Forward-looking statements in this presentation may include, but are not limited to planned growth and increased profitability in 2020 and beyond. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual events or results may differ materially. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are our ability to effectively manage the Q3 2019 late stage production delay, the risk that our reduction in operating expenses may impact our ability to meet our business objectives and achieve our revenue targets, and may not result in the expected improvement in our profitability; our ability to continue to focus on expense management; the fact that our future growth depends in part on further penetrating our addressable market and growing internationally, and we may not be successful in doing so; any inability to successfully manage frequent product introductions (including roadmap for new hardware, software and subscription products) and transitions, including managing our sales channel and inventory, and accurately forecasting future sales; our reliance on third party suppliers, some of which are sole source suppliers, to provide components for our products and our reliance on third party logistics partners to deliver without interruption; our dependence on sales of our cameras, mounts and accessories, and subscription services for substantially all of our revenue (and the effects of changes in the sales mix or decrease in demand for these products); the fact that an economic downturn or economic uncertainty in our key U.S. and international markets, as well as fluctuations in currency exchange rates, may adversely affect consumer discretionary spending; any changes to trade agreements, trade policies, tariffs, and import/export regulations; the effects of transferring most U.S.-bound production out of China; the effects of the highly competitive market in which we operate, including new market entrants; the fact that we may not be able to achieve revenue growth or profitability in the future; risks related to inventory, purchase commitments and long-lived assets; difficulty in accurately predicting our future customer demand; the importance of maintaining the value and reputation of our brand; the risk that the e-commerce technology systems that give consumers the ability to shop online do not function effectively; the risk that we will encounter problems with our distribution system; the threat of a security breach or other disruption including cyberattacks; the concern that our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not adequately protect our products and services; and other factors detailed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, each of which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and as updated in future filings with the SEC including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

GoPro, Inc.
Reconciliation of Preliminary GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), other income (expense), tax expense, net income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA. We also provide forecasts of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP other income (expense), non-GAAP tax expense, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to help us understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short-term and long-term operational plans. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, the measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by facilitating:

    --  the comparability of our on-going operating results over the periods
        presented;
    --  the ability to identify trends in our underlying business; and
    --  the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models
        and operating results of other public companies that supplement their
        GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

    --  adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that reduce cash available
        to us;
    --  adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization and, although
        these are non-cash charges, the property and equipment being depreciated
        and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted
        EBITDA does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for
        such replacements;
    --  adjusted EBITDA excludes the amortization of POP display assets because
        it is a non-cash charge, and is treated similarly to depreciation of
        property and equipment and amortization of acquired intangible assets;
    --  adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude the impairment of
        intangible assets because it is a non-cash charge that is inconsistent
        in amount and frequency;
    --  adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude restructuring and
        other related costs which primarily include severance-related costs,
        stock-based compensation expenses, facilities consolidation charges
        recorded in connection with restructuring actions announced in the
        fourth quarter of 2016, first quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2018,
        and the related ongoing operating lease cost of those facilities
        recorded under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases. These
        expenses do not reflect expected future operating expenses and do not
        contribute to a meaningful evaluation of current operating performance
        or comparisons to the operating performance in other periods;
    --  adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude stock-based
        compensation expense related to equity awards granted primarily to our
        workforce. We exclude stock-based compensation expense because we
        believe that the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide
        meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance.
        In particular, we note that companies calculate stock-based compensation
        expense for the variety of award types that they employ using different
        valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions. These non-cash
        charges are not factored into our internal evaluation of net income
        (loss) as we believe their inclusion would hinder our ability to assess
        core operational performance;
    --  non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes acquisition-related costs including
        the amortization of acquired intangible assets (primarily consisting of
        acquired technology), the impairment of acquired intangible assets (if
        applicable), as well as third-party transaction costs incurred for legal
        and other professional services. These costs are not factored into our
        evaluation of potential acquisitions, or of our performance after
        completion of the acquisitions, because these costs are not related to
        our core operating performance or reflective of ongoing operating
        results in the period, and the frequency and amount of such costs are
        inconsistent and vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of
        our acquisition transactions and the maturities of the businesses being
        acquired. Although we exclude the amortization of acquired intangible
        assets from our non-GAAP net income (loss), management believes that it
        is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets
        were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue
        generation;
    --  non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes non-cash interest expense. In
        connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes in April
        2017, we are required to recognize non-cash interest expense in
        accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for convertible
        debt that may be settled in cash;
    --  non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes a gain on the sale and license of
        intellectual property. This gain is not related to our core operating
        performance or reflective of ongoing operating results in the period,
        and the frequency and amount of such gains are inconsistent;
    --  non-GAAP net income (loss) includes income tax adjustments. We utilize a
        cash-based non-GAAP tax expense approach (based upon expected annual
        cash payments for income taxes) for evaluating operating performance as
        well as for planning and forecasting purposes. This non-GAAP tax
        approach eliminates the effects of period specific items, which can vary
        in size and frequency and does not necessarily reflect our long-term
        operations. Historically, we computed a non-GAAP tax rate based on
        non-GAAP pre-tax income on a quarterly basis, which considered the
        income tax effects of the adjustments above; and
    --  other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures
        differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative
        measures.
