The daily actives number appears to be weighing on shares. In a letter to shareholders, Reddit ( RDDT ) said it experienced “some volatility with Google Search triggered by a periodic algorithm change.” The company noted that traffic from search has regained momentum in the first quarter.

Reddit ( RDDT ) generated operating cash flow of $90 million and free cash flow of $89.2 million in the quarter. The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $1.84 billion.
