Q4 2024 Summary & Key Highlights

We deepened engagement with our community:

DAUs were 453 million in Q4 2024, an increase of 39 million, or 9% year-over-year.
More than one billion Snaps were shared publicly on Snapchat every month in Q4 from our community, creators, and media partners.
We continue to support and grow the number of creators in our Snap Star program, which led to an over 40% year-over-year increase in the number of creators posting content on Snapchat in Q4.
We launched new Bitmoji stickers showcasing the latest trends for Snapchatters to react and express themselves visually.
We announced new location sharing features in Family Center, our in-app hub for parental tools and resources, making it easier than ever for families to stay connected while out and about.

We are focused on accelerating and diversifying our revenue growth:

Ongoing momentum with our direct response products and growth in small- and medium-size businesses contributed to total active advertisers more than doubling year-over-year in Q4.
In Q4, Sponsored Snaps and Promoted Places grew the number of unique Snapchatters reached by advertising partners, delivering a 30% increase in reach on average in the US.
Other Revenue, the majority of which is Snapchat+ subscription revenue, grew 131% year-over-year in 2024 and exited the year with an annualized revenue run rate well over $500 million.
We launched new and early access Snapchat+ features including Footsteps, which helps Snapchatters keep track of the places they’ve visited on the Snap Map and new app themes and custom backgrounds.
We announced our new unified Monetization Program for creators that allows eligible creators to monetize Spotlight videos, building on our Stories Revenue Share Program that helps creators monetize their Stories.
We launched our first branded Dreams AI Lens with partners like Uber Eats and Tinder, and the immersive experience led to increased engagement compared to standard Lenses.

We invested in our augmented reality platform:

Over 200 million Spotlight videos have been created this year featuring Lenses made by our talented community of Lens Creators.
More than 400 million Snapchatters engaged with new Gen AI Lenses more than 4 billion times in Q4.

We are building the next generation AR operating system for Spectacles:

We launched a new version of Snap OS, which includes new Lenses that showcase the power of the Spectacles camera and SnapML, as well as platform features and capabilities to better build and experiment.
We introduced new first-party Lenses that help our community learn how to play piano through interactive courses and practice soccer shots through SnapML tracking models, and games that can be played with family and friends.
Developers have already built advanced Lenses for Snap OS that help our community master the art of calligraphy, make better shots in pool, and turn outdoor walks into interactive adventures.
We introduced more than a dozen new developer tools, including an Image Spatialization API that leverages generative AI to convert 2D images into 3D, and Spectacles Sync Kit, an improved framework that makes it easier for developers to build shared AR experiences with a new Typescript package.
We expanded Spectacles’ availability beyond the United States to developers in six new countries: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain.
We announced Challenge Tags, a new way for Snap AR developers to be rewarded for their creativity by submitting Lenses which are judged on their originality, technical excellence, and theme focus.
To ensure Spectacles is accessible to students, teachers, and staff from colleges and universities across the world, we introduced educational pricing and a special student discount for a subscription fee of $49.50 or €55 a month.

All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, future stock repurchase programs or stock dividends, business strategy and plans, user growth and engagement, product initiatives, objectives of management for future operations, and advertiser and partner offerings, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "going to," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will," or "would" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. We caution you that the foregoing may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this press release.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this press release primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends, including our financial outlook, macroeconomic uncertainty, and geo-political events and conflicts, that we believe may continue to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties related to: our financial performance; our ability to attain and sustain profitability; our ability to generate and sustain positive cash flow; our ability to attract and retain users, partners, and advertisers; competition and new market entrants; managing our growth and future expenses; compliance with new laws, regulations, and executive actions; our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property; our ability to succeed in existing and new market segments; our ability to attract and retain qualified team members and key personnel; our ability to repay or refinance outstanding debt, or to access additional financing; future acquisitions, divestitures, or investments; and the potential adverse impact of climate change, natural disasters, health epidemics, macroeconomic conditions, and war or other armed conflict, as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our most recent periodic report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made available in our periodic report that will be filed with the SEC for the period covered by this press release and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, including future developments related to geo-political events and conflicts and macroeconomic conditions, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in our business and is a key financial indicator used by management. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss), excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation; and certain other items impacting net income (loss) from time to time. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of non-GAAP net income (loss), which is defined as net income (loss), excluding amortization of intangible assets; stock-based compensation expense; payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation; certain other items impacting net income (loss) from time to time; and related income tax adjustments specific to the non-GAAP adjustments in the current period. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and weighted average diluted shares are then used to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, we believe these measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses we exclude in the measure.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Restructuring charges during 2024 are primarily related to cash severance, stock-based compensation expense, and other charges associated with the 2024 restructuring. Restructuring charges in 2023 relating to the wind down of our AR Enterprise business were composed primarily of cash severance, stock-based compensation expense, and charges related to the revision of the useful lives and disposal of certain acquired intangible assets. Additionally, we recognized an income tax benefit of $5.7 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 relating to the wind down, which is included in the income tax (benefit) expense line item above. These charges are not reflective of underlying trends in our business.

(1)		Total revenue for geographic reporting is apportioned to each region based on our determination of the geographic location in which advertising impressions are delivered, as this approximates revenue based on user activity. This allocation is consistent with how we determine ARPU.
(2)		We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP revenue.
