Devices
Devices revenue was $134 million, down 1% YoY, with gross margin of 20.1%, which benefited from an IEEPA refund5 for tariff payments paid in Q2 2025 through Q1 2026. Excluding the IEEPA refund, Q2 Devices gross margin would have been (7.6%), net income would have been $127 million, and Free Cash Flow would have been $242 million. As a reminder, our Devices revenue is generated from the sale of our players and Roku-made TVs and does not include Roku TV models made and sold by our OEM6 licensing partners, which account for the largest portion of our overall unit volume. We continue to expand our Roku-made TV footprint, and in Q2 they represented approximately 5% of total TV unit sales volume in the U.S.7, achieved in roughly three years, powered by strength at Amazon and Best Buy and the continued ramp of Hiro™ Roku TV models at Target.

Following our outstanding results in Q1, we delivered another very strong quarter. In Q2, we grew Platform revenue 25% year over year (YoY), well ahead of our outlook, driven by ongoing momentum in both Advertising and Subscriptions. We continued our track record of profitable growth, generating net income of $164 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $254 million, and Free Cash Flow (TTM) of $704 million – all record highs. These results reinforce our path of sustaining double-digit Platform revenue growth, expanding margins, and growing our north star metric of Free Cash Flow per share.

Platform
Platform revenue grew 25% YoY to $1.22 billion, with gross margin of 53.0%. Growth was driven by meaningful contributions from both Advertising and Subscriptions, underscoring the increasing diversity of our monetization. The Roku Experience (RX), which includes our Home Screen, AI-powered recommendations, and all our content discovery features, remains a powerful competitive advantage that drives engagement, advertising, and subscriptions across our platform.
In Q2, we began rolling out the new Roku Home Screen, our biggest update in more than a decade, shaped by deep behavioral insights and what we’ve heard directly from customers. The Roku Home Screen is one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in TV. In the U.S. alone, it is used by more than half of broadband households, reaching them before they decide what to watch. Our new Home Screen is designed to maximize content discovery and personalization for our viewers, while simultaneously delivering benefits to our content partners and advertisers, and growing Platform monetization. We completed the rollout in the U.S. early in the third quarter, and results are encouraging. For example, our new Home Screen improved our ability to retain households in the U.S., resulting in more users we can serve and thus reducing overall costs to grow Streaming Households. We expect to roll out our new Home Screen to our international markets in the coming months.
The new Roku Home Screen is focused on personalization and helping viewers find what to watch.
To further help our viewers find content faster and engage more deeply with the Roku Experience, we are improving our search functionality. We are incorporating advanced AI for more accurate interpretations of our viewers’ queries, even when the queries are broad, conversational, or only based on mood and context. We believe these improvements can strengthen Roku’s monetization opportunities over time by supporting subscription conversion and retention, increasing monetizable Streaming Hours, and improving the performance of advertising and merchandising.

Advertising
Advertising revenue grew 25% YoY to $673 million, and advertising gross margin expanded to 62.4%, up approximately 190 basis points QoQ and 650 basis points YoY, driven primarily by a mix shift toward higher-margin ad products. Video advertising on our platform once again outpaced both the U.S. OTT and digital ad markets2, underscoring the durability of Roku’s differentiation: significant scale, first-party data, and innovative ad technology.
Advertising revenue grew 25% YoY to $673 million, and advertising gross margin expanded to 62.4%, up approximately 190 basis points QoQ and 650 basis points YoY, driven primarily by a mix shift toward higher-margin ad products. Video advertising on our platform once again outpaced both the U.S. OTT and digital ad markets2, underscoring the durability of Roku’s differentiation: significant scale, first-party data, and innovative ad technology.
Our goal is to build the most performant CTV ad platform in the industry, with a key focus on deepening our programmatic capabilities through expanded third-party integrations. In Q2, third-party DSPs (demand-side platforms) accounted for nearly three-quarters of in-stream video ad spend on our platform. We have integrations with every major DSP, including Amazon DSP, The Trade Desk, Google DV360, and Yahoo, as well as major SSPs (supply-side platforms), including Magnite, Google Ad Manager, and FreeWheel. Roku Ads Manager, our self-service platform, continues to serve performance-focused and small and medium-sized business (SMB) advertisers. In Q2, we also announced a new demand partner, Smartly, the first to connect to Roku Ads Manager via Roku Ads API. Smartly is expected to add incremental performance revenue by early 2027. Together, this breadth of open partnerships and interoperability positions Roku to serve the largest global brands, the smallest local businesses, and everything in between.
Our programmatic capabilities are also driving strong results in political advertising, and 2026 is off to a strong start. Q2 political advertising on the Roku platform exceeded the comparable quarter from the 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle. Like the broader industry, political ad spend on our platform is weighted toward the back half of the year, building through late Q3 and into Q4 ahead of Election Day. Given the growing importance of CTV in political campaigns and the strength of our scale, first-party data, and programmatic infrastructure, we are well-positioned to build upon this momentum for the duration of the election cycle.
Our high-visibility, high-margin ad products across the Roku Experience contributed to our gross margin expansion in Q2. The Media & Entertainment (M&E) vertical continued to strengthen, posting one of its highest YoY growth rates in nearly four years. At the same time, spend from non-M&E clients represented more than a third of total Roku Experience advertising revenue in Q2, which is evidence that our platform’s appeal extends well beyond its traditional, endemic advertiser base.
The Roku Experience delivered standout moments in Q2, both for marquee sporting events and for the advertisers who partnered with us around them. During the global soccer frenzy, for instance, leading brands partnered with us on sponsorships within the Roku Sports Experience, which reached viewers across multiple international markets. This was our first truly global sports activation and an early proof point for how we believe this platform can scale internationally over time. In the U.S., we now have officially branded zones for all four major sports leagues — NFL, MLB, NBA, and the newly added NHL — giving marketers an expanding set of premium and authentic ways to reach fans during momentous events.

