May 7, 2024--Nextdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KIND) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Nextdoor's highlighted metrics for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 include:

• Total Weekly Active Users (WAU) of 43.4 million increased 2% year-over-year.
• Revenue of $53 million increased 7% year-over-year.
• Net loss was $28 million, compared to $34 million in the year-ago period.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss was $14 million, compared to $22 million in the year-ago period.
• Ending cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $498 million as of March 31, 2024.

"Q1 was a promising start to the year. WAU grew to 43.4 million, up 2% year-over-year and 4% sequentially, and engagement remains strong, as session depth improved by 36% year-over-year," said Nextdoor Executive Chair and incoming CEO Nirav Tolia.

"Our advertising platform is driving higher self-serve customer spend and retention, our reduced cost base is unlocking margin improvement, and our balance sheet, with nearly $500 million of cash and investments, remains a strength. Given that momentum, we have increased our full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance and accelerated our timeline for generating positive free cash flow by 12 months. I am excited about our trajectory and renewed focus, and am confident that Nextdoor is well-positioned for the next phase of our growth."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, in this press release. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of financial results as reported under GAAP.

We use non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including in the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of core operating results, and also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance. We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures: stock-based compensation expense (non-cash expense calculated by companies using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions), depreciation and amortization (non-cash expense), interest income, provision for income taxes, and, if applicable, acquisition-related costs.

Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, (1) stock-based compensation expense has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy, (2) although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets subject to depreciation and amortization may have to be replaced in the future, and our non-GAAP measures do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements, and (3) adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (b) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (c) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
