SAN DIEGO, CA – November 6, 2025 – Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: TBCH, the “Company”), a leading gaming accessories brand, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 and reiterated full year guidance for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

Third Quarter Highlights

Net revenue was $80.5 million.
Gross margin improved to 37.4%, an increase of nearly 120 basis points compared to the prior year.
Net income of $1.7 million.
Adjusted EBITDA of $11.0 million.
Repurchased over $10 million of Turtle Beach shares during the quarter at an average purchase price of $14.40 per share.
Refinanced the Company’s existing term loan and credit facility, reducing the cost of capital on the term loan by over 450 basis points.
Reiterating full year revenue guidance of $340 - $360 million and full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $47 - $53 million.

 

 

“Our third quarter performance reflects strong operational execution and continued momentum across Turtle Beach,” said Cris Keirn, Chief Executive Officer, Turtle Beach Corporation. “Gross margins improved nearly 120 basis points year-over-year to more than 37%, demonstrating the tangible benefits of our ongoing cost optimization initiatives. Our refinancing earlier in the quarter further strengthened our balance sheet, providing enhanced flexibility to invest strategically in innovation and growth.

 

“We’re delivering on our strategy to profitably expand Turtle Beach’s gaming accessories portfolio across key platforms and categories. Since Q2, we’ve launched or announced more than 40 new products, including our first officially licensed PlayStation headsets, a complete range of Nintendo-licensed accessories, and exciting additions for PC gaming and simulation. With strong product momentum and multiple industry growth drivers ahead, we’re primed to capture significant growth opportunities and enhance long-term shareholder returns.”

 

Share Repurchases

During the third quarter, Turtle Beach continued its commitment of returning capital to shareholders primarily through a transaction with existing shareholder, Diversis Capital, in which the Company repurchased approximately 695,000 shares for $10 million. This transaction brings year-to-date share repurchases to


 

approximately $17 million, reinforcing share buybacks as a cornerstone of Turtle Beach’s capital allocation strategy and demonstrating the Company’s confidence in its growth trajectory.

 

Debt Refinancing

During the third quarter, Turtle Beach Corporation completed a refinancing of its debt facilities; a $150 million facility comprised of a $90 million revolving credit facility and a $60 million term loan. This refinancing lowered the Company's cost of capital on the term loan by approximately 450 basis points, delivering over $2 million in expected annual interest savings while providing enhanced financial flexibility and removing prior operational limitations on share repurchases.

 

Financial Outlook

Turtle Beach Corporation is reiterating its financial outlook for the full year 2025. The Company continues to expect net revenue of $340 million to $360 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $47 million to $53 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to its reported results, the Company has included in this earnings release certain financial metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, that the Securities and Exchange Commission define as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s results. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative to the Company’s GAAP financial results and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation (non-cash), and certain non-recurring special items that we believe are not representative of core operations, as further described in Table 4. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to perform financial planning, and to determine incentive


 

compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors. The non-GAAP financial measures included herein exclude items that management does not believe reflect the Company’s core operating performance because such items are inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash. See a reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted EBITDA included as Table 4 below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024.

 

By providing full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance, the Company provided its expectation of a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. Information reconciling full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort due to the variability, complexity, and lack of visibility with respect to certain reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss), including other income (expense), provision for income taxes and stock-based compensation. These items cannot be reasonably and accurately predicted without the investment of undue time, cost and other resources and, accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA outlook to its net income (loss) outlook for such periods is not provided. These reconciling items could be material to the Company’s actual results for such periods.
