NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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 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 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, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that these factors include but are not limited to those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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.

Corsair Gaming, Inc.

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 gear for gamers, streamers and content creators, many of which build their own PCs using our components.

Corsair is organized into two reportable segments:

Gamer and creator peripherals. Includes our high-performance gaming keyboards, mice, headsets, controllers, and our streaming gear, which includes capture cards, Stream Decks, USB microphones, our Facecam streaming camera, studio accessories and EpocCam software, among others.
Gaming components and systems. Includes our high-performance power supply units, or PSUs, cooling solutions, computer cases, DRAM modules, as well as high-end prebuilt and custom-built gaming PCs and laptops, and gaming monitors, among others.

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 10K for the year ended December 31, 2022 which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, 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, 2022, 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 March 31, 2023 and our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying 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.

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.

On January 1, 2022 (the “Closing” or “Closing Date”), we completed the acquisition of a 51% ownership stake in Elgato iDisplay Holdings LTD. and its related companies (together “iDisplay”). (See Note 5, “Business Combination - iDisplay Acquisition” for more details on the iDisplay Acquisition). We have determined that iDisplay does not qualify as a VIE and Corsair has a controlling financial interest in iDisplay under the VOE model and therefore, iDisplay’s results of operations are fully consolidated with Corsair with effect from January 1, 2022.

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, and deferred income tax. 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 environment and the events in Ukraine. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The extent to which the current macroeconomic factors and the development in Ukraine will impact our business going forward depends on numerous dynamic factors that we cannot reliably predict. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

3. Fair Value Measurement

U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active market, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the report date. The nature of these securities includes investments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and investments that are fair valued using other securities, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level 3—Securities that have little to no pricing observability as of the report date. These securities are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value are not observable and require significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair value accounting is applied to all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in our condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Our financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings from credit lines and other liabilities and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The balances of our financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were not material. The following tables summarize our financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

The fair values of the forward contracts were based on similar exchange traded derivatives and the related asset or liability is included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

In December 2019, one of our subsidiaries entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Scuf Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “SCUF”) and acquired 100% of their equity interests (the “SCUF Acquisition”). The fair value of the SCUF contingent consideration was determined based on the estimates of acquired tax benefits owed to SCUF’s sellers according to the merger agreement, and these estimates represent a level 3 fair value measurement. The $1.0 million liability as of December 31, 2022 was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2022, and this amount was paid in the first quarter of 2023.

4. 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, and interest rate cap contracts, to minimize our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate debts. 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 not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes.

The foreign currency forward contracts generally mature within two to four months. The notional principal amount of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts was $25.3 million and $23.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, none of which have been designated as hedging instruments during the periods presented. The net fair value gains (losses) recognized in other (expense) income, net in relation to these derivative instruments was $(0.4) million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

5. Business Combinations

 

iDisplay Acquisition

On January 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of a 51% ownership stake in iDisplay (the “iDisplay Acquisition”), a leader in electronic development and design specializing in display technology, headquartered in Taiwan.

The fair value consideration for iDisplay was $36.4 million, including $21.9 million in cash and the issuance of 690,333 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $14.5 million at Closing Date. The consideration was reduced for the effective 51% settlement of a pre-existing contractual accounts payable balance owed to iDisplay of $3.5 million. The iDisplay Acquisition has allowed us to direct the development and integration of iDisplay’s display-based touch-screen technologies into our products for creators, gamers and streamers. iDisplay’s results of operations are fully consolidated with Corsair with effect from January 1, 2022.

The seller of iDisplay (the “iDisplay Seller”) has retained a 49% noncontrolling interest in iDisplay. Under the Shareholders Agreement between Corsair and the iDisplay Seller, a put option was provided to the iDisplay Seller and a call option was provided to Corsair for the option to transfer (i) 14% ownership interest in iDisplay to Corsair upon the first anniversary of the Closing and (ii) an additional 15% of ownership interest in iDisplay to Corsair upon the second anniversary of the Closing. Both put and call options expire on January 1, 2025. The exercise price of the put option and the call option is based on multiples of iDisplay’s trailing twelve-month earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization (“TTM EBITDA”) less any debt. The 29% noncontrolling interest subject to the put option is considered a redeemable noncontrolling interest ("RNCI"). See Note 15, “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest” for more information regarding such RNCI.

