The Roku Channel and advertising reach

  • Roku has emphasized growing programmatic demand and measurement integrations, plus expanding Roku-billed subscriptions, as key monetization levers.

Market share and adoption

  • Roku announced it surpassed 90 million streaming households in early January 2025.
  • In a 2025 Connected Home survey, 59% of monthly streaming households reported using Roku (highest among streaming operating systems measured).
  • 2025 reporting on Roku’s results stated Roku TV OS represented nearly 40% of U.S. TV unit sales.

  • Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow (profitability and cash generation)
