Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Logitech and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) for interim financial information and therefore do not include all the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a reduction in deferred tax assets and a decrease to retained earnings of $6.3 million, related to vested unexercised non-qualified stock options for former employees who terminated in fiscal year 2012 and prior. We reviewed this accounting error utilizing SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Effects of Prior Year Misstatements on Current Year Financial Statements, and determined the impact of the error to be immaterial to any period presented.

Table of Contents

Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no impact on previously reported net income.

In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2013, or any future periods.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. Interim quarters are thirteen-week periods, each ending on a Friday. For purposes of presentation, the Company has indicated its quarterly periods as ending on the month end.

Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no substantial changes in our significant accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. 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 from those estimates.

Note 3 — Net Loss per Share

The computations of basic and diluted net loss per share for the Company were as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

	Three months ended June 30,
	2012			2011

Net loss	$	(52,145	)	$	(29,606	)

Weighted average shares - basic	160,733			179,331
Effect of potentially dilutive share equivalents	—			—
Weighted average shares - diluted	160,733			179,331

Net loss per share - basic	$	(0.32	)	$	(0.17	)
Net loss per share - diluted	$	(0.32	)	$	(0.17	)

Employee stock options, restricted stock units and similar share-based compensation awards granted by the Company are treated as potential shares in computing diluted net income per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share-based awards which is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount that the employee must pay for exercising share-based awards, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax impact that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

Table of Contents

Share equivalents attributable to outstanding stock options and RSUs (restricted stock units) of 18,955,767 and 15,939,015 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 4 — Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Share Purchase Plans and Stock Incentive Plans

As of June 30, 2012, the Company offers the 2006 ESPP (2006 Employee Share Purchase Plan (Non-U.S.)), the 1996 ESPP (1996 Employee Share Purchase Plan (U.S.)), the 2006 Plan (2006 Stock Incentive Plan) and the 2012 Plan (2012 Stock Inducement Equity Plan). The 2012 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors in April 2012. On April 13, 2012, the Company filed Registration Statements to register 5.0 million additional shares to be issued pursuant to the 2006 ESPP, and 1.8 million shares under the 2012 Plan. Shares issued to employees as a result of purchases or exercises under these plans are generally issued from shares held in treasury.

The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

	Three months ended
	June 30,
	2012			2011

Cost of goods sold	$	789		$	1,160
Share-based compensation expense included in gross profit	789			1,160
Operating expenses:

Research and development	1,825			1,808
General and administrative	1,777			3,230
Share-based compensation expense included in operating expenses	5,382			8,555
Total share-based compensation expense	6,171			9,715
Income tax benefit	(1,376		)	(2,389		)
Share-based compensation expense, net of income tax	$	4,795		$	7,326

Share-based compensation expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 includes a reduction of $1.6 million in expense applicable to employees terminated as a result of the restructuring plan announced in April 2012. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, $0.5 million and $0.9 million of share-based compensation cost was capitalized to inventory.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes total share-based compensation cost not yet recognized and the number of months over which such cost is expected to be recognized, on a weighted-average basis by type of grant (in thousands, except number of months):

	June 30, 2012
	Compensation Cost Not Yet Recognized		Months of Future Recognition

Non-vested stock options	$	7,202	17
Premium-priced stock options	2,769		45
Time-based RSUs	27,790		22
Performance-based RSUs	5,454		19
Total compensation cost not yet recognized	$	43,215

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data; exercise prices are weighted averages):

	Three Months ended June 30,
	2012				2011
	Number		Exercise Price		Number		Exercise Price

Options outstanding, beginning of period	13,034		$	19	16,312		$	19
Granted	1,700		14		—		—

Cancelled or expired	(439	)	19		(599	)	22
Options outstanding, end of period	14,211		18		15,639		20
Options exercisable, end of period	10,984		$	19	11,446		$	20

The total pretax intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.5 million and $0.3 million and the tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from options exercised during each of those periods was $0.1 million. The total fair value of options vested as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $70.6 million and $74.9 million.

