GOPRO ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

July 31, 2014

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO), maker of one of the world's most versatile cameras and enabler of some of today's most engaging content, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue in the second quarter of 2014 was $244.6 million, up 38.1% compared to the $177.1 million reported in the second quarter of 2013. Second quarter 2014 revenue increased 3.8% compared to $235.7 million reported in the first quarter of 2014.

"We delivered a strong quarter of operating results driven by increased demand for our Hero 3+ Black Edition and demand for our accessory products," said Nicholas Woodman, CEO of GoPro. "We are seeing a tremendous volume of quality content generated by our users and a 200% year over year increase in video views on YouTube, which is fueling our virtuous cycle whereby viewership of GoPro content drives sales. Our second quarter performance demonstrates our users' continued passion for GoPro's products, content and brand."

GoPro reports gross profit, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with GAAP and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP net income excludes, where applicable, the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the tax impact of these excluded items. A reconciliation of preliminary GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as a description of items excluded in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures, is presented in the financial statement portion of this release.

Non-GAAP gross margin in the second quarter of 2014 was 42.2%, compared to 32.3% in the second quarter of 2013 and 41.1% in the first quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2014 was $17.8 million, compared to an operating loss of ($3.2) million in the second quarter of 2013 and operating income of $20.9 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2014 was $11.8 million or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($3.2) million or ($0.03) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 and net income of $14.3 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2014.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), GoPro recorded a net loss attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2014 of $(19.8) million or $(0.24) per diluted share. This compares to a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(5.1) million or $(0.06) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 and GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2014 of $8.5 million or $0.08 per diluted share.

Second quarter GAAP gross margin was 42.1%, compared to gross margin of 32.1% in the second quarter of 2013 and 40.9% in the first quarter of 2014.  Second quarter GAAP operating loss was ($16.7) million, compared to an operating loss of ($6.0) million in the second quarter of 2013 and operating income of $16.6 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Cash was $104.9 million at June 30, 2014, up $77.6 million from June 30, 2013 and down $6.3 million from March 31, 2014. Net cash proceeds of $200.8 million from closing of the company's initial public offering were received on July 1, 2014 and are therefore not included in the June 30, 2014 cash balance.

This press release may contain projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual events or results may differ materially.

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

To supplement our unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses, operating profit (loss), net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor serve as an alternative for GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our GAAP results of operations. These non-GAAP measures should only be viewed in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures.

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our core operating performance on a period-to-period basis. The excluded items represent stock-based compensation and charges that are primarily driven by discrete events that we do not consider to be directly related to core operating performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the core operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans and for calculating return on investment. In addition, management's incentive compensation is determined using non-GAAP measures. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results reviewed by management in addition to seeing GAAP results. 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.

The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Stock-based compensation expense relates 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 as we believe their inclusion would hinder our ability to assess core operational performance. We believe that excluding this expense provides greater visibility to the underlying performance of our business operations, facilitates comparison of our results with other periods, and may also facilitate comparison with the results of other companies in our industry.
  • Acquisition-related charges include the amortization of acquired intangible assets primarily consisting of acquired technology, customer relationships, trade names and covenants not to compete related to our acquisitions. These charges are not factored into our evaluation of potential acquisitions, or of our performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to our core operating performance, and the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions and the maturities of the businesses being acquired.
  • Adjustment for taxes relates to the tax effect of the adjustments that we incorporate into non-GAAP measures in order to provide a more meaningful measure of non-GAAP net income. We believe that these adjustments provide us with the ability to more clearly view trends in our core operating performance.
  • Adjustment to shares includes the conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock as though the conversion had occurred at the beginning of the period, the initial public offering shares issued July 2014, as if they had been outstanding since the beginning of the period, and the addition of all dilutive awards outstanding that were excluded from the GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive as a result of our net loss position.
