Business Highlights
-
Daily Active Users (DAU) increased 8% to 188 million in Q2 2018,
compared to 173 million in Q2 2017, and decreased 2% in Q2 2018,
compared to 191 million in Q1 2018.
-
Average revenue per user (ARPU) increased 34% to $1.40 in Q2 2018,
compared to $1.05 in Q2 2017.
-
In Q2 2018, 11 Shows reached a monthly audience of over 10 million
users, up from 7 in Q1 2018.
-
We introduced Group Video Chat, which allows users to video chat with
up to 16 friends at one time.
-
We launched Snappables, new Lenses for sharing augmented reality
experiences with one or many friends. Users can control Snappables
using touch, motion, and facial expressions.
-
We released a new version of Spectacles, which has a smaller profile
and is water resistant. Users can record videos with improved audio as
well as press and hold to take a photo. Snaps captured transfer to
Snapchat in HD up to 4 times faster than the original version of
Spectacles.
-
We introduced Snap Kit (kit.snapchat.com) to help developers build
products powered by features of Snapchat. We have partnered with
companies such as Pandora and Tinder to make it possible for Snapchat
features to be shared within each of their platforms and on Snapchat.
-
Creative Kit helps developers integrate their own stickers,
filters, links, and other highlights right into the Snapchat
camera.
-
Login Kit lets users unlock new features on Snapchat and other
apps, or use their Snapchat account as a quick, secondary way to
log in.
-
Bitmoji Kit lets conversations come alive with Bitmoji stickers
when messaging on other apps.
-
Story Kit lets developers filter and embed publicly shared
Snapchat Stories into their own apps and services.
-
We introduced Lens Explorer, an easier way to discover and unlock
thousands of Lenses built by Snapchat users around the world. Since we
launched Lens Studio in late 2017, creators have submitted over
100,000 unique Lenses which have been viewed by Snapchat users over
3.5 billion times.
Advertising Highlights
-
We transitioned our Story Ad product from our managed ecosystem to our
programmatic auction.
-
Snap Pixel, which helps advertisers measure the cross-device impact of
their campaigns, is now available to all advertisers, regardless of
size. Since beta launch in Q4 2017, Snap Pixel has measured more than
100 million purchase events, 70 million of which were recorded in Q2
2018 alone as we released Snap Pixel globally.
-
We introduced updates to our self-serve platform to provide
performance-focused advertisers with a full-suite of tools needed to
optimize and measure their Snapchat campaigns. These updates include
the ability to bid on goals such as web conversions, return on ad
spend reporting, and conversion lift capabilities, effectively
rounding out our Snap Pixel offering.
-
We announced that advertisers can purchase Lens campaigns using our
Reach & Frequency tool in Ads Manager. This means that all of our
advertising formats – Snap Ads (including Story Ads) and Creative
Tools (Lenses and Filters) – are now available programmatically.
-
We launched two new initiatives to help our content creators monetize
via our programmatic marketplace. We brought Commercials, a
non-skippable 6-second Snap Ad that appears in Discover Shows, to Ads
Manager. We also launched our Private Marketplace, which is an
invite-only tool within Ads Manager that publishers can use to allow
specific advertisers to target their content.
-
We’ve provided more insights to advertisers by launching three new
initiatives for campaign planning and analysis. Audience Insights help
advertisers understand characteristics about Snap’s audience, which
they can now better target with our Advanced Location Targeting,
including location categories and point + radius, and then better
understand their performance with Delivery Insights.
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, 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 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 Daily Active Users 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.
ARPU is defined as quarterly revenue divided by the average Daily Active
Users.
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.
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.”
Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations for
the third quarter of 2018 as of August 7, 2018, 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.”
Q3 2018 Outlook
-
Revenue is expected to be between $265 million and $290 million,
growth of between 27% and 39% compared to Q3 2017.
-
Adjusted EBITDA loss is expected to be between $(185) million and
$(160) million, compared to $(179) million in Q3 2017.

with supplemental information will be accessible at investor.snap.com. A

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking” statements that are based
on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently
available to management. Forward-looking statements include statements
about guidance or expected financial metrics, such as revenue, non-GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures, and stock-based compensation, as
well as non-financial metrics, such as DAU, MAU, and video views. They
also include statements about our possible or assumed business
strategies, potential growth opportunities, new products, and potential
market opportunities.
Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not
historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “believe,”
“could,” “expect,” “potential,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions
and the negatives of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause
our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance, or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks
include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to: our
limited operating history, our lack of profitability to date, changes to
our business model, our ability to monetize our products, the highly
competitive and rapidly changing market for internet and advertising
companies, user reception of changes to existing products,
infrastructure costs, our ability to create new and innovative products,
our ability to maintain users and manage any future user growth,
litigation, and our international expansion strategies. Additional risks
and uncertainties that could affect our financial results are included
in the section titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018,
which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Additional information will be made available in Snap Inc.’s quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 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. Except as
required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking
statements, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially
from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
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 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 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 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 during the first quarter of 2018 were
related to a reduction in force plan we implemented during March 2018,
impacting approximately 7% of our 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. We expect to incur total lease exit
charges of approximately $25 million to $45 million in 2018, primarily
in the third quarter, based on current exit plans. These charges are
non-recurring and not reflective of underlying trends in our business.

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.
