Roblox Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Strong year over year growth in Daily Active Users, Hours Engaged, Revenue, and Bookings

SAN MATEO, Calif--()--Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX), a global platform bringing millions of people together through shared experiences, released its third quarter 2023 financial and operational results today. Separately, Roblox posted a letter to shareholders and supplemental materials on the Roblox investor relations website at ir.roblox.com.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial, Operational and Liquidity Highlights

  • Revenue was $713.2 million, up 38% year-over-year.
  • Bookings were $839.5 million, up 20% year-over-year.
  • Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $277.2 million.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $112.7 million, up 68% year-over-year.
  • Average Daily Active Users (“DAUs”) were 70.2 million, up 20% year-over-year.
  • Average monthly unique payers were 14.7 million, up 14% year-over-year, and average bookings per monthly unique payer was $19.02, up 5% year-over-year.
  • Hours engaged were 16.0 billion, up 20% year-over-year.
  • Average bookings per DAU was $11.96, flat year-over-year.
  • Net liquidity1 was $2.1 billion, and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA2 was $81.1 million.

“Our strong third quarter results reflect our continued platform innovation and growth across all age groups and geographies. We are executing against our key priorities to enable deeper forms of immersion, communication and Avatar expression on the platform, while investing in artificial intelligence, brands and advertising, to drive future growth,” said David Baszucki, founder and CEO of Roblox.

“We delivered another strong quarter of growth while executing against our financial plan. Bookings growth was particularly strong in western Europe and east Asia. The US and Canada still accounted for the majority of bookings growth in dollar terms among all regions. We also slowed spending growth across most of our major expense categories. As a result, we showed marked improvement in margins compared both to Q2 2023 and Q3 2022,” said Michael Guthrie, chief financial officer of Roblox.

“In addition, we have largely completed our Ashburn, Virginia data center. Capital expenditures in Q3 2023 were $53.2 million, down 60% from $133.4 million in Q3 2022 and down 52% from $110.9 million of capital expenditures in Q2 2023. As a result, free cash flow was $59.5 million in Q3 2023, up from ($67.7) million in Q3 2022 and up from ($95.5) million in Q2 2023. While we continue to invest in innovation, we are now entering a new phase where we can slow the growth in operating expenses and capital expenditures, thereby generating operating leverage and free cash flow,” said Michael Guthrie, chief financial officer of Roblox.

In the first quarter of 2022, we updated our estimated paying user life from 23 months to 25 months, which was subsequently updated again to 28 months in the third quarter of 2022, where it remained through the third quarter of 2023. Based on the carrying amount of deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue as of June 30, 2022, the third quarter 2022 change in estimated paying user life resulted in a decrease in revenue of $111.0 million and a decrease in cost of revenue of $25.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

 

 

Based on the carrying amount of deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue as of December 31, 2021, both changes in estimated paying user lives during 2022 resulted in a decrease in revenue of $329.7 million and a decrease in cost of revenue of $76.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the non-GAAP financial measure bookings and non-GAAP financial measure free cash flow.

We use this non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial information may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance.

Bookings is defined as revenue plus the change in deferred revenue during the period and other non-cash adjustments. Substantially all of our bookings are generated from sales of virtual currency, which can be converted to virtual items on the Roblox Platform. Sales of virtual currency reflected as bookings include one-time purchases and monthly subscriptions purchased via payment processors or through prepaid cards. Bookings also include an insignificant amount from advertising and licensing arrangements. We believe bookings provide a timelier indication of trends in our operating results that are not necessarily reflected in our revenue as a result of the fact that we recognize the majority of revenue over the estimated average lifetime of a paying user. The change in deferred revenue constitutes the vast majority of the reconciling difference from revenue to bookings. By removing these non-cash adjustments, we are able to measure and monitor our business performance based on the timing of actual transactions with our users and the cash that is generated from these transactions. Free cash flow represents the net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, equipment, and intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitions. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of our unit economics and liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our core operations that, after the purchases of property, equipment, and intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitions, can be used for strategic initiatives.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial information as a tool for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release are included below.

Liquidity

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is used in certain covenant calculations specified in the indenture governing our senior notes due 2030 that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not conform to the calculation of EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA by other companies. Covenant Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP and by other companies. We believe that, when considered together with reported amounts, Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is useful for our investors and management for purposes of analyzing our compliance with certain covenants specified in the indenture governing our senior notes due 2030 and may influence our ability to issue additional debt and enter into certain other transactions in the future. Covenant Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in connection with our condensed consolidated financial statements and results presented in accordance with GAAP. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 for more information.

The following table presents the calculation of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing our senior notes due 2030, for each of the periods presented:
