America, Europe, and Rest of World.
- DAUs were up sequentially and year-over-year on each of iOS and

We continue to invest in our Discover platform, with a
particular focus on building a sustainable premium content
ecosystem:

increased by 40% year-over-year.
- In Q3 2019, more than 100 Discover channels reached a monthly
audience of over 10 million viewers.
- Our new horror-thriller Snap Original “Dead of Night” has
reached over 14 million unique viewers since its premiere in

We continue to build on our Snap Games platform to better

that can contain hundreds of thousands of products.

their Commercials campaigns, allowing Snapchatters to swipe up to
access a web page, view a long-form video, or view a Lens.
- The maximum duration of Snap Ads has been extended to enable
advertisers to tell more detailed brand stories through our video
ad products.
Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect our
expectations for the fourth quarter of 2019 as of October 22, 2019,
and are subject to substantial uncertainty. This guidance assumes,
among other things, that no business acquisitions, investments,
restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded in the quarter.
Our results are based on assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable as of this date, but may be materially affected by many
factors, as discussed below in “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Q4 2019 Outlook
- Revenue is expected to be between $540 million and $560
million, compared to $390 million in Q4 2018.
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between breakeven and $20
million, compared to $(50) million in Q4 2018.

2:00 p.m. Pacific / 5:00 p.m. Eastern today. The live audio webcast
along with supplemental information will be accessible at
investor.snap.com. A recording of the webcast will also be
available following the conference call.

Definitions
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and
equipment.
Common shares outstanding plus shares underlying stock-based
awards includes common shares outstanding, restricted stock units,
restricted stock awards, and outstanding stock options.
Adjusted EBITDA 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 and related payroll tax expense;
and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net
income (loss) from time to time.
A Daily Active User (DAU) is defined as a registered Snapchat
user who opens the Snapchat application 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.
Average revenue per user (ARPU) is defined as quarterly revenue
divided by the average DAUs.
A Monthly Active User (MAU) is defined as a registered Snapchat
user who opens the Snapchat application at least once during the
30-day period ending on the calendar month-end. We calculate
average Monthly Active Users for a particular quarter by
calculating the average of the MAUs as of each calendar month-end
in that quarter.
Addressable reach is defined as the approximate number of
Snapchat users that an ad could reach over a 28-day period in a
given locality. When we calculate the percentage of a demographic
group that can be reached, we do so by dividing addressable reach
by relevant census figures. Addressable reach and age data are
subject to limitations. For more information, see Snap’s SEC
filings and businesshelp.snapchat.com.
Note: For adjustments and additional information regarding the
non-GAAP financial measures and other items discussed, please see
“Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP
Financial Measures,” and “Supplemental Financial Information and
Business Metrics.”

expectations and projections about future events and trends that we
believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties related to: our financial

SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made

statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no

reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events,
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 and related payroll tax expense; and certain other non-cash
or non-recurring 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 loss,
which is defined as net income (loss); excluding amortization of
intangible assets; stock-based compensation expense and related
payroll tax expense; certain other non-cash or non-recurring items
impacting net income (loss) from time to time; and related income
tax adjustments. Non-GAAP net loss and weighted average diluted
shares are then used to calculate non-GAAP diluted net 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.”

(1)
Reduction in force charges in the first
quarter of 2018 were related to a reduction in force plan impacting
approximately 7% of our then global headcount, primarily in
engineering and sales. The charges are composed primarily of
severance expense and related payroll tax expense. These charges
are non-recurring and not reflective of underlying trends in our
business. Additionally, we recognized a stock-based compensation
forfeiture benefit of $31.5 million, which is included in the
stock-based compensation expense line item above.
(2)
Lease exit charges were related to our
exit of various operating leases prior to the end of the
contractual lease term, primarily as a result of moving to a
centralized corporate office located in Santa Monica, California.
We recorded a lease exit charge of $3.9 million in the second
quarter of 2018. The charge reflects the present value of our
remaining lease obligation on the cease use dates that occurred
during the quarter, net of sublease income. These charges are
non-recurring and not reflective of underlying trends in our
business.

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.
