A standout achievement for Snapchat during this quarter was its significant growth in daily users, adding 9 million to reach an average of 406 million.
This figure outperformed Wall Street’s projections, which had estimated 405.8 million daily active users for the app, as reported by FactSet.
CEO Evan Spiegel expressed his satisfaction with the performance, stating, “Our revenue returned to positive growth in Q3, increasing 5% year-over-year and flowing through to positive adjusted EBITDA as our reprioritized cost structure demonstrated the leverage in our business model.”
