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. 14#15Appendix#16Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation - - Quarterly (in thousands, unaudited) 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 and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation Restructuring charges¹ Adjusted EBITDA² Free Cash Flow Reconciliation Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities Less: Purchases of property and equipment Free Cash Flow³ $ $ $ $ June 30, 2022 (422,067) (8,331) 5,549 16,910 6,999 79,291 318,810 10,029 7,190 June 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 $ $ (124,081) $ (359,502) (23,370) (147,451) $ (18,445) 5,425 (71,961) 9,241 34,068 312,690 September 30, 2022 6,561 154,563 72,640 55,945 $ $ $ (37,836) 18,109 $ Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 (288,460) (28,698) 5,312 20,043 4,206 34,975 446,339 5,172 34,386 233,275 125,291 $ Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 (46,925) 78,366 $ $ $ (328,674) (37,948) 5,885 (11,372) 6,845 35,220 314,931 15,926 813 March 31, 2023 151,102 $ $ $ (47,630) 103,472 $ June 30, 2023 (377,308) (43,144) 5,343 (1,323) 12,093 39,688 317,943 8,229 (38,479) June 30, 2023 September 30, 2023 $ $ (81,936) $ (368,256) (36,943) (118,879) $ (43,839) 5,521 20,662 5,849 41,209 353,846 September 30, 2023 6,463 18,639 40,094 12,781 (73,435) (60,654) 'Restructuring charges were composed primarily of severance and related charges of $91 million and $6 million in Q3 2022 and Q4 2022, respectively, stock-based compensation expense, lease exit and related charges, impairment charges, contract termination charges, and intangible asset amortization.

Constant currency revenue is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP revenue in the current period translated using the prior period average monthly exchange rates for revenue transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We calculate the constant currency revenue percentage change using current period constant currency revenue and prior period GAAP revenue. We report revenue on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, which we believe is helpful to investors. However, constant currency revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure, may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and i not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Numbers throughout presentation may not foot due to rounding. 2#18Note 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 technical issues 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. 3#19Note Regarding User Metrics and Other Data (Continued) 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. 4
