Forward guidance

DoorDash provided financial outlook for Q3 2023 and full year 2023.

Tailwinds

  • Expects Q3 Marketplace GOV to be between $15.8 billion and $16.2 billion.
  • Expects Q3 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $220 million and $270 million.
  • Anticipates significant levels of ongoing investment in new categories.
  • Anticipates significant levels of ongoing investment in international markets.
  • Expects stock-based compensation expense for the second half of 2023 to be between $600 million and $620 million.

Headwinds

  • Consumer spending in any of our geographies could deteriorate relative to our outlook, which could drive results below our expectations.
  • Increasing international exposure heightens risks associated with operating in foreign markets, including geopolitical and currency risks.
  • Changes in the international operating environment could negatively impact results versus our current outlook.
  • We have not provided GAAP net loss outlook or a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss as a result of the uncertainty regarding reconciling items.
  • Material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results.
