SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX), a global platform bringing millions of people together through shared experiences, today released certain key metrics for the month of September 2022.
September 2022 Metrics
Daily active users (DAUs) were 57.8 million, up 23% year-over-year.
Hours engaged were 4.0 billion, up 16% year-over-year.
Estimated bookings were between $212 million and $219 million, up 11% - 15% year-over-year1.
Estimated average bookings per daily active user (ABPDAU) were between $3.67 and $3.79, down 7% - 10% year-over-year1.
Estimated revenue was between $171 million and $180 million, which represents a year-over-year change of -2% - +3%2.
1 The strengthening of the US Dollar against the Euro, British Pound, and other foreign currencies during 2022 has had an adverse impact on bookings. We estimate that the impact of foreign currency fluctuations led to a reduction of approximately 6% in the year-over-year growth rate for September bookings. On a constant currency basis, we estimate bookings growth would have been 17% - 21% year-over-year and ABPDAU would have been down 2-5% year-over-year.
2 During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed its quarterly assessment of its paying user life estimate, which is used for revenue recognition of durable virtual items and calculated based on historical monthly retention data for each payer cohort to project future participation on the Roblox Platform. Based on this assessment, the Company updated its paying user life estimate to 28 months from 25 months in the prior two quarters. As a result of this change in estimate, July and August 2022 estimated revenue (as reported on August 9, 2022 and September 15, 2022, respectively) were adjusted down by approximately $43 million and $38 million, respectively. These adjustments are not reflected in the estimated revenue range for September. This change in estimate also had no impact on bookings.
