1. Business overview

GoPro, Inc. (GoPro or the Company) makes mountable and wearable cameras and accessories, which the Company refers to as capture devices. GoPro also develops and provides free software, the GoPro App (mobile) and GoPro Studio (desktop) that help users create, manage, and share GoPro content. The Company’s capture devices are sold globally through retailers, wholesale distributors and on the Company’s website.

2. Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and in accordance with the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 Annual Report). There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the footnotes to the audited financial statements contained in its 2014 Annual Report.

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, references to the Company are references to GoPro, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions in several areas, including those related to: revenue recognition and related estimates (including sales returns, web-based sale deliveries at period-end, implied post contract support, and marketing allowances), collectability of accounts receivable, stock-based compensation, inventory valuation, product warranty liabilities, the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, goodwill, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from management's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected.

Comprehensive income

For all periods presented, comprehensive income equaled net income. Therefore, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income have been omitted from the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount to which an entity expects to be entitled when products and services are transferred to customers. ASU 2014-09 was originally to be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. In July 2015, the FASB affirmed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard. The new standard will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early application is permitted but not before the original effective date of annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Prior period reclassifications

Reclassifications of certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

Acquisitions and acquired intangible assets and goodwill

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company completed several acquisitions for an aggregate cash consideration of $59.3 million that were accounted for as business combinations. These acquisitions were not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, either individually or in the aggregate, and therefore actual and proforma disclosures under the applicable accounting guidance have not been presented.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related useful lives, where applicable:



(in thousands)	Estimated useful life (in years)	Fair value
Developed technology	4 - 6 years	$	19,800
In-process research and development		6,000
Liabilities assumed		(71		)
Deferred tax liabilities		(3,284		)
Net assets acquired		22,445
Goodwill		36,902
Total fair value consideration		$	59,347

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is primarily attributable to expected synergies in the technologies that can be leveraged by the Company in future product offerings. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the Company's acquired intangible assets:




	June 30, 2015							December 31, 2014
(in thousands)	Gross carrying amount		Accumulated amortization			Net carrying amount		Net carrying amount
Finite-lived acquired intangible assets	$	27,075	$	(5,563	)	$	21,512	$	2,922
Indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets	6,015		—			6,015		15
Total intangible assets	$	33,090	$	(5,563	)	$	27,527	$	2,937

Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for future periods as of June 30, 2015, is as follows:

	$	21,512

The carrying amount of goodwill was $51.0 million and $14.1 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was entirely attributable to goodwill acquired. The Company did not have any goodwill impairments during the periods presented.

4. Fair value measurements

The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:



	June 30, 2015						December 31, 2014
(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Total
Cash equivalents (1):
Money market funds	$	6,435	$	—	$	6,435	$	80,968	$	—	$	80,968
Corporate debt securities	—		—		—		—		2,000		2,000

Total marketable securities	$	5,992	$	172,961	$	178,953	$	1,994	$	100,333	$	102,327

(1) Included in “cash and cash equivalents” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, in addition to cash of $331.6 million and $237.0 million, respectively.

The Company classifies its cash equivalents and marketable securities as Level 1 or Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of Level 1 financial instruments, which are traded in active markets, is based on quoted market prices for identical instruments. The fair value of Level 2 financial instruments is obtained from an independent pricing service, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model driven valuations using observable market data or inputs corroborated by observable market data. The Company's procedures include controls to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded, including comparing the fair values obtained from the Company's pricing service against fair values obtained from other independent sources. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that were classified as Level 3, which are valued based on inputs supported by little or no market activity.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amortized cost of the Company's cash equivalents and marketable securities approximated their fair value and there were no material unrealized gains/(losses) either individually or in total.

GoPro, Inc.

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements

(unaudited)

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had no transfers of financial assets between levels. At June 30, 2015, $116.7 million of the Company's marketable securities had a contractual maturity of one year or less and $62.3 million had a contractual maturity of one to two years.

5. Stockholders' equity

Equity incentive plans

The Company has outstanding equity grants from its three stock-based employee compensation plans: the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (2014 Plan), the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (2010 Plan), and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). No shares have been issued under the 2010 Plan since June 2014. The 2014 Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards (RSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs), stock appreciation rights, stock bonus awards, and performance awards to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants. Options granted under the 2014 Plan generally expire within 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over four years. Options with performance or market-based conditions are generally subject to a required service period along with the performance or market condition. RSUs granted under the 2014 Plan generally vest either annually or quarterly over three or four years based upon on continued service. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market values of the stock as of the beginning or the end of six-month offering periods. For additional information regarding the Company's equity incentive plans, please refer to the footnotes to the audited financial statements contained in its 2014 Annual Report.

