Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: TBCH), a leading gaming accessories brand, today reported strong financial results, including growth in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and gross margins in the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
First Quarter Highlights
"With incremental revenue and margin from our March 2024 acquisition of PDP, we delivered strong Q1 growth over the prior year, despite a year-to-date decline in gaming accessories markets due to current macroeconomic headwinds. Our Adjusted EBITDA growth reflects the benefits from our expanded portfolio of next-generation gaming accessories and highlights the accretive advantages of our M&A strategy and strong execution," said Cris Keirn, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation.
"As we have entered into a dynamic and complex macroeconomic environment, we have rapidly adapted our operations to better position the Company for the future. We have been prepared for the potential shift in tariffs and have quickly responded. We proactively increased inventory levels at the start of the year, and following the announcement in early April of new tariffs, we took immediate and decisive action. We are pleased to report that because of our early planning and preparedness, we are transitioning significant production out of China. As such, following the first quarter, less than 10% of our supply for the U.S. will come from China. For the remainder of 2025, our U.S. supply will primarily come from Vietnam, and we will continue evaluating and implementing further diversification of our end-to-end supply chain. Additionally, we have mitigation plans in place should additional changes occur to the current tariff environment for Vietnam. The portion of our supply chain that we continue maintaining in China will primarily be dedicated to producing goods for non-U.S. shipments.
"Our commitment to long-term value creation extends beyond product innovation. Over the past year, we implemented the largest share repurchase program in the Company's history, as we continue to opportunistically return capital to shareholders. The recent decision by our board of directors to authorize the repurchase of up to $75 million of our stock over the next two years signals our continued confidence in our prospects and our continued willingness to repurchase the Company's shares.
"Given recent events in the broader macroeconomic environment, we've made thoughtful revisions in our financial outlook. We remain confident in our near-term initiatives, the expertise of our team, and our ability to drive value for shareholders. Our focus on profitability, operational efficiency, and growth continues to drive our efforts as we adapt to these evolving conditions. We appreciate the ongoing support of our shareholders and stakeholders as we work toward more growth in 2026 and execute our strategy for sustainable, long-term success."
Share Repurchase Update
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased $1.8 million of common stock. Since the Company began repurchasing shares under the prior stock repurchase authorization program in the second quarter of 2024, the Company has repurchased 1.9 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $29.5 million. In line with its continued commitment to return capital to shareholders, the Company is opportunistically assessing various potential share repurchase strategies. The Company has authorized a new stock repurchase program of up to $75 million over the next two years. The amount and timing of specific repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, restrictions in the Company's debt agreements and other factors. The Company intends 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.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Summary
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had net debt of $43.6 million, comprised of $55.2 million of borrowings less $11.7 million of cash. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated $40.5 million in cash flow from operations, the highest level since 2019.
Financial Outlook
Due to the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and the recent industry announcements regarding new game releases, the Company is revising its financial outlook for the full year 2025. The Company currently expects gaming accessories markets to improve throughout 2025 but remain down for the full year compared to 2024, resulting in Company net revenues in the range of $340 million and $360 million. As the Company continues to execute on its profitability initiatives, it currently expects Adjusted EBITDA to be between $47 million and $53 million.
