Corsair Gaming Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results; Beats Expectations; Reiterates Full Year Financial Outlook

MILPITAS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$CRSRCorsair Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRSR) (“Corsair” or the “Company”), a leading global provider and innovator of high-performance gear for gamers, streamers, content-creators, and gaming PC builders, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, and reiterated its financial outlook for the full year 2023.


Second Quarter 2023 Select Financial Metrics

First Half 2023 Select Financial Metrics

Andy Paul, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair, stated, “We are very excited with our Q2 and 1H results, showing growth in revenue, gross margin, and profitability compared to last year. The gaming hardware market improved during the second quarter with less discounting from peripheral competitors and continued strong gaming PC build activity driven by new games and new graphics cards launching. Activity in the U.S. and Europe is now on par with mid-2022 and substantially higher than pre-pandemic levels. We continue to take market share in our components and memory segment and improve gross margins in our peripheral categories, with less market discounting occurring. In June, we launched a new ecosystem, iCUE link, which uses special proprietary connectors and protocols so that components can be connected together in series with one cable, and then controlled individually via our iCUE software. We believe this makes gaming system building much easier and should entice more new first-time customers. Following the quarter close, we announced the acquisition of certain assets of Drop, a community-based e-commerce company specializing in customized DIY keyboards and keycaps and many other enthusiast and audiophile products. We expect some significant opportunities and synergies here, both by offering custom versions of our products on the Drop site, as well as introducing some of their popular products into our worldwide channel.”

Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer of Corsair, stated, “We are pleased with the substantial financial improvement led by revenue growth, improved gross margins, steadily improving adjusted EBITDA, and a more balanced inventory. We exceeded our near-term expectations for gross margins, which increased 140 basis points compared to Q1 2023, and increased 1,270 basis points and 580 basis points, compared to Q2 2022 with and without the impact of the Q2 2022 excess inventory reserve, as we benefitted from ongoing improvements in freight costs, as well as new products. We continued to be operational cash flow positive, while investing in inventory to support the expected stronger second half of 2023. Shortly after quarter-end we invested in growth via our acquisition of certain of Drop’s assets. We expect liquidity to remain excellent for the rest of 2023 allowing us to be flexible as opportunities present themselves.”

Financial Outlook

The Company reiterated its outlook for the full year 2023 for revenue to be flat to slightly up in 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.

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, depreciation and 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.

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, including its expectations regarding continued growth in the gaming hardware market in the second half of 2023 and its expectations regarding liquidity in the second half of 2023 led by estimated revenue growth and continued margin improvements; its expectations regarding potential significant opportunities and synergies from the acquisition of certain 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 impact of global instability, such as the war between Russia and Ukraine, and any sanctions or other geopolitical tensions that may result therefrom; delays or disruptions at our or third-parties’ manufacturing and distribution facilities; our ability to successfully integrate any companies or assets we 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 June 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:

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.