Stock option activity

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information is as follows:



	Options outstanding
(shares in thousands)	Shares		Weighted- average exercise price		Weighted- average grant date fair value		Total intrinsic value of exercises (in thousands)		Aggregate intrinsic value (in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2014:	25,134		$	6.62					$	1,425,339

Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2015	17,531		$	9.36					$	764,744

At June 30, 2015, there was $61.9 million of unearned stock-based compensation expense related to unvested options, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.46 years.

Restricted stock units

The cost of RSUs is determined using the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company also has issued RSUs with both a market condition and service condition. The Company estimated the fair value of these market-based RSUs using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the date of grant. A summary of the Company’s RSU activity is as follows:



(shares in thousands)	Shares		Weighted- average grant date fair value
Non-vested shares at December 31, 2014	4,307		$	21.98
Granted	603		48.43
Vested	(1,083	)	15.84
Forfeited	(27	)	74.61
Non-vested shares at June 30, 2015	3,800		$	27.55

In June 2014, the Company granted an award of 4.5 million RSUs to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO RSUs), which included 1.5 million RSUs that vested immediately upon grant and 3.0 million RSUs that were subject to a market-based condition and a service condition. In January 2015, the market-based condition was achieved and the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $6.0 million and $21.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, $14.5 million of total unearned compensation costs related to the CEO RSUs is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of 2.0 years.

At June 30, 2015, there was $72.0 million of unearned stock-based compensation related to RSUs (including the CEO RSUs), which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.27 years.

Stock contributions

In the second quarter of 2015, the CEO contributed an aggregate 4,858,180 shares of Class B common stock to the Company without consideration per the terms of a Contribution Agreement dated December 28, 2011, and amended on May 11, 2015. Under the original Contribution Agreement, the CEO agreed to contribute back to the Company from time to time the same number of shares of common stock as are issued to a certain Company employee upon the exercise of certain stock options held by such employee. Pursuant to this agreement, the CEO contributed back to the Company 180,000 shares of Class B common stock in April 2015. In May 2015, the CEO contributed back to the Company 4,678,180 shares of Class B common stock pursuant to the amended agreement, representing all of the then remaining shares subject to the contribution obligations. All of the shares contributed by the CEO were subsequently retired during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Employee stock purchase plan

On February 13, 2015, a purchase under the Company's ESPP was made and employees purchased an aggregate of 313,233 shares at a price of $20.40 per share. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP. At June 30, 2015, there was $0.5 million of unearned stock-based compensation related to the Company’s ESPP, which is expected to be recognized over 0.12 years.

Stock-based compensation expense

The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards, including stock options, RSUs, and purchases under the Company's ESPP, based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options granted and purchases under the Company's ESPP is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s valuation assumptions for measuring compensation expense from those disclosed in the footnotes to the audited financial statements contained in its 2014 Annual Report.

6. Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers shares issued upon the early exercise of options subject to repurchase and non-vested restricted shares to be participating securities, because holders of such shares have a non-forfeitable right to dividends. Additionally, prior to the date of the Company's initial public offering (IPO) in June 2014, the Company considered its redeemable convertible preferred stock to be participating securities due to their non-cumulative dividend rights. Immediately after the completion of the Company's IPO, all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock converted to Class B common stock.

The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the stockholder into one share of Class A common stock and has no expiration date. Each share of Class B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon the date when the outstanding shares of Class B common stock represent less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock then outstanding. Class A common stock is not convertible into Class B common stock.

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All participating securities are excluded from basic weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including all potentially dilutive common shares.

Undistributed earnings are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of common shares as if the earnings for the year have been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. The computation of the diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of Class B common stock.

7. Income tax expense

The Company's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in that quarter.

