GoPro, Inc. (GoPro or the Company) produces mountable and wearable cameras and accessories, which the Company refers to as capture devices. The Company’s products are sold globally through retailers, wholesale distributors and on the Company’s website. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in San Mateo, California with additional offices in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China and Munich, Germany.

2. Basis of presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31, and its fiscal quarters end on March 31, June 30 and September 30.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014, for any other interim period or for any other future year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 26, 2014.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in its prospectus filed with the SEC on June 26, 2014, other than the cash equivalents policy described below.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid financial instruments with immaterial interest rate risk that are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. As of September 30, 2014, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, references to the Company are references to GoPro, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, inventory valuation, warranty liabilities, sales returns, web-based sale deliveries at period-end, implied post contract support and marketing allowances, the valuation and useful life evaluation of acquired intangibles, the valuation of deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax positions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Recent accounting pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard update on revenue from contracts with customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The new guidance adheres to the core principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, the new guidance lists five steps that entities should follow, including identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognizing revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2017, with retrospective application permitted. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new guidance.

In June 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update on the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period is treated as a performance condition. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosures around going concern. The new standard update provides guidance around management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Correction of error

During the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that within the consolidated statement of cash flows previously disclosed for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was understated by $3.2 million and net cash used for investing activities was understated by the same amount. The Company has properly presented its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and determined that this revision is not material to prior periods.

4. Fair value measurements

The Company categorizes the fair value of its financial assets according to the hierarchy established by the FASB, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:



Level 1	Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to directly access.
Level 2	Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; valuations for interest-bearing securities based on non-daily quoted prices in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3	Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, the Company is required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, the Company is required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s financial assets included only money market funds of $86.0 million , which were included in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These marketable securities are measured at fair value in active markets on a recurring basis and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that were classified within Level 2 and Level 3, and had not elected the fair value option for any financial assets and liabilities for which such an election would have been permitted. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had no transfers of financial assets between Level 1 and Level 2.

5. Redeemable convertible preferred stock

At December 31, 2013 there were 36,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock authorized and 30,523,036 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding, respectively. Concurrent with the close of the IPO on July 1, 2014, all shares of Series A preferred stock were converted into shares of Class B common stock. Prior to the conversion to Class B common stock, and after giving effect to the Reclassification (defined in Note 6 below), the Series A preferred stock had the following terms:

Conversion

Each share of Series A preferred stock was convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of Class B common stock at a rate of 1-for-1. The conversion of all outstanding Series A preferred stock occurred in connection with the closing of the Company's IPO.

Voting rights

The holders of shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock voted equally with shares of Class B common stock on an as-if converted to Class B common stock basis on all matters, including the election of directors.

Dividend rights

The holders of each Series A share were entitled to receive any noncumulative dividends on an equal basis with common stock, when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company (Board).

Redemption rights

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Company was required to redeem shares of Series A preferred stock at the original issue price of $2.53 per share plus any noncumulative dividends declared by the Board. If the holders had not previously exercised the rights granted to them, the Series A preferred stock was redeemable within 365 days after July 1, 2017, subject to a majority vote of the then outstanding Series A preferred shares. As the redemption events described above could have occurred and were not solely within the Company’s control, all shares of preferred stock were presented outside of permanent equity.

On December 19, 2012, certain Series A stockholders exercised their conversion right and converted 4,211,303 shares of Series A preferred stock to common stock to participate in a common share sale transaction between the Company’s principal stockholder and a new investor pursuant to the pre-existing tag-along right. On December 20, 2012, the Series A preferred stock was modified to eliminate an 8% cumulative dividend and to extend the redemption date to July 2017. The 8% cumulative dividend had been accreted using the effective interest method from the time of issue through February 28, 2016, until the 8% cumulative dividend was eliminated on December 20, 2012. The Company recorded preferred stock dividend accretion of $4.2 million and $3.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. On December 21, 2012, a dividend of $1.05 per share was declared and paid to holders of common and preferred stock totaling $117.4 million . The dividend payment to the preferred stockholders represented a settlement of accumulated dividends to date, prepayments of future cumulative dividends and participation in additional dividends paid to common stockholders as contractually provided for. The cash dividend was reflected first as a reduction to preferred stock to the extent that such dividend payments were accreted, with any cash paid in excess of this amount recorded as a reduction of retained earnings until exhausted, then as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital until exhausted, and then as accumulated deficit.

