This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) that reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are included throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and relate to matters such as our industry, business strategy, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. We have used the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foreseeable,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “will” and similar terms and phrases or the negatives of these words to identify the forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional or local economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including uncertainties in the geopolitical environment, recent changes in trade regulations and tariffs, and developments in international trade relations and agreements. We believe that these factors include but are not limited to those described under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and under Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as well as other documents that may be filed by us from time to time with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business
Corsair Gaming, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Corsair” the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), is a global provider and innovator of high-performance products for gamers and digital creators, many of which build their own PCs using our components.
Corsair is organized into
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Part II, Item 8, Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies”, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, combined or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 and our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corsair and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated entities where we own less than 100% of the equity, our consolidated net comprehensive income (loss) is reduced by the portion attributable to the noncontrolling interest. The ownership interest of other investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In determining whether an entity is considered a controlled entity, we apply the VIE (variable interest entity) and VOE (voting interest entity) models. Entities that do not qualify as a VIE are assessed for consolidation under the VOE model. Under the VOE model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of greater than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the entity and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of intangible assets, accounts receivable, sales return reserves, reserves for customer incentives, warranty reserves, inventory, derivative instruments, stock-based compensation, deferred income tax, and uncertain tax positions. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the potential impacts from the events in the current economic and geopolitical environment. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The extent to which current macroeconomic conditions, including recent changes in trade regulations and tariffs, as well as developments in international trade regulations and agreements and continued geopolitical unrest will impact our business going forward depends on numerous dynamic factors that we cannot reliably predict. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure. This ASU updates the reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income tax paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will result in additional required disclosures in our consolidated financial statements, when adopted. We expect to adopt this ASU for the year ended December 31, 2025 and do not expect the adoption to have material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional disclosures about the nature of expenses included in the income statement, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation and depreciation. This ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ended December 31, 2027.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This ASU introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. The ASU is effective beginning in the first quarter of interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect the adoption to have material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We expect to adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Topic 350) - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments in this update improve the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect the adoption to have material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We expect to adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2028.

3. Derivative Financial Instruments
From time to time, we enter into derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other liabilities and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not designate such instruments as hedges for accounting purposes; accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized in each reporting period in other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do

4. Business Combination
Fanatec Acquisition
On September 13, 2024, one of our subsidiaries, Corsair GmbH (“GmbH”) executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) to purchase the business (the “Fanatec Business”) of Endor AG (“Endor”), which includes certain assets and all the personnel of Endor, as well as the equity interests of certain of Endor’s subsidiaries. Endor was a German public entity that created the leading end-to-end premium Fanatec sim racing product line. The Fanatec sim racing product line, which fully complements our sim racing chassis, gaming PCs, gaming and streaming peripherals, and monitors, has expanded our product offerings in these markets.
The Fanatec APA was consummated on September 19, 2024 (the “Fanatec Acquisition Date”) for a cash purchase consideration of approximately $
Prior to the Fanatec acquisition, another of our subsidiaries, Corsair Components Ltd (“CCL”), entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (“Bridge Loan”) in May 2024 and a Debtor-In-Possession Loan Agreement (“DIP Loan”) in September 2024 with Endor to provide short-term financing for Endor's operations in connection with our intent to acquire the Fanatec Business through a German restructuring process. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the total principal and interest owed by Endor to CCL as of the Fanatec Acquisition Date for the Bridge Loan and DIP Loan of approximately $
Because the Fanatec acquisition met the definition of a business, it has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Fanatec’s results of operations are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations with effect from September 19, 2024.
The final allocation of the Fanatec Acquisition purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, inclusive of measurement period adjustments, was as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of the working capital related items, as well as the fair value of property and equipment approximated their book values at the Fanatec Acquisition Date. The fair value of the inventories was estimated by major category, at an estimate of net realizable value, which we believe approximates the price a market participant could achieve in a current sale. As of September 30, 2025, the difference between the fair value of the inventories and the book value recorded on the Fanatec Acquisition Date was $

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants with which we must comply during the term of the agreement, which we believe are ordinary and standard for agreements of this nature, including the maintenance of a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (“CTNL Ratio”) and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (“CIC Ratio”) (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). According to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a maximum CTNL Ratio of
Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Amended and Credit Agreement and related ancillary documentation.

