SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING OPERATING METRICS

We manage our business by tracking several operating metrics, including average daily active users (“DAUs”), hours engaged, bookings, average bookings per DAU (“ABPDAU”), average monthly unique payers, and average bookings per monthly unique payer. As a management team, we believe each of these operating metrics provides useful information to investors and others. For information concerning these metrics as measured by us, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

While these metrics are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates of our user base for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring how our platform is used. These metrics are determined by using internal data gathered on an analytics platform that we developed and operate and have not been validated by an independent third party. This platform tracks user account and session activity, and its accuracy and precision may be and, at times, has been impacted by implementation challenges, methodological limitations, and operational constraints. If we fail to maintain an effective analytics platform, our metrics calculations may be inaccurate. These metrics are also determined by certain demographic data historically provided to us by the user, such as age or gender. If our users provide us with incorrect or incomplete information, then our estimates may be inaccurate. Our estimates also may change as our methodologies and platform evolve, including through the application of new data sets or technologies or as our platform changes with new features and enhancements.

We believe that these metrics are reasonable estimates of our user base for the applicable period of measurement, and that the methodologies we employ and update from time to time to create these metrics are reasonable bases to identify trends in user behavior. Because we update the methodologies we employ to create metrics, our current and future period metrics may not be comparable to those in prior periods. For example, historically our reported age demographics have been based on age information self-reported by our users. However, we have implemented and continue to develop, implement, and test systems to obtain additional user demographic data, including age verification and/or assurance technology, parental consents, and identification verification and we expect to expand age estimation or verification through such systems for users who access voice or text-based chat on the platform in the near future. Starting in the third quarter of 2025, our reported age demographics are based on a hierarchy of data sources, which may include some of the additional data sources noted above, and in which self-reported data will be used only if we do not obtain additional data regarding the age of the user, such as, for example, through age verification. The data sources and the hierarchy we utilize may change from time to time. As a result of these changes, prior period demographics may not be comparable to future ones. Similarly, our metrics may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly-titled metrics from other companies due to differences in methodology.

Finally, the accuracy of our metrics may be affected by certain factors relating to user activity and our platform’s systems and our ability to identify and detect attempts to replicate legitimate user activity, often referred to as botting. See the section titled “Risk Factors—Our user metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may significantly harm and negatively affect our reputation and our business.”

DAUs

We define a DAU as a user who has logged in and visited Roblox through our website or application on a unique registered account on a given calendar day. If a registered, logged in user visits Roblox more than once within a 24-hour period that spans two calendar days, that user is counted as a DAU only for the first calendar day. We believe this method better reflects global engagement on the platform compared to a method based purely on a calendar-day cutoff. DAUs for a specified period is the average of the DAUs for each day during that period. As an example, DAUs for the month of September would be an average of DAUs during that 30 day period.

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate DAUs differently. We track DAUs as an indicator of the size of the audience engaged on our platform. DAUs are also broken out by geographic region to help us understand the global engagement on our platform. The geographic location data collected is based on the IP address associated with the account when an account is initially registered on Roblox. The IP address may not always accurately reflect a user’s actual location at the time they engaged with our platform. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2023, we grouped Xbox users into Rest of World for the purposes of our reporting and beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, Xbox users have been reported in their respective geographies (we note that prior to the fourth quarter of 2023, Xbox users represented less than 2% of our total quarterly DAUs and quarterly hours engaged).

Table of Contents

Because DAUs measure account activity and an individual user may actively use our platform within a particular day on multiple accounts for which that individual registered, our DAUs are not a measure of unique individuals accessing Roblox. References to “user” or our “user base” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to users as described in our definition of DAUs. Additionally, if undetected, fraud and unauthorized access to our platform may contribute, from time to time, to an overstatement of DAUs. In many cases, fraudulent accounts are created by bots to inflate user activity for a particular developer’s content on our platform, thus making the developer’s experience (which refer to the titles that have been created by developers) or other content appear more popular than it really is. We strive to detect and minimize fraud and unauthorized access to our platform. See the sections titled “Risk Factors—Our user metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may significantly harm and negatively affect our reputation and our business,” and “Risk Factors—Some developers, creators, and users on our Platform may make unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal use of Robux and other digital goods or experiences on our Platform, including by use of unauthorized third-party websites or “cheating” programs.”

Hours Engaged

We define hours engaged as the time spent by our users on the platform. We calculate total hours engaged as the aggregate of user session lengths in a given period. We estimate this length of time using internal company systems that track user activity on our platform as discrete events, and aggregate these discrete activities into a user session. A given user session on our platform may include, among other things, time spent in experiences, in Roblox Studio, in platform features such as chat and avatar personalization, in the Creator Store, and some amount of non-active time due to limits within the tracking systems and our estimation methodology. User sessions on our platform may be tracked differently across devices and platforms, including mobile, tablet, web, desktop, and game console due to inherent differences in functionality and user behaviors. As we continue to develop new features and products, we expect that our user session calculation will continue to evolve. We continue to review our user session calculation methodologies and may develop alternative calculation methods to increase consistency and accuracy in future periods.

We track hours engaged as an indicator of the user engagement on our platform. Hours engaged are also broken out by geographic region, based on the IP address associated with the account when an account was initially registered on Roblox, to help us understand the global engagement on our platform. The IP address may not always accurately reflect a user’s actual location at the time they engaged with our platform.

We continuously strive to increase the sophistication of our company systems to detect different user activities, including botting, non-active time, and other activities across all devices. As we continue to improve our ability to detect and deter certain user behaviors on the platform and different devices, including unauthorized use of our platform, we may see an impact to our overall hours engaged as our measurement systems evolve and our efforts to reduce botting become more successful.

See the section titled “Risk Factors—Our user metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may significantly harm and negatively affect our reputation and our business.”

Bookings

Bookings represent the sales activity in a given period without giving effect to certain non-cash adjustments, as detailed below. Substantially all of our bookings are generated from sales of virtual currency, which can ultimately be converted to virtual items on the platform. Sales of virtual currency reflected as bookings include one-time purchases or monthly subscriptions purchased via payment processors or through prepaid cards. Bookings are initially recorded in deferred revenue and recognized as revenues over the estimated period of time the virtual items purchased with the virtual currency are available on the platform (estimated to be the average lifetime of a paying user) or as the virtual items purchased with the virtual currency are consumed. 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, which was 27 months as of September 30, 2025. 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. Over the long term, the factors impacting our revenue and bookings trends are the same. However, in the short-term, there are factors that may cause revenue and bookings trends to differ.

Table of Contents

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. However, 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.

Bookings are also broken out by geographic region based on the billing country of our payers, to help us understand the global engagement and monetization on our platform. The billing address may not always accurately reflect a payer’s actual location at the time of their purchase.

ABPDAU

We define ABPDAU as bookings in a given period divided by the DAUs for such period. We primarily use ABPDAU as a way to understand how we are monetizing across all of our users. ABPDAU is also broken out by geographic region to help us understand the global monetization on our platform.

Average Monthly Unique Payers

We define monthly unique payers as user accounts that made a payment on the platform or redeemed a prepaid card during a given month. A user account that makes multiple purchases during a given month is counted as a single monthly unique payer. Average monthly unique payers for a specified period is the average of the monthly unique payers for each month during that period. Because an individual user may actively pay on our platform within a particular month on multiple user accounts for which that individual registered, our monthly unique payers are not a measure of unique individual payers on Roblox.

Average Bookings per Monthly Unique Payer

We define average bookings per monthly unique payer as bookings in the specified period divided by the average monthly unique payers for the same specified period.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of Business

Description of Business

Roblox Corporation (the “Company” or “Roblox”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in March 2004. On May 30, 2025 following approval of the Company’s stockholders at its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company completed its reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada.

The Company operates a free to use immersive platform for connection and communication (the “Roblox Platform” or “Platform”) where people come to create, play, work, learn, and connect with each other in experiences built by our global community of creators. Users are free to immerse themselves in experiences on the Roblox Platform and can acquire experience-specific enhancements or avatar items by using purchased Robux, our virtual currency. Any user can be a developer or creator on the Platform using Roblox Studio, a set of free software tools. Developers and creators build the experiences that are published on Roblox and can earn Robux by monetizing their experience, creating and selling or reselling avatar items, or creating and selling Roblox Studio plugins.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. For example, references to fiscal year 2025 and 2024 refer to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

In the Company’s opinion, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025 or any other interim period.

For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries over which the Company has control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, and the ownership interest of minority investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the estimated period of time the virtual items are available to the user, which is estimated as the average lifetime of a paying user, and the estimated amount of consumable and durable virtual items purchased for which the Company lacks specific information that is used for revenue recognition, the estimated amount of expected breakage related to prepaid card sales, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through acquisitions, accrued liabilities (including accrued developer exchange fees), contingent liabilities, valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, the discount rate used in measuring our operating lease liabilities, the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets, evaluation of recoverability of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, and as necessary, estimates of fair value to measure impairment losses. Management believes that the estimates, and judgments upon which they rely, are reasonable based upon information available to them at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements will be affected.

Change in Accounting Estimate

At the onset of the second quarter of 2024, we updated our estimated paying user life from 28 months to 27 months, where it remained through September 30, 2025. Based on the carrying amount of deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue as of March 31, 2024, the change resulted in an increase in revenue and cost of revenue of $26.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $85.3 million and $17.8 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Refer to the heading “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition Policy” as described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025, for a complete discussion on the Company’s revenue recognition policies, including further background on the Company’s process to estimate the average lifetime of a paying user.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose specific tax rate reconciliation categories, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, amongst other disclosure enhancements. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The ASU can be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard, and anticipates that the adoption will result in expanded disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses in the notes of financial statements, including, amongst others, the amount of employee compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense within each caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations. Further, the disclosures require a qualitative description of the remaining cost and expense amounts within each relevant expense caption that are not separately disaggregated, as well as a description and the total amount of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The ASU can be early adopted and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introduces a more judgment-based approach. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU can be early adopted and should be applied using either the prospective, modified, or retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

(1)The Company’s revenues in the United States were 56% and 58% of consolidated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 60% and 59% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

No individual country, other than the United States, exceeded 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for any period presented.

Durable virtual items accounted for 78% and 86% of virtual item-related revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 92% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Consumable virtual items accounted for 22% and 14% of virtual item-related revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 8% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

At the onset of the second quarter of 2024, we updated our estimated paying user life from 28 months to 27 months, where it remained through September 30, 2025.

Deferred Revenue

The Company receives payments from its users based on the payment terms established in its contracts. Such payments are initially recorded to deferred revenue and are recognized into revenue as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. The aggregate amount of revenue allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations is included in our deferred revenue balances.

The increase in deferred revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by sales during the period exceeding revenue recognized from the satisfaction of our performance obligations, which includes the revenue recognized during the period that was included in the current portion of deferred revenue at the beginning of the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $2,385.0 million of revenue that was included in the current deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2024.

(1)The equity securities relate to the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan and are held in a rabbi trust.

As of September 30, 2025, all of the Company’s short-term debt investments have contractual maturities of one year or less and all of the Company’s long-term debt investments have contractual maturities between one and five years.

Changes in market interest rates, credit risk of borrowers, and overall market liquidity, amongst other factors, may cause our short-term and long-term debt investments to fall below their amortized cost basis, resulting in unrealized losses. For those debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2025, the unrealized losses were primarily driven by increases in market interest rates following the date of purchase and the Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell, such securities before recovering the amortized cost basis.

The following table presents fair values and gross unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position (in thousands):

8. Debt

2030 Notes

On October 29, 2021, the Company issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”). The 2030 Notes mature on May 1, 2030. The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2022.

The aggregate proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Notes were approximately $987.5 million, after deducting lenders costs and other issuance costs incurred by the Company. The issuance costs of $12.5 million are amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2030 Notes.

The Company may voluntarily redeem the 2030 Notes, in whole or in part, under the following circumstances:

(1)Prior to November 1, 2024, the Company could have on any one or more occasions, redeemed up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes at a redemption price of 103.875% of the principal amount including accrued and unpaid interest, if any, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings; provided that (1) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes originally issued remained outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding 2030 Notes held by the Company and its subsidiaries); and (2) the redemption occurred within 180 days of the date of the closing of such equity offerings.

(2)On or after November 1, 2024, the Company may voluntarily redeem all or a part of the 2030 Notes at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date:


Year	Percentage
2024	101.938	%
2025	100.969	%
2026 and thereafter	100.000	%

(3)Prior to November 1, 2024, the Company could have redeemed all or a part of the 2030 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2030 Notes redeemed, including accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium set forth in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes (the “Indenture”) as of the date of such redemption; and

(4)In connection with any tender offer for the 2030 Notes, including an offer to purchase (as defined in the Indenture), if holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2030 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such notes in such tender offer and the Company (or any third party making such a tender offer in lieu of the Company) purchases all of the 2030 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Company (or such third party) will have the right, upon not less than 10, but not more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date to the holders of the 2030 Notes and the trustee, to redeem all of the 2030 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each holder of 2030 Notes (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) in such tender offer plus to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

In certain circumstances involving a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase all, or at the holder’s option, any part, of each holder’s 2030 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable repurchase date.

The 2030 Notes are unsecured obligations and the Indenture contains covenants limiting the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) create certain liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (ii) create, assume, incur, or guarantee certain indebtedness; or (iii) consolidate or merge with or into, or sell or otherwise dispose of all of substantially all of the Company and its subsidiaries’ assets to another person. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions set forth in the Indenture and non-compliance with these covenants may result in the accelerated repayment of the 2030 Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under the Indenture.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments—The Company leases office facilities and space for data center operations under operating leases expiring in various years through 2035. Certain of these arrangements have free or escalating rent payment provisions and optional renewal clauses. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. There has been no material change in the Company’s lease commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, except for lease commitments primarily related to office facilities and data centers in the ordinary course of business.

Purchase Obligations—Non-cancellable contractual purchase obligations primarily consist of contracts associated with data center hosting providers, software vendors, and payment processors. There have been no material changes in the Company’s purchase obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other than non-cancellable purchase commitments made in the ordinary course of business, primarily related to data center hosting providers, software vendors, and payment processors.

Letters of Credit—The Company has letters of credit in connection with its operating leases which are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to the Company’s letters of credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Legal Proceedings—The Company is and, from time to time may in the future become, involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation in the ordinary course of business.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company accrued for immaterial losses related to litigation matters that the Company believes to be probable and for which an amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company considered the progress of these cases, the opinions and views of its legal counsel and outside advisors, its experience and settlements in similar cases, and other factors in arriving at the conclusion that a potential loss was probable.

Table of Contents

The Company cannot determine a reasonable estimate of the maximum possible loss or range of loss for all its litigation matters given that they are at various stages of the litigation process and each case is subject to the inherent uncertainties of litigation. The Company has and may continue to incur substantial legal fees, which are expensed as incurred, in defending against these legal proceedings. The maximum amount of liability that may ultimately result from any of these matters cannot be predicted with absolute certainty and the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our operations.

On August 1, 2023, a putative class action was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Colvin v. Roblox (the “Colvin matter”), asserting various claims arising from allegations that minors used third-party virtual casinos to gamble Robux. On December 15, 2023, the Company filed a motion to dismiss and on March 26, 2024, the motion to dismiss was granted in part and denied in part, allowing plaintiffs’ negligence and California Unfair Competition Law claims to proceed. On March 28, 2024, a supplemental order clarified that plaintiffs’ claims for unjust enrichment and equitable relief could proceed as well. On April 9, 2024, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint re-alleging the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act and New York General Business Law claims that had been dismissed.

Separately, on March 14, 2024, Gentry v. Roblox was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California premised on substantially identical allegations as the Colvin matter. On April 18, 2024, the Gentry v. Roblox matter was consolidated with the Colvin matter. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on April 23, 2024. The consolidated complaint seeks monetary damages, including actual, punitive, and statutory damages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costs, and declaratory and injunctive relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on May 14, 2024, which the court granted in part and denied in part on September 19, 2024. The court dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ fraud-based claims and claims for injunctive relief, but allowed plaintiffs’ claims under California’s Unfair Competition Law and for negligence and unjust enrichment to proceed. On October 30, 2024, the Company filed an answer denying plaintiffs’ claims. On November 20, 2024, the Company filed an Amended Answer, again denying plaintiffs’ claims, and adding cross-claims against virtual casino defendants for intellectual property infringement, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, breach of contract, tortious interference, and indemnification, among others. One of the cross-defendants, Based Plate Studios, LLC moved to dismiss the Company’s claims. On April 16, 2025, the court granted in part and denied in part Based Plate Studios’ motion to dismiss, allowing the Company’s claims against Based Plate Studios for trademark infringement, violation of California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, tortious interference with contract, breach of contract, and indemnification to proceed. On June 2, 2025, plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, adding new defendants and more detailed allegations regarding existing plaintiffs. The Company filed a motion to dismiss portions of the Second Amended Complaint on June 23, 2025. Hearing on that motion was held on September 4, 2025 and a ruling is pending. Discovery is ongoing.

