"As indicated in our recent pre-announcement, our 2020 sales and adjusted EBITDA were the highest in our company's history," said Juergen Stark, Chairman and CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. "A great portfolio of products and our leading brand combined with excellent operational execution enabled us to outpace the rest of the console headset market as that market experienced significant growth from both existing and new gamers last year. That plus more than doubling our ROCCAT PC accessories business both through expansion of the portfolio and further development of that brand enabled us to deliver record results.
"While the gaming accessories market may slow a bit in 2021 because of how strong growth was in 2020, we expect that our continued growth in PC accessories, as well as entry into new categories will allow us to grow revenues to record levels in 2021. And we plan to continue to invest in product and brand development throughout 2021 to position ourselves for continued growth and further expand our leadership position in gaming accessories."

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 the investment of undue time, cost and other resources because we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty as a result of the variability, complexity, and lack of visibility with respect to 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 other income (expense), provision for income taxes and stock-based compensation and other items. The unavailable information could be material to the Company's actual results for such periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to its reported results, the Company has included in this earnings release certain financial results, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and constant currency revenue that the Securities and Exchange Commission defines as "non-GAAP financial measures." Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period-to-period comparisons of the Company's results. "Adjusted Net Income" is defined as net income excluding (i) integration and transaction costs related to acquisitions, (ii) the effect of the mark-to-market requirement of the financial instrument obligation, (iii) any change in fair value of contingent consideration and (iv) the release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation (non-cash), and certain non-recurring items that we believe are not representative of core operations (e.g., the integration and transaction costs related to the ROCCAT acquisition, the mark-to-market adjustment for the financial instrument obligation and the change in fair value of contingent consideration). "Constant currency revenue" is defined by the Company as revenue excluding the impacts of fluctuations in exchange rates from prior periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's operating performance, to perform financial planning, and to determine incentive compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors. The presented non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that management does not believe reflect the Company's core operating performance because such items are inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash. See a reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA included below for each of the three months and years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
