NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company
 
Logitech International S.A, together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("Logitech" or the "Company"), designs, manufactures and sells products that help businesses thrive and bring people together when working, creating, gaming and streaming.
The Company sells its products to a broad network of international customers, including direct sales to retailers, e-tailers and end consumers through the Company's e-commerce platform, and indirect sales to end customers through distributors.
Logitech was founded in Switzerland in 1981 and Logitech International S.A. has been the parent holding company of Logitech since 1988. Logitech International S.A. is a Swiss holding company with its registered office in Hautemorges, Switzerland, and headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, which conducts its business through subsidiaries in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia Pacific. Shares of Logitech International S.A. are listed on both the SIX Swiss Exchange under the trading symbol LOGN and the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol LOGI.
Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Logitech and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and therefore do not include all the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 17, 2023.

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary and in all material aspects, for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, or any future periods.

Change in Presentation of Sales by Product Category

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company changed its presentation of Sales by Product Category, included in Note 12, to provide a simpler and clearer view of the Company's business. The change in presentation did not have an impact on previously reported total sales. These changes included reclassifications of sales between certain product categories resulting in the following:

The Webcams category (previously PC Webcams) now includes PC webcams and VC webcams;
Headsets is a new category which includes PC headsets and VC headsets;
The Mobile Speakers category is no longer a separate category as sales have been reclassified into the Other category;
The Audio & Wearables category is no longer a separate category as sales have been reclassified into other categories as discussed below.

As a result of these changes, certain prior-period amounts for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation as follows (in thousands):

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions, contingent consideration for a business acquisition and periodic reassessment of its fair value, valuation of investment in privately held companies classified under Level 3 fair value hierarchy, pension obligations, accruals for customer incentives, cooperative marketing, and pricing programs and related breakage when appropriate, inventory valuation, share-based compensation expense, uncertain tax positions, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the Company in the future, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
Impacts of Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions on the Company's Business
The Company's business has been impacted by adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. These conditions include inflation, interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, slowdown of economic activity around the world, and lower consumer and enterprise spending.
The global and regional economic and political conditions adversely affect demand for the Company's products. These conditions also had an impact on the Company's suppliers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, and distributors, causing volatility in cost of materials and shipping and transportation rates, and as a result, impacting the pricing of the Company's products.
Note 2 — Net Income Per Share
 
The following table summarizes the computations of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Share equivalents attributable to outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and employee share purchase plans totaling 1.1 million and 1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 1.6 million and 2.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. A small number of performance-based restricted stock units were not included in the dilutive net income per share calculation because all necessary conditions had not been satisfied by the end of the respective period, and those shares were not issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance contingency period.

Note 3 — Employee Benefit Plans
 
Employee Share Purchase Plans and Stock Incentive Plans
 
As of September 30, 2023, the Company offers the 2006 Employee Share Purchase Plan (Non-U.S.), as amended and restated ("2006 ESPP"), the 1996 Employee Share Purchase Plan (U.S.), as amended and restated ("1996 ESPP"), and the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan ("2006 Plan") as amended and restated. Shares issued to employees as a result of purchases or exercises under these plans are generally issued from shares held in treasury stock.

The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense and total income tax benefit recognized for share-based awards for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Total share-based compensation expense, net of income tax expense (benefit)$19,520 $12,347 $35,713 $31,715 

The income tax benefit in the respective periods primarily consisted of tax benefits related to the share-based compensation expense for the period and direct tax benefit realized, including net excess tax benefits recognized from share-based awards vested or exercised during the period.

Share-based compensation costs capitalized as part of inventory were $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3.4 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Defined Benefit Plans
 
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans or non-retirement post-employment benefits covering substantially all of their employees. Benefits are provided based on employees’ years of service and earnings, or in accordance with applicable employee benefit regulations. The Company’s practice is to fund amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in the applicable employee benefit and tax regulations. The costs of $1.9 million and $2.8 million recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3.8 million and $5.6 million recorded for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were primarily related to service costs.
 
Note 4 — Income Taxes
 
The Company is incorporated in Switzerland but operates in various countries with differing tax laws and rates. Further, a portion of the Company’s income before taxes and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes are generated outside of Switzerland.

The income tax provision for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 was $30.3 million and $42.9 million based on an effective income tax rate of 18.1% and 17.7% of pre-tax income, respectively. The income tax provision for the same periods ended September 30, 2022 was $23.4 million and $45.1 million based on effective income tax rate of 22.2% and 19.8% of pre-tax income, respectively.

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, compared with the same periods ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the tax impact from share-based compensation.

Table of Contents
 
Although the Company has adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions related to these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. During fiscal year 2024, the Company continues to review its tax positions and to provide for or reverse unrecognized tax benefits as they arise. During the next twelve months, while it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease significantly, it is not possible to provide a range of potential changes.

