GoPro Inc. reported revenues fell 18 percent in the second quarter ended June 30 but its losses shrank due to aggressive efforts to reduce expenses and improve margins.
“The initiatives we undertook in 2024 to reduce operating expenses and improve gross margin are beginning to deliver meaningful results. In Q2 2025, year-over-year, we improved gross margin to 36.0 percent, up from 30.7 percent, reduced operating expenses 32 percent and improved adjusted EBITDA 83 percent,” said Brian McGee, GoPro’s CFO and COO.
“Our Q2 results reflect consistent operational execution and efficiency, and we’re excited to launch a broader, more diversified suite of hardware and software products in the second half of 2025, which we believe will restore revenue growth and profitability to our business starting in Q4 2025,” said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro’s founder and CEO.