The fair value of the 49% noncontrolling interest was estimated to be $29.6 million. The control premium was based on an analysis considering similar market transactions involving control premiums, as well as factors specific to iDisplay, including its significant customer concentration.

Subsequent to the iDisplay Acquisition Closing Date, we recorded measurement period adjustments which increased goodwill by $1.0 million and decreased identifiable intangible assets and deferred liabilities by $1.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The final allocation of the iDisplay Acquisition purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of certain working capital related items, including accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as well as the fair value of property and equipment approximated their book values at the date of the iDisplay Acquisition. The fair value of the inventories was estimated by major category, at net realizable value, which we believe approximates the price a market participant could achieve in a current sale. The difference between the fair value of the inventories and the book value recorded by iDisplay on the acquisition date was $0.3 million, which was recognized in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the acquired inventory.

The goodwill recognized for the iDisplay Acquisition, which is the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and the net tangible assets and liabilities acquired, has been estimated to be $33.0 million, of which $29.3 million and $3.7 million are assigned to our gamer and creator peripherals reporting unit and gaming component and systems reporting unit, respectively. We believe goodwill represents the strengthening of our supply chain with display-based touch-screen technologies into our products for creators, gamers and streamers, and the ability to design and generate new technologies to enhance the features of our products.

A portion of the identifiable intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes for which a $4.6 million deferred tax liability has been estimated at the date of acquisition for the difference between the book and tax bases of these assets. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Valuation of identified intangible assets

asset represents the value assigned to the relationship iDisplay had established over the years with a broad network of suppliers and OEMs that have been crucial to the quality and magnitude of iDisplay manufacturing capability. The fair value of supplier relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings approach and the economic useful life was determined to be aligned with the estimated useful life of the developed technology acquired from iDisplay. The developed technology intangible asset represents unpatented propriety technologies, such as hardware designs and architectures and process technologies used in the on-going research and design of the products manufactured by iDisplay. The fair value of developed technology was estimated using the income approach and the economic useful life was based on the technology cycle of the products manufactured, as well as the cash flows anticipated over the forecasted periods. The valuations of the intangible assets were calculated with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. The fair values of these intangibles were valued based on long-term cash flow projections, which we consider to be Level 3 inputs.

These intangibles are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization, which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Amortization of patent portfolio and supplier relationships is included in cost of revenue and amortization of developed technology is included in product development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisition-related costs

There was no acquisition-related costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2023. We incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These costs are recorded in sales, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

On September 29, 2022, one of our fully consolidated subsidiaries entered into an accounts receivable factoring agreement (“Factoring Agreement”) with a third-party financial institution (“Factor”). Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, we sell certain of our customer receivables on a non-recourse basis to the Factor. Proceeds from factoring the accounts receivable are due upon collection of payments from the customers, but upon our request, the Factor may, at their sole discretion, remit a portion of the proceeds to us prior to their collection of payments from the customers. Our obligations to the Factor arising from the Factoring Agreement are secured by certain assets of our subsidiary. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold receivables and received cash proceeds of $82.9 million and $98.6 million, respectively. The cost of factoring is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and the amount incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2023, was immaterial.

The Factor and one other customer, each represented 10% or more of our accounts receivable, net balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Nonmonetary Transactions

The sales and purchases of inventory with our manufacturers are accounted for as nonmonetary transactions. Upon sale of raw materials to the manufacturer, for the inventories on-hand with the manufacturer where there is an anticipated reciprocal purchase by us, we will record this nonmonetary transaction as prepaid inventories and accrued liabilities. When we transact the reciprocal purchase of inventory from the manufacturer, we will record a payable to the manufacturer at the purchase price, which replaces the initial nonmonetary transaction and inventory will be reflected at carrying value, which includes the costs for the raw materials and the incremental costs charged by the manufacturer for additional work performed on the inventory. In connection with such nonmonetary transactions with our manufacturers, as of March 31, 2023, we recognized $0.6 million prepaid inventory and $0.8 million accrued liabilities and as of December 31, 2022, we recognized $1.0 million prepaid inventory and $1.3 million accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Because the transactions are nonmonetary, they have not been included in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows pursuant to ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows.