On August 16, 2022, the “Inflation Reduction Act” (H.R. 5376) ("IRA") was signed into law in the United States. The IRA establishes a new corporate alternative minimum tax based on financial statement income adjusted for certain items. The new minimum tax is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's financial statements for the tax year ending March 31, 2024.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company considers fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes the following three-level fair value hierarchy to establish the priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The contingent consideration arising from a technology acquisition on May 19, 2021, represented the future potential earn-out payments of up to $10.0 million payable in cash upon the achievement of three technical development milestones to be completed as of December 31, 2021, June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2023. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $10.0 million at the acquisition date, which was determined using a probability-weighted expected payment model and discounted at the estimated cost of debt. During fiscal year 2022, the Company paid $0.9 million for the contingent consideration related to the first technical development milestone. During fiscal year 2023, the Company paid $4.0 million for the contingent consideration related to the second technical development milestone. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid $3.3 million for the contingent consideration related to the third technical development milestone.
The contingent consideration arising from a technology acquisition on January 4, 2021, represented the future potential earn-out payments of up to $3.0 million payable in cash upon the achievement of two technical development milestones to be completed as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted expected payment model and discounted at the estimated cost of debt. During fiscal year 2023, the Company paid $2.0 million for the contingent consideration related to the first technical development milestone. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid $1.0 million for the contingent consideration related to the second technical development milestone.

Investments for Deferred Compensation Plan
 
The marketable securities for the Company's deferred compensation plan were recorded at a fair value of $28.5 million and $28.2 million, as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains (losses) related to marketable securities for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were not material and were included in other income (expense), net, and corresponding changes in the deferred compensation liability were included in operating expenses and cost of goods sold, in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Equity Method Investments

The Company has certain non-marketable investments included in other assets that are accounted for as equity method investments, with a carrying value of $18.5 million and $20.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Gains (losses) related to equity method investments for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were not material and are included in other income (expense), net, in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge, before tax, of $21.4 million for one of its equity method investments as it was determined that the carrying value of the investment was not recoverable. The impairment charge is included in other income (expense), net, in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022. There was no impairment of equity method investments during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Financial Assets 

The Company has certain equity investments without readily determinable fair values due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity, and the fact that inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable and require management's judgment. When certain events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist, the Company revalues the investments using various assumptions, including the financial metrics and ratios of comparable public companies. The carrying value is also adjusted for observable price changes with the same or similar security from the same issuer. The amount of these equity investments without readily determinable fair values included in other assets was $12.6 million as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. During the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an unrealized gain, before tax, of $6.9 million for its investment in a private company as a result of observable price changes for similar securities issued by this company (level 2 fair value measurement). There was no impairment of these financial assets during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, other than an immaterial impairment charge related to one of the Company's investments without readily determinable fair value recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss, before tax, of $9.6 million as a result of the write-off of a note receivable which has been deemed no longer recoverable. This note receivable was previously obtained in conjunction with an exchange transaction related to the Company's investment in a privately held company. The impairment loss is included in other income (expense), net, in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2023.

Non-Financial Assets

Goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if the Company is required to evaluate these non-financial assets for impairment, whether due to certain triggering events or because of the required annual impairment test, and a resulting impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the fair value, the non-financial assets are measured at fair value during such period. There was no impairment of non-financial assets during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Note 7 — Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Under certain agreements with the respective counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts, subject to applicable requirements, the Company is allowed to net settle transactions of the same type with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. However, the Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in other current assets and accrued and other current liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023. See Note 6 for the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company enters into cash flow hedge contracts to protect against exchange rate exposure of forecasted inventory purchases. These hedging contracts mature within approximately four months. Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedges are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, at which time the gains or losses are reclassified to cost of goods sold. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Hedging relationships are discontinued when the hedging contract is no longer eligible for hedge accounting, or is sold, terminated or exercised, or when the Company removes hedge designation for the contract. Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of the discontinued hedges continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, unless it is probable that the forecasted inventory purchases will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter.

The notional amounts of foreign currency exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $119.2 million and $72.6 million as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company had $1.8 million of net gains related to its cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2023, which will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

 The following table presents the amounts of gain (loss) on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and their locations on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (in thousands):

Other Derivatives
 
The Company also enters into foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts to reduce the short-term effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain receivables or payables denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of its subsidiaries. These contracts generally mature within approximately one month. The primary risk managed by using forward and swap contracts is the currency exchange rate risk. The gains or losses on these contracts are not material and included in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the changes in fair value. The notional amounts of these contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were $121.6 million and $111.2 million, respectively. Foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of contracts in Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real, and Australian Dollar to be settled at future dates at predetermined exchange rates.
 
