NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. For example, statements in this Quarterly Report regarding the potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. We caution you that the foregoing list may not encompass all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report.

Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, regarding, among other things:

•our financial performance, including our revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses, and profitability;

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, recessionary fears, and geopolitical conflicts on our business, operations, and the markets and communities in which we and our advertisers, content providers, Roku TV brand partners, other device licensees, manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and users operate;

•our ability to attract and retain users and increase streaming hours;

•our ability to attract and retain advertisers;

•our ability to attract and retain TV brands and service operators to license and deploy our technology;

•our ability to produce or acquire rights to distribute popular content on our platform on favorable terms, or at all, including the renewals of our existing agreements with content publishers;

•changes in consumer viewing habits and the growth of TV streaming;

•the growth of our relevant markets, including the growth in advertising spend on TV streaming platforms, and our ability to successfully grow our business in those markets;

•our ability to adapt to changing market conditions and technological developments;

•our ability to develop and launch new products and provide ancillary services and support;

•our ability to integrate acquired businesses, products, and technologies;

•our ability to compete effectively with existing competitors and new market entrants;

•our ability to successfully manage domestic and international expansion;

•our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel;

•our ability to address potential and actual security breaches and system failures involving our products, systems and operations;

•our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property; and

•our ability to comply with laws and regulations that currently apply or may become applicable to our business both in the United States and internationally, including compliance with privacy and data protection regulations in various U.S. and international jurisdictions.

Other sections of this Quarterly Report may include additional factors that could harm our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

ii

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we referenced in and filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Investors and others should note that we may announce material business and financial information to our investors using our investor relations website (roku.com/investor), SEC filings, webcasts, press releases, and conference calls. We use these mediums to communicate with investors and the general public about our company, our products and services, and other issues. It is possible that the information that we make available may be deemed to be material information. We therefore encourage investors, the media, and others interested in our company to review the information that we post on our investor relations website.

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 and related services including the OneView ad platform, content distribution services (such as subscription and transaction revenue shares, media and entertainment promotional spending, the sale of Premium Subscriptions, and the sale of branded channel buttons on remote controls), and licensing arrangements with service operators and TV brands, and player revenue from the sale of streaming players and audio products.

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 of America (“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, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2022 (the “Annual Report”).

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or any future periods.

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;

•valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations;

•valuation of strategic investments;

•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.

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

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Two financial institutions managed 19% and 25% of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2022 and 30% and 27% of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance as of December 31, 2021, respectively.

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.

Allowance for Sales Returns: Allowance for sales returns consists of the following activities (in thousands):

3. REVENUE

The Company’s disaggregated revenue is represented by the two reportable segments discussed in Note 16.

The contract balances include the following (in thousands):

	As of
	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Accounts receivable, net	$	714,606	$	752,393
Contract assets (included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets)	53,582		46,952
Deferred revenue, current portion	$	50,641	$	45,760
Deferred revenue, non-current portion	27,452		28,726
Total deferred revenue	$	78,093	$	74,486

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 increased by $6.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to an increase in revenue from content publishers during the period combined with the timing of billing which falls into a subsequent period.

Deferred revenue reflects consideration invoiced prior to the completion of performance obligations and revenue recognition. Deferred revenue increased by approximately $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the timing of fulfillment of performance obligations related to platform revenue contracts, offset by lower deferral of player revenue.

Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, from amounts included in total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021, was $11.3 million and $33.7 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, from amounts included in total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020, was $13.5 million and $39.7 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 $1,272.9 million as of June 30, 2022 of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 46% over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

The Company reversed revenue of $9.8 million and recognized revenue of $3.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and recognized revenue of $3.3 million and $29.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, from performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods due to changes in the estimated transaction price of its revenue contracts.

