The financial earnings reports for the second quarter of 2024 are in, and Roblox Corp. has once again demonstrated strong performance. The company reported impressive increases in revenue and player metrics compared to the previous year.
Roblox Corp. recorded $893.5 million in revenue and $955.2 million in bookings, representing a 31 percent and 22 percent increase, respectively, from the previous year's figures. Net cash from operational activities also saw a substantial increase of 433 percent from the previous year's Q2.
On the player front, the number of daily active users (DAUs) surged by 21 percent to 79.5 million. Unique monthly payers increased by 22 percent to 16.5 million, and total engagement hours grew by 24 percent to 17.4 billion.
Roblox Corp. founder David Baszucki credited the company's growth to its diverse and high-quality content, stating that the platform continues to attract users of all ages worldwide.
Roblox remains committed to a safer and more successful future
Baszucki revealed that the company's future plans include investing in the core platform to facilitate the creation of better and safer experiences by the creator community and to reach a wider audience.
While hinting at a recent report on child safety concerns on Roblox, which the company disputed, Baszucki mentioned that efforts to address the issue were put on hold to focus on achieving a target of 1 billion players.
In his shareholder letter, Baszucki expressed confidence in the company's momentum heading into the third quarter, with revenue expected to range between $860-885 million. The company also anticipates a consolidated net loss of $275-$250 million, an improvement from the previous year's third quarter. The consolidated loss for Q2 2024 was $207.2 million, marking a 27.2 percent decrease from the same period in 2023.