6. Stockholders' equity (deficit) and stock-based compensation

Preferred Stock

Upon completion of its IPO on July 1, 2014, the Company filed a Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which authorized the issuance of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the Board. As of September 30, 2014 there were 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, and no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common stock

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had 150,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance and 81,420,040 shares issued and outstanding. On June 20, 2014, the Company filed a Restated Certificate of Incorporation to establish two classes of authorized common stock (Reclassification): Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As a result of the Reclassification, all outstanding shares of common stock were converted into shares of Class B common stock. As of September 30, 2014 , the Company had 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock authorized and 150,000,000 shares of Class B common stock authorized. As of September 30, 2014 , 26,292,404 shares of Class A common stock were issued and outstanding and 99,484,734 shares of Class B common stock were issued and outstanding.

The Company had the following shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise or vesting of equity instruments:



(in thousands)	September 30, 2014	December 31, 2013
Stock options outstanding	27,518	26,724
Restricted stock units outstanding	3,900	270
Stock options, restricted stock and RSUs available for future grants	13,403	1,306

Equity incentive plans

2010 Equity Incentive Plan

In August 2010, the Board approved the adoption of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (2010 EIP). As amended, the 2010 EIP permitted the Company to grant up to 40,920,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2010 EIP provided for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock appreciation rights to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. All shares that were cancelled, forfeited or expired in accordance with the terms of the 2010 EIP were returned to the plan and became available for grant in conjunction with the issuance of new stock awards. Following the Reclassification, all shares subject to the 2010 EIP were converted into Class B common stock. The 2010 EIP terminated with the establishment of the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (2014 EIP), and no further grants were issued out of the 2010 EIP following termination, though outstanding awards under the 2010 EIP at the time of the plan’s termination remained outstanding in accordance with their terms.

2014 Equity Incentive Plan

In June 2014, the Board approved the adoption of the 2014 EIP, which became effective on June 26, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the 2014 EIP permits the Company to grant up to 13,921,880 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which includes 451,651 shares of Class B common stock previously reserved but unissued under the 2010 EIP that became available for issuance as Class A common stock under the 2014 EIP. The share reserve may also increase to the extent that outstanding awards under the 2010 EIP expire or terminate unexercised.

The 2014 EIP will terminate in 2024, unless sooner terminated by the Board. The 2014 EIP provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciation rights and performance awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. All shares that are cancelled,

forfeited or expired are returned to the 2014 EIP and are available for grant in conjunction with the issuance of new stock awards.

The Board oversees the administration of the Company’s equity plans and generally determines eligibility, vesting schedules and other terms for awards granted under the plans. Stock options under the 2014 EIP have a maximum contractual term of not more than ten years from the date of grant and are generally exercisable upon vesting. Vesting generally occurs over four years and becomes exercisable at the rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and ratably on a monthly basis over the remaining 36 -month period thereafter. Awards that provide for early exercise are subject to repurchase upon the termination of services prior to vesting. The exercise price of stock options must generally be at least 100% of the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock based on the closing price of the shares on the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Concurrent with the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 on June 26, 2014, the Company’s 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) became effective. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation, subject to any plan limitations. The ESPP generally provides for six -month offering periods, and at the end of each offering period, employees are able to purchase shares at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last day of the offering period.

The amount of unearned stock-based compensation currently estimated to be expensed with respect to unvested employee options at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 was $22.8 million and $58.5 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 , the weighted-average period over which the unearned stock-based compensation is expected to be recognized was 1.0 year and 3.4 years , respectively. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested awards, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense. Future stock-based compensation expense will increase to the extent that the Company grants additional equity awards or assumes unvested equity awards in connection with acquisitions.

