Definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and reconciliations of such measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents are included below under the heading “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

“We are excited to see the market for gaming and streaming product continue to grow at such a pace.  It is clear that a new wave of gamers and streamers has entered the market as well as consumers building gaming PCs for the first time.  Our expectation is that all these people that are new to the market will continue to buy gaming and streaming products from us for many years into the future.  I am particularly pleased that the revenue from our gaming components and systems segment is now over $1 billion.  And equally happy to see our gamer and creator peripherals segment grow by 83% and break through the half billion milestone.  Obviously this is amazing growth in both segments.  We continue to bring out exciting new product in all our product lines, and these seem to be resonating well with our current and new customers.  In fact our last three major product launches, the K100 keyboard, the Elgato Wave microphone, and the 4000X gaming case, are all showing near 5 star reviews at major retailers, and gained solid market share in a short time,” stated Andy Paul, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair.

“We are extremely pleased with our financial performance in the fourth quarter.  We have paid off an additional $50 million in debt during the quarter, making the total debt repayment $190 million for 2020.  We expect to continue to use our operating cashflows to reduce our debt and continue to invest in growth.  We also had a successful secondary offering this January, with all net proceeds going to the selling shareholders participating in the secondary,” said Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer of Corsair.

Financial Outlook

For the full year 2021, we currently expect:

• Net revenue to be in the range of $1.8 billion to $1.95 billion.
• Adjusted operating income to be in the range of $205 million to $220 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $215 million to $230 million.

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, public offering related charges, depreciation and amortization, severance, IPO costs 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.

Please see “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a discussion on how we calculate the non-GAAP measures presented herein and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Recent Developments

• On February 1, 2021, in the patent infringement case, Ironburg Inventions Ltd. v.

• On January 26, 2021, Corsair closed its follow-on public offering by selling stockholders of 8,625,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $35.00 per share.  The total gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses were approximately $301,875,000.  The selling stockholders received all of the net proceeds from the offering.

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, our estimated full year 2021 net revenue, adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA, as well as our belief that more new gamers and streamers are entering the market  and that they will continue to buy gaming and streaming products from us for many years into the future. 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: 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;  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; 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; delays or disruptions at our or third-party’s manufacturing and distribution facilities; 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; the impact of the coronavirus on our  business; general economic conditions that adversely effect, among other things, consumer confidence and spending.; and the other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 10, 2020, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (once available) 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 and full year ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the preliminary financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release presents certain non-GAAP financial information, including Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income 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 Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP 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 Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share 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 performance 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 attached schedules.

We calculate these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

• Adjusted operating income, non-GAAP, is determined by adding back to GAAP operating income the acquisition accounting impacts related to recognizing acquired deferred revenue and inventory at fair value, change in fair value of contingent consideration for business acquisition, stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain acquisition-related and integration-related expenses, executive transition costs, non-deferred costs associated with the IPO and the secondary offering, and debt modification costs.
• Adjusted net income, non-GAAP, is determined by adding back to GAAP net income (loss) the acquisition accounting impacts related to recognizing acquired deferred revenue and inventory at fair value, change in fair value of contingent consideration for business acquisition, stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization, certain acquisition-related and integration-related expenses, executive transition costs, non-deferred costs associated with the IPO and the secondary offering, debt modification costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, and the related tax effects of each of these adjustments.
• Adjusted net income per diluted share, non-GAAP, is determined by dividing adjusted net income, 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 acquisition accounting impacts related to recognizing acquired deferred revenue and inventory at fair value, change in fair value of contingent consideration for business acquisition, stock-based compensation, certain acquisition-related and integration-related expenses, executive transition costs, non-deferred costs associated with the IPO and the secondary offering, debt modification costs, intangible asset amortization, depreciation and amortization, interest expense (including loss on extinguishment of debt) and tax expense (benefit).
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net revenue for the respective periods. 

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.