Credit Agreement

On September 3, 2021, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $100.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) and a $250.0 million five-year term loan facility (“Term Loan”), with each maturing in September 2026. The Credit Agreement also permits, subject to conditions stated therein, additional incremental facilities in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250.0 million. We may prepay the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty. We prepaid $3.75 million and $8.75 million of the Term Loan principal in the year ended December 31, 2022 and in the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

The Term Loan and Revolving Facility under the Credit Agreement initially carried interest at the Company’s election at either (a) LIBOR plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 2.0%) based on our total net leverage ratio, or (b) the base rate (described in the Credit Agreement as the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 1.0%) based on our net leverage ratio.

The 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. The financial covenants include the maintenance of a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this nature and upon the occurrence of such events of default, among other things, all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the interest on the Term loan and Revolving Facility can be increased by 2.0%.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Credit Agreement and related ancillary documentation.

On June 30, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment of the Credit Agreement (“First Amendment”), which among other changes resulted in the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) being utilized as a replacement rate for LIBOR. Consequently, following the First Amendment, the Term Loan and Revolving Facility will each bear interest at the Company’s election at either (a) BSBY plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%) based on our total net leverage ratio, or (b) the base rate (as described in the Credit Agreement) as the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month BSBY plus 1.0%) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%) based on our total net leverage ratio. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, the maximum permitted Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was also amended to increase to 3.50 to 1.0 between the quarters ending September 30, 2022 through and including March 31, 2023, and such ratio will revert to 3.00 to 1.00 from the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and each quarter thereafter, provided that, upon the occurrence of a Qualified Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement), such ratio can be increased to 3.50 to 1.0 temporarily provided all the requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement are met.

On September 29, 2022, we entered into an accounts receivable Factoring Agreement with a Factor. See Note 7 “Balance Sheet Components – Accounts Receivable, Net” for additional information on the Factoring Agreement. In connection with the Factoring Agreement, we also entered into (i) a Second Amendment (“Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to permit the transactions contemplated by the Factoring Agreement and (ii) an Assignment of Factoring Proceeds and Intercreditor Agreement with the Factor and the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement to establish the respective rights of the Factor and the Credit Agreement Agent in and to the related factoring collateral.

On November 28, 2022, we entered into a Third Amendment (“Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement that provides for, among other things, (i) a decrease in the required minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 2.50 to 1.00 for the quarters ending on and after March 31, 2023 through and including December 31, 2023, (ii) an increase in the maximum permitted Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 3.75 to 1.00 for the quarters ending December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, stepping down to 3.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2023, and 3.25 to 1.00

Table of Contents

 

 

for the quarters ending September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, and (iii) a modified pricing grid providing for an increased margin (ranging from (x) 1.50% per annum to 3.25% per annum for loans bearing interest at the BSBY rate, and (y) 0.50% per annum to 2.25% per annum for loans bearing interest at the base rate, in each case depending on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio) for the period of December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2023.

The First, Second and Third Amendment were accounted for as debt modifications.

As of March 31, 2023, we were not in default under the Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our Term Loan was $228.8 million and $238.7 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan as of March 31, 2023, which we have classified as a Level 2 financial instrument, was approximately $234.6 million.

The effective interest rate inclusive of the debt discount and debt issuance costs was approximately 7.06% and 1.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

In the normal course of business, we enter into various purchase commitments for goods or services. Our long-term non-cancelable purchase commitments consist primarily of multi-year contractual arrangements relating to subscriptions for cloud computing hosting arrangements for our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and the related support services as well as marketing sponsorships. Long-term non-cancelable purchase commitments as of March 31, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):

Letters of Credit

There were no letters of credit outstanding, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. No amounts have been drawn upon letters of credit for all periods presented.

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. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on our operations or financial position, liquidity of results of operations.

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 no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flows. We currently have directors’ and officers’ insurance.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

On September 25, 2020, in connection with the closing of the IPO, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which increased the authorized shares of common stock for issuance to 300,000,000 and authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share, for issuance. There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Shelf-Registration Statement

On July 22, 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective August 1, 2022 (the “2022 Shelf Registration Statement”). The 2022 Shelf Registration Statement registered securities to be offered by us, in an amount up to $300.0 million, including common stock, preferred stock and warrants. In addition, the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement registered 54,179,559 shares of common stock held by the selling securityholders named in the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement. We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares registered by the selling securityholders.

