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 empower communities and make their knowledge accessible to everyone. 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 related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 13, 2025 (our “Annual Report”). 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 as 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 and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report that have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
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. For those foreign subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, we translate the financial statements 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). Net foreign exchange gains and losses were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025. Adoption of this standard will result in additional disclosures in our annual consolidated financial statements, but did not impact these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires an entity to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on our disclosures.

As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations in contracts with an original expected duration exceeding one year was $194.9 million. This amount consists primarily of long-term content licensing contracts and excludes deferred revenue related to short-term advertising contracts and Reddit Premium subscriptions. We expect to recognize $57.0 million in the remainder of 2025, $113.8 million in 2026, and $24.1 million in 2027.
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 our initial public offering (“IPO”) in March 2024, 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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 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 following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stock:

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:

7. Acquisitions
2024 Acquisition
On July 15, 2024, we completed an acquisition to enhance our technology and workforce. The aggregate purchase consideration was $19.9 million, which consisted of $17.1 million of cash consideration and $2.8 million related to the fair value of equity consideration. Additional consideration with a fair value of $10.7 million was determined to relate to post-combination expenses, primarily stock-based compensation for future employment services.
Of the aggregate purchase consideration, $4.3 million was allocated to developed technology with a useful life of three years, $15.9 million was allocated to goodwill, and the remainder was allocated to other assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill amount represents synergies from utilizing the acquired technology across our business and from the assembled workforce. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

9. 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, 2025, we have issued two letters of credit, one of which is denominated in a foreign currency, for an aggregate of $5.2 million, which reduced the letter of credit borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility to $94.8 million. The aggregate available balance under the Revolving Credit Facility was $744.8 million as of June 30, 2025.
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 borrowings, 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, 2025.
On July 1, 2025, we signed a renewal of the Revolving Credit Facility, which amended and restated certain terms of the agreement. Under the amended terms of the Revolving Credit Facility (“Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), we will have access to a five-year, $500.0 million, revolving loan and standby letter of credit facility, of which $100.0 million can be issued as letters of credit and another $100.0 million of which can be borrowed in certain non-U.S. dollar currencies. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility also includes some changes to other terms, primarily relating to interest rates and covenants, from the Revolving Credit Facility.
10. 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, 2025, 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, 2024 included in the Annual Report.
Legal Matters and Indemnifications
From time to time, we may become involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings, claims or purported class actions related to, among other things, alleged infringement of third party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, wage and hour and other claims arising in the normal course of business. We record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible.
In June 2025, we and certain of our officers and directors were named as defendants in a securities class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit is brought on behalf of a purported class of purchasers or acquirers of our securities, alleging that we and certain of our officers made false or misleading statements and omissions concerning the impact of Google Search and its AI Overviews feature on our business. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees. Subsequently, shareholder derivative complaints with similar allegations were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, its directors, and members of our senior management. No responses to these complaints have been filed. Based on the preliminary nature of the proceedings in these cases, the outcome of these matters remains uncertain.
Accounting for contingencies requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. We are not aware of any other pending matters, individually or in the aggregate, that are expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows as of June 30, 2025. Legal fees and other expenses associated with such matters are expensed as incurred.
11. Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
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, shares of our Class A common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance bonus awards, performance stock unit awards, dividend equivalents, or other stock or cash based awards.

13. 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, 2025 and 2024, income tax expense (benefit) was immaterial. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our remaining federal and state deferred tax assets.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law.

We are currently analyzing the impact that the OBBBA will have on our consolidated financial statements.
