Second quarter 2024 financial performance
Current report
Revenue for the first six months of 2024 was $341.7 million, or a 17.8% decrease from the same period in 2023. This was primarily driven by the impact of our May 2023 strategic pricing decision to reduce the MSRPs across our camera line up and a corresponding shift in camera revenue mix as we offered entry level cameras at a sub-$300 price point for the first time since 2019, and a 16.9% decrease in units shipped for the first six months of 2024 of 969 thousand, compared to 1.2 million in the same period in 2023, partially offset by a $27.7 million decrease in price protection charges. In the first six months of 2024, our average selling price decreased 1.1% year-over-year to $352 and our camera revenue mix from cameras with an MSRP equal to or greater than $400 was 74% compared to 81% for the same period in 2023. In the first six months of 2024, our subscription and service revenue increased 9.9% to $52.2 million, which is included in the GoPro.com channel. GoPro.com revenue represented 28.8% and 41.0% of total revenue for the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, while retail revenue represented 71.2% and 59.0% of total revenue for the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The growth of the retail channel was partially due to adding more than 5,100 new retail doors since the second quarter of 2023.
Current report
Gross margin of 30.5% for the second quarter of 2024 decreased from 31.4% in the same period of 2023, or 90 bps, primarily due to lower average selling prices and higher promotional activity (620 bps), and less accessory revenue (70 bps), partially offset by an increase in subscription and service revenue (240 bps), lower operational costs (210 bps), and lower camera costs (150 bps).
Current report
Gross margin of 32.1% in the first half of 2024 increased from 30.9% in the same period of 2023, or 120 bps, primarily due to lower camera costs (200 bps), an increase in subscription and service revenue (190 bps), and lower operational costs (150 bps), partially offset by a decrease in camera pricing, net of price protection and other sales incentives (260 bps), and less accessory revenue (160 bps).
Current report
The year-over-year increase of $11.5 million, or 14.3%, in total research and development expense in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily driven by a $4.8 million increase in consulting and professional services, a $4.3 million increase in cash-based personnel-related costs, a $2.6 million increase in restructuring costs, and a $0.6 million increase in acquisition-related costs, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense.
Current report
The year-over-year increase of $1.4 million, or 3.6%, in total sales and marketing expense for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily driven by a $2.1 million increase in advertising and marketing expenses primarily attributable to sponsorships and point of purchase display depreciation expense, a $0.9 million increase in restructuring costs, and a $0.2 million increase in travel related expenses, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in credit card fees, and a $0.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense.
Current report
The year-over-year decrease of $2.9 million, or 8.9%, in total sales and marketing expense in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily driven by a $2.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.5 million decrease in consulting and professional services, a $0.6 million decrease in allocated facilities, depreciation, and supporting overhead expenses, and a $0.5 million decrease in bad debt expense, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in restructuring costs and a $0.8 million increase in acquisition-related costs.

Other Contractual Commitments
Current report
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into multi-year agreements to purchase sponsorships with event organizers, resorts, and athletes as part of our marketing efforts, software licenses related to our financial and IT systems, operating lease arrangements to support our operations in the U.S. and international locations, and various other contractual commitments. The following table summarizes our other contractual obligations as of June 30, 2024, and the expected timing of those payments:

See Note 10 Commitments, contingencies, and guarantees, for a discussion regarding facility leases and other contractual commitments in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Current report
Our foreign deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction are supported by taxable income or in the case of acquired companies, by the future reversal of deferred tax liabilities. It is more likely than not that our foreign deferred tax assets will be realized and thus, a valuation allowance is not required on our foreign deferred tax assets.
Current report
(1)In the first quarter of 2024, we revised the non-GAAP income tax adjustments to reflect 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 our prior period 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 United States federal and state deferred tax assets.

