Roku opened 2026 with an outstanding first quarter, growing platform revenue 28% ahead of outlook as advertising rose 27% and subscription revenue rose 30%, helped by the Olympics and Super Bowl. Adjusted EBITDA margins more than doubled year-over-year to nearly 12% and free cash flow of $148 million was the second-highest on record, prompting management to raise full-year platform revenue guidance by over $100 million to nearly 21% growth and lift adjusted EBITDA to $675 million. Roku passed 100 million streaming households, added Apple TV and Peacock to premium subscriptions, and posted a record advertising gross margin above 60%. The clear soft spot was devices, where revenue fell 16% at a negative 14% margin on lower streaming-player ASPs and higher memory costs, but the platform business drove a decisive profitability step-up.
