U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

You’ve Exceeded the SEC’s Traffic Limit

Your request rate has exceeded the SEC’s maximum allowable requests per second. Your access to SEC.gov will be limited for 10 minutes.

Current guidelines limit each user to a total of no more than 10 requests per second, regardless of the number of machines used to submit requests. To ensure that SEC.gov remains available to all users, we reserve the right to block IP addresses that submit excessive requests.

The block will be lifted automatically by waiting 10 minutes. Continuing to exceed the SEC’s maximum allowable request rate during the time-out period will extend the duration of the time-out period. To ensure fair access for all users, please reduce the rate of your requests and visit SEC.gov again after the 10 minute time-out period has passed.

Yelp Reports First Quarter 2026 Results, Advances AI

Transformation

Net Revenue increased by 1% year over year to $361 million

Net Income decreased from the prior year to $18 million, reflecting a 5% margin

Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased 7% year over year to $79 million, reflecting a 22% margin

Reaffirms full-year 2026 outlook: Expects Net Revenue in the range of $1.455 billion to $1.475 billion

and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $310 million to $330 million2

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2026--Yelp Inc. (NYSE: YELP), the company that connects people with great local businesses, today posted its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 in the Shareholder Letter available on its Investor Relations website at yelp-ir.com.

“We continued to accelerate Yelp's AI transformation in the first quarter,” said Jeremy Stoppelman, Yelp's co-founder and chief executive officer. “Even as local businesses continued to navigate a challenging operating environment, we made meaningful progress against our strategic priorities to reconceive Yelp around answers and actions, deliver new AI tools for businesses, and extend the reach of our trusted content through data licensing. We recently rolled out more than 35 new product updates and features, including a new Yelp Assistant that now works across all categories. Product momentum, strong traction from Hatch and Yelp Host, and a growing partner ecosystem give me confidence in Yelp's AI transformation and our ability to drive long-term profitable growth.”

“First quarter net revenue of $361 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 22% both exceeded the high end of our outlook,” said David Schwarzbach, Yelp's chief financial officer. “While local economies remained pressured, other revenue grew 75% year over year to a record $29 million. Looking ahead, we see a significant opportunity to drive growth in other revenue by scaling Yelp Host, Hatch, and data licensing. We are targeting an annual run rate of $250 million in other revenue by the end of 2028.”

Quarterly Conference Call

Yelp will host a live webcast today at 2 p.m. Pacific Time to discuss the first quarter financial results and outlook for the second quarter and full year 2026. The webcast of the Q&A can be accessed on the Yelp Investor Relations website at yelp-ir.com. A replay of the webcast will be available at the same website.

1 See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA margin to Net income (loss) margin, in each case the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).

2 Yelp has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP Net income (loss) because it does not provide an outlook for GAAP Net income (loss) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of Other income, net and Provision for (benefit from) income taxes, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and GAAP Net income (loss). Because Yelp cannot reasonably predict such items, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlook to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. We caution, however, that such items could have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP Net income (loss). For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