The fair value of all foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts is determined based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates. Cash flows from these contracts are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 8 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company conducts its impairment analysis of goodwill annually at December 31 or more frequently if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit may be less than its carrying amount. There have been no triggering events identified affecting the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Indemnifications
 
The Company indemnifies certain of its suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes and product safety defects, subject to certain restrictions. The scope of these indemnities varies, but in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. As of September 30, 2023, no material amounts have been accrued for these indemnification provisions. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under its indemnification arrangements.
 
The Company also indemnifies its current and former directors and certain of its current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these exposures are not limited, the obligations are conditional in nature and the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable.

Legal Proceedings
From time to time the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is currently subject to several such claims and legal proceedings. The Company intends to vigorously defend against them. Management periodically assesses the Company’s liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest information available. The Company follows ASC ("Accounting Standards Codification") 450 in determining the accounting and disclosure for these contingencies. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that resolution of pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the Company's defenses will be successful or that any such lawsuit or claim would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations in a particular period. Any claims or proceedings against the Company can have an adverse impact because of defense costs, diversion of management and operational resources, negative publicity and other factors. Any failure to obtain a necessary license or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims, could adversely affect the Company's business.

2020 Share Repurchase Program

In May 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2020 share repurchase program, which authorized the Company to use up to $250.0 million to purchase Logitech shares to support equity incentive plans or potential acquisitions. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, through block trades or otherwise. Purchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors. In April 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase of $750.0 million to the

2020 share repurchase program, to an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion. The Swiss Takeover Board approved this increase and it became effective on May 21, 2021. In July 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of $500 million to the 2020 share repurchase program, to an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 billion. The Swiss Takeover Board approved this increase and it became effective on August 19, 2022. The 2020 share repurchase program expired on July 27, 2023. The Company repurchased 16.7 million shares for an aggregate cost of $1.2 billion under the 2020 share repurchase program, of which 2.6 million shares for an aggregate cost of $159.1 million were repurchased during the six months ended September 30, 2023.

2023 Share Repurchase Program

In June 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new, three-year share repurchase program, which allows the Company to use up to $1.0 billion to repurchase its shares. The 2023 share repurchase program enables the Company to repurchase shares for cancellation, as well as to support equity incentive plans or potential acquisitions. The Swiss Takeover Board approved the 2023 share repurchase program in July 2023 and the program became effective on July 28, 2023. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 0.9 million shares for an aggregate cost of $60.1 million under the 2023 share repurchase program for cancellation, of which $30.2 million of the aggregate cost was not paid yet as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $940.0 million was available for repurchase under the 2023 share repurchase program.

Swiss law limits a company’s ability to hold or repurchase its own shares. The aggregate par value of all shares held in treasury by the Company and its subsidiaries may not exceed 10% of the share capital of the Company, which for the Company corresponds to approximately 17.3 million registered shares. This limitation does not apply to shares repurchased for cancellation, due to the Board of Directors’ authority under the Company’s capital band set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to cancel shares up to a limit of 10% of the Company's current share capital. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a total of 16.0 million shares held in treasury stock, which includes 0.9 million shares that have been repurchased for cancellation.

To the extent that the shares are repurchased to support equity incentive plans or potential acquisitions, the shares are repurchased on the ordinary trading line of SIX Swiss Exchange (“SIX”) and/or The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). Shares repurchased for cancellation purposes are repurchased on a second trading line on SIX. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including under plans complying with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors and the program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares.

Dividends

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of CHF 1.06 (USD equivalent of $1.19 based on the exchange rate on the date of declaration) per share, totaling $187.2 million on the Company's outstanding shares. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of CHF 0.96 (USD equivalent of $1.00 based on the exchange rate on the date of declaration) per share, totaling $162.7 million on the Company's outstanding shares.

Any future dividends will be subject to approval of the Company's shareholders.

Note 12 — Segment Information
 
The Company operates in a single operating segment that encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of peripherals for gaming, PCs, tablets, video conferencing, and other digital platforms. Operating performance measures are provided directly to the Company's CEO, who is considered to be the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The CEO periodically reviews information such as sales and adjusted operating income (loss) to make business decisions. These operating performance measures do not include restructuring charges (credits), net, share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, and change in fair value of contingent consideration from business acquisitions.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company changed its presentation of Sales by Product Category to provide a simpler and clearer view of the Company's business. The change in presentation did not have an impact on previously reported total sales. As a result of these changes, certain prior-period amounts for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 1 for further information on the change in presentation.

Note 13 — Restructuring

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to realign its business group and engineering structure with its go-to-market strategy to more effectively compete within the enterprise market and to better serve end-users. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company undertook further
actions to remove organization layers as well as streamline its marketing organization to increase efficiency. These actions resulted in charges related to employee severance and other termination benefits as well as contract termination and other costs. The Company expects to substantially complete these restructuring activities within fiscal year 2024.

