Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of significant accounting policies | Summary of business and significant accounting policies GoPro, Inc. (GoPro or the Company) makes mountable and wearable cameras, drones and accessories. These GoPro products are sold globally through retailers, wholesale distributors and on the Company’s website. The Company's global corporate headquarters are located in San Mateo, California. Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31, and its fiscal quarters end on March 31, June 30, and September 30. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial statements, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report) for the year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report. Principles of consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include those related to revenue recognition (including sales returns, implied post contract support and marketing allowances), stock-based compensation, inventory valuation, product warranty liabilities, the valuation and useful lives of long-lived assets (property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill) and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from management's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected. Comprehensive income (loss). For all periods presented, comprehensive income (loss) approximated net income (loss). Therefore, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) have been omitted. Prior period reclassifications. Reclassifications of certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the current period presentation. Recent accounting pronouncements
Standard |  | Description |  | Date of adoption |  | Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
Standards that are not yet adopted |  |  |  |
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) |  | The updated revenue standard establishes principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for all industries. Under the new model, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard requires that entities disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Early adoption is permitted, but not earlier than the first quarter of 2017. The retrospective or cumulative effect transition method is permitted. |  | January 1, 2018 |  | The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not determined whether the effect will be material to its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) |  | This standard requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. Lessees would recognize a right-to-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The new standard should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. |  | January 1, 2019 |  | The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718) |  | This standard simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also allows an entity to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. Early adoption is permitted for an entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. |  | January 1, 2017 |  | The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Standards that were adopted |  |  |  |
ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) |  | ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-15 clarified ASU 2015-03 in that fees related to line-of-credit arrangements should continue to be presented as an asset and subsequently amortized ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. |  | January 1, 2016 |  | The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
