GoPro Gets Auditor Going‑Concern Warning and Says It Needs Financing or a Sale

The company warned that lenders could call loans if covenant tests fail which would force a restructure or bankruptcy without new capital.

Overview

  • PricewaterhouseCoopers told investors in an amended 8‑K that it has substantial doubt about GoPro’s ability to continue because the company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flow.
  • GoPro said in the filing that it must obtain additional financing or complete a strategic transaction to avoid materially adverse outcomes and that no specific bankruptcy filing has been initiated.
  • The company reported a sharp supply shock from rising memory and RAM prices, citing increases between 80 percent and 115 percent in late March that have pushed component costs and cut gross margins.
  • GoPro’s finances have weakened over several years with revenue down to $651.5 million in 2025, a $93.5 million loss last year, roughly $49.7 million in cash at year‑end, and a steep share‑price drop to about $1.10.
  • Credit covenant risks have put near‑term repayment or acceleration on the table and management has approved a strategic review and layoffs as it pursues potential sales, debt waivers, or fresh capital.