On September 16, 2024, Robinson v. Binello was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California as Case No. 3:24-cv-06501. The complaint alleges the Company and one of its developers engaged in copyright infringement because a recording that plaintiff allegedly owns a copyright for was allegedly featured in the “Meep City” experience on Roblox from 2016 to 2022. Plaintiff is seeking a declaration that the Company has willfully infringed their work, actual damages, equitable relief, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and such other relief as the court deems proper. The Company has retained counsel and filed a motion to dismiss on November 1, 2024. On March 24, 2025, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion, allowing claims for direct copyright infringement and vicarious copyright infringement to proceed. The Company filed an answer denying the claims on April 28, 2025. Discovery is ongoing.

The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against all claims asserted against it. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, if any, arising from the above-referenced matters.

Indemnification—In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless, and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third-party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. To date, the Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions.

The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations. The Company also has directors’ and officers’ insurance.

11. Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company has three equity incentive plans: its 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”), its 2017 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), and its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Plan in 2020, which became effective in connection with the Company’s March 10, 2021 direct listing of its Class A common stock (the “Direct Listing”). The 2017 Plan was terminated effective immediately prior to the Direct Listing in connection with the effectiveness of the Company’s 2020 Plan, and accordingly no shares are available for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The 2004 Plan was terminated on the effective date of the 2017 Plan, and accordingly no shares are available for issuance under the 2004 Plan. Any outstanding stock awards under the 2004 Plan and 2017 Plan remain outstanding, subject to the terms of the applicable plan and award agreements, until such shares are issued under those stock awards, by exercise of stock options, settlement of RSUs, or until those stock awards become vested or expired by their terms.

Additionally, in 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”), which became effective in connection with the Direct Listing.

All unvested PSU balances and grants are shown at the aggregate maximum number of shares that were granted and may be earned and issued with respect to each award over its full term. Stock-based compensation expense recognized related to the Management PSUs was $10.2 million and $32.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $8.5 million and $12.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Certain PSU and RSU Grants

CEO Long-Term Performance Award

In February 2021, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee granted a PSU award (the “CEO Long-Term Performance Award”) under the 2017 Plan, which provided our CEO the opportunity to earn a maximum number of 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock. The CEO Long-Term Performance Award would have vested upon the satisfaction of a service condition and achievement of certain Class A common stock price targets over five years. The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee approved the cancellation of the CEO-Long Term Performance Award on March 1, 2024, as further discussed below. The Class A common stock price targets were not achieved and therefore no shares vested under the CEO Long-Term Performance Award prior to its cancellation.

Table of Contents

2024 CEO PSUs and RSUs

On March 1, 2024 (the “Modification Date”), the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee concurrently (i) approved the cancellation of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award and (ii) granted Mr. Baszucki a new PSU award (the “2024 CEO PSU Award”) and RSU award (collectively, the “2024 CEO Award”), which was determined to represent a modification of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award.

As of the Modification Date, total subsequent stock-based compensation expense to be recognized was measured as (i) the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the grant date fair value of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award of $84.4 million and (ii) the incremental fair value resulting from the modification, if any. To estimate the incremental fair value resulting from the modification (if any), the Company first estimated the fair value of the modified CEO Long-Term Performance Award immediately prior to the Modification Date using a model based on multiple stock price outcomes developed through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation that incorporated into the valuation the possibility that the stock price targets may not be satisfied. A Monte Carlo simulation model requires the use of various assumptions, including the underlying stock price, volatility, and the risk-free interest rate as of the valuation date, corresponding to the length of time remaining in the performance period, and expected dividend yield. On the Modification Date, the estimated fair value of the CEO Long-Term Performance Award immediately prior to the modification was greater than the estimated fair value of the 2024 CEO Award (which was generally estimated based on the Modification Date fair value of the Class A common stock underlying the 2024 CEO Award, with consideration of the probability of achievement against the pre-established performance measures). As a result, the modification did not result in any incremental stock-based compensation expense and therefore, as of the Modification Date, total subsequent stock-based compensation expense to be recognized totaled $84.4 million. Of the total estimated stock-based compensation expense, 75% of the value was allocated to the 2024 CEO PSU Award with the remaining 25% allocated to the RSUs, based on the relative value of the two awards on the Modification Date.

Under the 2024 CEO PSU Award, the number of shares that can be earned will range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares based on the Company’s performance against two independent performance measures relative to pre-established thresholds during a two-year performance period ending on December 31, 2025. The two independent performance measures are the Company’s cumulative (i) bookings during the performance period, as defined in the grant agreement with the CEO and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA during the performance period, which correlates to the covenant Adjusted EBITDA calculation used in certain covenant calculations specified in the Indenture (the “PSU Adjusted EBITDA”). Further, the awards are subject to Mr. Baszucki’s continuous service with the Company through each vesting date. In the first quarter of 2026, 67% of the award earned, if any, will vest and the remaining 33% of the award earned, if any, will vest in four equal quarterly installments thereafter beginning in the second quarter of 2026. The Company will recognize stock-based compensation expense for the 2024 CEO PSU Award on an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period of each separately vesting tranche. Actual performance against the pre-established thresholds under the 2024 CEO PSU Award will have no impact on the subsequent stock-based compensation expense recognized.

The target number of the 2024 CEO PSU Award was 446,534 in aggregate, with 80% of the target number of shares allocated to the cumulative bookings performance measure and 20% of the target number of shares allocated to the cumulative PSU Adjusted EBITDA performance measure.

The Company recorded $7.4 million and $21.9 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2024 CEO PSU Award during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $7.3 million and $25.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2024 CEO PSU Award and CEO Long-Term Performance Award, in total, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, within general and administrative expenses.

Under the 2024 CEO Award, Mr. Baszucki was granted 148,844 RSUs which will vest quarterly over a three-year service period beginning March 1, 2024, subject to Mr. Baszucki’s continued service with the Company on each vesting date.

Table of Contents

2025 PSU Awards

During the first quarter of 2025, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee granted PSU awards to certain members of management (the “2025 PSU Awards”).

Under the 2025 PSU Awards, the number of shares that can be earned will range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares based on the Company’s performance against two independent performance measures relative to pre-established thresholds during a two-year performance period ending on December 31, 2026. The two independent performance measures include the Company’s cumulative (i) bookings during the performance period, as defined in the grant agreement with each member of management and (ii) PSU Adjusted EBITDA margin during the performance period, which correlates to cumulative PSU Adjusted EBITDA during the performance period divided by cumulative bookings during the performance period. Further, the awards are subject to each executive’s continuous service with the Company through each vesting date, with the initial vesting date to occur in the first quarter of 2027 (of which 67% of the award earned, if any, will vest) and the remaining vesting dates to occur in four equal quarterly installments beginning in the second quarter of 2027.

As of September 30, 2025, the target number of 2025 PSU Awards was 555,061 in total, with 80% of the target number of shares allocated to the cumulative bookings performance measure and 20% of the target number of shares allocated to the cumulative PSU Adjusted EBITDA margin performance measure.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for the 2025 PSU Awards based upon the per-share grant date fair value on an accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period of each separately vesting tranche. At each reporting period, the amount of stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the probability of achievement against the pre-established performance measures and if necessary, a cumulative catch-up adjustment is recorded to reflect any revised estimates regarding the probability of achievement.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company recorded $3.8 million and $10.3 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2020 ESPP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $3.2 million and $14.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

13. Joint Venture

Background

In February 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Songhua River Investment Limited (“Songhua”), an affiliate of Tencent Holdings Ltd., (“Tencent Holdings”), to create Roblox China Holding Corp. (in which the Company holds a 51% ownership interest as it relates to the voting shares). Songhua contributed $50.0 million in capital in exchange for a 49% ownership interest in Roblox China Holding Corp. The business of the joint venture (either directly or indirectly through the joint venture’s wholly owned subsidiaries) is to engage in the (i) development, localization, and licensing of the Roblox application to Shenzhen Tencent Computer Systems Co., Ltd. for operation and publication as a game in China, and (ii) development, localization, and licensing to creators of a Chinese version of the Roblox Studio and to oversee relations with local Chinese developers.

Table of Contents

The joint venture is consolidated into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company maintains a controlling financial interest through voting rights, while the minority member of the joint venture does not have substantive participating rights or veto rights. The Company classifies the 49% ownership interest held by Songhua as a noncontrolling interest on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(the “Borrower”) issued $30.0 million aggregate principal debt which matures on May 10, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), unless earlier prepaid by the Borrower or converted by the holders into the Borrower’s voting shares. Further, the Borrower, at its sole election, may extend the maturity date by two years.

The 2026 Notes were funded by the Company and Songhua (the “Lenders”) in the amounts of $15.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum, with accrued interest payable on the final maturity date.

At any point, the Lenders may voluntarily convert the 2026 Notes into voting shares of the Borrower, provided that immediately after such conversion, the Lenders continue to own the same percentage of voting shares in the Borrower as they did immediately prior to the conversion. The conversion ratio will be determined at the time of such conversion (if any), and will be determined by dividing the then fair value of the Borrower’s voting shares (as mutually agreed to by the Lenders and Borrower) into the sum of the unpaid principal and accrued interest.

The portion of the 2026 Notes outstanding to Songhua is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and long-term debt, net as of December 31, 2024, at its principal amount, while the portion outstanding to the Company – including any related interest expense – is eliminated upon consolidation. Interest expense related to the 2026 Notes was not material for any of the periods presented.

14. Income Taxes

The Company is subject to federal and state income tax in the United States, as well as foreign tax jurisdictions in which it conducts business. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of its profitable foreign subsidiaries because it intends to permanently reinvest such earnings in foreign operations.

The provision for/(benefit from) income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted of immaterial federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its federal, state, and certain foreign net deferred tax assets as it is not likely that the deferred assets will be utilized. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate relates to the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements, such as those relating to our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, and beliefs, that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors,” “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Special Note Regarding Operating Metrics” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any periods in the future. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “Roblox,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar terms refer to Roblox Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Amounts reported in millions are rounded based on the amounts in thousands. As a result, the sum of the components reported in millions may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding. In addition, percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in thousands and may not add to their respective totals due to rounding.

Overview

People from around the world come to Roblox every day to connect with friends. Together they create, play, work, learn, and connect with each other in experiences built by our global community of creators. Our Platform is powered by user-generated content and draws inspiration from gaming, entertainment, social media, and even toys.

Our free to use immersive platform for connection and communication consists of the Roblox Client, the Roblox Studio, and the Roblox Cloud (collectively, the “Roblox Platform” or the “Platform”). Roblox Client is the free application that allows users to explore 3D immersive experiences. Roblox Studio is the free toolset that allows developers and creators to build, publish, and operate 3D immersive experiences and other content accessed with the Roblox Client. Roblox Cloud includes the services and infrastructure that power our Platform. We are continually innovating our Platform by investing in high fidelity avatars, more realistic experiences, artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools, and other social features.

Our mission is to connect a billion users with optimism and civility. We are constantly improving the ways in which our Platform supports shared experiences, ranging from how these experiences are built by an engaged community of developers and creators to how they are enjoyed and safely accessed by users across the globe. We also believe there is a strong potential to capture a greater percentage of the global gaming market within the Roblox ecosystem. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for creators and developers to build better and safer experiences, including games, and ultimately reach more users. We continue to invest in creating tools for our developers designed to promote key experience genres and deepen engagement on our Platform.

Consistent with our free to play business model, a small portion of our users have historically been payers. For example, in the three months ended September 30, 2025, of our 151.5 million average DAUs, only approximately 2,250,000 represented our average daily unique paying users. Similarly, in the three months ended September 30, 2025, our average daily bookings per DAU was $0.14, whereas our average daily bookings per daily unique paying user was $9.28. We believe that maintaining and growing our overall number of DAUs, including the number of DAUs who may not purchase and spend Robux, is important to the success of our business. As a result, we believe that the number of DAUs who choose to purchase and spend Robux will continue to constitute a small portion of our overall users.

We are constantly innovating our safety tools and launching new safeguards to promote a safe and enjoyable environment for all our users. As our safety teams continue to innovate and use advancements in technology to help users feel safe on our Platform, we expect to continue to implement Platform policy, product, technology and other changes, including in anticipation of and in response to regulatory requirements and evolving guidance from leading global organizations focused on child and internet safety in the U.S. and abroad. Specifically, in the near future, we expect to expand age verification and/or assurance technology, parental consents or identification verification for users who access voice or text-based chat on the Roblox Platform. Our safety changes have impacted and in the future may continue to impact user engagement, retention, revenue, and bookings, particularly from younger users.

Our primary areas of investment have been, and we expect will continue to be, our developer and creator community, and the people, technology, and infrastructure, including our trust and safety systems, required to keep improving the Roblox Platform while maintaining and building a safe and civil online community. These areas of focus are how we drive the business, and along with payment processing fees, represent our primary operating costs.

Key Metrics

We believe our performance is dependent upon many factors, including the key metrics described below that we track and review to measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions.

Operating Metrics

We manage our business by tracking several operating metrics, including those outlined below. As a management team, we believe each of these operating metrics provides useful information to investors and others. For complete definitions and limitations of these metrics, refer to the section titled “Special Note Regarding Operating Metrics” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Average Daily Active Users (“DAUs”)

We define a DAU as a user who has logged in and visited Roblox through our website or application on a unique registered account on a given calendar day. If a registered, logged in user visits Roblox more than once within a 24-hour period that spans two calendar days, that user is counted as a DAU only for the first calendar day. We track DAUs as an indicator of the size of the audience engaged on our Platform. We believe that the long-term growth in DAUs reflects the increasing value of our Platform.

Table of Contents

Hours Engaged

We define hours engaged as the time spent by our users on the Platform. We calculate total hours engaged as the aggregate of user session lengths in a given period. We estimate this length of time using internal company systems that track user activity on our Platform as discrete events, and aggregate these discrete activities into a user session. A given user session on our Platform may include, among other things, time spent in experiences, in Roblox Studio, in Platform features such as chat and avatar personalization, in the Creator Store, and some amount of non-active time due to limits within the tracking systems and our estimation methodology. We believe that the growth in hours engaged reflects the increasing value of our Platform.

Table of Contents

Bookings

Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents the sales activity in a given period without giving effect to certain non-cash adjustments. Bookings 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. Refer to the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for further discussion on this measure, including its limitations.

Below we also include revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP, the most directly comparable financial measure to bookings.

We believe that DAUs, hours engaged, and bookings are highly correlated and over long periods of time, we would expect hours engaged to grow slightly faster than DAUs, and bookings to grow faster than hours engaged. There are many reasons, but generally over long periods of time, as the content on our Platform improves and DAUs increase in tenure, hours engaged tend to go up. Similarly, over time as the content improves and our Platform functionality gets better, we expect more users to become payers and for payers, on average, to increase their purchase of Robux which drives up both average bookings per monthly unique payer and overall bookings per hour engaged. Further, we expect growth in our payers and monetization to lead to growth in revenue and bookings. Within any given period, the relative behavior of the metrics has not been, and will not always be, consistent. For example, in periods of high international growth we may see hours engaged grow faster than bookings as a result of the variation in regional monetization. Additionally, engagement and monetization may vary depending on the popularity and virality of certain experiences.

Table of Contents

Average Bookings per DAU (“ABPDAU”)

We define ABPDAU as bookings in a given period divided by the DAUs for the same period. We use ABPDAU as a way to understand our monetization across our users.

Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for the definition of and discussion on bookings, including its limitations as a non-GAAP financial measure.

Table of Contents

Average Monthly Unique Payers

We define monthly unique payers as user accounts that made a payment on the Platform or redeemed a prepaid card during a given month. Average monthly unique payers for a specified period is the average of the monthly unique payers for each month during that period. We use this measure to understand our monetization across our payers.

