Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Snap Inc. is a technology company.
Snap Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. Our flagship product, Snapchat, is a visual messaging application that was created to help people communicate through short videos and images called “Snaps.”
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Snap Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends on December 31. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in February 2026 (the “Annual Report”).
In our opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report that have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Management’s estimates and judgments are based on historical information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Key estimates and judgments relate primarily to determining the recoverability of long-lived assets, evaluation of contingencies, uncertain tax positions, and the fair value of strategic investments. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates our estimates compared to historical experience and trends, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.
- Revenue
We determine revenue recognition by first identifying the contract or contracts with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We determine collectability by performing ongoing credit evaluations and monitoring customer accounts receivable balances. Sales tax, including value added tax, is excluded from reported revenue.
In arrangements where another party is involved in providing specified services to a customer, we evaluate whether we are the principal or agent. In this evaluation, we consider if we obtain control of the specified goods or services before they are transferred to the customer, as well as other indicators such as the party primarily responsible for fulfillment, inventory risk, and discretion in establishing price.
Advertising Revenue
We generate the substantial majority of our revenue through the sale of our advertising products on Snapchat, which include Snap Ads and AR Ads, referred to as advertising revenue. AR Ads include Sponsored Lenses, which allow users to interact with an advertiser’s brand by enabling branded augmented reality experiences.
Advertising revenue is primarily generated from the display of advertisements on Snapchat through contractual agreements that are either based on the number of advertising impressions delivered or on a fixed fee basis over a period of time. Revenue related to agreements based on the number of impressions delivered is recognized when the advertisement is served. Revenue related to fixed fee arrangements is recognized ratably over the service period, typically less than 30 days in duration, and such arrangements do not contain minimum impression guarantees.
For advertising revenue arrangements where we are not the principal, we recognize revenue on a net basis. For the periods presented, revenue for arrangements where we are the agent was not material.
Other Revenue
Other revenue primarily consists of revenue from subscriptions, which include Snapchat+, Lens+, and Snapchat Platinum. These services provide subscribers access to exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features, as well as an ad-free experience for Snapchat Platinum subscribers. We also generate subscription revenue from Memories Storage Plans, which provide subscribers with the ability to purchase cloud storage. Subscription revenue is initially deferred and then recognized ratably over the term of the subscription, which is generally one year or less. We report subscription revenue gross of transaction processing fees, which are recognized within cost of revenue on our consolidated statements of operations.
Other revenue also includes amounts earned from partnerships. These agreements are typically structured as fixed-fee arrangements with contract terms that may exceed one year, with revenue recognized ratably over the service period.
We also generate revenue from subscriptions and sales of physical products. Sales of physical products are reported net of allowances for returns. For the periods presented, all such revenue was not material.

- Net Loss per Share
We compute net loss per share using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock. We have three classes of authorized common stock for which voting rights differ by class.
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to each class of stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of stock outstanding during the period, adjusted forrestricted stock awards (“RSAs”) for which the risk of forfeiture has not yet lapsed.
For the calculation of diluted net loss per share, net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for basic net loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under our equity compensation plans. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the resulting net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding. We use the if‑converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the convertible senior notes due in 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2030 (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”) on diluted net loss per share. The Convertible Notes would have a dilutive impact on net income per share when the average market price of Class A common stock for a given period exceeds the respective conversion price of the Convertible Notes. For the periods presented, our potentially dilutive shares relating to stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), RSAs, and the Convertible Notes were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.
The numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations for our common stock are calculated as follows:

- Stockholders’ Equity
We maintainone active share-based employee compensation plan: the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees, including employees of any parent or subsidiary, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSAs, RSUs, performance stock awards, performance cash awards, and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors, and consultants, including employees and consultants of our affiliates.

2025 Note Repurchases
In February 2025, we entered into various privately negotiated repurchase transactions (the “February 2025 Note Repurchases”) with certain holders of the 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2028 Notes, pursuant to which we repurchased $45.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, $797.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes, and $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes. The total cash repurchase price was $1.4 billion, which was $190.1 million below the carrying value of the repurchased notes. The February 2025 Note Repurchases were accounted for as both a debt modification and a partial debt extinguishment, which resulted in a $66.9 million gain on extinguishment in the first quarter of 2025. The portion accounted for as a debt modification resulted in a $128.3 million increase to the carrying value of the 2033 Notes, offset by $5.1 million of debt issuance costs carried over from the repurchased notes.
In August 2025, we entered into various privately negotiated repurchase transactions (the “August 2025 Note Repurchases, and collectively with the February 2025 Note Repurchases, the “2025 Note Repurchases”) with certain holders of the 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2028 Notes, pursuant to which we repurchased $157.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, $246.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes, and $185.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes. The total cash repurchase price was $549.9 million, which was $37.7 million below the carrying value of the repurchased notes. The August 2025 Note Repurchases were accounted for as both a debt modification and a partial debt extinguishment, which resulted in a $29.8 million gain on extinguishment in the third quarter of 2025. The portion accounted for as a debt modification resulted in a $8.3 million increase to the carrying value of the 2034 Notes, offset by $0.4 million of debt issuance costs carried over from the repurchased notes.
Gains and losses on extinguishment are included within other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of operations.

