GLOSSARY OF SELECTED TERMS
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”), unless the context otherwise requires, references to the following terms have the respective meaning as defined below.
Active Accounts: See Streaming Households.
Ad-supported Video on Demand (AVOD): Streaming content supported by advertising that does not charge a fee to the viewer.
Apps: Primarily refers to the direct-to-consumer streaming applications on the Roku platform (e.g., The Roku Channel or Netflix). We also use “apps” to refer to mobile applications (such as our Roku Smart Home app).
Average Revenue per User (ARPU): 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. See Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Measure, in this Quarterly Report for additional detail.
DSP: A demand-side platform (such as Roku’s OneView ad-buying platform), which allows buyers of digital advertising inventory to manage multiple ad exchange and data exchange accounts across multiple platforms through one interface.
FAST: Free, ad-supported linear streaming TV, which does not include on-demand content.
Licensed Roku TV partners: TV original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) that license the Roku OS and leverage our smart TV reference designs to build TVs.
Linear TV: A TV format that provides programming at specifically scheduled times.
Premium Subscriptions: Subscription-based streaming services from content partners (e.g., Paramount) offered through The Roku Channel.
Roku-branded TVs: TVs powered by the Roku OS that are designed, made, and sold by Roku. Roku-branded TVs include the Roku Select, Roku Plus, and Roku Pro Series TVs.
Roku Home Screen: The first screen the viewer sees when they begin streaming with a Roku streaming device. The viewer is also returned to the home screen by pressing the home button on the Roku remote or when exiting apps.
Roku Home Screen Menu: The left-hand navigation bar on the Roku Home Screen.
Roku Originals: Original content programming created by Roku.
Roku OS: Roku operating system that is purpose built for TV and powers Roku streaming devices.
Roku Pay: Our billing service that enables Streaming Households to place a method of payment on file that can be used to make purchases on the Roku platform without having to re-enter their payment information. It also enables users to sign up for certain subscription-based streaming services (including Premium Subscriptions).
Roku TV models: TVs powered by the Roku OS that are made and sold by our licensed Roku TV partners.
Streaming: The distribution of video, music, or other media content via the internet.
Streaming device: Any device that enables streaming. For Roku, this encompasses Roku streaming players, Roku TV models, and Roku-branded TVs.
Streaming Hours: The aggregate amount of time streaming devices stream content on Roku’s streaming platform in a given period. See Part 1, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Measure, in this Quarterly Report for additional detail.
Streaming Households (previously Active Accounts): The number of distinct user accounts that have streamed content on our platform within the last 30 days of the period. Previously, we referred to “Streaming Households” as “Active Accounts.” While we have changed this term to better reflect the nature of our business, we calculate it using the same methodology that we used to calculate “Active Accounts.” See Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Measure, in this Quarterly Report for additional detail.
Streaming platform: The technology that delivers the viewer experience and streaming apps (e.g., The Roku Channel and Netflix) over an internet connection to a user’s TV.
Streaming players: A device that connects to a TV via an HDMI connection to enable streaming to the TV (such as the Roku Express, Roku Express 4K, Roku Streaming Stick 4K, Roku Ultra, Roku Streambar, and Roku Streambar Pro).
Smart TV: A television that is connected to the internet through an operating system (e.g., the Roku OS).
Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD): Streaming content that is available on demand, requires a paid subscription, and can be ad-supported or ad-free.
TV streaming: The act of streaming content over the internet on a TV.
The Roku Channel: Roku’s owned and operated streaming service. The Roku Channel aggregates three types of content—AVOD, FAST, and Premium Subscriptions—within The Roku Channel app and through viewing experiences integrated throughout the Roku platform (e.g., Live TV on the Roku Home Screen Menu).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY
Organization and Description of Business
Roku, Inc. (the “Company” or “Roku”), was formed in October 2002 as Roku LLC under the laws of the State of Delaware. On February 1, 2008, Roku LLC was converted into Roku, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The Company operates in two reportable segments and generates platform revenue from the sale of digital advertising (including direct and programmatic video advertising, media and entertainment promotional spending, and related services) and streaming services distribution (including subscription and transaction revenue shares, the sale of Premium Subscriptions, and the sale of branded app buttons on remote controls). The Company generates devices revenue from the sale of streaming players, Roku-branded TVs, smart home products and services, audio products, and related accessories as well as revenue from licensing arrangements with service operators.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or any future periods.
Certain prior period amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue, and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include:
•revenue recognition: determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, variable consideration, determining the stand-alone selling prices of performance obligations, gross versus net revenue recognition, and evaluation of customer versus vendor relationships;
•the impairment of intangible assets;
•amortization and the impairment of content assets;
•the impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment;
•valuation of the Strategic Investment (defined in Note 7);
•useful lives of tangible and intangible assets;
•allowances for sales returns and sales incentives; and
•the valuation of deferred income tax assets.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates and assumptions.
