GOPRO ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2014 RESULTS


Second Quarter Revenue up 38% vs Q2 2013


Reaches Major Milestone in July Shipping the 10 Millionth Cumulative Capture Device


SAN MATEO, Calif., July 31, 2014 - GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO), maker of one of the world's most versatile cameras and enabler of some of today's most engaging content, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2014.


Revenue in the second quarter of 2014 was $244.6 million, up 38.1% compared to the $177.1 million reported in the second quarter of 2013. Second quarter 2014 revenue increased 3.8% compared to $235.7 million reported in the first quarter of 2014.


“We delivered a strong quarter of operating results driven by increased demand for our Hero 3+ Black Edition and demand for our accessory products,” said Nicholas Woodman, CEO of GoPro. “We are seeing a tremendous volume of quality content generated by our users and a 200% year over year increase in video views on YouTube, which is fueling our virtuous cycle whereby viewership of GoPro content drives sales. Our second quarter performance demonstrates our users’ continued passion for GoPro’s products, content and brand.”


GoPro reports gross profit, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share in accordance with GAAP and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP net income excludes, where applicable, the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the tax impact of these excluded items. A reconciliation of preliminary GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as a description of items excluded in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures, is presented in the financial statement portion of this release.
Non-GAAP gross margin in the second quarter of 2014 was 42.2%, compared to 32.3% in the second quarter of 2013 and 41.1% in the first quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2014 was $17.8 million, compared to an operating loss of ($3.2) million in the second quarter of 2013 and operating income of $20.9 million in the first quarter of 2014.
Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2014 was $11.8 million or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($3.2) million or ($0.03) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 and net income of $14.3 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2014.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), GoPro recorded a net loss attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2014 of $(19.8) million or $(0.24) per diluted share. This compares to a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(5.1) million or $(0.06) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 and GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2014 of $8.5 million or $0.08 per diluted share.
Second quarter GAAP gross margin was 42.1%, compared to gross margin of 32.1% in the second quarter of 2013 and 40.9% in the first quarter of 2014. Second quarter GAAP operating loss was ($16.7) million, compared to an operating loss of ($6.0) million in the second quarter of 2013 and operating income of $16.6 million in the first quarter of 2014.
