Q4 2023 Outlook
As we enter Q4, we anticipate continued growth in our global community and, as a result, our financial forecast for Q4 is
built on the assumption that DAU will reach 410 million to 412 million. We believe we are on the right path with our
direct-response advertising platform and are focused on executing against our roadmap to deliver further
improvements. That said, forward visibility of advertising demand remains limited due to several factors. First, revenue in
Q4 is historically backweighted, and the revenue mix in Q4 has historically included a relatively higher share from brand
advertising revenue, and brand advertising grew at a slower rate than direct-response advertising in Q3. In addition, we
observed pauses in spending from a large number of primarily brand-oriented advertising campaigns immediately
following the onset of the war in the Middle East, and this has been a headwind to revenue quarter-to-date. While some
of these campaigns have now resumed, and the impact on our revenue has partially diminished, we continue to observe
new pauses and the risk that these pauses could persist or increase in magnitude remains. Due to the unpredictable
nature of war, we believe it would be imprudent to provide formal guidance for Q4. Our internal forecast assumes a
revenue range of $1,320 million to $1,375 million, implying year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 2% to 6%.
Within this range of revenue, we estimate that adjusted EBITDA will be between $65 million and $105 million.