The fair value of employee stock options granted and shares purchased under the Company’s employee purchase plans was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company also granted premium-priced stock options which will vest in full if and only when Logitech’s average closing share price, over a consecutive ninety-day trading period, meets or exceeds the exercise price of the grants. The fair value of premium-priced stock options was estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation method. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The table below presents the assumptions used to determine the fair value of employee stock options, premium-priced stock options and shares purchased under the employee purchase plans:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011	2012		2011
	Purchase Plans				Stock Option Plans			Premium-Priced Stock Options

Dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%	n/a	0	%	n/a
Expected life	6 months		6 months		4 years		n/a	7 years		n/a
Expected volatility	64	%	33	%	46	%	n/a	46	%	n/a
Risk-free interest rate	0.08	%	0.17	%	1.20	%	n/a	2.00	%	n/a

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and future expectations of dividend payouts. The Company has not paid dividends since 1996. If approved by shareholders, the distribution of qualifying additional paid-in capital described in Note 11 is expected by management to be a one-time event. The expected option life represents the weighted-average period the stock options or purchase offerings are expected to remain outstanding. The expected life is based on historical settlement rates, which the Company believes are most representative of future exercise and post-vesting termination behaviors. Expected share price volatility is based on historical

Table of Contents

volatility using the Company’s daily closing prices over the term of past options or purchase offerings. The Company considers historical share price volatility of its shares as most representative of future volatility. The risk-free interest rate assumptions are based upon the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues appropriate for the term of the Company’s stock options or purchase offerings.

The Company estimates option forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

The following table presents the weighted average grant-date fair values of options granted and the expected forfeiture rates. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011	2012			2011
	Purchase Plans						Stock Option Plans				Premium-Priced Stock Options

Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted	$	2.67		$	4.69		$	8.03		n/a	$	2.52		n/a
Expected forfeitures	0		%	0		%	11		%	n/a	0		%	n/a

The Company has granted time-based RSUs, which vest in annual installments on the grant-date anniversary, and performance-based RSUs, which vest at the end of the performance period upon meeting certain share price performance criteria measured against market conditions. A summary of the Company’s time- and performance-based RSU activity for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows (in thousands, except per share values; grant-date fair values are weighted averages):

	Three Months ended June 30,

Granted	170		$	9	714		$	13
Vested	(60	)	$	14	(50	)	$	13
Cancelled or expired	(240	)	$	16	(155	)	$	19
RSUs outstanding, end of period	3,995		$	13	2,879		$	20

The total pretax intrinsic value (fair value) of RSUs vested during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.8 million and $0.7 million and the tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from RSUs vested during each of those periods was $0.2 million.

The Company determines the fair value of time-based RSUs based on the market price of the Company’s shares on the date of grant. The fair value of performance-based RSUs is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation method applying the following assumptions:

	Q1 FY 2013 Grants	FY 2012 Grants

Dividend yield	n/a	0	%
Expected life	n/a	3 years
Expected volatility	n/a	51	%
Risk-free interest rate	n/a	1.35	%

Table of Contents

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and future expectations of dividend payouts. If approved by shareholders, the distribution of qualifying additional paid-in capital described in Note 11 is expected by management to be a one-time event. The expected life of the performance-based RSUs is the service period at the end of which the RSUs will vest if the performance conditions are satisfied. The volatility assumption is based on the actual volatility of Logitech’s daily closing share price over a look-back period equal to the years of expected life. The risk free interest rate is derived from the yield on U.S. Treasury Bonds for a term of the same number of years as the expected life.

Defined Contribution Plans

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have defined contribution employee benefit plans covering all or a portion of their employees. Contributions to these plans are discretionary for certain plans and are based on specified or statutory requirements for others. The charges to expense for these plans for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $2.8 million and $3.1 million.

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 net periodic benefit cost for defined benefit pension plans and non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,

Note 5 — 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 income taxes are generated outside of Switzerland.

Tax benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $6.9 million and $9.5 million based on effective income tax rates of 11.7% and 24.4% of pre-tax loss. The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2011 is

Table of Contents

primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the treatment of restructuring expenses as a discrete event in determining the annual effective tax rate.

As of June 30 and March 31, 2012, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and related accrued interest and penalties due to uncertain tax positions was $141.0 million and $143.3 million, of which $124.0 million and $125.4 million would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized. The Company classified the unrecognized tax benefits as non-current income taxes payable.