Overview of Our Company
Logitech’s mission is to help all people pursue their passions in a way that is good for people and the planet. We design, manufacture, and sell products that help businesses thrive and bring people together when working, creating, gaming and streaming. We sell these products through a number of brands: Logitech, Logitech G (including ASTRO Gaming, Streamlabs, and Blue Microphones) and Ultimate Ears.
Our diverse portfolio includes Gaming, Keyboards & Combos, Pointing Devices, Video Collaboration, Webcams, Tablet Accessories, and Headsets. We sell our products to a broad network of international customers, including direct sales to retailers, e-tailers, and end consumers through our e-commerce platform, and indirect sales to end customers through distributors.
From time to time, we may seek to partner with or acquire, when appropriate, companies that have products, personnel, and technologies that complement our strategic direction. We continually review our product offerings and our strategic direction in light of our profitability targets, competitive conditions, changing consumer trends and the evolving nature of the interface between the consumer and the digital world.
Impacts of Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions on our Business
Our business has been impacted by adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. These conditions include inflation, interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, slowdown of economic activity around the world, and lower consumer and enterprise spending.
The global and regional economic and political conditions adversely affect demand for our products. These conditions also had an impact on our suppliers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, and distributors, causing volatility in cost of materials and shipping and transportation rates, and as a result, impacting the pricing of our products.
For additional information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below and Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors".
Trends and Uncertainties
Several long-term secular-trends offer long-term structural growth opportunities across Logitech’s product portfolio, including work and learn from anywhere (hybrid work and learn), video everywhere, the rise of social gaming for participants and spectators, and the democratization of digital content creation. We design, create and sell products that benefit from these secular trends. The trend of hybrid work and learn provides an opportunity to equip meeting rooms, classrooms and personal workspaces, at home or in the office. It also provides an opportunity for increased commercial and consumer adoption of video conferencing. Our video collaboration products are compatible with a variety of video conference platforms, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, etc. Moving from work to play, Logitech gaming and streaming products benefit from social gaming which continues to gain popularity through online gaming, multi-platform experiences and esports. In addition, the democratization of digital content creation presents an opportunity for anyone to be a content creator because of the accessibility of the tools necessary to code, design, create, make music, game or broadcast to professional standards.
While we believe we will further benefit from these secular trends, we have experienced and will continue to experience challenges that impact our business and financial results. These challenges include (i) the current macroeconomic environment, including interest rate fluctuations, inflation, foreign exchange movements and low economic growth in certain regions, (ii) low consumer confidence and recent declines in enterprise spending leading to reduced demand for some of our products, (iii) the uncertainty in strategy and timing of enterprises’ “return-to-office” impacting demand for our Video Collaboration and other products, and (iv) the timing of further development of our business-to-business go-to-market capabilities.
We expect these challenges to continue in the near-term. We have taken steps to mitigate the impact of these challenges, including but not limited to: (i) reduction in our operating expenses in order to maintain margins and size the business for the current market, (ii) reduction in inventories to more appropriately align with demand, (iii) continued investment in our business-to-business direct sales channel in order to improve performance, and (iv) release of new products to increase the value proposition of our portfolio.

Table of Contents
Business Seasonality and Product Introductions
We have historically experienced higher sales in our third fiscal quarter ending December 31, compared to other fiscal quarters in our fiscal year, primarily due to the increased consumer demand for our products during the year-end holiday buying season and year-end spending by enterprises. Additionally, new product introductions and business acquisitions can significantly impact sales, product costs and operating expenses. Product introductions can also impact our sales to distribution channels as these channels are filled with new product inventory following a product introduction, and often channel inventory of an earlier model product declines as the next related major product launch approaches. Sales can also be affected when consumers and distributors anticipate a product introduction or changes in business circumstances. However, neither historical seasonal patterns nor historical patterns of product introductions should be considered reliable indicators of our future pattern of product introductions, future sales or financial performance. Furthermore, cash flow is correspondingly lower in the first half of our fiscal year as we typically build inventories in advance for the third quarter and we pay an annual dividend following our Annual General Meeting, which is typically in September.
Summary of Financial Results

Our total sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 8% and 12%, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, driven by a decline in sales of most of our product categories, as a result of lower demand.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 21% and 6% in the Asia Pacific and Americas regions, respectively, and increased 5% in the EMEA region, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. Sales for the six months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 24%, 9%, and 3% in the Asia Pacific, Americas, and EMEA regions, respectively, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022.