7
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Roku, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposit accounts and investments in money market funds.
The Company’s restricted cash balance as of June 30, 2024 is $39.7 million and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. It is used to secure outstanding letters of credit related to operating leases for office facilities. See Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.
The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalent, and restricted cash balances with high credit quality financial institutions and continuously monitors the amount of exposure to any one institution and diversifies as necessary in order to minimize its concentration risk. Such balances often exceed regulated insured limits.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers. They are stated at invoice value less estimated allowances for sales returns, sales incentives, doubtful accounts, and other miscellaneous allowances. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to determine allowances for potential credit losses and doubtful accounts. The Company considers historical experience, ongoing promotional activities, historical claim rates, and other factors to determine the allowances for sales returns and sales incentives.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses within its reportable segment disclosures on an annual and interim basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance applies retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the new guidance.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires incremental disclosures within the income tax disclosures that increase the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. The updated disclosures primarily require specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation, disaggregation of income taxes paid, and modifying other income tax-related disclosures. The guidance is effective either prospectively or retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the new guidance.
3. REVENUE
The Company’s disaggregated revenue is represented by the two reportable segments discussed in Note 14.
The contract balances include the following (in thousands):
 As of
 June 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Accounts receivable, net$669,136 $816,337 
Contract assets (included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets)3,471 17,964 
Deferred revenue, current portion$95,974 $102,157 
Deferred revenue, non-current portion23,471 24,572 
Total Deferred revenue$119,445 $126,729 
Accounts receivable are recorded at the amount invoiced, net of allowances for sales returns, sales incentives, and doubtful accounts. Payment terms can vary by customer and contract.
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets are created when invoicing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the right to invoice becomes unconditional. The Company’s contract assets are current in nature and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets. Contract assets decreased by $14.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the timing of billing to customers.
Total deferred revenue reflects consideration invoiced prior to the completion of performance obligations and revenue recognition. Total deferred revenue decreased by $7.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the timing of fulfillment of performance obligations offset by an increase in deferred revenue from higher Premium Subscriptions.
Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, from amounts included in total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023, was $15.0 million and $82.3 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, from amounts included in total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022, was $11.4 million and $66.9 million, respectively.
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents estimated contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Estimated contracted revenue for these remaining performance obligations was $981.0 million as of June 30, 2024, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 52% over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
The Company recognized $16.2 million and $10.3 million of revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and recognized $17.6 million and $32.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods due to changes in the estimated transaction price of its revenue contracts.
No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total net revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Customer I accounted for 11% and 12% of the Company’s total net revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

7. STRATEGIC INVESTMENT
In June 2022, the Company agreed to provide financing of up to $60.0 million in the aggregate to a counterparty with whom the Company has a commercial relationship. The advances are in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Strategic Investment”) and are recognized as Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Strategic Investment accrues interest at 5% per annum. The convertible promissory notes have maturity dates as reflected in the table below or are due upon a redemption event or in the event of a default.
The convertible promissory notes and their date of investment and maturity are as follows (in thousands):
As of June 30, 2024

May 23, 2023$5,000May 23, 2026
The Strategic Investment contains certain redemption features that meet the definition of embedded derivatives and require bifurcation. The Company elected to apply the fair value option and account for the hybrid instrument containing the host contract and the embedded derivatives at fair value as a single instrument, with any subsequent changes in fair value included in Other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on the fair value of the Strategic Investment.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Further, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and utilizes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.
13
The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Financial assets and liabilities measured using Level 1 inputs include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company measured money market funds of $1,471.2 million and $1,431.4 million as cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, using Level 1 inputs.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
The Company did not have Level 2 instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company measured the Strategic Investment using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Strategic Investment on the date of purchase was determined to be equal to its principal amount. The Company recorded an unrealized gain of $3.1 million and an unrealized loss of $0.1 million, in Other income (expense), net related to the adjustment to fair value of the Strategic Investment during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded an unrealized gain of $3.6 million and an unrealized gain of $3.1 million, in Other income (expense), net related to the adjustment to fair value of the Strategic Investment during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
The Company classified the Strategic Investment as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs. The fair value of the Strategic Investment was estimated using a scenario-based probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Significant assumptions include the discount rate, and the timing and probability weighting of the various redemption scenarios that impact the settlement of the Strategic Investment.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
Non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and content assets are evaluated for impairment and adjusted to fair value using Level 3 inputs, only when impairment is recognized.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded impairment charges of $10.7 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets associated with the leased office facilities that are part of its restructuring efforts. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $11.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, related to operating lease right-of-use assets, and $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to property and equipment, both associated with the leased office facilities that are part of its restructuring efforts. See Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.