The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30 and March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $7.5 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to 1999. During fiscal year 2012, the IRS (U.S. Internal Revenue Service) completed its field examinations of tax returns for the Company’s U.S. subsidiary for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, and issued NOPAs (notices of proposed adjustment) related to international tax issues for those years. The Company disagreed with the NOPAs and contested through the administrative process for the IRS claims regarding 2006 and 2007. On July 2, 2012, the IRS issued an RAR (Revenue Agent’s Report) for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 proposing revised assessments resulting from the administrative process. On July 12, 2012, the Company accepted the proposed revised assessments. The IRS is completing their RAR review process which generally takes sixty days from the time of acceptance. The proposed revised assessments will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results.

In addition, the IRS is in the process of examining the Company’s U.S. subsidiary for fiscal years 2008 and 2009. The Company is also under examination and has received assessment notices in other tax jurisdictions. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on the Company’s consolidated operating results.

Although the Company has adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions on these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. It is reasonably possible that resolution of fiscal years 2006 and 2007 with the IRS will lead to a decrease of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months, which may have a material positive effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the change as of June 30, 2012.

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.

Table of Contents

· 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 following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value, except for assets related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, classified by the level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand deposits and time deposits. The time deposits have original maturities of less than 32 days. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio consists of marketable securities related to a deferred compensation plan and auction rate securities collateralized by residential and commercial mortgages.

The marketable securities related to the deferred compensation plan are classified as non-current trading investments and do not have maturity dates. Since participants in the deferred compensation plan may select the mutual funds in which their compensation deferrals are invested, and may actively trade funds within the confines of the Rabbi Trust which holds the marketable securities, the Company has designated these marketable securities as trading investments. Management has classified the investments as non-current assets because final sale of the investments or realization of proceeds by plan participants is not expected within the Company’s normal operating cycle of one year. The marketable securities are recorded at a fair value of $14.2 million and $14.3 million as of June 30 and March 31, 2012, based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Earnings, gains and losses on trading investments are included in other income

Table of Contents

(expense), net. Unrealized trading loss of $0.3 million are included in other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and relate to trading securities held at June 30, 2012.

The auction rate securities are classified as non-current available-for-sale securities. These securities are collateralized by residential and commercial mortgages, and are second-priority senior secured floating rate notes with maturity dates in excess of 10 years. Interest rates on these notes were intended to reset through an auction every 28 days, however auctions for these securities have failed since August 2007. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold its remaining two auction rate securities with a total carrying value of $0.4 million and a total par value of $15.2 million for $0.9 million. This sale resulted in $0.8 million of gain recognized in other income (expense), net, $0.3 million of which resulted from the recognition of a temporary increase in fair value previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The par value and original cost of the auction rate securities held as of March 31, 2012 was $15.2 million. These securities were recorded at an estimated fair value of $0.4 million at March 31, 2012. The estimated fair value was determined by estimating future cash flows through time according to each security’s terms, including periodic consideration of overcollateralization and interest coverage tests, and incorporating estimates of default rate, loss severity, prepayment, and delinquency assumptions when available, for the underlying assets in the securities based on representative indices and various research reports. The estimated coupon and principal payments were discounted at the rate of return required by investors, based on the characteristics of each security as calculated from the indices. Such valuation methods fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to its subsidiaries’ forecasted inventory purchases. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is the foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company has designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges. Logitech does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. These hedging contracts mature within four months, and are denominated in the same currency as the underlying transactions. 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. The Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedges by comparing changes in the spot rate of the currency underlying the forward contract with changes in the spot rate of the currency in which the forecasted transaction will be consummated. If the underlying transaction being hedged fails to occur or if a portion of the hedge does not generate offsetting changes in the foreign currency exposure of forecasted inventory purchases, the Company immediately recognizes the gain or loss on the associated financial instrument in other income (expense). Such gains and losses were immaterial during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $98.2 million (€78.0 million) and $66.3 million (€45.8 million) at June 30, 2012 and 2011. The notional amount represents the future cash flows under contracts to purchase foreign currencies.

Other Derivatives

The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables or payables. These forward contracts generally mature within three months. The Company may also enter into foreign exchange swap contracts to economically extend the terms of its foreign exchange forward contracts. The primary risk managed by using forward and swap contracts is the foreign currency exchange rate risk. The gains or losses on foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in earnings based on the changes in fair value.

