Steep revenue drop pushes Turtle Beach (NASDAQ: TBCH) to Q1 2026 loss
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Turtle Beach Corporation reported a sharp downturn for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net revenue fell to $42.2 million from $63.9 million a year earlier as demand for gaming accessories softened amid macroeconomic pressures. Gross margin compressed to 26.8% from 36.6%, and the company swung to a net loss of $15.2 million, or $(0.78) per share, compared with a loss of $0.7 million, or $(0.03) per share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA declined to a loss of $6.5 million from positive $4.1 million, reflecting lower revenue and higher operating costs such as research and development and professional fees. Despite the loss, operating cash flow remained positive at $29.4 million, helped by significant reductions in accounts receivable and inventories, and the company ended the quarter with $12.3 million in cash.
Turtle Beach reduced net debt under its 2025 credit facility during the quarter and subsequently refinanced with an $85.0 million term loan and a new asset-based revolving credit facility maturing in 2029. The company continued its $75 million stock repurchase program, buying 161,815 shares for $2.2 million. Management disclosed that disclosure controls and procedures remained ineffective due to previously identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Revenue and profitability deterioration: Net revenue fell from $63.9 million to $42.2 million, gross margin dropped to 26.8% from 36.6%, Adjusted EBITDA swung from a $4.1 million gain to a $6.5 million loss, and net loss widened to $15.2 million, indicating materially weaker operating performance.
Insights
Revenue fell sharply, margins compressed, and earnings turned deeply negative, despite solid cash generation from working capital.
Turtle Beach saw net revenue drop from $63.9 million to $42.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by softer gaming accessory demand. Gross margin fell to 26.8% from 36.6%, reflecting weaker volumes and transition costs tied to relocating a third‑party logistics provider.
Operating performance deteriorated meaningfully: operating results moved from $1.5 million income to a $14.1 million loss, and Adjusted EBITDA swung from positive $4.1 million to a $6.5 million loss. Net loss widened to $15.2 million, while stock‑based compensation, professional fees, and higher R&D spending contributed to the decline.
Liquidity remained supported by $29.4 million of operating cash flow, largely from releasing working capital, and cash of $12.3 million. However, the subsequent $85.0 million term loan and new revolving credit facility increase reliance on secured debt. Continued internal control material weaknesses and ongoing IP litigation add risk, and sustained revenue recovery will be important to improve profitability under the new capital structure.

Turtle Beach Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business
Organization
Turtle Beach Corporation (“Turtle Beach” or the “Company”), develops and markets audio and gaming accessory products under the Turtle Beach® brand for use with video game and entertainment consoles, handheld consoles, personal computers (“PCs”), tablets, and mobile devices. The Company’s product offerings have expanded over time beyond gaming headsets to include gaming controllers, flight and racing simulation accessories, and PC keyboards and mice. The Company operates within the gaming accessories market and sells its products through a variety of retail, distribution, and ecommerce channels in the U.S. and international markets. The Company is headquartered in San Diego, California, and was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2010.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year.
The December 31, 2025 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2026 (“Annual Report”).
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report that contains information useful to understanding the Company’s businesses and financial statement presentations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions used by management affect: sales return reserve, allowances for cash-based incentive programs, warranty reserve, valuation of inventory, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, probability of performance shares vesting and forfeiture rates utilized in issuing stock-based compensation awards. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates, and those differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 2 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of investments in cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company is exposed to credit risk and liquidity risk in the event of default by the financial
7
institutions or issuers of investments in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure with any institution.