First quarter 2024 financial performance
Previous report
Gross margin of 34.1% for the first quarter of 2024 increased from 30.0% in the same period of 2023, or 410 bps, primarily due to lower camera costs, 230 bps, an increase in subscription and service revenue, 110 bps, and lower operational costs associated with reduced revenue mix from GoPro.com, 70 bps. In the first quarter of 2023, we incurred a $23.5 million price protection charge related to our strategy shift, which included a reduction of camera MSRPs in May 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, our camera price points reflected the pricing changes enacted in May 2023, resulting in net pricing that was reasonably consistent year-over-year.
Previous report
(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the income tax adjustments reflect current and deferred income tax and the effect of non-GAAP adjustments to better align with SEC guidance, and also includes the establishment of a valuation allowance on United States federal and state deferred tax assets.

We continue to monitor the current evolving macroeconomic landscape. Inflation, fluctuating interest rates, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and recession concerns places increasing pressure on many areas of our business, including product pricing, operating expenses, component pricing and consumer spending. In the past, the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies largely impacted our revenue and gross margin. If the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to other foreign currencies in the future, our financial results will be negatively impacted. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of the possible impact of evolving macroeconomic conditions on our business.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $155.5 million, which represented an 11.0% decrease from the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by the 14.9% decrease in units shipped in the quarter of 393 thousand, compared to 462 thousand in the same period in 2023, partially offset by an 11.6% increase in our subscription and service revenue year-over-year. Units shipped decreased year-over-year primarily due to macroeconomic issues resulting in a softer consumer market in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions, particularly in China, although other markets saw softness in the Asia-Pacific region as well, reduction of channel inventory sequentially by our retail partners, and increased competition in the North American and Asia-Pacific region, primarily in China. Our first quarter 2024 camera revenue mix from cameras with an MSRP equal to or greater than $400 was 70% compared to 87% for the same period in 2023 as a result of our strategic MSRP reductions. Despite these factors, our first quarter of 2024 average selling price increased 4.5% year-over-year to $395, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in subscription and service revenue. Average selling price is defined as total reported revenue divided by camera units shipped. Retail revenue was $106.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 and represented 68.4% of total revenue, compared to 45.7% of total revenue for the same period in 2023. GoPro.com revenue, which includes subscription and service revenue, was $49.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and represented 31.6% of total revenue, compared to 54.3% of total revenue for the same period in 2023. Our overall subscription attach rate from both sales on GoPro.com and from post-camera purchases at retail was 48% in the first quarter of 2024. Our aggregate retention rate for annual subscribers was 69% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 65% in the same period in 2023, a 6% improvement. Our gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2024 was 34.1% and benefitted primarily from year-over-year reductions in camera component costs and an increase in subscription and service revenue. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $339.1 million compared to net loss of $29.9 million in the same period in 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a $294.9 million valuation allowance on all our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future primarily due to near term macroeconomic factors, competition, acquisition integration expenses, restructuring costs, and development of our product road map. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was negative $29.3 million, compared to negative $27.5 million for the same period in 2023.
Current wording
Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $186.2 million, which represented a 22.7% decrease from the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by an 18.2% decrease in units shipped in the quarter of 576 thousand, compared to 704 thousand in the same period in 2023 and an increase in second quarter sales incentives, partially offset by an 8.2% increase in our subscription and service revenue. The second quarter of 2024 sell-in was impacted by the delayed launch of our new entry-level camera from the second quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2024 and a reduction of channel inventory. Additionally, the continued consumer-related macroeconomic issues resulting in a softer consumer market in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions, particularly in China, and an increasingly global competitive landscape, notably in China, negatively impacted the second quarter of 2024 sell-in and sell-through. Our second quarter of 2024 camera revenue mix from cameras with an MSRP equal to or greater than $400 was 76% compared to 75% for the same period in 2023. Our second quarter of 2024 average selling price decreased 5.6% year-over-year to $323, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in second quarter sales incentives of $10.5 million, partially offset by an increase in our subscription and service revenue. Average selling price is defined as total reported revenue divided by camera units shipped. Retail revenue was $137.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and represented 73.6% of total revenue, compared to 68.6% of total revenue for the same period in 2023. GoPro.com revenue, which includes subscription and service revenue, was $49.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and represented 26.4% of total revenue, compared to 31.4% of total revenue for the same period in 2023. Our overall subscription attach rate from both sales on GoPro.com and from post-camera purchases at retail was 45% in the second quarter of 2024. Our aggregate retention rate for annual subscribers was 68% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 64% in the same period in 2023, a 7% improvement. Our gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2024 was 30.5%, which was nearly flat year-over-year. Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $47.8 million compared to net loss of $17.2 million in the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was negative $33.4 million, compared to negative $10.3 million for the same period in 2023. Cash was flat sequentially and we reduced inventory by 25.8% sequentially to make way for new product introductions expected in the third quarter of 2024.

