Exhibit 99.1
Snap Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Fourth quarter revenue increased 10% year-over-year to $1,716 million
Fourth quarter gross margin of 59%, up 4 percentage points sequentially and 2 percentage points year-over-year
Fourth quarter operating cash flow was $270 million and Free Cash Flow was $206 million
Fourth quarter net income of $45 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $358 million
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – February 4, 2026 – Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) today announced financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
“Our Q4 results began to reflect the impact of our strategic pivot toward profitable growth, translating into revenue diversification and meaningful margin expansion,” said Evan Spiegel, CEO. “This progress reflects our commitment to building a more financially efficient and profitable business while continuing to invest in the future of augmented reality and the consumer launch of Specs.”
Snap Inc. also announced today its board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $500 million of its Class A common stock. Repurchases of the Class A common stock may be made from time to time, either through open market transactions (including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans) or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market and economic conditions, and other general business considerations. Repurchases under the program have been authorized for 12 months but the program may be initiated, modified, suspended, or terminated at any time during such period.
The goal of the program is to utilize the company’s strong balance sheet to opportunistically offset a portion of the dilution related to the issuance of restricted stock units to employees as part of the overall compensation program designed to foster an ownership culture.
Repurchases under this program will be funded from existing cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, Snap had $2.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Forward-Looking Statements
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,
5
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, future stock repurchase programs or stock dividends, 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, macroeconomic uncertainty, and geo-political events and conflicts, 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 ability to attain and sustain profitability; our ability to generate and sustain positive cash flow; our ability to attract and retain users, partners, and advertisers; competition and new market entrants; managing 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 team members and key personnel; our ability to repay or refinance outstanding debt, or to access additional financing; future acquisitions, divestitures, or investments; and the potential adverse impact of climate change, natural disasters, health epidemics, macroeconomic conditions, 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 our 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 geo-political events and conflicts and macroeconomic conditions, 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; payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation; and certain other 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 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
6
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.”

By prioritizing features that encourage creativity,discovery,andinteractionacrossthese surfaces, we aim to increase the relevance and durability of engagement in ways that support long-term community growth and monetization. Our cameraremainscentraltohowSnapchatterscommunicateandexpressthemselves, and it is often the starting point for conversations on Snapchat. We are enhancing our camera with AI-powered capabilities that make creation more intuitive, dynamic, and social. Recent breakthroughs in our proprietary models allow us to deliver high-quality generative AI camera experiences efficiently at scale by running ourmodelson-device. AI-driven Lenses represent a meaningful evolution from traditional Lenses, shifting the experience from applying a fixed set of visual overlays to creating images and scenes dynamicallythroughgenerativeAI.Snapchatterscannowprompt,explore,andco-create personalizedcontentinrealtime,andthisshiftisalreadyresonatingwithourcommunity.

This momentum is supported by a global creator and developer ecosystem that is unmatched in scale. More than 450,000 creators from nearly every country have built over 5 million Lenses using our industry-leading AR and AI tools,helping ensure that camera experiences remain fresh, relevant, and closely aligned with how our community builds relationships.

Together, these capabilities position us to deliver fully standalone, human-centered eyewear that expands creative expression and unlocks new ways for people to engage with the world around them. Advertising Platform In Q4, we made meaningful progress executing against the three priorities guiding the evolution of our advertising business:fosteringmoredirectconnectionsbetweenbrandsandSnapchatters,makingadvertisingonSnapchateasierand more performant through our AI-driven ad platform, and expanding our advertiser base by scaling and optimizing our go-to-market operations for small and medium-sized businesses. Together, these efforts delivered measurable improvements in advertiser performance, positioning us for more durable growth as we enter 2026. SNAP INC. | Q4 2025 | INVESTOR LETTER 4

High-impact, conversation-driven placements are playing an increasingly important role across both upper- and lower-funnel objectives. Sponsored Snaps continued to gain tractioninQ4asoneofourmostdifferentiatedadplacements,allowingbrandstoengage directly with Snapchatters. Sponsored Snaps revenue grew meaningfully quarter-over-quarter, supported by in-app optimizations and early testing of Dynamic ProductAd(DPA)integrations.Advertisersareseeingstrongresultsfromthisplacement: in Q4, Sponsored Snaps click-through rates grew 7% and click-throughpurchasesgrew 17% from Q3 to Q4, during which numerous format and ranking improvements were introduced. For example, global travel company Contiki usedSponsoredSnapstodrive lower-funnel bookings, achieving a 283% increaseinROASanda72%reductionincost per purchase, highlighting the format’s ability to connect creativity with measurable outcomes.Inaddition,SHEINusedSponsoredSnapsaspartofatotaltakeovercampaign to amplify the launch of its 2025 Collection, connecting an online-to-offline event with high-impact, camera-native creative that drove engagement beyond digitalimpressions. The campaign exceeded impression benchmarks by 20% while delivering CPMs below standard benchmarks, demonstrating strong efficiency, scale, and the effectiveness of clear product-led creative with a direct call to action. We are also seeing advertisers amplify lower-funnel outcomes by combining complementary ad formats across the Snapchatexperience.Forexample,SaudiQSRbrandKUDUcombinedcreativeARLenses withSponsoredSnapstodrivefull-funnelperformance,achievingupto49.5%lowercost persign-up,3.76xmoreappinstallsat76%lowerCPI,and38xmorepurchasesatan84% lower cost per purchase.

A central focus of our AI strategy is simplifying how advertisers plan, launch,andmanagecampaignsonSnapchat.Our Smart Campaign Solutions suite, including Smart Targeting and Smart Budget,usesAItoidentifyincrementalhigh-value audiences and dynamically allocates spend across objectives, reducing the need for manual setup and ongoing optimization. We also began early testing of Smart Ads, which automatically assemble and iterate creative elements to identify the highest-performing combinations. These tools are designed to reduce creative friction, accelerate learning cycles, and shorten time to spend. SNAP INC. | Q4 2025 | INVESTOR LETTER 5

Our App advertising business also accelerated meaningfully in Q4. RevenuefromIn-App Optimizations grew 89% year-over-year, supported by advances in foundational app models, broader adoption of the App Power Pack, and new immersive formats such as Playables. For example, our partnership with Triumph Arcade delivered 2.6x more app installs at 37% lower CPI and 94% more purchases at a 15% lower cost per purchase, demonstrating how native formats can drive strong lower-funnel outcomes.
