2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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, 2023 which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, 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, 2023, 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 September 30, 2024 and our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the current fiscal year or any other future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corsair and its subsidiaries, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. We consolidate subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest. For the consolidated subsidiaries in which we own less than 100% of the equity, our consolidated net comprehensive income (loss) is reduced by the portion attributable to the noncontrolling interest. The ownership interest of other investors is recorded as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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.

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 events in the current economic and geopolitical environment. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. The extent to which the current macroeconomic conditions and the development of the geopolitical unrest will impact our business going forward depends on numerous dynamic factors that we cannot reliably predict. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

None.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosure. This ASU updates the reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU will result in additional required disclosures in our consolidated financial statements, when adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income tax paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will result in additional required disclosures in our consolidated financial statements, when adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ended December 31, 2025.

3. Fair Value Measurement

U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active market, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the report date. The nature of these securities includes investments for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and investments that are fair valued using other securities, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level 3—Securities that have little to no pricing observability as of the report date. These securities are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value are not observable and require significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair value accounting is applied to all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in our condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Our financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

Our financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of foreign currency forward contracts and the fair values of these contracts, which were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, were based on similar exchange traded derivatives and the related asset or liability. The balances of our financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were not material.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, we enter into derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other liabilities and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not designate such instruments as hedges for accounting purposes; accordingly, changes in the value of these contracts are recognized in each reporting period in other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We donot enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes.

The foreign currency forward contracts generally mature withintwo tofour months. The notional principal amount of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts was $19.5 million and $44.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31,

2023, respectively. The net fair value gains (losses) recognized inother expense, net in relation to these derivative instruments was $(1.3) million and $0.8 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was $(0.7) million and $0.2 million for thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

5. Business Combinations

Fanatec Acquisition

On September 13, 2024, one of our subsidiaries, Corsair GmbH (“GmbH”) executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) to purchase the business (the “Fanatec Business”) of Endor AG (“Endor”), which includes certain assets and all the personnel of Endor, as well as the equity interests of certain of Endor’s subsidiaries. Endor AG is a German public entity that created the leading end-to-end premium Fanatec sim racing product line. The Fanatec sim racing product line, which fully complements our sim racing chassis, gaming PCs, gaming and streaming peripherals, and monitors, will expand our product offerings in these markets.

The Fanatec APA was consummated on September 19, 2024 (the “Fanatec Acquisition Date”) for a cash purchase consideration of approximately $43.7 million, net of $4.5 million of cash acquired.

Prior to the Fanatec acquisition, another of our subsidiaries, Corsair Components Ltd (“CCL”), entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement (“Bridge Loan”) in May 2024 and a Debtor-In-Possession Loan Agreement (“DIP Loan”) in September 2024 with Endor to provide short-term financing for Endor's operations in connection with our intent to acquire the Fanatec Business through a German restructuring process. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the total principal and interest owed by Endor to CCL as of the Fanatec Acquisition Date for the Bridge Loan and DIP Loan of approximately $16.6 million, in aggregate, was set-off against the purchase price, and accordingly, on the Fanatec Acquisition Date, GmbH paid CCL $16.6 million cash to settle the Bridge Loan and DIP Loan (including interest of $0.6 million) on behalf of Endor. GmbH paid the remaining $31.6 million purchase consideration to Endor in cash on the Fanatec Acquisition Date.

Because the Fanatec acquisition met the definition of a business, it has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Fanatec’s results of operations are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations with effect from September 19, 2024.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Fanatec Acquisition Date. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized consist of income tax and indirect tax considerations and the validation of certain inventory values, accounts payables and accrued liabilities. We will continue to reflect measurement period adjustments to purchase price allocation, if any, in the period in which the adjustments are recognized. Final determination of the fair values may result in adjustments to the values presented in the following table (in thousands):

The fair value of the working capital related items, as well as the fair value of property and equipment approximated their book values at the Fanatec Acquisition Date. The fair value of the inventories was estimated by major category, at an estimate of net realizable value, which we believe approximates the price a market participant could achieve in a current sale. The difference between the fair value of the inventories and the book value recorded on the Fanatec Acquisition Date was $4.7 million, of which we recognized$0.5 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, upon the sale of the acquired inventory.