Restricted stock

The Company granted restricted stock pursuant to the 2010 EIP. Restricted stock are share awards that, upon grant, the holder receives restricted shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, subject to repurchase at the original issuance price upon termination of services prior to vesting. These repurchase terms are considered to be a forfeiture provision and do not result in mark-to-market accounting each reporting period. Restricted stock is legally issued and outstanding. However, restricted stock is only deemed outstanding for basic earnings per share computation purposes upon the lapse of the Company’s right of repurchase.

Early exercised stock options subject to repurchase

The Company granted options that provide the right to exercise unvested options for shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2010 EIP. Restricted shares issued upon early exercise of stock options are legally issued and outstanding. However, these restricted shares are only deemed outstanding for basic earnings per share computation purposes upon the lapse of the Company’s right of repurchase. Cash received from option holders for exercise of unvested options is treated as a refundable deposit shown as a liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficit) as the Company’s repurchase right lapses.

The following table summarizes the activities of the Company’s restricted stock and early-exercised stock options subject to repurchase:



(in thousands except for weighted average grant date fair value)	Shares		Weighted- average grant date fair value		Aggregate intrinsic value
Non-vested shares at December 31, 2013	487		$	11.03	$	7,628
Vested	(215	)
Non-vested shares at September 30, 2014	272		$	13.76	$	25,424

The weighted average remaining vesting term for the restricted stock and unvested early-exercised stock options subject to repurchase as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 was 1.4 years and 1.1 years , respectively. The amount of unearned stock-based compensation currently estimated to be expensed with respect to unvested restricted stock and early-exercised stock options at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 was $7.4 million and $8.0 million , respectively. The total fair value of vested restricted stock and early exercised stock options subject to repurchase was $0.9 million and $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014 , respectively, and $2.7 million and $3.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014 respectively.

Restricted stock units

RSUs are share awards that, upon vesting, will deliver to the holder shares of the Company’s Class A common stock under the 2014 EIP or Class B common stock under the 2010 EIP. Typically, vesting of RSUs is subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company. The cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. The Company also issues RSUs with both a market condition and a service condition. The Company estimates the fair value of these market-based RSUs using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the activities of the Company’s RSUs:



(in thousands except for weighted average grant date fair value)	Shares		Weighted- average grant date fair value
Non-vested shares at December 31, 2013	270		$	1.52
Granted	5,147		17.39
Vested	(1,517	)	18.41
Non-vested shares at September 30, 2014	3,900		16.01

The balance as of September 30, 2014 included 3 million RSUs subject to a market condition. These RSUs were issued to the CEO in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and can be earned ratably over a period of three years , subject to the achievement of certain market condition milestones that were set by the Compensation Committee. The Company estimated the fair value of these shares using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:



Dividend yield	None
Expected volatility	50.9%
Risk-free interest rate	2.69%
Expected term (years)	10.0
Grant date fair value of underlying shares	$18.40

The weighted average remaining vesting term for RSUs as of September 30, 2014 was 3.0 years . The amount of unearned stock-based compensation currently estimated to be expensed with respect to RSUs at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 was $4.7 million and $56.2 million , respectively. The total fair value of RSUs vested in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.9 million and $28.5 million , respectively.

Sharing of proceeds from sale of securities

During the development stage of the Company, the founder and CEO entered into a verbal agreement with an employee to share 10% of any proceeds from the sale of equity securities held by the founder and CEO. As a result of the issuance of preferred stock to common stockholders in February 2011, and subsequent sale of these preferred shares by the founder and CEO to third parties, an obligation under this verbal agreement arose. In order to satisfy this obligation and any future obligations that may have arisen out of this verbal agreement, the Company entered into a written agreement and provided the following forms of compensation to the employee:


•	In March 2011, the Company paid the employee $6.1 million in cash, which was recorded as compensation expense within sales and marketing expense. Also in March 2011, the CEO reimbursed the Company for $6.1 million , which was recorded as a stockholder contribution to additional paid-in capital;

•

In June 2011, the Company issued the employee an option to purchase 6,584,427 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.763 per share. The option vested immediately and has a contractual life of 10 years . Stock compensation expense of $6.8 million was recorded in June 2011 within sales and marketing expense as a result of this grant. Upon exercise of this option by the employee, the founder and CEO will contribute an equal number of common shares back to the Company. In June 2014, the employee exercised the option to purchase 665,443 shares, for which the CEO contributed the same number of shares back to the Company; and


•	In December 2011, the Company issued the employee 270,000 RSUs that vest upon a change in control of the Company.

