To date, the Company’s cameras, mountable and wearable accessories, subscription and service, and implied post contract support have generated substantially all of its revenue. The Company sells its products globally on its website, and through retailers and wholesale distributors. The Company’s global corporate headquarters are located in San Mateo, California. Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), and with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31, and its fiscal quarters end on March 31, June 30, and September 30. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial statements, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in future periods. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (2023 Annual Report). There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, except for estimates used in the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis and assessment of the recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Principles of consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include those related to revenue recognition and the allocation of the transaction price (including sales incentives, sales returns and implied post contract support), inventory valuation, product warranty liabilities, the valuation, impairment and useful lives of long-lived assets (property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets and goodwill), fair value of convertible senior notes, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected. The Company performs an annual assessment of its goodwill during the fourth quarter of each calendar year or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, such as an adverse change in business climate, declines in market capitalization or a decline in the overall industry demand, that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of its single reporting unit is less than its’ carrying value. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its single reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company measures the amount of impairment as the amount the carrying value of its single reporting unit exceeds the fair value, up to the carrying value of goodwill, by using a discounted cash flow method and market approach method. Although the Company’s market capitalization further declined in the third quarter of 2024, the Company does not believe that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its single reporting unit is less than the carrying value. Using the market capitalization approach, which the Company expects would be similar to the discounted cash flow method, the fair value of the single reporting unit is estimated based on the trading price of the Company’s 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 September 30, 2024, the market capitalization exceeded the carrying value of the single reporting unit by 13% which was not adjusted for an acquisition control premium. The acquisition control premium would further increase the percentage by which the estimated fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit would exceed the carrying value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit is sensitive to the volatility in the Company’s stock price. For example, a 5% decrease in the Company’s September 30, 2024 stock price would result in its market capitalization exceeding the carrying value of its single reporting unit by 8%, which is not adjusted for an acquisition control premium. If the Company's market capitalization continues to decline or future performance falls below the Company’s 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 the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations in the reporting period in which a charge would be necessary. The Company will continue to monitor developments, including updates to the Company’s forecasts and market capitalization. An update of the Company’s assessment and related estimates may be required in the future. Liquidity. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $130.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and an accumulated deficit of $644.4 million. Based on the Company’s current cash balance, its cost reductions implemented to date, and working capital adjustments, the Company anticipates it will have sufficient funds to meet its strategic and working capital requirements, debt service requirements and lease payment obligations for at least twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company also had $44.8 million available to draw from its 2021 Credit Agreement (as defined below) as of September 30, 2024 and its 2025 Notes are due in November 2025, which the Company has the ability to convert the balance due into stock under certain circumstances. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate debt or equity financing when it is required or on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s ability to grow its business, repay debt and respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. 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 the Company’s operations and the global economic outlook, among other factors, could impact its business and liquidity. The Company will continue to evaluate additional measures, including cost reduction initiatives, debt or equity refinancing, and other similar arrangements. In addition, in October 2024, the Company initiated a cost reduction effort that is expected to reduce headcount by approximately 26% compared to its headcount ending Q2 2024, reduce marketing expenses in the second half of 2024 as well as 2025, and reduce other general expenses. Management considered whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and evaluated the funds necessary to maintain operations. Based on the Company’s current cash flow projections, the Company has concluded that its available cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to continue operating activities for at least twelve months following the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss). For all periods presented, comprehensive income (loss) approximated net income (loss). Therefore, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) have been omitted. Revenue recognition. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of cameras, mounts, accessories, subscription and service, and implied post contract support to customers. The transaction price recognized as revenue represents the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to and is primarily comprised of product revenue, net of returns and variable consideration, which includes sales incentives provided to customers. The Company’s camera sales contain multiple performance obligations that can include the following four separate obligations: (i) a camera hardware component (which may be bundled with hardware accessories) and the embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the camera component delivered at the time of sale, (ii) a subscription and service, (iii) the implied right for the customer to receive post contract support after the initial sale (PCS), and (iv) the implicit right to the Company’s downloadable free apps and software solutions. The Company’s PCS includes the right to receive, on a when and if available basis, future unspecified firmware upgrades and features as well as bug fixes, and email, chat, and