Average Bookings per Monthly Unique Payer

We define average bookings per monthly unique payer as bookings in the specified period divided by the average monthly unique payers for the same specified period. We use this measure to understand our monetization across our payers through the sale of virtual currency and subscriptions. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for the definition of and discussion on bookings, including its limitations as a non-GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance: bookings, Adjusted EBITDA, and 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. However, 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 each non-GAAP financial measure used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are included below. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Table of Contents

Bookings

Bookings represent the sales activity in a given period without giving effect to certain non-cash adjustments, as detailed below. Substantially all of our bookings are generated from sales of virtual currency, which can ultimately be converted to virtual items on the Roblox Platform. Sales of virtual currency reflected as bookings include one-time purchases or monthly subscriptions purchased via payment processors or through prepaid cards. Bookings are initially recorded in deferred revenue and recognized as revenues over the estimated period of time the virtual items purchased with the virtual currency are available on the Roblox Platform (estimated to be the average lifetime of a paying user) or as the virtual items purchased with the virtual currency are consumed. 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. Over the long term, the factors impacting our revenue and bookings trends are the same. However, in the short-term, there are factors that may cause revenue and bookings trends to differ.

The following table presents a reconciliation of revenue, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to bookings, for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents our GAAP consolidated net loss, excluding interest income, interest expense, other (income)/expense, net, provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain other nonrecurring adjustments and differs from Covenant Adjusted EBITDA which is used in certain covenant calculations specified in the indenture governing our senior notes due 2030 (the “Indenture”). Refer to the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for the definition of and discussion on Covenant Adjusted EBITDA.

We believe that, when considered together with reported GAAP amounts, Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and ongoing operating trends. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the definition used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

The following table presents a reconciliation of consolidated net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA, for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Free cash flow

Free cash flow represents the net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities less purchases of property and 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 and cash equivalents generated from our core operations that, after the purchases of property and equipment, and intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitions, can be used for strategic initiatives.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to free cash flow, for each of the periods presented (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Purchases of intangible assets	(1,000)		(1,370)
Free cash flow	$	1,045,803	$	520,669

Acquisition of property and equipment primarily includes leasehold improvements related to our leased office spaces and data centers, servers, infrastructure equipment, and capitalized software licenses.

Change in Accounting Estimate

At the onset of each quarter, we complete an assessment of our estimated average lifetime of a paying user, which is used for revenue recognition of durable virtual items and calculated based on historical monthly retention data for each paying user cohort to project future participation on the Roblox Platform. Following that assessment and effective April 1, 2024, the average lifetime of a paying user was estimated to be 27 months, a decrease compared to the previous estimate of 28 months. The estimated paying user life remained at 27 months through September 30, 2025.

Based on the carrying amount of deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenue as of March 31, 2024, the change resulted in an increase in revenue and cost of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $26.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $85.3 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

Refer to the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Revenue Recognition” as described in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025, for further background on the Company’s process to estimate the average lifetime of a paying user.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate substantially all of our revenue through the sale of or access to virtual content to users, enabling them to enhance their social experience on the Roblox Platform. We recognize revenue over the estimated period of time the virtual content is available to the user on the Roblox Platform (estimated average lifetime of a paying user) or at the time the virtual content is consumed. In recent periods, we have seen an increase in user purchases of consumable virtual content, which results in a higher amount of revenue from bookings generated in the same period. For example, consumable virtual items accounted for 22% and 14% of virtual item-related revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 8% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the future, we expect to continue seeing the mix of durable and consumable revenues shift in either direction based on user purchasing preferences, the variety of virtual content being offered by developers and creators, and seasonal variations, amongst other factors.

The estimated average lifetime of a paying user is calculated based on the monthly retention data for each paying user cohort. We then calculate the average retention period by determining the weighted-average period paying users have spent on the Platform and are projected to participate on the Roblox Platform.

Other revenue streams include an insignificant amount of revenue from advertising and licensing arrangements. We plan to invest in and expand our advertising business for the foreseeable future.

All of our revenue is recorded net of taxes assessed by a government authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue transactions between us and our users, and estimated chargebacks and refunds.

Costs and expenses

We allocate shared costs, such as certain facilities (including rent and depreciation on equipment and leasehold improvements shared by all departments), software costs, and certain other operating expenses, to all departments based on headcount. As such, allocated shared costs are reflected in each expense category, with the exception of cost of revenue and developer exchange fees expense.

Personnel costs generally include employee expenses (salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense) and contractor expenses, and are reflected in each expense category, with the exception of cost of revenue and developer exchange fees. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, personnel costs were $537.3 million and $1,564.2 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $467.4 million and $1,390.7 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of third-party payment processing fees charged by the various distribution channels in connection with sales of our virtual currency. We initially defer payment processing fees and recognize them as expense over the same period as the respective revenue. Cost of revenue also includes sales tax expense for jurisdictions where the Company does not collect sales tax from the purchaser at the time of the sale and costs associated with the printing of prepaid cards.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue is affected by shifts in user purchasing preferences and trends, including those influenced by Robux offerings made by the Company, such as differential Robux pricing. Differential Robux pricing launched in November 2024, and offers more Robux for users purchasing Robux through payment processing channels with lower transaction processing fees. Since the introduction of differential Robux pricing, we have seen some shift of our sales towards distribution channels with lower transaction processing fees, such as desktop and prepaid cards. In the future, we expect to continue seeing the overall distribution channel mix shift based on user purchasing preferences, including those influenced by Robux offerings made by the Company, demographics, and seasonal variations.

We intend to use nearly all of any efficiencies earned in this area over time to increase earnings for our developers and creators.

Developer exchange fees

Developer exchange fees expense represent the amount earned by developers and creators on the Roblox Platform that are qualified and registered in the Developer Exchange Program. Developers and creators are able to exchange their earned Robux for fiat currency under certain conditions outlined in our Developer Exchange Program. Developers and creators can earn Robux through the sale of access to their experiences and enhancements in their experiences, the incorporation of immersive ads, the sale of content and tools between developers through the Creator Store, and the sale of items to users through the Marketplace.

Through July 23, 2025, developers also were able to earn Robux through our engagement-based payouts (“EBP”) program which rewarded developers based on the number of hours spent in their experiences by Roblox Premium subscribers. Beginning July 24, 2025, our EBP program was replaced by our Creator Rewards program, a bonus program that allows creators who publish experiences to earn directly from the engagement their content drives on our Platform. We expect that moving forward, aggregate creator earnings under our Creator Rewards program will exceed aggregate creator earnings under the previous EBP program.

Beginning September 5, 2025, we increased the exchange rate of earned Robux to fiat currency by 8.5% for all Robux earned by developers and creators in our Developer Exchange Program. The change applies prospectively to all earned Robux.

In order to be qualified for our Developer Exchange Program and eligible to exchange earned Robux for fiat currency, developers and creators must meet certain conditions, such as having earned the minimum amount of Robux required to qualify for the program, a verified developer account, and an account in good standing. On January 31, 2022, we reduced the minimum amount of earned Robux required to qualify for the program from 100,000 Robux to 50,000 Robux and subsequently on January 31, 2023, we further reduced the minimum requirement from 50,000 Robux to 30,000 Robux. We believe these reductions in the minimum amounts required further incentivize our developer and creator community, and promote the long-term growth and the health of such community. As of September 30, 2025, over 32,000 developers and creators qualified for and were registered in our Developer Exchange Program.

A major goal of ours is to continue increasing developer and creator earnings by continuing to (i) create new earnings methods and enhancing existing ones and (ii) pass on efficiencies realized in other areas of our business, while maintaining reasonable margins.

Infrastructure and trust & safety

Infrastructure and trust & safety expenses consist primarily of expenses related to the operation of our data centers and technical infrastructure. These costs include third-party service provider costs, such as cloud computing or other hosting and data storage, facilities-related expenses for our co-located data centers and edge data centers that we lease and operate, and network and bandwidth costs, as well as depreciation and associated support and maintenance costs of our servers and infrastructure equipment. Depreciation and amortization expense related to infrastructure and trust & safety in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $45.6 million and $133.3 million, respectively, and in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $61.3 million and $152.9 million, respectively.

We plan to continue increasing the capacity, capability, and reliability of our infrastructure to support more sophisticated content, more users, and increased engagement. In fiscal year 2023, we invested heavily in our infrastructure, and as a result, were able to moderate our investment in infrastructure throughout fiscal year 2024 and into the first quarter of 2025. Since that time, our investment in infrastructure has grown to meet the demands of continued Platform growth. Over the long term, we expect to increase our investment to support our global infrastructure. We intend to achieve scalability by building and maintaining our own technical infrastructure, while generating operating leverage over the long term.

Infrastructure and trust & safety expenses also include personnel costs, moderation and customer support related costs, and allocated overhead expenses. We have been and expect to continue investing in AI and automation to increase the accuracy and efficiency of our safety moderation and customer support related efforts, which has increased the quality of our safety and civility systems and led to a decrease in safety moderation and customer support costs in recent periods.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and allocated overhead expenses for our engineering, design, product management, data science, and other employees engaged in maintaining and enhancing the functionality of the Platform. We plan to increase research and development expenses for the foreseeable future primarily driven by increased headcount to develop new features, functionality, and innovation of our product. We expect to continue generating operating leverage generally through the end of fiscal year 2025.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and allocated overhead for our finance and accounting, legal, human resources, talent acquisition, and other administrative teams. General and administrative expenses also include professional services fees such as outside legal, accounting, audit, and outsourcing services, and other corporate expenses, as well as certain accruals and settlements associated with legal proceedings. We generally expect to increase general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future, primarily to support the growth and increasing complexity of our business.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and allocated overhead for our marketing, business development, brand partnerships, and developer relations functions, as well as user acquisition expenses. Other expenses include those associated with market research, branding, public relations, and developer relations programs, including our annual Roblox Developer Conference. We plan to increase our sales and marketing expenses for the foreseeable future, primarily to support the growth of our business.

Interest income

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned and accretion/(amortization) of our short-term investments, long-term investments, and cash equivalents.

Interest expense

Interest expense consists primarily of contractual interest and amortization of debt issuance costs on our 3.875% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”).

Other income/(expense), net

Other income/(expense), net primarily includes foreign currency exchange gains/(losses) and realized gains/(losses) on our short-term and long-term investments, as well as certain insurance recoveries (if any).

Provision for/(benefit from) income taxes

Provision for/(benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions and U.S. federal and state income taxes. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our federal, state, and certain foreign deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not likely that the deferred assets will be utilized.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into U.S. law. The OBBBA contains numerous tax reform provisions including immediate deduction of domestic research and development expenditures and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. The effect of tax law changes are recognized in the period of enactment, which was the third quarter of 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the financial statements due to the forecasted U.S. taxable loss and the full valuation allowance on the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets.

Revenue	$	1,359,646	$	918,953	48	%	$	3,475,530	$	2,613,796	33	%

Revenue increased $440.7 million, or 48%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase in revenue recognized from current period bookings and a higher amortization of prior period deferred revenue. The increase in revenue recognized from current period bookings was driven by an increase in bookings, coupled with an increase in consumable virtual item-related revenue, which accounted for 22% of virtual-item related revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 8% in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in bookings during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a higher average number of daily unique paying users during the current period, which increased from approximately 1,143,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2024 to approximately 2,250,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The average number of daily unique paying users represents the number of user accounts that made a payment on the Platform, including redemption of prepaid cards for Robux, on an average daily basis during the respective period.

Revenue increased $861.7 million, or 33%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase in revenue recognized from current period bookings and a higher amortization of prior period deferred revenue. The increase in revenue recognized from current period bookings was driven by an increase in bookings, coupled with an increase in consumable virtual item-related revenue, which accounted for 14% of virtual-item related revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the amortization of prior period deferred revenue was supplemented by the decrease of the estimated average lifetime of a paying user to 27 months in the second quarter of 2024. Refer to the heading “Change in Accounting Estimate” earlier in this section above for more information on the change in paying user life estimates in fiscal year 2024.

The increase in bookings during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a higher average number of daily unique paying users during the current period, which increased from approximately 1,013,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to approximately 1,650,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Cost of revenue	$	296,456	$	204,998	45	%	$	757,294	$	582,421	30	%

Cost of revenue increased $91.5 million, or 45%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $87.9 million in expense for payment processing fees, primarily driven by an increase in cost of revenue generated by current period payment processing fees from the related growth in bookings and a higher amortization of prior period deferred cost of revenue. The increase in cost of revenue recognized from current period payment processing fees was driven by an increase in bookings, coupled with the aforementioned increase in consumable virtual item-related revenue, as the payment processing fees are expensed over the same period as the respective revenue.

Table of Contents

Cost of revenue increased $174.9 million, or 30%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $169.2 million in expense for payment processing fees, primarily driven by an increase in cost of revenue generated by current period payment processing fees from the related growth in bookings and a higher amortization of prior period deferred cost of revenue. The increase in cost of revenue recognized from current period payment processing fees was driven by an increase in bookings, coupled with the aforementioned increase in consumable virtual item-related revenue, as the payment processing fees are expensed over the same period as the respective revenue.

Developer exchange fees	$	427,931	$	231,536	85	%	$	1,025,866	$	642,211	60	%

Developer exchange fees increased $196.4 million, or 85%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in amounts earned by developers and creators due to the growth in bookings over the same period. The growth in developer exchange fees exceeded the growth in bookings, primarily driven by (i) differential Robux pricing which launched in November 2024, and offers more Robux for users purchasing Robux through payment processing channels with lower transaction processing fees, which in turn increases the supply of Robux available for developers to earn, (ii) the launch of Creator Rewards in July 2025, which generated higher expense than our legacy EBP program in the prior period, and (iii) the increase of the exchange rate of earned Robux to fiat currency by 8.5% for Robux earned by developers and creators prospectively from September 5, 2025 onwards.

Developer exchange fees increased $383.7 million, or 60%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in amounts earned by developers and creators due to the growth in bookings over the same period.

Infrastructure and trust & safety expenses increased $76.8 million, or 31%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily driven by an increase of $61.1 million related to data center and technical infrastructure expenses (including depreciation and amortization) and hosting costs associated with providing the Platform to our users. The overall change in data center and technical infrastructure expenses reflects the one-time $17.9 million acceleration of depreciation expense in the third quarter of 2024 related to the Company’s re-assessment of the estimated useful life of certain software licenses.

The increase in infrastructure and trust & safety expenses was supplemented by an increase of $13.8 million in personnel costs, which includes an increase of $7.5 million in stock-based compensation expense, primarily due to an increase in headcount to support our infrastructure growth.

Infrastructure and trust & safety expenses increased $131.6 million, or 19%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments of $5.2 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, which were primarily held for working capital purposes, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. Our investment policy and strategy are focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity requirements. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and, to a lesser extent, sales of convertible preferred stock, borrowings under our credit facilities, and the sale of our 2030 Notes. We require payment upfront for substantially all of our bookings.

On October 29, 2021, we issued the 2030 Notes, which will mature on May 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2022. The net proceeds from the 2030 Notes issuance were approximately $987.5 million and we intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital purposes, capital expenditures, and acquisitions.

The 2030 Notes are unsecured obligations and the Indenture contains covenants limiting the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to: (i) create certain liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (ii) create, assume, incur, or guarantee indebtedness; or (iii) consolidate or merge with or into, or sell or otherwise dispose of all of substantially all of the Company and its subsidiaries’ assets to another person, all of which are limited to amounts not to exceed the greater of $4.0 billion and 3.5x “Consolidated EBITDA” (as defined in the Indenture and referred to as “Covenant Adjusted EBITDA” throughout this section). Non-compliance with these covenants may result in the acceleration of repayment of the 2030 Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest.

Accordingly, the Company presents Covenant Adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with “Consolidated EBITDA” as that term is defined in the Indenture, which is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not conform to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA by other companies. Covenant Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for a measure of our financial performance or other liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and is also not indicative of income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that this calculation is useful to investors for purposes of analyzing our compliance with certain covenants specified in the Indenture.