Effective tax rate	(25.2	)%	54.7	%	30.6	%	26.7	%

Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $2.9 million compared to a tax benefit of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to lower cumulative U.S. pre-tax income and lower foreign withholding taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $2.6 million compared to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to lower U.S. pre-tax income, higher earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. and lower foreign withholding tax.

8. Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers its redeemable convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. In June 2014, the Company filed a Restated Certificate of Incorporation which established two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As a result, all outstanding shares of common stock were converted into shares of Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the stockholder into one share of Class A common stock and has no expiration date. The Class B common stock is also convertible into Class A common stock on the same basis upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for “Permitted Transfers” as defined in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Each share of Class B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon the date when the outstanding shares of Class B common stock represent less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock then outstanding.

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income

attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All participating securities are excluded from basic weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including all potentially dilutive common shares, if the effect of each class of potential shares of common stock is dilutive.

The undistributed earnings are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common shares as if the earnings for the year have been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. The computation of the diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of Class B common stock, while diluted net income (loss) per share of Class B common stock does not assume the conversion of Class A common stock as Class A common stock is not convertible into Class B common stock.

The following table presents the calculations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders:

9. Financing Arrangements

Credit facility

On December 21, 2012, the Company entered into a $170.0 million syndicated senior secured credit facility consisting of a $120.0 million three-year term loan facility and a $50.0 million four-year revolving credit facility. The Company received net proceeds of $127.6 million , net of $2.4 million of debt issuance and lender costs. The debt issuance and lender costs were allocated between the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility based on the maximum lending commitment amounts. The debt issuance costs allocated to the term loan facility were reported as deferred charges and the lender costs allocated to the term loan facility were included in the carrying value of the term loan as debt discount. Borrowings under the credit facility were collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In August 2014, the Company terminated this credit facility.

As of December 31, 2013, $114.0 million of the term loan was outstanding. The remaining unamortized discount was $0.4 million as of December 31, 2013. The effective interest rate on the term loan was 3.79% on December 31, 2013. The Company’s excess cash flows, as defined in the credit facility, for 2013 triggered a contractual principal prepayment obligation of $48.5 million , which amount has been classified as a current liability as of December 31, 2013. Concurrent with the close of the IPO on July 1, 2014, the Company repaid, in full, the term loan outstanding of $108.0 million . The Company recorded the remaining deferred issuance costs and debt discount of $0.6 million related to the term loan as interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The revolving credit facility contractually matured on December 21, 2016. As of December 31, 2013, zero of the revolving credit facility had been drawn down and $20.0 million of the revolving credit facility was committed to a standby letter of credit. In April 2014, the $20.0 million standby letter of credit was terminated. In August 2014 the Company terminated the revolving credit facility and recorded remaining deferred issuance costs of $0.5 million related to the revolving credit facility as interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The credit agreement contained customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

13. Concentrations of risk and segment information

Segment information

The Company operates as one operating segment as it only reports financial information on an aggregate and consolidated basis to its CEO, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

Customer concentration

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes that the credit risk in its trade receivables is mitigated by the Company’s credit evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and dispersion of its customer base. The Company generally does not require collateral and losses on trade receivables have historically been within management’s expectations.