We remain focused on increasing our total addressable market with new and innovative products, increasing unit sales volume of our existing products, increasing our subscriber base, and will continue our focus to grow and cultivate the partnerships with our distributors and retailers to rebuild our retail channel. In executing our strategy to rebuild our retail presence, our expectation is that sales from our retail channel will continue to increase relative to sales on GoPro.com. Wehave grown our subscribers and subscription and service revenue over the past several years and continue to make strategic decisions to enhance our subscription offerings, grow subscribers, increase retention, and increase subscription and service revenue.

Improving profitability. We believe that our continued focus on growing our total addressable market from our retail and GoPro.com channels, including subscription and service revenue, will support our ability to return to profitability on an annual basis due to increases in unit volume, subscribers and related revenue, and continued operating expense control. We continue to believe that international markets represent a significant opportunity to achieve profitability. While the total market for digital cameras has continued to decline as smartphone and tablet camera quality has improved, we continue to believe that our consumers’ differentiated use of GoPro cameras, our mobile and desktop app and cloud solutions, our continued innovation of product features desired by our users, and our brand, all help support our business from many of the negative trends facing the digital camera market. However, we expect that the markets in which we conduct our business will remain highly competitive as we face new product introductions from competitors. Sales in international locations subject us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and regional macroeconomic conditions that may cause us to adjust pricing which may make our products more or less attractive to the consumer. Continued fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and regional macroeconomic conditions could have a continued impact on our future operating results.

Our second quarter of 2024 average selling price decreased 5.6% year-over-year to $323, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in second quarter sales incentives of $10.5 million, partially offset by an increase in our subscription and service revenue. Retail revenue was $137.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and represented 73.6% of total revenue, compared to 68.6% of total revenue for the same period in 2023. GoPro.com revenue, which includes subscription and service revenue, was $49.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and represented 26.4% of total revenue, compared to 31.4% of total revenue for the same period in 2023.

We recorded an income tax expense of $298.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, on pre-tax net loss of $40.9 million. Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily resulted from a tax expense of $1.4 million on pre-tax book income in certain tax jurisdictions, and discrete items that included $294.9 million of net tax expense from the establishment of a valuation allowance on United States federal and state net deferred tax assets, and $2.5 million of nondeductible equity tax expense for employee stock-based compensation, partially offset by $0.4 million of restructuring charges.
Current wording
We recorded an income tax expense of $299.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 on pre-tax net loss of $87.4 million.

Previous wording
Each quarter, we assess the realizability of our existing deferred tax assets under ASC Topic 740. We assess available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize our deferred tax assets. In the assessment for the period ended March 31, 2024, we concluded based on the introduction of negative evidence resulting from developments in the first quarter of 2024, such as increased and accelerated costs associated with our future product strategy and roadmap, an increasingly competitive environment, integration and product development costs related to the recent acquisition of Forcite Helmet Systems, restructuring costs and other negative factors, that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets related to United States federal and state deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, after consideration of our deferred tax liabilities and recent developments, we provided a valuation allowance of $294.9 million on United States federal and state deferred tax assets. That determination was also based, in part, on our revised expectation that our projections of pre-tax losses in 2024 and future years will cause us to be in a cumulative GAAP loss for ASC Topic 740 purposes in 2024 and forward. We will continue to monitor our future financial results, expected projections and the potential impact on our assessment regarding the recoverability of our deferred tax asset balances and in the event there is a need to release the valuation allowance, a tax benefit would be recorded.

