Filed May 6, 2022For Securities:DASH

Summary

DoorDash, Inc.'s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, shows continued top-line growth, with revenue increasing by 35% year-over-year to $1.46 billion. This growth was primarily driven by a 25% increase in Marketplace Gross Order Value (GOV) to $12.35 billion and a 23% rise in Total Orders to 404 million. The company also reported improvements in Contribution Profit, which grew to $319 million, and Contribution Margin improved to 22%. However, the company experienced an increase in net loss, widening from $110 million in Q1 2021 to $167 million in Q1 2022. This was largely due to significant increases in operating expenses, particularly Research and Development (up 80%) and General and Administrative expenses (up 45%), driven by higher personnel costs and increased investments. Despite the growing net loss, DoorDash ended the quarter with a strong liquidity position, holding $2.24 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.35 billion in short-term marketable securities.
