Rhea-AI Summary

Corsair Gaming (CRSR) reported financial results for Q2 2022, with net revenue of $283.9 million, down from $472.9 million a year prior.

• Adjusted operating income projected at $35 million to $50 million.

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Corsair Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRSR) (“Corsair” or the “Company”), a leading global provider and innovator of high-performance gear for gamers and content creators, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

• Net revenue was $283.9 million, in line with the Company’s preliminary revenue provided on July 21, 2022. Net revenue was $380.7 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $472.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. The sequential and year-over-year declines reflect the adverse impact of macro-economic headwinds affecting consumer spending on gaming gear, especially in Europe, and a channel inventory correction.
• Gamer and creator peripherals segment revenue was $89.0 million compared to $134.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $155.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.
• Gaming components and systems segment revenue was $194.9 million compared to $246.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, and $317.7 million in the second quarter of 2021.
• Operating loss was $55.0 million compared to operating loss of $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 and operating income of $34.7 million in the second quarter of 2021.
• Net loss per diluted share was $0.62 compared to net loss per diluted share of $0.05 in the first quarter of 2022 and net income per diluted share of $0.28 in the second quarter of 2021.
• Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $11.0 million compared to $15.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $51.6 million in the second quarter of 2021.

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.”

Andy Paul, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair, stated, “Headwinds from Q1 persisted through Q2, which is seasonally the lowest quarter for us, with macro-economic headwinds affecting consumer spending on gaming gear, especially in Europe combined with global inflation, the continued Russia and Ukraine conflict, and high freight costs. This resulted in a buildup of inventory both in our warehouses as well as in the retail channel, thus causing our channel partners to delay ordering while they clear this stock. Despite the challenging environment, we continue to see positive underlying growth trends in the gaming hardware sector, and we see spending levels significantly above pre -pandemic levels. We are also starting to see more enthusiasts building gaming PCs again as graphics cards are now more readily available at reasonable prices. We saw very positive signs during Amazon Prime week, with component activity significantly higher than in 2021, both in Europe as well as in the United States. While we are disappointed with the lower results in Q2, we are very pleased to see positive market activity recently and with our channel inventory moving back into line during Q2 and Q3 2022, we expect demand for our products to recover well as we finish the year and look forward to an exciting 2023.”

Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer of Corsair, stated, “We have already taken actions to adjust to the lower revenue level in the first half of 2022 and our expectations for the remainder of the year. We have proactively taken actions to reduce operating expenses and we have adjusted product ordering and took a $19.5 million reserve against potential inventory overhangs. We believe our business fundamentals remain strong with a positive long-term outlook, and we continue to believe the self-built gaming PC market will begin to accelerate in the second half of 2022. Despite the headwinds we have been facing, we have continued to invest in product development and have and will continue to release innovative and what we believe to be industry leading products.”

Financial Outlook

For the full year 2022, we currently expect:

• Net revenue to be in the range of $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion.
• Adjusted operating income to be in the range of $35 million to $50 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $50 million to $65 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, depreciation and amortization, inventory write-down charges 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.

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.

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, adjusted net income, adjusted net income 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, adjusted net income, adjusted net income 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 acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value, change in fair value of contingent consideration for business acquisitions, inventory impairment and related charges, stock-based compensation, amortization, certain acquisition-related and integration-related expenses, restructuring costs, non-deferred secondary offering costs, and debt modification costs.
• Adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP, is determined by adding back to GAAP net income (loss) the acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value, change in fair value of contingent consideration for business acquisitions, inventory impairment and related charges, stock-based compensation, amortization, certain acquisition-related and integration-related expenses, restructuring costs, non-deferred secondary offering costs, debt modification costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, 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 acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value, change in fair value of contingent consideration for business acquisitions, inventory impairment and related charges, stock-based compensation, certain acquisition-related and integration-related expenses, restructuring costs, non-deferred secondary offering costs, debt modification costs, amortization, depreciation, interest expense (including loss on extinguishment of debt) and tax expense (benefit).

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.