In November 2022, we sold 4,545,455 shares of common stock at a price of $16.50 per share in a registered underwritten public offering pursuant to the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement. Following the partial exercise in December 2022 by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares, we sold an additional 500,000 shares. The total proceeds from the underwritten public offering, net of underwriting discounts, commission and offering expenses, were approximately $81.0 million.

(23.1

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 United States income, the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, changes in geographic mix of income and expense, and 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 (27.9)% and (23.1)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in non-deductible stock-based compensation expense partially offset by an increase in windfall tax benefit from stock-based compensation expense.

Unrecognized tax benefits were $3.7 million as of March 31, 2023 and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively, and if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.

14. Segment and Geographic Information

We have two reportable segments:

Gamer and Creator Peripherals. Includes our high-performance gaming keyboards, mice, headsets, controllers, and our streaming gear, which includes capture cards, Stream Decks, USB microphones, our Facecam streaming camera, studio accessories and EpocCam software, among others.
Gaming Components and Systems. Includes our high-performance power supply units, or PSUs, cooling solutions, computer cases, DRAM modules, as well as high-end prebuilt and custom-built gaming PCs and laptops, and gaming monitors, among others.

The segments are defined as those operations our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. Our CODM is determined to be Corsair’s Chief Executive Officer. The results of the reportable segments are derived directly from our reporting system and are based on the methods of internal reporting which are not necessarily in conformity with GAAP. Management measures net revenue and gross profit to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments.

One customer represented at least 10% of total net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

15. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Under the Shareholders Agreement between Corsair and the iDisplay Seller a put option was provided to the iDisplay Seller to transfer to Corsair (i) 14% of their ownership interest in iDisplay upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date of the iDisplay Acquisition, and (ii) an additional 15% of their ownership interest in iDisplay upon the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The put option will expire after January 1, 2025. The exercise price of the put option is based on multiples of iDisplay’s historical TTM EBITDA less any debt. The put option makes this portion of the noncontrolling interest redeemable and therefore, the RNCI is classified as temporary equity on our consolidated balance sheets and carried at the greater of the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased, for the RNCI share of comprehensive income (loss), contributions and distributions, or the redemption value. The change in redemption value is recognized through retained earnings.

The following table presents the changes in RNCI for the periods presented (in thousands):

We are committed to continuing to grow in our current markets as well as new markets through the development of innovative technologies and by entering into new categories through organic growth or acquisition. In 2022 and 2021, we entered into four new markets, namely the microphones and cameras markets for content creators, the gaming monitors market and prebuilt gaming laptops market for both gamers and content creators. We continue to expand our product portfolio, launching 125 new products in the year of 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we started to ship various new innovative products including our new FLEX OLED bendable monitor, engineered in partnership with LG, and we expanded our Stream Deck product family, which further enhances the speed and workflows in streaming and content creation. In addition, with lower priced GPUs coming to market and new game titles being released this year, we believe that the gaming market will continue to grow.

Summary of Financial Results

Our net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $26.7 million or 7.0%, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in net revenue for the three-month period was driven by decreased revenue in our gamer and peripherals segment, offset partially by increased revenue in our gaming components and systems segment. Our gross margin increased from 23.8% to 24.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period last year.

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and restricted cash, in the aggregate of $182.1 million and the principal balance outstanding of the Term Loan was $230.0 million. Cash provided by (used in) operations was $41.8 million and $(6.1) million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2022 and those described below.

Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions

Our business and financial performance are significantly impacted by worldwide economic conditions. Global macroeconomic challenges, such as the effects of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain constraints, market uncertainty, and the risk of a recession, volatility in exchange rates, inflationary trends and evolving dynamics in the global trade environment, have impacted our business and financial performance. Throughout 2022, these conditions adversely impacted our net revenue and resulted in higher cost of sales due to increased shipping and production costs. Such conditions also resulted in excess inventory in our distribution channels that led to us recognizing higher inventory impairment related charges in 2022 in order to rationalize our inventory levels to align with the reduced revenue in the period. These market dynamics, which we expect will continue in the short-term, have created new and different demand dynamics in our markets and have had significant impacts on our financial results.

