Fourth Quarter 2024 Select Financial Metrics

• Adjusted EBITDA was $33.1 million, compared to $33.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

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, “We closed on a strong note, exceeding Q4 expectations for revenue and adjusted EBITDA after a challenging year. Our higher margin Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment grew by 20% for the full year. Highlights of the growth came from the continued growing demand for our Stream Deck and other Elgato products, which are steadily gaining acceptance as standard peripherals for the desktops of younger generations. We continued to gain momentum with many positive product reviews and high-profile accolades on our recent new peripheral products. This included our K65 wireless keyboard winning best gaming keyboard at The New York Times’ WireCutter. Our K65 was also selected by Apple along with our M75 mouse as gaming peripherals for sale in their stores. Lastly, our newest acquisition, Fanatec had its first meaningful revenue in Q4. The gross profit from our Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment now exceeds the margins from our Gaming Components and Systems segment. We plan to drive continued organic growth combined with additional M&A activity in high value peripherals.”

“As expected, new GPU cards were announced by Nvidia at CES in January. While we saw an increase in sales activity in December as enthusiasts started to plan new Gaming PC builds, we expect the real rebound of the component business will start in the first half of 2025 as these new GPU cards start to ship in volume.”

“The integration of our latest acquisition, Fanatec, is going well. Fanatec is widely recognized as the global leader in high end components for Sim Racing. Sales there have rebounded led by our commitment to product performance and customer support. We started shipments of our new Sim Racing chassis, the ClubSport GT, as well as our new flagship Bentley wheel. We see this category as high growth and expect to be shipping components and kits this year into retailers and integrators to gain incremental revenue and efficiencies over the historical direct to consumer model that was used at Fanatec before we acquired it.”

“Looking ahead, we’re very optimistic about the future, backed by our continued investments in innovation, strategic acquisitions, and market expansion. With the launch of new high-performance GPU cards, we expect 2025 to be a growth year for high end PC builds. We are now five years out from the COVID spending bulge, which creates a huge white space for upgrades. I’m confident that 2025 will mark the start of a new sustained growth phase for the company as we focus on building value for all shareholders. This is reflected in our outlook, which includes an over 60% increase in EBITDA at the midpoint of our annual guidance.”

Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer of Corsair, stated, “We ended the year in a strong financial position, with balanced inventory levels in both the channel and our warehouses. During 2024, we continued to reduce debt and completed two M&A transactions with the purchase of Fanatec and the increased investment into Elgato’s supply chain. We believe the better results in Q4 have positioned us to support healthier demand, further growth and debt reduction in 2025.”

Financial Outlook The full year 2025 outlook information provided below is based on Corsair’s current estimates and is not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below for information on the factors that could cause Corsair’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

For the full year 2025, Corsair expects revenue growth to improve through the coming year, with a further improvement in adjusted EBITDA led by an additional improvement in margin, and a rebound in demand for the Company’s high-performance gear for gamers, streamers, content-creators and gaming PC builders:

• Net revenue to be in the range of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion.
• Adjusted operating income to be in the range of $67 million to $87 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $80 million to $100 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, amortization, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains express and implied forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s financial outlook for the full year 2025; market headwinds and tailwinds, including its expectations regarding the gaming market’s continued growth; new product launches, the entry into new product categories and demand for new products; the Company’s ability to successfully close and integrate acquisitions and expectations regarding the growth of these acquisitions as well as their estimated impact on the Company’s financial results in future periods and the size of markets and segments in 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: the Company’s limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast the Company’s future results of operations; current macroeconomic conditions, including the impacts of high inflation and risk of recession, on demand for our products, consumer confidence and financial markets generally; the Company’s ability to build and maintain the strength of the Company’s brand among gaming and streaming enthusiasts and ability to continuously develop and successfully market new products and improvements to existing products; 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; fluctuations in operating results; the loss or inability to attract and retain key management; the impacts from geopolitical events and unrest; delays or disruptions at the Company or third-parties’ manufacturing and distribution facilities; and the other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and our subsequent filings with 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 ended December 31, 2024 are also not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods.

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 (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) 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 (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) 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 impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, one-time costs related to legal and other matters, acquisition and related integration costs, restructuring and other charges, and acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value.
• Adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP, excludes the impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, one-time costs related to legal and other matters, acquisition and related integration costs, restructuring and other charges, acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value and the bargain purchase gain on business acquisition, as well as 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 excludes the impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, one-time costs related to legal and other matters, depreciation, interest expense, net, acquisition and related integration costs, restructuring and other charges, acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value, and the bargain purchase gain on business acquisition, 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.