Accounts receivable are unsecured and represent amounts due based on contractual obligations of customers.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Adopted
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient and accounting policy election which will result in reduced complexity for the measurement of credit losses arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which include current contract assets and current contract receivable. Specifically, the practical expedient permits entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset, and the accounting policy election permits an entity other than a public business entity to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses. Entities electing to apply the practical expedient and the accounting policy election, if applicable, should apply the amendments prospectively. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Update (“ASUs”). ASUs not referenced below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve disclosures related to certain income statement expenses of the Company. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which modernizes and simplifies the accounting costs incurred to develop or acquire internal use software costs. The update eliminates the legacy three-stage waterfall model - preliminary, application development, and post-implementation. Under the new standard, capitalization begins when management authorizes and commits funding for the project and completion is probable, aligning better with agile and iterative development practices. The types of costs eligible remain unchanged, and the update does not affect accounting for software developed for sale

or licensing. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard and does not expect that it will have a material impact on its disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies that all entities issuing interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP must follow ASC 270. The update requires interim financial statements to include a full set of financial information (or condensed versions with clarified format), mandates disclosure of material events since year-end, and provides a consolidated list of required interim disclosures. This ASU will be effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard and does not expect that it will have a material impact on its disclosures.
Note 3. Fair Value Measurement
The Company follows a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the revolving line of credit. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has not elected the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities for which such an election would have been permitted.
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, which is classified as Level 1, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

2025 Credit Facility
On August 1, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, as the administrative agent, the swingline lender and the line of credit issuer (the “2025 Credit Facility”). The 2025 Credit Facility, was to mature on
Borrowings under the 2025 Credit Facility bore interest at a rate that varied depending on the type of loan and the borrower. The interest rate was calculated using a floating rate plus a margin. Depending on the type of loan, the floating rate was either the prime rate announced by Bank of America, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) or the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate (“SONIA”). The margin ranges from
The 2025 Credit Facility required the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio, determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its subsidiaries for the applicable measurement period, of (a) EBITDA minus unfinanced capital expenditures and cash taxes paid for such period to (b) consolidated interest charges for such period plus principal payments or redemptions of outstanding debt plus certain restricted payments and (ii) maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, defined as the ratio, determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its subsidiaries for the applicable measurement period, of (a) certain funded indebtedness minus unrestricted cash up to a maximum of $

The 2025 Credit Facility also contained affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limited our ability to take certain actions, including our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and repurchase stock, make certain investments and other payments, enter into certain mergers and consolidations, engage in sale leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates, and encumber and dispose of assets. The 2025 Credit Facility contained customary events of default, including defaults triggered by the failure to make payments when due, breaches of covenants and representations, material impairment in the perfection of the lenders’ security interest in the collateral, and events related to bankruptcy and insolvency of the Company and its subsidiaries. To secure their obligations under the 2025 Credit Facility, the Company and each of the other loan parties granted an all-assets lien with a first priority security interest in substantially all of their assets to the administrative agent.
As part of the 2025 Credit Facility, the Company recorded an aggregate amount of deferred debt financing costs of $
On April 30, 2026, the Company repaid in full the amount then-outstanding under the 2025 Credit Facility in connection with the 2026 Term Loan Facility, as defined and described below. Refer to Note 12 Subsequent Event for further details on the 2026 Term Loan Facility.

Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these actions cannot be determined with certainty, in the Company’s opinion, any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity.
Intellectual Property Dispute: On May 28, 2025, PDP filed an action for declaratory judgment of non-infringement of four patents purportedly owned by OKYN Holdings, Inc., d/b/a Nyko Technologies (“Nyko”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Nyko had written to PDP on October 31, 2024 asserting that PDP’s Ultra Slim Charge System for PlayStation 4 (“Ultra Slim”) infringed those patents. Nyko has responded to PDP’s complaint and filed counterclaims for patent infringement by the Ultra Slim. On June 12, 2025, Nyko filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of California asserting that PDP and Turtle Beach Corporation (“TBC”) infringed the same four patents at issue in the declaratory judgment action filed by PDP. On July 8, 2025, PDP and TBC moved to dismiss Nyko’s complaint. On March 25, 2026, the Court partially granted that motion, dismissed TBC, and consolidated the two actions. On April 16, 2026, Nyko filed a First Amended Complaint that again alleged infringement by TBC and PDP. PDP and TBC’s responses to that Complaint have not yet been filed. On September 30, 2025, PDP moved for judgment on the pleadings on multiple aspects of Nyko’s counterclaims and that motion is pending.