The goodwill of $2.2 million represents the expansion of our market presence by utilizing Fanatec's strength and brand in the sim racing market. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes and is assigned to our Peripherals reporting unit.

The $15.1 million identifiable intangible assets acquired include trade name of $11.3 million and product technology of $3.8 million. The fair values of the identified intangible assets were estimated primarily using the income approach and were based on inputs that are not observable in the market which we consider to be Level 3 inputs. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 6 to 15 years, using the straight-line method of amortization. The identifiable intangible assets acquired are deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition-related costs incurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and these amounts are primarily reported within sales and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Pro forma information is not included because the effects of the Fanatec Acquisition were not material to our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented.

Drop Acquisition

On July 14, 2023 (the “Drop Acquisition Date”), we completed the acquisition of the assets and business of Massdrop Inc. (“Drop”), including the assumption of trade payables and certain accrued liabilities (the “Drop Acquisition”) for a cash purchase consideration of approximately $14.2 million, net of $0.6 million of cash acquired. On January 29, 2024, in connection with a joint release letter executed between us and Drop's seller, we received a refund of $1.0 million from escrow funds in relation to a purchase price adjustment for net working capital. With this refund, total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired, decreased to $13.2 million.

Drop, a community-based e-commerce company was headquartered in San Francisco, California, and specialized in customized DIY keyboards and keycaps. We expect this acquisition to give Corsair a leading presence in the personalized keyboards market which is one of the fastest growing trends in the gaming peripherals space as well as allow us to offer specialized Corsair and Elgato products to the enthusiast community that Drop is engaged with. Drop’s results of operations are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations with effect from July 14, 2023.

The Drop Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The final allocation of the Drop Acquisition purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, inclusive of immaterial measurement period adjustments, was as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of certain working capital related items, including accounts receivable, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as well as the fair value of property and equipment approximated their book values at the Drop Acquisition Date. The fair value of the inventories was estimated by major category, at net realizable value, which we believe approximates the price a market participant could achieve in a current sale. The difference between the fair value of the inventories and the book value recorded on the Drop Acquisition Date was $2.0 million, of which we recognized $0.1 million, $0.5 million and $1.5 million in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, upon the sale of the acquired inventory.

The goodwill of $6.0 million represents the expansion of our market presence by utilizing Drop's strength in direct consumer reach as well as the ability to expand the customizable keyboard and keycap market. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes and is assigned to our Peripherals reporting unit.

The $9.2 million identifiable intangible assets acquired include developed technology of $5.2 million, trade name of $2.3 million and domain name of $1.7 million. The fair values of the identified intangible assets were estimated primarily using the income approach and were based on inputs that are not observable in the market which we consider to be Level 3 inputs. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 15 years, using the straight-line method of amortization. The identifiable intangible assets acquired are deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition-related costs incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were not material.

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

We conduct our goodwill impairment analysis annually on October 1 or more frequently if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit may be less than its carrying value.

Due to a change in business strategies, with effect from July 1, 2024, two of our existing reporting units (the Systems reporting unit and the Components reporting unit) within the Gaming Components and Systems segment were combined (refer to as the Component and Systems reporting unit) because they now satisfy the aggregation criteria under the applicable accounting guidance. Since the composition of our other reporting units, the Peripherals reporting unit and the Memory reporting unit did not change, the carrying value of the goodwill for the Component and Systems reporting was determined as the sum of the goodwill carrying value for the Components reporting unit and the Systems reporting unit as of July 1, 2024.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the sustained decline in our stock price, combined with a reduction in our revenue forecasts, was considered a triggering event indicating that it was possible that the fair value of our reporting units could be less than their carrying amounts, including goodwill. As a result, we performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2024 using a combination of the income valuation approach and market approach methodologies. The determination of the fair value of the reporting units using the aforementioned methodologies requires significant estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to, discount rate, terminal growth rates, market multiple data from selected guideline companies, and management's internal forecasts. Management determined that the fair values of the reporting units were not less than their respective carrying amounts. As of September 30, 2024, the indicated fair value was in excess of carrying value for our Component and Systems, Peripherals, and Memory reporting units by approximately 23%,35% and 194%, respectively.

