NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors of class action against GoPro, Inc. ("GoPro" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GPRO) and certain of its officers. The class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased shares between July 21, 2015 and January 13, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Such investors are advised to contact Peretz Bronstein or his investor relations analyst, Yael Hurwitz at [email protected] or 212-697-6484.

On October 28, 2015, GoPro released disappointing third quarter 2015 results, including revenue of $400 million, much lower than the Company's guidance of $430-$445 million. That day, Nick Woodman, CEO of GoPro attributed the Company's poor performance, to weak sales of the HERO4 Session camera, specifically stating, "our guidance going into the quarter was actually for a significant additional amount of Session to ship. . . . Session didn't sell through as well as we anticipated . . . ."

Following this news, GoPro shares fell $4.59, or more than 15%, to close at $25.62 per share on October 29, 2015.

On January 13, 2016, GoPro reported a preliminary fourth quarter 2015 revenue of $435 million, again far below the GoPro's expected $500-$550 million. Additionally, GoPro publicized a plan to cut its staff by approximately 7% and is likely to suffer roughly $5 to $10 million in restructuring costs. GoPro attributed its dismal fourth quarter results to "lower than anticipated sales of its capture devices" and "a $21 million reduction for price protection related charges resulting from the HERO4 Session repricing in December."

Following this news, GoPro shares dropped as much as $4.08 per share, or 27.9%, to lows of $10.52 per share during after hours trading on January 13, 2016.

This lawsuit alleges that GoPro and certain of its officers with violations of the federal securities laws. Specifically, the complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants failed to disclose: (1) that the Company was experiencing weak sales of its HERO line of cameras throughout the Class Period; (2) that the Company was experiencing weak HERO4 Session sales at the time the third Quarter guidance was announced; (3) that the Company's third quarter 2015 guidance was based on the assumption that GoPro would be able to sell a significant additional amount of HERO4 Session cameras; (4) that the Company's third and fourth quarter 2015 guidance was inflated and unrealistic; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about GoPro's business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