	Three months ended						Six months ended
(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015			June 30, 2014			June 30, 2015			June 30, 2014
Income tax expense	$	11,229		$	1,639		$	14,501		$	5,521
Effective tax rate	24.3		%	(9.0		)%	21.9		%	(168.8		)%

The Company’s income tax expense was $11.2 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $14.5 million and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s provision for income taxes in each period has differed from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due to state taxes, the effect of non-U.S. operations, deductible and non-deductible stock-based compensation expense, non-deductible acquisition-related costs, tax credits and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits. The higher income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014, was primarily due to higher worldwide pre-tax income. The negative tax rates for the same periods in 2014 were primarily attributable to the impact of net losses that are not benefited, foreign withholding taxes, and non-deductible stock based compensation offset, in part, by research tax credits.

The Company is currently under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2012 and 2013. The U.S. federal and U.S. state taxing authorities may choose to audit tax returns for tax years beyond the statute of limitation period due to significant tax attribute carryforwards from prior years, making adjustments only to carryforward attributes. The Company is also currently under examination by the California Franchise Tax Board for tax years 2011 and 2012. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, they may have a material negative impact on the Company's results of operations.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $17.7 million and $16.6 million, respectively. If recognized, $17.7 million of the unrecognized tax benefits (net of federal benefit) at June 30, 2015 would be recorded as a reduction of the income tax provision in future periods. Management believes events that could occur in the next 12 months and cause a material change in unrecognized tax benefits include, but are not limited to, the completion of examinations by the U.S. or foreign taxing authorities, and the expiration of statute of limitations on the Company's tax returns. The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. Management regularly assesses the Company's tax positions in light of legislative, bilateral tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which it does business. It is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within the next 12 months. However, the range of the reasonably possible change cannot be reliably estimated.

8. Related parties

The Company has agreements for certain contract manufacturing and engineering services with a vendor affiliated with one of the Company's investors. In the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company made payments of $0.2 million and $11.4 million, respectively, for services rendered. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no accounts payable associated with this vendor.

The Company incurs costs for company-related chartered aircraft fees for the use of the CEO’s private plane. In the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company made payments of $0.7 million and zero, respectively.

In 2013, the Company entered into a three-year agreement with a company affiliated with the son of one of the members of the Company's Board of Directors to acquire certain naming rights to a sprint kart race track. As consideration for these naming rights, the Company would pay a total of $0.5 million in installments beginning in October 2013 over the naming rights period. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has made cumulative payments of $0.4 million and also provided 100 GoPro capture devices at no cost each year over the term of the agreement.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnification. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.

10. Concentrations of risk and segment information

Segment information

The Company operates as one operating segment as it only reports financial information on an aggregate and consolidated basis to its CEO, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

Customer concentration

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes that credit risk in its accounts receivable is mitigated by the Company’s credit evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and dispersion of its customer base. The Company generally does not require collateral and losses on trade receivables have historically been within management’s expectations.

The Company had the following customers who represented 10% or more of its net accounts receivable balance:



	June 30, 2015	December 31, 2014
A	19%	17%
B	15%	*
C	11%	14%
D	*	11%

* Less than 10% of total accounts receivable for the period indicated

The Company sold accounts receivables, without recourse, of $50.4 million and $37.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $85.7 million and $69.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, to a third-party banking institution. Factoring fees of $0.4 million and $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $0.7 million and $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were included in other expense, net.

Customers with revenue equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue were as follows:



	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 30, 2015	June 30, 2014	June 30, 2015	June 30, 2014
A	16%	17%	14%	15%

Supplier concentration

The Company relies on third parties for the supply and manufacture of its capture devices, some of which are sole-source suppliers. The Company believes that outsourcing manufacturing enables greater scale and flexibility. As demand and product lines change, the Company periodically evaluates the need and advisability of adding manufacturers to support its operations. In instances where a supply and manufacture agreement does not exist or suppliers fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers or satisfactorily deliver its products to its customers on time, if at all. The Company also relies on third parties with whom it outsources supply chain activities related to inventory warehousing, order fulfillment, distribution and other direct sales logistics.

Geographic and other information

Revenue by geographic region, based on ship-to destinations, was as follows:



	Three months ended				Six months ended
(in thousands)	June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014		June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014
Americas	$	212,350	$	152,710	$	392,443	$	277,876
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)	137,186		67,043		276,265		151,217
Asia and Pacific area countries (APAC)	70,383		24,852		114,320		51,228
	$	419,919	$	244,605	$	783,028	$	480,321

Revenue in the United States, which is included in the Americas geographic region, was $189.1 million and $132.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $344.4 million and $243.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company reclassified four countries it had previously included in the APAC geographical region to now be included in the EMEA geographical region. This caused $8.3 million of revenue to be reclassified from the APAC region to the EMEA region for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company does not disclose revenue by product category as it does not track sales incentives and other revenue adjustments by product category to report such data.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, long-lived assets, which represent gross property and equipment, located outside the United States, primarily in China, were $43.5 million and $25.4 million, respectively.