The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment (in thousands):

Intangible assets, net

As a result of the goodwill triggering event described above, we also performed an interim impairment test for our indefinite-lived intangible asset and our finite-lived intangible assets as of September 30, 2024. The fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets was determined based on the relief from royalty method and the recoverability of our finite-lived intangible assets was determined based on the undiscounted cash flows method. No impairment resulted from these interim impairment tests.

The following table is a summary of intangible assets, net (in thousands):

In the year when an identified intangible asset becomes fully amortized, the fully amortized balances from the gross asset and accumulated amortization amounts are removed from the table above.

The estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets as of September 30, 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

7. Balance Sheet Components

The following tables present the components of certain balance sheet amounts (in thousands):

(1)

As of September 30, 2024, one customer represented 46.5% of our accounts receivable, net balance. As of December 31, 2023, two customers represented 42.9% and 18.5% of our accounts receivable, net balance, respectively.

8. Debt

On September 3, 2021, we refinanced the First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a new Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $100.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) and a $250.0 million five-year term loan facility (“Term Loan”), with each maturing in September 2026. The Credit Agreement also permits, subject to conditions stated therein, additional incremental facilities in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250.0 million. We may prepay the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty. We prepaid $11.9 million and $34.1 million of the Term Loan principal in thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and in the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

The following table presents the carrying value of our Term Loan (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Term Loan, which we have classified as a Level 2 financial instrument, was approximately $177.6 million.

As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had $100.0 million unused capacity under the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Agreement has a variable rate structure. According to the provisions in the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Third Amendment”), beginning 2024, the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility carry interest at our election at either (a) Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%) based on our total net leverage ratio, or (b) the base rate (as described in the Credit Agreement as the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month BSBY plus 1.0%) plus a percentage spread (ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%) based on our total net leverage ratio. Additionally, the commitment fees on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility ranges from 0.2% to 0.4% based on our total net leverage ratio.

On August 19, 2024, we entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, which provides for, among other things, (i) effectuates the transition of the underlying variable interest rate from the BSBY to a forward-looking interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), with no change to the applicable margin percentage spread, but with the addition of a rate spread adjustment in the amount of 0.10% per annum, (ii) increases the letter of credit sublimit from $15 million to $65 million and (iii) the issuance of letters of credit denominated in Euro.

The effective interest rate of our Term Loan, inclusive of the debt discount and debt issuance costs, was approximately 6.3% and 7.4% for thethree months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was approximately 7.0% and 7.3% for thenine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants with which we must comply during the term of the agreement, which we believe are ordinary and standard for agreements of this nature, including the maintenance of a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (“CTNL Ratio”) and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (“CIC Ratio”) (as defined in the Credit Agreement). According to the provisions in the Third Amendment, beginning 2024, we are required to maintain a maximum CTNL Ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and a minimum CIC ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, with the provision that the maximum CTNL Ratio can be temporarily increased to 3.50 to 1.00 upon the occurrence of a Qualified Acquisition (as defined in, and subject to the requirements of the Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2024, we were not in default under the Credit Agreement.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions detailed in the Credit Agreement and related ancillary documentation.

The following table summarizes the interest expense recognized for all periods presented (in thousands):

The future principal payments under our total long-term debt as of September 30, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Product Warranties

Changes in our assurance-type warranty obligations were as follows (in thousands):

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

In the normal course of business, we enter into various purchase commitments for goods or services. Our long-term non-cancelable purchase commitments consist primarily of multi-year contractual arrangements relating to subscriptions for cloud computing hosting arrangements for applications used in R&D. The total long-term non-cancelable purchase commitments as of September 30, 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

Our total non-cancelable long term purchase commitments outstanding as of December 31, 2023 was $1.5 million.

Letters of Credit

There wereno letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. No amounts have been drawn upon the letters of credit for all periods presented.

