You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation primarily on our current
expectations and projections about future events and trends, including our financial outlook, macroeconomic uncertainty, and geo-political 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, uncertainties, and other factors, including those described in the
sections titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent periodic report filed with the 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 presentation and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC.

In addition, any forward-looking statements in this presentation relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made and are based on information available to us as of the
date of this presentation. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this presentation to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation

law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking
statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, restructurings, legal settlements or investments.

We define a Daily Active User, or DAU, as a registered and logged-in Snapchat user who visits Snapchat through our applications or websites at least once during a defined 24-hour period. We calculate average Daily Active Users 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.

Q3 2024 Outlook
As we enter Q3, we anticipate continued growth of our global community, and as a result, our Q3 guidance is built on
the assumption that DAU will be approximately 441 million in Q3. We are focused on executing against our roadmap to
deliver improvements to our advertising platform to drive strong performance for our advertising partners and
accelerate topline growth. Our Q3 guidance range for revenue is $1,335 million to $1,375 million, implying year-over-
year revenue growth of 12% to 16%. Given the revenue range above, and our investment plans for the quarter ahead, we
estimate that Adjusted EBITDA will be between $70 million and $100 million in Q3.

In Q3 2023 and Q4 2023, charges relating to the wind down of our AR Enterprise business were composed primarily of cash severance, stock-based compensation expense, and charges related to the revision of the useful lives and disposal of certain acquired intangible assets. Additionally, we recognized an
income tax benefit of $6 million in Q4 2023 relating to the wind down, which is included in the income tax adjustments line item above. In Q1 2024 and Q2 2024, charges relating to the 2024 restructuring review were composed primarily of cash severance and stock-based compensation expense. These charges
are not reflective of underlying trends in our business.

We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss), excluding amortization of intangible assets; stock-based compensation expense; payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation; certain other 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.

For all periods, weighted average common shares used in computation of diluted EPS primarily excluded unvested or unexercised stock-based awards, Convertible Notes, and Capped Call shares as they were anti-dilutive.
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 is not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. 2

Note Regarding User Metrics and Other Data
We define a Daily Active User, or DAU, as a registered and logged-in Snapchat user who visits Snapchat through our applications or websites 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. For information concerning these metrics as measured by us, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” in our most recent periodic report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the 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 our most recently completed period and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC.

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 attempt to create accounts for malicious purposes, including at scale, even
though we forbid that in our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. We implement measures in our user registration process and through other technical measures to prevent, detect and
suppress that behavior, although we have not determined the number of such 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.

Note Regarding User Metrics and Other Data (Continued)
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.

We count a DAU only when a user visits Snapchat through our applications or websites 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 visited Snapchat through our applications or websites 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.
