Insights

Reddit's Q2 2024 results demonstrate impressive growth and financial improvement. Revenue surged 54% YoY to $281.2 million, with ad revenue up 41% and other revenue skyrocketing 691%. The company's user base expanded significantly, with DAUq increasing 51% to 91.2 million and WAUq up 57% to 342.3 million.

Notably, Reddit's profitability metrics showed substantial progress. Net loss narrowed to $10.1 million from $41.1 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $39.5 million, a $74.9 million improvement. The Adjusted EBITDA margin of 14% represents a remarkable 3000+ basis point increase.

The company's cash flow also improved dramatically, with operating cash flow of $28.4 million and Free Cash Flow of $27.2 million, up $82.1 million from the previous year. This financial performance suggests Reddit is making significant strides towards sustainable profitability and growth.

Reddit's Q2 results reflect strong market positioning and user engagement. The 51% YoY increase in Daily Active Uniques to 91.2 million indicates growing platform stickiness and user retention. This growth outpaces many social media competitors, suggesting Reddit is capturing a larger share of user attention.

The 691% YoY surge in 'Other revenue' to $28.1 million is particularly intriguing. This could signal successful diversification of revenue streams beyond traditional advertising, potentially including premium features or data licensing. Such diversification could provide more stable and predictable revenue in the future.

Reddit's international expansion appears to be gaining traction, with international revenue growing 49% YoY to $53.1 million. However, at just 18.9% of total revenue, there's still significant room for global growth, presenting a long-term opportunity for the company.

Reddit's strong Q2 performance underscores the effectiveness of its platform improvements. The substantial user growth suggests that recent UI/UX enhancements and content moderation efforts are resonating with users. The 57% YoY increase in Weekly Active Uniques to 342.3 million indicates strong user engagement and retention.

The company's ability to more than double its growth rate from the prior year while maintaining a high gross margin of 89.5% demonstrates excellent scalability of its technology infrastructure. This scalability is important for handling increased user activity without proportional cost increases.

Reddit's improved financial metrics, particularly the positive Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, suggest that the company is successfully monetizing its user base without compromising the user experience. This balancing act is often challenging for social media platforms but appears to be well-executed by Reddit in this quarter.

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 release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Reddit’s priorities, future financial and operating performance, including headcount strategy, breakeven performance objective, capitalization of training data, evolution of AI, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including Reddit’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, 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, and Free Cash Flow. 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 in the Appendix 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 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. 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.
