- Revenue
- There is a consistent upward trend in revenue, with the company growing from $2,886 million in 2020 to an estimated $10,722 million in 2024. This indicates strong sales growth and market expansion over the years.
- Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
- The cost of revenue has also increased significantly, from $1,368 million in 2020 to $5,542 million in 2024. While absolute costs have risen, the relative proportion compared to revenue would be important to assess operational efficiency further.
- Gross Profit
- Gross profit shows a positive increasing trend, rising from $1,518 million in 2020 to $5,180 million in 2024. This growth aligns with rising revenue and suggests improving gross margin performance or scaling benefits.
- Operating Expenses
- Sales and marketing expenses increased steadily from $957 million in 2020 to $2,037 million in 2024. Research and development expenses grew markedly from $321 million in 2020 to $1,168 million in 2024, indicating increased investment in innovation and product development. General and administrative expenses also trended upward, reaching $1,452 million in 2024 from $556 million in 2020. Overall, operating expenses exhibit a consistent rise, reflecting scaling operations and increased spending in strategic areas.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- These non-cash expenses have increased substantially, from $120 million in 2020 to $561 million in 2024, which may reflect growing asset bases or capital investments.
- Restructuring Charges
- Restructuring charges appeared in 2022 and 2023 at $92 million and $2 million respectively before disappearing in 2024. This indicates some strategic restructuring activities which were not recurring in the latest period.
- Loss from Operations
- The company experienced operational losses in all years reported, although there is notable improvement in 2023 and 2024 with losses decreasing from $1,124 million in 2022 to $38 million loss projected for 2024. This trend reflects improving operational efficiency or cost controls despite expanding expenses.
- Interest Income and Expense
- Interest income increased significantly over the years, reaching $199 million in 2024 from $7 million in 2020, which might suggest higher cash reserves or investments. Interest expense decreased from $32 million in 2020 to negligible levels in more recent years, indicating lower debt or more favorable financing conditions.
- Other Income (Expense), net
- Other income and expenses show variability, with significant negative amounts in 2022 (-$305 million) and 2023 (-$107 million), improving substantially to near neutral in 2024 (-$5 million). This suggests non-operating sources of volatility that have subsided.
- Income Before Taxes
- The company recorded losses before income taxes until 2023, with a substantial loss in 2022 (-$1,399 million). However, there is a positive turnaround projected for 2024 at $156 million, indicating improving overall profitability.
- Provision for Income Taxes
- The tax provision remains modest and fluctuates, with some years showing benefits and others provisions. The amounts range from a small benefit of $31 million in 2022 to provisions of $31 million in 2023 and $39 million projected for 2024. This reflects changes in taxable income and tax management strategies.
- Net Income (Loss) Including Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
- Net losses were consistent from 2020 to 2023, peaking at a loss of $1,368 million in 2022, but the company is forecasted to return to profitability in 2024 with a net income of $117 million. This indicates a strong recovery and overall improvement in financial performance.
- Net Income (Loss) Attributable to DoorDash, Inc. Common Stockholders
- The trend in net income attributable to common stockholders parallels the total net income pattern, with heavy losses in prior years and a positive profit forecast for 2024 at $123 million. This underlines a significant turnaround at the shareholder level.