Legal Proceedings
We may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of business. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations, and the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and our view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. We expense legal fees as incurred and we record a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, we believe there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, or the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable.

Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms with respect to certain transactions. We have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require Corsair, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon Corsair to provide indemnification under such agreements, and thus, there are

In February 2025, we granted performance stock units (“PSU”) to certain members of our management team under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The vesting of PSUs is conditional upon the achievement of certain internal financial targets for the year ended December 31, 2025 and these will vest over a
We measure and recognize compensation for all stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and PSU, based upon the grant-date fair value of those awards. The grant-date fair value of our stock options and stock purchase rights is estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The fair value of our RSUs and PSUs are calculated based on the market value of our stock at the grant date.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. These foreign jurisdictions have statutory tax rates different from those in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to U.S. income, the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, changes in geographic mix of income and expense, changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets, and changes in tax laws.
Our effective tax rates were tax expense of (

We assess our deferred tax assets and liabilities to determine if it is more likely than not that they will be realized; if not, a valuation allowance is required to be recorded. Previously, in the third quarter of 2024, we reached a cumulative loss position over the previous three years, and with consideration of other negative evidence, we concluded that it is more likely than not that we will not realize our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. As a result of the foregoing, a full valuation allowance was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024. The deferred tax liability related to indefinite-lived assets was excluded from sources of future taxable income, as the timing of its reversal cannot be predicted due to the nature of its indefinite life.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. congressional reconciliation bill, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was signed into law, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions that may affect our financial results. The OBBB primarily makes permanent many of the tax provisions originally enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and introduces modifications to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions. The OBBB has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. As the OBBB Act was enacted during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company is required, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to record the effects of the new legislation in the period of enactment. We have completed a provisional analysis of the OBBB’s impact on our deferred tax assets and liabilities. As a result of the provisional analysis, the Company has concluded a U.S. taxable loss of $

Operating segments are based on components of a company that engage in business activity that earn revenue and incur expenses and (a) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resource allocation and performance and (b) for which discrete financial information is available. By this definition, we have identified our Chief Executive Officer as the CODM. We operate and report in