The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 and 2011 relating to foreign currency receivables or payables were $6.4 million and $8.9 million. Open forward contracts as of June 30, 2012 consisted of contracts in euros to sell British pounds and contracts in Australian dollars to purchase U.S. dollars at future dates at pre-determined exchange rates. Open forward contracts as of June 30, 2011 consisted of contracts in British pounds to purchase euros at a future date at a predetermined exchange rate. The notional amounts of foreign exchange swap contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $24.7 million and $14.6 million. Swap contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 consisted of contracts in Taiwanese dollars, Mexican pesos and Japanese yen. Swap contracts outstanding at June 30, 2011 consisted of contracts in Mexican pesos and Japanese yen.

Table of Contents

The fair value of all our foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange 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 consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 8 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

There were no changes in the Company’s goodwill accounts during the three months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011 attributable to activity other than fluctuations in foreign currency rates.

The Company evaluates the goodwill of each reporting unit for impairment at least annually as of December 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances warrant. The Company’s reporting units consist of peripherals and video conferencing. On April 25, 2012, the Company announced a restructuring plan as described in Note 13, and as a result, management performed a test to evaluate the recoverability of goodwill after implementation of the restructuring. The Company measures the recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model, which considers estimates of projected future operating results and cash flows, discounted at an estimated after-tax weighted-average cost of capital. In addition, market-based valuation techniques are used to test the reasonableness of the value indicated by the discounted cash flow model. In the market-based valuation technique, the implied premium of the aggregate fair value over the market capitalization is considered attributable to an acquisition control premium, which is the price in excess of a stock’s market price that investors would typically pay to gain control of an entity. The discounted cash flow model and the market-based valuation techniques require the exercise of significant judgment, including assumptions about appropriate discount rates, long-term growth rates for purposes of determining a terminal value at the end of the discrete forecast period, economic expectations, timing of expected future cash flows, and expectations of returns on equity that will be achieved. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities other than goodwill, comparing the resulting implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount, and recording an impairment charge for the difference.

As of June 30, 2012, the carrying value of goodwill attributable to its peripherals and video conferencing reporting units was $219.3 million and $338.9 million. The goodwill impairment evaluation performed by management as of June 30, 2012 indicated that the fair value of its peripherals reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit by more than 70% of the carrying value, and the fair value of its video conferencing reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit by more than 100% of the carrying value.

In connection with the restructuring, management also reviewed long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and intangible assets, for recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with those assets to their carrying values. No impairment of long-lived assets was required as a result of the review.

Management continues to evaluate and monitor all key factors impacting the carrying value of the Company’s recorded goodwill and long-lived assets. Further adverse changes in the Company’s expected operating results, market capitalization, business climate, or other negative events could result in a material non-cash impairment charge in the future.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, amortization expense for other intangible assets was $6.2 million and $6.6 million. The Company expects that amortization expense for the remaining nine months of fiscal year 2013 will be $18.2 million, and annual amortization expense for fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016 will be $18.2 million, $9.1 million, and $1.2 million, and $0.3 million thereafter.

Note 9 — Financing Arrangements

The credit facility matures on October 31, 2016. The Company may prepay the loans under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the credit facility will accrue interest at a per annum rate based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), or EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) in the case of loans denominated in euros, plus a variable margin determined quarterly based on the ratio of senior debt-to-earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the preceding four-quarter period, plus, if applicable, an additional rate per annum intended to compensate the lenders for the cost of compliance with regulatory reserve requirements and other banking regulations. The Company also pays a quarterly commitment fee of 40% of the applicable margin on the available commitment. In connection with entering into the credit facility, the Company incurred non-recurring fees totaling $1.5 million, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the credit facility.

The facility agreement contains representations, covenants, including threshold financial covenants, and events of default customary in Swiss credit markets. Affirmative covenants include covenants regarding reporting requirements, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of properties and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and financial covenants that require the maintenance of net senior debt, interest cover and adjusted equity ratios determined in accordance with the terms of the facility. Negative covenants limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, among other things, to grant liens, make investments, incur debt, make restricted payments, enter into a merger or acquisition, or sell, transfer or dispose of assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions.

Upon an uncured event of default under the facility, the lenders may declare all or a portion of the outstanding obligations payable by the Company to be immediately due and payable, terminate their commitments and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the facility. The events of default under the facility include, among other things, payment defaults, covenant defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events and events that have a material adverse effect (as defined in the facility). Upon a change of control of the Company, lenders whose commitments aggregate more than two-thirds of the total commitments under the facility may terminate the commitments and declare all outstanding obligations to be due and payable.