Gross margin was 41.5% and 40.1% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and increased by 330 and 120 basis points, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by cost improvement and less reliance on expedited shipping, as well as lower promotions, partially offset by unfavorable product mix. The increase in gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by cost improvement and less reliance on expedited shipping, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $282.0 million, or 26.7% of sales, compared to $311.4 million, or 27.1% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Operating expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2023 were $579.2 million, or 28.5% of sales, compared to $655.5 million, or 28.4% of sales, for the six months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in operating expense was primarily driven by a reduction in marketing and advertising spend.
Net income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 was $137.1 million and $199.8 million, respectively, compared to $82.1 million and $182.9 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make assumptions, judgments, and estimates, that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We consider an accounting estimate critical if it: (i) requires management to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain; and (ii) is important to an understanding of our financial condition and operating results.
We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates. We also discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
We believe that the assumptions, judgments and estimates involved in the accounting for accruals for customer incentives and related breakage when appropriate, accrued sales return liability, inventory valuation, and
25

Table of Contents
uncertain tax positions, have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. These areas are key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules requiring us to make judgments and estimates and consequently, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the critical accounting estimates disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.
Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S.
On August 16, 2022, the “Inflation Reduction Act” (H.R. 5376) ("IRA") was signed into law in the U.S. The IRA establishes a new corporate alternative minimum tax based on financial statement income adjusted for certain items. The new minimum tax is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements for the tax year ending March 31, 2024.
Constant Currency
We refer to our net sales growth rates excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations as "constant currency" sales growth rates. Percentage of constant currency sales growth is calculated by translating prior period sales in each local currency at the current period’s average exchange rate for that currency and comparing that to current period sales.
Given our global sales presence and the reporting of our financial results in U.S. Dollars, our financial results could be affected by significant shifts in currency exchange rates. See “Results of Operations” for information on the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations on our sales. If the U.S. Dollar appreciates or depreciates in comparison to other currencies in future periods, this will affect our results of operations in future periods as well.
References to Sales
The term “sales” means net sales, except as otherwise specified and the sales growth discussion and sales growth rate percentages are in U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise specified.
Results of Operations

Net Sales

Our sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 8% and 12%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a decline in sales of most of our product categories as a result of lower demand. If currency exchange rates had been constant in the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, our constant dollar sales reduction rates would have been 9% and 12%, respectively.
Sales Denominated in Other Currencies

Although our financial results are reported in U.S. Dollars, a portion of our sales was generated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, such as the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Pound Sterling and New Taiwan Dollar. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 50% of our sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.

Sales by Product Category

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we changed the presentation of sales by product category to provide a simpler and clearer view of our business. The change in presentation did not have an impact on previously reported total sales. As a result of these changes, certain prior-period amounts for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on the change in presentation.

Webcams
Our Webcams category includes PC-based webcams that are targeted primarily at consumers, including streaming cameras, and VC webcams that turn any desktop into an instant collaboration space.

Sales of Webcams decreased 14% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by the decrease in sales of our PC-based webcams, such as 1080p Pro Stream Webcam and Brio 500, as well as our VC webcams, such as Webcam C930e. Sales of Webcams decreased 23% for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by the decrease in sales of our VC webcams, such as Webcam C930e and Webcam C925E, as well as our PC-based webcams, such as 1080p Pro Stream Webcam.

Tablet Accessories

Our Tablet Accessories category primarily includes tablet keyboards and styluses.
 
Sales of Tablet Accessories increased 17% and 11% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily driven by the increase in sales of our Rugged Combo 3 Touch as well as Combo Touch and Rugged Combo 4 Touch, introduced in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022, the increase in sales of these products was partially offset by the decrease in sales of Rugged Folio.

Headsets

Our Headsets category includes PC and VC headsets, in-ear headphones, and premium wireless earbuds.

Sales of Headsets for the three months ended September 30, 2023 remained consistent with sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Sales of Headsets decreased 10% for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by the decrease in sales of VC headsets and corded PC headsets.

Other

Our Other category primarily consists of mobile speakers and PC speakers.

Sales in Other category decreased 35% in each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by a decline in sales of mobile speakers.

Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Gross margin was 41.5% and 40.1% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and increased by 330 and 120 basis points, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by cost improvement and less reliance on expedited shipping, as well as lower promotions, partially offset by unfavorable product mix. The increase in gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by cost improvement and less reliance on expedited shipping, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

The decrease in total operating expenses during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, was mainly due to decreases in marketing and selling expenses, partially offset by increases to general and administrative expenses.

Marketing and Selling
Marketing and selling expenses consist of personnel and related overhead costs, corporate and product marketing, promotions, advertising, trade shows, technical support for customer experiences and facilities costs.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, marketing and selling expenses decreased $25.7 million and $75.9 million, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by our reduction in third-party marketing and advertising spend as well as decreases in personnel-related costs as a result of headcount reduction.

Research and Development 
Research and development expenses consist of personnel and related overhead costs for contractors and outside consultants, supplies and materials, equipment depreciation and facilities costs, all associated with the design and development of new products and enhancements of existing products.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, research and development expenses remained relatively consistent, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, research and development expenses decreased $5.4 million, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by lower outsourcing expenses.
Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 6.0% and 6.3% in the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, to 6.5% and 6.8% in the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, reflecting our continued investment in innovation.

