Current report

In September 2024, we also began shipping our smallest and lightest version of a HERO camera which features a one-button design and touch display. The HERO camera can shoot videos at up to 4K at 30 FPS, captures photos with 12-megapixel resolution, and has a slow-motion setting of up to 2.7K at 60 FPS. The HERO camera captures content with a wide field of view lens so that HyperSmooth image stabilization can be applied in the Quik app.

Current report

Gross margin of 35.5% for the third quarter of 2024 increased from 32.0% in the same period of 2023, or 350 bps, primarily due to lower operational costs primarily related to reduced tariff expenses and improved warranty expenses (260 bps), a cost reduction of our entry level price point camera (240 bps), improved subscription related operating costs, an increase in annual revenue per user and an increase in subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue (130 bps), and lower prior generation camera costs (65 bps). These improvements were partially offset by an increase in promotions (300 bps) and fluctuations in foreign currency (75 bps).

Current report

Third quarter 2024 restructuring. In August 2024, we approved a restructuring plan (the Original Restructuring Plan) to reduce operating costs by reducing our global workforce by approximately 15%. In October 2024, we approved an amended restructuring plan (the Updated Restructuring Plan) to increase the reduction of our global workforce to approximately 26% compared to our headcount ending Q2 2024. In connection with the Original Restructuring Plan, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.1 million related to severance. Under the Updated Restructuring Plan, we expect to incur up to $9 million of severance related charges and up to $8 million of project cancellation costs in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Removed paragraphs (2)

Previous 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).

Previous 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.

Current wording

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $258.9 million, which represented a 12.0% decrease from the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by a 4.6% decrease in units shipped in the quarter of 881 thousand, compared to 923 thousand in the same period in 2023 and an increase in third quarter sales incentives, partially offset by a 10.6% increase in our subscription and service revenue. 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 third quarter of 2024 sell-in and sell-through. Our third quarter of 2024 camera revenue mix from cameras with an MSRP equal to or greater than $400 was 74% compared to 75% for the same period in 2023. Our third quarter of 2024 average selling price decreased 7.8% year-over-year to $294, primarily due to a 38.2% increase in unit sales of entry level priced cameras, a reduction of $300 and above camera unit sales, as well as an increase in promotional activity, 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 $207.9 million in the third quarter of 2024 and represented 80.3% of total revenue, compared to 78.5% of total revenue for the same period in 2023. GoPro.com revenue, which includes subscription and service revenue, was $51.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 and represented 19.7% of total revenue, compared to 21.5% 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 third quarter of 2024. Our aggregate retention rate for annual subscribers was 67% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 65% in the same period in 2023, a 4% improvement. Our gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2024 was 35.5%, an increase of 3.50% year-over year. Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $8.2 million compared to a net loss of $3.7 million in the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $5.4 million, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2023. Cash was down slightly sequentially, and inventory was slightly up year-over-year in preparation for the upcoming holiday season in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Investing in research and development and enhancing our customer experience. Our performance is significantly dependent on the investments we make in research and development, including our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and experienced research and development personnel. We expect the timing of new product releases to continue to have a significant impact on our revenue and we must continually develop and introduce innovative new cameras, mobile and desktop applications, and other new offerings. We plan to further build upon our integrated mobile, desktop and cloud-based storytelling solutions, and subscription offerings. Our investments, including those for marketing and advertising, and those related to development efforts associated with our most recent acquisition, may not successfully drive increased revenue and our customers may not accept our new offerings. If we fail to innovate and enhance our brand, our products, our mobile and desktop app experience, or the value proposition of our subscription, our market position and revenue will be adversely affected. Further, we have and will continue to incur substantial research and development expenses and if our efforts are not successful, we may not recover the value of these investments and our business may be adversely affected.

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, and broadening our range of products will support our ability to return to profitability on an annual basis due to timely and effective product launches, 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 seen an increase in competition, we 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 competitiveness within the market for digital camera. 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.

Seasonality. Historically, we have experienced the highest levels of total revenue in the fourth quarter of the year, coinciding with the holiday shopping season, particularly in the United States and Europe. While we have implemented operational changes aimed at reducing the impact of fourth quarter seasonality on full year performance, timely and effective product introductions, whether just prior to the holiday season or otherwise, and forecasting, are critical to our operations and financial performance.

Previous wording

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.

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 increased competitive environment, integration and product development costs related to the recent acquisition of Forcite Helmet Systems, restructuring costs and other negative factors, that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets related to United States federal and state deferred tax assets would not be realizable. Therefore, in the period ended March 31, 2024, 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. In the assessment for the period ended June 30, 2024, we concluded that it remains more likely than not that we will not be able to realize our deferred tax assets. 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024. We will continue to monitor future guidance issued and assess the potential impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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.

We considered whether there were conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and evaluate the funds necessary to maintain operations.

Although our market capitalization further declined in the second 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 June 30, 2024, the market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of our single reporting unit by 15%, which was not adjusted for an acquisition control premium which would further increase the percentage the fair value exceeded the carrying value.

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.
