Dear Shareholders, We wrapped up 2025 with real momentum and are carrying that strength into 2026. Our strategy to be the leading grocery technology and enablement partner is working. More customers are choosing Instacart for their full grocery needs. More retailers are turning to our purpose-built technology to manage grocery complexity at scale. More brands are leaning into our ads and data capabilities to grow. Our experienced shopper community also remains a key advantage, delivering quality and reliability shaped by more than 1.6 billion lifetime orders. In Q4, we delivered our strongest quarterly GTV growth in three years. GTV grew 14% year-over-year, orders increased 16%, and we continued to drive efficiencies, giving us flexibility to reinvest in growth and return capital to shareholders. In 2025, we generated $971 million in operating cash flow and repurchased $1.4 billion of shares, including $1.1 billion in Q4 alone1. This opportunistic approach to share repurchases reflects our confidence in our business today and in our ability to keep investing, scaling, and pressing our advantage. Our marketplace fundamentals are strong, demand across our enterprise platform is accelerating, and our ads ecosystem continues to expand. With multiple engines for growth, we’re entering 2026 from a position of real strength. In Q1, we’re guiding to the strongest year-over-year GTV growth we’ve provided as a public company, and we’re focused on building on this momentum to drive durable, profitable growth over the long term. We continue to raise the bar across the dimensions that matter most to customers: selection, convenience, quality, and affordability. Our marketplace now spans more than 2,200 retail banners and nearly 100,000 locations, and our Storefront technology powers more than 380 grocers’ e-commerce sites. Our orders continue to be delivered in as fast as 30 minutes, and our perfect order fill rate – meaning every item a customer requested was found or successfully replaced – improved year-over-year by 5 percentage points. That matters. Getting customers exactly what they want, when they want it, from the retailers they know and trust – at scale – is difficult and it’s a key driver of repeat behavior. While we continue to make strong progress on the customer experience, affordability remains a key barrier to online grocery adoption. Customers continue to seek value, and in Q4, growth from both grocers that price at parity with in-store and club retailers notably outpaced our overall platform. We’re working closely with retail partners to share these insights, and we’re seeing more of them take action. Regional favorites like Hy-Vee and Raley’s recently moved to chainwide price parity on our marketplace, and Fareway will soon launch on our marketplace and Storefront Pro at price parity as well. We’re also deepening integrations with retailer loyalty programs and weekly flyers, driving additional savings across a growing share of orders and improving value for customers. Together, these efforts are driving customer growth and deeper engagement across our platform. In 2025, more than 26 million customers trusted Instacart, with approximately 10 million customers placing at least one order in December alone. GTV from our 2025 customer cohort was the largest we’ve added since the end of 2022, and our new customer retention rate is the strongest it’s been since early 2023. At the same time, we converted annual customers to quarterly, and quarterly to monthly at faster rates year-over-year, and steadily increased spend per customer throughout the year. Importantly, we did this while maintaining average order values of approximately $110, reflecting our continued strength in large, weekly baskets alongside more frequent fill-in trips. ​ 1 Includes our full $250 million accelerated share repurchase program that was completed by our counterparty in January 2026. ​ ​ ​ ​ 1