Legal Proceedings

We may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of business. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations, and the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and our view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. We expense legal fees as incurred and we record a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on currently available information, we believe that existing claims or proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, or the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on our operations or financial position, liquidity of results of operations.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms with respect to certain transactions. We have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require Corsair, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon Corsair to provide indemnification under such agreements, and thus, there areno claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flows. We currently have directors’ and officers’ insurance.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Shelf-Registration Statement

On July 22, 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective August 1, 2022 (the “2022 Shelf Registration Statement”). The 2022 Shelf Registration Statement registered securities to be offered by us, in an amount up to $300.0 million, including common stock, preferred stock and warrants, through August 1, 2025. In addition, the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement registered 54,179,559 shares of common stock held by the selling securityholders named in the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares registered by the selling securityholders.

As of September 30, 2024, $216.7 million remained available for issuance under the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement.

11. Equity Incentive Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

As of September 30, 2024, we have two active equity incentive plans: the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

In February 2024, we granted performance stock units (“PSU”) to certain senior members of our management team under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The vesting of PSUs is conditional upon the achievement of certain internal financial targets for the year ended December 31, 2024 and these will vest over athree-year service period. The number of units issued can range from 0% to 200% of the target shares depending on the achievement of the financial targets. In the event such targets are achieved, one-third of the eligible PSUs would vest and the remaining two-thirds would thereafter vest evenly over the second and third years. In the event the minimum targets are not achieved, no PSUs would vest. The compensation expense associated with PSUs is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period, and it is based on the estimated number of shares that is considered probable of vesting. Adjustments to the compensation expense will be made in each reporting period based on changes in our estimate of the number of PSUs that are probable of vesting.

We measure and recognize compensation for all stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and PSU, based upon the grant-date fair value of those awards. The grant-date fair value of our stock options and stock purchase rights is estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The fair value of our RSUs and PSUs are calculated based on the market value of our stock at the grant date.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense by line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

(1)

Stock-based compensation expense capitalized were not material for each of the periods presented.

The following table summarizes by type of grant, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense and the remaining period over which such expense is expected to be recognized (in thousands, except number of years):

(1)

As of September 30, 2024, we assessed the likelihood of achieving the financial targets for the PSUs and determined that it was not probable to be achieved. As such, no PSU stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2024, and there isno unrecognized stock-based compensation expense remaining as of September 30, 2024.

12. Net Loss Per Share

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1)

Potential common share equivalents were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

13. Income Taxes

The following table presents our loss before income taxes, income tax benefit and effective income tax rates for all periods presented (in thousands, except percentages):

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. These foreign jurisdictions have statutory tax rates different from those in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to United States income, the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, changes in geographic mix of income and expense, changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets, and changes in tax laws.

We assess our deferred tax assets and liabilities to determine if it is more likely than not they will be realized; if not, a valuation allowance is required to be recorded. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we have reached a cumulative loss position over the previous three years, and with consideration of other negative evidence, we concluded that U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realizable. As a result of the foregoing, a full valuation allowance was recorded in the current quarter. The deferred tax liability related to indefinite-lived assets was excluded from sources of future taxable income, as the timing of its reversal cannot be predicted due to the nature of its indefinite life.

Our effective tax rates were tax expense of(110.0)% and tax benefit of 3.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in our effective rate in the three-month period was primarily due to an income tax provision of $28.0 million for valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, partially offset by a tax benefit recognized for the transfer of customer relationship intangible asset from Hong Kong to United Kingdom as a result of our global tax restructuring initiative completed on July 1, 2024.

Our effective tax rates were tax expense of(32.7)% and tax benefit of 26.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in our effective rate in the nine-month period was primarily due to a change in the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate, an income tax provision of $28.0 millionfor valuation allowance recorded againstour U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, partially offset by a tax benefit recognized for the transfer of customer relationship intangible asset from Hong Kong to United Kingdom as a result of our global tax restructuring initiative completed on July 1, 2024.

Unrecognized tax benefits were $3.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2023, respectively, and if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.

On December 15, 2022, the European Union (“EU”) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. The EU effective dates are January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. A significant number of other countries are expected to also implement similar legislation, including United Kingdom which approved the legislation on July 11, 2023 with a full effective date of January 1, 2024. We have evaluated the potential impact from the OECD Pillar Two rules and determined that there is no impact to our financial position for the year 2024.

The segments are defined as those operations our CODM regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. Our CODM is determined to be Corsair’s Chief Executive Officer. The results of the reportable segments are derived directly from our reporting system and are based on the methods of internal reporting which are not necessarily in conformity with GAAP. Management measures net revenue and gross profit to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments.