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as in conjunction with the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 26, 2025 and the Risk Factors set forth in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on May 7, 2025. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 or in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and below in Item 3,“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”.
Overview
We are a leading global provider and innovator of high-performance products for gamers and digital creators, such as streamers, vloggers and broadcasters, many of which build their own PCs using our components. Our industry-leading gaming products help digital athletes, from casual gamers to committed professionals, perform at their peak across PC or console platforms, and our streaming products enable creators, particularly streamers, to produce studio-quality content to share with friends or to broadcast to millions of fans. Our PC components products offer our customers multiple options to build their customized gaming and workstation desktop PCs. Our solution is the most complete suite of products that address the most critical components for both game performance and streaming. Our product offering is enhanced by our two proprietary software platforms: iCUE and our web-based Corsair Web Hub for gamers and the Elgato streaming suite for content creators, including our Stream Deck control software, which provide unified, intuitive performance, and aesthetic control and customization across their respective product families. We also offer digital services to enhance the customer experience by integrating esports, Elgato's marketplace, customer care and extended warranty into our product offerings.
We group our products into two categories (operating segments):
Summary of Financial Results
Our net revenue was $345.8 million and $304.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our gross margin was 26.9% and 22.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We had a net loss of $10.4 million and $51.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and restricted cash, in the aggregate of $66.1 million and the principal balance outstanding on our June 2030 Term Loan was $123.4 million. Cash generated from operations was $12.0 million and cash used in operations was $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Key Factors Affecting Our Business
Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by numerous factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as those described below.
Corsair Gaming, Inc. | Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 22
Table of Contents
Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions
Our business and financial performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions. We continue to face global macroeconomic challenges including evolving dynamics in the global trade environment and changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports or exports from or to countries where we manufacture or sell our products, inflationary trends, uncertainty in key financial markets, volatility in exchange rates and the risk of a recession. Other geopolitical concerns continue such as the effects of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the tensions in the Red Sea, and any potential conflicts between China and Taiwan, and the resulting supply chain constraints.
Since February 2025, the U.S. government has proposed and in certain cases implemented new, substantial tariffs on imports to the United States from various countries, including Taiwan, China and Vietnam, where we manufacture or source our products. These tariffs and any retaliatory actions from other countries have created a volatile environment for global trade. As a global company with a flexible and multi-location manufacturing base, we are actively working to mitigate the potential supply chain challenges. Our products are manufactured in several countries, including the United States, through a combination of our own factories and a network of reliable assembly subcontractors, and we have in the past demonstrated our ability to shift production locations with minimal disruptions to our business. During the first nine months of 2025, the impact of new tariffs on our business was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, there can be no assurances that we will continue to be successful in mitigating any negative impacts arising from the evolving global tariff landscape. We expect the global tariff environment to remain volatile throughout 2025, and we are actively monitoring developments in global tariffs and will continue to evaluate the potential impact on our business and financial condition, as well as on our suppliers, and the actions we may take to mitigate any impact. For our risk factor related to the impact of tariffs, see “Changes in trade policy and regulations in the United States and other countries, including changes in trade agreements and the imposition of tariffs, as well as retaliatory responses, may have adverse impacts on our business, results of operations and financial condition.” Under Part II Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
We also experience seasonality in the sale of our products, which may be affected by general economic conditions. The extent of the impact of macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical tensions on our business, sales, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are not within our control and are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. We will continue to evaluate these risks and uncertainties and further our mitigation plans.
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result of our foreign sales and operations, we have revenue, payroll and other operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies, in particular the Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan, and Taiwan Dollar. Unfavorable movement in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies we conduct sales or operate in may negatively impact our financial results.
Impact of Industry Trends
Our results of operations and financial condition are impacted by industry trends in the gaming market, including:
Corsair Gaming, Inc. | Q3 2025 Form 10-Q | 23
Table of Contents
Impact of Customer Concentration and Shipping Costs
We operate a global sales network that consists primarily of retailers (including e-retailers), as well as distributors we use to access certain retailers. Further, a limited number of retailers and distributors represent a significant portion of our net revenue, with e-retailer Amazon accounting for 29.3% and 31.5% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and sales to our ten largest customers accounting for approximately 50.4% and 53.4% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our customers, including Amazon, typically do not enter into long-term agreements to purchase our products but instead enter into purchase orders with us. As a result of this concentration and the lack of long-term agreements with our customers, a primary driver of our net revenue and operating performance is maintaining good relationships with these retailers and distributors. To help maintain good relationships, we implement initiatives such as our updated packaging design which helps e-retailers such as Amazon process our packages more efficiently. Further, given our global operations, a significant percentage of our expenses relate to shipping costs. Our ability to effectively optimize these shipping costs, for example utilizing expensive shipping options such as air freight for smaller packages and more urgent deliveries and more cost-efficient options, such as ground or ocean freight, for other shipments, has an impact on our expenses and results of operations.
Impact of New Product Introductions
Gamers demand new technology and product features, and we expect our ability to accurately anticipate and meet these demands will be one of the main drivers for any future sales growth and market share expansion. We believe our net revenue for 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was favorably impacted by the release of 78 and 80 new products, respectively. While we intend to continue to develop and release new products, there can be no assurance that our new product introductions will have a favorable impact on our operating results or that customers will choose our new products over those of our competitors.
Impact of Seasonal Sales Trends
We have experienced and expect to continue to experience seasonal fluctuations in sales due to the buying patterns of our customers and spending patterns of gamers. Our net revenue has generally been lower in the first half of the year due to lower consumer demand following the fourth quarter holiday season and because of the decline in sales that typically occurs in anticipation of the introduction of new or enhanced CPUs, GPUs, and other computer hardware products. Further, our net revenue tends to be higher in the second half of the year due to seasonal sales such as “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” as well as “Singles Day” in China, as retailers tend to make purchases in advance of these sales. Our sales also tend to be higher in the fourth quarter due to the release of high-profile games, including the annual release of popular gaming franchises in connection with the holiday season. As a consequence of seasonality, our net revenue for the second calendar quarter is generally the lowest of the year. Historical seasonal patterns may not continue in the future and may be further impacted in the future by macroeconomic factors, including trade policy and tariffs, increasing supply constraints, GPU shortages, and shifts in customer behavior.
Impact of Product Mix
Our Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment has a higher gross margin than our Gaming Components and Systems segment. As a result, our overall gross margin is affected by changes in product mix. External factors can have an impact on our product mix, such as popular game releases that can increase sales of peripherals and availability of new CPUs and GPUs that can impact component sales. In addition, within our Gamer and Creator Peripherals and Gaming Components and Systems segments, gross margin varies between products, and significant shifts in product mix within either segment may also significantly impact our overall gross margin.

