Gross profit was $119.3 million, with gross margin improving to 37.3% from 34.6% in the prior year, primarily due to the absence of a fair value step-up adjustment to acquired inventory related to the PDP acquisition.

The company generated $35.5 million in net cash from operating activities.

Turtle Beach Corporation reported FY 2025 net revenue of $319.9 million, a decrease of $52.9 million (14.2%) from $372.8 million in FY 2024. The decline was attributed to lower demand for gaming accessories. Despite the revenue decrease, gross profit margin improved to 37.3% from 34.6%, primarily due to the absence of a $2.1 million fair value step-up adjustment to acquired inventory recorded in FY 2024 related to the PDP acquisition, partially offset by higher tariffs in 2025. Operating income increased to $27.5 million from $20.0 million, driven by the improved gross margin and disciplined cost management, including a $9.4 million insurance recovery related to a 2024 inventory loss. Net income was $15.7 million ($0.77 diluted EPS) compared to $16.2 million ($0.78 diluted EPS) in the prior year. The company generated $35.5 million in net cash from operating activities.
The company operates in a single reportable segment (gaming accessories). Revenue is derived from the sale of gaming headsets, controllers, simulation accessories, and PC peripherals under the Turtle Beach and PDP brands. The 2024 acquisition of PDP expanded the company's product portfolio, particularly in the multi-platform controller category. Geographically, for FY 2025, 73.7% of net revenue was generated in the Americas ($235.7 million), 22.2% in Europe and the Middle East ($71.0 million), and 4.1% in Asia Pacific ($13.3 million). The company's business is seasonal, with over 45% of revenues typically generated between September and December. The four largest customers (Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, and another) accounted for approximately 66% of gross sales in 2025.
The gross margin improvement to 37.3% was a key highlight, driven by the absence of the prior-year acquisition-related inventory step-up charge. Operating expenses totaled $91.8 million, a decrease from $109.0 million in FY 2024, which included $10.8 million of acquisition-related costs. Excluding the $9.4 million insurance recovery and $1.4 million of acquisition-related costs in FY 2025, core operating expenses were relatively stable. Selling and marketing expense was flat at $52.5 million. Research and development expense decreased slightly to $16.9 million. General and administrative expense increased to $30.4 million, primarily due to higher stock compensation and public company costs. The operating margin was 8.6%.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $35.5 million, a significant increase from $5.8 million in FY 2024, driven by higher gross receipts, the insurance recovery, lower acquisition costs, and reduced spending. The company ended the period with $17.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. Total assets were $269.1 million, including $173.8 million in current assets (cash, accounts receivable of $76.8 million, and inventories of $69.2 million). Total liabilities were $140.6 million, including $87.7 million in current liabilities and $54.9 million in term loan debt (current and non-current). Stockholders' equity was $128.5 million. On August 1, 2025, the company entered into a new Credit Agreement providing a $90 million revolving credit facility and a $60 million term loan, maturing in 2028. As of December 31, 2025, excess borrowing availability was approximately $41.1 million.
The company's strategy focuses on advancing its Turtle Beach brand, growing its controller and simulation markets following the PDP acquisition, and targeted geographic expansion. Management believes current cash, cash flows from operations, and availability under its credit facility are sufficient to meet anticipated funding needs. Key risks noted include dependence on third-party gaming platforms and game titles, competitive pressures, supply chain disruptions, customer concentration, inflationary and tariff impacts, and the need to protect intellectual property. The company did not provide specific quantitative financial guidance for future periods in the filing.
