Exhibit 99.1
DoorDash Releases First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
May 1, 2024
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DoorDash, Inc. (NASDAQ: DASH) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
In Q1 2024, we set new quarterly records for Total Orders, Marketplace GOV, and revenue, while improving our net loss compared to a year ago. An evergreen goal for us is to execute at a high level against our operational targets, as this drives incremental scale and efficiency that we can reinvest to solve new problems for merchants, consumers, and Dashers. We executed well from this perspective in Q1 2024, which helped us expand local commerce in the communities we operate in and increase our long-term growth and profit potential. We hope to continue our progress in the quarters and years to come.
First Quarter 2024 Key Financial Metrics
•Total Orders increased 21% year-over-year (Y/Y) to 620 million and Marketplace GOV increased 21% Y/Y to $19.2 billion.
•Revenue increased 23% Y/Y to $2.5 billion and Net Revenue Margin increased to 13.1% from 12.8% in Q1 2023.
•GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests was $25 million compared to $162 million in Q1 2023, and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $371 million from $204 million in Q1 2023.

Our Performance
In Q1 2024, we improved logistics quality and efficiency and drove incremental operational scale, much of which we used to expand the selection we offer, improve average affordability, and further increase delivery speed and quality. In the vast majority of communities we operate in, our solid execution contributed to greater choice for consumers, higher sales for merchants, increased earnings for Dashers, and improved profitability in our business.
We continued to increase selection on our DoorDash Marketplace and our Wolt Marketplace (the "Marketplaces") in Q1 2024, both inside and outside of the restaurant category. We also continued working to improve affordability, increase delivery speed, and lower error rates. Progress in these areas is rarely linear and can seem slow at times, but the impact from our work continues to compound, and over the last two years, we have significantly reduced average delivery time, defect rate, and net consumer fees per order1 on our DoorDash Marketplace. We believe these efforts are contributing to a steadily improving consumer experience that contributed directly to the Y/Y and quarter-over-quarter (Q/Q) increases in consumers, DashPass members, and average engagement on our Marketplaces in Q1 2024.
In Q1 2024, Total Orders increased 21% Y/Y to 620 million and Marketplace GOV increased 21% Y/Y to $19.2 billion. We remain pleased with our execution against volume goals in all major areas of our business and, based on third party data, believe we gained category share on a Y/Y and Q/Q basis in our U.S. restaurant marketplace, U.S. new verticals marketplace, and in the vast majority of our international markets. Adjusting for the extra day in Q1 2024 due to the leap year, Y/Y growth in Marketplace GOV in our U.S. new verticals marketplace remained consistent with Q4 2023, with more than 100% Y/Y growth in the U.S. grocery category; Y/Y growth in Marketplace GOV in our U.S. restaurant marketplace decelerated slightly compared to Q4 2023; and Y/Y growth in Marketplace GOV in our international markets remained consistent with the growth rate2 in 2023. Total Orders in Platform Services3 accelerated for the fourth consecutive quarter and grew faster than Total Orders in our Marketplaces in Q1 2024.
Revenue increased 23% Y/Y in Q1 2024 to $2.5 billion, due primarily to the Y/Y increase in Marketplace GOV. Net Revenue Margin was 13.1% in Q1 2024, up 27 basis points Y/Y and stable Q/Q. The Y/Y increase in Net Revenue Margin in Q1 2024 was due primarily to an increasing contribution from advertising.
GAAP cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was $1.3 billion in Q1 2024, up 24% Y/Y and 8% Q/Q. Both the Y/Y and Q/Q increases were primarily due to increases in Total Orders and Marketplace GOV. As a percentage of Marketplace GOV, GAAP cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, was 6.9% in Q1 2024, compared to 6.7% in Q1 2023 and 7.0% in Q4 2023. The Y/Y increase in GAAP cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of Marketplace GOV was driven primarily by an increase in insurance costs and costs associated with our first party distribution business.
GAAP gross profit as a percentage of Marketplace GOV was 5.9% in Q1 2024, up slightly on a Y/Y and Q/Q basis. Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of Marketplace GOV was 6.4% in Q1 2024, up slightly Y/Y and largely stable Q/Q, as improvements in unit economics in our U.S. restaurant marketplace, U.S. new verticals marketplace, and international markets were largely offset by a mix shift in our business to lower margin areas.
GAAP sales and marketing expense was $504 million in Q1 2024, up 2% Y/Y and 10% Q/Q. The Y/Y increase was driven primarily by an increase in personnel related costs, partially offset by a decrease in advertising expenses. The Q/Q increase was driven primarily by an increase in advertising expenses. As a percentage of Marketplace GOV, GAAP sales and marketing expense was 2.6% in Q1 2024, down from 3.1% in Q1 2023 and consistent with 2.6% in Q4 2023.
GAAP research and development expense was $279 million in Q1 2024, up 21% from $231 million in Q1 2023 and up 10% from $253 million in Q4 2023. The Y/Y and Q/Q increases were driven primarily by an increase in personnel related