Impact of Fluctuations in Integrated Circuits Pricing
Integrated circuits, or ICs, account for most of the cost of producing our high-performance memory products. IC prices are subject to pricing fluctuations, which can affect the average sales prices of memory modules, and thus impact our net revenue, and can have an effect on gross margins. The impact on net revenues can be significant as our high-performance memory products, included within our Gaming Components and Systems segment, represent a significant portion of our net revenue.

SG&A expenses increased by $8.0 million, or 10.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period last year primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in marketing and advertising costs, a $3.0 million increase in personnel-related cost, a $2.5 million increase in distribution costs from higher sales volume, and a $2.0 million increase in facilities and maintenance expense. These increases were partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in stock-based compensation, and a $1.4 million decrease in legal and other professional service expenses.
SG&A expenses increased by $29.6 million, or 13.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period last year primarily due to a $10.5 million increase in distribution costs from higher sales volume, a $9.4 million increase in marketing and advertising costs, a $6.5 million increase in personnel-related cost, a $3.4 million increase in facilities and maintenance expense, a $3.0 million increase in provision for doubtful accounts, and a $1.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a $6.8 million decrease in legal and other professional service expenses, mainly due to the one-time legal settlement cost that was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included a $2.6 million reversal of bargain purchase gain from the Fanatec Acquisition that was recognized in the prior year. The remainder of other expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was primarily comprised of foreign exchange gains and losses on cash, accounts receivable and intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of our subsidiaries. Our foreign currency exposure was primarily driven by fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro, British Pound, and Taiwan Dollar.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. These foreign jurisdictions have statutory tax rates different from those in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to U.S. income, the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, changes in geographic mix of income and expense, changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets, and changes in tax laws.
Our effective tax rates were tax expense of (25.0)% and (110.0)% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in our effective rate in the three-month period was primarily due to an income tax provision of $28.0 million for valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in the three months of September 30, 2024, as well as a change in the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate.
Our effective tax rates were tax expense of (10.1)% and (32.7)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in our effective rate in the nine-month period was primarily due to an income tax provision of $28.0 million for valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in the nine months of September 30, 2024, as well as a change in the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate.
We assess our deferred tax assets and liabilities to determine if it is more likely than not that they will be realized; if not, a valuation allowance is required to be recorded. Previously, in the third quarter of 2024, we reached a cumulative loss position over the previous three years, and with consideration of other negative evidence, we concluded that it is more likely than not that we will not realize our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized. As a result of the foregoing, a full valuation allowance was recorded in 2024. The deferred tax liability related to indefinite-lived assets was excluded from sources of future taxable income, as the timing of its reversal cannot be predicted due to the nature of its indefinite life.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. congressional reconciliation bill, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was signed into law, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions that may affect our financial results. The OBBB primarily makes permanent many of the tax provisions originally enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and introduces modifications to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions. The OBBB has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. As the OBBB Act was enacted during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company is required, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to record the effects of the new legislation in the period of enactment. We have completed a provisional analysis of the OBBB’s impact on our deferred tax assets and liabilities. As a result of the provisional analysis, the Company has concluded a U.S. taxable loss of $45 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the reinstatement of the immediate expensing of research and experimental costs; however, there is no net impact to our tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to our current U.S valuation allowance position.

