Previous wording
The absolute number of our DAUq and our DAUq growth rate has decreased in the past and may fluctuate or decrease in one or more markets from time to time due to various factors, especially after periods of high growth, such as we have experienced. For example, although we saw increased growth in our user base during the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced lower levels of DAUq growth and declining DAUq as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic subsided. DAUq has also declined in the past in periods following usage peaks surrounding certain worldwide events, such as the onset of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in the three months ended March 31, 2022, and cultural trends, including video game releases, such as Elden Ring in the three months ended March 31, 2022, and traffic related to r/ wallstreetbets in the three months ended March 31, 2021. These usage peaks are driven by external factors that are outside of our control. Accordingly, such growth may not be repeatable and we may experience declines in DAUq in the future in similar circumstances. DAUq has also been volatile during community responses to domestic and international social unrest as well as in response to actions by us. For example, we saw increased growth in our user base in the three months ended December 31, 2023, which may have been driven in part by performance improvements in our product and possibly by migration of usage from certain third-party applications in response to changes in our application program interface (“API”) terms and policies. Such growth may not be sustainable. In the three months ended June 30, 2025, logged-out DAUq comprised 55% of global DAUq. Logged-out users typically come to Reddit via search engines, spend less time on the site, and do not monetize at the same rate as logged-in users. Furthermore, we anticipate that our DAUq growth rate will slow over time as the absolute number of our DAUq increases. To the extent our DAUq growth rate slows or becomes negative, our success will increasingly depend on our ability to increase levels of engagement and monetization on our platform, including the level at which users visiting us from search traffic become more frequent users of our platform.

Although we had net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and every quarter since, we have previously incurred net losses since our inception, and we may incur net losses again in the future. We incurred net loss of $(484.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $(1.1) billion. We also expect our costs and expenses to increase in future periods, and if our revenue growth does not increase to more than offset these anticipated increases in our costs and expenses, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects will be harmed, and we may not be able to maintain profitability. We expect our costs and expenses to increase in future periods as we intend to continue to make significant investments to broaden our user base, develop and implement new products, market new and existing products and promote our brand, expand our technical infrastructure, and hire additional employees (with a related expected increase in payroll and stock-based compensation expense). Some of these investments may generate only limited revenue and reduce our operating margin. If our investments are not successful, our ability to increase revenue may be adversely affected.

We are subject to a variety of laws, rules, regulations, industry standards, and other legal obligations in the United States and abroad that involve matters central to our business, including content, intellectual property, rights of publicity and privacy, advertising, machine learning and AI, marketing, distribution, competition, consumer protection, protection of minors, telecommunications, product liability, taxation, economic or other trade prohibitions or sanctions, blockchain, and securities laws. The laws, rules, and regulations applicable to our business are stringent, evolving, and involve matters central to our business, and may be interpreted, applied, created, or amended in a manner that could harm our current or future business and operations.

We expect increasing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding the use and regulation of content made available on platforms such as ours. We have faced, currently face, and will continue to face claims relating to information or content that is published or made available on our platform. In particular, the nature of our business exposes us to claims related to defamation, dissemination of misinformation or news hoaxes, discrimination, harassment, intellectual property rights, rights of publicity and privacy, personal injury torts, laws regulating hate speech or other types of content, online safety, sex trafficking, consumer protection, and breach of contract, among others. In the United States, there have been and will continue to be various U.S. Executive Branch, Congressional, and state-level efforts to regulate the content made available on platforms such as ours, and to restrict the scope of the protections available to online platforms under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Our current protections from liability for content moderation decisions and third-party content posted on our platform in the United States could decrease or change, potentially resulting in increased liability for content moderation decisions and third-party content posted on our platform and higher litigation costs.

We expect increasing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding the use and regulation of content made available on platforms such as ours. We have faced, currently face, and will continue to face claims and governmental scrutiny relating to information or content that is published or made available on our platform. In particular, the nature of our business exposes us to claims and governmental scrutiny related to defamation, dissemination of misinformation or news hoaxes, discrimination, harassment, intellectual property rights, rights of publicity and privacy, personal injury torts, laws regulating hate speech or other types of content, online safety, sex trafficking, consumer protection, and breach of contract, among others.

