I know. I had that one. I'm very pleased to welcome back GoPro CEO Nick Woodman and CFO Brian McGee, mainstays of the Morgan Stanley TMT conference. Thank you guys for joining us today. Thanks for having us. Thank you. You know, Nick, Nick, I think it'd be helpful to start, to, to kinda go into how this company is evolving. If, if we could kinda talk about, kind of look back on 2024, 2025 is a bit of a year of transition, but you're kind of putting in the building blocks, to, to drive a return to growth in 2026. Let's start just high level. Kinda walk us through what happened in 2024, how you're thinking how that translates into 2025, and what changes, for 2026. Maybe I'll start by focusing on 2025, which is. Sure. 2025 is all about continuing to transform GoPro to operate as a, with a lower-cost operating model, to get more leverage out of new product launches later this year and in 2026. The goal is to grow revenue, through new product launches, and to materially grow profitability, by, again, getting more leverage out of a lower-cost operating model. I mean, that is our 100% focus. The way that we expect to grow the business is to launch new products that recapture share in our core action camera market, launch new 360 cameras that grow share in the 360 camera market, which is growing. Mm-hmm. And importantly, a major focus for us is to launch new cameras, new products and services into adjacent product categories and markets that we do not yet compete in. Today, GoPro's competing in a $1.5 billion action camera TAM. Mm-hmm. up until the launch of our refreshed MAX camera a few weeks ago, which is now just shipping to stores. Yep. In 2024, we were exclusively participating in a $1.5 billion action camera TAM, whereas, by mid-2027, we're targeting participating in approximately $7 billion TAM, which is a pretty material increase in our opportunity. Yeah. That's through launching new products into adjacent categories and markets where we can leverage the camera platforms that we already have in our roadmap for our existing markets that we serve, and we can refactor them to participate and compete in adjacent markets. An example of which is, you know, the motorcycle helmet. Yep. Opportunity that we've talked about before. Yep. Right. And the way that we afford to do this with a lower-cost operating model, again, is a platform-based approach, working more closely in a JDM, joint development fashion. Mm-hmm. With our manufacturing partners and reorganizing GoPro as an organization that is entirely product development-centric, and looking at any spend or activity that isn't contributing to the development and launching of incredible products and services for our customers, and cutting those out of the business. That's. Okay. That is reflected in our OPEX outlook for the year. Yep. I was gonna ask you kind of the drivers of that efficiency, and we kind of went through those, but maybe the question that I'll ask is, you know, is that sustainable for you? Like, that's the new GoPro, meaning if and when we get to 2026 and a return to growth, that can be the operating model going forward. You kinda have enough emphasis and enough oomph in that model. Mm-hmm. To continue to drive products forward, continue to drive growth, units, subscriptions, services, etc. 1,000%. Right. That is the goal. This is not a process of reducing costs for a period of time and then, building back up from there. Right. The way that we're approaching this, is to operate this way in a sustainable fashion ongoing. Yep. and, you know, with GoPro's presence in 25,500 retail stores globally now, built back up from 19,000 stores, exiting COVID, and with our strong global brand, social reach, support of our distribution and retail partners and whatnot, our brand's incredibly strong and well-positioned to take advantage of, and maximize, sales of new products that we launch. Mm-hmm. It's, it's we recognize it's really important. We've gotta get more leverage out of the business. Yep. and do so in a lower-cost manner. Okay. Let's maybe, maybe back up and talk through the product stuff, at the heart of what you guys do. You released the flagship HERO13 Black last year. You have the new cost-effective HERO. You just released the refreshed MAX 360 a couple weeks ago. Just maybe some highlights of the product portfolio. What is the reason why people should be buying, you know, these products, and what has feedback been? GoPro always produces the highest performance, best image quality cameras in the market. Review after review, you see that. Our products are always critically acclaimed. Fortunately, they're always ranked at the top of their class. The same goes for HERO 13 Black. The same goes for HERO as an entry-level camera. It's phenomenal. For $199, what you get. Mm-hmm. It's pretty amazing. And, while we've only started selling MAX, the refreshed MAX on our website, it's currently shipping to our global distributors and retailers. Mm-hmm. The response has been fantastic. And we're really looking forward to the launch of MAX 2 later this year. Mm-hmm. Which we think is going to also reset the bar for the 360 camera market. When you pair our hardware experience with our software experience, and more so through the GoPro subscription where your GoPro camera auto-uploads its content to the cloud while the camera's charging, you can access and edit that footage using the GoPro app. Yeah. The full experience is unmatched by any of our competitors. Mm-hmm. As a result, we're seeing a, you know, really strong retention in our subscription