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, 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 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, 2025 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 the valuation of deferred tax assets, 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.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which we expect the differences to reverse. We establish valuation allowances to reduce the total deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including past operating results and estimates of future taxable income. Our judgment regarding the timing and amount of the valuation allowance release is subject to change based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the level of profitability (income before income taxes adjusted for permanent differences) that we are able to accurately forecast, as well as the amount of our tax deductible stock-based compensation, which is dependent upon our publicly traded share price, and macroeconomic conditions, among other factors. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our

Reddit, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

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, time deposits, commercial paper, and money market accounts that carry high credit ratings and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.

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.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which aims to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs to better align with current software development practices by removing references to prescriptive software development stages and establishing a new principle for when to begin capitalizing such costs. The standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2028. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

(1)Other than the United States, no individual country represented 10% or more of total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Deferred revenue was $38.6 million and $18.1 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 included substantially all of the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective period.

As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations in contracts with an original expected duration exceeding one year was $92.1 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 $62.0 million in the remainder of 2026 and $30.1 million in 2027.

4. Net Income per Share

We compute net income per share of Class A and Class B common stock using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock. Holders of our Class A and Class B common stock have identical rights except with respect to voting, conversion, and transfer rights, and therefore share equally in our net income or losses.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income 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

Reddit, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

  • 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 tables set forth our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

8. Debt

Revolving Line of Credit

On July 1, 2025, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guarantee Agreement, which amended and restated our prior Credit and Guarantee Agreement dated October 8, 2021 (as amended on May 23, 2023), and provides for a five-year, $500.0 million, revolving loan and standby letter of credit facility (“Revolving 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. As of June 30, 2026, we have issued four letters of credit, three of which are denominated in a foreign currency, for an aggregate of $5.6 million, which reduced the letter of credit borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility to $94.4 million. The aggregate available balance under the Revolving Credit Facility was $494.4 million as of June 30, 2026.

Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, borrowings can be ABR Loans, Term Benchmark Loans, or RFR 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%, or (C) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus 1.0% (each as defined in the 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, the Adjusted Term CORRA Rate, or the Adjusted AUD Rate (each as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), as applicable, in each case plus 1.25%. Outstanding RFR Loans bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR (as such term is defined in the 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 Revolving 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 adhere to a maximum total leverage ratio. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets, including intellectual property assets. However, the Revolving Credit Facility provides for the permanent release of guarantees and collateral upon our achievement of certain investment grade ratings. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2026.

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, 2026, there were no material changes outside the normal course of business to our purchase obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025. In June 2026, we signed an addendum to extend our cloud services agreement with AWS through 2029. We committed under this agreement to spend an aggregate of $880.0 million between July 2026 and June 2029. We have met all minimum purchase commitments under these agreements during the periods presented.

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.

In February 2026, the United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office (“UK ICO”) issued a penalty notice under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, which includes a fine of GBP £14.5 million. We are challenging the UK ICO’s findings in an appeal of the penalty notice.

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, 2026. Legal fees and other expenses associated with such matters are expensed as incurred.

10. Stockholders' Equity

Share Repurchase Program

On February 4, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to purchase up to $1.0 billion of our Class A common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares of our Class A common stock from time to time on the open market (including via pre-set trading plans), in privately negotiated transactions, or through other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock, has no expiration date, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 1,523,502 shares of Class A common stock for $239.6 million. As of June 30, 2026, $760.4 million remained available for repurchases.

We immediately retire shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program and reduce our Class A common stock component of stockholders’ equity by the par value of repurchased shares. The excess of the repurchase price over par value for shares repurchased is recorded to additional paid-in capital.

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 our initial public offering in March 2024. 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.

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

June 30, 2026December 31, 2025
Outstanding stock options9,992,56810,852,131

Stock-based compensation expense$100,952$89,070$169,288$174,484

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, 2026 and 2025, income tax expense (benefit) was immaterial.

We have a full valuation allowance against our United States federal and state deferred tax assets and will continue to maintain it until there is sufficient evidence to support the future utilization of these assets. Given our recent history of generating net income in the United States, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that sufficient positive evidence may become available within the next 12 months to allow us to release a significant portion of the valuation allowance in the United States. The reversal would result in a significant income tax benefit in the period when we release it. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the level of profitability (income before income taxes adjusted for permanent differences) that we are able to accurately forecast, as well as the amount of our tax deductible stock-based compensation, which is dependent upon our publicly traded share price, and macroeconomic conditions, among other factors.

13. Related Parties and Related-Party Transactions

Advance Magazine Publishers Inc.

As of June 30, 2026, Advance Magazine Publishers Inc. (“Advance”) held approximately 22% of our outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common stock and is a related party to Reddit as Advance holds more than 10% of the voting power of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. There have been no changes to the terms of the agreements that govern Advance’s rights as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our Annual Report.

We currently sublease office space in New York and Chicago from Advance. Total lease costs and other related expenses for our subleases were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