We could also face fines, orders restricting or blocking our services in particular geographies, or other government-imposed remedies as a result of content hosted on our services. This risk is enhanced in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States where our protection from liability for third-party actions may be unclear or where we may be less protected under local laws than we are in the United States. Numerous countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America are considering or have implemented legislation and regulations imposing potentially significant penalties, including fines, service throttling, access bans, or advertising bans, for failure to remove certain types of content or follow certain processes. For example, legislation in Germany and India has resulted and may result in the future, in the imposition of fines or other penalties for failure to comply with certain content removal, law enforcement cooperation, and disclosure obligations. Moreover, a recent ruling by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court regarding the responsibility of online platforms for user-generated content introduces similar legal and compliance risks. Content-related legislation and regulations also have required us and may require us in the future, to change our products or business practices, increase our costs, or otherwise impact our operations or our ability to provide services in certain geographies. For example, the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market expands online platform liability for copyright infringement and regulates certain uses of news content online. In addition, the European Union (the “EU”) revised the European Audiovisual Media Service Directive to apply to online video-sharing platforms, which member states were required to implement into national law by December 2020. An Irish regulator has previously designated Reddit as a video-sharing platform service under Ireland’s Online Safety and Media Regulation Act (the “Media Regulation Act”), implementing their version of the directive; while this designation has been rescinded on jurisdictional grounds, other EU regulators may designate us as a video-sharing platform service under similar directives in the future. The expansion and complexity of laws and regulations like the Online Safety Acts in the United Kingdom (the “UK”) and Australia, the EU ePrivacy Directive, the EU Digital Services Act, and others across the globe may increase our compliance costs and require changes to our processes and operations. Further, there are regulations aimed at limiting minors’ access to online content, including adult content, or otherwise governing their treatment by online platforms, such as the Online Safety Acts in the UK and Australia. These regulations have and could continue to prevent us from making our services available to certain users in certain jurisdictions, increase our costs of operations, and introduce technological challenges (such as requiring d…

Moreover, a recent ruling by Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court partially invalidated the country's pre-existing intermediary liability framework and introduced a new notice and takedown regime for a broad range of unlawful content and illegal ads, increasing legal and compliance risks in Brazil. Content-related legislation and regulations also have required us and may require us in the future, to change our products or business practices, increase our costs, or otherwise impact our operations or our ability to provide services in certain geographies.

We also continue to pursue new business initiatives to empower communities through new technologies, including machine learning and AI, blockchain technology, and non-fungible token (“NFT”) standards. These initiatives and technologies are subject to complex and rapidly evolving laws and regulations, and governments and regulatory authorities may disagree with our risk-based judgments about how these laws and regulations apply to our business initiatives, or may enact, interpret, or apply laws and regulations that are inconsistent across jurisdictions. In addition, future legal and regulatory developments related to machine learning and AI, blockchain technology, and NFT standards may negatively impact demand for, and our ability to offer, products and services related to these new technologies. They may also increase our compliance and litigation costs, cause us to change our business practices, and harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. To support our business initiatives relying on blockchain technology and NFT standards, including Reddit Collectible Avatars, we have acquired and used, and may continue to acquire and use, certain cryptocurrencies, including Ether and Matic. Collectible Avatars rely on blockchain technology, NFT standards, and cryptocurrencies for their creation, existence, and transactional validation on the blockchain, which exposes them to risks related to cybersecurity, malicious attack, and technological obsolescence. While we believe we have taken reasonable measures to secure our use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, these risks, in addition to human errors and computer malfunctions, may harm or result in the loss of Collectible Avatars, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrencies we control. While we believe blockchain technology has significant potential, long-term adoption is uncertain. New legislation and regulations, law enforcement and regulatory interventions, and judicial decisions may adversely affect blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, and future adoption of both by consumers and businesses. Developments of this nature may also adversely affect the value of blockchain technology we control, and our ability to buy, sell, accept, and use cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in the future.

We also continue to pursue new business initiatives to empower communities through new technologies, including machine learning and AI.

These initiatives and technologies are subject to complex and rapidly evolving laws and regulations, and governments and regulatory authorities may disagree with our risk-based judgments about how these laws and regulations apply to our business initiatives, or may enact, interpret, or apply laws and regulations that are inconsistent across jurisdictions.