General and Administrative 
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related overhead, information technology, and facilities costs for the infrastructure functions such as finance, information systems, executives, human resources and legal.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses increased $8.9 million and $14.4 million, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by higher personnel-related costs, mainly due to higher accruals for performance-based compensation.

Amortization of Intangible Assets and Acquisition-Related Costs

Amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization of acquired intangible assets, including customer relationships and trademarks and trade names. Acquisition-related costs include legal expenses, due diligence costs, and other professional costs incurred for business acquisitions.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related costs remained relatively flat, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022.

Restructuring Charges (Credits), Net

The restructuring charges (credits), net for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were related to costs incurred as a result of our restructuring plan initiated during fiscal year 2023. We expect to substantially complete this restructuring plan within fiscal year 2024.

See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We invest in highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, which are classified as cash equivalents. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, interest income increased $8.4 million and $16.8 million, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by the increase in interest rates.

Table of Contents
Investment gain (loss) related to the deferred compensation plan represents earnings, gains, and losses on marketable securities related to a deferred compensation plan offered by one of our subsidiaries. The investment gain or loss for three and six months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, primarily relates to the change in market performance of the underlying securities.

Currency exchange loss, net, relates to balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency in our subsidiaries, as well as to the sale of currencies, and gains or losses recognized on currency exchange forward contracts. We do not speculate in currency positions, but we are alert to opportunities to maximize currency exchange gains and minimize currency exchange losses. The loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the weakening of the Swiss Franc against the U.S. Dollar. The loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the weakening of the Australian Dollar and the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar offset by gains in the Swiss Franc. The loss for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to weakening of the Japanese Yen against the U.S. Dollar. The loss for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the weakening of the Brazilian Real, Australian Dollar, and the Japanese Yen, offset by the gain from the weakening of the Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. Dollar.

Gain (loss) on investments, net, includes unrealized gain (loss) from the fair value change of investment, gain (loss) on equity-method investments and impairment of investments during the periods presented, as applicable. The loss on investments, net for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an impairment loss, as a result of the write-off of a note receivable which has been deemed no longer recoverable. This note receivable was previously obtained in conjunction with an exchange transaction related to our investment in a privately held company. The loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to impairment charges related to one of our equity method investments. The loss for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was partially offset by an unrealized gain related to one of our equity method investments without readily determinable fair value resulting from observable price changes. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes and effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
 Three months ended September 30,Six months ended September 30,
 2023202220232022

Effective income tax rate18.1 %22.2 %17.7 %19.8 %

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate and the tax impact from share-based compensation, compared with the three and six months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Balances, Available Borrowings, and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,163.9 million, compared with $1,149.0 million as of March 31, 2023. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand deposits and short-term time deposits, of which 65% is held in Switzerland and 12% were held in China (including Hong Kong). We do not expect to incur any material adverse tax impact except for what has already been recognized, or to be significantly inhibited by any country in which we do business, from the repatriation of funds to Switzerland, our country of domicile.

As of September 30, 2023, our working capital was $1,405.3 million, compared to $1,555.1 million as of March 31, 2023. The decrease was driven by a reduction in inventories and an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a decline in accrued and other current liabilities and an increase in accounts receivable.

We had several uncommitted, unsecured bank lines of credit and letters of credit aggregating $171.5 million as of September 30, 2023. There are no financial covenants under these lines of credit with which we must comply.

There was no borrowing outstanding under the lines of credit as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $12.2 million under these lines of credit.

(1) DSO is determined using ending accounts receivable, net as of the most recent quarter-end and sales for the most recent quarter.
(2) DPO is determined using ending accounts payable as of the most recent quarter-end and cost of goods sold for the most recent quarter. 
(3) ITO is determined using ending inventories and annualized cost of goods sold (based on the most recent quarterly cost of goods sold).

DSO for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased by 5 days to 56 days, compared to 61 days for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the timing of sales within the quarter.

DPO for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 3 days to 72 days, compared to 69 days for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to softened demand, offset by lower inventory purchases and marketing spend.

ITO for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 1.4, compared to 3.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to lower inventory as of September 30, 2023 resulting from focused inventory management to align with softened demand.

If we are not successful in launching and phasing in our new products, or market competition increases, or we are not able to sell the new products at the prices planned, it could have a material impact on our sales, gross profit margin, operating results including operating cash flow, and inventory turnover in the future.

