Nextdoor Announces Leadership Transition and Reports Preliminary Q4 2023 Financial Results

  • Nirav Tolia to be appointed Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairperson of the Board
  • Sarah Friar to step down as Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairperson of the Board
  • Announces Q4 WAU of 41.8M and Preliminary Unaudited Q4 Revenue of $56M
  • Board approves a $150M increase to existing share repurchase authorization
  • Company will report full Q4 2023 results as planned on Tuesday, February 27, 2024

Today, Nextdoor (NYSE: KIND) announced that Nirav Tolia, co-founder of Nextdoor, will return to the company as Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairperson of the Board. Sarah Friar will step down as Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairperson of the Board, with an orderly transition in Q2 2024.

“Our Q4 results demonstrate renewed strength across all our key metrics. While there is never a perfect time for a transition, I feel the time is now right to put the company back in Nirav’s hands,” said Sarah Friar. “Since I joined in 2018, Nextdoor has nearly tripled to more than 88M Verified Neighbors, now reaching over 330,000 neighborhoods around the world. The people at Nextdoor have made the past five years such a special time in my life, and it is because of them that I am more optimistic than ever about our mission and momentum.”

“I’m delighted to return to Nextdoor, the company I founded to bring neighbors all over the world closer together,” said Nirav Tolia. “I’m immensely grateful to Sarah for her incredible leadership over the past five years, during which time Nextdoor became a public company, built a strong balance sheet, and scaled the business globally. I have loved working with Sarah and look forward to working together in the coming weeks as we transition seamlessly to this next phase for Nextdoor.”

The Company also provided the following preliminary unaudited fourth quarter 2023 financial results and supplemental details:

  • WAU of 41.8M, an increase of 5% year-over-year and 3% quarter-over-quarter;
  • Revenue of $56 million, exceeding its previously provided guidance range of $50 million to $52 million; and
  • Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $531 million as of December 31, 2023.

Additionally, Nextdoor’s Board of Directors has authorized a $150M increase to the Company’s existing share repurchase authorization (for a total authorization of $250M; approximately $77M of which has been executed to date) and extension of the program until March 31, 2026.
