Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Measures

We use the following key performance metrics and non-GAAP measures to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our performance, and make strategic decisions. For more information regarding how we use non-GAAP measures in our business, the limitations of these measures, and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, refer to the section titled Non-GAAP Measures.

Note that certain figures shown within this section may not recalculate due to rounding.

Performance Metrics

The performance metrics below are presented in two categories: direct-to-consumer (D2C) and third-party publishers, which sum to the total metric. The underlying trends and drivers of our D2C business often vary from those of our third-party publisher business. Our D2C business caters to consumers who are focused on savings, irrespective of the retailer. Our third-party publisher business tends to reach consumers who may be more loyal to a specific retailer and are engaging with offers powered by Ibotta’s technology platform. The explanation of the changes in the total metric can be found in the D2C and third-party publishers sections.

Redemptions

A redemption is a verified purchase of an item qualifying for an offer by a client on the IPN. The number of redemptions is an indicator of the scale and consumer engagement of our business, as well as the value we bring to our clients and publishers. Generally, redemptions change as budgets increase or decrease with existing clients and/or as we add or lose CPG brands as clients. In addition, redemptions grow from adding publishers and redeemers, and/or increasing engagement from existing redeemers.

D2C redemptions are redemptions on any D2C property. Third-party publisher redemptions are redemptions on all publishers excluding the D2C properties, namely our retailer publishers.

Third-party publisher redemptions

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, third-party publisher redemptions were approximately 70.7 million and 61.2 million, respectively. This growth was driven primarily by organic growth at existing third-party publishers, as well as the launch of new publishers, namely DoorDash, which substantially launched in the second quarter of 2025.

D2C redemptions

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, D2C redemptions were approximately 17.3 million and 21.6 million, respectively. The decrease was driven by the quantity and quality of offers available to each D2C redeemer.

Total redemptions

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, total redemptions were 88.0 million and 82.8 million, respectively.

Redeemers

Redeemers are defined as consumers who have redeemed at least one digital offer within the quarter. If one consumer were to redeem on more than one publisher, they would be counted as a redeemer on each publisher. Year-to-date redeemers are calculated as the average of current year quarter-to-date redeemers. Redeemers are an indicator of the scale and growth of our business, as the number of redeemers typically drives our revenue and is an indication of our ability to grow redemptions.

D2C redeemers are consumers who have redeemed at least one digital offer on any Ibotta property within the quarter. Third-party publisher redeemers are consumers who have redeemed at least one digital offer on any publisher property that is not an Ibotta property, namely our retailer publishers.

D2C redeemers

Total redeemers

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, total redeemers were approximately 19.7 million and 17.1 million, respectively.

Redemptions per redeemer

Redemptions per redeemer are the redemptions divided by the redeemers in that period. This metric is useful as redemptions per redeemer is an indication of our redeemers’ level of engagement with our platform and network. We aim to grow redemptions from our redeemers by expanding the quantity and quality of offers available and increasing engagement by continuing to improve the consumer experience. In general, redemptions per redeemer are driven by the quantity and quality of offer supply and the growth in offer supply relative to the growth in redeemers. For new redeemers, redemption frequency initially increases before stabilizing. Our D2C business caters to consumers who are focused on savings, irrespective of the retailer. Our third-party publisher business tends to reach consumers who may be more loyal to a specific retailer and are engaging with offers powered by Ibotta’s technology platform. Third-party publisher redeemers tend to have a lower redemption frequency as compared to D2C redeemers.

In any period, our redemption revenue per redemption can fluctuate based on the product category mix of offers being redeemed and the impact of inflation on a product’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). Product category mix can be impacted by factors such as seasonal promotions, including back-to-school items in the third quarter or holiday promotions on grocery and food items in the fourth quarter of each year.