Table of Contents

The Company had several uncommitted, unsecured bank lines of credit aggregating $43.9 million at June 30, 2012. There are no financial covenants under these lines of credit with which the Company must comply. At June 30, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit. The Company also had credit lines related to corporate credit cards totaling $29.9 million as of June 30, 2012. The outstanding borrowings under these credit lines are recorded in other current liabilities. There are no financial covenants under these credit lines.

Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases facilities under operating leases, certain of which require it to pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Operating leases for facilities are generally renewable at the Company’s option and usually include escalation clauses linked to inflation. Future minimum annual rentals under non-cancelable operating leases at June 30, 2012 amounted to $106.0 million. In the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized additional rent expense of $3.4 million, representing the fair value of future rent obligations on its former Americas headquarters, which are no longer used by the Company.

In connection with its leased facilities, the Company has recognized a liability for asset retirement obligations representing the present value of estimated remediation costs to be incurred at lease expiration. The following table describes changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligation liability for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,

Asset retirement obligations, end of period	$	2,001	$	1,670

Product Warranties

Certain of the Company’s products are covered by warranty to be free from defects in material and workmanship for periods ranging from one year to five years. At the time of sale, the Company accrues a warranty liability for estimated costs to provide products, parts or services to repair or replace products in satisfaction of the warranty obligation. The Company’s estimate of costs to fulfill its warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectations of future conditions. When the Company experiences changes in warranty claim activity or costs associated with fulfilling those claims, the warranty liability is adjusted accordingly. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,
	2012			2011

Warranty liability, beginning of period	$	5,184		$	4,970
Provision for warranties issued during the period	1,632			4,421
Settlements made during the period	(1,995		)	(4,758		)

Purchase Commitments

At June 30, 2012, the Company had the following outstanding purchase commitments:

	June 30, 2012

Inventory purchases	$	152,617
Operating expenses	57,655
Capital expenditures	21,896
Total purchase commitments	$	232,168

Commitments for inventory purchases are made in the normal course of business to original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers and other suppliers and are expected to be fulfilled by December 2012. Operating expense commitments are for consulting services, marketing arrangements, advertising, outsourced customer services, information technology maintenance and support services, and other services. Fixed purchase commitments for capital expenditures primarily related to commitments for computer hardware and leasehold improvements. Although open purchase orders are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow the Company the option to reschedule and adjust its requirements based on the business needs prior to delivery of goods or performance of services.

Guarantees

Logitech International S.A., the parent holding company, has guaranteed payment of the purchase obligations of various subsidiaries from certain component suppliers. These guarantees generally have an unlimited term. The maximum potential future payment under the guarantee arrangements is limited to $36.0 million. At June 30, 2012, there were no purchase obligations outstanding for which the parent holding company was required to guarantee payment.

Logitech Europe S.A., a subsidiary of the parent holding company, has guaranteed the purchase obligations of another Logitech subsidiary and third-party contract manufacturers under three guarantee agreements. Two of these guarantees do not specify a maximum amount. The remaining guarantee has a total limit of $7.0 million. As of June 30, 2012, $3.6 million of guaranteed purchase obligations were outstanding under these guarantees. Logitech Europe S.A. has also guaranteed payment of the purchase obligations of a third-party contract manufacturer under three guarantee agreements. The maximum amount of these guarantees was $3.7 million as of June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, $1.7 million of guaranteed purchase obligations were outstanding under these agreements.

Logitech International S.A. and Logitech Europe S.A. have guaranteed certain contingent liabilities of various subsidiaries related to transactions occurring in the normal course of business. The maximum amount of the guarantees was $67.9 million as of June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, $15.7 million of guaranteed liabilities were subject to these guarantees.

Indemnifications

Logitech indemnifies some 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. No amounts have been accrued for indemnification provisions at June 30, 2012. 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.

Table of Contents

Logitech 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. Logitech is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these 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

On May 23, 2011, a class action complaint was filed against Logitech International S.A. and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of individuals who purchased Logitech shares between October 28, 2010 and April 1, 2011. The complaint relates to Logitech’s disclosure on March 31, 2011 that its results for fiscal year 2011 would fall below expectations and seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief against the defendants. The action was transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on July 28, 2011. The California Court appointed a lead plaintiff on October 27, 2011. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 9, 2012 which expanded the alleged class period to between October 28, 2010 and September 22, 2011. On July 13, 2012, the California Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint, with leave to amend.