Table of Contents
For the six months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $463.1 million resulting from net income of $199.8 million, a favorable impact from adding back non-cash expenses totaling $112.1 million, and a favorable net change in operating assets and liabilities of $151.2 million. Non-cash expenses were primarily related to share-based compensation expenses, and depreciation and amortization. The increase in accounts receivable, net was primarily driven by higher sales. The decrease in inventories was primarily driven by our effort to manage inventory level. The increase in accounts payable was due to timing of inventory purchases in preparation for the holiday season. The decrease in accrued and other liabilities was primarily driven by reduction in accrued liabilities related to our customer marketing, pricing and incentive programs and sales return liability in line with reduction in channel inventory.
For the six months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $49.2 million, primarily resulting from $34.7 million of purchases of property, plant, and equipment and $14.1 million payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired.
For the six months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $388.3 million, primarily resulting from payment for repurchases of our registered shares of $188.9 million and payment of cash dividends of $182.3 million.
For the six months ended September 30, 2023, there was a $10.8 million loss from currency exchange rate effect on cash and cash equivalents, primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations of Swiss Franc, Euro, and Chinese Renminbi versus the U.S. Dollar, and timing of our cash transactions over the period. The loss from currency translation exchange rate effect during the six months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the weakening of the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar, New Taiwan Dollar and the Japanese Yen versus the U.S. Dollar.
Cash Outlook
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow generated from operations, and, to a much lesser extent, capital markets and borrowings. Our future working capital requirements and capital expenditures may increase to support investments in product innovations and growth opportunities or to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, services, and technologies. Market volatility driven by the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment may increase our costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
In fiscal year 2024, we paid a cash dividend of CHF 169.1 million (U.S. Dollar amount of $182.3 million based on the exchange rate on the date of payment) out of fiscal year 2023 retained earnings. In fiscal year 2023, we paid a cash dividend of CHF 156.1 million (U.S. Dollar amount of $158.7 million based on the exchange rate on the date of payment) out of fiscal year 2022 retained earnings. In fiscal year 2022, we paid a cash dividend of CHF 147.0 million (U.S. Dollar amount of $159.4 million) out of fiscal year 2021 retained earnings.
In May 2020, our Board of Directors approved the 2020 share repurchase program, which authorized us to invest up to $250.0 million to purchase our own shares to support equity incentive plans or potential acquisitions. In April 2021, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $750.0 million to the 2020 share repurchase program, to an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion. The Swiss Takeover Board approved this increase and it became effective on May 21, 2021. In July 2022, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $500 million to the 2020 share repurchase program to an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 billion. The Swiss Takeover Board approved this increase and it became effective on August 19, 2022. The 2020 share repurchase program expired on July 27, 2023. We repurchased 16.7 million shares for an aggregate cost of $1.2 billion under the 2020 share repurchase program, of which 2.6 million shares for an aggregate cost of $159.1 million were repurchased during the six months ended September 30, 2023.
In June 2023, our Board of Directors approved a new, three-year share repurchase program, which allows us to use up to $1.0 billion to repurchase our shares. The 2023 share repurchase program enables us to repurchase shares for cancellation, as well as to support equity incentive plans or potential acquisitions. The Swiss Takeover Board approved the 2023 share repurchase program in July 2023 and the program became effective on July 28, 2023. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.9 million shares for an aggregate cost of $60.1 million under the 2023 share repurchase program for the purpose of cancellation, of which $30.2 million of the aggregate cost was not paid yet as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $940.0 million was available for repurchase under the 2023 share repurchase program.
Swiss law limits a company’s ability to hold or repurchase its own shares. The aggregate par value of all shares held in treasury by us and our subsidiaries may not exceed 10% of our share capital, which corresponds to
34

Table of Contents
approximately 17.3 million registered shares. This limitation does not apply to shares repurchased for cancellation, due to the Board of Directors' authority under the capital band set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation to cancel shares up to a limit of 10% of our current share capital. As of September 30, 2023, we had a total of 16.0 million shares held in treasury stock, which includes 0.9 million shares that have been repurchased for cancellation.
Although we enter into trading plans for systematic repurchases (e.g., 10b5-1 trading plans) from time to time, our 2023 share repurchase program provides us with the opportunity to make opportunistic repurchases during periods of favorable market conditions and is expected to remain in effect for a period of three years through July 27, 2026. To the extent that the shares are repurchased to support equity incentive plans or potential acquisitions, the share are repurchased on the ordinary trading line of Swiss Exchange ("SIX") and/or the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq"). Shares repurchased for cancellation purposes are repurchased via a second trading line on SIX. Opportunistic purchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors.
If we do not generate sufficient operating cash flows to support our operations and future planned cash requirements, our operations could be harmed and our access to credit facilities could be restricted or eliminated. However, we believe that the trend of our historical cash flow generation, our projections of future operations and our available cash balances will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
Operating Leases Obligations 
We lease facilities under operating leases, certain of which require us to pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Operating leases for facilities are generally renewable at our option and usually include escalation clauses linked to inflation. There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. The remaining terms of our non-cancelable operating leases expire in various years through 2033.
 
