Roku10-K: Margin pressure

Devices segment posted a $(82)M gross loss in 2025 as part of a user acquisition strategy.

What happened

Roku intentionally accepts losses on its hardware devices to increase its user base (Streaming Households), betting that this will drive higher-margin Platform revenue over time. This creates significant pressure to maximize platform monetization to offset hardware losses.
