Q1 2022 Summary & Key Highlights
The Snapchat community is active, engaged, and growing:
- DAUs were 332 million in Q1 2022, an increase of 52 million, or 18%, year-over-year.
- DAUs increased sequentially and year-over-year in each of North America, Europe, and Rest of World.
We invested and innovated in our augmented reality platform:
- Over 250 million Snapchatters engaged with augmented reality every day on average.
- Snapchatters engaged with Valentine’s Day Lenses over 9 billion times, which is more than twice as much as last year.
- Snapchatters played with Lenses created by our community more than twice as much compared with Q1 2021.
- We launched Custom Landmarkers in Lens Studio, allowing creators to build location-based Lenses to anchor Lenses to local places they care about–from statues to storefronts–to tell richer stories about their communities through AR.
- In partnership with Tukwini Mandela and Black Cultural Archives, we released our “Hidden Black Stories” Local Lens, transforming Trafalgar Square into an AR experience that showcases key moments, figures, and stories from Black British History.
- To celebrate Lunar New Year, we released an AR Lens showcasing the first independent Asian-American bookshop in New York City as well as a Lens using our Sky Segmentation technology to overlay a tiger jumping through the clouds.
We grew our content offerings:
- Total daily time spent by Snapchatters aged 25 and older engaging with shows and publisher content increased by more than 25% year-over-year.
- We expanded our global content offering by partnering with News UK, TF1 and Le Monde in France, and MBC and Al Arabiya in the Middle East.
- We recently announced Dynamic Stories, a new Discover format that allows publishers to automatically create Stories based on news they publish online to help Snapchatters learn about the world as it happens–early partners include GQ, Vogue, CNN, ESPN, and The Wall Street Journal.
- Six Discover partners reached over 100 million global viewers each in Q1 2022.
- Over 10 million viewers have watched “Breakwater,” our new Snap Original about a dystopian future caused by climate change that featured episodic AR Lenses in partnership with Verizon, helping Snapchatters to immerse themselves in the show.
- We observed a 350% increase in the number of Spotlight submissions using creative tools or Lenses compared with Q1 2021.
We expanded our product and partner ecosystem:
- In Q1 2022, Snapchatters opened Places from the Snap Map more than twice as much as Q1 2021.
- We released Live Location, a new safety feature for our Snap Map that allows users to share their precise location with a chosen list of friends and family for a specified duration.
- We added several new features to our Communications platform, including Chat Replies, Bitmoji Reactions, and Poll Stickers.
- We partnered with Discover publisher Wave Sports + Entertainment to launch their Gym Heroes Mini, a social fitness experience on Snapchat that offers original daily fitness challenges and full workouts curated by experts.
- We introduced Outfit Sharing, making it easier for Snapchatters to share their Bitmoji outfits with friends directly from their Profile.
We expanded our offering for advertisers:
- Online retail platform GOAT uploaded two AR shoe try-on Lenses to its Public Profile, and saw over 1 million plays in the first week alone.
- Revenue from Dynamic Ads more than tripled year-over-year, as we have increasingly seen advertisers leverage their product catalogs to automatically create ads in real time.
- We launched our first AR certification on Snap Focus, a five-part online course teaching advertisers how to build, scale, optimize, and measure AR Lens campaigns for a variety of marketing objectives.
- We announced mid-roll ads in Snap Star Public Stories, allowing select Creators to participate in a mid-roll ad revenue sharing program in Stories.
- We published our latest Snapchat Generation Report, providing advertisers with key insights into how Snapchatters are using the app, what makes them happy, and their shopping habits.
Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect our expectations for the second quarter of 2022 as of April 21, 2022, and are subject to substantial uncertainty. 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 below in “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Q2 2022 Outlook
- Revenue growth year-over-year is estimated to be between 20% and 25%.
- Adjusted EBITDA is estimated to be between breakeven and $50 million.

Definitions
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment.
Common shares outstanding plus shares underlying stock-based awards includes common shares outstanding, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and outstanding stock options.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined 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.
A Daily Active User (DAU) is defined 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.
Average revenue per user (ARPU) is defined as quarterly revenue divided by the average DAUs.
A Monthly Active User (MAU) is defined as a registered Snapchat user who opens the Snapchat application at least once during the 30-day period ending on the calendar month-end. We calculate average Monthly Active Users for a particular quarter by calculating the average of the MAUs as of each calendar month-end in that quarter.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, user growth and engagement, product initiatives, objectives of management for future operations, and advertiser and partner offerings, 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. We caution you that the foregoing may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this press release.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this press release primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends, including our financial outlook, geo-political conflicts, and the COVID-19 pandemic, that we believe may continue to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties related to: our financial performance; our lack of historical profitability; our ability to generate and sustain positive cash flow; our ability to attract and retain users, publishers, and advertisers; competition and new market entrants; managing our international expansion and our growth and future expenses; compliance with new laws, regulations, and executive actions; our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property; our ability to succeed in existing and new market segments; our ability to attract and retain qualified and key personnel; our ability to repay outstanding debt; future acquisitions, divestitures or investments; and the potential adverse impact of climate change, natural disasters, health epidemics, and war or other armed conflict, as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent periodic report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made available in Snap Inc.’s periodic report that will be filed with the SEC for the period covered by this press release and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, including future developments related to the geo-political conflicts and the COVID-19 pandemic, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in our business and is a key financial indicator used by management. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.
We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined 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. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA.
We use the non-GAAP financial measure of non-GAAP net income (loss), which is defined as net income (loss); excluding amortization of intangible assets; stock-based compensation expense and other payroll related tax expense; certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time; and related income tax adjustments. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and weighted average diluted shares are then used to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, we believe these measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses we exclude in the measure.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

- Total revenue for geographic reporting 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 is consistent with how we determine ARPU.
- We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP revenue.