business, which tells you that the value that we're providing from start to finish for consumers is best in class. Right. Right. I think that was once an argument that people would make is you take footage and then you don't know what to do with it, and you're effectively hand-holding people now to say, "Here, we'll make it easy for you. We'll give you the tools to even edit it." Can we quickly touch on MAX 2? I know you don't want to necessarily give away any special details, but just help us understand what's so important about the 360 cam market. You talked about it being a growing market. Obviously, that's one aspect, but, you know, are you seeing kind of a shift away from that core user that's kind of going up to the 360 camera and any details you can give us or hints about kind of where you plan to bring innovation and differentiation versus the original MAX? There's a bit of cannibalization from three from the action camera market into 360. Mm-hmm. Then, the data shows that the 360 camera market's also TAM expanding, which is exciting for us. It's really exciting considering, you know, we didn't have any 360 camera sell-in in 2024. That was all sell-through. Yep. Of our MAX inventory. The reintroduction of a refreshed MAX just a few weeks ago, which again is shipping to our global retailers today, as we speak, that's exciting for us 'cause that's obviously a new revenue opportunity for us again to be re-entering that market. In terms of MAX 2, yeah, I mean, we believe based on sale of our other products, the sale of MAX back in 2023 when we sold our last units in Q4, it was 35% of the market. That was with a, then, we'll call it three-year-old product. Mm-hmm. And as well, the feedback from our retailers around the world who are extremely excited for us to re-enter that market with MAX 2. Yep. And with a new flagship, we're pretty excited about it. Okay. Great. And, you know, the other thing I wanted to just kinda quickly touch on is the TAM expansion 'cause you're talking about a kind of 4X plus TAM expansion. When we think about adjacencies to the degree that you can talk to, I know you mentioned kind of Forcite as an example, but what are some of the adjacencies that get you from kind of a billion and a half TAM to a $7 billion TAM? Well. I know there's services in there as well. Yeah. I'm not gonna go into specifics about products just due for competitive, Sure. Reasons, but what I can say is, the adjacent product categories and markets that we intend to enter are all well within our wheelhouse. They relate directly to GoPro's brand today, they're products that people would expect from GoPro. We believe our ability to be successful with these new product introductions is, it's a ripe opportunity for us. Good. In each event. Good. And maybe before we turn it over to Brian, I just wanna, Nick, maybe elaborate on the channel strategy, you know, shifting from DTC during the pandemic, clear reasons why, to now opening more retail doors. Kinda how far along are we in this kind of expansion of retail doors? What's the goal and, and kind of how do we think about the impact of that? What's the ultimate, what's the ultimate end status goal of this change or transition, let's call it? The strategy is to set ourselves up for successful launch of new products with a, you know, a global network of retailers where our brand is presented in a best-in-class manner, supported by the retailers, supported by our global distributors, which, that work is largely done. Mm-hmm. That investment is largely made. That's part of how we're reducing our OPEX this year is we don't have to make those investments anymore. Got it. As I mentioned, coming out of COVID, we were at about 19,000 doors globally, down from 32,000 doors pre-COVID. We're back up to approximately 25,500 doors today, and we'll end the year somewhere between there and 26,000 doors. The total addressable doors that we have through our distributors is about 30,000, and that will be a slower process from here out reaching that number over time. Okay. I'm happy to say that that investment's made. Okay. Cool. Brian, let's turn to you. You know, you guided to about $125 million of revenue in 1Q. That's based on a bit over 420,000 units of sell-through. I think it's 425,000 of sell-through. We're about two-thirds of the way through the quarter. Just any comments you can share on how the quarter is tracking, how sell-through is tracking, characterizing the demand landscape, etc.? Yeah. Sell-through is on track, for 425 for the quarter, which is good news. We actually saw a nice uptick in February from January, so that's continuing to build momentum as we work our way through the quarter. I think the other point I'll make, you talk about OPEX when we're talking about kinda growth. We'll reduce OPEX about $100 million or so year-over-year. About 75% of that is in sales and marketing G&A, and about the other 25% is in R&D. So we're continuing to invest in R&D to drive that roadmap to achieve that TAM. I'll say roughly 20%, 80% of that 25%, Eric, is related to GP3. Mm-hmm. We've spent the money for the new chip that's now, about to be, you know, come out. Those expenses are done. Mm-hmm. The rest of the efficiency in R&D is really more around how we do OEDM, JDM. We decided to, you know, give up on desktop, and so we're leveraging that as we work our way. Okay. The amount of money we're spending on innovation continues. Yep. That's how we're able to drive forward. We're leveraging the rest of the business in order to spend money to drive product