Customers with accounts receivable equal to or greater than 10% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 were as follows:



	September 30, 2014	December 31, 2013
Customer A	30%	21%
Customer B	14%	14%
Customer C	13%	*
Customer D	*	11%

* Less than 10% of total accounts receivable for the period indicated

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , the Company sold accounts receivables, without recourse, of $52.4 million and $121.6 million , respectively, from a customer to a third-party banking institution. In the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold accounts receivable, without recourse, of $13.9 million from a customer to a third-party banking institution. Factoring fees of $0.5 million and $1.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively, and $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 related to the sale of trade accounts receivable were included in other income (expense), net.

Customers with revenue equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014 were as follows:



	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2014	September 30, 2013	September 30, 2014	September 30, 2013

Customer E	*	11%	*	10%


*	Less than 10% of total revenue for the period indicated

Supplier concentration

The Company relies on third parties for the supply and manufacture of its capture devices. In instances where a supply and manufacture agreement does not exist or suppliers fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers or satisfactorily deliver its products to its customers on time, if at all.

The Company also relies on third parties with whom it outsources supply chain activities related to inventory warehousing, order fulfillment, distribution and other direct sales logistics. The Company cannot be sure that these parties will perform their obligations as expected or that any cost savings, or other benefits will be derived from the efforts of these parties. If any of these parties breaches or terminates their agreement with the Company or otherwise fails to perform their obligations in a timely manner, the Company’s financial results may be adversely affected.

Overview

GoPro is transforming the way consumers capture, manage, share and enjoy meaningful life experiences. We do this by enabling people to capture compelling, immersive photo and video content of themselves participating in their favorite activities.

We were founded in 2004 to address the limitations of traditional cameras. In 2004, we shipped our first product, a wrist-mounted, waterproof, film-based capture device, and in 2006 we shipped our first digital capture device, the Digital HERO. We introduced our first HD capture device in 2009, the HD HERO, and we introduced our current HERO3+ family of capture devices in late 2013. We also sell mountable and wearable accessories that enable professional quality capture at affordable prices.

We have continued to enhance our product offering by providing software solutions that address the pain points of managing, editing and sharing content. GoPro Studio enables our customers to easily edit and share simple or complex videos. The GoPro App enables customers to easily and wirelessly manage and share content from our HERO capture devices.

Since we launched our first HD camera in 2009, we have experienced rapid growth. In the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014, we generated revenue of $192.1 million and $280.0 million, respectively, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014, we generated revenue of $624.3 million and $760.3 million, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014, we reported net income (loss) of $(1.1) million and $14.6 million, respectively, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014, we reported net income of $16.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Substantially all of our revenue has been generated from the sale of cameras and accessories.

Our sales strategy initially targeted independent specialty retailers focused on action sports markets, which we believe helped to establish the authenticity of our brand. We now sell our products both directly and through distribution. Our direct channel includes big box, mid-market and independent specialty retailers, as well as our website. We use our distribution channel to sell internationally and into certain specialty markets. As of September 30, 2014, our products were sold to customers in more than 100 countries and through more than 25,000 retail outlets. Sales outside of the United States represented 56% and 34% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and 53% and 44% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

We believe consumer demand for compelling content, combined with our self-capture technology and the popularity of social media, create a significant media opportunity for GoPro. GoPro programming, a combination of GoPro originally produced content and “best of” user-generated content, or UGC, has developed a growing audience. To scale this, we have built a team of production professionals who regularly produce content based on inspiring stories from around the world, captured exclusively with our capture devices. In addition, we actively

curate and redistribute, with permission, UGC as GoPro-branded content through the GoPro Network, which includes the GoPro Channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Virgin America, Xbox 360, Xbox One and YouTube.

We face potential challenges that could limit our ability to take advantage of these opportunities, including the risk that we may not be able to continue to develop and introduce new products and attract new customers. We do not expect to sustain or increase our revenue growth rates. In addition, we rely on a small number of retailer and distributor customers for a significant portion of our revenue. One retailer accounted for 16% and 27% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and 15% and 19% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively. A distributor accounted for 11% and 10% of our revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

We rely on contract manufacturers for the production of our cameras and accessories. All of the components that go into the manufacture of our cameras and accessories are sourced from third-party suppliers, and some of these suppliers are the sole source for important components. We utilize third-party logistics providers for product fulfillment.

