Roblox Corporation

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Rob Loss Q3 2021 earnings Q&A. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. If you require any further assistance, please press star zero. I'll now hand the conference over to you, speaker, today, Anna Yen, Head of Investor Relations. Thank you. Please go ahead, ma'am.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our Q&A session to discuss Roblox's third quarter 2021 results. With me today is Roblox CEO David Buzuki and CFO Mike Guthrie. Before we start, I want to remind everyone that yesterday after market closed, we published a shareholder letter and earnings results on our Metro Relations website at ir.roblox.com. Since the letter provides a lot of details, we will make some brief opening remarks and reserve the rest of the time for your questions. For our webcast participants, please note the question icon at the bottom of your screen where you can type in your questions. We'll do our best to take as many questions as possible. On today's call, we may be making forward-looking statements, including but not limited to statements regarding our future financial performance, business strategies, plans, and new platform features, development of new technologies and developer tools, investment in the developer community, and our talents, payments to developers, our ability to bring new music, recording artists, and brands to the platform, the success of events on platform, investments and international growth, the development of the metaverse, Investor Day, and October financial performance and operating metrics. Any statement that refers to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events, including financial projections, future market conditions, or the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the economy as a whole is a forward-looking statement based on assumptions today. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, and we make no obligation to update our disclosures. For more information about factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, please refer to the press release we issued yesterday, as well as risks described in our filings with the SEC, including our quarterly report on Form 10-2 filed for the fiscal quarter ended June 30th, 2021, and other filings and reports we may make with the SEC from time to time. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures These measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP metrics for our reported results can be found in our press release issued yesterday, as well as in our supplemental materials, copies of which can be found on our Investor Relations website. Finally, this call is being webcast and will be archived on our website shortly afterwards. With that, I'll turn the call over to David.

Thank you, Anna, and good morning to both our Roblox shareholders as well as the whole Roblox community around the world. We wish you all well. We hope you're all coming out of COVID and getting back to normal as much as possible. And we look forward to answering your questions today where we'll talk about our Q3 results as well as the month of October, which we've also shared. I do highlight that in a week from now, on November 16th, We have a live streaming Investor Day at, I believe, 8 a.m. Pacific time, where we'll be spending several hours diving into our product stack across the company. With that, we welcome your questions and look forward to speaking with you today. Thank you.