Our execution on what matters most to customers is driving strong momentum on our marketplace, as well as our enterprise platform — which is a real, strategic advantage for us. Retailers are increasingly coming to Instacart first as a technology partner, not just a demand channel. Digital grocery is complex, and point solutions don’t scale. Retailers want an integrated, purpose-built platform that can support true omnichannel experiences. That’s where Instacart stands apart. Retailers benefit from our scale, data, technology, and fulfillment network, embedded directly into their own websites and apps through Storefront and Storefront Pro – our white-label e-commerce solution. This enables retailers to reach customers directly online, driving incremental revenue and greater operating efficiency. As our retailers grow, Instacart grows with them, adding scale that allows us to reinvest back into our platform to make it even stronger. Our momentum is clear. In 2025 alone, we launched over 70 net-new Storefronts, up from over 30 in 2024 and just over a dozen in 2023. And this matters because after a retailer adopts a core capability like Storefront or fulfillment, we regularly see them expand over time into areas such as advertising, in-store technology, or AI solutions. Our in-store technology offerings are a good example of how our solutions build on one another. Because we’re already embedded in retailers’ digital operations, we’re uniquely positioned to bring that intelligence into the physical store and help retailers operate a truly connected omnichannel business. Our connected store solutions include Caper Carts – AI-powered smart carts, FoodStorm – catering and perimeter ordering software, and Carrot Tags – electronic shelf label software. Together, these technologies drive higher basket sizes, reduce operational friction, and unlock new monetization opportunities for retailers in-store, while also strengthening the customers’ online experience through more relevant recommendations, easier reordering, and more personalized journeys. AI Solutions, our newest enterprise growth vector, builds on the strength of our online and in-store technologies. Our operating scale, deep understanding of digital shopping behavior, and real-world data from fulfillment and in-store technologies make us especially well-suited to build AI that improves both the consumer experience and retailer operations. One example is our work on agentic shopping experiences, which we’ve begun developing for our marketplace and will extend to partners like Kroger and Sprouts on their owned-and-operated digital surfaces. Internationally, we’re increasingly seeing strong demand signals for our highly scalable enterprise technologies. We’re starting with proven products – Storefront, Caper Carts, and FoodStorm – to help retailers modernize both their digital and physical experiences. Just weeks ago, we expanded our partnership with Costco to power their first same-day delivery websites in France and Spain, marking our first Storefront Pro deployments outside North America. This reflects our international approach: start with anchor partners, invest locally, and scale with discipline. Growth across our marketplace and enterprise platform directly strengthens our advertising and data offerings. In 2025, we delivered over $1 billion in advertising and other revenue, reflecting the strength of the ad formats, optimization solutions, and measurement tools we’ve built to deliver results brands can see and trust. These solutions work best together. On average, half of customers reached by a brand’s display ad were not reached by that brand’s sponsored product ad — demonstrating clear incremental reach. And over one-third of new-to-brand sales from display ads came from customers who were not reached by the same brand’s sponsored product ads. That’s the full-funnel impact of Instacart Ads in action. We’re also leaning into AI to help brands capture more of this opportunity — making it easier for brands to create display campaigns, improve performance with timely recommendations, and even deploy a single budget across multiple ad formats with Universal Campaigns. ​ ​ ​ ​ 2

These capabilities extend across our marketplace and retailers’ own e-commerce sites powered by our Carrot Ads technology. This helps us attract more Carrot Ads partners, which grew from 220 to more than 310 over the past year, and we now have more than 9,000 active brands that advertised on our platform in Q4, up from over 7,000 a year ago. This demonstrates a powerful cycle where our leading technology and capabilities, combined with brand demand and partner growth, reinforce each other. We’ve also expanded our reach off-platform. Shopping no longer starts in one place — it might begin with a search, a social post, or a recipe video. Using our first-party grocery data, we partner with platforms like Google, Meta, Pinterest, TikTok, and The Trade Desk to help brands reach high-intent customers and, in many cases, connect that activity directly to Instacart purchases. We’re also placing the power of our first-party data more directly into brands’ hands. Last month, we launched Data Hub, a privacy-first clean room solution that lets brands analyze their own customer data alongside our first-party data to gain insights and optimize marketing strategies. Our Consumer Insights Portal (CIP) also continues to gain traction, giving brands real-time visibility into search behavior, promotion impact, substitution preferences, and more. CIP now has a dozen subscribers, including recent additions like Celerity Group and MaryRuth Organics. Finally, we’ve started to unlock advertising inside physical stores through shoppable display ads on Caper Carts and are continuing to see encouraging engagement signals in how customers interact with the Caper Cart screen. For example, features like the “Got everything you need?” prompt are driving a nearly one percentage point lift in basket size on average, highlighting the opportunity to use real-time context and location data to drive incremental value for brands and retailers. Overall, 2025 was a defining year for Instacart. Our strategy is working. Our operating fundamentals are strong. And our teams are executing well across our marketplace, enterprise platform, and advertising and data offerings. We have multiple engines for growth and multiple levers to drive efficiency and reinvestment. As we look ahead to 2026, my mindset is clear: this is a moment to accelerate. By pressing our advantages, we can continue to extend our lead, further scale our platform, and unlock more opportunities for long-term profitable growth. My commitment as CEO is straightforward: stay focused on what matters, invest with intention, and execute with urgency and discipline. We’re still early in the omnichannel transformation of grocery, and I’ve never had more conviction in Instacart’s ability to lead the way forward and generate increasing value for our stakeholders over time.

