The company reported total revenue of USD 584.9 million, marking a 68% year-over-year increase, driven primarily by growth in advertising revenue. Gross margin improved to 91.0%, reflecting higher operational efficiency and better monetization of user engagement. The quarter concluded with a net income of USD 162.7 million, translating to a 28% net margin, a significant improvement from the prior year’s results.

Logged-in and logged-out users grew 14% and 24%, respectively, illustrating deepening engagement and expanded reach across demographics and geographies.

The integration of AI-powered tools such as Reddit Answers and improved moderation utilities fostered community engagement and efficiency. Over 3,000 communities have now adopted new moderator tools, leading to a 30% increase in active moderation activity. These enhancements have strengthened Reddit’s positioning as a platform for authentic, human-centered conversations.
  • Advertising and International Expansion: Advertising revenue rose 74% year-over-year to USD 549 million, driven by higher ad impressions and improved pricing. The company expanded automation across its ad stack, optimizing lower-funnel objectives through advanced machine learning models that improved conversion rates and app installs. International markets emerged as a major growth lever, with revenue outside the United States increasing 74% year-over-year. Local partnerships and regional campaigns in India, France, and the U.K. amplified community participation and brand engagement, contributing to the company’s global growth trajectory.
  • Liquidity, Cash Flow, and Outlook: Reddit demonstrated strong cash flow generation, reporting USD 185 million in operating cash flow and USD 183 million in free cash flow, both improving over USD 110 million year-over-year.
