“Looking into the second half of the year, we anticipate normal seasonal spend in Sales & Marketing for Devices, which will cause Adjusted EBITDA to slightly moderate relative to the first half of the year,” the company said in a statement.

Globally, the company’s users streamed 30.8 billion hours in the first quarter, and streaming hours grew 23% year over year as viewers continued to shift to TV streaming.

The Roku Channel became the #3 app on the company’s platform in the first quarter by both reach and engagement, with streaming hours up 66% year over year.

The company sees second-quarter total net revenue of $935 million, above the consensus estimate. 

Roku ( ROKU ) exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $2.06 billion. 

According to Benzinga Pro, ROKU ( ROKU ) stock has gained over 2% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via ARK Innovation ETF ( ARKK ) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF ( ARKW ) .