Intellectual Property Dispute: On October 3, 2025, Robert Lyden, an individual, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against PDP, Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc. (“VTB”), and the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, asserting infringement of one patent by the Victrix™ Pro BFG™ Wireless Controller and Victrix™ Gambit Wireless Controller. On December 16, 2025, PDP, VTB and the Company moved to dismiss the complaint for improper venue. On March 19, 2026, the Court granted that motion and transferred the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California where it is now pending.
The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself in the foregoing unresolved matters. However, litigation and investigations are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters. The Company has not recorded any accrual at March 31, 2026 for contingent losses associated with these matters unless otherwise disclosed above based on its belief that losses, while possible, are not probable. Further, any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The unfavorable resolution of these
13
matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The Company is engaged in other legal actions, not described above, arising in the ordinary course of its business and, while there can be no assurance, believes that the ultimate outcome of these other legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
Product Warranties
The Company warrants its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. These product warranties are provided for specific periods of time depending on the nature of the product. Warranties are generally fulfilled by replacing defective products with new products.

Indemnifications
The Company indemnifies certain suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes and
product safety defects, subject to certain restrictions. The scope of these indemnities varies, but in some instances includes indemnification for
damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. As of March 31, 2026, no material amounts have been accrued for indemnification provisions. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under its indemnification arrangements.
The Company also indemnifies its current and former directors and certain current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing
such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum
amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these exposures are not capped, the obligations are conditional in nature, and
the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable.

A nominal provision for income taxes was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as there were no material changes in the Company’s income tax positions, estimates, or circumstances that would require recognition of a current or deferred tax expense or benefit. The Company’s income tax positions, including the assessment of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, remain consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of valuation allowances, and will update its estimates as appropriate in future periods.
The Company recognizes only those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and establishes tax reserves for uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold. Interest and penalties associated with income tax matters are included in the provision for income taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had uncertain tax positions of $
As required by the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, the Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis at each reporting date. Accounting for income taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely
14
than not that all or a portion of the deferred taxes will not be realized. The Company considers all positive and negative evidence in determining if, based on the weight of such evidence, a valuation allowance is required. In circumstances where there is sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred tax assets are not more likely than not realizable, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. Due to the significant 2022 pre-tax loss, coupled with cumulative book losses, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its net U.S. deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022. The Company continues to maintain this valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company will continue to evaluate all available positive and negative evidence in future periods to assess the realizability of its deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Should facts and circumstances change, the Company may adjust its valuation allowance and record income tax expense or benefit in future periods.
The Company is subject to income taxes domestically and in various foreign jurisdictions. The Company files U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with various statutes of limitations. The federal tax years open under the statute of limitations are 2022 through 2024, and the state tax years open under the statute of limitations are 2022 through 2024, and the foreign tax years open under the statute of limitations are 2022 through 2024.

Incremental shares from stock options and restricted stock are computed by the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method calculates dilution assuming the exercise of all in-the-money options and vesting of restricted stock, reduced by the repurchase of shares with the proceeds from the assumed exercises and unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding awards and the estimated tax benefit of the assumed exercises.
The weighted average shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or were otherwise excluded under the treasury stock method:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our operations and financial condition of Turtle Beach Corporation ("we," "us," "our," the "Company," "Turtle Beach") should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2026 (the “Annual Report.”)

Overview
We are a premier audio and gaming technology company with expertise and experience in developing, commercializing, and marketing innovative products across a range of large addressable markets under our brand, Turtle Beach. The Turtle Beach® brand is a market share leader in console gaming headsets for over 16 years running with a vast portfolio of headsets designed to be multiplatform compatible with the latest Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo consoles, as well as for PCs and mobile and tablet devices. Our PC product portfolio includes PC gaming headsets, keyboards, mice, microphones and other PC gaming peripherals and in 2021 we expanded our brand beyond gaming headsets and launched our gaming controller product line, as well as, flight simulation and racing simulation accessories. In 2024, we acquired PDP, another leading gaming accessory brand with a robust slate of products, including gaming controllers for all major platforms and licensing deals with popular gaming and entertainment properties. We are headquartered in San Diego, California, and were incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2010.