Cash paid for interest was $74.9 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the pricing of the 2026 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2028 Notes, and the 2030 Notes, we entered into the 2026 Capped Call Transactions, the 2027 Capped Call Transactions, the 2028 Capped Call Transactions, and the 2030 Capped Call Transactions (collectively, the “Capped Call Transactions”), respectively, with certain counterparties at a net cost of $102.1 million, $86.8 million, $177.0 million, and $68.9 million, respectively. The cap price of the 2026 Capped Call Transactions, the 2027 Capped Call Transactions, the 2028 Capped Call Transactions, and the 2030 Capped Call Transactions is initially $32.58, $121.02, $93.90, and $33.48 per share of our Class A common stock, respectively. All are subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. Conditions that cause adjustments to the initial strike price of the Capped Call Transactions mirror conditions that result in corresponding adjustments for the Convertible Notes.
The Capped Call Transactions are intended to reduce potential dilution to holders of our Class A common stock beyond the conversion prices up to the cap prices on any conversion of the Convertible Notes or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount, as the case may be, with such reduction or offset subject to a cap. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction of our additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets. The Capped Call Transactions will not be remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification.
As of March 31, 2026, the Capped Call Transactions were out-of-the-money.
Credit Facility
In May 2022, we entered into afive-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with certain lenders that allows us to borrow up to $1.05 billion to fund working capital and general corporate-purpose expenditures. Loans bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to (i) a term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 0.85% or the base rate, if selected by us, for loans made in U.S. dollars, (ii) the Sterling overnight index average plus 0.7826% for loans made in Sterling, or (iii) foreign indices as stated in the credit agreement plus 0.75% for loans made in other permitted foreign currencies. The base rate is defined as the greatest of (i) the Wall Street Journal prime rate, (ii) the greater of the (a) federal funds rate and (b) the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.50%, and (iii) the applicable SOFR for a period ofone month (but not less than zero) plus 1.00. The Credit Facility also contains an annual commitment fee of 0.10% on the daily undrawn balance of the facility.
In February 2025, we amended the Credit Facility to extend the term of $800.0 million of the $1.05 billion to February 12, 2030, with the remaining $250.0 million of the Credit Facility maturing on the existing maturity date of May 6, 2027. In addition, the amendment increased the minimum liquidity covenant (defined as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) from $300.0 million to $800.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, we had $94.9 million in the form of outstanding standby letters of credit, withno amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
We have non-cancelable contractual agreements primarily related to the hosting of our data processing, storage, and other computing services, as well as lease, content and developer partner, and other commitments. We had $3.0 billion in commitments as of March 31, 2026, primarily due withintwo years. For additional discussion on leases, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.
Contingencies
We record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Accounting for contingencies requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. Many legal and tax contingencies can take years to be resolved.
Pending Matters
In November 2021, we and certain of our officers were named as defendants in a federal securities class action lawsuit purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our Class A common stock, alleging that we and certain of our officers made false or misleading statements and omissions concerning the impact that Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework would have on our business. In September 2025, we reached a preliminary settlement agreement to resolve this matter for $65.0 million, which we expect to be covered by insurance. In April 2026, the court granted final approval of the settlement and dismissed the action. The impact of this settlement on our consolidated financial statements is not material.
In August 2025, we and certain of our officers were named as defendants in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit was purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our Class A common stock. The lawsuit alleges that we and certain of our officers made false or misleading statements concerning an ad platform change that impacted revenue in the first half of 2025. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages and other relief. In December 2025, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the case which may be refiled in the future. Although we believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims, litigation is inherently uncertain, and an unfavorable outcome could seriously harm our business. For this pending matter, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss.
We are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including certain patent, trademark, privacy, regulatory, and employment matters. The outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for a particular period. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we do not currently believe that the final disposition of any of our other pending matters will seriously harm our business or materially impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, investors, directors, officers, employees, and other parties with respect to certain matters. Indemnification may include losses from our breach of such agreements, services we provide, or third-party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnifications may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future indemnification payments may not be subject to a cap. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnifications as of March 31, 2026. We believe the fair value of these liabilities is immaterial and accordingly haveno liabilities recorded for these agreements at March 31, 2026.
- Leases
We have non-cancelable lease agreements for certain of our offices with original lease terms expiring between 2026 and 2042. Total operating lease costs were $28.6 million and $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) and discount rate related to our operating leases were as follows:
| As of March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Weighted-average remaining lease term | 8.8 | 9.1 |
| Weighted-average discount rate | 6.2% | 6.1% |
The maturities of our operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2026 were as follows:
| Operating Leases | |
|---|---|
| (in thousands) | |
| Remainder of 2026 | $55,993 |
| 2027 | 97,906 |