Full Year 2025 Financial Update Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights ●​ GTV of $37,224 million, up 11% year-over-year. ●​ Orders of 338.8 million, up 15% year-over-year. ●​ Total revenue of $3,742 million, up 11% year-over-year, representing 10.1% of GTV. ●​ Transaction revenue of $2,677 million, up 11% year-over-year, representing 7.2% of GTV. ●​ Advertising & other revenue of $1,065 million, up 11% year-over-year, representing 2.9% of GTV. ●​ GAAP gross profit of $2,758 million, up 8% year-over-year, representing 7.4% of GTV and 74% of total revenue. ●​ GAAP net income of $447 million, down 2% year-over-year, representing 1.2% of GTV and 12% of total revenue. ●​ Adjusted EBITDA of $1,087 million, up 23% year-over-year, representing 2.9% of GTV and 29% of total revenue. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 7

Q4’25 Financial Update Q4'25 Financial Highlights ●​ GTV of $9,852 million, up 14% year-over-year. ●​ Orders of 89.5 million, up 16% year-over-year. ●​ Total revenue of $992 million, up 12% year-over-year, representing 10.1% of GTV. ●​ Transaction revenue of $698 million, up 13% year-over-year, representing 7.1% of GTV. ●​ Advertising & other revenue of $294 million, up 10% year-over-year, representing 3.0% of GTV. ●​ GAAP gross profit of $716 million, up 8% year-over-year, representing 7.3% of GTV and 72% of total revenue. ●​ GAAP net income of $81 million, down 46% year-over-year, representing 0.8% of GTV and 8% of total revenue. ●​ Adjusted EBITDA of $303 million, up 20% year-over-year, representing 3.1% of GTV and 31% of total revenue. GTV was $9,852 million, up 14% year-over-year, reflecting our strongest GTV growth in three years, driven by orders increasing 16% year-over-year to 89.5 million, partially offset by average order value, which decreased 1% year-over-year, reflecting growth in restaurant orders. Total revenue was $992 million, up 12% year-over-year, primarily driven by GTV growth. ​ ​ ​ ​ 8

Transaction revenue was $698 million, up 13% year-over-year, representing 7.1% of GTV. Transaction revenue as a percent of GTV was flat on a year-over-year basis, as our ongoing investments in affordability initiatives designed to increase customer engagement were largely offset by increased fulfillment efficiencies. As a reminder, because we manage multiple levers across our P&L, we expect transaction revenue as a percent of GTV may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. ​ Advertising & other revenue was $294 million, up 10% year-over-year, reflecting the ongoing resiliency and diversification of our ads platform across both supply and demand. Advertising & other investment rate of 3.0% decreased year-over-year from 3.1% in Q4’24, primarily driven by accelerating GTV growth in Q4’25. ​ GAAP gross profit was $716 million, up 8% year-over-year, representing 7.3% of GTV and 72% of total revenue compared to 7.7% of GTV and 75% of total revenue in Q4’24. The year-over-year decrease in GAAP gross profit as a percent of GTV and as a percent of revenue was primarily driven by an increase in cost of revenue. ​ ​ ​ ​ 9

GAAP total operating expenses were $619 million, representing 6.3% of GTV compared to 5.9% of GTV in Q4'24. The year-over-year increase in GAAP total operating expenses as a percent of GTV was primarily due to higher general and administrative expense driven by non-recurring legal and regulatory matters, including a $60 million settlement with the FTC. Adjusted total operating expenses, which exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense (SBC) and certain other expenses, were $436 million and represented 4.4% of GTV compared to 4.9% of GTV in Q4'24. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by increased operating leverage across all line items. ​ ​ ​ ​ 10

GAAP net income of $81 million, was down 46% year-over-year, representing 0.8% of GTV and 8% of total revenue. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by the increase in GAAP operating expenses as described above. Adjusted EBITDA was $303 million, up 20% year-over-year, representing 3.1% of GTV and 31% of total revenue. The year-over-year increase was driven by a combination of GTV growth and operating leverage. We also generated operating cash flow of $184 million, up 20% year-over-year, primarily driven by strong operational performance. Q1’26 Financial Outlook GTV $10,125 - $10,275 million Adjusted EBITDA $280 - $290 million ​ This GTV outlook represents year-over-year growth between 11% to 13%. We also expect GTV growth to outpace orders growth as we lap the full launch of our $10 minimum basket feature for Instacart+ members in Q1’25. Our Adjusted EBITDA outlook represents year-over-year growth between 15% to 19%, and declines sequentially in Q1 primarily due to seasonality in advertising & other revenue. We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalent to our adjusted EBITDA or a GAAP reconciliation as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as SBC and related payroll tax expenses, certain legal and regulatory accruals and settlements, and reserves for sales and other indirect taxes. Accordingly, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP guidance metric to its corresponding GAAP equivalent is not available without unreasonable effort. However, it is important to note that these reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results.​ Live Conference Call Instacart management will host a conference call to discuss the company's results at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on Thursday, February 12. To access a live webcast of the conference call, please visit our Investor Relations website at https://investors.instacart.com.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this letter and the accompanying oral presentation primarily on information available to us as of the date of this letter and the accompanying oral presentation and our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation, and do not intend, to update these forward-looking statements. Key Business Metrics We use the following key business metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our performance, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. •​ Gross Transaction Value (GTV): We define GTV as the value of the products sold through Instacart, including applicable taxes, deposits and other local fees, customer tips, which go directly to shoppers, customer fees, which include flat subscription fees related to Instacart+ that are charged monthly or annually, and other fees. GTV consists of orders including those completed through Instacart Marketplace or services that are part of the Instacart Enterprise platform. We believe that GTV indicates the health of our business, including our ability to drive revenue and profits, and the value we provide to our constituents. •​ Orders: We define an order as a completed customer transaction to purchase goods for delivery or pickup primarily from a single retailer through Instacart during the period indicated, including those completed through Instacart Marketplace or services that are part of the Instacart Enterprise platform. We believe that orders are an indicator of the scale and growth of our business as well as the value we bring to our constituents. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP measures to assess performance, to inform the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to discuss our business and financial performance with our board of directors. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about our business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our business and financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing results of operations of our business over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. ​ ​ ​ ​ 13

