"As indicated in our recent pre-announcement, our 2020 sales and adjusted EBITDA were the highest in our company's history," said CEO Juergen Stark. "A great portfolio of products and our leading brand combined with excellent operational execution enabled us to outpace the rest of the console headset market as that market experienced significant growth from both existing and new gamers last year. That plus more than doubling our ROCCAT PC accessories business both through expansion of the portfolio and further development of that brand enabled us to deliver record results. While the gaming accessories market may slow a bit in 2021 because of how strong growth was in 2020, we expect that our continued growth in PC accessories, as well as entry into new categories will allow us to grow revenues to record levels in 2021. And we plan to continue to invest in product and brand development throughout 2021 to position ourselves for continued growth and further expand our leadership position in gaming accessories." | ||||
