"I couldn't be more proud of our aggressive pace of innovation. With the introduction of HERO4 Session and HERO+ LCD, we've launched five new cameras in the past 10 months, exciting both new and existing customers and contributing to strong second quarter results," said GoPro Founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman. "Our core business is enjoying terrific momentum as we charge forward into attractive adjacent markets."

GoPro reports gross profit, operating expenses, operating income (loss), 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.  Non-GAAP net income excludes, where applicable, the effects of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and the tax impact of these items.  Additionally, GoPro reports non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.  A reconciliation of preliminary GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as a description of items excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures is presented in the financial statement portion of this release.

Second Quarter 2015 and Recent GoPro Highlights Include:

  • Launched HERO4 Session featuring simple one-button control and an exciting new form factor 50% smaller and 40% lighter than other HERO4 cameras. Innovative, water-proof design eliminates the need for a separate housing, reducing complexity and vastly improving audio performance.
  • Introduced HERO+ LCD, adding touch screen convenience, in-camera video trimming and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth integration to the entry-level camera line-up.
  • Released new accessories including the Ball Joint Buckle and Floaty for HERO4 Session and The Strap, The Jam, and Casey to enhance the versatility of GoPro products.
  • GoPro products are now sold in more than 40,000 stores worldwide, reflecting the addition of new retail customers, increased store counts with existing customers, and international expansion.
  • According to NPD, GoPro accounted for 4 of the top 5 products on a unit basis in the combined digital camera and camcorder category, in the US for Q2. In the same category, on a dollar basis, GoPro capture devices accounted for 3 of the top 5 products. GoPro was also the leader in accessory unit sales with 8 of the top 10 selling accessories.
  • Increased shipments of Point-of-Purchase (POP) displays by over 40%; linear feet of new POP displays increased over 75% for the first six months of 2015, year-over-year.
  • International sales totaled more than 50% of Q2 revenue; combined EMEA and APAC revenue was up 126% year-over-year. China is now a top ten revenue-generating country for GoPro.
  • Announced a GoPro-branded quad-copter to debut in the first half of 2016. Also announced a Six-Camera Spherical Array for shooting virtual reality and Odyssey, a 16-Camera Array unveiled in partnership with Google's Jump initiative.
  • GoPro is the official camera of the Tour de France. GoPros are mounted on riders and their bikes, providing never-before-seen perspectives on the world's most prestigious cycling race.
  • GoPro Motorrad Grand Prix of Deutschland viewed live by more than 9 million people across Europe; millions more viewed the broadcast in other countries. Each GoPro Course Preview video generated more than a half million views each.
  • The GoPro Mobile App was downloaded 2.5 million times in Q2, totaling over 18 million cumulative downloads; Q2 installs of GoPro Studio exceeded 1.7 million, up over 100% year-over-year.
  • Unveiled GoPro Licensing, a content licensing portal that professionals can use to search, sort, and request a license to content from GoPro's rapidly growing library.

Note on Forward-looking Statements

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.  Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are the effects of the highly competitive market in which we operate; our dependence on sales of our capture devices for substantially all of our revenue; our reliance on third-party suppliers, some of which are sole-source suppliers, to provide components for our products; the fact that we do not expect to continue to grow in the future at the same rate as we have in the past, and profitability in recent periods might not be indicative of future performance; difficulty in accurately predicting our future customer demand; the importance of maintaining the value and reputation of our brand; any inability to successfully manage frequent product introductions and transitions; the effects of international business uncertainties; our reliance on our Chief Executive Officer; and other factors detailed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  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.

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, operating expenses, operating income, net income, earnings 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 costs include the amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily consisting of acquired developed technology, and 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 they are not related to our core operating performance, 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.
  • 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 and the initial public offering shares issued July 2014, as if they had been outstanding since the beginning of the period.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are set forth below ($ in thousands):