The following table summarizes the financial information for each reportable segment (in thousands):

The CODM manages assets on a total company basis, not by operating segments; therefore, asset information and capital expenditures by operating segments are not presented.

15. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest ("RNCI")

RNCI, included in temporary equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, of $14.4 million and $15.9 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, represented 19% and 29% interest in Elgato iDisplay Holdings LTD. and its related companies (together “iDisplay”), respectively, that were not acquired by Corsair. In addition, we have nonredeemable noncontrolling interest (“Non-RNCI”) in iDisplay recorded at carrying value which do not have redemption features and are classified within permanent equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet of $10.5 million as of December 31, 2024, representing 20% interest in iDisplay not acquired by Corsair. We donot have any Non-RNCI outstanding at September 30, 2024.

RNCI that is redeemable and not solely within our control is classified within temporary equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. RNCI is measured at the greater of the redemption value, or the carrying value before giving effect to the redemption feature. The redemption value is calculated based on the formula stipulated in the Shareholders Agreement between the iDisplay Seller and Corsair and including the amounts for dividends not currently declared or paid, for which the payment is not solely within our control. The redemption value is remeasured each quarter and changes in the value are recognized immediately. Any resulting change in the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is recognized through retained earnings and this adjustment also impacts the net income or loss attributable to common stockholders of Corsair Gaming, Inc used in the net income (loss) per share calculation.

On January 1, 2022, we acquired a 51% controlling interest in iDisplay and entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the “SHA”) with the iDisplay Seller which provided a put option to the iDisplay Seller to sell and a call option for us to purchase up to 29% of the remaining interests in iDisplay. The exercise price of the put and call option under the SHA is based on certain prescribed multiples of iDisplay’s historical TTM EBITDA less any debt.

Corsair and the iDisplay Seller did not exercise their call or put option under the SHA, but instead on July 1, 2024(the “Execution Date”), Corsair entered into a Share Purchase Amendment Agreement (the “SPAA”) with the iDisplay Seller to purchase an additional 30% ownership stake in iDisplay for a cash consideration of $19.8 million (the “Additional Purchase Transaction”). The closing conditions of the SPAA were completed on July 8, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) along with our payment of the cash consideration. As a result, our total ownership stake in iDisplay increased from 51% to 81%, and correspondingly, iDisplay Seller's ownership interest in iDisplay decreased from 49% to 19%.

The SPAA also replaced the call option and put option in the SHA with new options. Under the SPAA, a put option (the “Put Option”) was provided to the iDisplay Seller to sell up to 19% of the remaining ownership interest in iDisplay to Corsair within one year after the fifth anniversary date of the Execution Date, and a call option (the “Call Option”) was provided to Corsair to purchase up to 19% of the remaining ownership interest in iDisplay at any time after the second anniversary of the Execution Date. The exercise price of the Put Option and Call Option remain the same as the terms defined in the SHA. In addition, if the founder of iDisplay ceases to serve as the manager of iDisplay, voluntarily or with cause, we are entitled to an irrevocable call option to purchase up to 19% ownership interest in iDisplay at any time during the five years after the Execution Date and the exercise price is based on a prescribed multiple of TTM EBITDA.

According to the applicable accounting guidance, purchase of noncontrolling interest that does not result in a change in control of the subsidiary is accounted for as equity transaction. Since we continue to maintain control of iDisplay after the Additional Purchase Transaction, the net deficit of $1.6 million, net of tax impact, between the consideration paid for the additional 30% ownership stake and its carrying value as of the Closing Date was recognized as an adjustment to our additional paid-in capital in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Additionally, according to the SPAA, the remaining 19% interest in iDisplay not acquired by Corsair is subject to redemption by the iDisplay Seller through the Put Option. Since the redemption is not solely within our control, the carrying value of the remaining 19% interest in iDisplay is classified as temporary equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet effective from the Closing Date.

The following table presents the changes in RNCI for the periods presented (in thousands):

This amount represents the reclassification of 19% ownership of iDisplay from noncontrolling interest (presented within permanent equity) to RNCI (presented within temporary equity), effective on the Closing Date of the Additional Purchase Transaction as further described above.
