Current report

Our business is subject to risks related to the evolving macroeconomic environment, including the effects of increased volatility in financial markets, higher inflation and interest rates, potential economic slowdown or recession, geopolitical developments, changes in economic or government policies, including the unknown impact of tariffs, changing global regulations, and the overall uncertainty surrounding international trade relations. While we intend to remain vigilant in monitoring the impacts of these circumstances on our business and adapt accordingly, the effects of these macroeconomic factors on our business, results of operations, and financial condition remain largely uncertain. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, and the Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional details.

Current report

Since our IPO in 2017, the streaming TV industry has evolved meaningfully, with Americans now spending significantly more TV time streaming than watching traditional TV. Our business has also grown and evolved, and we are now primarily focused on growing Platform revenue and profitability. As a result, and as previously disclosed, starting in the first quarter of 2025, we have updated our Key Performance Metrics (“KPMs”) to better align with these priorities.

Current report

We use Platform revenue as a primary metric to measure the performance of our business because it represents our ability to successfully monetize our platform. Platform revenue growth is one of our strategic priorities. Platform revenue was $4.1 billion and$3.5 billion for years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Current report

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a primary metric to measure the performance of our business because it represents our ability to successfully manage profitability. Our goal is to grow Adjusted EBITDA over time, driving continued growth in stockholder value.

Current report

Cost of revenue, platform increased by $351.6 million, or 21%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher licensing costs for Premium Subscriptions and higher costs of acquiring content.

Current report

Research and development expenses increased by $9.3 million, or 1%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher cloud hosting and consulting expenses of $22.6 million offset by lower personnel-related expenses of $12.4 million and lower facilities and IT expenses of $3.3 million.

Current report

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $31.6 million, or 3%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher advertising expenses of $37.3 million, higher amortization expense of $11.6 million, and higher consulting expenses of $3.4 million. These increases were partially offset by lower personnel-related expenses of $23.3 million.

Current report

General and administrative expenses increased by $15.3 million, or 4%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

Total other income, net, increased by $1.3 million, or 1%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by lower foreign currency remeasurement losses of $5.3 million and higher fair value remeasurement gains on our strategic investment in convertible promissory notes of $1.5 million. The increase was partially offset by lower interest income on our cash, cash equivalents, and short- term investments of $3.5 million and higher interest expense related to our credit agreement of $1.5 million.

Current report

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased 1.5 million shares of our Class A common stock through our stock repurchase program. All share repurchases were made using cash resources. As of December 31, 2025, $250.0 million remained of our $400 million stock repurchase program. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional details.

Current report

Cash provided by operating activities increased in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to net income of $88.4 million in the current year, compared to a net loss of $129.4 million in the prior year, partially offset by lower non-cash adjustments to cash flows due mainly to lower impairment and stock-based compensation in the current year as compared to prior year.

Current report

Net cash used in investing activities increased during 2025 compared to 2024 due primarily to purchases of short-term investments of $725.0 million and our acquisition of Frndly TV for $95.1 million, partially offset by repayments of $50.0 million received from our strategic investment in convertible promissory notes, which were fully repaid in 2025.

Current report

We recognize, separately from goodwill, identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value on the date of acquisition. We use our best estimates and assumptions to determine the fair value of contingent consideration, and tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Critical estimates in valuing contingent consideration include the probability of achieving certain performance metrics and milestones, and the discount rate. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of projected cash flows, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, and discount rates. We estimate the useful lives of intangible assets based on the expected period over which we anticipate generating economic benefit from the asset. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates, or actual results.

Previous report

Beginning with our results for the first quarter of 2025, we will no longer report quarterly updates on Streaming Households, and by extension, ARPU. Since we first reported our key performance metrics in connection with our initial public offering in 2017, our business and the streaming industry have evolved significantly. Now, we are primarily focused on the growth of revenue of our platform segment and Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). As a result, effective as of the first quarter of 2025, our key performance metrics will be Streaming Hours, Platform Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow.