On July 15, 2011, a complaint was filed against Logitech International S.A. and two of its subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by Universal Electronics, Inc. (UEI). On November 3, 2011, the Company filed a counter suit against UEI. On July 18, 2012, Logitech and UEI signed a nonbinding settlement and license agreement term sheet, and the District Court thereafter dismissed the suits without prejudice to the right, upon good cause shown within 60 days, to reopen the action if a settlement is not consummated.

In addition, from time to time the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is currently subject to several such claims and a small number of legal proceedings.

The Company believes these lawsuits and claims lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. However, there can be no assurances that its defenses will be successful, or that any judgment or settlement in any of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. The Company is presently unable to estimate the effects of these claims and legal proceedings on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Note 11 — Shareholders’ Equity

The Company has two operating segments, peripherals and video conferencing, based on product markets and internal organizational structure. The peripherals segment encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of peripherals for PCs (personal computers), tablets and other digital platforms. The video conferencing segment consists of the LifeSize division, and encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of LifeSize video conferencing products, infrastructure and services for the enterprise, public sector and other business markets. The Company’s operating segments do not record revenue on sales between segments, as such sales are not material.

Note 13 — Restructuring

On April 25, 2012, Logitech announced a restructuring plan to simplify the Company’s organization, to better align costs with its current business, and to free up resources to pursue growth opportunities. A majority of the restructuring activity was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2012. As part of this restructuring plan, the Company reduced its worldwide non-direct-labor workforce by approximately 340 employees. Charges and other costs related to the workforce reduction are presented as restructuring charges in the consolidated statements of operations. Charges of approximately $3.0 million related to discontinuance of certain product development efforts are included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates completing the restructuring plan during the current fiscal year, and incurring additional pre-tax restructuring charges related to employee termination costs, lease exit costs, and other associated costs of less than $5 million during the remaining nine months of fiscal year 2013.

The following table summarizes restructuring related activities during the three months ended June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

	Total			Termination Benefits			Lease Exit Costs		Other

Balance at March 31, 2012	$	—		$	—		$	—	$	—

Charges	31,227			28,655			1,472		1,100

Foreign exchange	63			63			—		—

Balance at June 30, 2012	$	26,095		$	23,952		$	1,472	$	671

Termination benefits were calculated based on regional benefit practices and local statutory requirements. Lease exit costs primarily relate to costs associated with the closure of existing facilities. Other charges primarily consist of legal, consulting and other costs related to employee terminations.

Note 14 — Subsequent Event

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company discontinued sales of a product which it determined carried an inaccurate regulatory label, and plans to withdraw the product from its customers and either re-label or replace the product. The Company evaluated whether this matter resulted in a probable and estimable loss, and concluded that there was no significant loss that should have been recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2012. In addition, the Company does not currently expect a material impact from this issue on future results of operations or cash flows.

Overview of Our Company

Logitech is a world leader in products that connect people to the digital experiences they care about. Spanning multiple computing, communication and entertainment platforms, we develop and market innovative hardware and software products that enable or enhance digital navigation, music and video entertainment, gaming, social networking, audio and video communication over the Internet, video security and home-entertainment control. We have two operating segments, peripherals and video conferencing.

Our peripherals segment encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of peripherals for PCs (personal computers), tablets and other digital platforms. Our products for home and business PCs include mice, trackballs, keyboards, interactive gaming controllers, multimedia speakers, headsets and webcams. Our tablet accessories include keyboards, keyboard cases and covers, headsets, wireless speakers, earphones and stands. Our Internet communications products include webcams, headsets, video communications services, and digital video security systems. Our digital music products include speakers, earphones, custom in-ear monitors and Squeezebox Wi-Fi music players. For home entertainment systems, we offer the Harmony line of advanced remote controls. Our gaming products include a range of gaming controllers and microphones, as well as other accessories.