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a Percent of GTV, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (ii) interest income, (iii) other (income) expense, net, (iv) depreciation and amortization expense, (v) stock-based compensation expense, (vi) payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation, (vii) certain legal and regulatory accruals and settlements, net, (viii) reserves for sales and other indirect taxes, net, (ix) acquisition-related expenses, (x) restructuring charges, and (xi) issuance costs related to our Series A Preferred Stock. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total revenue. We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percent of GTV, and adjusted EBITDA margin because they are important measures upon which our management assesses our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. Because adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percent of GTV, and adjusted EBITDA margin facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance, including as an indication of our total revenue growth and operating efficiencies when compared to GTV and total revenue over time, we use them to evaluate the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and for business planning purposes. We also believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percent of GTV, and adjusted EBITDA margin, when taken collectively, may be useful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance, so that investors can evaluate our operating efficiencies by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. In addition, we believe adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors, securities analysts, rating agencies, and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percent of GTV, and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income as a percent of GTV, net income as a percent of total revenue, or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percent of GTV, and adjusted EBITDA margin rather than net income, net income as a percent of GTV, and net income as a percent of total revenue, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Some of these limitations are that each of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percent of GTV, and adjusted EBITDA margin: •​ excludes stock-based compensation expense; •​ excludes payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation; •​ excludes depreciation and amortization expense, and although these are non-cash expenses the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, increasing our cash requirements; •​ excludes acquisition-related expenses; •​ does not reflect the positive or adverse adjustments related to the reserve for sales and other indirect taxes or certain legal and regulatory accruals and settlements, net; •​ does not reflect interest income which increases cash available to us; •​ does not reflect other income or expense that includes unrealized and realized gains and losses on foreign currency exchange; and •​ does not reflect provision for or benefit from income taxes that reduces or increases cash available to us. Adjusted Cost of Revenue and Adjusted Cost of Revenue as a Percent of GTV. We define adjusted cost of revenue as cost of revenue excluding depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense. ​ ​ ​ ​ 14

Adjusted Operations and Support Expense and Adjusted Operations and Support Expense as a Percent of GTV. We define adjusted operations and support expense as operations and support expense excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. Adjusted Research and Development Expense and Adjusted Research and Development Expense as a Percent of GTV. We define adjusted research and development expense as research and development expense excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. Adjusted Sales and Marketing Expense and Adjusted Sales and Marketing Expense as a Percent of GTV. We define adjusted sales and marketing expense as sales and marketing expense excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation. Adjusted General and Administrative Expense and Adjusted General and Administrative Expense as a Percent of GTV. We define adjusted general and administrative expense as general and administrative expense excluding depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense; payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation; certain legal and regulatory accruals and settlements, net; reserves for sales and other indirect taxes, net; and acquisition-related expenses. Adjusted Total Operating Expenses and Adjusted Total Operating Expenses as a Percent of GTV. We define adjusted total operating expenses as the sum of adjusted operations and support expense, adjusted research and development expense, adjusted sales and marketing expense, and adjusted general and administrative expense. We exclude depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP financial measures as these are non-cash in nature. We exclude payroll taxes related to the vesting and settlement of certain equity awards; certain legal and regulatory accruals and settlements, net; reserves for sales and other indirect taxes, net; and acquisition-related expenses as these are not indicative of our operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies, which reduce their usefulness as comparative measures. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar measures. Further, these measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this letter for the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results. ​ ​ ​ ​ 15