As of September 30, 2025, contractual obligations related to the 2030 Notes are remaining payments of $19.4 million in 2025, $38.8 million each year from 2026 through 2029, and $1,019.4 million due in 2030. These amounts represent principal and interest cash payments over the term of the 2030 Notes based on the stated maturity date. Any future redemption of the 2030 Notes could impact the amount or timing of our cash payments. For more information regarding the 2030 Notes, refer to Note 8, “Debt” to the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

For all periods presented, we have generated losses from our operations and positive cash flows from operating activities. A substantial source of our net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities is our deferred revenue, which is included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as a liability. Deferred revenue consists of the unearned portion of bookings for which we have not yet satisfied our performance obligations. Our deferred revenue obligation is recognized as revenue over the estimated average lifetime of a paying user or as the virtual items are consumed.

We also expect to continue making investments in our business, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures related to our technology infrastructure.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, together with expected cash to be provided by future operations, will be sufficient to meet our needs for the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, investment in our headcount, capital expenditures to build out new facilities and purchase hardware for infrastructure, timing and extent of spending to support our efforts to develop our Platform, amongst other factors. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may seek to raise additional funds at any time through equity, equity-linked arrangements, or debt. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired and at reasonable rates, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected. See the section titled “Risk Factors” for more information.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025		2024
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow Data:
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities	$	1,189,360	$	637,825
Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities	$	(973,125)	$	(767,560)
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities	$	84,505	$	52,746

Operating activities

Our largest source of operating cash is cash collection from sales of Robux and monthly subscriptions. Our primary uses of net cash and cash equivalents from operating activities are for payment processing fees, personnel-related expenses, data center and infrastructure-related operations, developer exchange fees, and other operating expenses.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities was $1,189.4 million, which consisted of consolidated net loss of $753.5 million, adjusted by non-cash charges of $1,035.5 million and net cash inflows from the change in net operating assets and liabilities of $907.4 million. The non-cash charges were primarily comprised of stock-based compensation expense of $830.6 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $162.8 million. The net cash and cash equivalents inflow from the change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $1,113.1 million increase in deferred revenue, primarily due to bookings generated in the current period, and a $52.1 million increase in our developer exchange liability, primarily driven by the increase in bookings generated in the current period, coupled with the timing of payments. The overall increase was offset by a $208.6 million increase in deferred cost of revenue, primarily due to payment processing fees incurred in the current period, and a $84.6 million decrease related to the payment of operating lease liabilities.

Investing activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities was $973.1 million, primarily consisting of $829.6 million of investment purchases – net of sales and maturities, and capital expenditures of $142.6 million.

Financing activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities was $84.5 million, driven by the exercise of stock options and purchase of shares under our employee stock purchase plan.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has letters of credit in connection with its office facilities in San Mateo, California and data center facilities in Ashburn, Virginia and Chicago, Illinois which are not reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to the Company’s letters of credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other purposes.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual commitments include obligations under operating leases for office facilities and data center operations. There have been no material changes to the nature of our operating lease commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, except for lease commitments primarily related to office facilities and space for data center operations in the ordinary course of business.

Other purchase obligations primarily consist of non-cancellable obligations with our data center hosting providers, software vendors, and payment processors. There have been no material changes in the Company’s purchase obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other than for non-cancellable obligations primarily related to data center hosting providers, software vendors, and payment processors in the ordinary course of business.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025 for additional information regarding our contractual commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Our estimates are based on various factors that we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the condensed consolidated financial statements.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2025, our cash equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term investments primarily consist of debt securities, including corporate debt securities, commercial paper, money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and U.S. agency securities. Our debt securities are subject to market risk due to changes in prevailing interest rates that may cause their fair values to fluctuate in the future. Based on a sensitivity analysis, we have determined that a hypothetical 100 basis points increase in interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair values of our debt securities of approximately $43.5 million as of September 30, 2025. Such losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity.

We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our investment policy and strategy are focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity requirements.

In October 2021, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes were issued at par and we incurred approximately $12.5 million in debt issuance costs. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2022, and the entire outstanding principal amount of the 2030 Notes is due at maturity on May 1, 2030. The 2030 Notes have a fixed interest rate; therefore, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates with respect to the 2030 Notes. Additionally, on our balance sheet we carry the 2030 Notes at face value less unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, and we present the fair value for disclosure purposes only. The fair value of our 2030 Notes will fluctuate with movements in interest rates, increasing in periods of declining rates of interest and declining in periods of increasing rates of interest, as well as from other factors.

Foreign Currency Exchange and Inflation Risk

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about foreign currency exchange risk or inflation risk. For more information, refer to Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

A description of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business is set forth below. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

Risk Factors Summary

Below is a summary of the principal factors that make an investment in our Class A common stock speculative or risky:

•We have a history of net losses and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

•Our business is affected by seasonal demands, and our financial condition and results of operations will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which makes our financial results difficult to predict and may not fully reflect our underlying performance.

•We are subject to laws and regulations worldwide, many of which are unsettled and still developing, which could increase our costs or adversely affect our business, including preventing our ability to operate our Platform in certain jurisdictions.

•We have experienced rapid growth at times, in part due to the virality of certain experiences on our Platform, and our growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth or the growth of our market.

•We depend on effectively operating with third-party operating systems, hardware, and networks that may make changes affecting our operating costs, as well as our ability to maintain our Platform, which would hurt our business.

•The success of our business model is contingent upon maintaining a strong reputation and brand, including our ability to provide a safe online environment for our users, many of whom are children, to experience and if we are not able to provide such an environment, our business will suffer dramatically.

•We must continue to attract and retain users, developers, and creators, and highly qualified personnel in very competitive markets to continue to execute on our business strategy and growth plans, and the loss of key personnel or failure to attract and retain users, developers, and creators could significantly harm our business.

•We depend on our developers to create digital content that our users find compelling, and if we fail to properly incentivize our developers and creators to develop and monetize content, our business will suffer.

•If we experience outages, constraints, disruptions, or degradations in our services, Platform support, and/or technological infrastructure, our ability to provide sufficiently reliable services to our users and maintain the performance of our Platform could be negatively impacted, which could harm our relationships with our developers, creators, and users, and, consequently, our business.

•If the security of our Platform is compromised, it could compromise our and our developers’, creators’, and users’ private information, disrupt our internal operations and harm public perception of our Platform, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer.

•Because we recognize revenue from bookings over the estimated average lifetime of a paying user or as the virtual items are consumed, changes in our business may not be immediately reflected in our operating results.

•The expansion of our Platform outside the United States exposes us to risks inherent in international operations.

•Our user metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may significantly harm and negatively affect our reputation and our business.

•We may incur liability as a result of content published using our Platform or as a result of claims related to content generated by our developers, creators, and users, including copyright infringement, and legislation regulating content on our Platform may require us to change our Platform or business practices.

•We are subject to numerous legal proceedings that are costly and time-consuming to defend and could harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations, if resolved adversely.

•The public trading price of our Class A common stock is volatile and could decline regardless of our operating performance.

Table of Contents

•The dual class stock structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control in our Founder, which may limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval of any change of control transaction.

•If securities or industry analysts, media, or other third parties do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendation regarding our Class A common stock adversely, the market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock could decline.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of net losses and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We have incurred net losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur net losses in the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses attributable to common stockholders of $935.4 million, $1,151.9 million, and $924.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $4,744.7 million. We also expect our operating expenses to continue to increase, and if our growth does not increase to offset these anticipated increases in our operating expenses, our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be harmed, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability. We expect our costs and investments to continue to increase in future periods as we intend to continue to make investments to grow our business, including an expected increase in infrastructure and stock-based compensation expenses. These efforts may be more costly than we expect and may not result in increased revenue or growth of our business. In addition to the expected costs to grow our business, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses as a public company. Compliance with these additional rules and regulations continues to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and demand on our systems and requires significant attention from our senior management that could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business. If we fail to increase our revenue to sufficiently offset the increases in our operating expenses, we will not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

Our business is affected by seasonal demands, and our financial condition and results of operations will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which makes our financial results difficult to predict and may not fully reflect our underlying performance.

Historically, our business has been highly seasonal, with the highest percentage of our bookings occurring in the fourth quarter when holidays permit our users to spend increased time on our Platform and lead to increased spend on pre-paid Robux gift cards, and we expect this trend to continue. We also typically see higher levels of engagement in the months of June, July, and August, which are summer periods in the northern hemisphere, and lower levels of engagement in the post-summer months of September, October, and November. However, school holidays around the world differ in timing year-over-year and therefore have impacted and may continue to impact our quarterly results. Similarly, other periods of seasonality include holidays such as Lunar New Year, Easter, and Ramadan, each of which may differ in timing year-over-year, and therefore have impacted and may continue to impact our quarterly results. We may also experience fluctuations due to other factors outside of our control that affect user, developer, or creator engagement with our Platform.

Accordingly, our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated in the past and will fluctuate in the future, both based on the seasonality of our business as well as external factors impacting the global economy, our industry, our community and our company. Our results of operations and financial condition in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which we are unable to predict or are outside of our control as further described in our other Risk Factors included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, you should not rely on our past quarterly results of operations as indicators of future performance. You should take into account the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving market segments.

Table of Contents

We are subject to laws and regulations worldwide, many of which are unsettled and still developing, which could increase our costs or adversely affect our business, including preventing our ability to operate our Platform in certain jurisdictions.

As a global platform with users, developers, and creators in over 170 countries, we are subject to a myriad of laws and regulations that affect our business, including but not limited to, laws and regulations regarding online gaming, online safety, privacy, AI, online platform liability, social media platforms, content moderation, intellectual property ownership and infringement, consumer protection, protection of minors, anti-competition, taxation, labor, real estate, export and national security, requirements related to the use of verifiable parental consent, biometrics, cybersecurity, data protection and data localization requirements, the use of prepaid cards, subscriptions, advertising, electronic marketing, illegal content, escheatment, tariffs, anti-corruption, campaign finance, gambling, loot boxes, ratings, and telecommunications, all of which are continuously evolving and developing. We have policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but we cannot assure you that authorities will not find that our practices violate such laws and regulations.

The widespread availability of 3D user-generated content online is relatively new, and the regulatory framework is new and continuously evolving with increased legislative initiatives and regulatory focus on areas including the protection of minors online and users’ personal information, among other areas. The scope and interpretation of these laws, regulations, and other requirements that are or may be applicable to us, are often uncertain, may differ and even conflict from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and compliance may be burdensome and expensive. Moreover, in some cases these new regulations can be enforced by private parties in addition to governmental agencies.

The global laws and regulations addressing online safety, content moderation, and online platforms with social features are continuously evolving across many jurisdictions. For example, the United Kingdom’s (“U.K.”) Online Safety Act (“OSA”) introduced, among other things, duties to protect children and other users online, complete risk assessments, remove illegal content, and address content harmful to children. Noncompliance with the OSA could lead to investigations and other proceedings, substantial fines of up to £18 million or 10% of the prior year’s global revenues, and possible imposition of criminal liability on senior managers and company officers, as well as the imposition of product requirements and other measures that could restrict access to the Platform. The European Union’s (“EU”) Digital Services Act (“DSA”) imposes content moderation obligations, notice and transparency obligations, protection of minors obligations, advertising restrictions, and other requirements on digital platforms to protect consumers and their rights online. Guidelines for the DSA’s requirements specific to children include, among other matters, age assurance measures, default settings obligations and various other aspects of product design and function, risk assessment obligations, measures to improve moderation and reporting tools, and requirements for parental control tools. Noncompliance with the DSA could result in fines of up to 6% of annual global revenues, which are in addition to the ability of civil society organizations and non-governmental organizations to commence class action lawsuits. Brazil’s recently enacted online safety law will take effect in March 2026 and includes a number of similar obligations around youth and adolescent default settings, parental controls, transparency, risk assessments, advertisement, localization, and harm prevention. In addition to the passed law, regulators will issue implementing regulations that require specific implementations, which will likely evolve over time. Australia’s Online Safety Act of 2021 (“AUS OSA”) also includes a number of content and product design requirements.

Additionally, we are subject to regulations with respect to advertising, in particular, advertising to minors, and advertising regulations could differ based on the jurisdiction of a user. For example, in the U.S. the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and other regulators restrict deceptive or unfair commercial activities, including in relation to targeted advertising and advertising to minors. As we evolve our advertising products and policies, we may not be able to implement an advertising model that is compliant with regulations in all jurisdictions in which we operate. Moreover, our brand and reputation may suffer if users disagree with our advertising policies.

In the U.S., we are subject to both federal and state regulation of online services accessed and used by children, which have and may continue to vary significantly. For example, in 2024 the State of Texas enacted restrictions on purchasing by minors, including requiring parental consent for minors to purchase digital items, including on our Platform. Further, in March 2025 the States of Utah, Louisiana, and Texas enacted restrictions on applications available via app stores, which include requiring app stores to collect verifiable parental consent for minors to download applications and engage in in-app purchases, including on our Platform. In Louisiana, the law also carries a private right of action. Additional states are considering similar proposals, as is the federal government. These additional restrictions may have an adverse impact on our revenue and bookings from users in Utah, Louisiana, Texas, and in other states if enacted.

In June 2025, the Brazilian Supreme Court ruled that Article 19 of Brazil’s Internet Act is partially unconstitutional, creating platform liability for third-party content in certain instances. The resulting legal framework is in flux, but as it stands, platforms that host third party content like Roblox will be subject to presumptive civil liability for certain categories of content, as well as new regulatory requirements around localization, content moderation, transparency, risk assessment and management, and customer support. The Brazilian legislature is also considering new laws that would regulate online safety, artificial intelligence, and content ratings that, if enacted, may prohibit or restrict certain aspects of our Platform, and as a result, may have an adverse impact on our revenue and bookings from users in Brazil.

Table of Contents

In addition, there are ongoing academic, political, and regulatory discussions in the U.S., Canada, EU, U.K., Australia, Brazil, and other jurisdictions regarding whether certain mechanisms that may be included in experiences on our Platform, such as features commonly referred to as “loot boxes,” and certain genres of experiences, such as social casino, that may reward gambling-like behavior, should be subject to a higher level or different type of regulation than other genres of experiences to protect consumers, in particular minors and persons susceptible to addiction, and, if so, what such regulation should include. In some countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands, “loot box” mechanics may be considered gambling, and are restricted as a result. In Australia, gaming content containing “loot boxes” requires a mature age rating (15 years of age and older). Other jurisdictions are considering similar limitations or bans on “loot boxes.”

There are similar discussions ongoing in several jurisdictions, including the U.S., EU, and Australia, related to restricting minors’ access to social media platforms, with a particular emphasis on restricting access to features that may be considered addictive or harmful to minors. Depending on the scope of covered services, regulations such as these may affect how we configure and present our Platform, which may in turn have an adverse impact on our bookings and revenue.

Governmental agencies in any of the countries in which we, our users, developers, or creators are located from time to time have sought and continue to seek to and could in the future seek to impose restrictions on our Platform, our website, operating system platforms, application stores or the internet generally. Compliance with these existing and new laws and regulations, uncertainty over changes in laws and regulations, uncertainty over the scope and interpretation of laws and regulations that may be applicable to us, and conflicting laws and obligations, have led to, and will continue to lead to increases in the cost of compliance, moderation and doing business and exposes us to possible litigation, fines or other injunctive and monetary penalties. We have been required to and could in the future be required to modify or remove certain content in the experiences on our Platform, make certain experiences or other content inaccessible on our Platform in certain jurisdictions, change the default settings of our Platform, and modify, restrict access to, or disable certain features or tools on our Platform in certain jurisdictions, including but not limited to communication on-Platform. These requirements may impact user engagement, the functionality and effectiveness of our Platform, our ability to operate across demographics and geographies, our developers’ ability to monetize their experiences in some geographies and reduce the overall use or demand for our Platform, which would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We have been required to and could in the future be required to change our business model for specific jurisdictions or subsets of our users, and take on more onerous obligations, including, but not limited to, applying for government-issued licenses to operate, establishing a local presence in certain jurisdictions, implementing specified age rating systems in certain jurisdictions, developing localized product offerings and practices, storing user information on servers in a jurisdiction within which we operate, and developing local education initiatives. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, these laws, regulations, standards, and obligations, could be prohibitively expensive. Requirements to change age ratings of our Platform or of specific content on our Platform may make our Platform less attractive for or restrict availability to younger users and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we have partnered with the International Age Rating Coalition to facilitate age and content rating assignments for our experiences by rating authorities across various countries and regions. As we further develop our experience rating systems, ratings-based restrictions on our users’ ability to access specific content on our Platform may make our Platform less attractive for younger users and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, any inability to adequately address these burdens has led to, and in the future could lead to suspension of our Platform and/or certain features of our Platform in certain jurisdictions. Restrictions on our ability to offer our Platform or on our users’ ability to engage with our Platform may have a significant adverse impact on the revenue and bookings that we derive from those jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect our operating results and our business. We may be required to expend substantial resources or to modify our Platform substantially to comply with evolving laws and regulations or local customs, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the increased attention on liability and regulatory issues as a result of lawsuits and legislative proposals could harm our reputation or otherwise impact the growth of our business.