Overview

GoPro is transforming the way consumers capture, manage, share and enjoy meaningful life experiences. We do this by enabling people to capture compelling, immersive photo and video content of themselves participating in their favorite activities. The volume and quality of their shared GoPro content, coupled with their enthusiasm for our brand, are virally driving awareness and demand for our products. We sell capture devices and also mountable and wearable accessories that enable professional quality capture at affordable prices, and to date these products have generated substantially all of our revenue. In addition, we enhance our product offering by providing GoPro App and GoPro Studio, free software solutions to consumers that address the pain points of managing, editing and sharing content.

We sell our products both directly and through distributors. Our direct channel includes big box, mid-market and independent specialty retailers, as well as our website. We use our distribution channel to sell both domestically and internationally and into certain specialty markets.

Second quarter 2015 highlights

We recorded second quarter revenue of $419.9 million and net income of $35.0 million, an increase of 72% and 277%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2014. Our growth was enabled by strong demand for our current HERO4 family and HERO capture devices and the overall expanding market acceptance of our products. During the second quarter of 2015, we introduced the HERO+ LCD to our HERO line of capture devices, which began shipping in May 2015, and the HERO4 Session, which began shipping in late June 2015. As of June 30, 2015, our products were sold to customers in more than 100 countries and through more than 40,000 retail outlets. Sales outside of the United States represented 55% and 46% of our revenue for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 56% and 49% of our revenue for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Key business metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions.



	Three months ended				Six months ended
(in thousands)	June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014		June 30, 2015		June 30, 2014

Non-GAAP net income	$	50,715	$	11,774	$	86,334	$	26,056

•

Units shipped. Units shipped represents the number of individual packaged camera units that are shipped during a reporting period, net of any returns. We monitor units shipped on a daily basis as it is a key indicator of revenue trends for a reporting period. We use units shipped to help optimize our fulfillment operations and shipment allocations in order to better maintain operating efficiencies and improve customer satisfaction.


•	Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of: provision for income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, point-of-purchase (POP) display amortization, and stock-based compensation.


•	Non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP net income represents net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, and taxes related to the tax effect of these adjustments. Acquisition-related costs include the amortization of acquired intangible assets as well as third-party transaction costs incurred for legal and other professional services.

We use the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income to help us understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short-term and long-term operational plans. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. You should consider Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income alongside other financial performance measures, including our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA:

Factors affecting performance

We believe that our future success will be dependent on many factors, including those further discussed below. While these areas represent opportunities for us, they also represent challenges and risks that we must successfully address in order to continue the growth of our business and improve our results of operations.

Investing in research and development. We believe that our performance is significantly dependent on the investments we make in research and development and that we must continually develop and introduce innovative new products, enhance existing products and effectively stimulate customer demand for existing and future products. If we fail to innovate and enhance our product offerings, our brand, market position and revenue may be adversely affected. Further, if our research and development efforts are not successful, we will not recover the investments that we make in this aspect of our business.

Investing in sales and marketing. We intend to continue to invest significant resources in our marketing, advertising and brand management efforts. Sales and marketing investments will often occur in advance of any sales benefits from these activities, and it may be difficult for us to determine if we are efficiently allocating our resources in this area.

Leveraging software, services and media content. We expect to increase our investment in the development of software and services as well as the GoPro Network and its related content. We believe we have significant opportunities to establish new revenue streams from these investments. However, we do not have significant experience deriving revenue from the distribution of GoPro content, and we cannot be assured that these investments will result in increased revenue or profitability.

Expanding into new vertical markets and growing internationally. Our long-term growth will depend in part on our continued ability to expand our customer base and increase revenue and our presence in international markets. We intend to expand into new vertical markets and to increase our presence globally through the active promotion of our brand, the formation of strategic partnerships, the introduction of new products and the growth of our international sales channel.