Key business metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions.



	Three months ended				Nine months ended
(in thousands)	September 30, 2014		September 30, 2013		September 30, 2014		September 30, 2013

Adjusted EBITDA	$	36,175	$	8,606	$	90,526	$	51,870

•

Units shipped. Units shipped represent the number of individual packaged camera units that are shipped during a reporting period, net of any returns. Packaged camera units include a waterproof housing, a battery, selected mounts and other accessories which vary by model. We monitor units shipped on a daily basis as it is a key indicator of revenue trends for a reporting period. We use units shipped to help optimize our fulfillment operations and shipment allocations in order to better maintain operating efficiencies and improve customer satisfaction.

•

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), adjusted after excluding the impact of: provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, point-of-purchase, or POP display amortization and stock-based compensation. We use adjusted EBITDA as a key measure to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. You should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2014		September 30, 2013		$ Change		Percent Change		September 30, 2014		September 30, 2013		$ Change		Percent Change
Revenue	$	280.0	$	192.1	$	87.9	46	%	$	760.3	$	624.3	$	136.0	22	%

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 46% to $280.0 million from $192.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to an increase in units shipped. Units shipped in the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 32% to 1.1 million from 0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2014 also increased, to a lesser extent, as a result of an increase in accessory unit shipments. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a reduction of 2% in the average selling price of units shipped in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in average selling price in the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to a shift in product mix to lower priced HERO3+ Silver and HERO3 White capture devices as we prepared for the HERO4 launch in September. Our revenue increase resulted from increased sales to customers in the Americas region, partially offset by a decrease in sales to EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific) regions in the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 22% to $760.3 million from $624.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due to an increase in units shipped and increased sales of our higher priced products. Units shipped in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 15% to 2.8 million from 2.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The average selling price of units shipped increased 2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in average selling price in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily driven by a shift in product mix to the HERO3+ Black edition capture devices. Our revenue in the nine months ended

September 30, 2014 also increased, to a lesser extent, as a result of an increase in accessory unit shipments. Our revenue increased in the Americas and APAC, while decreasing in EMEA during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

We expect revenue to increase in the three month period ending December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014.

Cost of revenue, gross profit and gross profit margin



	Three months ended										Nine months ended
(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			$ Change		Percent Change		September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			$ Change		Percent Change
Cost of revenue	$	155.9		$	128.1		$	27.8	22	%	$	436.9		$	414.0		$	22.9	6	%
Gross profit	$	124.0		$	64.0		$	60.0	94	%	$	323.4		$	210.3		$	113.1	54	%
Gross profit margin	44		%	33		%					43		%	34		%

Gross profit margin increased to 44% in the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 33% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to lower costs associated with our HERO3+ capture devices compared to our previous generation HERO3 capture devices, and to a lesser extent the introduction of our new HERO4 Black and Silver products at the end of the third quarter 2014.

Gross profit margin increased to 43% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 34% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to lower costs associated with our HERO3+ capture devices compared to our previous generation HERO3 capture devices. In addition, gross profit margin also improved due to a 2% increase in the average selling price of units shipped.

We expect gross profit margin to fluctuate over time based on product mix, changes in costs related to the release of different capture device models, sales channel mix and changes in average selling price. We expect our gross margin percentage to increase in the three month period ending December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Research and Development



	Three months ended										Nine months ended
(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			$ Change		Percent Change		September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			$ Change		Percent Change
Research and development	$	42.4		$	19.6		$	22.8	116	%	$	105.8		$	48.3		$	57.5	119	%
% of revenue	15		%	10		%					14		%	8		%

Research and development expense increased $22.8 million, or 116% , for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to a $9.5 million increase in personnel related costs associated with increased headcount, a $5.9 million increase in consulting and outside professional service costs, a $2.8 million increase in equipment costs, a $2.4 million increase in facility and information technology support costs and a $1.7 million increase in stock-based compensation.

