Business Segment Highlights

Gaming Components and Systems Segment

Corsair's Gaming Components and Systems segment grew over 15% year-over-year, fueled by increased demand for memory products, performance PC builds and system upgrades. System builders continued to invest in high-wattage PSUs, 360mm water cooling, and large-capacity memory, particularly in response to the adoption of NVIDIA 5000 series GPUs, which drove attach rates across high-end components.

The launch of Corsair Air 5400, an award-winning triple-chamber airflow-optimized chassis, marked a key milestone in our case portfolio. The DDR5 product line also broke the overclocking world record multiple times during the quarter.

Gamer and Creator Peripherals Segment

The Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment grew over 10% year-over-year, supported by successful new product launches and expanded global channel presence. Corsair gained share in the performance gaming category with the release of the Saber Pro, an ultra-lightweight FPS gaming mouse, the Vanguard 96, a customizable keyboard with RGB LCD, combines enthusiast-grade design with premium functionality, and the Valor Pro, a PC and XBOX premium game controller with advanced TMR (Tunnel Magneto-Resistance) thumbstick sensors for anti-drift control. All new products saw strong traction with the gamer and creator community at launch.

Momentum in Fanatec-branded sim racing products remained strong, supported by ongoing operational improvements and expanded distribution. New products announced in October, including the advanced Podium Series precision pedal set and wheelbase, and the enhanced CSL Steering Wheel GT3, serve as proof points of successful roadmap execution, which will continue to expand into 2026 and beyond.

Elgato continued to lead in the creator market, highlighted by the launch of Facecam 4K, a studio-grade webcam delivering 4K60 video performance. Core products like Stream Deck and Elgato's capture solutions saw sustained demand, supported by a growing community on the Elgato marketplace and broader ecosystem integrations.

Management Commentary:

Thi La, Chief Executive Officer of Corsair, commented, "We delivered strong results in Q3 with double-digit revenue growth and even stronger profit expansion, supported by disciplined execution and operational focus. Our performance reflects continued momentum across our ecosystem of brands and products."

"We're seeing great traction from recent product releases, including the Vanguard 96, Saber Pro, both of which feature Elgato Virtual Streamdeck technology, the latest 4K cameras and video capture products, and innovative PC case design, all of which position us to grow in a robust market. Early sell-through and community response have been among the strongest we've seen in recent launches."

"We also continued to execute on our M&A integration where we're expanding both our roadmap and global reach. Fanatec's partnerships with leading motorsport brands including BMW, Porsche, Red Bull, and Sparco highlight our position as a trusted innovator in sim racing. Together, we're delivering authentic, high-performance experiences that bridge real-world racing and simulation. At the SimRacing Expo in Dortmund, our Fanatec brand saw overwhelmingly positive interest and attendee traction, underscoring strong community appreciation and momentum behind its brand and new product lineup."

Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer of Corsair, added, "We grew profitability faster than revenue in the quarter, underscoring the significant operating leverage within our business model. While the global tariff environment remains fluid, we do not anticipate a material net impact from known or announced tariffs through year-end, so we have provided an outlook for the remainder of this year. During the quarter, we strategically increased inventory in line with typical seasonal patterns to support robust anticipated demand across all Corsair brands in the important Q4 holiday season, while maintaining a strong balance sheet to fund our long-term growth initiatives."

Updated Full-Year 2025 Outlook

Corsair is updating its full-year 2025 guidance due to greater clarity around market dynamics and the ongoing changes in global trade policy developments.

• Net revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.425 billion to $1.475 billion
• Adjusted operating income to be in the range of $76 million to $81 million
• Adjusted EBITDA is projected between $85 million and $90 million

This adjustment assumes a conservative outlook for Q4, primarily to account for a tight DDR5 memory market and reflects latest estimated customer spending patterns. While Corsair has a strong mitigation plan in place for memory availability, we believe it is prudent to temper expectations on the upside in this category.

Gaming and creator peripherals continue to grow year-over-year, tracking in the high single digits for 2025. As gamers focus on high-end PC builds, particularly with the adoption of NVIDIA 5000 series GPUs starting in late Q2 2026, we expect peripheral upgrades to follow as new builds normalize, supporting continued momentum into 2026.

Despite $12 million in unforeseen tariff costs since May, Corsair delivered meaningful margin progress through agile supply chain management, proactive sourcing, pricing actions, and disciplined spending. Corsair expects to exit 2025 with a solid year-over-year improvement in EBITDA margin, and we believe this positions Corsair for sustained profitable growth into 2026.

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 (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) 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 (loss), adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) 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. Accordingly, 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. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net revenue, operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash provided by operating activities, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached schedules.

We calculate these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

• Adjusted operating income (loss), non-GAAP, is determined by adding back to GAAP operating income (loss), the impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, one-time costs related to legal and other matters, acquisition and related integration costs, restructuring and other charges, and acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value.
• Adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP, excludes the impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, one-time costs related to legal and other matters, acquisition and related integration costs, restructuring and other charges, acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value and the reversal of bargain purchase gain on business acquisition, as well as the related tax effects of each of these adjustments.
• Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, non-GAAP, is determined by dividing adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP by the respective weighted average shares outstanding, inclusive of the impact of other dilutive securities.
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact from amortization, stock-based compensation, one-time costs related to legal and other matters, acquisition and related integration costs, restructuring and other charges, acquisition accounting impact related to recognizing acquired inventory at fair value, and the reversal of bargain purchase gain on business acquisition, depreciation, interest expense, net, and tax expense (benefit).

We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the related GAAP financial measures.