Moreover, the adoption of any laws or regulations adversely affecting the growth, popularity or use of the internet, including laws impacting internet neutrality, could decrease the demand for our Platform and/or increase our operating costs. The legislative and regulatory landscape regarding the regulation of the internet and, in particular, internet neutrality, in the U.S. and internationally is subject to uncertainty. Users generally need to access the internet, and also mobile platforms such as the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, to engage with experiences on our Platform, including in geographically diverse areas. If governmental or other entities block, limit or otherwise restrict developers, creators, and users from accessing our Platform, or users from engaging with experiences on our Platform, we may need to take on more onerous obligations, limit the functionality of our Platform, and/or establish certain local entities or a local presence, each of which could adversely affect our results of operations or subject us to additional fines and penalties.

Table of Contents

We have experienced rapid growth at times, in part due to the virality of certain experiences on our Platform, and our growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth or the growth of our market.

We have experienced rapid growth in prior periods relative to our quarterly forecast and historic trends, which may not be indicative of our financial and operating results in future periods. For example, historically we experienced periods of increased activity levels due in part to the COVID-19 lockdowns, prepaid gift card partnerships, and from the emergence of viral hits, each of which led to increased demand for and engagement with our Platform. These periods of increased activity levels, while significant, may not be sustainable. For periods of increased engagement impacted by viral experiences, our results may moderate as peak engagement of viral experiences naturally declines. The long-term impact of these increased activity levels to our business, operations, and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. We may not experience any growth in bookings or our user base during periods where we are comparing against historical periods impacted by increased activity levels. In addition, our growth could be affected to the extent certain users only engage with our Platform due to viral experiences which may not remain popular. We believe our overall market acceptance, revenue growth, and increases in bookings depend on a number of factors, some of which are not within our control. There can be no assurance that users will not reduce their usage or engagement with our Platform or reduce their discretionary spending on our Platform, particularly if the popularity of viral or other key experiences wanes, which would adversely impact our revenue and financial condition. If we are unable to continue to maintain the attractiveness of our Platform to developers, creators, and users, including through a diverse and continuously engaging set of experiences, they may no longer seek new experiences in our Platform, which would result in decreased market acceptance, fewer bookings, and lower revenue and could harm our results of operations.

We depend on effectively operating with third-party operating systems, hardware, and networks that may make changes affecting our operating costs, as well as our ability to maintain our Platform, which would hurt our ability to operate our business.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, 29% of our revenue was attributable to Robux sales through the Apple App Store and 15% of our revenue was attributable to Robux sales through the Google Play Store. Because of the significant use of our Platform on mobile devices, our application must remain interoperable with these and other popular mobile app stores and platforms, and related hardware. We are subject to the standard policies and terms of service of these operating systems, as well as policies and terms of service of the various software application stores that make our application and experiences available to our developers, creators, and users. These policies and terms of service govern the availability, promotion, distribution, content, and operation of applications and experiences on such operating systems and stores. Each provider of these operating systems and stores has broad discretion to change and interpret its terms of service and policies with respect to our Platform and those changes may be unfavorable to us and our developers’, creators’, and users’ use of our Platform. If an operating system provider or application store limits or discontinues access to, or changes the terms governing, its operating system or store for any reason, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Additionally, an operating system provider or application store could also limit or discontinue our access to its operating system or store if it establishes more favorable relationships with one or more of our competitors, launches a competing product itself, or it otherwise determines that it is in its business interests to do so. If competitors control the operating systems and related hardware our application runs on, they could make interoperability of our Platform more difficult or display their competitive offerings more prominently than ours. There is no guarantee that new devices, platforms, systems and software application stores will continue to support our Platform or that we will be able to maintain the same level of service on these new systems. If it becomes more difficult for our users, developers or creators to access and engage with our Platform, our business and user retention, growth, and engagement could be significantly harmed.

Similarly, at any time, our operating system providers or application stores can change their policies on how we operate on their operating system or in their application stores by, for example, applying content moderation for applications and advertising or imposing technical or code requirements. These actions by operating system providers or application stores may affect our ability to collect, process, and use data as desired and could negatively impact our ability to leverage data about the experiences our developers create which in turn could impact our resource planning and feature development planning for our Platform.

We rely on third-party distribution channels and third-party payment processors to facilitate purchases by our Platform users. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such providers, if their terms and conditions change, or fail to process or ensure the safety of users’ payments, our business will suffer.

Purchases of Robux and other products (e.g., prepaid gift cards) or services on our Platform are facilitated through third-party online distribution channels and third-party payment processors. We utilize these distribution channels, such as Amazon, Apple, Blackhawk, ePay, Google, Incomm, PayPal, Stripe, Microsoft, Sony’s PlayStation Network and Xsolla, to receive cash proceeds from purchases of Robux. For our experiences accessed through mobile platforms such as the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store and consoles, we are required to share a portion of the proceeds from in-game sales with the platform and console providers. For operations through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, we are obligated to pay up to 30% of any money paid by users on our Platform to Apple and Google and this amount could increase. For operations through console providers, such as Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation, we are obligated to pay around 30% of any money paid by users on our Platform, and these amounts could also increase. These costs are expected to remain a significant operating expense for the foreseeable future. If the amount these platform providers charge increases, it could have a material impact on our ability to pay developers and our results of operations. Each provider of an operating system, application store or console may also change its fee structure or add fees associated with access to and use of its operating system, which could have an adverse impact on our business. There has been litigation, as well as governmental inquiries over application store fees, and Apple or Google could modify their platform in response to such litigation and inquiries in a manner that may harm us. Any scheduled or unscheduled interruption in the ability of our users to transact with these distribution channels could adversely affect our payment collection and, in turn, our revenue and bookings.

Additionally, we do not directly process purchases made on our Platform or the exchange of earned Robux for fiat currency through our Developer Exchange Program. Information on those purchases or exchanges (e.g., debit and credit card numbers and expiration dates, personal information, and billing addresses) is disclosed to the third-party online platform and service providers facilitating purchases or exchanges of Robux for fiat currency by users (such as Stripe, Xsolla, and Tipalti). We do not have control over the security measures of those providers, and their security measures may not be adequate. We could be exposed to litigation and possible liability if our users’ (including our developers’) transaction information involving their purchases or exchanges for fiat currency are compromised, which could harm our reputation and our ability to attract users and may materially adversely affect our business.

We also rely on the stability of such distribution channels and their payment transmissions, and third-party payment processors for the continued payment services provided to our users. If any of these providers fail to process or ensure the security of users’ payments for any reason, our reputation may be damaged and we may lose our paying users and developers interested in our Developer Exchange Program, developers may be discouraged from creating on our Platform, and users may be discouraged from making purchases on our Platform in the future, which, in turn, would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and prospects.

In addition, from time to time, we or our partners encounter fraudulent use of payment methods, which could impact our results of operations and if not adequately controlled and managed could create negative consumer perceptions of our Platform services. If we are unable to maintain our fraud and chargeback rate at acceptable levels, card networks may impose fines, our users’ card approval rate may be impacted and we may be subject to additional card authentication requirements. The termination of our ability to process payments on any major payment method would significantly impair our ability to operate our business.

The success of our business model is contingent upon maintaining a strong reputation and brand, including our ability to provide a safe online environment for our users, many of whom are children, to experience, and if we are not able to provide such an environment, our business will suffer dramatically.

Our Platform hosts experiences intended for audiences of varying ages, a significant percentage of which are designed to be experienced by children. As a user-generated content platform, it is relatively easy for developers, creators, and users to upload content that can be viewed broadly. We continue to make significant efforts to provide a safe, civil and enjoyable experience for users of all ages. Although illicit activities are in violation of our terms and policies, and we attempt to block objectionable material and ban bad actors from our Platform, we are unable to prevent all such violations from occurring and banned actors have, at times, been able to evade our detection systems and regain access to our Platform through alternative accounts.

We invest significant technical and human resources to prevent inappropriate content and activity on our Platform by using a range of tools and policies, including several designed to review all images, audio, and video at the time of upload, AI technology such as Roblox Sentinel to proactively detect early signals of child endangerment, age verification and assurance technology, and customizable controls for parents to restrict children’s access to experiences and communication features.

Notwithstanding our efforts and significant investment, bad actors have and may continue to circumvent our moderation systems by engaging in activities including, but not limited to, uploading or generating inappropriate experiences or content, creating inappropriate environments or content in otherwise non-violative experiences by engaging in offensive behavior, or directing other users off-Platform to less moderated third-party platforms to engage in inappropriate behavior. The occurrence of these activities can and has led to reputational harm, legal actions, and regulatory scrutiny on certain occasions, which could adversely affect our business and financial results. Such activities have and may continue to evolve in their complexity as bad actors become more sophisticated, which will require us to continue investing significant technical and human resources.

Some activities and content on our Platform has and may continue to be considered objectionable by certain users, parents, or members of our community, even if it does not violate our Community Standards or Terms of Use and may not be considered objectionable by certain demographics, such as teenagers. Although permitting such content to remain on our Platform is consistent with our policies, this has resulted in and could in the future result in negative publicity or user backlash, which may damage our brand and reputation, lead to a decline in user engagement and growth, and negatively impact our business, financial condition, and operating results. Additionally, violative content that has been removed from our Platform, at times, continues to be shared on social media, resulting in negative publicity and damage to our brand and reputation.

Measures intended to make our Platform more attractive to an older, age-verified audience, including but not limited to, chat without filters, trusted connections, and experiences with mature content could fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by their intended audience and have and may continue to create the perception that our Platform is not safe for younger users. This in turn has caused and may continue to cause some operating system providers, application stores, or regulatory agencies to require a higher age rating for our Platform, which could cause us to become less available to younger users and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, USK, who are responsible for game ratings in Germany, increased our age rating from USK12 to USK16 in January 2025.

We have introduced Content Maturity Labels that are intended to enable users to make informed decisions about the experiences they interact with, and we have introduced additional parental controls that help parents and caregivers manage their child’s experience on our Platform. However, users from time to time, notwithstanding our efforts, have been able to evade our systems, including by misrepresenting their age. As we begin to employ age assurance technologies, the technologies may also misclassify a user’s age. Evasion of our systems, misrepresentations of user age or inaccuracies with our age assurance technologies have led to and may continue to lead to users being exposed to inappropriate content or behavior by participating in experiences that are not age-appropriate or gaining access to features we have restricted to older users. We have at times experienced negative media coverage related to content that our Content Maturity Labels have indicated may be age-inappropriate but younger users have accessed. In addition, as more of our brand partners, developers, and creators offer physical products for sale through our Platform, younger users may be able to purchase products that may not be age-appropriate. Unintentional access to content or physical products could cause harm to our audience and to our reputation of providing a safe environment for younger users.

In addition to limiting content to age-appropriate audiences and blocking other inappropriate content, we have statutory obligations under U.S. federal law to block or remove child pornography and report apparent offenses to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Under the OSA, we have an additional set of obligations regarding content relating to child sexual abuse and exploitation (“CSEA”) on our Platform. CSEA content is considered to be one type of “priority illegal content,” which we are required to prevent individuals from encountering and swiftly take down if we are made aware. We are also required to report detected CSEA content on our Platform to the relevant authorities. While we have dedicated technology and trained human moderator staff that can detect and remove sexual content involving children, there have been instances where such content has been uploaded, and any unforeseen future non-compliance by us or allegations of non-compliance by us with respect to applicable domestic and international laws and regulations relating to child pornography and the sexual exploitation of children could significantly harm our reputation, create criminal liability, and be costly and time consuming to address or defend.

We believe that maintaining, protecting, and enhancing our reputation and brand is critical to grow the number of developers, creators, and users on our Platform, especially given the safe and civil atmosphere that we strive to achieve for our users, many of whom are children. Maintaining, protecting, and enhancing our brand will depend largely on our ability to continue to provide reliable high-quality, engaging, and shared experiences and activities on our Platform. If users, developers, or creators do not perceive our Platform to be reliable or of high quality, the value of our brand could diminish, thereby decreasing the attractiveness of our Platform. Further, we have faced and are currently defending allegations that our Platform has been used by criminal offenders to identify and communicate with children and to possibly entice them to interact off-Platform, outside of the restrictions of our moderated chat, content blockers, and other on-Platform safety measures. While we devote considerable resources to prevent this from occurring, we are unable to prevent all such interactions from taking place. We have also received and expect to continue to receive a high degree of media coverage alleging the use of our Platform for illicit or objectionable ends. For example, we have experienced negative media publicity from traditional media sources and self-described short seller investors, related to the age of some of our developers, the content that developers produce, our operating metrics and disclosures, the strength of our moderation practices, and the conduct of users on our Platform that may be deemed illicit, explicit, profane, or otherwise objectionable. Additional unfavorable publicity has covered, and may in the future cover, our privacy, cybersecurity or data protection practices, terms of service, including our advertising policies, product changes, product quality, litigation or regulatory activity, actions we take to address content on our Platform, accusations that certain of our trust and safety efforts favor certain viewpoints or suppress freedom of expression, our use of and policies regarding generative AI, the actions of our users, and the actions of our developers or creators whose products are integrated with our Platform.

Our reputation and brand could also be negatively affected by the actions of developers, contractors and users that are hostile, inappropriate, or illegal, whether on or off our Platform. Actual or perceived incidents or misuses of user data or other privacy or security incidents, the substance or enforcement of our Community Standards, the quality, integrity, characterization and age-appropriateness of content shared on our Platform, or the actions of other companies that provide similar services to ours, have and could adversely affect our reputation and lead to scrutiny and inquiries from governments and regulators. Any criminal incidents or allegations involving Roblox, whether or not we are directly responsible, could adversely affect our reputation as a safe place for children and hurt our business. Any negative publicity could create the perception that we do not provide a safe online environment and may have an adverse effect on the size, engagement, and loyalty of our developer, creator, and user community, which would adversely affect our business and financial results. Maintaining, protecting, and enhancing our reputation and brand may require us to make substantial investments, and these investments may not be successful.

If we fail to retain users or add new users, or if our users decrease their level of engagement with our Platform, revenue, bookings, and operating results will be harmed.

We view DAUs as a critical measure of our user engagement, and adding, maintaining, and engaging users has been and will continue to be necessary to our continued growth. Our DAU growth rate has fluctuated in the past and may slow in the future due to various factors including: the introduction of new or updated experiences or virtual items on our Platform; the diversity of experiences on our Platform; the virality of experiences or items on our Platform; our ability to personalize and feature relevant experiences to our users; performance issues with our Platform; the modification and/or removal of popular experiences or other content on our Platform due to factors that may or may not be within our control; the availability of our Platform across markets and user demographics, which may be impacted by regulatory or legal requirements, including the use of verifiable parental consent and age assurance technologies and policies; changes to the default settings, features, and/or tools on our Platform overall, or for specific user groups; changes to our terms of use, advertising policies and generative AI policies; and higher market penetration rates and competition from a variety of entertainment sources for our users and their time. In addition, our strategy seeks to expand the age groups and geographic markets that make up our users. If and when we achieve maximum market penetration rates among any particular user cohort overall and in particular geographic markets, future growth in DAUs will need to come from other age or geographic cohorts, which may be difficult, costly, or time consuming for us to achieve. Additionally, in the near future we expect to expand age verification and/or assurance technology, parental consents or identification verification for users who wish to access voice or text-based chat on the Platform. We also expect to expand limitations on voice and text-based chat on the Platform to include certain limits on chat between adult and minor users and between minors who are more than a few years younger or older than a user’s estimated age. We cannot currently determine how such measures may impact activities on the Platform and user engagement, retention and demographics across our Platform and whether it could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, and operations. Our safety changes have impacted and in the future may continue to impact user engagement, retention, revenue, and bookings, particularly from younger users. Accessibility to the internet and bandwidth or connectivity limitations as well as regulatory requirements, may also affect our ability to further expand our user base in a variety of geographies. If the growth rate in our key metrics such as DAUs or hours engaged slows or becomes stagnant, or we have a decline in one of our key metrics such as DAUs or hours engaged, or we fail to effectively monetize new or existing users, our financial performance could be significantly harmed.

