Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR), a leading gaming headset and accessories brand, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter Highlights
"We're proud to report another quarter of strong performance for Turtle Beach, as we saw continued momentum in our business, significant gross margin expansion, further execution of our cost-reduction initiatives, and the integration of PDP that is ahead of schedule," said Cris Keirn, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation.
"Our second quarter results reflect the team's unwavering commitment to execution, as we have married the rapid integration of a significant acquisition with our ongoing focus on proactive cost management, all the while providing best-in-class and innovative products to our customers. In the quarter, Turtle Beach continued to demonstrate its market-leading position in gaming headsets while simultaneously overseeing meaningful share gains in gaming controllers. At the same time, the benefits of the PDP acquisition highlight a scale and diversification advantage that are paving the way for Turtle Beach to stand apart in the competitive gaming equipment market."
"Revenue for the quarter reached $76.5 million, a significant 59% increase year-over-year, bolstered by the successful ongoing integration of PDP and robust demand for our leading products. Even excluding PDP, we saw healthy organic growth of 15%. This growth, coupled with our ongoing efficiency initiatives, led to a substantial improvement in profitability, with Adjusted EBITDA reaching $3.0 million for the quarter.
"The integration of PDP is already yielding synergies and expanding our market opportunities. Our unyielding focus on margin expansion is evident in our results, driven by optimized cost structures and operational efficiencies. We're particularly pleased with our ability to generate strong cash flow from operations, which has allowed us to repurchase approximately $15 million of our stock this quarter—the largest repurchase in our history. This action underscores our confidence in Turtle Beach's trajectory and our commitment to enhancing shareholder value.
"Looking ahead, we're excited about what we are seeing in our product pipeline, the strategic advantages gained from the PDP acquisition, and our ongoing efforts to enhance profitability while driving growth. As a result, we're raising our full-year guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting our optimism for the remainder of 2024."