expenses. As a percentage of Marketplace GOV, GAAP research and development expense was 1.5% in Q1 2024, which was largely consistent with 1.5% in Q1 2023 and 1.4% in Q4 2023.
GAAP general and administrative expense was $319 million in Q1 2024, up 12% from $285 million in Q1 2023 and consistent with $320 million in Q4 2023. The Y/Y increase was primarily driven by increases in litigation reserves, personnel related costs, credit card chargebacks and bad debt expense. As a percentage of Marketplace GOV, GAAP general and administrative expense was 1.7% in Q1 2024, down from 1.8% in Q1 2023 and 1.8% in Q4 2023.
The combination of growth in revenue and disciplined fixed cost management drove an improvement in GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests to $25 million in Q1 2024, compared to GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests of $162 million in Q1 2023 and $156 million in Q4 20234.
Q1 2024 Adjusted EBITDA reached an all-time high of $371 million compared to $204 million in Q1 2023 and $363 million in Q4 2023. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Marketplace GOV was 1.9% in Q1 2024, compared to 1.3% in Q1 2023 and 2.1% in Q4 2023.
In Q1 2024, we generated net cash provided by operating activities of $553 million and Free Cash Flow of $487 million, up from $397 million and $316 million, respectively in Q1 2023.
A Policy Note
In order for our business to succeed, we must provide attractive earnings opportunities to Dashers. While the new earnings standards in Seattle and New York City purport to do the same, their design is increasing costs to consumers, reducing sales to merchants, and providing less work to fewer people. Based on an analysis of data following implementation of the new earnings standards, we estimate local merchants will earn at least $40 million less annually from the DoorDash Marketplace in Seattle and at least $110 million less annually from the DoorDash Marketplace in New York City due to the new earnings standards. For Dashers, wait times between orders have more than tripled in Seattle and the number of new Dashers in New York City has fallen by 20% compared to before the new earnings standards took effect. This means our platform has become less accessible and less flexible for the people who use it to generate incremental income. This is an unfortunate, though predictable, outcome.
Although the new regulations are negatively impacting our ability to serve merchants, Dashers, and consumers in Seattle and New York City, those two markets represent a small portion of our Total Orders. Consequently, we estimate the regulations reduced our Total Orders by less than 1% in Q1 2024. Looking forward, we intend to manage our business in these markets with the parallel goals of protecting the accessibility and flexibility that make dashing unique, empowering local merchants to build successful businesses in the digital economy, serving consumers a high quality experience, and maximizing our long-term free cash flow potential.
On a more productive note, we recently launched a first-of-its-kind six-month pilot program to test portable benefits for eligible Dashers in Pennsylvania. We believe dashing is an innovation in the labor market that many still do not understand, which is why some policies aimed at it damage individual access and choice, and reduce productive capacity in the economy. We hope our portable benefits pilot will better support Dashers while protecting the accessibility, flexibility, and incrementality that makes dashing attractive to millions of people each quarter. We are optimistic about this test and hope it will serve as a model for other markets.

Financial Outlook
PeriodMarketplace GOVAdj. EBITDA
Q2$19.0 billion - $19.4 billion
$325 million - $425 million
Based on our current outlook and assuming a stock price in line with recent trading levels, we expect:
•2024 stock-based compensation to be in a range of $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion,
•2024 RSU issuances of 6.0 million to 7.0 million, net of expected forfeitures, and
•2024 depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $560 million to $590 million.

