Turtle Beach (HEAR) Tops Q3 EPS by 85c, Revenues Rise 141%; Raises Outlook
Turtle Beach (NASDAQ: HEAR) reported Q3 EPS of $1.04, $0.85 better than the analyst estimate of $0.19. Revenue for the quarter rose 141% to $112.5 million versus the consensus estimate of $84.3 million.
"Our blistering sales momentum continued in the third quarter, as a combination of strong consumer demand for headsets, further market share gains driven by our leading products and brand, superior execution, and our ability to leverage operating expenses drove results that were by far the best third quarter results we have ever achieved,\" said Juergen Stark, CEO of Turtle Beach. \"We are extremely proud of what our team has accomplished in recent months under challenging conditions. What is most encouraging is that we believe the strong underlying demand continues to be driven by greater overall engagement of existing gamers as well as new and lapsed gamers joining the market as new gaming headset users. In addition, non-gamers continue to buy headsets for at-home work, school and socializing. All of this sets us up nicely for the holiday season and for 2021.\"
Stark added, "The increase in demand is not limited to console gaming, as we saw strong increases in our award-winning ROCCAT line of PC mice, keyboards and headsets in the quarter. We expect this demand will continue, especially with the investments we are making in our PC portfolio as evidenced by the new products we\'ve launched the past few months.
"As a result of the performance in the third quarter and our belief that demand will remain at elevated levels through the end of the year, and with the launch of the next generation Xbox and PlayStation consoles later this month, we are confident that our results this year will exceed our previous forecasts for both revenue and EBITDA. We\'ve stepped-up our investments to capitalize on new opportunities and, with the integration of the ROCCAT acquisition going well, the excellent team we have here, and our strong continued execution, we will continue to take actions to enable and drive further expansion and growth."
