Roblox reported revenue of $1.08 billion for the quarter from Apr 1 to Jun 30, 2025, up 21.0% on the $893.54 million of the same quarter a year earlier, in a Form 10-Q (the quarterly report a US-listed company files with the SEC) filed on Jul 31, 2025. The year-earlier quarter included $58.9 million of extra revenue from a change in the estimated life of a paying user, cut to 27 months from 28 as of Apr 1, 2024. The company had an operating loss (the loss from running the business before interest and tax) of $322 million, against $237.95 million, with total costs and expenses of $1.40 billion against $1.13 billion. The net loss attributable to its common stockholders was $278 million, or $0.41 a share, against $205.88 million, or $0.32 a share.1^,2^,3^,4^,5^,6^,7^,8^,9^,10^,11^,12^,13^,14

Bookings, a non-GAAP measure of the sales activity in a period, were $1,437.6 million, up 51%. Average daily active users were 111.8 million, up 41%, and hours engaged, the time users spent on the platform, were 27.4 billion, up 58%. The filing credited the rise in bookings mainly to more daily unique paying users, about 1,480,000 against about 983,000 a year earlier.15^,16^,17^,18^,19^,20

Developer exchange fees, the amount earned by developers and creators registered in its Developer Exchange Program, were $316.37 million, up 52%, which the filing said slightly outpaced bookings because of differential Robux pricing, launched in November 2024. General and administrative expenses were $152.17 million, up 44%, and the filing said $10.3 million of the increase was professional services expense, primarily litigation costs. Separately, the notes to the financial statements listed legal matters, among them a putative class action, Colvin v. Roblox, filed on Aug 1, 2023, over allegations that minors used third-party virtual casinos to gamble Robux; Roblox said it intended to defend itself against all claims in the matters listed and could not reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, if any, from them.21^,22^,23^,24^,25^,26^,27

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure Roblox defines itself, was $18.36 million, against $66.53 million a year earlier; it leaves out interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation.

The earnings 8-K also reported that Chief Product Officer Manuel Bronstein notified the company on Jul 28 of his intent to resign effective Sep 30, 2025. Its annual report for 2025 later put revenue for the year at $4.89 billion.28^,29^,30^,31^,32^,33^,34^,35

We hold the text of the report's management discussion and analysis and of its notes to the financial statements, and not its other exhibits. Our records keep one value for each period of an SEC filer, so they cannot tell whether the year-earlier figures were restated.36^,37
