Hello. Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the third quarter 2022 Roku earnings conference call. [Operator instructions] Please be advised that today's conference may be recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Conrad Grodd, vice president of investor relations.

Conrad Grodd -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, operator. Good afternoon, and welcome to Roku's third quarter 2022 earnings call. I'm joined today by Anthony Wood, Roku's founder and CEO; and Steve Louden, our CFO. Full details of our results and additional management commentary are available in our shareholder letter, which can be found on our investor relations website at roku.com/investor.
Our comments and responses to your questions on this call reflect management's views as of today only, and we disclaim any obligation to update this information. On this call, we'll be making forward-looking statements which are predictions, projections, or other statements about future events, financial outlook, our investments, our operating expenses, our business strategy, future market conditions, and macro environment headwinds, such as economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures. These statements are based on our current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties. Please refer to our shareholder letter and our periodic SEC filings for information on factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
We'll also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures on today's call. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in our shareholder letter. Finally, unless otherwise stated, all comparisons on this call will be against our results of the comparable period of 2021. Now I'd like to hand the call over to Anthony.
Anthony Wood -- Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Conrad, and thank you, all, for joining us today. I'd like to provide some high-level thoughts on the macro environment, Roku's business model, and our ongoing conviction in the streaming platform opportunity. In Q3, advertisers pulled back on spending, consumers were further pressured by inflation and overall economic uncertainty remained high. We expect these conditions will continue and are likely to worsen in Q4.
Although these factors are temporary and the ad market is expected to bounce back, we will continue to take steps to reduce our opex growth. In addition, we are sharpening our spending focus on the projects that will drive the most growth and enhance our leadership position. Our opportunity as a streaming TV platform is very large and remains intact despite the current ad pullback. We are not idly waiting for the ad market to improve.
