SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

"GoPro has turned a corner, restoring growth and profitability to our business," said founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman. "We are dedicated to growing as an innovative company, while being a vigilant steward of shareholder capital."

"During the quarter we generated $47 million in cash and gross margins were 40 percent. Year-over-year, we grew revenue by 37 percent and dramatically reduced operating costs without impacting our product roadmap. We launched our premium-priced HERO6 Black with global on-shelf availability and strong critical acclaim. We are now focused on driving consumer demand to reach our goal of full-year double-digit revenue growth and non-GAAP profitability."

Recent GoPro Highlights:


    --  In the third quarter, GoPro achieved strong revenue growth, gross
        margins and adjusted EBITDA. Revenue was $330 million, up 37%
        year-over-year, gross margins were approximately 40%, and adjusted
        EBITDA was $36 million, up $109 million year-over-year.
    --  GoPro strengthened its balance sheet, generating $47 million in cash,
        ending the third quarter with a cash balance of $197 million.
    --  GAAP net income for the third quarter was approximately $15 million, or
        $0.10 per share -- a sharp improvement over a GAAP net loss of $104
        million in the third quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net income for the third
        quarter was $21 million, or $0.15 per share.
    --  Average sales price (ASP) increased by 22% year-over-year and 3%
        sequentially. Increased ASP was a primary contributor to stronger
        margins in the quarter and driven by the strong performance of the
        premium-priced HERO6.
    --  Quarterly operating expenses reached a 3-year low. GAAP operating
        expenses were down 6% sequentially and down 7% on a non-GAAP basis.
        GoPro is tracking toward a non-GAAP operating expense goal of less than
        $490 million in 2017 (or approximately $570 million of GAAP operating
        expenses), down over 30% year-over-year.
    --  HERO6 Black launched on September 28. Powered by GoPro's custom-designed
        GP1 processor, HERO6 achieves an entirely new level of performance
        including stunning 4K60 and 1080p240 video and the most advanced video
        stabilization ever achieved in a GoPro. HERO6 Black launched globally
        with strong sales execution and a 93% channel fill rate at retail.
    --  Prior to the HERO6 launch, HERO5 Black was the best-selling digital
        image camera in the U.S. for four straight quarters -- holding that
        chart position since its launch in 2016, according to The NPD Group's
        Retail Tracking Service.
    --  Fusion will begin shipping in November. Fusion is a 5.2K spherical
        camera which captures a 360-degree perspective, so users never miss a
        shot. With the GoPro App, Fusion users can share footage as VR content
        or, using the app's OverCapture(TM) feature, "punch out" a traditional
        fixed-perspective video or photo from any angle in the spherical shot.
        OverCapture is scheduled to launch in the GoPro App in January.
    --  GP1 processor maximizes GoPro's capabilities. The new chip enables twice
        the video frame rates, improved image quality, dynamic range, low-light
        performance and dramatically improved video stabilization over previous
        HERO camera generations. GP1 automatically enables vibrant videos and
        stunning photos without forcing users to manage complex image settings.
        GP1 also advances GoPro's capabilities in computer vision and machine
        learning, enabling HERO6 to analyze visual scenes and sensor data for
        improved image quality and automated QuikStories.
    --  GoPro achieved strong revenue growth across all key regions. Growth in
        the Americas was up 20% year-over-year. EMEA was up 26% year-over-year.
        APAC was up 153% year-over-year. More than 50% of GoPro's revenue was
        generated in markets outside of the U.S. in the third quarter.
    --  Strong momentum continues in key Asian markets. GoPro is seeing strong
        and sustained results in Asia. Sell-thru year-over-year unit growth in
        Japan was up over 99% and China was up 25%, according to GfK.
    --  GoPro's drone, Karma, was the #2 selling drone in the U.S. priced $1,000
        and above during the six months ending September 2017, according to the
        NPD Group's Retail Tracking Service.
    --  The Quik Mobile Video Editing App was installed 18 million times
        year-to-date. Third quarter monthly active users was up 30% sequentially
        and 155% year-over-year.
    --  GoPro gained more than 900,000 new social media followers in the third
        quarter. Instagram followers were up 30% year-over-year to more than 14
        million, with more than a 470,000 increase in international followers.
    --  GoPro content was viewed more than 550 million times in the first nine
        months of 2017, up more than 27% year-over-year. In the same period,
        GoPro content on YouTube saw an 85% increase in median organic
        viewership per video.
    --  GoPro added Golden State Warriors President and Chief Operating Officer
        Rick Welts to its Board of Directors.

