Snap said in its letter to shareholders on Tuesday that it doesn't intend to share formal second-quarter guidance "given the uncertainty with respect to how macro economic conditions may evolve in the months ahead."
"While our topline revenue has continued to grow, we have experienced headwinds to start the current quarter, and we believe it is prudent to continue to balance our level of investment with realized revenue growth, " the company said.
Shares of Snap were falling 8.8% ion after-hours trading following the earnings release.