Business Trends
We operate in a nearly $200.0 billion global games and accessories market, according to Newzoo Peripheral Market Forecast. The global gaming audience now exceeds global cinema and music markets with over 3.5 billion active gamers worldwide. Gaming peripherals, such as headsets, controllers, keyboards, mice, microphones, and flight and racing simulation controls are estimated to be an $11.2 billion business globally.
The console and PC gaming accessory markets are also driven by major game launches and long-running franchises that encourage players to continually buy equipment and accessories. On Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC, flagship games like Call of Duty, Destiny, Star Wars: Battlefront, Grand Theft Auto, Battlefield, and battle royale games like Fortnite, Call of Duty Warzone, Apex Legends, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, are examples of major franchises that prominently feature online multiplayer modes that promote player-to-player communication and drive increased demand for gaming headsets, controllers, and more. Many of these established franchises launch new titles annually, leading into the holidays and beyond, and as a result can cause an additional boost to the normally strong holiday sales for gaming accessories.
Additionally, some larger franchise games, for example Call of Duty and Fortnite, follow-up with multiple post-launch downloadable content or new content update packs, to keep interest and fan engagement/momentum going for months following a game’s initial release. Many gamers play online where a gaming headset, which includes a microphone, is required because it allows players to communicate with each other in real-time, provides a more immersive experience, and delivers a competitive advantage.
Further, June 2025 saw the launch of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 game system in the U.S., which debuted as the fastest-selling video game console launch of all time, with the largest launch month sales for any new gaming platform.
Tariffs Update
Beginning in 2025, the U.S. implemented a broad-based tariff framework applicable to most imports, with higher country- and product-specific rates imposed on certain trading partners, including Mexico, Germany, and China among others. Certain foreign jurisdictions also announced reciprocal measures. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers
20
Act (“IEEPA”) were unconstitutional. Following this decision, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to establish a process for issuing refunds related to these tariffs.
On April 20, 2026, CBP launched an online portal for the submission of IEEPA-related tariff refund requests. Submitted claims will be reviewed by CBP to determine eligibility prior to the issuance of any refunds. In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling, the U.S. implemented a new 10% tariff on all imports under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. These tariffs became effective on February 24, 2026, and are scheduled to remain in effect for up to 150 days, which is the maximum duration permitted under Section 122 without congressional authorization. Existing exclusions, including those related to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), remain in effect. As of March 31, 2026, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any impacts attributable to such refunds.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $42.2 million, a $21.7 million decrease from $63.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting softer market demand for gaming accessories driven primarily by macroeconomic challenges affecting consumer spending.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, gross margin decreased to 26.8% from 36.6% in the comparable prior year period primarily due to decline in net revenues relative to cost of goods sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, gross margin was adversely affected compared with the prior year quarter, driven in part by transition-related costs associated with the relocation of the Company's principal third-party logistics provider.

Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 1.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower employee compensation cost.
Research and Development
Research and development costs increased by $0.6 million or 14.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to engineering costs related to new products.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million or 3.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to professional services and fees.
Insurance recovery
Insurance recovery relates to the recognition of certain initial insurance claim receivables from the previously disclosed loss of inventory while in transit that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Acquisition-related cost
Acquisition-related costs include one-time costs incurred in connection with the PDP acquisition including professional fees such as legal and accounting along with other certain integration related costs.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased by $0.6 million or 31.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower interest costs associated with our refinancing in August 2025.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million at an effective tax rate of 0.8% compared to income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 at an effective tax rate of 14.1%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily impacted by the change in U.S. valuation allowance, foreign taxes and Federal and State current tax. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily impacted by the change in U.S. valuation allowance and foreign taxes.
Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management routinely reviews key performance indicators, including revenue, operating income and margins, and earnings per share, among others. In addition, we believe certain other measures provide useful information to management and investors about us and our financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) they are measures used by our Board and management team to evaluate our
22
operating performance; (ii) they are measures used by our management team to make day-to-day operating decisions; (iii) the adjustments made are often viewed as either non-recurring or not reflective of ongoing financial performance and/or have no cash impact on operations; and (iv) the measures are used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common operating performance measure to compare results across companies in our industry by adjusting for potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting relative interest expense), and the age and book value of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense). These other metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and given the limitations of these metrics as analytical tools, should not be considered a substitute for gross profit, gross margins, net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data as determined in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation (non-cash) and certain non-recurring special items that we believe are not representative of core operations, is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items or non-routine items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items that are not core to our operations. Further, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and, given the limitations of these metrics as analytical tools, should not be considered a substitute for gross profit, gross margin, net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data as determined in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA (and a reconciliation to Net loss, the nearest GAAP financial measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, are as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flows from Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $29.4 million, decrease of $11.1 million as compared to $40.5 million used for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to higher net loss of $14.5 million, paydown of accounts payable of $8.9 million and lower accounts receivable of $5.6 million. This was partially offset by $7.4 million of inventory sold, lower paydown of $5.4 million in other liabilities and lower prepaid expenses and other assets of $4.0 million.
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $40.5 million, an increase of $13.2 million as compared to $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to higher gross receipts as a result of incremental PDP revenue.
Cash Flows from Investing activities
Cash used for investing activities was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was primarily related to purchase of property and equipment of $0.3 million, compared to $2.3 million used for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily related to the acquisition of the PDP business.
Cash provided by investing activities was $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily related to a $2.5 million working capital adjustment payment, compared to $76.2 million used for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily related to the acquisition of the PDP business.
Cash Flows from Financing activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $33.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $44.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted primarily of $29.4 million repayment of revolving credit facility, $2.1 million term loan principal payment and $2.2 million repurchase of our common stock.
Net cash used for financing activities was $44.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $48.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of $42.8 million revolving credit facility net repayments, $1.8 million of share repurchases, and $0.3 million of term loan repayments.
Management assessment of liquidity
Management believes that our current cash and cash equivalents, the amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility and cash flows derived from operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated short-term and long-term funding for working capital and capital expenditures including amounts to develop new products, fund future stock repurchases and to pursue strategic opportunities. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements, or strategic opportunities that require additional capital.
24
In addition, the Company monitors the capital markets on an ongoing basis and may consider raising capital if favorable market conditions develop.
Foreign cash balances at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $6.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively.
2025 Credit Facility
On August 1, 2025, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into the 2025 Credit Facility. The 2025 Credit Facility was to mature on August 1, 2028 and included a $60 million term loan facility and a $90 million revolving credit facility with designated sub-facility limits of (i) $15 million for the U.K. Borrower, (ii) $10 million for a swingline facility and (iii) $5 million for letters of credit. Actual credit availability under the revolving facility was subject to a borrowing base limitation that was calculated based on a percentage of eligible trade accounts receivable and inventories, the balances of which fluctuate, and was subject to discretionary reserves and revaluation adjustments. The 2025 Credit Facility may have been used for borrowings as well as for the issuance of letters of credit, repaying existing indebtedness outstanding as of the effective date of the 2025 Credit Facility and ongoing working capital and general corporate purposes as defined by the Credit Agreement governing the 2025 Credit Facility. The 2025 Credit Facility replaced our previous debt arrangements at that time.
Borrowings under the 2025 Credit Facility bore interest at a rate that varied depending on the type of loan and the borrower. The interest rate was calculated using a floating rate plus a margin. Depending on the type of loan, the floating rate was either the prime rate announced by Bank of America, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, EURIBOR or SONIA. The margin will range from 2.00% to 2.75% for base rate loans and SONIA based loans and from 3.00% to 3.75% for Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR and EURIBOR loans. The 2025 Credit Facility also provided for an unused line fee, letter of credit fees, and agent fees. The borrowers were able to voluntarily prepay the principal of any advance, without penalty or premium, at any time in whole or in part, subject to certain breakage costs. As of March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided by the 2025 Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, interest rates for the term loan and revolving credit facilities under the 2025 Credit Facility were 7.02% and 0.00%, respectively.