Our business plan assumes that the demand for interactive entertainment offerings will increase for the foreseeable future. However, if this market shrinks or grows more slowly than anticipated or if demand for our Platform does not grow as quickly as we anticipate, whether as a result of competition, product obsolescence, budgetary constraints of our developers, creators, and users, technological changes, unfavorable economic conditions, uncertain geopolitical or regulatory environments or other factors, we may not be able to increase our revenue and bookings sufficiently to ever achieve profitability and our stock price would decline.

Moreover, a large number of our users are under the age of 13. This demographic may be less brand loyal and more likely to follow trends, including viral trends, than other demographics. These and other factors may lead users to switch to another entertainment option rapidly, which can interfere with our ability to forecast usage or DAUs and would negatively affect our user retention, growth, and engagement. We also may not be able to penetrate other demographics in a meaningful manner to compensate for the loss of DAUs in this age group. Falling user retention, growth, or engagement rates could seriously harm our business.

We depend on our developers to create digital content that our users find compelling, and if we fail to properly incentivize our developers and creators to develop and monetize content, our business will suffer.

Our Platform relies on our developers and creators to create experiences and virtual items on our Platform for our users, and we believe the interactions between and within the developer, creator, and user communities on our Platform create a thriving and organic ecosystem, and this network effect drives our growth. To facilitate and incentivize the creation of experiences and virtual items by developers, our Platform offers developers an opportunity to earn Robux, a virtual currency on our Platform, which, as described in our terms of use, is a license to engage in experiences and/or obtain virtual items. When virtual items are acquired on our Platform, the originating developer or creator earns a portion of the Robux paid for the item. Developers are able to exchange their accumulated earned Robux for fiat currency under certain conditions outlined in our Developer Exchange Program. In addition, we have paid access experiences where developers can offer access to their experiences to users for a set price in fiat currency and in exchange earn a higher revenue share of these user purchases.

While we have millions of developers and creators on our Platform, a substantial portion of user engagement is concentrated in a relatively small number of highly popular experiences. For example, 50% of in-experience hours engaged were spent in the top 50 experiences in the month ended December 31, 2024. At times, particularly viral experiences have constituted a substantial portion of our DAUs and engagement. While these viral experiences can drive significant short-term growth, if the popularity of such experiences wanes, and new, compelling content does not emerge to replace them, our DAUs and engagement could decline, which would have a material impact on our business, financial condition, and operations, including a loss of revenue. We continuously review and revise our Platform policies to enhance regulatory compliance and the trust and safety of our Platform. Changes to our Platform policies may reduce or create the perception that they may reduce the ability of developers to monetize their experience. For example, in the near future we expect to expand age verification and/or assurance technology, parental consents or identification verification for users who wish to access voice or text-based chat on the Platform. We also expect to expand limitations on voice and text-based chat on the Platform to include certain limits on chat between adult and minor users and between minors who are more than a few years younger or older than a user’s estimated age. If our top developers believe this change will impact the monetization and profitability of their experience, they may elect to develop user-generated content on other platforms. The loss of any of our top developers could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, and operations, including a loss of revenue.

We spend substantial amounts of time and money to research, develop, and enhance versions of our Platform to incorporate additional features, improve functionality or other enhancements and prioritize user safety and security in order to meet the rapidly evolving demands of our developers, creators, and users. Developments and innovations on our Platform may rely on new or evolving technologies which may at times be still in development and may never be fully developed. Maintaining adequate research and development resources, such as the appropriate personnel and development technology, to meet the demands of the market is essential. Despite our efforts, users, developers, or creators may become dissatisfied with our Platform technology or policies, billing or payment policies, our handling of personal data, or other aspects of our Platform. If we fail to adequately address these or other user, developer, or creator complaints, negative publicity about us or our Platform could diminish confidence in and the use of our Platform. If we do not provide the right technologies, education or financial incentives to our developers and creators, they may develop fewer experiences or virtual items or be unable to or choose not to monetize their experiences, and our users may elect to not participate in the experiences or acquire the virtual items, and, thus, our Platform, revenue, and bookings could be adversely affected. Additionally, if we fail to anticipate developers’ and creators’ needs, the quality of the content they create may not attract users to engage with experiences and result in a decline of users on our Platform. When we develop new or enhanced features for our Platform, we typically incur expenses and expend resources upfront to develop, market, promote, and sell new features, and we may not be able to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of these investments.

If we experience outages, constraints, disruptions, or degradations in our services, Platform support, and/or technological infrastructure, our ability to provide sufficiently reliable services to our users and maintain the performance of our Platform could be negatively impacted, which could harm our relationships with our developers, creators, and users, and, consequently, our business.

Our users expect fast, reliable, and resilient systems to enhance their experience and support their activity on our Platform, which depends on the continuing operation and availability of our Platform from our global network of data centers controlled and operated by us and our external service providers, including third-party “cloud” computing services. Our reliance on these third-party providers introduces inherent risks, as their actions, security practices, and operational resilience directly impact our ability to deliver services. We also provide services to our developer and creator community through our Platform, including DevForum and Creator Hub for tutorials, hosting, customer service, regulatory compliance, and translation, among many others. The experiences and technologies on our Platform are complex software products and maintaining the sophisticated internal and external technological infrastructure required to reliably deliver these experiences and technologies is expensive and complex. The reliable delivery and stability of our Platform has been, and could in the future be, adversely impacted by outages, disruptions, failures, or degradations in our network and related infrastructure or those of our partners or service providers, including those stemming from vulnerabilities in authentication mechanism, service spoofing, or the complexities of managing micro-systems architecture.

We have experienced outages from time to time since our inception when our Platform is unavailable for all or some of our users, developers, and creators, including in June 2025, October 2024, May 2022, October 2021, and at other times during our history. In addition, there may be times when access to our Platform for users, developers, and creators may be temporarily unavailable or limited. This could be due to proactive actions we take while we provide critical updates or as an unexpected outcome of routine maintenance, which most recently occurred in July 2023. Outages can be caused by a number of factors, including a move to a new technology or security vulnerabilities in new or existing technologies, the demand on our Platform exceeding the capabilities of our technological infrastructure, delays or failures resulting from natural disasters, manmade disasters, or other catastrophic events, the migration of data among data centers and to third-party hosted environments, a cyber event or act of terrorism, and issues relating to our reliance on third-party software, third-party application stores, and third parties that host our Platform in areas where we do not operate our own data centers. The unavailability of our Platform, particularly if outages should become more frequent or longer in duration, could cause our users to seek other entertainment options, including those provided by our competitors, which may adversely affect our financial results. If we or our partners or third-party service providers experience outages and our Platform is unavailable or if our developers, creators, and users are unable to access our Platform within a reasonable amount of time or at all, as a result of any such events, our reputation and brand may be harmed, developer, creator and user engagement with our Platform may be reduced, and our revenue, bookings and profitability could be, and has been in the past, negatively impacted. We may also experience a negative impact to our financial results as a result of decreased usage on our Platform or decrease of payouts to developers and creators, as well as potential monetary penalties, including regulatory fines related to an outage determined to be a significant security incident. We may not have full redundancy for all of our systems at all times and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by technological exploitation used by threat actors and to address all aspects of any consequence or incident or allow us to maintain business continuity at profitable levels or at all. Further, in the event of damage or service interruption, our business interruption insurance policies will not adequately compensate us for losses that we may incur. These factors in turn could further reduce our revenues, subject us to liability, or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

In addition to the events described above, our data and our technological infrastructure may also be subject to government laws, administrative actions or regulations, changes to legal or permitting requirements, and litigation that could stop, limit, or delay operations. Despite a reliability program focused on anticipating and solving issues that may impact the availability of our Platform and precautions taken at our data centers, such as disaster recovery and business continuity arrangements, the occurrence of spikes in usage volume, the occurrence of a natural disaster, a cyber event or act of terrorism, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice, our inability to secure additional or replacement data center capacity as needed, increased energy consumption as a result of AI-related growth, or other unanticipated problems at our data centers could result in interruptions or delays on our Platform, impede our ability to scale our operations or have other adverse impacts upon our business and adversely impact our ability to serve our developers, creators, and users.

Customer support personnel and technologies are critical to resolve issues and to allow developers, creators, and users to realize the full benefits that our Platform provides and provide an excellent customer experience. High-quality support is important for the retention of our existing developers, creators, and users and to encourage the expansion of their use of our Platform. We rely on third-party service providers for a variety of services, including to assist in our customer support. Our third-party service providers, employees, developers, and users have been and may in the future be a source of exploitation for threat actors to attempt to compromise our systems and information. For example, a third-party service provider with weak security protocols or an individual engaged by a third-party service provider with malicious intent have and could in the future inadvertently or intentionally expose our systems to unauthorized access, data breaches, or other cyber events. We do not have sufficient control over the security practices of all our third-party service providers, which could lead to vulnerabilities that can be exploited by sophisticated threat actors. If a threat actor is successful in using one or more of our third-party service providers, employees, developers, or users to compromise our systems or personal information of our users, it could impact our business and results of operation as well as our reputation.

We must continue to invest in the infrastructure required to support our Platform. If we do not help our developers, creators, and users quickly resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, our ability to maintain and expand our Platform to existing and new developers, creators, and users could suffer. In addition, if we do not make sufficient investments in servers, software or personnel in support of our infrastructure, to scale effectively and accommodate increased demands placed on our infrastructure, the reliability of our underlying infrastructure will be harmed and our ability to provide a quality experience for our developers, creators, and users will be significantly harmed. This would lead to a reduction in the number of developers, creators, and users on our Platform, a reduction in our revenues, bookings, and ability to compete, and our reputation with existing or potential developers, creators, or users could suffer.

The lack of comprehensive encryption for communications on our Platform may increase the impact of a security breach or incident.

Communications on our Platform are not comprehensively encrypted at this time. As such, any security breach or incident that involves unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, or use of communications on our Platform may be particularly impactful to our business. We may experience greater incident response forensics, data recovery, legal fees, and costs of notification related to any such potential incident or vulnerabilities, and we may face an increased risk of reputational harm, regulatory enforcement, and consumer litigation, which could further harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future business opportunities.

If the security of our Platform is compromised, it could compromise our and our developers’, creators’, and users’ private information, disrupt our internal operations, and harm public perception of our Platform, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer.

We collect and store personal data and certain other sensitive and proprietary information in the operation of our business, including developer, creator, user and employee information, and other confidential or otherwise sensitive data. While we have implemented measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to or loss of our confidential data, malware, ransomware, viruses, hacking, social engineering, spam, and phishing attacks across our organization, these types of attacks have occurred and may occur on our Platform, our systems, and those of our third-party service providers again in the future. Because of the popularity of our Platform, we believe that we are an attractive target for these sorts of attacks and have seen the frequency of these types of attacks increase over time.

The techniques used by malicious actors to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, our systems or networks, or to utilize our systems maliciously, are constantly evolving and generally are not recognized in the industry until launched against a target. Despite the measures we have taken, we at times have not been able to anticipate these techniques, detect, or react in a timely manner, or implement preventive measures, which has resulted in and could continue to result in, delays in our detection or remediation of, or other responses to, security breaches and other security-related incidents. In addition, the use of open source software in our Platform has exposed us to security vulnerabilities in the past and will likely continue to expose us to security vulnerabilities in the future. For example, in December 2021, a vulnerability in popular logging software, Log4j, was publicly announced, and while we have taken steps to patch these and similar vulnerabilities in our systems, we cannot guarantee that all vulnerabilities have been patched in every system upon which we are dependent or that additional critical vulnerabilities of open source software which we rely upon will not be discovered. Our use of AI in our products and business practices may increase or create additional cybersecurity and privacy risks, including risks of security breaches and incidents.

Our Platform and services operate in conjunction with, and we are dependent upon, third-party products, services, and components. Our reliance on third-party service providers, including cloud infrastructure providers, payment processors, analytics tools, and customer support platforms, introduces significant and evolving risks related to cybersecurity and data privacy. Our ability to monitor our third-party service providers’ cybersecurity is limited, and in any event, attackers may be able to circumvent our third-party service providers’ cybersecurity measures. There have been and may continue to be significant attacks on certain of our third-party providers, and we cannot guarantee that our or our third-party providers’ systems and networks have not been breached or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach of or disruption to our systems and networks or the systems and networks of third parties that support us and our Platform and service. Specifically, these third parties have in the past been and may in the future be targeted by sophisticated threat actors seeking to gain access to our data or systems through a less secure entry point; experience their own security incidents, data breaches, or operational failures, even if unrelated to our specific data, which could still impact our services or expose our users’ information; or employ individuals who are “bad actors” and could intentionally compromise data or systems, or who may be susceptible to social engineering or other tactics by malicious individuals. Additionally, these third parties may have inadequate security protocols, policies, or infrastructure, creating vulnerabilities that we cannot directly control; or fail to promptly identify or remediate vulnerabilities, leading to prolonged exposure.

Table of Contents

Security vulnerabilities, errors, or other bugs in these third-party products, services, or components, and security exploits targeting them or even simply the allegation of a vulnerability or security exploit targeting one of these third-party products, services, or components, has at times and could continue to cause us to face increased costs, claims, liability, reduced revenue, and harm to our reputation or competitive position. We and our service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques, react, remediate, or otherwise address any security vulnerability, breach, or other incident in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventative measures.

If any unauthorized access to our network, systems or data, including our sensitive and proprietary information, personal data from our users, developers, or creators, or other data, or any other loss or unavailability of, or unauthorized use, modification, disclosure, or other processing of personal data or any other security breach or incident, occurs or is believed to have occurred, whether as a result of third-party action, employee negligence, error or malfeasance, defects, social engineering techniques, ransomware attacks, or otherwise, our reputation, brand and competitive position could be damaged, our and our users’, developers’ and creators’ data and intellectual property could potentially be lost or compromised, and we could be required to spend capital and other resources to alleviate problems caused by such actual or perceived breaches or incidents and remediate our systems. In the past, we have experienced social engineering and phishing attacks, and if similar attacks occur and are successful, this could have a negative impact on our business or result in unfavorable publicity. Additionally, we contract with certain third parties to store and process certain data for us, including our distribution channels, and these third parties face similar risks of actual and potential security breaches and incidents, which could present similar risks to our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.

We incur significant costs in an effort to detect and prevent security breaches and other security-related incidents, including those to secure our product development, test, evaluation, and deployment activities, and we expect our costs will increase as we make improvements to our systems and processes to prevent future breaches and incidents. The economic costs to us to reduce cyber or other security problems, such as spammers, errors, bugs, flaws, “cheating” programs, defects or corrupted data, could be significant and may be difficult to anticipate or measure. Even the perception of these issues may cause developers, creators, and users to use our Platform less or stop using it altogether, and the costs could divert our attention and resources, any of which could result in claims, demands, and legal liability to us, regulatory investigations and other proceedings, and otherwise harm our business, reputation, financial condition, or results of operations. There could also be regulatory fines or non-monetary penalties imposed in connection with certain cyber incidents or data breaches that take place around the world. Further, certain laws and regulations relating to privacy, biometrics, cybersecurity, and data protection, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), allow for a private right of action, which may lead to consumer litigation for certain data breaches that relate to specified categories of personal information. From time to time, we identify product vulnerabilities, including through our bug bounty program. Although we have policies and procedures in place designed to promptly characterize the potential impact of such vulnerabilities and develop appropriate patching or upgrade recommendations and also maintain policies and procedures related to vulnerability scanning and management of our internal corporate systems and networks, such policies and procedures may not be followed or detect every issue, and from time to time, we have, and may in the future again, need to proactively disable access to our Platform in order to provide necessary patching or upgrades.

Although we maintain cyber and privacy insurance, subject to applicable deductibles and policy limits, such coverage may not extend to all types of incidents relating to privacy, data protection, or cybersecurity, and it may be insufficient to cover all costs and expenses associated with such incidents. Further, such insurance may not continue to be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms, or at all, and insurers may deny us coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results, and reputation.

The expansion of our Platform outside the United States exposes us to risks inherent in international operations.

