Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX), a global platform bringing millions of people together through shared experiences, today released certain key metrics for the month of November 2022.
November 2022 Metrics
- Daily active users (DAUs) were 56.7 million, up 15% year-over-year.
- Hours engaged were 3.9 billion, up 10% year-over-year.
- Estimated revenue was between $190 million and $193 million, up 1% - 3% year-over year.
- Estimated bookings were between $222 million and $225 million, up 5% - 7% year-over-year1.
- Estimated average bookings per daily active user (ABPDAU) were between $3.92 and $3.97, down 7% - 9% year-over-year1.
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 4-5% in the year-over-year growth rate for November bookings. On a constant currency basis, we estimate bookings growth would have been 10%-12% year-over-year and ABPDAU would have been down 3-5% year-over-year. Constant currency is calculated by converting our current period financial results into U.S. dollars using the comparative prior period’s monthly exchange rates for our non-USD currencies
