- 2023 revenue increased 9% to $3,055 million
- Global Monthly Active Users (MAUs) reached an all-time high of 498 million

Insights
The reported 12% year-over-year growth in Q4 revenue for Pinterest is a positive indicator, especially when considering the broader context of the technology sector which has faced headwinds from various macroeconomic factors. The increase in global monthly active users to 498 million suggests that the platform's user engagement and market penetration are expanding, which is critical for sustaining advertising revenue.
However, the GAAP net loss of $36 million for 2023 raises questions about the company's cost control measures and profitability in the long term. The significant improvement in net income for Q4 compared to the same quarter last year indicates a potential turnaround in profitability, which could impact investor sentiment positively if the trend continues.
Examining the Adjusted EBITDA, which grew 86% for Q4 and 55% for the full year, provides an insight into the company's operational efficiency. An adjusted EBITDA margin of 37% for Q4 is particularly robust, reflecting well on management's ability to optimize expenses while growing revenue.
From a market research perspective, the alignment of interests between users and advertisers that Pinterest's CEO highlights is a noteworthy competitive advantage. The platform's ability to drive campaign performance for brands could lead to increased advertising spend on Pinterest, especially as brands seek alternatives to traditional digital advertising platforms.
The product velocity and the launch of new solutions mentioned by the CEO suggest that Pinterest is actively innovating to keep users engaged and attract advertisers. This innovation is likely a key driver behind the reported revenue growth and could be a differentiator in the social media space moving forward.
From an economic standpoint, Pinterest's performance must be contextualized within the broader economic landscape. The double-digit revenue growth in a period of economic uncertainty may indicate that Pinterest has a resilient business model or that it benefits from countercyclical trends, such as increased digital advertising during economic downturns when companies seek more measurable marketing strategies.
The net income margin improvement to 21% for Q4 is particularly remarkable, suggesting that Pinterest has not only managed to increase revenue but also to do so in a way that has significantly improved profitability. This improvement in profitability, if sustained, could lead to positive reassessment of Pinterest's valuation by the market.

“We had a strong Q4, bookending a transformative year for Pinterest,” said Bill Ready, CEO of Pinterest. “2023 was our most productive year yet as we accelerated our product velocity and launched more solutions than ever before. Brands are responding by using our full suite of products to drive even better campaign performance. Pinterest is the rare business where the interests of users and advertisers are aligned. It’s proven to be true as we continue to post double-digit revenue growth and have achieved an all-time high for global MAU. The changes we made have set us up to be a stronger and more efficient company as we double down on our momentum in 2024.”

We intend to provide further details on our outlook during the conference call.
_______________ |
*We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalents for certain forward-looking non-GAAP operating expenses or a GAAP reconciliation as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as share-based compensation expense, which is impacted by, among other things, employee retention and decisions around future equity grants to employees. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalents is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results and, as such, we also believe that any reconciliations provided would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. |

About non-GAAP financial measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, interest income (expense), net, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, restructuring charges and non-cash charitable contributions. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue. Non-GAAP costs and expenses (including non-GAAP cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative) and non-GAAP net income exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and non-cash charitable contributions. Non-GAAP income from operations is calculated by subtracting non-GAAP costs and expenses from revenue. Non-GAAP net income per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. We use these measures to evaluate our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income and expenses they exclude. We also believe these measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics we use for financial and operational decision-making. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist potential investors in seeing our operating results through the eyes of management and because we believe these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our operating results over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures rather than the nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges such as depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of acquired intangible assets, although these assets may have to be replaced in the future, and share-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense and an important part of our compensation strategy.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the tables under "―Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results" included at the end of this release.
Limitation of key metrics and other data
The numbers for our key metrics, which include our MAUs and ARPU, are calculated using internal company data based on the activity of user accounts. We define a MAU as an authenticated Pinterest user who visits our website, opens our mobile application or interacts with Pinterest through one of our browser or site extensions, such as the Save button, at least once during the 30-day period ending on the date of measurement. The number of MAUs do not include Shuffles users unless they would otherwise qualify as MAUs. Unless otherwise indicated, we present MAUs based on the number of MAUs measured on the last day of the current period. We measure monetization of our platform through our ARPU metric. We define ARPU as our total revenue in a given geography during a period divided by the average of the number of MAUs in that geography during the period. We calculate average MAUs based on the average of the number of MAUs measured on the last day of the current period and the last day prior to the beginning of the current period. We calculate ARPU by geography based on our estimate of the geography in which revenue-generating activities occur. We use these metrics to assess the growth and health of the overall business and believe that MAUs and ARPU best reflect our ability to attract, retain, engage and monetize our users, and thereby drive revenue. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates of our user base for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage of our products across large online and mobile populations around the world. In addition, we are continually seeking to improve our estimates of our user base, and such estimates may change due to improvements or changes in technology or our methodology.
