Jun. 30, 2023

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Part II, Item 8, Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies”, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2022 which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, combined or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corsair and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated entities where we own less than 100% of the equity, our consolidated net comprehensive income (loss) is reduced by the portion attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

In determining whether an entity is considered a controlled entity, we apply the VIE (Variable Interest Entity) and VOE (voting interest entity) models. Entities that do not qualify as a VIE are assessed for consolidation under the VOE model. Under the VOE model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we have a controlling financial interest in the entity through our ownership of greater than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the entity and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights.

On January 1, 2022 (the “Closing” or “Closing Date”), we completed the acquisition of a 51% ownership stake in Elgato iDisplay Holdings LTD. and its related companies (together “iDisplay”). (See Note 5, “Business Combination - iDisplay Acquisition” for more details on the iDisplay Acquisition). We have determined that iDisplay does not qualify as a VIE and Corsair has a controlling financial interest in iDisplay under the VOE model and therefore, iDisplay’s results of operations are fully consolidated with Corsair with effect from January 1, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of intangible assets, accounts receivable, sales return reserves, reserves for customer incentives, warranty reserves, inventory, derivative instruments, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the potential impacts from the events in the current economic environment and the events in Ukraine. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The extent to which the current macroeconomic factors and the development in Ukraine will impact our business going forward depends on numerous dynamic factors that we cannot reliably predict. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
