All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, user growth and engagement, product initiatives, and objectives of management for future operations, and the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the economy as a whole, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "going to," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will," or "would" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends, including our financial outlook and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those described in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our most recent periodic report filed with the SEC, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

We expanded our offering for advertisers: Our first party measurement solutions are now enabled for advertisers that represent more than 75% of our Direct Response revenue. We rolled out multi-format delivery of ad creatives, allowing advertisers to utilize a single ad set across multiple ad formats, and for Snap to optimize delivery. ● • We released seven new courses in Snap Focus, our learning portal for marketers, covering topics from general campaign optimization and brand safety to privacy-centric measurement solutions such as Advanced Conversions. We launched Catalog-powered Shopping Lenses, which provide real-time results for brands on SKU-level augmented reality product engagement, and introduced a new AR try-on shopping interface for Snapchatters. • Cosmetics company MAC utilized our self-service Lens Web Builder tool, which is now broadly available to all beauty brands, to build several AR try-on makeup Lenses.

This guidance assumes constant foreign currency rates and, among other things, that no business acquisitions, divestitures, investments, exits, 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 in "Forward-Looking Statements & Non-GAAP Financial Measures." Q1 2022 Outlook Revenue is estimated to be between $1,030 million and $1,080 million. • Adjusted EBITDA is estimated to be approximately breakeven. 21#22Appendix#23Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation - Quarterly (in thousands, unaudited) Free Cash Flow Reconciliation Net cash used in operating activities Less: Purchases of property and equipment Free Cash Flow¹ Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation Net income (loss) Add (deduct): Interest income Interest expense Other (income) expense, net Income tax (benefit) expense Depreciation and amortization Stock-based compensation expense Payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation Adjusted EBITDA² September 30, 2020 $ $ $ (54,828) $ September 30, 2020 $ (14,727) (69,555) $ December 31, 2020 (199,853) S (2,801) 28,212 5,669 909 21,804 192,080 10,341 56,361 $ (52,545) S (16,447) (68,992) $ December 31, 2020 (113,099) S (1,969) 29,176 (29,471) 18,127 22,811 219,882 20,152 165,609 $ Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 136,886 $ (10,851) 126,035 $ Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (286,882) S (1,137) 5,031 (22,058) 1,440 23,498 237,073 41,326 June 30, 2021 (1,709) $ (101,086) S (14,623) (115,709) $ June 30, 2021 (151,664) $ (1,251) 4,564 (42,282) (1,879) 28,270 256,600 25,045 117,403 $ September 30, 2021 71,552 (19,836) 51,716 $ September 30, 2021 $ (71,959) $ (1,257) 4,031 (112,631) 992 32,510 300,898 21,615 174,199 $ December 31, 2021 185,528 (24,565) 160,963 December 31, 2021 22,550 (1,554) 4,050 (63,204) 13,031 34,863 297,564 19,493 326,793 ¹ We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. 2We define Adjusted EBITDA 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 other payroll related tax expense; and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time.

Numbers throughout presentation may not foot due to rounding. 3#26Note Regarding User Metrics and Other Data We define a Daily Active User, or DAU, 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. DAUs are broken out by geography because markets have different characteristics. We define average revenue per user, or ARPU, as quarterly revenue divided by the average DAUS. For purposes of calculating ARPU, revenue by user geography 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 differs from our components of revenue disclosure in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, where revenue is based on the billing address of the advertising customer. Unless otherwise stated, statistical information regarding our users and their activities is determined by calculating the daily average of the selected activity for the most recently completed quarter. While these metrics are determined based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates of our user base for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring how our products are used across large populations globally. For example, there may be individuals who have unauthorized or multiple Snapchat accounts, even though we forbid that in our Terms of Service and implement measures to detect and suppress that behavior. We have not determined the number of such multiple accounts. Changes in our products, infrastructure, mobile operating systems, or metric tracking system, or the introduction of new products, may impact our ability to accurately determine active users or other metrics and we may not determine such inaccuracies promptly. We also believe that we don't capture all data regarding each of our active users. Technical issues may result in data not being recorded from every user's application. For example, because some Snapchat features can be used without internet connectivity, we may not count a DAU because we don't receive timely notice that a user has opened the Snapchat application. This undercounting may increase as we grow in Rest of World markets where users may have poor connectivity. We do not adjust our reported metrics to reflect this underreporting. We believe that we have adequate controls to collect user metrics, however, there is no uniform industry standard. We continually seek to identify these technical issues and improve both our accuracy and precision, including ensuring that our investors and others can understand the factors impacting our business, but these and new issues may continue in the future, including if there continues to be no uniform industry standard. Some of our demographic data may be incomplete or inaccurate. For example, because users self-report their dates of birth, our age-demographic data may differ from our users' actual ages. And because users who signed up for Snapchat before June 2013 were not asked to supply their date of birth, we may exclude those users from our age demographics or estimate their ages based on a sample of the self-reported ages that we do have. If our active users provide us with incorrect or incomplete information regarding their age or other attributes, then our estimates may prove inaccurate and fail to meet investor expectations. 4#27Note Regarding User Metrics and Other Data (Continued) In the past we have relied on third-party analytics providers to calculate our metrics, but today we rely primarily on our analytics platform that we developed and operate. We count a DAU only when a user opens the application and only once per user per day. We believe this methodology more accurately measures our user engagement. We have multiple pipelines of user data that we use to determine whether a user has opened the application during a particular day, and becoming a DAU. This provides redundancy in the event one pipeline of data were to become unavailable for technical reasons, and also gives us redundant data to help measure how users interact with our application. If we fail to maintain an effective analytics platform, our metrics calculations may be inaccurate. We regularly review, have adjusted in the past, and are likely in the future to adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy. As a result of such adjustments, our DAUs or other metrics may not be comparable to those in prior periods. Our measures of DAUs may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics of our competitors due to differences in methodology or data used. 5
