Operational Highlights
In Q3 2025, Y/Y growth in Marketplace GOV accelerated for the second consecutive quarter and fourth consecutive quarter after adjusting for the impact of the leap year comparison in Q1 2025. Our Q3 2025 Marketplace GOV and Adjusted EBITDA both exceeded our expectations entering the period. Y/Y growth in Marketplace GOV in Q3 2025 was driven primarily by strong growth in monthly active users (MAUs1), with contributions from Y/Y growth in average order frequency2 and average order values3 on our marketplaces. We estimate aggregate changes in currency rates added less than

In our international marketplaces, improvements in operating efficiency drove unit economics to a new all-time high in Q3 2025. At the same time, we continued to invest in our products and consumer acquisition, which helped drive Y/Y growth in international MAUs that accelerated slightly in Q3 2025. Y/Y growth in Total Orders in our international marketplaces decelerated slightly in Q3 2025 due to slower Y/Y growth in average order frequency. However, Y/Y growth in Marketplace GOV remained strong in Q3 2025 and we outgrew category peers in the majority of countries where third parties report transactional data.6
On October 2, we closed our acquisition of Deliveroo plc ("Deliveroo") for an equity value of

A Note On Our Investment Philosophy
Our primary financial goal is to maximize long-term free cash flow per share. As we discussed in our Q2 2023 shareholder letter (available at ir.doordash.com), we believe progressing toward this goal demands consistent investment in two primary forms. The first is to drive operating efficiencies in existing areas of our business that we can invest back into product improvements in order to increase scale and extend duration. The second is to constantly invest in entirely new opportunities where we believe we have the ideas, people, and capital to solve challenges for our stakeholders.
There is more product development underway at DoorDash today than at any point in our history. We recently announced expansions of existing services such as DoorDash for Business, Drive, and Online Ordering, as well as new initiatives including DashMart Fulfillment Services, Going Out, In-Store rewards, and Creator partnerships. We also introduced several tools designed to improve logistics quality and efficiency, including a new mapping platform, SmartScale, our Autonomous Delivery Platform, and Dot — our customized autonomous delivery robot. We believe each of these areas addresses an important challenge in local commerce and has shown early signs of product-market fit.
In addition to new product initiatives, we are also developing a new global technology platform for product development and operations. This multi-year effort began in 2024, has made meaningful progress in 2025, and is expected to accelerate in 2026. This effort entails both direct and opportunity costs in the near term but, as work progresses, we expect it to increase our pace of global product development, enhance developer productivity through AI-native tooling, and improve operational consistency across the more than 40 countries we now serve.
Our 2026 plans are still being finalized, but we currently expect to invest several hundred million dollars more in new initiatives and platform development in 2026 than we did in 2025. We wish there was a way to grow a baby into an adult without investment, or to see the baby grow into an adult overnight, but we do not believe this is how life or business works. Instead, we attempt to invest in a way that manages to milestones, allocating the appropriate amount of time and resources at the right stage of development. We are fortunate that building the future of local commerce has so many interesting areas of exploration and, while it’s hard to perfectly forecast the progression of these projects, we are lucky that so many of our experiments are now ready for greater investment.
Financial Outlook
Period |
Marketplace GOV |
Adjusted EBITDA |
Q4 2025 |
|
|
Based on our current outlook, assuming a stock price consistent with recent trading levels, and including the impact of Deliveroo, we expect:
-
2025 stock-based compensation expense of approximately
$1.1 billion -
2025 depreciation and amortization expense of approximately
$700 million
The guidance above includes the expected impact of, and contributions from, Deliveroo. As with all areas of our business, we plan to operate Deliveroo with a long-term focus and deep attention to detail. While we expect cost efficiencies over time from operating a larger global business, we believe our largest opportunity to generate long-term returns at Deliveroo will come from investing in our people and product in order to generate better outcomes for consumers, merchants, and Dashers.
We currently expect Deliveroo to contribute approximately
In addition to incremental investment in Deliveroo, our outlook includes our estimated impact of certain differences in accounting treatment and definitions used by Deliveroo prior to our acquisition. The table below highlights how aligning these differences would have impacted Marketplace GOV and revenue had Deliveroo been part of DoorDash for each of the periods shown. In terms of the impact on Adjusted EBITDA, based on averages over the last three quarters and our expectations for 2026 for Deliveroo, we estimate that aligning our accounting treatment and definitions will reduce Deliveroo's contribution to our reported Adjusted EBITDA in 2026 by approximately

Our expectations regarding the impact of, and contributions from, Deliveroo are based on judgments which we believe to be reasonable and certain assumptions that are subject to change, many of which are outside of our control. In addition to the other risks and uncertainties we describe in our filings with the SEC, the ongoing integration of Deliveroo into our business presents certain execution and operational risks that could cause actual results to vary from the expectations expressed above.
Going forward, we expect to continue reporting as a single global entity and to provide quarterly guidance for Marketplace GOV and Adjusted EBITDA on a global basis. Our outlook assumes that aggregate consumer demand and 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, as well as growing investment in new initiatives and our global tech platform.
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 income (loss) attributable to DoorDash, Inc. common stockholders outlook or a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to DoorDash, Inc. common stockholders as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as legal, tax, and regulatory expenses and other items. Accordingly, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to DoorDash, Inc. common stockholders 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 measures in tables at the end of this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
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. We use Contribution Profit to evaluate our operating performance and trends. We believe that Contribution Profit is a useful indicator of the economic impact of orders fulfilled through DoorDash as it takes into account the direct expenses associated with generating and fulfilling orders.
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) attributable to DoorDash, Inc. common stockholders, adjusted to include net income (loss) attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests and 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 (income) 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 Commerce Platform 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 GOV does not include the dollar value of orders, taxes and tips, or fees charged to merchants, for orders fulfilled through our Commerce Platform.
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 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.

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, and our historical Dasher pay model and pay practices, (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, and (iii) expenses related to supporting various policy matters, including those related to worker classification, other labor law matters, and price controls. 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 |

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, and our historical Dasher pay model and pay practices, (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, and (iii) expenses related to supporting various policy matters, including those related to worker classification, other labor law matters, and price controls. 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 |
