Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed August 5, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
DoorDash, Inc.'s second quarter 2026 results show continued strong revenue growth, with a 36%a year-over-year increase driven by a 27% rise in total orders and a 36% increase in Marketplace Gross Order Volume (GOV).
This growth was significantly bolstered by the acquisition of Deliveroo. While revenue and Gross Profit are up, the company saw a decline in Net Income attributable to common stockholders to $200 millionb from $285 million in the prior year's quarter, largely due to increased costs and expenses, particularly in research and development and depreciation and amortization, which rose by 52% and 86% respectively. Despite the dip in net income, the company demonstrated improved operational efficiency and profitability on a non-GAAP basis.
Contribution Profit increased by 43% to $1.6 billionc, and Adjusted EBITDA saw a significant 40% jump to $914 million, reflecting effective cost management and the benefits of scale. The company also generated robust Free Cash Flow of $742 million, up from $355 million in Q2 2025, indicating strong cash generation capabilities. Management highlighted increased investment in R&D and international operations as key drivers for expense growth, while also announcing an amendment and restatement of their credit agreement to increase the revolving credit facility to $2.0 billion, extending the maturity date, which provides enhanced financial flexibility.