We operate our Platform throughout the world and are subject to risks and challenges associated with international business. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 83% of our DAUs and 40% of our revenue was derived from outside the U.S. and Canada region. We intend to continue to expand internationally, and this expansion is a critical element of our future business strategy. However, as we continue to expand internationally, including into developing countries where consumer discretionary spending is relatively weak, while our DAUs increase, the growth rate of our bookings could decelerate due to weaker spending by users from those regions, and our ABPDAU has been and may continue to be negatively impacted. While we have data centers, contractors, developers, creators, and users outside of the U.S., we have limited offices located outside of the U.S. and Canada, and there is no guarantee that our international expansion efforts will be successful. The risks and challenges associated with expanding our international presence and operations include:

•greater difficulty in enforcing contracts and accounts receivable collection, and longer collection periods;

•higher costs of doing business internationally, including increased accounting, travel, infrastructure, legal and compliance costs;

•double taxation of our international earnings and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in the tax laws of the U.S. or the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate;

•compliance with multiple, ambiguous, or evolving laws and regulations, including those relating to employment, tax, child protection, consumer protection, content regulation, online safety, privacy, data protection, anti-corruption, import/export, customs, anti-boycott, sanctions and embargoes, antitrust, data transfer, storage and security, content monitoring, preclusion, and removal, online entertainment offerings, advertising, and industry-specific laws and regulations, particularly as these requirements apply to users under the age of 18;

•uncertainty regarding the imposition of and changes in the U.S.’ and other governments’ trade regulations, trade wars, tariffs or other restrictions, and responsive retaliatory actions as a result thereof or other geopolitical events, including, without limitation, the evolving relations between the U.S. and China, the issuance of new executive orders and related national security-based data transfer restrictions, and geopolitical conflicts such as between Russia and Ukraine and the U.S., Iran, and Israel;

•expenses related to monitoring and complying with differing labor and employment regulations, especially in jurisdictions where labor and employment laws may be more favorable to employees than in the U.S.;

•increased exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies in markets where we do business;

•challenges inherent to efficiently recruiting and retaining qualified employees in foreign countries and maintaining our company culture and employee programs across all of our offices;

•management communication and integration problems resulting from language or cultural differences and geographic dispersion;

•the uncertainty of protection for intellectual property in some countries;

•the uncertainty of our exposure to third-party claims of intellectual property infringement and the availability of statutory safe harbors in some countries;

•foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating cash earned outside the U.S.;

•risks associated with trade restrictions and foreign legal requirements, and greater risk of unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and tax laws, trade laws, foreign investment restrictions, and export controls (including data export) and other trade restrictions;

•negative perceptions of U.S.-based companies in regions where we operate or plan to operate;

•risks relating to the implementation of exchange controls, including restrictions promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and other similar trade protection regulations and measures;

•exposure to regional or global public health issues, and to travel restrictions and other measures undertaken by governments in response to such issues;

•general economic and political conditions in these foreign markets, including political and economic instability in some countries and regions;

•localization of our services, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses and the ability to monitor and moderate our Platform in new and evolving markets and in different languages to confirm that we maintain standards, including trust and safety standards, consistent with our brand and reputation;

•regulatory frameworks or business practices favoring local competitors;

•changes in the perception of our Platform by governments in the regions where we operate or plan to operate; and

•natural disasters, acts of war, and terrorism, and resulting changes to laws and regulations, including changes oriented to protecting local businesses.

These and other factors could harm our ability to generate revenue and bookings outside of the U.S. and, consequently, adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may not be able to expand our business and attract users in international markets and doing so will require considerable management attention and resources. International expansion is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal systems, alternative dispute systems, regulatory systems and commercial infrastructures. We may not be able to offer our Platform in certain countries, and expanding our international focus may subject us to risks that we have not faced before or increase risks that we currently face. For example, our Platform has been blocked in the Republic of Türkiye and certain Middle Eastern countries and we are working with the local authorities with the goal of resolving these blocks.

If we are unable to successfully grow our user base, compete effectively with other platforms, and further monetize our Platform, our business will suffer.

We have made, and are continuing to make, investments to enable our developers and creators to design and build compelling content and deliver it to our users on our Platform. Existing and prospective developers may not be successful in creating content that leads to and maintains user engagement (including maintaining the quality of experiences); they may fail to expand the types of experiences that they can build for users; or our competitors may entice our developers, users and potential users away from, or to spend less time with, our Platform, each of which could adversely affect users’ interest in our Platform and lead to a loss of revenue opportunities and harm our results of operations. The multitude of other entertainment options, online gaming, and other interactive experiences is high, making it difficult to retain users who are dissatisfied with our Platform and seek other entertainment options.

Additionally, we may not succeed in further monetizing our Platform and user base. As a result, our user growth, user engagement, financial performance and ability to grow revenue could be significantly harmed if we fail to increase or maintain DAUs; our user growth outpaces our ability to monetize our users, including if our user growth occurs in markets that are not profitable; we fail to provide the tools and education to our developers and creators to enable them to monetize their experiences and developers do not create engaging or new experiences for users; we fail to increase the overall number of developers and creators on our Platform; we fail to establish a successful advertising model; we fail to increase or maintain the amount of time spent on our Platform, the number of experiences, or variety of genres of experiences, that our users engage with, or the usage of our technology for our developers; we fail to increase the features of our Platform, allowing it to more broadly serve the entertainment, education, communication and business markets; we fail to provide developers the tools required to create more complex and higher-fidelity experiences in competitive genres; we fail to increase penetration and engagement across all demographics, including our goal of reaching ten percent of the global gaming software market, or measures intended to make our Platform more attractive to older, age-verified users create the perception that our Platform is not safe for young users; or the experiences on our Platform do not maintain or gain popularity.

Continuing to manage our growth effectively has required, and may in the future require expanding our internal IT systems, technological operations infrastructure, financial infrastructure, and operating and administrative systems and controls. In addition, we have and may continue to expend significant resources to launch new features and changes on our Platform that we are unable to monetize, which may significantly harm our business. Any future growth would add more complexity to our organization and require effective coordination across our organization, and an inability to do so would adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

Only a small portion of our users regularly purchase Robux compared to all users who use our Platform in any period. Our ability to continue to attract and retain paying users will depend in part on our ability to consistently provide our paying users with a quality experience and features. If our users do not perceive our offerings, or the offerings of our developers and creators, to be of value, or if we introduce new or adjust existing features or pricing in a manner that is not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract and retain payers or be able to convince users to become paying users of such additional service offerings, and we may not be able to increase the amount of revenue from our user base. If users fail to purchase Robux at rates similar to or greater than they have historically and if we fail to attract new paying users, or if our paying users fail to continue interacting with our Platform and purchasing Robux as they increase in age, our revenue will suffer. Users may reduce their spend on our Platform for many reasons, including a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, the need to reduce household expenses, competitive services that provide a better value or experience or as a result of changes in pricing. If our efforts to attract and retain paying users are not successful, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely impacted.

If we are not successful in our efforts to develop virtual platform-wide events or live experiences on our Platform, our business could suffer.

We have undergone efforts to develop the live and limited time events and experiences available on our Platform, such as virtual platform-wide events, concerts, classrooms, and other meeting types, and to offer commercial partners with branding opportunities in conjunction with key events, such as a product launch. There is no guarantee that these efforts will be successful or that users will engage with these experiences. New features or enhancements and changes to the existing features of our Platform, such as virtual reality applications, could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including: failure to predict market demand accurately in terms of functionality and to supply features that meet this demand in a timely fashion; defects, errors, or failures; negative publicity about performance, safety, privacy, or effectiveness; delays in releasing new features or enhancements on our Platform; and introduction or anticipated introduction of competing products by competitors. The failure to obtain market acceptance for these live experiences would negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and brand.

Our continued success significantly depends on our ability to effectively navigate the integration of rapidly evolving technologies such as generative AI into our business.

The market for an immersive platform for connection and communication is a new and evolving market characterized by rapid, complex, and disruptive changes in technology and user, developer, and creator demands that could make it difficult for us to effectively compete. The expectations and needs of our users, developers, and creators are constantly evolving. Our future success depends on a variety of factors, including our continued ability to innovate, introduce new products and services efficiently, enhance and integrate our products and services in a timely and cost-effective manner, extend our core technology into new applications, and anticipate technological developments. If we are unable to react quickly to new technology trends—for example the continued growth of generative AI solutions which affect the ways developers create experiences or may affect the way users consume virtual content—it may harm our business and results of operation. Furthermore, our adoption of generative AI solutions and changes to our generative AI policies may not be favored by our community of developers and users, and may result in diminished engagement on our Platform. The expertise in AI, as well as other emerging technologies, can be difficult and costly to obtain given the increasing focus on AI development and competition for talent. Further, social and ethical issues relating to the use of new and evolving technologies such as AI in our offerings, may result in reputational harm and liability, and may cause us to incur additional research and development costs to resolve such issues. If we enable or offer solutions that draw controversy due to their perceived or actual impact on society, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability. Failure to address AI ethics issues by us or others in our industry could undermine public confidence in our use of AI.

We have incorporated, and are continuing to develop and deploy, AI in our products and the operations of our business. Our use of generative AI in aspects of our Platform may present risks and challenges that could increase as AI solutions become more prevalent. The Roblox Cloud may be more relied upon in the future to facilitate increasingly complex decision-making as it integrates hardware and accelerated machine learning AI, including generative AI, for a broad range of compute tasks, including improved personalization, synthetic content generation, and enhanced automation of the player experience. However, AI algorithms may be flawed and datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information. AI systems may make decisions unpredictably or autonomously, such as generating incorrect, offensive, and/or infringing content. This can raise new or exacerbate existing ethical, technological, legal, and other challenges, and may negatively affect the performance or the perception of our Platform and the user, developer, and creator experience. Certain users may also attempt to manipulate AI systems to create violative content on our Platform. While we have and will continue to implement safeguards, these deficiencies and potential failures of AI systems due to their nature as increasingly complex technology could subject us to competitive harm, regulatory action, legal liability, and reputational harm, especially as the regulatory landscape around AI continues to rapidly develop.

There are also many new and evolving laws and regulations focused on the use of AI. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”) entered into force on August 1, 2024. Certain of its obligations entered into effect on February 2, 2025, and the majority of its applicable provisions will be effective by August 2, 2026. The AI Act proposes a framework of prohibitions as well as disclosure, transparency, and other regulatory obligations based on various levels of risk for businesses introducing AI systems in the EU. Provisions of the AI Act could require us to alter or restrict our use of AI both in features or products available to our users and in our systems that interact with our users, depending on respective levels of risk-categorization, types of systems, and manner of use, as set forth in the AI Act. The AI Act also may require us to comply with monitoring and reporting requirements. As a result, we may need to devote substantial time and resources to evaluate our obligations under the AI Act and to develop and execute a plan designed to promote compliance. Noncompliance with the AI Act could result in fines of up to €35 million or 7% of annual global turnover for the previous year, whichever is higher. There have been numerous other laws and bills proposed at the U.S. federal and state level, as well as internationally, aimed at regulating the deployment or provision of AI systems and services. These include, among others, the Texas Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act which will become effective January 1, 2026, and focuses on prohibiting harmful uses of AI, and the Colorado AI Act, which will become effective June 30, 2026, and, similar to the AI Act, provides for a regulatory risk-based framework.

Our user metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may significantly harm and negatively affect our reputation and our business.

We regularly review metrics, including our DAUs, hours engaged, unique payers, user demographics, and ABPDAU to evaluate growth trends, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions. These metrics are calculated using internal data gathered on an analytics platform that we developed and operate and have not been validated by an independent third party. Our metrics are based on estimates and may also differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics of our competitors due to differences in methodology or underlying assumptions. If our metrics, which are based on estimates, are inaccurate, then investors will have less confidence in our company and our prospects, which could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline, and our reputation and brand could be harmed.

Table of Contents

These metrics are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates and underlying assumptions for the applicable period of measurement, but there are inherent challenges in measuring how our Platform is used. As a result, the metrics may misstate the number of DAUs, monthly unique payers, hours engaged, ABPDAU, and average bookings per monthly unique payer. The methodologies used to measure these metrics require significant judgment and are also susceptible to algorithm or other technical errors. In addition, we are continually seeking to improve our metrics, which are based on estimates, and such metrics may change due to improvements or changes in our methodology or underlying assumptions. We regularly review our processes and assumptions for calculating these metrics, and from time to time we discover inaccuracies in our metrics or make adjustments to improve their accuracy, which can result in our use of updated metrics in a current period and corresponding adjustments to our historical metrics. Our ability to recalculate our historical metrics to reflect any change in methodology of a metric in a current period may be impacted by data limitations, limitations in functionality of and user behaviors on different platforms, or other factors that require us to apply different methodologies for such adjustments over current and historic periods.

Additionally, there are users who have multiple accounts, fake user accounts, or fraudulent accounts created by bots. These actions may be done to inflate user activity in order to make a developer’s or creator’s experience or other content appear more popular than it really is or may be done to enable users to level up or otherwise progress in an experience more rapidly. Detecting and taking action with respect to such issues requires considerable judgment and is technically challenging. We strive to detect and minimize fraud, the use of bots, and unauthorized use of our Platform, and while these practices are prohibited in our terms of service and we implement measures to detect and suppress that behavior, when we are unsuccessful, our operating results may be negatively affected. Users may also disagree with our rationale for terminating, suspending, or taking other actions on accounts, which has and could continue to lead to reputational harm and further negatively impact our operating results.

In addition, some of our demographic data may also be incomplete or inaccurate. For example, historically our reported age demographics have been based on age information self-reported by our users. However, we have implemented and continue to develop, implement, and test systems to obtain additional user demographic data, including age verification and/or assurance technology, parental consents, and user identification verification. Starting in the third quarter of 2025, our reported age demographics are based on a hierarchy of data sources, which includes some of the additional data sources noted above, and in which self-reported data will be used only if we do not obtain additional data regarding the age of the user, such as, for example, through age verification. The data sources and the hierarchy we utilize may change from time to time. Additionally, in the near future, we expect to expand age verification and/or assurance technology, parental consents or identification verification for users who access voice or text-based chat on the Platform. Our safety changes have impacted and in the future may continue to impact user engagement, retention, revenue, and bookings, particularly from younger users. As a result of these changes, prior period demographics may not be comparable to future ones. Our age demographic data could differ from users’ actual ages due to the functionality of our age verification or age assurance systems and technology or if users provide us with incorrect or incomplete information regarding their age or other attributes. Users seeking to evade our age verification and assurance systems and tools may be more likely to create alternate or multiple accounts which would inflate our user activity.

Errors or inaccuracies in our metrics or data could also result in incorrect business decisions and inefficiencies. For instance, if a significant understatement or overstatement of active users or hours engaged were to occur, we may expend resources to implement unnecessary business measures or fail to take required actions to attract a sufficient number of users to satisfy our growth strategies. If our investors or developers do not perceive our user, geographic, or other demographic metrics to be accurate representations of our user base, or if we discover material inaccuracies in our user, geographic, or other demographic metrics, our reputation may be seriously harmed. Our estimates also may change as our methodologies and Platform evolve, including through the application of new data sets, the introduction of new metrics or technologies, or as our Platform changes with new features and enhancements. Such changes could lead to investor confusion or the perception that our estimates, methodologies and underlying assumptions are unreliable, which could also cause our developers, creators, and brand and other partners to be less willing to allocate their budgets or resources to our Platform, which could seriously harm our business.

We rely on suppliers for data center capacity and certain components of the equipment we use to operate our Platform and any disruption in the availability of data center capacity or components could delay our ability to expand or increase the capacity of our Platform or replace defective equipment.

We rely on suppliers for data center capacity and several components of the equipment we use to operate our Platform. Our reliance on these suppliers exposes us to risks, including reduced control over costs and constraints based on the current availability, terms, and pricing of these components and data center capacity. While the network equipment and servers we purchase generally are commodity equipment and we believe an alternative supply source for network equipment and servers on substantially similar terms could be identified quickly, our business could be adversely affected until those efforts are completed. In addition, the technology equipment industry has experienced component shortages and delivery delays, and we have and may in the future experience shortages or delays, including as a result of increased demand in the industry, such as due to rapid growth in AI demand, natural disasters, trade control and restrictions, or our suppliers lacking sufficient rights to supply the components in all jurisdictions in which we have data centers and edge data centers that support our Platform. For example, supply chain constraints for servers and other networking equipment required for our operations has resulted and could in the future result in disruptions and delays for these components and the delivery and installation of such components at our data centers and edge data centers. If our supply of certain components is disrupted or delayed, there can be no assurance that additional supplies or components can serve as adequate replacements for the existing components or that supplies will be available on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Any disruption or delay in the supply of hardware components or data center availability may delay the opening of new data centers, edge data centers, co-location facilities or the creation of fully redundant operations, limit capacity expansion, or replacement of defective or obsolete equipment at existing data centers and edge data centers or cause other constraints on our operations that could damage our ability to serve our developers, creators, and users.