development. Okay. You know, something I noticed, you know, for one Q, you're kinda guiding to a channel inventory reduction. You've done a good job at managing the channel, and at the same time, you're actually expanding retail doors. Is this reduction, you know, again, as I'm thinking about the setup for 2026, you know, is this reduction kind of intended to get you ready for these new products, get the channel clear, kinda get old product out of there, and kinda be able to move into 2026 with kinda like a clean slate, so to speak? Yeah. There's some of that. I think in Q1, we took channel inventory down a lot in Q4. Yep. As you noticed, it comes down about 10% in Q1. It does help to build some of that momentum for Q2, Q3, and Q4. That is a typical pattern we see in Q1. I'd say the other thing we talked about, which is a bigger move, is our own inventory. Mm-hmm. We expect it to go from about $120 million, I think, exiting Q4 to under $100 million, exiting Q1. We'll continue to drive our own inventory down to be more efficient in how we manage SKUs and factories. It's not just channel. It's our own inventory as well. Okay. Can we, I'd like to talk through kinda the pricing dynamics too this year, because Q1 ASP is of about $365. That's down, you know, high single digits year-over-year, but you're guiding to ASP growth for the entirety of 2025. Help us understand how you kinda get from that Q1 decline to the full year growth. Is it simply new products or, you know, what is it? What is it that's gonna help you go on that trajectory? Yeah. It's really mixed, and you have to remember. Okay. Q1's our lowest. Yep. revenue point anyway, so from a seasonality perspective. I would say that about half of the move is due to, as you know, we guided revenue down. That means units are down, but our subscription revenue is basically flat. Mm-hmm. year-over-year. We pick up, we have the numerator with the lower denominator, so about half that pickup is just due to that. Right. and then the rest is due to mix as we come out with newer products. Okay. I think it'd be helpful. You guys, talked about this on the earnings call, but I just wanna give you the chance to do it again. Just talking about tariffs, you've, you've done a lot of supply chain work to mitigate the impact of, of tariffs. Maybe just touch on that first, and then the second question to follow that is really the different puts and takes that we should be thinking about for the trajectory of margins 'cause that's another area where you're doing a lot of work in terms of cost downs for new products, managing FX. You also have, you know, a weak market backdrop that you're fighting through but still driving margins higher. Touch on tariffs and then touch on the kind of the puts and takes on, on gross margins. Yeah. On tariff, we've done a terrific job managing supply chain. We call it China plus one. Our cameras are fully diversified, and we manufacture cameras in Thailand for US consumption, China for the rest of the world. That has eliminated tariffs there. Even at the accessory level, we've moved large, not entirely, but mostly out of China into other geographies. That has taken our tariff expense from high $20 million to basically this year will be near zero. The team's done a terrific job, you know, on that. As I think about margins, we talked about on the conference call, we were at 34% margin in 2024. We expect to be 35% in 2025. That is largely driven by cost reduction. We get the benefit of a higher percentage of our subscription business as part of the mix, which is over 70 percentage points of margin. That is a nice benefit when you lower the numbers. We will come out with newer products that, again, drive margin expansion, you know, for the business. We continue to optimize, you know, our freight cost, duty, warranty. You know, one of the things Nick talked about, how we are best in class in HERO 13, HERO 12, and now the other products we come out with. We have also done an incredible job at improving the quality of that production as well. Mm-hmm. Development. And our return rates, our warranty rates, they're like half or better than what they've ever been historically as a company, which were already low. I mean, we already built great products. We're just making them even better. All those things really stack up to drive margin. Great. More operating efficiency in the business. You touched on subscriptions there. I wanna pivot it back to you, Nick, and kinda touch on the subscription part of the business, because with the shifting kinda go-to-market emphasis, you have shifted the value proposition of what I still call GoPro Plus. I know it's not GoPro anymore. Oh, a long time ago. Yes. I can't get my mind off of it. Can you just talk to us about the features that subscribers care the most about when it comes to the platform that you offer on the subscription side, you know, what you've added, what you're adding, and what this means for the subscription story, for GoPro? Yeah. The GoPro subscription's all about convenience. As you noted, in the early days of GoPro, we created a problem, by making it so easy to capture all these life experiences, then you had the burden of what do you do with all the footage? Right. That footage was stuck on people's SD cards. They weren't even watching it. We developed the GoPro subscription to make it easy for people to offload and access content. It's as easy as plugging your GoPro in to charge, and your content goes up to the cloud, and we create an automatic edit for you that you get a notification