Our brand, portfolio management, product definition and engineering teams in our peripherals segment are responsible for product strategy, technological innovation, product design and development, and bringing our products to market. Our business groups are organized by product categories. Our global marketing organization is responsible for developing and building the Logitech brand, consumer insight, public relations and social media, customer care and digital marketing. Our regional retail sales and marketing activities are organized into

Table of Contents

three geographic areas: Americas (including North and South America), EMEA (Europe-Middle East-Africa), and Asia Pacific (including, among other countries, China, Taiwan, Japan, India and Australia).

We sell our peripheral products to a network of distributors, retailers, and OEMs. Our worldwide retail network includes wholesale distributors, consumer electronics retailers, mass merchandisers, specialty electronics stores, computer and telecommunications stores, value-added resellers, and online merchants. Sales of peripherals to our retail channels were 84% and 82% of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The large majority of our revenues have historically been derived from sales of our peripheral products for use by consumers. Our OEM customers include the majority of the world’s largest PC manufacturers. Sales to OEM customers were 8% and 10% of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Our video conferencing segment encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of LifeSize video conferencing products, infrastructure, and services for the enterprise, public sector, and other business markets. LifeSize products include scalable HD (high-definition) video communication endpoints, HD video conferencing systems with integrated monitors, video bridges and other infrastructure software and hardware to support large-scale video deployments, and services to support these products. The LifeSize division maintains a separate marketing and sales organization, which sells LifeSize products and services worldwide. LifeSize product development and product management organizations are separate, but coordinated with our peripherals business, particularly our Consumer Computing Platforms group. We sell our LifeSize products and services to distributors, value-added resellers, OEMs, and, occasionally, direct enterprise customers. Sales of LifeSize products were 8% of our net sales in each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

We seek to fulfill the increasing demand for interfaces between people and the expanding digital world across multiple platforms and user environments. The interface evolves as platforms, user models and our target markets evolve. As access to digital information has expanded, we have extended our focus to mobile devices, the digital home, and the enterprise as access points to the Internet and the digital world. All of these platforms require interfaces that are customized according to how the devices are used. We believe that continued investment in product research and development is critical to creating the innovation required to strengthen our competitive advantage and to drive future sales growth. We are committed to identifying and meeting current and future customer trends with new and improved product technologies, partnering with others where our strengths are complementary, as well as leveraging the value of the Logitech and LifeSize brands from a competitive, channel partner and consumer experience perspective. We believe innovation and product quality are important to gaining market acceptance and maintaining market leadership.

We are developing new categories of products, such as tablet accessories, expanding in emerging retail markets, such as China, Russia, India and Latin America, increasing our presence in digital music, and entering new product arenas, such as hosted video conferencing as a service, and peripherals and services for UC (unified communications). As we do so, we are confronting new competitors, many of which have more experience in the categories or markets and have greater marketing resources and brand name recognition than we have. In addition, because of the continuing convergence of the markets for computing devices and consumer electronics, we expect greater competition in the future from well-established consumer electronics companies in our new categories as well as future ones we might enter. Many of these companies have greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we have.

Our peripherals and video conferencing industries are intensely competitive. The peripherals industry is characterized by platform evolution, short product life cycles, continual performance enhancements, and rapid adoption of technological and product advancements by competitors in our retail markets, and price sensitivity in the OEM market. We experience aggressive price competition and other promotional activities from our primary competitors and from less established brands, including brands owned by some retail customers known as house brands, in response to declining consumer demand in both mature retail markets and OEM markets. We may also encounter more competition if any of our competitors in one or more categories decide to enter other categories in which we currently operate.

Table of Contents

As we address the current and future market challenges we face, we are simplifying our current product portfolio and roadmap to align our resources, prioritize our investments, and focus on fewer, more compelling products. 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.

Summary of Financial Results

Our total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased 2% compared with the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to flat retail sales and a sharp decline in OEM sales. OEM sales decreased 25% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year, and OEM units sold decreased 7%, primarily in keyboard/desktops and pointing devices.

Retail sales during the three months ended June 30, 2012 were flat and retail units increased 4% compared with the three months ended June 30, 2011. Growth in our EMEA region, led by the keyboards/desktops and audio categories, was offset by flat sales in our Asia Pacific region and sales declines in our Americas region, particularly in pointing devices, video, and gaming. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the percentage changes in our constant dollar retail sales would have been an increase of 28% in EMEA, a decrease of 1% in Asia Pacific, and a decrease of 11% in the Americas.