The 2025 Credit Facility required us and our subsidiaries to (i) maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio, determined on a consolidated basis for us and our subsidiaries for the applicable measurement period, of (a) EBITDA minus unfinanced capital expenditures and cash taxes paid for such period to (b) consolidated interest charges for such period plus principal payments or redemptions of outstanding debt plus certain restricted payments and (ii) maintain a consolidated leverage ratio, defined as the ratio, determined on a consolidated basis for us and our subsidiaries for the applicable measurement period, of (a) certain funded indebtedness minus unrestricted cash up to a maximum of $12.0 million to (b) EBITDA.
The 2025 Credit Facility also contained affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limited our ability to take certain actions, including our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and repurchase stock, make certain investments and other payments, enter into certain mergers and consolidations, engage in sale leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates, and encumber and dispose of assets. The 2025 Credit Facility contained customary events of default, including defaults triggered by the failure to make payments when due, breaches of covenants and representations, material impairment in the perfection of the lenders’ security interest in the collateral, and events related to bankruptcy and insolvency of us and our subsidiaries. To secure their obligations under the 2025 Credit Facility, the Company and each of the other loan parties granted an all-assets lien with a first priority security interest in substantially all of their assets to the administrative agent.
As part of the Credit Agreement, we recorded deferred debt financing costs of $2.3 million.
On April 30, 2026, the Company repaid in full the amount then-outstanding under the 2025 Credit Facility in connection with the 2026 Credit Facility.
2026 Term Loan Facility
On April 30, 2026, we entered into the 2026 Term Loan Facility governed by the 2026 Term Loan Financing Agreement by and among us, VTB, as borrower, each of our subsidiaries listed as a guarantor on the signature pages thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Blue Torch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which Blue Torch made a loan to VTB in the aggregate amount of $85.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to or will be used to (a) refinance existing indebtedness of ours and our subsidiaries; (b) for general corporate purposes; and (c) to pay fees and expenses related to the loan transactions. The 2026 Term Loan Facility will amortize in a quarterly amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate original principal amount of the 2026 Term Loan Facility and may be prepaid at any time subject to a prepayment premium during the first year of the interest payments payable during the first year plus 3.00%. The 2026 Term Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries which are party to the 2026 Term Loan Facility.
The 2026 Term Loan Facility (a) will mature on April 30, 2029; (b) will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) a base rate plus 6.50% per annum for Reference Rate Loans and SOFR plus 7.50% per annum for SOFR Loans if the total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.00x, (ii) a base rate plus 6.25% per annum for Reference Rate Loans and SOFR plus 7.25% per annum for SOFR Loans if the total leverage ratio is greater than
25
or equal to 2.25x but less than 3.00x, and (iii) a base rate plus 5.75% per annum for Reference Rate Loans and SOFR plus 6.75% per annum for SOFR Loans if the total leverage ratio is less than 2.25x; and (c) is subject to certain affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a minimum liquidity covenant and a quarterly total net leverage ratio covenant.
2026 Revolving Credit Facility
On April 30, 2026, we entered into the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility governed by the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement, by and among us, Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc., TBC Holding Company LLC, Performance Designed Products LLC, Turtle Beach Europe Limited, VTB Holdings, Inc., Tide Acquisition Sub II, LLC, the financial institutions party thereto and Bank of America, as agent, collateral agent and security trustee for the lenders to the credit facility. The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement provides for, among other things: (a) subject in each case to the applicable borrowing base, a US commitment in an amount equal to $50.0 million or $65.0million based on the season and a UK commitment equal to $10.0 million or $15.0 million based on the season; (b) a maturity date of April 30, 2029; (c) interest rate and margin terms such that the loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (1) SOFR, (2) the US Base Rate, (3) SONIA for loans denominated in Sterling, and (4) EURIBOR for loans denominated in Euros, plus in each case, an applicable margin, which is between 0.50% and 1.00% for US Base Rate Loans and 1.50% and 2.00% for US Term SOFR Loans, UK SONIA Rate Loans and UK EURIBOR Loans; and (d) certain affirmative and negative covenants and a springing (subject to certain triggers) fixed charge coverage ratio. The obligations under the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries which are party to the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement.