The Company did not have any customer that accounted for more than 10% of its total net revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Nielsen’s Advanced Video Advertising Business

On February 28, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase the Advanced Video Advertising (“AVA”) business from Nielsen Holdings PLC (“Nielsen”). The AVA business consists primarily of video automatic content recognition and dynamic ad insertion technologies. On April 15, 2021, the Company closed the transaction, acquiring from Nielsen the AVA business, consisting of certain assets and liabilities and all of the equity interests in a subsidiary associated with the AVA business (the “Acquisition”). In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company and Nielsen entered into a strategic commercial arrangement under which the parties will provide certain

9

advertising measurement solutions to each other. The Company acquired Nielsen’s AVA business to accelerate its launch of an end-to-end linear ad replacement solution and to further integrate Nielsen’s ad and content measurement products into the Company’s ad platform.

The total purchase consideration for Nielsen’s AVA business was $53.4 million, which consisted of (i) $38.5 million paid in cash and (ii) $21.4 million of non-cash consideration related to obligations to deliver services to Nielsen, offset by (iii) $6.5 million of services to be received from Nielsen. The obligations to deliver services to Nielsen were recorded at fair value using the incremental cash flow method. The services to be delivered to Nielsen are recognized within Other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the six year service period. The services to be received from Nielsen represent contract terms that the Company entered into for future goods and services that were recorded at fair value using the incremental cash flow method. These services are recognized as Cost of revenue, platform in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the six year service period. The Company incurred $3.9 million in acquisition-related expenses that were recorded in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The allocation of the purchase consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values is as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Values
Assets acquired
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,057
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	85
Property and equipment, net	584
Intangible assets:
Developed technology	11,000
IPR&D technology	7,500
Goodwill	36,790
Operating lease right-of-use assets	1,235
Other non-current assets	1,905
Total assets acquired	62,156
Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(1,168)
Operating lease liabilities, non-current portion	(830)
Other long-term liabilities	(6,767)
Total liabilities assumed	(8,765)
Total purchase consideration	$	53,391

The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, intangible assets, and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies in advertising offerings and cross-selling opportunities. The majority of the goodwill recorded is deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the developed technology is estimated using the relief-from-royalty method. The key valuation assumptions include the Company’s estimates of expected future earnings and royalty rate. The Company amortizes the fair value of the developed technology on a straight-line basis over its useful life. The fair value of the in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) technology is estimated using the multi-period-excess-earnings method. The key valuation assumptions include the Company’s estimates of expected future revenue and margin. Once the project reaches technological feasibility, the Company will amortize the fair value of the IPR&D technology on a straight-line basis over its useful life.

The valuation of the intangible assets acquired from Nielsen’s AVA business along with their estimated useful lives, is as follows (in thousands, except years):

	Estimated Fair Value		Estimated Weighted-Average Useful Lives (in years)
Developed technology	$	11,000	5.9
IPR&D technology	7,500		—
Estimated fair value of acquired intangible assets	$	18,500	5.9

This Old House

On March 19, 2021, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of TOH Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“This Old House”), a home improvement media business, according to the terms and conditions of an Equity Purchase Agreement. The Company acquired the This Old House business because the Company believes the content aligns with The Roku Channel’s ad-supported growth strategy.

The total purchase consideration for This Old House was $97.8 million, paid entirely in cash. The Company incurred $2.4 million in acquisition-related expenses that were recorded in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Other long-term liabilities	(28)
Total liabilities assumed	(11,999)
Total purchase consideration	$	97,811

Other non-current assets include $22.5 million of content assets acquired. The fair value of the content assets is estimated using the income approach. Amortization expense related to the content assets is recorded on an accelerated basis according to the pattern of monetization.

The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies in the advertising offerings as the Company brings more free ad-supported content to the users. The goodwill recorded is deductible for tax purposes.

11

The fair value of the tradename is estimated using the relief-from-royalty method. The key valuation assumptions include the Company's estimates of expected future revenue and royalty rate. The Company amortizes the fair value of the tradename on a straight-line basis over its useful life.

The valuation of the intangible assets acquired from This Old House along with their estimated useful lives, is as follows (in thousands, except years):

	Estimated Fair Value		Estimated Weighted-Average Useful Lives (in years)
Tradename	$	20,000	10.0
Customer relationships	700		4.0
Estimated fair value of acquired intangible assets	$	20,700	9.8