Seasonality. Historically, we have experienced the highest levels of revenue in the fourth quarter of the year, coinciding with the holiday shopping season in the United States and Europe. Timely and effective product introductions and forecasting, whether just prior to the holiday season or otherwise, are critical to our operations and financial performance.

Revenue in the second quarter and the first six months of 2015 increased $175.3 million, or 72%, and $302.7 million, or 63%, compared to the same periods in 2014. The year-over-year growth was driven primarily by continued strong demand for our HERO4 Silver and Black capture devices, and to a lesser extent, the release of our new HERO+ LCD and HERO4 Session capture devices. Units shipped increased 93% to 1.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 from 0.9 million in the same period in 2014. Revenue increased in each of our primary geographical regions of the Americas, APAC, and EMEA in both the second quarter and the first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014.

We expect revenue to increase in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of 2014 and second quarter of 2015.

Cost of revenue, gross profit and gross profit margin

(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015			June 30, 2014			$ Change		% Change		June 30, 2015			June 30, 2014			$ Change		% Change

Gross profit margin	46.3		%	42.1		%					45.7		%	41.5		%

Gross profit margin in the second quarter and the first six months of 2015 increased to 46.3% and 45.7%, respectively, from 42.1% and 41.5% in the same periods in 2014. The increase in both periods was primarily due to a favorable mix shift to the higher margin HERO4 Black and Silver capture devices. Gross product margin will fluctuate in the future based upon product, distributor, and geographical mix.

Operating expenses

Research and development	$	58,453	$	34,663	$	23,790		69	%	$	107,890	$	63,402	$	44,488	70	%

Total operating expenses represented 35% and 37% of revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared to 49% and 42% for the same periods in 2014, respectively.

Research and development expenses in the second quarter and the first six months of 2015 increased $23.8 million and $44.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. The increases in both periods were primarily attributable to increases in personnel-related costs of $9.6 million and $17.8 million, respectively, resulting from a 76% growth in employee headcount from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015, as well as increases in consulting and outside professional service costs of $9.2 million and $14.5 million, respectively, and increases in allocated facilities, depreciation and other supporting overhead expenses of $2.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expenses increased $2.1 million and $4.2 million in the second quarter and the first six months of 2015, respectively. These higher expenses were primarily driven by investments to support the development of our next generation of devices, content enabling software solutions, and other new products and technologies, including quadcopters.

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter and the first six months of 2015 increased $19.8 million and $34.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. The increases in both periods were primarily attributable to increases in personnel-related costs of $6.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively, resulting from a 69% growth in employee headcount from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015, as well as increases in advertising and promotional activity costs associated with our new product launches of $6.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively, and increases in consulting and outside professional service costs of $1.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expenses increased $1.3 million and $2.9 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively.

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter and the first six months of 2015 decreased $14.9 million and increased $10.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. Stock-based compensation decreased $19.5 million and $1.0 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, primarily due to the timing of expense attributable to the issuance of 4.5 million RSUs to our CEO in June 2014 and the achievement of certain market conditions in January 2015. (See Note 5 "Stockholders' Equity" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.) Additionally, personnel-related costs increased $1.8 million and $5.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively,

resulting from a 47% growth in employee headcount from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

We expect total operating expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the third quarter of 2015, compared to the the third quarter in 2014 and second quarter of 2015, with a majority of the increase occurring in research and development and sales and marketing.

Provision for income taxes



	Three months ended										Six months ended
(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015			June 30, 2014			$ Change		% Change		June 30, 2015			June 30, 2014			$ Change		% Change
Income tax expense	$	11,229		$	1,639		$	9,590	585	%	$	14,501		$	5,521		$	8,980	163	%
Effective tax rate	24.3		%	(9.0		)%					21.9		%	(168.8		)%

Income tax expense in the second quarter and the first six months of 2015 increased $9.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to higher worldwide pre-tax income. The negative tax rates for the same periods in 2014 were primarily attributable to the impact of net losses that are not benefited, foreign withholding taxes, and non-deductible stock based compensation offset, in part, by research tax credits. Our provision for income taxes in each period has differed from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due to state taxes, the effect of non-U.S. operations, deductible and non-deductible stock-based compensation expense, non-deductible acquisition-related costs and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits. (See Note 7 "Income Taxes" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2015, our principal sources of liquidity were our cash and cash equivalents of $338.0 million and marketable securities of $179.0 million. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are comprised primarily of money market funds, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, commercial paper and corporate debt securities. As of June 30, 2015, $84.2 million of cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We do not presently anticipate a need to repatriate these funds for use in our domestic operations, but if we were to do so, any such repatriated cash and cash equivalents could be subject to U.S. income taxes, less any previously paid foreign income taxes.