9. LEASES
The Company's operating leases are primarily for office facilities. The leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to nine years and may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The depreciable life of operating lease right-of-use assets is limited by the expected lease term. The Company has executed sublease agreements for a portion of its available office space. The subleases are also classified as operating leases.

The Company currently grants equity under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan became effective September 2017 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to the Company’s employees and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards, performance cash awards, and other forms of equity compensation to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. The outstanding equity relates to the 2017 Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”), a pre-IPO plan. No additional equity grants have been made pursuant to the 2008 Plan subsequent to the IPO.
The equity granted under the 2017 Plan is subject to continuous service. Stock options granted under the 2017 Plan generally are granted at a price per share equivalent to the fair market value on the date of grant. Recipients of option grants who possess more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company are subject to certain limitations, and incentive stock options granted to such recipients are at a price per share no less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Manufacturing Purchase Commitments
The Company has various manufacturing contracts with vendors in the conduct of the normal course of its business. In order to manage future demand for its products, the Company enters into agreements with manufacturers and suppliers to procure inventory based upon certain criteria and timing. Some of these commitments are non-cancelable. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $326.0 million of non-cancelable purchase commitments for inventory. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had accrued $14.0 million related to anticipated losses on firm purchase commitments of inventory. The accrual is recorded in Accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the related expense is recorded in Cost of revenue, devices in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Content Commitments
The Company enters into contracts with content partners to license and produce content for streaming. When a title becomes available, the Company records a content asset and liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain agreements include the obligation to license rights for unknown future titles for which the ultimate quantity and/or fees are not yet determinable as of the reporting date. The Company does not include any estimated obligation for these future titles beyond the known minimum amount. The unknown obligations could be material. The Company also licenses content under arrangements where the payments are variable and based on the revenue earned by the Company. Since those amounts cannot be determined, they are not included in the obligations below.
17
As of June 30, 2024, the Company's total obligation for licensed and produced content was $262.6 million, of which the Company recorded $55.1 million in Current liabilities and $17.4 million in Other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining $190.1 million is not yet recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the content does not meet the criteria for asset recognition.
The expected timing of payments for these content obligations are as follows (in thousands):

Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had irrevocable letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $36.8 million and $37.5 million, respectively, related to operating leases for office facilities. The letters of credit have various expiration dates through 2030. The outstanding letters of credit are secured by the Company’s existing cash balance, a portion of which is restricted for that purpose. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Contingencies
The Company accounts for loss contingencies, including liabilities for intellectual property licensing and other claims, when it believes such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. These contingencies are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, and other information and events. The resolution of these contingencies and of other legal proceedings can be, however, inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
The Company is, and may become, subject to various lawsuits, stockholder derivative actions, class action lawsuits, individual or mass arbitration proceedings, and other types of legal proceedings, as well as other disputes, claims, and regulatory or governmental inquiries and investigations in the ordinary course of business, relating to commercial, contract, consumer protection, privacy, data protection, intellectual property, tax, employment, corporate governance, and other matters. Although the results of these legal proceedings, disputes, claims, and inquiries and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of any matters that it is currently involved in is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations. Regardless of the outcome, such legal proceedings, disputes, claims, and inquiries and investigations can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal fees, other litigation costs, and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, reputational harm, and other factors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any loss contingencies that were material.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into contractual arrangements which provide indemnification provisions of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. The Company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers that will require it, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers.
It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income tax benefit was $9.2 million and income tax expense was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Income tax benefit was $4.4 million and income tax expense was $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The increase in income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily attributable to the release of the valuation allowance on certain foreign deferred tax assets, offset by an increase in U.S. income taxes. The Company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $11.1 million related to the release of its valuation allowance against certain foreign deferred tax assets, which are expected to be utilized based on future forecasted income.
A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. As of June 30, 2024, the Company analyzed all available objective evidence, both positive and negative, and believes it is more-likely-than-not that some deferred tax assets will not be realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets.
13. NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company uses the two-class method to calculate net loss per share. Except with respect to certain voting, conversion, and transfer rights and as otherwise expressly provided in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or required by applicable law, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably, and are identical in all respects as to all matters. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for both classes.
For purposes of the calculation of diluted net loss per share, options to purchase common stock and restricted stock units are considered common stock equivalents. Dilutive shares of common stock are determined by applying the treasury stock method. The dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share in the period of net loss, as their effect is antidilutive.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, outstanding equity awards of 12.1 million shares of common stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because of their anti-dilutive effect.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, outstanding equity awards of 13.7 million shares of common stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because of their anti-dilutive effect.