In addition, we are in the early stages of our content licensing efforts and are exploring content licensing opportunities where we believe the opportunity does not conflict with our values and the rights of Redditors. These programs may subject us to evolving approaches to the regulation of this data and implicate complex and developing data privacy and data protection, misappropriation, and intellectual property laws, rules, and regulations. Given the novel nature of these technologies and commercial arrangements, we have received and expect to continue to receive inquiries regarding our content licensing efforts from regulators. For example, in March 2024, we received a letter from the FTC advising us that the FTC’s staff is conducting a non-public inquiry focused on our sale, licensing, or sharing of user-generated content with third parties to train AI models. Given the novel nature of these technologies and commercial arrangements, we are not surprised that the FTC has expressed interest in this area. We do not believe that we have engaged in any unfair or deceptive trade practice, we expect to receive continued regulatory interest in our plans, and any regulatory engagement can be lengthy, unpredictable and may cause us to incur substantial costs. It is possible for any regulatory engagement to result in reputational harm or fines, cause us to discontinue or modify our products, services, features, or functionalities, require us to change our policies or practices, divert management and other resources from our business, or otherwise adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

In October 2021, we entered into a five-year, $750.0 million revolving credit facility by and among us and certain lenders to fund working capital and general corporate purpose expenditures, which was further amended in May 2023. In July 2025, we renewed and amended this revolving credit facility for $500.0 million accessible through July 1, 2030 (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”). The Amended Revolving Credit Facility contains customary conditions to borrowing, events of default, and covenants. Covenants include restrictions on our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make distributions to holders of our capital stock or the capital stock of our subsidiaries, make investments, or engage in transactions with our affiliates, and require us to adhere to a maximum leverage ratio. The obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets, including intellectual property assets.

Various risks, uncertainties, and events beyond our control could affect our ability to comply with these covenants. Failure to comply with any of the covenants could result in a default under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Such a default could permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of outstanding amounts under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility, if any, which in turn could result in material adverse consequences that negatively impact our business, the market price for our Class A common stock, and our ability to obtain other financing in the future. In addition, our Amended Revolving Credit Facility’s covenants, consent requirements, and other provisions may limit our flexibility to pursue or fund strategic initiatives or acquisitions that might be in the long-term interests of us and stockholders.

Our Class B common stock has ten votes per share, our Class A common stock has one vote per share, and our Class C common stock has no votes per share. Because of the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Class B and Class A common stock, the holders of our Class B common stock collectively continue to control a significant percentage of the combined voting power of our common stock and therefore are able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval until a substantial number of such outstanding shares of Class B common stock have converted into shares of our Class A common stock. Furthermore, in connection with our initial public offering, Steven Huffman, our Chief Executive Officer and President and a member of our board of directors, entered into a voting agreement with each of (i) Advance Magazine Publishers Inc. ("Advance") and (ii) Tencent Cloud Europe B.V. and Jojoba Investment Limited that provides, among other things, that Mr. Huffman is entitled to vote all of the securities beneficially owned by such stockholders and certain of their affiliates, in Mr. Huffman’s sole discretion, on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, subject to certain exceptions. We estimate as of June 30, 2025, pursuant to such voting agreements, Mr. Huffman was entitled to vote shares representing approximately 74% of the voting power of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. As a result, we are eligible to be a “controlled company” under the rules of NYSE, which exempts companies from certain corporate governance rules relating to the independence of the board of directors and its committees. Although we are eligible to use these exemptions, we do not currently expect to avail ourselves of any of these exemptions. However, if we were to use some or all of these exemptions in the future, investors may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of NYSE and our “controlled company” status could make our Class A common stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise adversely affect its trading price. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the voting agreement with Advance, Mr. Huffman is also entitled to vote all of the securities beneficially owned by Advance in favor of directors designated by Advance and director candidates nominated or identified by Mr. Huffman.

Sales or issuances of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock, other series of common stock, convertible securities, or other equity securities in the public market, or the perception that these sales or issuances might occur in large quantities, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline, could dilute investors, and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. As of June 30, 2025, we had 131,962,529 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, 55,112,126 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, no shares of Class C common stock outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Further, as of June 30, 2025, we had 11,865,483 options outstanding that, if fully exercised, would result in the issuance of 10,136,166 shares of Class A common stock and 1,729,317 shares of Class B common stock, as well as 7,092,011 shares of Class A common stock and 523,340 shares of Class B common stock issuable upon vesting of outstanding RSUs and PRSUs, which have been registered on Form S-8 under the Securities Act. These shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to applicable vesting requirements, compliance by affiliates with Rule 144, and other restrictions provided under the terms of the applicable plan and/or the award agreements entered into with participants. In addition, we have filed and may in the future file registration statements covering shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our equity incentive plans permitting the resale of such shares by non-affiliates in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act and the sale by affiliates in the public market subject to compliance with the resale provisions of Rule 144.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Additionally, our ability to pay dividends is limited by restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions under the terms of our Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Accordingly, investors must for the foreseeable future rely on sales of their Class A common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.
