"The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed nearly all aspects of life and has significantly impacted local businesses and their ability to operate as they once did," said CEO Jeremy Stoppelman. "Our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of our strategy, as we grew Revenue 6% compared to the first quarter of 2019, despite the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in March."

Stoppelman says while there is no way of knowing how long this pandemic will last, the company is encouraged by the early signs of stabilization in the business witnessed in the second half of April.

Yelp shares were trading down 6% to $21.50 in Thursday’s after-hours session. The stock has a 52-week range between $40.79 and $12.88.