Some developers, creators, and users on our Platform may make unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal use of Robux and other digital goods or experiences on our Platform, including by use of unauthorized third-party websites or “cheating” programs.

Robux and digital goods on our Platform have no monetary value, except to the extent earned Robux may be exchanged for real currency in accordance with our Developer Exchange Terms of Use, but users have made and may in the future make unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal sales and/or purchases of Robux, other digital goods and Roblox accounts on or off of our Platform, including by use of unauthorized third-party websites in exchange for fiat currency or to facilitate online wagers. For example, some users have made fraudulent use of credit cards owned by others to purchase Robux and offer the purchased Robux for sale at a discount on third-party websites. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, total chargebacks and refunds to us, some of which may have been related to fraud were approximately 2.7% of bookings.

While we regularly monitor and screen usage of our Platform with the aim of identifying and preventing these activities, and regularly monitor third-party websites for fraudulent Robux or digital goods offers as well as regularly send cease-and-desist letters to operators of these third-party websites, we are unable to control or stop all unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal transactions in Robux or other digital goods that occurs on or off of our Platform. Although we are not responsible for such unauthorized, fraudulent, and/or illegal activities conducted by these third parties, our user experience may be adversely affected, and users and/or developers may choose to leave our Platform if these activities are pervasive. These activities have and may in the future result in negative publicity, disputes, regulatory scrutiny, and legal claims, and measures we take in response may be expensive, time consuming, and disruptive to our operations.

In addition, unauthorized, fraudulent, and/or illegal purchases and/or sales of Robux, Roblox accounts, or other digital goods on or off of our Platform, including through third-party websites, bots, fake accounts, or “cheating” or malicious programs that enable users to exploit vulnerabilities in the experiences on our Platform or our partners’ websites and platforms, and could reduce our revenue and bookings by, among other things, decreasing revenue from authorized and legitimate transactions, increasing chargebacks from unauthorized credit card transactions, or causing us to lose revenue and bookings from dissatisfied users who stop engaging with the experiences on our Platform. Additionally, such prohibited activity could increase costs that we incur to develop technological measures to curtail unauthorized transactions and other malicious programs, or could reduce other operating metrics.

Under our community rules for our Platform, which developers, creators, and users are obligated to comply with, we reserve the right to temporarily or permanently ban individuals for breaching our Terms of Use or Community Standards, including by engaging in any illegal activity on our Platform. We have banned individuals as a result of unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal use of our Platform, Robux, or other digital goods on our Platform, which has and may continue to lead to reputational harm in cases where users disagree with our enforcement decisions. We have also employed technological measures to help detect unauthorized Robux transactions and continue to develop additional methods and processes through which we can identify unauthorized transactions and block such transactions. However, there can be no assurance that our efforts to prevent or minimize these unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal transactions will be successful.

We have made and are continuing to make investments in privacy, data protection, user safety, cybersecurity, and content review efforts to combat misuse of our services and user data by third parties, including investigations of individuals we have determined to have attempted to access and, in some cases, have accessed, user data without authorization. Our internal teams also continually monitor and work to address any identified unauthorized attempts to access data stored on servers that we own or control or data available to our third-party customer service providers. As a result of these efforts, we have discovered and disclosed, and anticipate that we will continue to discover and disclose, additional incidents of misuse of or unauthorized access of user data or other undesirable activity by third parties. We have taken steps to protect the data that we have access to, but despite these efforts, our security measures, or those of our third-party service providers, could be insufficient or breached as a result of third-party action, malfeasance, employee errors, service provider errors, technological limitations, defects or vulnerabilities in our Platform or otherwise. Additionally, many of our employees and third-party service providers with access to user data currently are and may in the future be working remotely, which may increase our employees’ or our third-party service providers’ risk of security breaches or incidents. Moreover, the risk of state-supported and geopolitical-related cyber-attacks may increase with geopolitical events. We have sometimes failed to discover and in the future may not discover all such incidents or activity or be able to respond to or otherwise address them, promptly, in sufficient respects or at all. Such incidents and activities have in the past, and may in the future, involve the use of user data or our systems in a manner inconsistent with our terms, contracts or policies, the existence of false or undesirable user accounts, theft of in-game currency or virtual items in valid user accounts, and activities that threaten people’s safety on- or offline. We may also be unsuccessful in our efforts to enforce our policies or otherwise remediate any such incidents. Any of the foregoing developments, whether actual or perceived, may negatively affect user trust and engagement, harm our reputation and brands, require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business, and adversely affect our business and financial results. Any such developments have and may continue to subject us to future litigation and regulatory inquiries, investigations, and proceedings, including from data protection authorities in countries where we offer services and/or have users, which could subject us to monetary penalties and damages, divert management’s time and attention, and lead to enhanced regulatory oversight.

We focus our business on our developers, creators, and users, and acting in their interests in the long term may conflict with the short-term expectations of analysts and investors.

A significant part of our business strategy and culture is to focus on long-term growth and developer, creator, and user experience over short-term financial results. We expect our expenses to continue to increase in the future as we broaden our developer, creator, and user community, as developers, creators, and users increase the amount and types of experiences and virtual items they make available on our Platform and the content they consume, as we continue to seek ways to increase payments to our developers and as we develop and further enhance our Platform, expand our technical infrastructure and data centers, and hire additional employees to support our expanding operations. As a result, in the near- and medium-term, we may continue to operate at a loss, or our near- and medium-term profitability may be lower than it would be if our strategy were to maximize near- and medium-term profitability. We expect to continue making significant expenditures to grow our Platform and develop new features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements to our Platform for the benefit of our developers, creators, and users. We will also be required to invest in our internal IT systems, technological operations infrastructure, financial infrastructure, and operating, compliance and administrative systems and controls. Such expenditures may not result in improved business results or profitability over the long term. If we are ultimately unable to achieve or improve profitability at the level or during the time frame anticipated by securities or industry analysts, investors and our stockholders, the trading price of our Class A common stock may decline.

We may require additional capital to meet our financial obligations and support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

We intend to continue to make significant investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, improve our Platform and operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses, personnel, and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in additional equity or debt financings. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of our Class A common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve offering security interests and undertaking restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. General market conditions including trading volatility affecting technology companies may reduce our ability to access capital on favorable terms or at all. Also, to the extent outstanding additional shares subject to options and warrants to purchase our capital stock are authorized and exercised, there will be further dilution. The amount of dilution could be substantial depending on the size of the issuance or exercise. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business, financial condition or results of operations may be harmed.

The popularity of our Lua-based scripting language is a key driver of content creation and engagement with our Platform, and if other programming languages or platforms become more popular with our developers, it may affect engagement with and content creation for our Platform.

Roblox experiences are programmed using our Lua-based scripting language on the Roblox Platform. In order to enhance the attractiveness of our Platform to potential developers, we have made our scripting language available without charge. Our scripting language permits developers on our Platform to develop customized add-on features for their own or others’ use, and we have provided education to our developers on how to write add-on programs using our scripting language. As part of this strategy, we have encouraged the development of an active community of programmers similar to those which have emerged for other software platforms. The widespread use and popularity of our Lua-based scripting language is critical to creating engaging content on and demand for our Platform. If developers do not find our scripting language or our Platform simple and attractive for developing content or determine that our scripting language or other features of our Platform are undesirable or inferior to other scripting languages or platforms, or the scripting language becomes unavailable for use by the developers for any reason, they may shift their resources to developing content on other platforms, and our business may be harmed.

We rely on Amazon Web Services for a portion of our cloud infrastructure in certain areas, and as a result any disruption of AWS would negatively affect our operations and significantly harm our business.

We rely on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) as a third-party provider for a portion of our backend services, including for some of our high-speed databases, scalable object storage, and message queuing services, as well as virtual cloud infrastructure. For location-based support areas, we outsource certain aspects of the infrastructure relating to our cloud-native Platform. As a result, our operations depend, in part, on AWS’ ability to protect their services against damage or interruption from natural or manmade disasters. Our developers, creators, and users need to be able to access our Platform at any time, without interruption or degradation of performance. Although we have disaster recovery plans that utilize multiple AWS availability zones to support our cloud infrastructure, any incident affecting their infrastructure that may be caused by natural or manmade disasters and other similar events beyond our control, could adversely affect our cloud-native Platform. Any disruption of or interference with our use of AWS could impair our ability to deliver our Platform reliably to our developers, creators, and users.

Additionally, if AWS were to experience a hacking attack or other security incident, it could result in unauthorized access to, damage to, disablement or encryption of, use or misuse of, disclosure of, modification of, destruction of, or loss of our data or our developers’, creators’, and users’ data or disrupt our ability to provide our Platform or service. A prolonged AWS service disruption affecting our cloud-native Platform for any of the foregoing reasons would adversely impact our ability to serve our users, developers, and creators and could damage our reputation with current and potential users, developers, and creators, expose us to liability, result in substantial costs for remediation, cause us to lose users, developers, and creators, or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We may also incur significant costs for using alternative hosting cloud infrastructure services or taking other actions in preparation for, or in reaction to, events that damage or interfere with the AWS services we use.

We have entered into an enterprise agreement with AWS and a supplemental private pricing addendum that will remain in effect until June 2026. In the event that our AWS service agreements are terminated, or there is a lapse of service, elimination of AWS services or features that we utilize, we could experience interruptions in access to our Platform as well as significant delays and additional expense in arranging for or creating new facilities or re-architecting our Platform for deployment on a different cloud infrastructure service provider, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We must continue to attract and retain users, developers, and creators, and highly qualified personnel in very competitive markets to continue to execute on our business strategy and growth plans, and the loss of key personnel or failure to attract and retain users, developers, and creators could significantly harm our business.

We compete for users, developers, and creators. We compete to attract and retain our users’ attention and their hours engaged with other global technology leaders such as Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Google, Microsoft, and Tencent, global entertainment companies such as Comcast, Disney, Paramount Global, and Warner Bros Discovery, global gaming companies such as Activision Blizzard (now owned by Microsoft), Electronic Arts, Take-Two, Epic Games, Krafton, NetEase, and Valve, online content platforms including Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube, as well as social platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp, Pinterest, X, Reddit, Discord and Snap.

Table of Contents

We also rely on developers and creators to create the content that leads to and maintains user engagement (including maintaining the quality of experiences). We compete to attract and retain developers and engineering talent with gaming and metaverse platforms such as Epic Games, Unity, Meta Platforms, and Valve Corporation, which also give developers the ability to create or distribute interactive content. We do not have any agreements with our developers that require them to continue to use our Platform for any time period. Some of our developers have developed attractive businesses in developing content, including games, on our Platform. While we have millions of developers and creators on our Platform, 50% of in-experience hours engaged were spent in the top 50 experiences in the month ended December 31, 2024. In the future, if we are unable to continue to provide value to these developers and they have alternative methods to publish and commercialize their offerings, they may not continue to provide content to our Platform. Should we fail to provide compelling advantages to continued use of our ecosystem to developers, they may elect to develop content on competing interactive entertainment platforms. Should we fail to control botting and other forms of automated play on our Platform, developers, creators and users may find our Platform less attractive and may elect to engage on competing interactive entertainment platforms. If a significant number of our developers no longer provide content, we fail to increase the number of developers using our Platform, or developers and creators whose experiences account for a substantial portion of our hours engaged choose to leave our Platform, we may experience an overall reduction in the quantity and quality of our experiences, which could adversely affect users’ interest in our Platform and lead to a loss of revenue opportunities and harm our results of operations.

We expect competition to continue to increase in the future. Many of our existing competitors have, and some of our potential competitors could have, substantial competitive advantages, such as larger sales and marketing budgets and resources; broader and more established relationships with users, developers, and creators; greater resources to make acquisitions and enter into strategic partnerships; lower labor and research and development costs; larger and more mature intellectual property portfolios; and substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources.

Additionally, we depend on the continued services and performance of our Founder, President, CEO and Chair of our Board of Directors, David Baszucki, members of our senior management team, and other key personnel. Mr. Baszucki has been responsible for our strategic vision, and should he stop working for us for any reason, it is unlikely that we would be able to immediately find a suitable replacement. We do not maintain key man life insurance for Mr. Baszucki, and do not believe any amount of key man insurance would allow us to recover from the harm to our business if Mr. Baszucki were to leave us for any reason. Similarly, members of our senior management team and other key personnel are highly sought after and others may attempt to encourage these individuals to leave us. The loss of one or more of the members of the senior management team or other key personnel for any reason, or the inability to attract new or replacement members of our senior management team, other key personnel, or highly qualified employees could disrupt our operations, create uncertainty among investors, adversely impact employee retention and morale, and significantly harm our business.

Our business and results of operations are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

As we continue to expand our international operations, we become more exposed to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We generally collect revenue from our international markets in the local currency. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 83% of our DAUs and 40% of our revenue was derived from outside the U.S. and Canada region. While we periodically adjust the price of Robux to account for the relative value of this local currency to the U.S. dollar, these adjustments are not immediate nor do they typically exactly track the underlying currency fluctuations. As a result, rapid appreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies has harmed and may in the future harm our reported results and cause the revenue derived from our foreign users and overall revenue to decrease. In addition, even if we do adjust the cost of our Robux in foreign markets to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, such fluctuations could change the costs of purchasing Robux to our users outside of the U.S., which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, or improve our financial performance.

We also incur expenses for employee compensation and other operating expenses at our non-U.S. locations in the local currency. Additionally, global events as well as geopolitical developments, and inflation have caused, and may in the future cause, global economic uncertainty, and uncertainty about the interest rate environment, which could amplify the volatility of currency fluctuations. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies could result in the dollar equivalent of our expenses being higher which may not be offset by additional revenue earned in the local currency. This could impact our reported results of operations. To date, we have not engaged in any hedging strategies and any such strategies, such as forward contracts, options, and foreign exchange swaps related to transaction exposures that we may implement in the future to mitigate this risk may not eliminate our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments.

We plan to continue to make acquisitions and investments in other companies, which could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute our stockholders, and significantly harm our business.

As part of our business strategy, we have made and intend to make acquisitions and investments to add or access specialized employees and complementary companies, features, and technologies. Our ability to acquire and successfully integrate larger or more complex companies, features, and technologies is unproven. In the future, we may not be able to find other suitable acquisition or investment candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions, investments or similar strategic transactions on favorable terms, if at all. The pursuit of potential acquisitions or investments may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur significant expenses related to identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable targets, whether or not they are consummated. Our previous and future acquisitions and investments may not achieve our goals, and any future acquisitions or investments we complete could be viewed negatively by users, developers, creators, partners, or investors. In addition, if we fail to successfully close transactions or integrate new teams into our corporate culture, or fail to integrate the features and technologies associated with acquisitions or investments, our business could be significantly harmed. Any integration process may require significant time and resources, and we may not be able to manage the process successfully. We may not successfully evaluate or use the acquired products, technology, and personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition, including accounting charges which could be recognized as a current period expense. We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits of synergies from the target business, may encounter challenges with incorporating the acquired features and technologies into our Platform while maintaining quality and security standards consistent with our brand, or may fail to identify security vulnerabilities in acquired technology prior to integration with our technology and Platform. We may also incur unanticipated liabilities that we assume as a result of acquiring companies, including claims related to the acquired company, its offerings or technologies or potential violations of applicable law or industry rules and regulations arising from prior or ongoing acts or omissions by the acquired business that were not discovered during diligence. We will pay cash, incur debt, or issue equity securities to pay for any acquisitions or investments, any of which could significantly harm our financial results. In addition, it generally takes several months after the closing of an acquisition to finalize the purchase price allocation. Therefore, it is possible that our valuation of an acquisition may change and result in unanticipated write-offs or charges, impairment of our goodwill, or a material change to the fair value of the assets and liabilities associated with a particular acquisition
