Q2 Earnings at a Glance
Roblox posted sharp year-over-year growth in both revenue and cash flow this quarter. However, bookings — the actual dollar amount users spent on the platform — grew just 8%, landing at the very bottom of the company's guidance range.
The company attributed the shortfall to a shift in engagement away from the high-monetizing games that were popular in 2025, toward newer and steadier titles that retain users longer but generate less revenue per user. Changes to its recommendation algorithm also reduced short-term spending among younger users more than expected.
- Revenue: $1.5 billion, up 36% year-over-year
- Operating cash flow: $318 million, up 60% year-over-year
- Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures): $294 million, up 66% year-over-year
- Bookings (actual user spending, distinct from GAAP revenue): up 8% year-over-year, at the low end of company guidance
- EPS: exact figure not disclosed in the filing; the per-share loss was $0.09 narrower than analysts expected, beating estimates