Gamer and Creator Peripherals Segment
The gross margin of the Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment increased by 100 bps for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to a 240 bps increase from an improved product mix and the inclusion of post-acquisition revenue from our September 2024 Fanatec Acquisition, and a 200 bps increase from lower inventory reserves. These increases were partially offset by a 140 bps decrease from higher return and rework costs, a 130 bps decrease from higher tariff costs, and a 90 bps decrease from lower factory utilization.
The gross margin of the Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment increased by 130 bps for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period last year primarily attributable to an improved product mix and the inclusion of post-acquisition revenue from our September 2024 Fanatec Acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have financed our operations and acquisitions through cash from operations, and when necessary, through debt facilities and issuance of equity securities. As of September 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and restricted cash, in aggregate of $66.1 million, and our borrowing capacity under the June 2030 Revolving Facility (as defined under “Capital Resources” below) of $99.8 million.
Our principal uses of cash generally include purchases of inventory, payroll and other operating expenses related to the development and marketing of our products, capital expenditure, repayments of debt and related interest, income tax payments, future investments in business and technology, and selective mergers and acquisitions.
We believe that the anticipated cash flows from operations based on our current business outlook, combined with our current levels of cash balances at September 30, 2025, supplemented with the borrowing capacity under our June 2030 Revolving Facility, if and as needed, will be sufficient to fund our principal uses of cash for at least the next twelve months. In the longer term, liquidity will depend to a great extent on our future revenues and our ability to appropriately manage our costs based on the demand for our products. We may require additional funding and need or choose to raise the required funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $12.0 million and consisted of a net inflow from non-cash adjustments of $68.3 million and was partially offset by a net loss of $41.0 million and a net cash outflow of $15.3 million from changes in our net operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of amortization of intangibles, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, provision for doubtful accounts, and the reversal of the Fanatec Acquisition bargain purchase gain previously recognized in the year ended December 31, 2024. The net cash outflow from changes in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to higher inventory purchases as we prepare for year-end sales, as well as a decrease in other liabilities and accrued expenses primarily due to a reduction in the accruals for operating expenses and accruals for customer incentives programs and sales returns with lower revenues. These net cash outflow were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable due to an increase in inventory purchases and the timing of payments, as well as a decrease in accounts receivable from lower revenue.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $19.7 million and consisted of a net loss of $86.1 million and a net cash outflow of $10.3 million from changes in our net operating assets and

liabilities, offset partially by non-cash adjustments of $76.8 million. The net cash outflow from changes in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to a decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payments and a decrease in other liabilities and accrued expenses mainly due to a reduction in the accruals needed for sales returns and customer incentives with lower revenues, and lower bonus, as well as an increase in inventories as we prepared for year-end sales. These net cash outflows were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable from lower revenue. The non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of amortization of intangibles, depreciation and stock-based compensation expense, as well as changes in deferred income taxes.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 for capital expenditure.
Cash used in investing activities was $50.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and primarily consisted of $43.1 million cash used for the Fanatec Acquisition (refer to Note 4, “Business Combinations” for more information on the Fanatec Acquisition), $8.4 million of capital expenditure, partially offset by $1.0 million cash received from escrow for the purchase price adjustment related to the Drop Acquisition.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $47.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and consisted of $51.3 million repayment of debt and debt issuance costs, $1.1 million payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards, and $0.5 million payment of dividends to noncontrolling interest, partially offset by $5.5 million proceeds received from the issuance of shares through the employee equity incentive plans.
Cash used in financing activities was $46.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and primarily consisted of $21.3 million repayment of debt, $19.8 million purchase of additional ownership interest in iDisplay (refer to Note 14, "Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest" for more information on the additional ownership interest purchase), $4.9 million settlement of deferred consideration related to a prior business acquisition in 2019, $5.2 million payment of dividends to noncontrolling interest, and $0.6 million payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards, partially offset by $5.1 million proceeds received from the issuance of shares through the employee equity incentive plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we borrowed $21.5 million from our Revolving Facility to fund our operations and the full amount was repaid within the same period.
Capital Resources
On September 3, 2021, we refinanced our First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a new Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. The Credit Agreement provided for a $100.0 million five-year revolving credit facility maturing in September 2026 (the “September 2026 Revolving Facility”) and a $250.0 million five-year term loan facility maturing in September 2026 (the “September 2026 Term Loan”). The Credit Agreement also permitted, subject to conditions stated therein, additional incremental facilities in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250.0 million. Prepayment of the September 2026 Term Loan and the September 2026 Revolving Facility was permitted at any time without premium or penalty. We prepaid $42.8 million and $12.5 million of the September 2026 Term Loan principal in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and in the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
On June 30, 2025, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. to refinance the Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for total commitments of $225.0 million, consisting of a $100.0 million five-year revolving credit facility maturing on June 30, 2030 (the “June 2030 Revolving Facility”) and a $125.0 million five-year term loan facility maturing on June 30, 2030 (the “June 2030 Term Loan”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also permits, subject to conditions stated therein, additional incremental facilities in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $125.0 million. On June 30, 2025, the outstanding balance of the September 2026 Term Loan under the Credit Agreement of $125.0 million was carried over to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and will be repayable according to the new payment schedule under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has a variable rate structure. According to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the June 2030 Term Loan and June 2030 Revolving Facility each bears interest at our election, at either (a) term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%) based on our total net leverage ratio or (b) the base rate (as described in the Restated Credit Agreement as

