Corsair Gaming Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results; 16.5% Revenue Growth Over Prior Year; Updates Full Year Financial Outlook

Milpitas, CA, November 7, 2023Corsair Gaming, Inc.

Andy Paul, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair, stated, “We are very pleased to see the continued year-over-year revenue growth and improvement in profitability both for the quarter and year to date. Sales of our core peripherals products have stabilized and are now starting to grow again as our new products gain traction. The robust and successful release of a steady stream of popular new game titles in 2023 is further spurring demand.

Several new key product launches are having an immediate effect on revenue. Our K70 line of keyboards has been refreshed with products that use our own range of switches, and we also released several new higher-end wireless gaming headsets and mice. Our long awaited Elgato Marketplace was just released, where our large installed base of Stream Deck users can buy apps and plug ins from many third-party developers, as well as our own creators. We also launched a new PC controller, the Scuf Envision, a console style controller (for PC use only) and has many additional programmable inputs, which bridges the gap between traditional controllers and a conventional keyboard and mouse. We believe that these types of product launches will help us continue to grow market share as we focus on the needs of competitive gamers.”

Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer of Corsair, stated, “We continued the substantial year-over-year financial improvement that started in the first half of the year. Revenue, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA all improved over the prior year with very encouraging gross margin recovery in our core peripherals products. We further reduced debt in Q3, and we continue to expect liquidity to remain excellent for the rest of 2023 allowing us to be flexible as opportunities present themselves. Our results include the impact of our recent acquisition of the assets of Drop. We expect to start realizing revenue and cost benefits from our Drop integration efforts early in 2024.”

Financial Outlook

Corsair is updating its outlook for the full year 2023, with tightened ranges. The Company expects revenue growth on a year-over-year basis, despite a softer economic environment as compared to 2022. Corsair continues to expect an improvement for the full year 2023 in adjusted EBITDA led by an improvement in margin, normalized shipping costs, and continued tight operating expense controls. This update includes the impact of the Company’s recent acquisition of the assets of Drop.

Net revenue for the full year 2023 is expected to be in the range of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion, compared to $1.35 billion to $1.55 billion previously.
Adjusted operating income is expected to be in the range of $80 million to $90 million, compared to $75 million to $95 million previously.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $95 million to $105 million, compared to $90 million to $110 million previously.

Certain non-GAAP measures included in our financial outlook were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis. We are unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include stock-based compensation charges, amortization, and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results.

The foregoing forward-looking statements reflect our expectations as of today's date. Given the number of risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions discussed below, actual results may differ materially. We do not intend to update our financial outlook until our next quarterly results announcement.


 

Recent Developments

Corsair released a range of new gaming peripherals, including new renditions of the popular K70 keyboard lineup, featuring Corsair-developed mechanical and magnetic switches. The M75 Air is an ultralight competitive FPS gaming mouse that is the Company’s lightest yet at 60g. New headsets address different market segments, with the multi-platform HS80 Max supporting Bluetooth and wireless connection, while the Virtuoso Pro is aimed at high-end audio enthusiasts with its graphene drivers and open-back design.
Corsair’s Scuf unveiled a new line of PC controllers, Scuf Envision. Specifically designed for PC gamers, Scuf Envision redefines the PC gaming experience with unprecedented customization and cutting-edge technology. The new controllers grant PC gamers a decisive advantage, with the additional control options that have made Scuf controllers synonymous with competitive gaming. Within and with a familiar shape and 11 additional remappable inputs compared to standard controllers, gamers can create a controller layout that suits their unique playstyle and puts every control within easy reach, for when it matters most.
Introduced the Elgato Prompter, which helps streamers and presenters connect with their audiences with natural eye contact. Video scripts, Twitch chat, and Zoom conference calls all benefit from the Prompter which connects to a camera or webcam and can mirror scripts, stream chat, or any other window you can drag and drop onto its built-in screen. With broad compatibility and Elgato Stream Deck support, Prompter makes pro video production accessible to a wider audience. Upon its introduction, the Prompter sold out within the first 24 hours.
Launched the Elgato digital creator Marketplace for streamers, video creators, podcasters and work professionals. Enables third parties, as well as the Company’s own makers, to develop and sell digital products (Plugins, Icons, Overlays and more) to an installed base of almost 2 million Stream Deck users. The Elgato Marketplace Launched with 1200+ digital products, including 320 plugins for Stream Deck from over 240 third-party makers. The Company believes that the Marketplace will increase interest and usage of Stream Deck and drive up the installed base.
Expanded iCUE LINK Ecosystem, a technology that simplifies the DIY PC building experience by reducing the wiring complexity of connecting components together. Extended the range of iCUE LINK enabled products with the introduction of Hydro X enabled CPU and GPU blocks and reservoirs. iCUE LINK continues to gain momentum, helping to expand the market by making PC building easier with single-cable digital connections allow for more elegant and capable systems.