| Total lease payments | 896,280 |
| Less: imputed interest | (230,436) |
| Present value of lease liabilities | $665,844 |
As of March 31, 2026, we had additional operating leases that have not yet commenced for facilities with lease obligations of $21.0 million. These operating leases will commence between 2026 and 2027 with lease terms of approximately five years toten years.
Cash payments included in the measurement of our operating lease liabilities, net of lease incentives received, were $23.4 million and $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Lease liabilities arising from obtaining operating lease right-of-use assets were $73.7 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
- Strategic Investments
We hold strategic investments primarily in privately held companies, which consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair values, and to a lesser extent, debt securities. These strategic investments are primarily recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The estimation of fair value for these privately held strategic investments requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, such as the issuance of new equity by the company, and as a result, we deem these assets as Level 3 financial instruments within the fair value measurement framework.
The following table summarizes our strategic investments held as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| As ofMarch 31, 2026 | As ofDecember 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | ||

| Unrealized losses, including impairments, on strategic investments still held at the reporting date | $— | $(11,588) |
| Losses on strategic investments, net | $— | $(11,588) |
Gains and losses on all strategic investments are included within other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of operations and included as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Strategic investments are included within other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
- Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into the following categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
We classify our cash equivalents and marketable securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because we use quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing observable market-based inputs to determine their fair value.
The following tables set forth our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding publicly traded equity securities, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Gross unrealized losses on marketable debt securities were not material as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we considered any decreases in fair value on our marketable debt securities to be driven by factors other than credit risk, including market risk. As of March 31, 2026, $0.9 billion of our total $1.8 billion in marketable debt securities have contractual maturities betweenone andfive years. All other marketable debt securities have contractual maturities less than one year.
We hold investments in publicly traded companies with an aggregate carrying value of $8.2 million and $9.5 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, recorded as marketable securities. We classify these publicly traded equity securities within Level 1 because we use quoted market prices to determine their fair value. Gains and losses recognized during the periods presented, which are included within other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of operations, were as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||

We carry the Notes at face value less any unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, plus unamortized premiums on our consolidated balance sheets, and present the fair value for disclosure purposes only. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the 2026 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2028 Notes, the 2030 Notes, the 2033 Notes, and the 2034 Notes was $46.4 million, $101.0 million, $469.5 million, $603.4 million, $1,421.4 million, and $517.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the 2026 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2028 Notes, the 2030 Notes, the 2033 Notes, and the 2034 Notes was $45.8 million, $99.1 million, $467.9 million, $655.4 million, $1,553.8 million, and $566.2 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Notes, which are classified as Level 2 financial instruments, was determined based on actual quoted or bid prices of the Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last business day of the period.
Schedule of Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in our consolidated balance sheets to the total of the amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
| As of March 31, | ||

| Restricted cash, included in other assets | 1,414 | 4,852 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $1,063,338 | $916,079 |
- Income Taxes
Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Income tax expense was $3.2 million and $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The table below presents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) by component and the reclassifications out of AOCI:

- Segments and Geographic Information
Our CEO is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Our CODM evaluates performance and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on financial data presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue disaggregated by geographic region. Because our CODM evaluates financial performance on a consolidated basis, we have determined that we have a single operating segment composed of the consolidated financial results of Snap Inc.
The measure used by our CODM to assess performance and make operating decisions is net loss as reported on our consolidated statements of operations. Net loss is used by our CODM to identify underlying trends in the performance of our business and make comparisons with the financial performance of our competitors. Our CODM also reviews total assets, as reported on our consolidated balance sheets, and purchases of property and equipment, as reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our CODM also utilizes expense information in order to assess our financial performance. Infrastructure costs primarily consist of payments to third-party infrastructure partners for hosting our products, which include expenses related to storage, computing, and bandwidth. Content and developer partner costs primarily consist of fees paid to our content creators and publisher partners who share content on our platform through revenue sharing arrangements. Advertising partner and other costs primarily consist of payments to third-party partners for fulfillment services, transaction processing fees, and other expenses directly related to providing our services. Operating expenses include all remaining costs necessary to operate our business, which primarily include personnel expenses, facilities and related costs, promotional and marketing expenses, external professional services, and other administrative expenses. Operating expenses include charges recognized as research and development, selling and marketing, and general and administrative expenses within our consolidated statements of operations, but exclude stock-based compensation and related payroll and other tax expenses, depreciation and amortization, and restructuring charges, which are independently reviewed by our CODM.
The following table presents the significant segment expenses and other segment items regularly reviewed by our CODM:

- Subsequent Events
On April 15, 2026, we announced a plan to reduce our global headcount by approximately 16% of our global full-time employees. As a result, we currently estimate that we will incur pre-tax charges in the range of $95 million to $130 million, primarily consisting of severance and related costs, contract termination costs, and other impairment charges, of which $75 million to $100 million are expected to be future cash expenditures. The majority of these costs are expected to be incurred during the second quarter of 2026.