The extent of the impact of macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical tensions and the COVID-19 pandemic 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.

Impact of fluctuations in Currency Exchange Rate

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Some of our international sales are denominated in foreign currencies and any unfavorable movement in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and the currencies in which we conduct sales in foreign countries may negatively impact our revenue. For example, our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was in part negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and the British Pound. In addition, we generally pay our employees located outside the United States in the local currency, with a significant portion of those payments being made in Taiwan dollars and Euros. As a result of our foreign sales and operations, we have other expenses, assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies, in particular the Chinese Yuan, Euro and British Pound.

Impact of Industry Trends

Our results of operations and financial condition are impacted by industry trends in the gaming market, including:

Increasing gaming engagement. We believe that gaming’s increasing time share of global entertainment consumption will drive continued growth in spending on both games and gaming gear. Gaming continues to become increasingly social, as streaming viewership becomes more widely adopted with increasing numbers of content creators. This trend, which has accelerated in the past few years experienced a setback in 2022 primarily due to challenging macroeconomic conditions and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Nonetheless, we have seen some recovery starting from the fourth quarter of 2022. Accordingly, we believe that the acceleration trend will resume in the remainder of 2023 and that we are well-positioned to serve the streaming market with best-in-class tools for content creation.
Introduction of new high-performance computing hardware and sophisticated games. We believe that the introduction of more powerful CPUs and GPUs that place increased demands on other system components, such as memory, power supply or cooling, has a significant effect on increasing the demand for our gear. The shortage of reasonably priced GPUs since the second half of 2021 had a negative impact on our gaming component revenue, but starting from the third quarter of 2022, we saw the availability of reasonably priced GPUs began to normalize which brought along some positive effects to the self-built PC market.
In addition, we believe that our business success depends in part on the introduction and success of games with sophisticated graphics that place increasing demands on system processing speed and capacity and therefore require more powerful CPUs or GPUs, which in turn drives demand for our high-performance gaming components and systems, such as PSUs and cooling solutions, and our gaming PC memory. As a result, our operating results may be materially affected by the timing of, and the rate at which computer hardware companies introduce, new and enhanced CPUs and GPUs, the timing of, and rate at which computer game companies and developers introduce, sophisticated new and improved games that require increasingly high levels of system and graphics processing power, and whether these new products and games are widely accepted by gamers.

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 Customer Concentration

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 25.8% and 30.4% of our net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and sales to our ten largest customers accounting for approximately 51.5% and 52.5% of our net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our customers, including Amazon, typically do not enter into long-term agreements to purchase our gear 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 expenses, for example utilizing expensive shipping options such as air freight for smaller packages and more urgent deliveries and more cost-efficient options, such as train or boat, 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. 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 gear 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 and second calendar quarters 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, which usually take place in the second calendar quarter, and which tend to drive sales in the following two quarters. Further, our net revenue tends to be higher in the third and fourth calendar quarters 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 introduction of new consoles and high-profile games 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 followed by the first calendar quarter.

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.

Components of our Operating Results

Net Revenue

We generate materially all of our net revenue from the sale of gamer and creator peripherals and gaming components and systems to retailers, including online retailers, gamers and distributors worldwide. Our revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns, discounts, sales incentives and any taxes collected from customers.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of product costs, including costs of contract manufacturers, inbound freight costs from manufacturers to our distribution hubs as well as inter-hub shipments, cost of materials and overhead, duties and tariffs, warranty replacement cost to process and rework returned items, depreciation of tooling equipment, warehousing costs, excess and obsolete inventory write-downs,

22


Table of Contents

 

 

and certain allocated costs related to facilities and information technology, or IT, and personnel-related expenses and other operating expenses related to supply chain logistics.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of sales, general and administrative expenses and product development expenses.

Sales, general and administrative. Sales, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses represent the largest component of our operating expenses and consist of distribution costs, sales, marketing and other general and administrative costs. Distribution costs include outbound freight and the costs to operate our distribution hubs. Sales and marketing costs relate to the costs to operate our global sales force that works in conjunction with our channel partners, gaming team and event sponsorships, advertising and marketing promotions of our products and services, costs of maintaining our web store and credit card processing fees related to sales on our webstore, personnel-related cost and allocated overhead costs. General and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for our finance, legal, human resources, IT and administrative personnel, as well as the costs of professional services related to these functions and allocated overhead costs.

