SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Forward-Looking Information
This presentation includes forward-looking information and statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Except for historical information contained in this release, statements in this release may constitute
forward-looking statements regarding assumptions, projections, expectations, targets, intentions or beliefs about future events. Statements containing the words “may”, “could”, “continue”, “would”, “should”, “believe”,
“expect”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “goal”, “estimate”, “accelerate”, “target”, “project”, “intend” and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These statements are based on management’s current belief, as well as assumptions made by, and
information currently available to, management. While the Company believes that its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurances that its goals and strategy will be realized. Numerous
factors, including risks and uncertainties, may affect actual results and may cause results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by the Company or on its behalf. Some of these
factors include, but are not limited to: risks related to the substantial uncertainties inherent in the acceptance of existing and future products; the difficulty of commercializing and protecting new technology; the impact of
competitive products and pricing; the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on consumer demands and manufacturing capabilities; risks relating to, and uncertainty caused by or resulting from, the COVID-19
pandemic; the Company's partnerships with influencers, athletes and esports teams; risks associated with the expansion of our business, including the implementation of any businesses we acquire, the integration of such
businesses within our internal control over financial reporting and operations; and our liquidity. These risks may be in addition to the other factors and matters discussed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on
Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to
publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements after the date of this release whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. This presentation also contains trademarks and trade
names that are property of their respective owners.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to its reported results, the Company has included in this presentation certain financial results, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and constant currency revenue, that the Securities and Exchange
Commission defines as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental
information for investors analyzing period-to-period comparisons of the Company's results. “Adjusted Net Income” is defined as net income excluding (i) integration and transaction costs related to the acquisition of the
business and assets related to the ROCCAT brand, (ii) the effect of the mark-to-market requirement of the financial instrument obligation, (iii) any change in fair value of contingent consideration and (iv) the release of
valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation (non-cash), and certain non-
recurring items that we believe are not representative of core operations (e.g., the integration and transaction costs related to the acquisition of the business and assets related to the ROCCAT brand, the mark-to-market
adjustment for the financial instrument obligation and the change in fair value of contingent consideration). “Constant currency revenue” is defined by the Company as revenue excluding the impacts of fluctuations in
exchange rates from prior periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to perform financial
planning, and to determine incentive compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis
by, investors. The presented non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that management does not believe reflect the Company’s core operating performance because such items are inherently unusual, non-operating,
unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash. See a reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA included in the appendix for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
