Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Description of Business

Description of Business

Reddit, Inc. (“Reddit,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our mission is to bring community, belonging, and empowerment to everyone in the world. We built Reddit with the belief that communities unlock the power of human creativity and create a sense of belonging and empowerment for their members. We believe the world needs community more than ever, and that this represents our greatest opportunity to further enrich the lives of everyone in the world. We are headquartered in San Francisco, California, and have several offices around the world.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Interim Financial Information

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial information. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reddit, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. Accordingly, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our final prospectus, dated March 20, 2024, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on March 21, 2024 (the “Prospectus”) in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”). The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and reflect, in our opinion, all the adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other period.

Other than described below, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Prospectus that have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Initial Public Offering

On March 20, 2024, our IPO was declared effective and our Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on March 21, 2024. On March 25, 2024, we completed our IPO in which we issued and sold 18,576,527 shares of Class A common stock, including 3,300,000 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in full of their over-allotment option, and excluding 6,723,473 shares of Class A common stock sold in the IPO by certain of our existing stockholders, at a public offering price of $34.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $600.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $31.6 million. In connection with the closing of the IPO, all shares of our then-outstanding convertible preferred stock other than Series F-1 preferred stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 67,917,432 shares of Class B common stock and all then-outstanding shares of Series F-1 preferred stock automatically converted into 5,104,017 shares of Class A common stock. Following the IPO, we have three classes of authorized common stock — Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock.

Certain of our restricted stock units granted to employees included both service-based and performance-based vesting conditions (“Double Trigger RSUs”). The performance condition related to these awards was satisfied upon the effectiveness of the IPO. Upon the effectiveness of the IPO, we recognized $534.7 million of stock-based compensation expense. To meet the related tax withholding requirements, we withheld 4,861,113 shares of the 10,502,390 shares of Class A common stock issued and 723,341 shares of the 1,347,456 shares of Class B common stock issued. Based on the IPO public offering price of $34.00 per share, the tax withholding obligation was $189.9 million.

In connection with our IPO, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation (“Restated Certificate”) which authorized 2,340,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 2,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 140,000,000

(unaudited)

shares of Class B common stock, 100,000,000 shares of Class C common stock, and 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management’s estimates are based on historical information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates relate primarily to determining the fair value of stock-based awards, the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, and the incremental borrowing rate used to determine operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates our estimates compared to historical experience and trends, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

Functional Currency

Generally, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our subsidiaries, and therefore, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date and foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement and settlements are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Net foreign exchange gains and losses were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

On January 1, 2024, we changed the functional currency of our U.K. subsidiary, Reddit UK Limited, from the U.S. dollar to the British pound. The change in functional currency is due primarily to the increased exposure to the British pound as our future operating cash flows for our U.K. subsidiary are expected to be in British pounds. We translate the financial statements of the U.K. subsidiary to U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and at monthly average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders' equity (deficit). The change in the functional currency of Reddit UK Limited was accounted for prospectively from January 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Offering Costs

Prior to our IPO, deferred offering costs, which consist of direct incremental legal, accounting, consulting, and other fees related to the IPO, were capitalized in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. After the IPO, the deferred offering costs were reclassified into additional paid-in capital as an offset against IPO proceeds. Deferred offering costs included in other noncurrent assets were $16.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with several financial institutions. We believe that the financial institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risks exist with respect to these balances. We maintain investments in U.S. and non-U.S. government securities, investment-grade corporate and government agency securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and money market accounts that carry high credit ratings and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards at the time when adoption of such standards is required for public companies that are non-emerging growth companies.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which our total annual gross revenue is at least $1.235 billion, or (c) when we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. All disclosure requirements of this standard are required for entities with a single reportable segment. This standard is effective for us in the annual period beginning January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 250-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, which requires an entity to measure crypto assets at fair value at each reporting period with changes recognized in net income. This standard also requires additional disclosures about the types of crypto assets held by entities and the changes in those holdings. The standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an entity to disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This standard also requires certain disaggregated disclosures related to income from continuing operations, income tax expense, and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations in contracts with an original expected duration exceeding one year is $320.3 million. This amount consists primarily of long-term data licensing contracts and excludes deferred revenue related to short-term advertising contracts and Reddit Premium subscriptions. We expect to recognize $58.3 million in the remainder of 2024, $118.2 million in 2025, and the remaining thereafter.

4. Net Income (Loss) per Share

We compute net income (loss) per share of Class A and Class B common stock using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. Prior to the IPO, our participating securities included Series A, Series A-1, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series D-1, Series E, Series F, and Series F-1 convertible preferred stock, as the holders of these series of preferred stock were entitled to receive noncumulative dividends subject to certain requirements at an annual rate of 8% of the respective original issue price then in effect in the event that a dividend was paid on common stock.

In connection with our IPO, our Series A, Series A-1, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series D-1, Series E, and Series F preferred stock converted on a one-to-one basis into 67,917,432 shares of Class B common stock, and our Series F-1 preferred stock converted on a one-to-one basis into 5,104,017 shares of Class A common stock. These shares are weighted in the denominator of net income (loss) per share for Class A and Class B common stock for the portion of the time outstanding subsequent to our IPO.