Table of Contents
the greatest of (i) Bank of America’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month term SOFR plus 1.0%) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%) based on the our total net leverage ratio.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $3.7 million in non-current income tax payable, including interest and penalties, related to our income tax liability for uncertain tax positions. At this time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments in individual years in connection with these tax liabilities; therefore, such amounts are not included in the contractual cash obligation table above.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that has both a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations and requires us to make difficult, complex and/or subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be applicable and evaluate them on an ongoing basis to ensure they remain reasonable under current conditions. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates, which could have a material impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recent accounting pronouncements adopted and to be adopted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and restricted cash of $66.1 million, which consisted primarily of bank deposits. Our cash is held for working capital purposes.
As of September 30, 2025, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we had $123.4 million (face value) outstanding on the June 2030 Term Loan which bears interest at variable market rates, primarily SOFR. A significant change in these market rates may adversely affect our operating results. As of September 30, 2025, a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a change to the annual interest expense by approximately $1.2 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
Approximately 20.2% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Euro, and to a lesser extent, the British Pound. Any unfavorable movement in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and the currencies in which we conduct sales in foreign countries could have an adverse impact on our net revenue and gross margins as we may have to adjust local currency product pricing due to competitive pressures if there is significant volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, which are primarily in the United States, Europe, Taiwan, and China. Our operating results and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
We enter into forward currency contracts to reduce the short-term effects of currency fluctuations on Euro and British Pound denominated cash, accounts receivable, and intercompany receivable and payable balances. These forward contracts generally mature within two to four months, and we do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for trading purposes. The outstanding notional principal amount was $24.3 million and $35.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The gains or losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings based on the changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts.
The net impact of changes in foreign currency rates, including the net gains or (losses) on the forward currency contracts, recognized in other expense, net was $(4.3) million and $(1.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A hypothetical ten percent change in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar would increase or decrease our gains or losses on foreign currency exchange of approximately $0.3 million in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but there can be no assurance that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We may from time to time be involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of our business. Although the outcome of any pending matters, and the amount, if any, of our ultimate liability and any other forms of remedies with respect to these matters, cannot be determined or predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 the risk factors that materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The risks that we describe in our public filings are not the only risks we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely effect on our business, financial condition and/or future operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
(a) None.
(b) None.
(c)
The number of shares of common stock subject to RSUs previously granted to Mr. Potter (the “RSU Shares”) to be sold pursuant to the Trading Plan vest at various dates between July 2, 2023 and August 18, 2026. As a result, the aggregate number of RSU Shares that will be sold under the Trading Plan is not yet determinable, because each of the planned sale amounts is equal to a certain percentage of the shares underlying the RSU award, that have vested pursuant to the RSU award terms, net of shares sold to satisfy tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the vesting and settlement of such RSU awards.