Purchase Commitments
 
As of September 30, 2023, we had non-cancelable purchase commitments of $391.5 million for inventory purchases made in the normal course of business from original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers and other suppliers, the majority of which are expected to be fulfilled within the next 12 months. We record a liability for firm, non-cancelable, and unhedged inventory purchase commitments in excess of anticipated demand or net realizable value consistent with our valuation of excess and obsolete inventory. As of September 30, 2023, the liability for these purchase commitments was $33.2 million and is recorded in accrued and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

We have firm purchase commitments of $10.7 million for capital expenditures primarily related to commitments for tooling and equipment for new and existing products. We expect to continue making capital expenditures in the future to support product development activities and ongoing and expanded operations. Although open purchase commitments are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow us to reschedule or adjust our requirements based on business needs prior to delivery of goods or performance of services.

Other Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
For further detail about our contractual obligations and commitments, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Indemnifications
 
We indemnify certain suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes and product safety defects, subject to certain restrictions. The scope of these indemnities varies, but in some instances includes indemnification for damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. As of September 30, 2023, no material amounts have been accrued for indemnification provisions. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under our indemnification arrangements.
 
We also indemnify our current and former directors and certain current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. We are unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these
35

exposures are not capped, the obligations are conditional in nature, and the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable.

Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time we are involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. For more information about Legal Proceedings, see Part II Item 1 Legal Proceedings of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market Risk
 
Market risk represents the potential for loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments. As a company with global operations, we face exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates and interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
 
Currency Exchange Rates
 
We report our results in U.S. Dollars. Changes in currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. Dollar can have a material impact on our results when the financial statements of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars. The functional currency of our operations is primarily the U.S. Dollar. Certain operations use the Swiss Franc or the local currency of the country as their functional currencies. Accordingly, unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of net assets or liabilities denominated in other currencies to the U.S. Dollar are accumulated in the cumulative translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") in shareholders' equity.

We are exposed to currency exchange rate risk as we transact business in multiple currencies, including exposure related to anticipated sales, anticipated purchases and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We transact business in approximately 30 currencies worldwide, of which the most significant to operations are the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Pound Sterling and New Taiwan Dollar. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 50% of our sales were in non-U.S. denominated currencies, with 23% of our sales denominated in Euro. The mix of our costs of goods sold and operating expenses by currency are significantly different from the mix of our sales, with a larger portion denominated in U.S. Dollar and less denominated in Euro and other currencies. A strengthening U.S. Dollar has a more unfavorable impact on our sales compared to the favorable impact on our cost of goods sold and operating expenses, resulting in an adverse impact on our operating results. 

We enter into currency forward and swap contracts to reduce the short-term effects of currency fluctuations on certain receivables or payables denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of our subsidiaries. These contracts generally mature within approximately one month. The gains or losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings based on the changes in fair value.

If an adverse 10% foreign currency exchange rate change had been applied to total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies at the balance sheet dates, it would have resulted in an adverse effect on income before income taxes of approximately $10.9 million and $17.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The adverse effect as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 is after consideration of the offsetting effect of approximately $9.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively, from foreign exchange contracts in place as of such dates.
We enter into cash flow hedge contracts to protect against exchange rate exposure of forecasted inventory purchases. These hedging contracts mature within approximately four months. Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedges are deferred as a component of AOCI until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, at which time the gains or losses are reclassified to cost of goods sold.
If the U.S. dollar had weakened by 10%, the amount recorded in AOCI related to our foreign exchange contracts before tax effect as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 would have been approximately $11.9 million and $7.3 million lower, respectively. The change in the fair value recorded in AOCI would be expected to
36

Table of Contents
offset a corresponding foreign currency change in cost of goods sold when the hedged inventory purchases are sold.

Logitech's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Definition of Disclosure Controls

Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Disclosure Controls include components of its internal control over financial reporting, which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. To the extent that components of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are included within its Disclosure Controls, they are included in the scope of the Company’s annual controls evaluation.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, does not expect that the Company’s Disclosure Controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is currently subject to several such claims and legal proceedings. The Company intends to vigorously defend against them. Management periodically assesses the Company’s liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest information available. The Company follows ASC ("Accounting Standards Codification") 450 in determining the accounting and disclosure for these contingencies. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that resolution of pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the Company's defenses will be successful or that any such lawsuit or claim would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations in a particular period. Any claims or proceedings against the Company can have an adverse impact because of defense costs, diversion of management and operational resources, negative publicity and other factors. Any failure to obtain a necessary license or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims, could adversely affect the Company's business.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
The Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and stock price can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.” When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and stock price can be materially and adversely affected. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K, as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended on June 30, 2023.