The holders of Series A, Series A-1, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series D-1, Series E, Series F, and Series F-1 convertible preferred stock did not have a contractual obligation to share in our losses. As such, our net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were not allocated to these participating securities.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stock:


	Three months ended June 30,							Six months ended June 30,
	2024				2023					2024			2023
	Class A		Class B			Class A		Class B			Class A			Class B		Class A		Class B

Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding	49,386,912		114,995,824			7,047,807		51,460,350			30,317,800			86,993,814		6,873,912		51,438,626

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, basic and diluted shares were the same as there were no securities that were dilutive.

The following outstanding potentially dilutive shares, including stock options that have been exercised prior to vesting, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stock for the periods presented because the impact of including them would have been anti-dilutive.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets

We classify our cash equivalents and marketable securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because we use quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value. There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented.

The following table sets forth our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


		June 30, 2024

8. Debt

Revolving Line of Credit

On October 8, 2021, we entered into a five-year, $750.0 million, revolving loan and standby letter of credit facility agreement (“Revolving Credit Facility”) of which $100.0 million can be issued as letters of credit. As of June 30, 2024, we have issued two letters of credit, one of which is denominated in a foreign currency, for an aggregate of $4.9 million, which reduced the letter of credit borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility to $95.1 million. The aggregate available balance under the Revolving Credit Facility was $745.1 million as of June 30, 2024.

On May 23, 2023, we amended the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as the interest rate benchmark. Under the amended terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, borrowings can be either ABR Loans, Term Benchmark Loans, or SONIA Loans. Outstanding ABR Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the greatest of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the NYFRB Rate plus 0.5%, (C) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus 1.0%, or (D) 1.0% (each as defined in the amended Revolving Credit Facility), in each case plus 0.25%. Outstanding Term Benchmark Loans bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, or the Adjusted AUD Rate (each as defined in the amended Revolving Credit Facility), as applicable, in each case, plus 1.25%. Outstanding SONIA Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA (as such term is defined in the amended Revolving Credit Facility) plus 1.25%. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee that accrues at 0.15% per annum on the unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the credit facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary conditions on our borrowing, including 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 preferred and common stock, make investments, or engage in transactions with our affiliates, and require us to maintain a minimum liquidity. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets, including intellectual property assets. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

We enter into contracts with non-cancellable purchase obligations, primarily related to third-party cloud infrastructure agreements under which we are granted access to certain cloud services. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no material changes outside the normal course of business to the purchase obligations as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Prospectus.

Legal Matters and Indemnifications

Please refer to the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Prospectus for details on legal proceedings and indemnifications. There were no material changes to legal matters or indemnifications during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

10. Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)

Class A, Class B, and Class C Common Stock

We have three classes of authorized common stock — Class A, Class B, and Class C common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. Shares of Class B common stock may be converted to Class A common stock at any time at the option of the stockholder. In addition, each share of Class B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock (i) upon any transfer, except for certain permitted transfers set forth in the Restated Certificate, including transfers to family members, certain trusts for estate planning purposes, entities under common control with or controlled by such holder of our Class B common stock, and with respect to Advance Magazine Publishers Inc., or any Advance Entity (as defined in the Restated Certificate), or (ii) upon the first date on which the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock ceases to represent at least 7.5% of the aggregate number of then-outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock. Once converted into Class A common stock, the Class B common stock will not be reissued. In connection with our IPO, the Restated

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Certificate became effective, which authorized 100,000,000 shares of Class C common stock. Each holder of Class C common stock is entitled to no votes per share.

Preferred Stock

Immediately prior to the completion of our IPO, all of our then-outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 5,104,017 and 67,917,432 shares of our Class A and Class B common stock, respectively.

In connection with our IPO, the Restated Certificate became effective, which authorized 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges, and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.

Common Stock Reserved for Issuance

In February 2024, our board of directors adopted the 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which became effective in connection with the IPO. Under the 2024 Plan, 31,747,592 shares of our Class A common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, performance bonus awards, performance stock unit awards, dividend equivalents, or other stock or cash based awards. The 2024 Plan also includes shares of our Class A common stock that remained available for grant of future awards under our 2017 Equity Incentive and Grant Plan (as amended, the "2017 Plan") at the time the 2024 Plan became effective. Following the effective date of our IPO, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan will increase by an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2025 and ending in 2034, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding year and (B) such smaller number of shares of stock as determined by our board of directors; provided, however, that no more than 185,735,952 shares of stock may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options.

We have reserved the following shares of common stock, on an as-converted basis, for future issuance:


	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Outstanding stock options	25,497,896	29,795,909
Outstanding RSUs	13,897,380	27,627,171
Conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock	—	73,021,449
Remaining shares reserved for future issuances under the 2017 Plan	—	7,919,000
Remaining shares reserved for future issuances under the 2024 Plan	37,669,497	—
Shares reserved for community impact initiatives and charitable activities	1,337,205	1,337,205
Total shares of common stock reserved	78,401,978	139,700,734

The remaining shares reserved for future issuance under the 2024 Plan relate to Class A and Class B common stock.

12. Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, we update the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment in such period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, income tax expense (benefit) was immaterial. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our remaining federal and state deferred tax assets.
