“In Q2, users, revenue, and profitability all improved year-over-year. Product-driven performance improvements for advertisers continued to scale, enabling us to generate positive operating cash flow for the third straight quarter,” said Nextdoor CEO Nirav Tolia. “The new Nextdoor, which we delivered in mid-July, offers a transformed experience for neighbors and advertisers and serves as a strong foundation for future user engagement and monetization growth.”
Today, Nextdoor announced a restructuring plan, including a reduction in workforce, resulting in reduced annualized operating expenses of approximately $30 million. “Delivering the new Nextdoor was just the first step in ensuring our business delivers more value to neighbors and customers,” said Tolia. “This is a strategic action to better position Nextdoor for sustained, long-term success. We now expect to achieve quarterly adjusted EBITDA breakeven in Q4 2025 and full-year adjusted EBITDA breakeven in FY 2026.”
Nextdoor also announced today that Matthew Anderson is resigning from his position as Chief Financial Officer, effective September 1, 2025. To support a smooth transition, Anderson will remain with the company in an advisory capacity through the end of the year. Nextdoor is initiating a comprehensive search for its next Chief Financial Officer in partnership with an external executive search firm.
“It has been a privilege to serve as CFO of Nextdoor,” said Anderson. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and look forward to supporting the leadership team through this transition.”
Nextdoor also announced the appointment of Craig Lisowski as the new President of Products. A driving force behind Nextdoor’s product development over the past six years, Lisowski will now lead the full product organization, ensuring continued innovation and execution at scale. “I’m honored to step into this expanded role,” said Lisowski. “The launch of the new Nextdoor reflects the team’s hard work, and it’s just the beginning. I look forward to continuing to build impactful products for neighbors and communities everywhere.”
Tolia said: “I want to thank Matt for his leadership and many contributions over the past six-plus years. He played a critical role in taking Nextdoor public and building a world-class finance team, and we’re grateful for his support during this transition. At the same time, I’m incredibly excited about the future. Craig has been my partner in developing the strategy for the new Nextdoor and plays a critical role in all aspects of our company transformation. His skills as a product builder, track record of execution, and insight into our technology platform make him the right leader to take our product development organization to the next level.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have not reconciled our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to GAAP net loss or GAAP net loss margin because certain items that impact GAAP net loss and GAAP net loss margin are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the future fair market value of our common stock and other factors, all of which are difficult to predict, subject to frequent change, or not within our control. The actual amount of these expenses during 2025 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA outlook to net loss and adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net loss margin is not available without unreasonable efforts.
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, in this press release. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of financial results as reported under GAAP.
We use non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including in the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of core operating results, and also facilitate comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance. We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures: stock-based compensation expense (non-cash expense calculated by companies using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions), depreciation and amortization (non-cash expense), interest income, provision for income taxes, and, if applicable, restructuring charges or acquisition-related costs.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, (1) stock-based compensation expense has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy, (2) although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets subject to depreciation and amortization may have to be replaced in the future, and our non-GAAP measures do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements, and (3) adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (b) interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, which reduces cash available to us; or (c) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
