Based on preliminary unaudited information, Turtle Beach expects to report third quarter 2018 net revenue ranging between $73 and $74 million (prior guidance of approximately $65 million), up 103%-106% compared to $36.0 million in the third quarter of 2017.
Net income in the third quarter of 2018 is expected to range between $0.74 and $0.78 per share (prior guidance of approximately $0.44 per share), an improvement over the $(0.04) per share reported in the third quarter of 2017. This assumes 16.2 million weighted average shares outstanding during the third quarter. Actual EPS could be higher by as much as $0.10 depending upon final determination of certain tax treatments for the quarter.
The Company expects adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2018 to be approximately $17 million (prior guidance of approximately $11 million), more than five-fold the $3.3 million reported in the third quarter of 2017.
The Company plans to update its fourth quarter and full year outlook on the third quarter 2018 earnings call but expects the full year outlook to increase by at least the amount by which the third quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA exceeded the Company's prior guidance.
"The momentum we built in the first half of the year continued through the third quarter, further extending our record financial results," said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. "The strong increase in demand for gaming headsets that occurred with the rise of the 'battle royale' genre has continued, drawing new gamers into the market, leading veteran gamers to upgrade their gear, and increasing the overall usage rate and installed base of gaming headsets. Exciting launches such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2, coming this month, should provide another set of high headset usage games.
"And given the fact that our surveys show gamers, on average, replace their headsets every 20 to 24 months, which we believe was driving the majority of the core headset market prior to the battle royale phenomenon, we anticipate that the increase in gaming headset users will be reflected in the market size going forward. We also expect to have once-again outpaced the overall market based on increased year-over-year share in Q3, further adding to our revenue and profit.
"Our product portfolio of great headsets for every level of gamer continues to perform well across the board. According to NPD, year-to-date through August, Turtle Beach sold more console video gaming headsets than any other competitor in any other calendar year since 2006. We expect our strong results to enable us to further reduce debt over time and fuel various long-term growth investments, which we will address on our upcoming third quarter call."
