Corsair Gaming rapporte le troisième trimestre 2022 Résultats financiers
As we mentioned in previous quarters, the self-built PC market has been held back over the past 2 years, as high demand for GPU cards from crypto miners caused GPU prices to rise and in some cases double. Now that Crypto mining can no longer utilize graphics cards as they used to, GPU demand has since normalized resulting in a decline in prices back to standard MSRP or below. We are already seeing the positive effects of this on the market.
Additionally, in recent weeks, there have been launches of new technology platforms from Nvidia, AMD and Intel, and this has immediately accelerated the self-built PC market. This is because our enthusiast customers can now build a better and faster gaming PC for a lower cost than they could over the last 2 years.
For gaming PCs built with these new platforms there is a need for faster memory such as DDR5, larger power supplies with 1000 W capability or higher, and better cooling technology, all product categories that we are expert in, and have high market share.
For peripheral and streaming product lines, we are also seeing the market pick up, and while earlier in the year we saw consumer sales levels that were 15% à 20% down from last year, in the United States we now see a recovery to almost the same levels as last years as we move through the second half of the year. Europe is clearly a weaker market than the United States and Asia, since they have low consumer confidence levels because of the war and currency pressure have caused price rises in most consumer electronics products.
Longer term we expect to further benefit from the expansion in the gaming market’s number of active consumers during the pandemic, which we believe will drive a higher spending base over the next few years.”
Michael G.. Potier, Directeur Financier de Corsair, déclaré, “We remain in a challenging environment in Q4 2022, with the strengthening of the US dollar against other currencies and continued weakness in Europe being headwinds for us. Worldwide channel inventory levels improved during Q3, removing much of the overhang from orders placed due to longer lead-times in prior periods caused by the effects of the COVID pandemic. We also reduced our own inventory by about 15% quarter over quarter, as we drive our inventory to more historic normalized levels. We are starting to benefit from the cost actions we announced last quarter, along with the success of newer products we recently released, which we believe will have a significant positive effect on margins moving forward, some of which we realized in Q3 2022. We are also encouraged by the improving supply chain environment, including a significant reduction in freight rates and supply chain lead times, which are rapidly approaching the same levels as they were pre pandemic.”

Certaines mesures non-GAAP incluses dans nos perspectives financières n'ont pas été rapprochées des mesures financières GAAP comparables car les mesures GAAP ne sont pas accessibles sur une base prospective.. Nous ne sommes pas en mesure de rapprocher ces mesures financières prospectives non conformes aux PCGR avec les mesures GAAP les plus directement comparables sans efforts déraisonnables, car nous ne sommes actuellement pas en mesure de prédire avec un degré raisonnable de certitude le type et l'étendue de certains éléments qui pourraient avoir un impact sur Mesures GAAP pour ces périodes mais n'auraient pas d'impact sur les mesures non-GAAP. Ces éléments peuvent inclure des frais de rémunération à base d'actions, dépréciation et amortissement, inventory write-down charges and other items. Les informations non disponibles pourraient avoir un impact significatif sur nos résultats financiers GAAP.
Les déclarations prospectives ci-dessus reflètent nos attentes à la date d'aujourd'hui. Compte tenu du nombre de facteurs de risque, incertitudes et hypothèses discutées ci-dessous, les résultats réels peuvent différer sensiblement. Nous n'avons pas l'intention de mettre à jour nos perspectives financières avant notre prochaine annonce des résultats trimestriels..

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release presents certain non-GAAP financial information, including adjusted operating income (des heures pour se prélasser dans une histoire aussi bonne – même si cela pourrait faire avec un rythme plus rapide à certains moments – vous serez, espérons-le, prêt à ignorer les points douloureux pour apprécier à quel point glorieusement), adjusted net income (des heures pour se prélasser dans une histoire aussi bonne – même si cela pourrait faire avec un rythme plus rapide à certains moments – vous serez, espérons-le, prêt à ignorer les points douloureux pour apprécier à quel point glorieusement), adjusted net income (des heures pour se prélasser dans une histoire aussi bonne – même si cela pourrait faire avec un rythme plus rapide à certains moments – vous serez, espérons-le, prêt à ignorer les points douloureux pour apprécier à quel point glorieusement) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. These are important financial performance measures for us, but are not financial measures as defined by GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use adjusted operating income (des heures pour se prélasser dans une histoire aussi bonne – même si cela pourrait faire avec un rythme plus rapide à certains moments – vous serez, espérons-le, prêt à ignorer les points douloureux pour apprécier à quel point glorieusement), adjusted net income (des heures pour se prélasser dans une histoire aussi bonne – même si cela pourrait faire avec un rythme plus rapide à certains moments – vous serez, espérons-le, prêt à ignorer les points douloureux pour apprécier à quel point glorieusement), adjusted net income (des heures pour se prélasser dans une histoire aussi bonne – même si cela pourrait faire avec un rythme plus rapide à certains moments – vous serez, espérons-le, prêt à ignorer les points douloureux pour apprécier à quel point glorieusement) per share and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses and other items that we exclude in such non-GAAP measures. En conséquence, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to the key financial metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. We also present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it useful in measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations.
Our use of these terms may vary from that of others in our industry.