telephone support. The Company recognizes revenue from its sales arrangements when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transferred goods or services. For the sale of hardware products, including related firmware and free software solutions, revenue is recognized when transfer of control occurs at a point in time, which generally is at the time the hardware product is shipped and collection is considered probable. For customers who purchase products directly from GoPro.com, the Company retains a portion of the risk of loss on these sales during transit, which are accounted for as fulfillment costs. For PCS, revenue is recognized ratably over 24 months, which represents the estimated period PCS is expected to be provided based on historical experience. The Company’s subscription and service revenue is recognized primarily from its Premium+, Premium, and Quik subscription offerings and is recognized ratably over the subscription term, with any payments received in advance of services rendered recorded as deferred revenue. The Company launched its Premium+ subscription in February 2024, which includes cloud storage up to 500 gigabytes (GB) of non-GoPro content, access to GoPro’s HyperSmooth Pro video stabilization software, and the features included in the Premium subscription. The Company’s Premium subscription offers a range of services, including unlimited cloud storage of GoPro content supporting source video and photo quality, damaged camera replacement, cloud storage up to 25 GB of non-GoPro content, highlight videos automatically delivered via the Company’s mobile app when GoPro camera footage is uploaded to a GoPro cloud account using Auto Upload, access to a high-quality live streaming service on GoPro.com as well as discounts on GoPro cameras, gear, mounts, and accessories. The Company also offers the Quik subscription that provides access to a suite of simple single-clip and multi-clip editing tools. Subscription and service revenue was $27.5 million, or 10.6% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and $79.7 million, or 13.3% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Subscription and service revenue as a percentage of 2023 annual revenue was not material. For the Company’s camera sale arrangements with multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells its products, and subscription and service. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, then the Company estimates the standalone selling prices considering market conditions and entity-specific factors. For example, the standalone selling price for PCS is determined based on a cost-plus approach, which incorporates the level of support provided to customers, estimated costs to provide such support, and the amount of time and costs that are allocated to efforts to develop the undelivered elements. The Company’s standard terms and conditions of sale for non-web-based sales do not allow for product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company grants limited rights of return, primarily to certain large retailers. The Company reduces revenue and cost of sales for the estimated returns based on analyses of historical return trends by customer class and other factors. An estimated return liability along with a right to recover assets are recorded for future product returns. Return trends are influenced by product life cycles, new product introductions, market acceptance of products, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality, and other factors. Return rates may fluctuate over time but are sufficiently predictable to allow the Company to estimate expected future product returns. The Company provides sales commissions to internal and external sales representatives which are earned in the period in which revenue is recognized. As a result, the Company expenses sales commissions as incurred. Deferred revenue as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, includes amounts related to the Company’s subscriptions and PCS. The Company’s short-term and long-term deferred revenue balances totaled $57.0 million and $59.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $11.2 million and $12.2 million of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $50.6 million and $50.6 million of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of the deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $23.0 million and $23.1 million of revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Sales incentives. The Company offers sales incentives through various programs, including cooperative advertising, price protection, marketing development funds, and other incentives. Sales incentives are considered to be variable consideration, which the Company estimates and records as a reduction to revenue at the date of sale. The Company estimates sales incentives based on historical experience, product sell-through, and other factors. Income taxes. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for computing its income tax provision, under which, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Management makes estimates, assumptions, and judgments to determine the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income in each tax jurisdiction and, to the extent the Company believes recovery is not likely, establishes a valuation allowance. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company provided a valuation allowance of $294.9 million on United States federal and state deferred tax assets. The Company intends to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on its United States federal and state deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized within income tax expense. Segment information. The Company operates as one operating segment as it only reports financial information on an aggregate and consolidated basis to its Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker. Business Acquisitions. The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control of a business is obtained, 100% of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses including transaction and integration costs are expensed as incurred. The Company uses various models to determine the value of assets acquired such as the cost method. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may be considered to have indefinite useful lives. Recent accounting standards. Standard Description Effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements or other significant matters Standards not yet adopted Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ASU No. 2023-07 This standard is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an interim and annual basis. Additionally, this standard would require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The standard requires retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its 2024 Form 10-K financial statements and related disclosures. Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ASU No. 2023-09 This standard requires reporting companies to break out income tax expense and a tax rate reconciliation in more detail. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard requires prospective transition with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements and related disclosures. Although there are several other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