on your phone that, "Hey, we have a highlight video that we've prepared for you." It just helps drive engagement. You can go interact with your content in the cloud via the app and edit in the cloud without downloading it to your phone. The whole experience is super streamlined. Yep. At the highest level, that's the primary benefit that is getting people to subscribe and engage and stay subscribers because it's sticky. Once you are hosting somebody's content in the cloud, and it's GoPro content, these are meaningful experiences for people that, and knowing that it's hosted in the cloud at its original content, I mean, sorry, original quality, that was a big improvement that we made years ago that really drove up uptick and engagement. And then as we add new features and continue to make it easier for people to edit and get more out of their content, we see engagement growing. Mm-hmm. For example, when we just launched a few weeks ago an updated 360 editing experience in the app, we saw material increases in engagement amongst our 360 camera owners, and how much they were editing and sharing their content. Yep. There is a direct benefit to driving subscriber acquisition, engagement, and retention when we continue to improve that experience. That is terrific. As a result, we are seeing historic highs in terms of retention, if you want to talk about that. Yeah. I was gonna ask. Like, churn, retention, you guys have been very transparent about that. So Brian, just maybe walk us through how that's changed. I'm proud of it. Yeah. Yeah. No, the retention part's done, done exceptionally well. Our, you know, aggregate retention a few years ago was about 63% to 64%. We ended last year at 69%. Actually, even this quarter, we're pushing up over 70% now. I mean, for a consumer electronics business. Yeah. That kinda retention is, is big. I mean, it's up to, it's not SaaS 'cause you gotta be 90-something percent, but that's not our, our full business, right? That-that's been pretty incredible. Even the, the attach rates have improved, you know, substantially. Over the last few years, gone from, you know, lows of 10%, put it into 15%, got to 30%. We, you know, last year, we ran 42% attach on, on aggregate, right? Even that's improved, quite well, on GoPro.com as well as even in retail. Yeah. Right? Yeah. the attach when people buy at retail and then they come back and sign up on the app or on GoPro.com. Like a pretty cool stat too in terms of how much is being utilized. There's over 12 million hours of GoPro customer content. Wow. in this, our subscriber cloud. Wow. It grew how many hours last year? Three and a half. We. Three and a half million hours alone last year, I believe. I believe. It's impressive growth. Before anybody freaks out about the storage cost, remember Brian shared that it's over 70% gross margin. Yeah. We worked the cost side, didn't you? It's all good. Nick, can you, you know, I, I know we kinda talked about the TAM question earlier. We, we, you mentioned Forcite. I mentioned Forcite. You know, it's one of the most recent acquisitions that you guys have done. You know, I think that's maybe a good example of, of maybe characterizing how you think about TAM expansion. Can you just maybe revisit, you know, the reason for that and, and what that, what, what acquiring them brings to GoPro that maybe you, you hadn't or couldn't do fully organically, or maybe this just accelerates what you were doing organically? Yeah. Just as a reminder, Forcite was an Australian tech-enabled helmet company that we acquired to help facilitate our own development of tech-enabled motorcycle helmets. Mm-hmm. We shared that our strategy is to launch our own branded helmets as well as work with other leading brands to help tech-enable their own helmets. That is an example of an embedded camera opportunity where we believe it just makes sense that there are GoPro cameras and other technologies integrated into a product like that. Mm-hmm. because it's just a better user experience. In the specific case and why we chose to enter the motorcycle helmet market is that GoPro has a really strong brand and reputation in that consumer activity. Mm-hmm. Both on the street and on the track. Our brand has been present in motorsports since 2008. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's a slow-moving industry from a technology perspective. We saw an opportunity to be a bit disruptive and bring new value and capability to an otherwise sleepy industry. We recognize that we don't have a brand for helmets. Mm-hmm. We're being smart about who we partner with and how we develop our products so that it's authentic and accepted by consumers as being legitimate. Mm-hmm. Because obviously, a big part of the helmet industry is safety, and we recognize that through some brand partnerships, we can gain that authenticity pretty quickly. So that's going well. Mm-hmm. and then also, as a part of, you know, GoPro's long-term vision, we view embedding cameras in other things that people are already using as a significant opportunity for us. Like, the GoPro today builds and sells cameras on the shelves of ski shops, surf shops, Best Buy, MediaMarkt, etc. Mm-hmm. Around the world. Mm-hmm. Amazon, what have you. That's a great foundation for us to go and grow into new markets by taking that capability performance of a GoPro, but making it more convenient by streamlining it into something that you already own and are using. We see that embedded approach being significant over time to help us diversify, help us grow our TAM into much bigger markets than we're in today. Motorcycle helmets will be one of the first examples of that. Right. Okay. Super helpful. And kinda gives us a feeling for how we can think about that $1.5 billion to $7 billion. Not just about motorcycle helmets. Yep. Yep. You know, the other side of this, and we touched about it in subscription, is just kind of what you've been doing on software because you've done a lot when it comes to software and editing features and cloud and making it easier to use the content. Is there a way that you are changing, or maybe what are your efforts to kinda monetize that software? 