SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and posted management commentary, including forward-looking guidance, in the investor relations section of its website at https://investor.gopro.com.
"In Q2, revenue of $186 million exceeded guidance and our subscriber base grew 4% to 2.53 million," said Brian McGee, GoPro's CFO and COO. "Cash was flat sequentially as we reduced inventory ahead of launching two exciting new products in September."
"Our rollout of new products starts next month with the launch of our new, significantly enhanced flagship camera, HERO13 Black, along with our new $199 entry-level HERO camera that features an entirely new design that we fully expect to wow both new and existing customers," said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro's founder and CEO.
Q2 2024 Financial Results
-- Revenue was $186 million, down 23% year-over-year.
-- Subscription and service revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $26
million, primarily due to improving retention rates that resulted in 4%
ARPU growth. GoPro subscriber count ended Q2 at 2.53 million, up 4%
year-over-year.
-- Revenue from the retail channel was $137 million, or 74% of total
revenue and down 17% year-over-year. GoPro.com revenue, including
subscription and service revenue, was $49 million, or 26% of total

net loss of $17 million or $0.11 loss per share, in the prior year
period.
-- Non-GAAP net loss was $36 million, or a $0.24 loss per share, compared
to a non-GAAP net loss of $8 million, or $0.05 loss per share, in the
prior year period.
-- GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin was 30.5% and 30.7%, respectively. This
compares to GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 31.4% and 31.6%,
respectively, in the prior year period.
-- Adjusted EBITDA was negative $33 million, compared to negative $10
million in the prior year period.
-- Cameras with Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) at or above

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GoPro reports gross profit, gross margin percentage, operating expenses, operating income (loss), other income (expense), tax expense (benefit), net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis. Additionally, GoPro reports non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP items exclude, where applicable, the effects of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, restructuring and other related costs, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, and the tax impact of these items. When planning, forecasting, and analyzing gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), other income (expense), tax expense (benefit), net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for future periods, GoPro does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis as that would require estimates for reconciling items which are inherently difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy. A reconciliation of preliminary GAAP to non-GAAP measures has been provided in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
Note on Forward-looking Statements
This press release may contain projections or other forward-looking statements within the meaning Section 27A of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "should," "will," "plan" and variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this press release may include but are not limited to statements regarding our expectations for profitability, revenue growth and subscription growth; expanded product roadmap, product pricing strategy, expanded retail presence, distribution and overall consumer demand for our products. 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 include the inability to achieve our revenue growth or profitability in the future, and if revenue growth or profitability is achieved, the inability to sustain it; the fact that an economic downturn or economic uncertainty in our key U.S. and international markets, inflation, and fluctuations in interest rates or currency exchange rates may adversely affect consumer discretionary spending and demand for our products; the fact that our goal to grow revenue and be profitable relies upon our ability to grow sales from our direct-to-consumer business and our retail partners and distributors; our ability to acquire and retain subscribers; our reliance on third-party suppliers, some of which are sole-source suppliers, to provide services and components for our products which may be impacted due to supply shortages, long lead times or other service disruptions that may lead to increased costs due to the effects of global conflicts and geopolitical issues such as the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine or China-Taiwan relations; our ability to maintain the value and reputation of our brand and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights; the risk that our sales fall below our forecasts, especially during the holiday season; the risk we fail to manage our operating expenses effectively, which may result in our financial performance suffering the fact that our continued profitability depends in part on further penetrating our total addressable market, and we may not be successful in doing so; the risk we are able to reduce our operating expenses and achieve profitability in 2025; the fact that we rely on sales of our cameras, mounts and accessories for substantially all of our revenue, and any decrease in the sales or change in sales mix of these products could harm our business; the risk that we may not successfully manage product introductions, product transitions, product pricing and marketing; our ability to maintain profitability if there are delays or issues in our product launches; the fact that a small number of retailers and distributors account for a substantial portion of our revenue and our level of business with them could be significantly reduced; our ability to attract, engage and retain qualified personnel; any changes to trade agreements, trade policies, tariffs, and import/export regulations; the impact of competition on our market share, revenue and profitability; the fact that we may experience fluctuating revenue, expenses and profitability in the future; risks related to inventory, purchase commitments and long-lived assets; 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; the effects of global conflicts and geopolitical issues such as the conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine or China-Taiwan relations and its effects on the United States and global economies and our business in particular; and other factors detailed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and as updated in filings with the SEC including the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof or as of the date otherwise stated herein. GoPro disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

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 percentage, operating expenses, operating income (loss), other income (expense), tax expense (benefit), 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 (benefit), 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 income tax expense (benefit), which may
change cash available to us;
-- adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest income (expense), which may
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 point of purchase (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 restructuring and
other related costs which primarily include severance-related costs,
stock-based compensation expenses, manufacturing consolidation charges,
facilities consolidation charges recorded in connection with
restructuring actions, including right-of-use asset impairment charges
(if applicable), and the related ongoing operating lease cost of those
facilities recorded under ASC 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 non-GAAP net
income (loss) as we believe their inclusion would hinder our ability to
assess core operational performance;
-- adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes any gain or loss
on the extinguishment of debt because it is not reflective of ongoing
operating results in the period, and the frequency and amount of such
gains and losses vary;
-- 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 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 can contribute to revenue generation;
-- non-GAAP net income (loss) includes income tax adjustments. In the first
quarter of 2024, we revised our income tax adjustments to reflect the
current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) and the effect of
non-GAAP adjustments to better align with SEC guidance. For comparative
purposes, we have revised the prior year income tax adjustments to
reflect current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) and the effect
of non-GAAP adjustments. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2024, we
revised the first quarter of 2024 income tax adjustment to exclude the
establishment of a valuation allowance on the United States federal and
state deferred tax assets;
-- GAAP and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share includes the dilutive, tax
effected cash interest expense associated with our 2025 Notes in periods
of net income, as if converted at the beginning of the period; and
-- other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures
differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative
measures.