Research and development expense increased $57.5 million, or 119%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to a $24.2 million increase in personnel related costs associated with an increase in headcount , a $15.5 million increase in consulting and outside professional service costs, a $6.2 million increase in facility and information technology support costs, a $5.9 million increase in equipment costs and a $3.8 million increase in stock-based compensation.

Research and development expense increased as a percentage of revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to September 30, 2013 due to the broadening of our capture device product line with the introduction of the HERO4 products and to a lesser extent, investments in our software to support our product initiatives.

In the three month period ended December 31, 2014, we expect research and development expense to increase compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013 as we continue to make significant investments in developing new products, applications, functionality and other offerings and to be relatively flat compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Sales and Marketing



	Three months ended										Nine months ended
(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			$ Change		Percent Change		September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			$ Change		Percent Change

Sales and marketing expense increased $10.7 million, or 29%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to a $4.5 million increase in personnel related costs associated with an increase in headcount, a $1.8 million increase in stock-based compensation, a $1.6 million increase in facility and information technology support costs, a $1.3 million increase in advertising and promotional activity costs and a $0.4 million increase in sales commissions and other selling expense.

Sales and marketing expense increased $21.0 million, or 19%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to a $12.0 million increase in personnel related costs associated with an increase in headcount, a $3.4 million increase in facility and information technology support costs, a $2.2 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $1.9 million increase in advertising and promotional activity costs.

In the three month period ended December 31, 2014, we expect sales and marketing expense to increase compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 as we continue to actively promote our products.

General and Administrative



	Three months ended										Nine months ended
(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			$ Change		Percent Change		September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			$ Change		Percent Change

% of revenue	7		%	4		%					9		%	3		%

General and administrative expense increased $12.4 million, or 161%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to a $7.6 million increase in stock-based compensation, a $3.3 million increase in personnel related costs associated with an increase in headcount, a $0.6 million increase in consulting and outside professional service costs and a $0.6 million increase in facility and information technology support costs.

General and administrative expense increased $49.4 million, or 228%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to a $38.8 million increase in stock-based compensation, an $8.1 million increase in personnel related costs associated with an increase in headcount, a $1.1 million increase in consulting and outside professional service costs and a $1.1 million increase in facility and information technology support costs. Of the total increase in stock-based compensation, $27.6 million was attributable to the issuance of 4.5 million RSUs to our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, during the period.

General and administrative expense increased as a percentage of revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation and personnel related costs.

In the three month period ended December 31, 2014, we expect general and administrative expense to increase compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013 due to the required infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of our business and to be relatively flat compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2014 , our principal source of liquidity was our cash and cash equivalents balance totaling $237.7 million.

Cash Flows. The following table sets forth the major components of our consolidated statements of cash flows data for the periods presented:



	Nine months ended
(dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			Percent Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	53,732		$	20,147		167%
Net cash used in investing activities	(25,766		)	(14,578		)	(77)%
Net cash provided by financing activities	108,373			5,575			1844%
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	136,339		$	11,144		1123%

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities consist of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

Cash provided by operating activities of $53.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was comprised of $42.4 million in non-cash expense, $5.8 million in net income and $5.5 million in cash flows from operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily consisted of stock-based compensation expense net of the related excess tax benefit and depreciation and amortization. Cash flows related to operating assets and liabilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily consisted of a $27.7 million increase in cash due to timing of accounts receivable collections, partially offset by a $25.8 million decrease in cash due to increased expenditures for prepaid expenses and other assets.

Cash provided by operating activities of $20.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was comprised of $19.3 million in non-cash expense, $16.8 million in net income and a decrease in cash of $16.0 million from operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and provision for inventory obsolescence. Cash flows related to operating assets and liabilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily consisted of a $47.7 million decrease in cash due to the buildup of inventory for the HERO3+ launch and a $15.1 million decrease in cash due to increased expenditures for prepaid and other assets, partially offset by a $23.5 million increase in cash due to timing of accounts receivable collections and a $25.2 million increase in cash due to the timing of payments associated with our accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash used in investing activities of $25.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased from cash used for investing activities of $14.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due primarily to $8.3 million of increased capital expenditures and a payment of $3.2 million related to the acquisition of General Things, Inc.