'Cause the other thing you're doing is going after non-GoPro users as well with your tools. Not anymore. That's an example of narrowing our focus. Okay. Reducing cost. We're no longer going after non-GoPro owners. Very good. because the expense of doing so, we don't see the return. Yep. We're very focused on maximizing the GoPro owner experience to maximize our subscription business. Okay. and, and. Full stop. Okay. Perfect. Part of that, by the way, is, you know, Brian touched on, we eliminated our desktop application. Yep. Ambitions because that was an area of savings because when we looked at the impact that that was having on our subscriber business, the ROI wasn't what we'd hoped for. Mm-hmm. That also made it an easy decision to double down on our cloud and mobile app experience. Yep. Yep. That's what we're doing. Okay. That's super clear then. Brian, let's shift back to you and let's talk about, kind of capital structure, because you have the convert coming up, in 2025. You talked about ending 2025, I think, with kind of $50 million of cash. Just what, what are the cash needs of this business and how, how do you think about the ideal capital structure, for GoPro? You've had that convert for a long time, obviously, but just, just help us think through what the future capital structure could look like. Yeah. In terms of converts, if you go back to 2020 through 2022, I believe we had about $270 million of debt. That's now been reduced to $90 million. Mm-hmm. Million of debt. That's due in November. Yep. We have done a good job basically paying that off, from operating earnings. We expect to pay that off in November of this year and exit the year with about $50 million in cash in the bank. In addition to that, though, we have a $50 million asset-backed line with Wells Fargo. That gives us basically $100 million of operating capability to run the business, which is enough. Mm-hmm. and then, as Nick touched on it, you know, we get you get some newer products out on the back end of this year, which also helps in subscription. And then we have growth into 2026. I would expect our operating expenses to stay basically flat. Mm-hmm. From 2025 to 2026 to really drive operating leverage in the business. That's an important thing for investors to know. We're not gonna, you know, increase OPEX. And that basically, as you get a little bit of growth, margins stay at that 35% range, you generate a lot of EBITDA. Yep. Okay. We get cash. Then in 2026, we have opportunities with cash to buy back shares or continue to invest in the business. That was kinda where I was gonna go next. Yeah. What does that mean for capital allocation? Yeah. So you. I think in 2026, you'd see you could see some capital allocation where we could buy back stock. Okay. Perfect. And, before we close, we have kinda two minutes here. You know, I, Nick, maybe just end it with you and maybe start where we began, which is, you know, we're talking through some speed bumps in the market, some competitive pressures. FX has been really strong, but, you know, the vision that you guys are kind of explaining, at least in covering you for as long as I have, feels clearer than it has in a long time. There's a lot of foresight that I think you guys are bringing and willing to, you know, even if it's taking some near-term pain, set yourselves up for 2026. It's exciting to see, I'm excited to see how it plays out. Maybe just the closing message that you would wanna send to everyone as they think about GoPro as an investment, as a story, again, kind of ending where we began. What's the message you wanna send? I think you just said it. I would think about the strength of GoPro's brand globally. It's one of the strongest brands in the world. We've invested so much money and energy into it over the years, and we're really well poised to get a lot of leverage out of that in 2025, back half of 2025 and in 2026 by operating the company in a much lower-cost fashion. The reality is that we have a lot of opportunity for new products. Mm-hmm. Again, developed in a platform manner, with our existing manufacturers where we can develop variants of the products that we're making today and tomorrow in a lower-cost fashion. And we recognize that there's a significant opportunity for our brand to expand into new product categories that are adjacent to where we're selling today, as well as entirely new markets. Like we talked about motorcycle helmets being a first of several that we've identified. That's a lot of opportunity. Mm-hmm. Maybe the key takeaway for investors is recognizing our commitment to doing so, with a lower-cost operating model. Right. Leverage, leverage, leverage. Right. Leverage in the model. Yes. Leverage, leverage in the model to drive profitability. Yes. Not debt, though. Yes. No, that's a perfect way to end. Nick, Brian, thank you very much for joining us this year. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks. All right.
