Forward Guidance

Nextdoor provided financial guidance for Q1 2024 and FY 2024, expecting revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin improvement. The company expects Q1 2024 revenue in a range between $50 million–$51 million and Q1 2024 adjusted EBITDA loss will be approximately ($20) million.

Positive Outlook

  • We expect Q1 WAU to increase quarter-over quarter, driven by continued strong organic Verified Neighbor growth.
  • We expect further increases in session depth will yield strong growth in ad impression opportunities, positively impacting our full-year revenue growth rate.
  • Our expected 2024 year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement will be driven largely by savings related to the cost reduction plan implemented in Q4 2023.
  • Our board has authorized a $150M increase to our share repurchase program, and we intend to repurchase shares at what we believe is currently an attractive valuation level.
  • we expect to limit dilution in 2024 and beyond.