GoPro, Inc.
Reconciliation of Preliminary GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA. We also provide forecasts of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor serve as an alternative for GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our GAAP results of operations. These non-GAAP measures should only be viewed in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures.

In calculating non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items to facilitate a review of the comparability of our core operating performance on a period-to-period basis. The excluded items represent stock-based compensation and other charges that we do not consider to be directly related to core operating performance. We use non-GAAP measures to evaluate the core operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans and for calculating return on investment. In addition, management's incentive compensation is determined using non-GAAP measures. Since we find these measures to be useful, we believe that investors benefit from seeing results reviewed by management in addition to seeing GAAP results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by facilitating:


    --  the comparability of our on-going operating results over the periods
        presented;
    --  the ability to identify trends in our underlying business; and
    --  the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models
        and operating results of other public companies that supplement their
        GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures.

The following are explanations of each type of adjustment that we incorporate into non-GAAP financial measures:


    --  Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity awards granted
        primarily to our workforce. We exclude stock-based compensation expense
        because we believe that the non-GAAP financial measures excluding this
        item provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operational
        performance. In particular, we note that companies calculate stock-based
        compensation expense for the variety of award types that they employ
        using different valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions.
        These non-cash charges are not factored into our internal evaluation of
        net income (loss) as we believe their inclusion would hinder our ability
        to assess core operational performance. We believe that excluding this
        expense provides greater visibility to the underlying performance of our
        business operations, facilitates comparison of our results with other
        periods, and may also facilitate comparison with the results of other
        companies in our industry.
    --  Acquisition-related costs include the amortization of acquired
        intangible assets (primarily consisting of acquired technology), the
        impairment of acquired intangible assets (if applicable), as well as
        third-party transaction costs incurred for legal and other professional
        services. These costs are not factored into our evaluation of potential
        acquisitions, or of our performance after completion of the
        acquisitions, because these costs are not related to our core operating
        performance or reflective of ongoing operating results in the period,
        and the frequency and amount of such costs are inconsistent and vary
        significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our acquisition
        transactions and the maturities of the businesses being acquired.
    --  Restructuring costs primarily include severance-related costs,
        stock-based compensation expenses and facilities consolidation charges
        recorded in connection with restructuring actions announced in the first
        and fourth quarters of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. We believe
        that excluding these costs provides greater visibility to the underlying
        performance of our business operations, facilitates comparison of our
        results with other periods, and may also facilitate comparison with the
        results of other companies in our industry.
    --  Non-cash interest expense. In connection with issuance of the
        Convertible Senior Notes in April 2017, we are required to recognize
        non-cash interest expense in accordance with the authoritative
        accounting guidance for convertible debt that may be settled in cash. We
        exclude this incremental non-cash interest expense for purposes of
        calculating non-GAAP net income (loss). We believe that excluding
        non-cash interest expense provides greater visibility to the underlying
        performance of our business operations, facilitates comparison of our
        results with other periods, and may also facilitate comparison with the
        results of other companies in our industry.
    --  Income tax adjustments. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, we have
        implemented a cash-based non-GAAP tax expense approach (based upon
        expected annual cash payments for income taxes) for evaluating operating
        performance as well as for planning and forecasting purposes. This
        non-GAAP tax approach eliminates the effects of period specific items,
        which can vary in size and frequency and does not necessarily reflect
        our long-term operations. Historically, we computed a non-GAAP tax rate
        based on non-GAAP pre-tax income on a quarterly basis, which considered
        the income tax effects of the adjustments above.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA excludes the amortization of point-of-purchase (POP)
        display assets because it is a non-cash charge, and is similar to the
        depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of acquired
        intangible assets.