Subscriptions
Subscriptions revenue grew 26% YoY to $548 million, with gross margin of 41.4%, down roughly 360 basis points YoY, with the largest factor being a mix shift toward Premium Subscriptions. We benefit as more sports move to streaming, and the power of our platform contributed to strong growth in what would normally be the softest quarter of the year for subscriptions.

Recent months have been an exciting time for sports fans, and total sports viewing on the Roku platform in the U.S. was a Q2 high. During the NBA Playoffs, hours originating from one of our NBA discovery surfaces doubled YoY3. Q2 launches of FOX One and Peacock within Premium Subscriptions brought the World Cup to The Roku Channel in English and Spanish, respectively, in the U.S.. The World Cup was also available on our platform in markets outside the U.S. through Roku-billed DTC (direct-to-consumer) subscription services, including Vix, TSN, Paramount+, and Globoplay. These services, along with all matches, were aggregated and organized in our recently launched Soccer Zone within the Sports Experience — driving hundreds of thousands of sign-ups in Q2 and making the tournament one of our largest cross-partner subscription acquisition events ever.

To make our Premium Subscriptions experience even better, we launched new features in FOX One, Apple TV, and Peacock, to give viewers the ability to pause and resume play of live programming. These features are popular with sports fans in particular, and we expect to roll out more DVR features in the coming months. We also continued to scale and enhance our owned-and-operated service Howdy™, our premium, ad-free SVOD4 service for just $3/month. We added more popular films in the U.S., including “Sinners” and “Minecraft,” and launched the service in Mexico. We also took Howdy off platform, as a subscription option on Prime Video and as a standalone mobile app for iOS and Android.
The power of the Roku Experience is unique, combining swift content discovery, seamless sign-up, easy subscription management, and targeted promotions. Our open and partner-friendly platform delivers tremendous value for both our viewers and our streaming service partners.
Devices
Devices revenue was $134 million, down 1% YoY, with gross margin of 20.1%, which benefited from an IEEPA refund5 for tariff payments paid in Q2 2025 through Q1 2026. Excluding the IEEPA refund, Q2 Devices gross margin would have been (7.6%), net income would have been $127 million, and Free Cash Flow would have been $242 million. As a reminder, our Devices revenue is generated from the sale of our players and Roku-made TVs and does not include Roku TV models made and sold by our OEM6 licensing partners, which account for the largest portion of our overall unit volume. We continue to expand our Roku-made TV footprint, and in Q2 they represented approximately 5% of total TV unit sales volume in the U.S.7, achieved in roughly three years, powered by strength at Amazon and Best Buy and the continued ramp of Hiro™ Roku TV models at Target.

We continue to monitor pricing pressure resulting from tightening memory chip supply, a trend affecting the entire electronics industry. Importantly, the Roku TV OS requires significantly less dynamic memory (DRAM) and storage memory (Flash) than competing platforms, and this widening cost advantage is drawing more TV brands to Roku. We have expanded and diversified our OEM licensing relationships, including Hisense and TCL, with distribution across Walmart, Best Buy, Target and other retailers. We expect these partnerships to contribute to Roku TV model unit sales volume in the second half of 2026. Accordingly, we continue to anticipate distribution costs for Roku TV model sales, which represent a significant component of Sales & Marketing (S&M) expense, will be weighted toward the second half of the year. As a result, S&M expense declined YoY in the first half of 2026, reflecting lower TV unit volumes, and we expect it to increase in the second half vs the first half as shipment volumes ramp.
Conclusion
With our open and partner-friendly platform, we succeed when our partners succeed. We are committed to connecting viewers to great entertainment while giving publishers and advertisers effective ways to engage them. That alignment of interests is a foundation of our business and a core reason why more than 100 million households worldwide choose Roku as their TV streaming platform.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this shareholder letter includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow (FCF). In order for our investors to be better able to compare our current results with those of previous periods, we have included a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the tables at the end of this letter. The Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation excludes total other income, net, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, merger-related costs, and income tax (benefit) expense from the net income (loss) of the period, and the FCF reconciliation excludes capital expenditures and effects of exchange rates from the cash flow from operations of the period, in each case where applicable. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as a supplement in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our GAAP financial information.