The respective priorities of the security interests securing the 2026 Term Loan Financing Agreement and the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement are governed by an intercreditor agreement, dated as of April 30, 2026, between Blue Torch and Bank of America.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. Management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis. For a discussion of the critical estimates that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” included in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report.
See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein for a complete discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. We are currently evaluating the impact of certain recently issued guidance on our financial condition and results of operations in future periods.
Item 3 - Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
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, foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.
We have used derivative financial instruments, specifically foreign currency forward and option contracts, to manage exposure to foreign currency risks, by hedging a portion of its forecasted expenses denominated in British Pounds expected to occur within a year. The effect of exchange rate changes on foreign currency forward and option contracts is expected to offset the effect of exchange rate changes on the underlying hedged item. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any derivative financial instruments.
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash of $12.3 million, which consisted primarily of bank deposits. Our cash is held for working capital purposes.
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through borrowings under our amended Credit Agreement, which bears interest at variable rates. The applicable interest rate varies based on the type of loan and the borrower and is calculated using a floating benchmark rate plus an applicable margin. Depending on the loan type and currency, the floating benchmark may be the prime rate announced by Bank of America, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, EURIBOR, or SONIA. Because these benchmark rates fluctuate with market conditions, our interest expense will increase or decrease as the underlying reference rates change. As of December 31, 2025, under the amended Credit Agreement,
26
we had $85.1 million of outstanding balance at face value. A 100 basis-point change in applicable benchmark interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $0.5 million based on $53.6 million of variable-rate borrowings outstanding.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We have exchange rate exposure primarily with respect to the British Pound and Euro. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our monetary assets and liabilities that are subject to this exposure are immaterial, therefore the potential immediate loss to us that would result from a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our earnings or cash flows. This sensitivity analysis assumes an unfavorable 10% fluctuation in the exchange rates affecting the foreign currencies in which monetary assets and liabilities are denominated and does not take into account the offsetting effect of such a change on our foreign currency denominated revenues.
Inflation Risk
We remain exposed to market risk driven by inflationary pressures affecting our costs and demand for the products we sell. Such inflationary pressures have been and could continue to be exacerbated by continued high tariffs, higher oil prices, geopolitical turmoil, and economic policy actions and could lead to a recessionary environment. In recent years, our business has been affected by volatile global supply chain constraints and unfavorable changes in economic or political conditions in the countries and markets where we operate. Our financial performance continues to be influenced by shifting economic and political landscapes, most notably regarding evolving U.S. trade policies. The incremental tariffs have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our result of operations.
Inflationary pressures can also have a negative impact on demand for the products we sell. Reduced or delayed discretionary spending by consumers in response to inflationary pressures has reduced consumer demand for our products, and may result in reduced sales.
The global and regional economic and political conditions, as well as changes in trade policies, have caused and may continue to cause volatility in demand for our products as well as the cost of tariffs, materials and logistics, and transportation delays, and as a result have impacted and may continue to impact the pricing of our products, product availability and our results of operations.
We continue to experience the on-going impacts of a higher interest rate environment, which resulted in higher cost of goods, selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Such increases have had and may continue to have a negative impact on our profit margins if selling prices of products do not increase with the increased costs.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), are designed to ensure that (1) information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (2) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
At the conclusion of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer (or PEO) and our Principal Financial Officer (or PFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our PEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, were ineffective as of March 31, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are in process of remediating the material weaknesses identified and discussed in Part II, Item 9A. Controls Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies, which may be identified during this process.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the 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 fund the share repurchases using cash from operations or short-term borrowings and may suspend or discontinue repurchases at any time. The share repurchase program is scheduled to expire on May 6, 2027.
