Q3FY21 Results:

• Expansion in Topline: The company reported YoY growth of 50.54% in total net revenue to USD 679.95 million in Q3FY21 (ended September 30, 2021) compared to USD 451.66 million in Q3FY20.

Key Risks:

• Seasonality Risk: Due to more lavish consumer spending and more advertising during the holiday seasons, ROKU's sales and gross profit are frequently most impressive in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, accounting for a significant share of the entire net income for that fiscal year. Therefore, any failure in expected fourth-quarter sales, whether due to a reduction in the effectiveness of its promotional operations, supply chain disruptions, or other factors, would substantially influence its full-year performance.

Outlook:

• Q4FY21 Estimates: ROKU expects its Q4FY21 total revenues to be around USD 885-900 million, along with a total gross profit to be in the range of USD 380-390 million.

• Dependence on Third-Party Payers: ZBH offers its products and services to hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare providers who are reimbursed for the healthcare services they give to their patients by third-party payors such as domestic and international government programs, private insurance plans, and managed care programs. As a result, if third-party payors in government healthcare systems refuse to compensate their customers for the items or reduce payment levels, demand for ZBH's products may fall, which could harm its financials.