Previous report

We believe that the number of Streaming Households is a relevant measure to gauge the size of our user base. We define Streaming Households as the number of distinct user accounts that have streamed content on our platform within the last 30 days of the period. We refer to such accounts as “Streaming Households” because a given user account does not necessarily represent a single viewer or a single Roku streaming device. Rather, a single account may be used by multiple viewers and linked to multiple devices. As a result, we may identify more than one Streaming Household within a single dwelling, and more than one dwelling may constitute a Streaming Household.

Previous report

Users who streamed content from The Roku Channel only on non-Roku platforms are not included in this metric. Additionally, users who only register an account for use of one of our smart home products are not included in our reported number of Streaming Households.

Previous report

We had 89.8 million and 80.0 million Streaming Households as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflectingan increase of 12%.

Previous report

We measure our platform monetization progress with ARPU. We define ARPU as our platform revenue for the trailing four quarters divided by the average of the number of Streaming Households at the end of the current period and the end of the corresponding period in the prior year. ARPU measures the rate at which we are monetizing our Streaming Households base and the progress of our platform business.

Previous report

ARPU was $41.49 as of December 31, 2024 ascompared to $39.92 as of December 31, 2023, reflecting an increase of 4%. The increase in ARPU was driven by platform revenue growth in the United States, partially offset by an increasing share of Streaming Households in international markets where we are currently focused more on scale and engagement than monetization.

Previous report

The cost of revenue, platform increased by $209.3 million, or 15%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher costs of acquiring content and higher credit card processing fees. During the year ended December 31, 2023, cost of revenue, platform also included restructuring charges of $67.0 million of which $65.5 million consisted of impairment charges related to removing selected content assets from The Roku Channel.

Previous report

Research and development expenses decreased by $158.3 million, or 18%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower restructuring charges of $110.6 million, lower personnel-related expenses of $25.2 million, lower office facilities and IT infrastructure expenses of $17.5 million, and lower consulting expenses of $3.3 million.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $100.6 million, or 10%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower restructuring charges of $87.7 million, lower office facilities and IT infrastructure expenses of $13.8 million, and lower personnel-related expenses of $12.1 million, partially offset by higher consulting expenses of $6.1 million and higher marketing, retail, and merchandising expenses of $5.9 million.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses decreased by $32.2 million, or 8%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by lower restructuring charges of $56.5 million, partially offset by higher legal, consulting, and professional services of $17.6 million and higher personnel-related expenses of $5.6 million.

Previous report

Total other income, net, increased by $5.3 million, or 6%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest income of $11.9 million from higher cash balances, partially offset by higher foreign exchange losses of $5.0 million due to exchange rate fluctuations and a decrease in other income of $1.9 million mainly from lower unrealized gains related to the change in the fair value of strategic investments.

Previous report

Our operating activities provided cash of $218.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our net loss of $129.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 was adjusted by non-cash charges of $756.2 million comprised mainly of stock-based compensation, amortization and write-off of content assets, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, amortization of operating right-of-use assets, impairment of assets as part of restructuring charges, foreign currency remeasurement losses, and fair value changes of strategic investments. The negative impact from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $408.8 million was primarily due to payments made to acquire content, a decrease in accounts payable, payments made for operating leases liabilities, an increase in inventory, an increase in other long-term assets, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities due to timing of payments and an increase in deferred revenue.

Previous report

Net cash used in investing activities of $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 included purchases of property and equipment and expenditures related to the expansion of our office facilities of $5.1 million and an additional strategic investment of $20.0 million.

Previous report

The amortization expense for content assets (licensed and produced) is based on projected usage of such content which results in accelerated or straight-lined patterns depending on the nature of the content. Judgment is required to determine the amortization patterns of our content assets which are monetized as a group. Critical judgments include: (i)

Previous report

the predominant monetization strategy of content, (ii) the grouping of content with similar characteristics, and (iii) the application of historical viewership model and projected decay. These judgments and underlying analysis are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed on a prospective basis.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation excludes total other income, net, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, and income tax expense (benefit) from the net income (loss) of the period.

However, this non-GAAP financial measure has limitations, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our GAAP financial information, such as GAAP net income (loss). In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
