Current report

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $271.1 million, or 69%, compared to the prior year period. The growth in revenue was due primarily to an increase in advertising revenue of $266.0 million, or 74%, as compared to the prior year period driven by an increase in impressions delivered and an increase in pricing. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, ad impressions delivered increased by approximately 32% compared to the prior year period driven in part by ad load optimization and improvements, including new ad placements, and by increases in the number of users and user engagement. For more information regarding increases in the number of users, see “—Key Financial and Operating Metrics—Trends in User Metrics.” During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the price of ads increased by approximately 32% compared to the prior year period driven by higher advertiser demand and performance across the full funnel of ad objectives.

Current report

Revenue in the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $211.7 million, or 67%, compared to the prior year period. Revenue in the rest of world for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $59.3 million, or 76%, compared to the prior year period. Revenue growth for both geographies was driven by the factors described above. The growth in revenue in the rest of world was also due to our focus on, among other factors, internationalization, including through machine translation and improving local content.

Current report

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $16.0 million, or 8%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in hosting costs associated with internal research and development activities.

Current report

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $60.8 million, or 67%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in user and brand marketing expenses and, to a lesser extent, an increase in employee-related costs, driven in part by an increase in headcount.

Current report

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were relatively flat compared to the prior year period.

Current report

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $3.5 million, or (202)%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes as compared to the prior year period.

Current report

On February 4, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to purchase up to $1.0 billion of our Class A common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares of our Class A common stock from time to time on the open market (including via pre-set trading plans), in privately negotiated transactions, or through other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock, has no expiration date, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 34,690 shares of our Class A common stock for $5.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, $995.0 million remained available for repurchases.

Current report

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which we expect the differences to reverse. We establish valuation allowances to reduce the total deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including past operating results and estimates of future taxable income. Our judgment regarding the timing and amount of the valuation allowance release is subject to change based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the level of profitability (income before income taxes adjusted for permanent differences) that we are able to accurately forecast, as well as the amount of our tax deductible stock-based compensation, which is dependent upon our publicly traded share price, and macroeconomic conditions, among other factors. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

Previous report

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $236.6 million and $604.4 million, or 68% and 69%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The growth in revenue was due primarily to an increase in advertising revenue driven by an increase in impressions delivered and to a lesser extent, an increase in pricing. In addition, other revenue increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of content licensing agreements executed in 2024.

Previous report

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $29.7 million, or 18%, and decreased by $162.2 million, or 22%, compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The increase in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period was driven primarily by an increase in employee-related costs, driven in part by an increase in headcount, and an increase in stock-based compensation expense. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period was driven primarily by the cumulative catch-up upon IPO of stock-based compensation expense and related taxes for RSUs with a liquidity event vesting condition recognized in the prior year period, partially offset by an increase in other employee-related costs in the current period.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $54.2 million and $69.9 million, or 73% and 26%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase in sales and marketing expenses in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was driven primarily by an increase in marketing expense and in employee-related costs, driven in part by an increase in headcount. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025 the increase was partially offset by the cumulative catch-up upon IPO of stock-based compensation expense and related taxes for RSUs with a liquidity event vesting condition recognized in the prior year period.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $3.1 million, or 5%, and decreased by $170.6 million, or 45%, compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period was driven primarily by the cumulative catch-up upon IPO of stock-based compensation expense and related taxes for RSUs with a liquidity event vesting condition recognized in the prior year period.

Previous report

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $2.1 million and $4.4 million compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The income tax benefit in the current year periods was primarily attributable to an excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation in a foreign subsidiary.

Previous wording

DAUq includes visits from those who have logged in to a registered account as well as those who have not logged in to—or do not have—a registered account. Visitors that come to Reddit from search engines are generally not logged in and originate from both desktop and mobile web. Currently, monetization of these users is mainly through conversation pages and feed ads. Measuring the number of logged-out visitors is difficult and complex. For example, prior to the first quarter of 2023, a portion of our historical DAUq metric counted views of pages that were hosted using Google’s Accelerated Mobile Page (“AMP”) framework. The accuracy of counting the DAUq attributable to this AMP traffic relied on the accuracy and completeness of information received from Google, which had not been historically complete and consistent. As such, our historical DAUq metrics are not directly comparable quarter over quarter or year over year. To the extent that our metric includes views of pages hosted on third-party infrastructure, like Google’s AMP framework, the accuracy and comparability of our metrics will depend on the accuracy and consistency of the information received from any such third party.

Previous wording

Year over year and quarter over quarter activity can also fluctuate due to various internal and external factors. During the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we deployed further advances in our process used to identify and address activity by users and visitors, including web crawlers and scrapers. As we identify automated agents, we remove them from our DAUq count prospectively and do not recalculate DAUq for prior periods if we assess such impact to be immaterial. As we have continued to improve our capabilities to identify suspicious traffic, we have not seen this methodology materially impact trends in DAUq from quarter to quarter.

Previous wording

In addition, we monitor logged-in DAUq, which we define 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 and was logged in to a registered account. We measure logged-in DAUq because these users tend to have higher engagement and spend more time on our platform compared to users who are not logged in to a registered account.

Current wording

Historically we monitored logged-in DAUq, which we define 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 and was logged in to a registered account. We measured logged-in DAUq because these users tend to have higher engagement and spend more time on our platform compared to users who are not logged in to a registered account. However, as our business has scaled and our product strategy has evolved, our focus has shifted to delivering immediate value for all users and enabling them to engage with content on Reddit, regardless of whether they are logged in or logged out. As a result, management primarily uses total DAUq and DAUq by geography for managing the business and for evaluating our core operating performance. Therefore, beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2026, we will no longer report logged-in and logged-out DAUq.

Previous wording

In the three months ended September 30, 2025, global DAUq grew 19% compared to the prior year period, driven by 7% growth in DAUq in the United States and 31% growth in DAUq in the rest of world. Global DAUq grew 5% compared to the prior quarter period, driven by 3% growth in DAUq in the United States and 7% growth in DAUq in the rest of world. The growth in global DAUq in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year and prior quarter periods was primarily driven by product initiatives, particularly machine translation, and relatedly, third-party search engine and algorithm changes, as well as marketing.

Current wording

In the three months ended March 31, 2026, global DAUq grew 17% compared to the prior year period, driven by 7% growth in DAUq in the United States and 26% growth in DAUq in the rest of world. Global DAUq grew 4% compared to the prior quarter period, driven by 2% growth in DAUq in the United States and 6% growth in DAUq in the rest of world. The growth in global DAUq in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year and prior quarter periods, was primarily driven by the combination of third-party search engine algorithm changes and continued traction from our growth initiatives, particularly in machine translation, marketing, and product improvements.

Previous wording

We have a full valuation allowance against our United States deferred tax assets and will continue to maintain it until there is sufficient evidence to support the future utilization of these assets. Given our recent history of generating net income in the U.S., we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that sufficient positive evidence may become available within the next 18 months to allow us to release a significant portion of the U.S. valuation allowance. The reversal would result in a significant income tax benefit in the period when we release it. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change based on our actual operating results.