Product development. Product development costs are generally expensed as incurred. Product development costs consist primarily of the costs associated with the design and testing of new products and improvements to existing products. These costs relate primarily to compensation of personnel and consultants involved with product design, definition, compatibility testing and qualification, as well as depreciation costs of equipment used, prototype material costs and allocated overhead costs.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net consists of interest associated with our debt financing arrangements, including our revolving line of credit, and amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discounts. Interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents balance is included within interest expense, net as an offset to interest expense.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net consists primarily of our foreign currency exchange gains and losses relating to transactions and remeasurement of asset and liability balances denominated in foreign currencies, and net fair value gains and losses from our foreign currency forward contracts.

Income Tax Benefit

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 United States income, the utilization of foreign tax credits and changes in tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced through the establishment of a valuation allowance, if, based upon available evidence, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of our assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in future years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the share of the net income (loss) of iDisplay attributable to the 49% ownership interest of iDisplay we did not acquire.

Gamer and Creator Peripherals Segment

The gross margin of the gamer and creator peripherals segment decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2023 by 2.1% as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher excess and obsolescence charges, partially offset by lower freight costs and tariffs as well as decreased promotional activity.

Gaming Components and Systems Segment

The gross margin of the gaming components and systems segment increased in the three months ended March 31, 2023 by 2.9% as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a change in sales mix toward higher margin products in this segment and lower freight costs and tariffs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity have been the payments received from customers purchasing our products, the borrowings under our Credit Agreement (defined below) and the net proceeds we received from our underwritten public offerings.

On September 29, 2022, one of our subsidiaries entered into an accounts receivable Factoring Agreement with a third-party financial institution, or the Factor. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, we sell certain of our customer receivables on a non-recourse basis to the Factor. Our obligations to the Factor, related to advances from the Factor, are secured by certain assets of our subsidiary. The cost of factoring is not expected to have a material effect to our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. There was no advance taken from the Factor during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Our principal uses of cash generally will 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.

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and restricted cash, in aggregate of $182.1 million, including $27.9 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. Amounts held outside of the United States are generally utilized to support our non-U.S. liquidity needs. Repatriations of amounts held outside the United States generally will not be taxable from a U.S. federal tax perspective but may be subject to state income or foreign withholding tax. We do not expect restrictions or potential taxes incurred on repatriation of amounts held outside of the United States to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

We believe that the anticipated cash flows from operations based on our current business outlook, combined with our current levels of cash balances at March 31, 2023, supplemented with the borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 was $41.8 million and consisted of a net cash inflow of $25.7 million from changes in our net operating assets and liabilities and non-cash adjustments of $17.8 million, offset partially by a net loss of $1.6 million. The net cash inflow from changes in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to a decrease in accounts receivable, a decrease in inventories and an increase in accounts payable due to timing of payments. These net cash inflows were partially offset by a decrease in other liabilities and accrued expenses mainly due to lower accrual for sales returns and customer incentives. The non-cash adjustments consisted primarily of amortization of intangibles, depreciation and stock-based compensation expense, which were partially offset by changes in deferred income taxes.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $6.1 million and consisted of net loss of $3.3 million and $17.3 million net cash outflow from changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by non-cash adjustments of $14.5 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 lower accrual for sales returns and customer incentives and bonus expense, as well as an increase in prepaid and other assets. The net cash outflows were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. The non-cash adjustments consisted primarily of amortization of intangibles, depreciation and stock-based compensation expense, which were partially offset by changes in deferred tax assets.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and consisted of purchases of capital equipment and software.

Cash used in investing activities was $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and consisted of $19.5 million for the iDisplay Acquisition (net of cash acquired) and $4.4 million for the purchase of capital equipment and software.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and consisted of $10.0 million repayment of debt, $1.0 million payment of contingent consideration, $0.6 million payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards, and $0.5 million payment of offering costs in connection with our underwritten public offering in the fourth quarter of 2022, partially offset by $2.1 million proceeds received from the issuance of shares through employee equity incentive plans.

Cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and consisted primarily of $1.3 million repayment of debt and $0.9 million payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards, partially offset by $0.5 million proceeds received from the issuance of shares through the employee equity incentive plans. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we also borrowed $293.0 million from our revolving credit facility to fund our operations and the full amount was repaid within the same quarter.

