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 June 30, 2026, 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 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 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,
Q2 reinforced something we believe deeply: as the internet becomes more automated, the value of authentic human conversation continues to rise. We saw that reflected in both our commercial success and early progress of our product roadmap. We delivered our eighth consecutive quarter of over 60% revenue growth, hit an adjusted EBITDA margin of 43%, and crossed a major milestone we’ve been chasing: $1 million in revenue per employee. These results speak to the strength of Reddit’s monetization engine and the differentiated value we provide advertisers. I heard that clearly at Cannes last month, where we met with many of our customers. Across the board, brands told me they believe in Reddit’s distinct ability to connect them with highly engaged, highly intentional audiences. More than that, they are rooting for us to win.
Reddit works differently from other platforms, and that’s important to advertisers and people alike. As the internet becomes flooded with synthetic content, people are craving real human perspective. We are the antidote to an automated web. AI compresses the internet into summaries. Reddit delivers the opposite: deep discussions, passionate debates, and lived experiences. People don’t want a summary of Reddit; they want Reddit. As AI makes information more abundant, the challenge is no longer finding content - it's finding context, personal opinion, and first-hand accounts. Everything online feels flat, polished, generated, or sponsored, so consumers are overwhelmed and increasingly skeptical. We’ve never had more information, but we’ve never trusted it less. That’s why decision-making is shifting from single authorities to groups of real people who have nothing to gain from you purchasing a product. And it’s not just purchase decisions - it’s health, careers, travel, everything.
Our top priority remains growing our daily active user base by improving the experience for new users so they come back more frequently. Everyone belongs on Reddit because Reddit has content for everyone. We already have a massive base of weekly users, and our focus is on converting them into dailies. Our product work is improving engagement in key areas. Updated feed models are increasing contribution rates and session frequency, and we’re successfully driving more web users to our app, where they are far more engaged. We’ve made it easier to post on Reddit and find the right community to post in. We’ve also broadened the product in ways that support growth and engagement - video in comments helps expand our upper funnel, and interactive games on our Developer Platform drive repeat usage and daily habit. On a weekly basis, Reddit now reaches over half a billion people, including more than 130 million daily. In Q2, we improved our user mix and brought more high- quality users to Reddit across the app and site. And new app user retention, an area we’ve discussed frequently, was up 50% year-over-year on a relative basis this quarter - now, this is coming from a small base, and we have a lot of work ahead of us, but it’s an important sign that we’re moving in the right direction.
These product efforts, paired with consumer marketing, helped drive daily active users and offset headwinds in users coming from search. Search referrals were choppy in the quarter, and traffic was more volatile later in the quarter, but the bigger picture is unchanged: the commercial business is strong, our revenue growth is differentiated, and we have much to be encouraged by on the product side.
Steve Huffman Co-Founder & CEO
While our visibility in referral traffic remains low, we’re not building for drive-by traffic. We’re building a daily destination. Our product work is what will get us to our goal of 1 billion daily users globally and 100 million in the U.S. That work takes time to gain traction, but is what will deepen engagement, strengthen our monetization flywheel, and drive more durable growth. The internet is divided between machines and humans. There is room for both, but we know who we're building for. People will always want to hear from other people: real opinions, expertise, stories, and communities where they can ask, learn, argue, and belong. Reddit has continued to grow through every major change on the internet because the underlying need has not changed. Human connection is existential, and Reddit is the most human place on the internet. That’s why I’m so confident in where we’re going. Thank you, as always, for being along for the ride with us.

Forward Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements notice
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, plans with respect to the share repurchase program, future financial and operating performance, including consumer product strategy with respect to growth and engagement, including through video, investments in AI and community moderation, investments in machine learning across the ads platforms, 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 June 30, 2026, which 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 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 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 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.
Investor Relations IR@redditinc.com
Media Relations press@redditinc.com
Incremental Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the change in Adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in revenue over the same period. Rule of 40 is defined as the year-over-year revenue growth rate plus adjusted EBITDA margin 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.
