Second quarter 2014 revenue increased 3.8 percent compared to $235.7 million reported in the first quarter of 2014.

“We delivered a strong quarter of operating results driven by increased demand for our Hero 3+ Black Edition and demand for our accessory products,” said Nicholas Woodman, CEO of GoPro. “We are seeing a tremendous volume of quality content generated by our users and a 200 percent year over year increase in video views on YouTube, which is fueling our virtuous cycle whereby viewership of GoPro content drives sales. Our second quarter performance demonstrates our users' continued passion for GoPro's products, content and brand.”
