjusted costs and expenses, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate reviews of our operational performance and as a basis for strategic planning.
By excluding certain items that are non- recurring or not reflective of the performance of our normal course of business, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others because they allow investors to supplement their understanding of our financial trends and evaluate our ongoing and future performance in the same manner as management. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures as they reflect the exercise of judgment by our management about which expenses are included or excluded in determining these non-GAAP measures.
These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
A reconciliation is provided below for each historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reddit encourages investors to 13 Q3 2025
review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Reddit’s business.
We have not provided a reconciliation to the forward- looking GAAP equivalent measures for our non-GAAP guidance due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items. Therefore, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance measures to their corresponding GAAP guidance measures is not available without unreasonable effort. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding interest (income) expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and related taxes, other (income) expense, net, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash items impacting net income (loss) that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing business performance.
Other (income) expense, net consists primarily of realized gains and losses on sales of marketable securities, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and other income and expense that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Incremental Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in revenue over the same period.
We consider the exclusion of certain non-recurring or non- cash items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to provide a useful measure for investors and others to evaluate our operating results in the same manner as management. Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow margin is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by revenue.
We believe that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities.
Total adjusted costs and expenses represents cost of revenue and operating expenses excluding stock- based compensation and related taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash items impacting cost of revenue and operating expenses that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing business performance. Non-GAAP operating expenses represents operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation and related taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash items impacting operating expenses that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing business performance. Non-GAAP research and development expense, non- GAAP sales and marketing expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense represent their respective operating expense line items excluding stock-based compensation and related taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-recurring or non-cash items.
We consider adjusted costs and expenses, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense to be useful measures as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of our operational performance and could mask underlying trends in our business.