We believe our existing cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products, and overall economic conditions. We have completed several acquisitions and we expect to evaluate additional possible acquisitions of, or strategic investments in, businesses, products, and technologies that are complementary to our business, which may require the use of cash.

To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Cash flows

The following table sets forth the major components of our consolidated statements of cash flows data for the periods presented:



	Six months ended
(in thousands)	June 30, 2015			June 30, 2014			Percent Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	132,141		$	6,749		1,858	%
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(156,855	)	$	(15,569	)	907	%
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	44,375		$	12,289		261	%

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash flow provided by operating activities of $132.1 million during the first six months of 2015 was comprised of $51.8 million in net income, adjusted for $52.8 million of certain non-cash items (including share-based compensation expense of $44.7 million), and cash inflow of $27.6 million that resulted from the effect of changes in working capital and other carrying balances. The increase in cash flow from operating activities of $125.4 million during the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to a $60.6 million increase in net income, as adjusted for the non-cash items described above, as well as favorable changes of $57.8 million in working capital accounts.

Cash flows from investing activities

Our primary investing activities consisted of purchases and sales of marketable securities, purchases of property and equipment, and business acquisitions. Cash used in investing activities was $156.9 million during the first six months of 2015 and resulted from $112.3 million for purchases of marketable securities, $21.3 million for purchases of property and equipment, and $57.7 million for business acquisitions, partially offset by $34.4 million for net sales and maturities of marketable securities. Cash used in investing activities was $15.6 million during the first six months of 2014 and resulted from $12.7 million for purchases of property and equipment and $3.2 million for business acquisitions. The increase in cash outflow in 2015 was primarily due to purchases of marketable securities and business acquisition activity. We did not hold any marketable securities during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Cash flows from financing activities

Our primary financing activities consisted of issuances of securities under our common stock plans. Cash provided by financing activities was $44.4 million during the first six months of 2015 and resulted from $21.5 million in proceeds received from employee stock option exercises and stock purchases made through our ESPP, as well as $28.1 million of excess tax benefit from stock award activities. Cash used by financing activities was $12.3 million during the first six months of 2014, which primarily resulted from $20.9 million of excess tax benefit partially offset by $6.0 million for the repayment of debt. The increase in cash flow in 2015 was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of shares under our common stock plans, including the first purchase under our ESPP in February 2015.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2015, and the effect those contractual obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years are presented in Note 9 "Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can significantly impact the amounts we report as assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and the related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

We believe that our accounting policies and estimates associated with revenue recognition (including sales incentives), inventory, POP displays, warranty, income taxes, goodwill, acquired intangible assets and other long-lived assets, and stock-based compensation are critical to understanding our historical and future performance as these policies involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign currency risk

To date, a majority of our product sales and inventory purchases have been denominated in U.S. dollars. We therefore have had insignificant foreign currency risk associated with these two activities. The functional currency of all of our entities is the U.S. dollar. Our operations outside of the United States incur a portion of their operating expenses in foreign currencies, principally the Euro and the Hong Kong Dollar. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, we believe that the exposure to foreign currency fluctuation from operating expenses is immaterial at this time as the related costs do not constitute a significant portion of our total expenses. As we grow our operations, or if foreign currency held in our U.S. dollar functional currency entities increases, our exposure to foreign currency risk could become more significant. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency exchange contracts. We analyzed our foreign currency exposure to identify assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies. For those assets and liabilities, we evaluated the effects of a 10% shift in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. We have determined that there would be an immaterial effect on our results of operations from such a shift.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are comprised primarily of money market funds, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, commercial paper and corporate debt securities. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal and provide liquidity without significantly increasing risk. Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of approximately $13 million in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015. Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2015, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) were effective at the reasonable assurance

level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company and e.Digital Corporation reached a settlement agreement regarding patent infringement litigation filed against the Company in December 2012. The settlement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see Note 9, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risks described in "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There have been no material changes in such risks. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Sales of unregistered securities

Not applicable

Use of proceeds

On June 25, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-196083) effective for our IPO.
