“In Q2, there was a significant slowdown in TV advertising spend due to the macro-economic environment, which pressured our platform revenue growth. Consumers began to moderate discretionary spend, and advertisers significantly curtailed spend in the ad scatter market,” Roku said Thursday in a letter to shareholders.
“We expect these challenges to continue in the near term as economic concerns pressure markets worldwide,” the company added.
Roku withdrew its full-year revenue growth guidance, citing uncertainties and volatility in the macro environment.