Forward Looking Statements

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, Corsair’s expectations regarding market headwinds and tailwinds; its expectations regarding 2023; its expectations regarding potential significant revenue and cost opportunities from the integration of Drop’s assets; and its estimated full year 2023 net revenue, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to them. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: current macroeconomic conditions, including the impacts of high inflation and risk of recession on demand for our products, consumer confidence and financial markets generally; the lingering impacts and future outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our operations and the operations of our manufacturers, retailers and other partners, as well as its impacts on the economy overall, including capital markets; our ability to build and maintain the strength of our brand among gaming and streaming enthusiasts and our ability to continuously develop and successfully market new gear and improvements to existing gear; the introduction and success of new third-party high-performance computer hardware, particularly graphics processing units and central processing units as well as sophisticated new video games; fluctuations in operating results; the risk that we are not able to compete with competitors and/or that the gaming industry, including streaming and esports, does not grow as expected or declines; the loss or inability to attract and retain key management; the impacts from geopolitical events and unrest; delays or disruptions at our or third-parties’ manufacturing and distribution facilities; our ability to successfully integrate any companies or assets we have acquired or may acquire; currency exchange rate fluctuations or international trade disputes resulting in our gear becoming relatively more expensive to our overseas customers or resulting in an increase in our manufacturing costs; and the other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and our subsequent filings with the SEC. Copies of each filing may be obtained from us or the SEC. All forward-looking statements reflect our beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances. Our results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 are also not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release presents certain non-GAAP financial information, including adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. These are important financial performance measures for us, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We


 

believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that we exclude in such non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to the key financial metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. We also present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it useful in measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations.

Our use of these terms may vary from that of others in our industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net revenue, operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash provided by operating activities, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached schedules.

We calculate these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

Adjusted operating income (loss), non-GAAP, is determined by adding back to GAAP operating income (loss), the impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, inventory reserve in excess of normal run rate to address overhang in the channel, restructuring costs, acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value, certain acquisition-related and integration-related costs, and other costs.
Adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP, is determined by adding back to GAAP net income (loss), the impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, inventory reserve in excess of normal run rate to address overhang in the channel, restructuring costs, acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value, certain acquisition-related and integration-related costs, and other costs, and the related tax effects of each of these adjustments.
Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, non-GAAP, is determined by dividing adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP by the respective weighted average shares outstanding, inclusive of the impact of other dilutive securities.
Adjusted EBITDA is determined by adding back to GAAP net income (loss), the impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, depreciation, interest expense, net, inventory reserve in excess of normal run rate to address overhang in the channel, restructuring costs, acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value, certain acquisition-related and integration-related costs, tax benefit, and other costs.

We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the related GAAP financial measures.

Q3 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS November 7, 2023 Exhibit 99.2


Slide 2

DISCLAIMER Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains forward looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: information or predictions concerning the Company's future financial performance, business plans and objectives, potential growth opportunities, potential pricing of products, potential market leadership, financing plans, competitive position, technological, industry or market trends and potential market opportunities. These statements are based on estimates and information available to the Company at the time of this presentation and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from the Company's current expectations as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to: current macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to the impacts of high inflation and the risk of a recession on demand for our products, consumer confidence and financial markets generally; the lingering impacts and future outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on its operations and the operations of its manufacturers, retailers and other partners, as well as its lingering impacts on the economy overall, including capital markets; the Company’s ability to build and maintain the strength of its brand among gaming and streaming enthusiasts and its ability to continuously develop and successfully market new gear and improvements to existing gear; the introduction and success of new third-party high-performance computer hardware, particularly graphics processing units and central processing units, as well as sophisticated new video games; fluctuations in operating results; the risk that the Company is not able to compete with competitors and/or that the gaming industry, including streaming and eSports, does not grow as expected or declines; the loss or inability to attract and retain key management; the impacts of geopolitical unrest and events; delays or disruptions at manufacturing and distribution facilities of the Company or third parties; the Company's ability to successfully integrate any companies or assets it has acquired or may acquire; currency exchange rate fluctuations or international trade disputes resulting in the Company’s gear becoming relatively more expensive to its overseas customers or resulting in an increase in the Company’s manufacturing costs; and the other factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and its subsequent filings with the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation, and does not intend, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties outlined in Corsair’s SEC filings. You may get these SEC documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share, which are not recognized under the generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States because management believes such measures are useful to investors. The non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The Company urges you to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures set forth in the Appendix to this presentation, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business. Market & Industry Data This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by the Company relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s business and the market for the Company’s products and its future growth. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of the Company’s future performance and the future performance of the market for its products are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

Given the number of risk factors, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are discussed in slide 2, actual results may differ materially. We do not intend to update our financial outlook until our next quarterly results announcement. Estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for our full annual financial statement and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Certain non-GAAP measures included in our financial outlook were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis. We are unable to reconcile these forward-looking into non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures for this period but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include stock-based compensation charges, public offering related charges, amortization, and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our GAAP financial results.  Financial Metrics  Updated 2023 Guidance Net Revenues $1.40-1.50 billion Adjusted Operating Income $80-90 million Adjusted EBITDA $95-105 million UPDATED FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FY 2023(1)

Slide 22

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial information, including Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share. These are important financial performance measures for us but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that we exclude in such non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to the key financial metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. We also present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe investors, analysts and rating agencies consider them useful in measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations. Our use of these terms may vary from that of others in our industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, operating income, net income, cash provided by operating activities or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the appendix. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the related GAAP financial measures.