Capital Resources

Credit Agreement (Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility)

On September 3, 2021, we refinanced the First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a new Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The new Credit Agreement provides for a total commitment of $350.0 million, consisting of a $100.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $250.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan”).

The Credit Agreement is available for a period of five years, maturing September 2026, and provides for additional incremental facilities up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We may prepay the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty. We prepaid $3.75 million and $8.75 million of the Term Loan principal in the year ended December 31, 2022 and in the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

The Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement will each bear interest at our election, either (a) LIBOR plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 2.0%) based on our total net leverage ratio, or (b) the base rate (described in the Credit Agreement as the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 1.0%) based on our total net leverage ratio.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Credit Agreement and related ancillary documentation.

On June 30, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment of the Credit Agreement (“First Amendment”) which, among other changes, resulted in the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) being utilized as a replacement rate for LIBOR.

Consequently, following the First Amendment, the Term Loan and Revolving Facility will each bear interest at our election at either (a) BSBY plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%) based on our total net leverage ratio, or (b) the base rate (as described in the Credit Agreement) as the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month BSBY plus 1.0%) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%) based on our total net leverage ratio. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, the maximum permitted Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was also amended to increase to 3.50 to 1.0 between the quarters ending September 30, 2022 through and including March 31, 2023, and such ratio will revert to 3.00 to 1.00 from the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and each quarter thereafter; provided, that upon the occurrence of a Qualified Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement), such ratio can be increased to 3.50 to 1.0 temporarily provided all the requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement are met.

On September 29, 2022, we entered into an accounts receivable Factoring Agreement with the Factor. In connection with the Factoring Agreement, we also entered into (i) a Second Amendment (“Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to permit the transactions contemplated by the Factoring Agreement and (ii) an Assignment of Factoring Proceeds and Intercreditor Agreement with the Factor and the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement to establish the respective rights of the Factor and the Credit Agreement Agent in and to the related factoring collateral.

On November 28, 2022, we entered into a Third Amendment (“Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement which provides for, among other things: (i) a decrease in the required minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 2.50 to 1.00 for the quarters ending on and after March 31, 2023 through and including December 31, 2023; (ii) an increase in the maximum permitted Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 3.75 to 1.00 for the quarters ending December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, stepping down to 3.50 to 1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2023, and 3.25 to 1.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023; and (iii) a modified pricing grid providing for an increased margin (ranging from (x) 1.50% per annum to 3.25% per annum for loans bearing interest at the BSBY rate, and (y) 0.50% per annum to 2.25% per annum for loans bearing interest at the base rate, in each case depending on our Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio) for the period of December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023, we were not in default under the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2023, the total principal outstanding of the Term Loan was $230.0 million and the available and uncommitted capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $100 million.

(1)
Amounts represent the principal cash payments as of March 31, 2023 of our Term Loan based on the repayment schedule according to the Credit Agreement and the expected interest payments associated with the Term Loan. See Note 8, “Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
(2)
Amounts represent an estimate of purchase obligations related to inventory.
(3)
Amounts represent contractual obligations from our operating leases for offices and warehouse spaces.
(4)
Amounts represent non-cancelable obligations related to capital expenditures, software licenses, marketing and other activities.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $2.6 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 Polices 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 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.

Other than the new items discussed in Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2023 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, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023.

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 March 31, 2023, we had cash and restricted cash of $182.1 million, which consisted primarily of bank deposits. Our cash is held for working capital purposes.

As of March 31, 2023, under the Credit Agreement, we had $230.0 million Term Loan outstanding (face value), and the Term Loan bears variable market rates, primarily BSBY. See Note 8, “Debt - Credit Agreement” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Credit Agreement. A significant change in these market rates may adversely affect our operating results. As of March 31, 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a change to annual interest expense by approximately $2.3 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

Approximately 15.7% of our net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Euro and 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, China and Taiwan. 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, British Pound, and Chinese Yuan 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 $25.3 million and $23.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 impact of changes in foreign currency rates, including the gains or (losses) on the forward currency contracts, recognized in other (expense) income, net was $(0.6) million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. 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 $0.9 million in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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 March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

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, 2022 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, 2022 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.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

Not applicable.