We will continue to monitor our future financial results, expected projections and the potential impact on our assessment regarding the recoverability of our deferred tax asset balances and in the event there is a need to release the valuation allowance, a tax benefit would be recorded. Our foreign deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction are supported by taxable income or in the case of acquired companies, by the future reversal of deferred tax liabilities. It is more likely than not that our foreign deferred tax assets will be realized and thus, a valuation allowance is not required on our foreign deferred tax assets.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) established an inclusive framework on base erosion and profit shifting and agreed on a two-pillar solution (Pillar Two) to global taxation, focusing on global profit allocation and a 15% global minimum effective tax rate. On December 15, 2022, the EU member states agreed to implement the OECD’s global minimum tax rate of 15%. The OECD issued Pillar Two model rules and continues to release guidance on these rules. The inclusive framework calls for tax law changes by participating countries to take effect in 2024 and 2025. Various countries have enacted or have announced plans to enact new tax laws to implement the global minimum tax. We assessed the impact of Pillar Two and there is no material impact to our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We will continue to monitor future guidance issued and assess the potential impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We also have $44.8 million available to draw from our 2021 Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2024 and as our 2025 Notes are due in November 2025, we have the ability to convert the balance due into stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate debt or equity financing when we require it or on terms acceptable to us, our ability to grow our business, repay debt and respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. Although management believes its current cash resources are sufficient to sustain operations for one year from issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the success of our operations and the global economic outlook, among other factors, could impact our business and liquidity. We will continue to evaluate additional measures, including cost reduction initiatives, debt refinancing, and other similar arrangements. The current cash flow projections used in our evaluation do not include the impact of these additional measures.

Although our market capitalization further declined in the first quarter of 2024, we do not believe that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than the carrying value. Using the market capitalization approach, which we would expect to be similar to the discounted cash flow method, the fair value of our single reporting unit is estimated based on the trading price of our stock at the test date, which is further adjusted by an acquisition control premium representing the synergies a market participant would obtain when obtaining control of the business. As of March 31, 2024, the market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our single reporting unit by 34%, which was not adjusted for an acquisition control premium which would further increase the percentage the fair value exceeded the carrying value.

For example, our stock price decreased from $2.23 on March 31, 2024 to a low of $1.69 on April 22, 2024, which would have resulted in our market capitalization exceeding the carrying value of our single reporting unit by 13% which was not adjusted for an acquisition control premium. If our market capitalization continues to decline or future performance falls below our current expectations, assumptions, or estimates, including assumptions related to current macroeconomic uncertainties, this may trigger a future material non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations in the reporting period in which a charge would be necessary. We will continue to monitor developments, including updates to our forecasts and market capitalization. An update of our assessment and related estimates may be required in the future.

Each quarter, we assess the realizability of our existing deferred tax assets under ASC Topic 740. We assess available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize our deferred tax assets. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we continued to believe that it was more likely than not that our United States federal and state and foreign deferred tax assets would be realized and thus, a valuation allowance was not required on our deferred tax assets. Key considerations included a three-year cumulative income position with two years of income and a positive trend in our retail strategy in 2023, and we expected this retail strategy would favorably impact profitability in 2024 with a full year positive impact expected in 2025. During the first quarter of 2024, recent developments negatively impacted our assessment, and these included increased and accelerated costs associated with our future product strategy and roadmap, an increasingly competitive environment, integration and product development costs related to the recent acquisition of Forcite Helmet Systems, restructuring costs and other negative factors. Thus, as of March 31, 2024, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the United States federal and state deferred tax assets were not realizable and established a valuation allowance.