Cash flows from financing activities

Our financing activities provided cash of $108.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Cash flow provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of $200.8 million of proceeds received from our initial public offering, or IPO, after underwriting discounts and commissions but before offering costs, a $23.6 million excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation and proceeds from issuance of stock of $3.4 million, partially offset by repayments of our debt of $114.0 million and payments of deferred IPO costs of $4.4 million.

Our financing activities provided cash of $5.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 . Cash flow provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $20.0 million, partially offset by repayments of long-term debt and repayments of our revolving credit facility of $14.5 million.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2014 , and the effect those contractual obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow over the next five years are presented in textual and tabular format in Note 11, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can significantly impact the amounts we report as assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and the related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. We believe that our accounting policies are critical to understanding our historical and future performance as these policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity.

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2014 . For information about critical accounting policies, see the discussion of critical accounting policies in the final prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2014 in connection with our initial public offering pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include foreign currency and interest rate risks as follows:

Foreign currency risk

To date, substantially all of our product sales and inventory purchases have been denominated in U.S. dollars. We therefore have had insignificant foreign currency risk associated with these two activities. The functional currency of all of our entities is the U.S. dollar. Our operations outside of the United States incur a portion of their operating expenses in foreign currencies, principally the Hong Kong Dollar. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, we believe that the exposure to foreign currency fluctuation from operating expenses is immaterial at this time as the related costs do not constitute a significant portion of our total expenses. As we grow our operations, our exposure to foreign currency risk could become more significant. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency exchange contracts and currently do not expect to enter into foreign currency exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We analyzed our foreign currency exposure to identify assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies. For those assets and liabilities, we evaluated the effects of a 10% shift in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. We have determined that there would be an immaterial effect on our results of operations from such a shift.

Interest rate risk

We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $101.4 million and $237.7 million at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 , respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and money market funds. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal and provide liquidity without significantly increasing risk. Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the relatively short-term nature of our investment portfolio, we do not believe that an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014 . Based on their evaluation as of September 30, 2014 , our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see Note 11, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. With respect to the legal proceeding described in “Business - Legal proceedings” in the final prospectus that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2014 in connection with our initial public offering, the Federal Circuit heard oral argument on the consolidated appeal on October 7, 2014.


Item 1A.	Risk Factors

The risks described in "Risk Factors," in the final prospectus that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2014 in connection with our initial public offering could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock

On June 25, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-196083) effective for our IPO, and the offering commenced the following day. The offering did not terminate before all the securities registered in the registration statement were sold. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. acted as joint book-running managers of the offering and Allen & Company LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, MCS Capital Markets LLC, Piper Jaffray & Co. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. acted as co-managers of the offering.

We registered 17,800,000 shares of Class A common stock (8,900,000 shares of which were held before our IPO by certain of our stockholders), plus 2,670,000 additional shares to cover the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares (all of which were held before our IPO by certain of our stockholders). The aggregate public offering price of the offering amount registered, including shares to cover the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares was $491.3 million. On July 1, 2014, we closed the IPO, in which we sold 8,900,000 shares of our Class A common stock and the selling stockholders sold 11,570,000 shares of our Class A common stock. The shares sold and issued in the IPO included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. All sales were at the IPO price of $24.00 per share, for an aggregate offering price of $213.6 million for the shares sold by us and $277.7 million for the shares sold by the selling stockholders, making the aggregate offering price of the shares sold $491.3 million.

The net offering proceeds to us, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $12.8 million and other offering expenses of $6.2 million, were $194.6 million. We expect to pay the remaining unpaid offering expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014. No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates in connection with the issuance and sale of the securities registered. On July 1, 2014, we used $108.0 million of the IPO proceeds to repay our term loan under our credit facility. See Note 9, “Financing Arrangements,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2012. We have invested the majority of the remaining net proceeds, or $86.0 million, in money market funds.
