Revenue Growth
The revenue growth of $9.5 million, or 15%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was driven by increased advertiser spending and a rise in active users. The same trend continued into the six-month period, with a revenue increase of $17.0 million, or 14%.
Cost Management
Despite the increase in revenue, Nextdoor managed to decrease its total costs and expenses by 6%, which is a significant achievement.
- Cost of Revenue: Increased by $0.8 million (8%) primarily due to higher third-party hosting costs.

- Sales and Marketing: Costs decreased by $3.3 million (13%), reflecting effective spending strategies.
- General and Administrative: Expenses fell by $1.1 million (7%), also attributed to cost control measures.
Interest and Other Income
Interest income decreased by $0.9 million (20%) due to lower returns on marketable securities, and other income saw a dramatic decline of 99%, primarily resulting from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities.
