While revenue dropped 39.9% year-over-year to $51.3 million, the figure was still better than the Street’s expectations by ~$4.5 million. The drop in revenue was attributable to lower demand due to decreased discretionary spending and lower retailer inventories.
Further, net loss per share at $0.47 too came in narrower than estimates by $0.02.
While Turtle Beach saw gross margin pressures due to increased freight costs and lower operating leverage during Q3, the company also managed to lower its recurring operating expenses by 16% on the back of proactive expense management programs.
Looking ahead, for full-year 2022 it expects net revenue of $250 million and a net loss per share of $1.35.
Importantly, it is expanding its product portfolio with five of its six models making it to the list of top ten best-selling wireless headsets.
Turtle Beach expects to return to top-line growth and positive EBITDA in 2023 on the back of new product launches and lower expenses coupled with market challenges subsiding.
Along with Turtle Beach, another gaming accessories maker, Corsair Gaming (NASDAQ:CRSR) too is soaring higher today on the back of a third-quarter beat.
