Todd Morgenfeld, CFO and Head of Business Operations at Pinterest, said this about the earnings report.

“By all accounts, this was a challenging quarter as COVID-19 continued to spread. I’m pleased with the way we responded and remained engaged with our advertising partners. It has been encouraging to see the recovery in our business over the past few months, but there is still a tremendous amount of uncertainty and work to be done.”

Pinterest isn’t providing guidance for the full year of 2020 at this time. The company attributes this decision to the novel coronavirus. Many other companies are withholding outlooks at this time.

PINS stock was up 32.1% as of Friday afternoon.
