* Regarding monthly active user trends, its CFO Todd Morgenfeld said, "Q2 is our seasonally softest quarter as people tend to travel and spend more time outside starting in June. This is particularly pronounced for us as we measure monthly active users on a 30-day look back from the last day in June<ref name=":2" />."
* CFO Todd noted that they still don't have visibility into an acceleration in ads demand<ref name=":2" />.
* Still expect a small impact in Q2 from foreign currecy headwind<ref name=":2" />.
* When asked to describe the current state of the ad market last month, CEO Bill Ready said,  "Well, I mean, what I would say is, like, I think it's hard to predict the macro. I think the ad market still has spots. There are bright spots in the ad market, I think there are other parts of the ad market that are challenged. So there's, sort of, still puts and takes across those."<ref>https://finance.yahoo.com/video/pinterest-ceo-says-pays-positive-200436258.html</ref>
