SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ: DASH) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. In addition to our financial results below, our letter to shareholders is available on the DoorDash investor relations website at http://ir.doordash.com.
Excellent execution and continued investment allowed us to serve more consumers on more occasions than at any time in our history in Q3 2023, which drove strong year-over-year growth in Total Orders, Marketplace GOV, and revenue in the quarter. Our broad-based growth and continued focus on expense discipline drove an improvement to our Q3 2023 GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests versus Q3 2022, while Adjusted EBITDA reached an all-time high. We are excited by our progress so far in 2023, and even more so by the opportunity we have to further expand the scale, breadth, and impact of our business going forward.

Total Orders increased 24% year-over-year (Y/Y) to 543 million and Marketplace GOV increased 24% Y/Y to $16.8 billion.

Our Performance in Q3 2023
Q3 2023 was our best quarter as a public company for Marketplace GOV, revenue, GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests, and Adjusted EBITDA. In Q3 2023, effective execution, ongoing investments throughout our business, and strong consumer demand drove Total Orders up 24% Y/Y, Marketplace GOV up 24% Y/Y, and revenue up 27% Y/Y.
In our U.S. marketplace, Y/Y growth in Total Orders accelerated in Q3 2023 compared to Q2 2023 in both our restaurant and non-restaurant categories. Y/Y growth in Total Orders also accelerated in Q3 2023 compared to Q2 2023 in our international marketplaces1 and in our Platform Services.
We grew monthly active users2 in September at a double-digit Y/Y rate, with strong contributions from both our domestic and international markets. We also grew Q3-ending members in DashPass and Wolt+ on both a Y/Y and quarter-over-quarter (Q/Q) basis. Y/Y growth in order frequency accelerated slightly in Q3 2023 compared to Q2 2023.
In addition to strong growth in Total Orders and Marketplace GOV in Q3 2023, improvements to logistics efficiency and a growing contribution from advertising helped drive revenue up 27% Y/Y in Q3 2023.
The combination of efficiency gains and disciplined fixed cost management improved GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests to $75 million in Q3 2023 compared to a GAAP net loss including redeemable non-controlling interests of $296 million in Q3 2022. Adjusted EBITDA reached an all-time high in Q3 2023 of $344 million compared to $87 million in Q3 2022.
GAAP cost of revenue was $1.2 billion in Q3 2023, up 24% Y/Y and 2% Q/Q. As a percentage of Marketplace GOV, GAAP cost of revenue was 6.9% in Q3 2023, compared to 6.9% in both Q3 2022 and Q2 2023.
GAAP sales and marketing expense was $449 million in Q3 2023, up 7% Y/Y and down 5% Q/Q. Dasher acquisition costs declined on both a Y/Y and Q/Q basis in Q3 2023, while other sales and marketing expenses increased Y/Y and were roughly flat Q/Q.
We continued to manage operating expenses with discipline in Q3 2023. Combined, GAAP research and development expense and GAAP general and administrative expense was $539 million in Q3 2023, up very slightly from $537 million in Q3 2022, and down 12% from $610 million in Q2 2023. Compared to Q2 2023, Q3 2023 GAAP general and administrative expense benefited from the combination of a reallocation of certain automotive liabilities to cost of revenue, changes in tax-related items, and a seasonal decline in compensation expenses.
In Q3 2023, operating cash flow was $398 million and Free Cash Flow was $324 million. On a trailing 12-month basis, we generated operating cash flow of $1.2 billion and Free Cash Flow of $878 million.
In February 2023, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million of our Class A common stock. Year-to-date, we repurchased a total of 12.0 million shares of our Class A common stock for $750 million, which completed repurchases under the February authorization. Based on our current forecast for stock issuances, we now expect to exit 2023 with total basic shares, options, and RSUs outstanding between 450 million and 455 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 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 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.
A Note On Our Financial Outlook Going Forward
In our Q4 2023 earnings release, we intend to provide our outlook for Marketplace GOV and Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2024 as well as full-year 2024. However, beginning with our Q1 2024 earnings release, we intend to discontinue providing any full-year financial outlooks. We intend to continue providing quarterly outlooks for Marketplace GOV and Adjusted EBITDA in our earnings releases.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("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, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross 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 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.
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 Work. 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.
We define Net Revenue Margin as revenue expressed as a percentage of Marketplace GOV.
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 condensed 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, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross 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.

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.
|
(2) |
|
Consists of acquisition, integration, and investment related costs, primarily related to Wolt acquisition.
|
(3) |
|
Consists of impairment expense related to an operating lease right-of-use asset associated with our former headquarters.

We exclude certain costs and expenses from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA 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 EBITDA 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.

|
Consists of acquisition, integration, and investment related costs, primarily related to Wolt acquisition.
|
(3) |
|
Consists of impairment expense related to an operating lease right-of-use asset associated with our former headquarters.
|
(4) |
|
Consists primarily of adjustments to non-marketable equity securities, including impairment, for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
|
(5) |
|
Excludes stock-based compensation related to restructuring, which is included in restructuring charges in the table above.

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.

|
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.