Our outlook assumes that key foreign currency rates remain relatively stable at current levels. Our outlook also anticipates significant levels of ongoing investment in new categories and international markets. We caution investors that consumer spending in any of our geographies could deteriorate relative to our outlook, which could drive results below our expectations. Additionally, our 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 including redeemable non-controlling interests outlook or a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as taxes and other items. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results. We have provided historical reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics in tables at the end of this release. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we consider certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted sales and marketing expense, adjusted research and development expense, adjusted general and administrative expense, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow. We use these financial measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our business and financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about our business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our business and financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing results of operations of our business over multiple periods and with other companies in our industry.
We define adjusted cost of revenue as cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, excluding stock-based compensation expense and certain payroll tax expense, allocated overhead, and inventory write-off related to restructuring. Allocated overhead is determined based on an allocation of shared costs, such as facilities (including rent and utilities) and information technology costs, among all departments based on employee headcount. We define adjusted sales and marketing expense as sales and marketing expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense and certain payroll tax expense, and allocated overhead. We define adjusted research and development expense as research and development expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense and certain payroll tax expense, and allocated overhead. We define adjusted general and administrative expense as general and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense and certain payroll tax expense, certain legal, tax, and regulatory settlements, reserves, and expenses, transaction-related costs (primarily consists of acquisition, integration, and investment related costs), impairment expenses, and including allocated overhead from cost of revenue, sales and marketing, and research and development.
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus (i) depreciation and amortization expense related to cost of revenue, (ii) stock-based compensation expense and certain payroll tax expense included in cost of revenue, (iii) allocated overhead included in cost of revenue, and (iv) inventory write-off related to restructuring. Gross profit is defined as revenue less (i) cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and (ii) depreciation and amortization related to cost of revenue. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue for the same period.
5image_131a.jpg

We define Contribution Profit as our gross profit less sales and marketing expense plus (i) depreciation and amortization expense related to cost of revenue, (ii) stock-based compensation expense and certain payroll tax expense included in cost of revenue and sales and marketing expenses, (iii) allocated overhead included in cost of revenue and sales and marketing expenses, and (iv) inventory write-off related to restructuring. We define gross margin as gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the same period and we define Contribution Margin as Contribution Profit as a percentage of revenue for the same period.
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure that we use to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) including redeemable non-controlling interests, adjusted to exclude (i) certain legal, tax, and regulatory settlements, reserves, and expenses, (ii) loss on disposal of property and equipment, (iii) transaction-related costs (primarily consists of acquisition, integration, and investment related costs), (iv) impairment expenses, (v) restructuring charges, (vi) inventory write-off related to restructuring, (vii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (viii) interest income, net, (ix) other expense, net, (x) stock-based compensation expense and certain payroll tax expense, and (xi) depreciation and amortization expense.
We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software and website development costs.
We define Total Orders as all orders completed through our marketplaces and platform services businesses over the period of measurement.
We define Marketplace GOV as the total dollar value of orders completed on our marketplaces, including taxes, tips, and any applicable consumer fees, including membership fees related to DashPass and Wolt+. Marketplace orders include orders completed through Pickup and DoorDash for Business. Marketplace GOV does not include the dollar value of orders, taxes and tips, or fees charged to merchants, for orders fulfilled through Drive, Storefront, or Bbot.
Our definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Further, these metrics have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations. Thus, our adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted sales and marketing expense, adjusted research and development expense, adjusted general and administrative expense, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1)We exclude certain costs and expenses from our calculation of adjusted general and administrative expense because management believes that these costs and expenses are not indicative of our core operating performance, do not reflect the underlying economics of our business, and are not necessary to operate our business. These excluded costs and expenses consist of (i) certain legal costs primarily related to worker classification matters, as well as a settlement entered into in connection with an initiative to serve underrepresented communities, (ii) reserves and settlements or other resolutions for or related to the collection of sales, indirect, and other taxes that we do not expect to incur on a recurring basis, (iii) expenses related to supporting various policy matters, including those related to worker classification, other labor law matters, and price controls, and (iv) donations as part of our relief efforts in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe it is appropriate to exclude the foregoing matters from our calculation of adjusted general and administrative expense because (1) the timing and magnitude of such expenses are unpredictable and thus not part of management’s budgeting or forecasting process, and (2) with respect to worker classification matters, management currently expects such expenses will not be material to our results of operations over the long term as a result of increasing legislative and regulatory certainty in this area, including as a result of Proposition 22 in California and similar legislation.

(1)In November 2020, our board of directors granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") to our Chief Executive Officer, Tony Xu, covering 10,379,000 shares of our Class A common stock, which we refer to here as the 2020 CEO Performance Award. The award is intended to be the exclusive equity award to Mr. Xu over a seven year performance period, which ends November 23, 2027. The award has nine tranches that are eligible to vest based on the achievement of stock price goals ranging from $187.60 to $501.00, measured using an average of our stock price over a consecutive 180-day period during the performance period. For more information on the 2020 CEO Performance Award, please refer to our annual proxy statement.
(2)Certain RSUs awarded prior to or around the time of our initial public offering have grant-date fair values that significantly exceed the fair value of the awards (“409A value”) prevailing at the time they were committed to employees. The amounts included here represent the stock-based compensation associated with the excess amount of the grant-date fair value over the 409A value.
