Current report

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased $215.6 million and $635.3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was driven by a $55.7 million and $197.2 million increase in advertising revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. The increase in advertising revenue in both periods is primarily due to higher advertiser spending across native surfaces such as Sponsored Snaps and Promoted Places, reflecting in part a shift in advertiser spending from other advertising surfaces. The increase in total revenue was also driven by a $160.0 million and $438.0 million increase in other revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, which is due to higher subscription revenue from growth in the number of subscribers and the introduction of new subscription products.

Current report

Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 decreased $24.8 million compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $64.5 million decrease in content and developer partner costs as we shift to higher-margin advertising products such as Sponsored Snaps and Promoted Places, partially offset by a $33.1 million increase in advertising partner and other costs attributable to higher transaction processing fees due to growth in subscription revenue and a $7.1 million increase in infrastructure costs attributable to MAU growth of 4% compared to the prior year. Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased $15.4 million compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was driven by a $92.9 million increase in advertising partner and other costs attributable to higher transaction processing fees due to growth in subscription revenue and a $42.0 million increase in infrastructure costs attributable to MAU growth, partially offset by a $127.7 million decrease in content and developer partner costs as we shift to higher-margin advertising products such as Sponsored Snaps and Promoted Places.

Previous report

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $254.1 million and $419.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was driven by a $109.0 million and $141.6 million increase in advertising revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in advertising revenue is due to a year-over-year increase in the average cost per advertising impression of approximately 10%. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in advertising revenue is due to a year-over-year increase in global advertising impressions volume of approximately 8%, which is driven by expanded advertising delivery with Sponsored Snaps. The increase in advertising revenue was partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in the average cost per advertising impression of approximately 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which is driven by strong growth in impressions delivery. Additionally, the increase in total revenue was also driven by a $145.1 million and $278.1 million increase in other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, which is due to higher subscription revenue from growth in the number of subscribers, attributable to new subscription products.

Previous report

Cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 increased $14.6 million and $40.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase in both periods was primarily driven by a $10.2 million increase and a $34.9 million increase in infrastructure costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, attributable to DAU growth of 5% compared to the prior year as well as higher transaction processing fees due to higher subscription revenue.

Previous wording

We periodically make changes to our business and priorities. In recent years, our focus has been on three strategic priorities: growing our community and deepening their engagement with our products, accelerating and diversifying our revenue growth, and investing in the future of augmented reality, including our investments in SPECS. We believe that we can be successful in our current operating environment, with various macroeconomic factors and geo-political events and conflicts impacting our business, by rigorously prioritizing our investments and continuing to engage our community with our products while driving success for our advertising partners. In connection with these efforts, we have undertaken restructuring initiatives to further align our cost structure and investments with our strategic priorities, which may continue to affect our operations and financial results.

In connection with these efforts, we have undertaken restructuring initiatives to further align our cost structure and investments with our strategic priorities, which may continue to affect our operations and financial results.

Previous wording

We define a DAU as a registered and logged-in Snapchat user who visits Snapchat through our applications or websites at least once during a defined 24-hour period. We define ARPU as quarterly revenue divided by the average DAUs. We assess the health of our business by measuring DAUs and ARPU because we believe that these metrics are important ways for both management and investors to understand engagement and monitor the performance of our platform. We also measure ARPU because we believe that this metric helps our management and investors to assess the extent to which we are monetizing our service. However, as our business and the way users engage with our platform evolve, we periodically review the metrics we use to evaluate our performance, including metrics broken out by geography, and may refine, change, or remove these metrics in the future in connection with changes to our products, our business, or how management believes we can best monitor engagement with and performance of our platform.

We recorded revenue of $1,599.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to revenue of $1,344.9 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of 19% year-over-year. We monetize our business primarily through advertising and to a lesser extent through other revenue.

Previous wording

We measure our business using ARPU because it helps us understand the rate at which we are monetizing our daily user base. ARPU was $3.25 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.87 in the second quarter of 2025. For purposes of calculating ARPU, we attribute revenue to regions based on our estimate of where revenue-generating activities occur, which is generally determined by the billing address of the customer. For advertising revenue, we allocate revenue based on the geographic location where advertising impressions are delivered, as this approximates revenue based on user activity. This differs from the presentation of our revenue by geography in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, where all revenue is based on the billing address of the customer.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

Repurchases have been authorized through February 2027 but the program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time during the program.

Current wording

In November 2025 and February 2026, our board of directors authorized two stock repurchase programs for the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our Class A common stock under each program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased and retired a total of 98.5 million shares of our Class A common stock for $601.0 million, including costs associated with the repurchases. We completed the November 2025 program in January 2026, and the remaining availability under the February 2026 program as of September 30, 2026 was $150.0 million. Repurchases of Class A common stock from the remaining availability may be made from time to time and will be funded from existing cash and cash equivalents.

Previous wording

We are involved in claims, lawsuits, tax matters, government investigations, and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We record a provision for a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe that a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. Such claims, suits, and proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Many of these legal and tax contingencies can take years to resolve. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

We define MAU as a registered and logged-in Snapchat user who visits Snapchat through our applications or websites at least once during the 30-day period ending on the calendar month-end. We calculate average MAUs for a particular quarter by calculating the average of the MAUs as of each calendar month-end in that quarter. We define a DAU as a registered and logged-in Snapchat user who visits Snapchat through our applications or websites at least once during a defined 24-hour period. We calculate average DAUs for a particular quarter by adding the number of DAUs on each day of that quarter and dividing that sum by the number of days in that quarter. DAUs are broken out by geography because markets have different characteristics. We define ARPU as quarterly revenue divided by the average DAUs.