Sales of LifeSize Communications products, which were 8% of total net sales in both the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, increased by 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year, reflecting strong growth in the Asia Pacific region and weak sales in the Americas and EMEA regions.

Our gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012 improved to 30.8% compared with 26.1% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was negatively impacted by an inventory valuation adjustment of $34.1 million related to Logitech Revue and related peripherals. In the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the primary negative impacts on gross margin were $4.5 million in pricing actions related to the simplification of our product portfolio and $3.0 million in restructuring-related costs.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were 43% of net sales compared with 36% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Of the 19% increase over the prior year, 95% was attributable to $31.2 million in costs related to the restructuring plan initiated in April 2012.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $52.1 million compared with $29.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decline in net income was due to lower net sales and restructuring charges.

Trends in Our Business

Our sales of PC peripherals for use by consumers in the Americas and Europe have historically made up the large majority of our revenues. We believe Logitech’s future growth will be determined by our ability to create innovative products across a multiplicity of digital platforms, to sustain the growth of our PC peripherals and to optimize growth opportunities in emerging markets, products for tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices, products for the consumption of digital music, sales to enterprise markets, and LifeSize video conferencing.

Emerging Markets. In our traditional, mature markets, such as North America, Western and Nordic Europe, Japan, and Australia, although the installed base of PC users is large, consumer demand for PCs and peripherals is slowing and potentially may decline in future years. We believe there are continued growth opportunities for our PC peripherals outside the more mature markets of the Americas and Europe. However, PCs may not continue to be a growth category in emerging markets, and consumers in emerging markets may prefer tablets, smartphones, other mobile devices or other technologies. We have invested significantly in growing the number of our sales, marketing and administrative personnel in China, one of our largest target emerging markets, with the result that China was our second-largest country in retail sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. We are also expanding our presence and our sales in Russia, India and Latin America.

Tablets, Smartphones and Other Mobile Devices. The increasing popularity of smaller, mobile computing devices, such as tablets and smartphones with touch interfaces, have created new markets and usage models for peripherals and accessories. Logitech has begun to offer products to augment the use of mobile devices. For example, consumers are optimizing their audio experiences on their tablets and smartphones with premium earphones and wireless speakers that pair easily with their mobile devices. And they are enhancing their tablet experience with a range of accessories and peripherals that enable them to create, consume and share digital content more conveniently and comfortably.

Digital Music. We believe that digital music, the seamless consumption of audio content on home and mobile devices, presents a significant and natural growth opportunity for Logitech, based on our history of successful earphone, headset and speaker products. Many consumers listen to music as a pervasive entertainment activity, fueled by the growth in smartphones, tablets, music services and Internet radio. Logitech has a solid foundation of audio solutions to satisfy consumers’ needs for music consumption, including Logitech UE earphones and speakers, and Squeezebox Wi-Fi music players.

Enterprise Market. We are also increasing our efforts on creating and selling products and services to enterprises. We believe the preferences of employees increasingly drive companies’ choices in the information technologies they deploy to their employee base, and this consumerization of information technology has made the enterprise market open to embracing consumer technology and design. We are still in the early stages of our enterprise market team’s efforts for our productivity peripherals. Growing our enterprise peripherals business will continue to require investment in creation of business-specific products, targeted product marketing, and sales channel development.

Video Conferencing. The trend among businesses and institutions to use video conferencing offers a key growth opportunity for Logitech. However, the growth of our video conferencing segment depends in part on our ability to increase sales to enterprises with installed bases of competitor equipment, and to enterprises that may purchase competitor equipment in the future.

We believe the ability of our LifeSize products to interoperate with the equipment of other telecommunications, video conferencing or telepresence equipment suppliers to be a key factor in purchasing decisions by current or prospective LifeSize customers. In addition, LifeSize has broadened its product portfolio to include infrastructure, cloud services and other offerings which require different approaches to developing customer solutions.

Some of our product categories are experiencing significant market challenges. As the quality of embedded webcams improves, we expect future sales of tethered consumer webcams in the consumer market to continue declining, as the embedded webcam experience appears to be sufficient to meet the needs of many retail consumers. We intend to address the market decline by enhancing our webcam product line-up to enable experiences that cannot be easily achieved with an embedded webcam. Sales in our digital home category have declined significantly. We believe the recent disappointing sales results for Harmony reflect the aging of our Harmony products at the mid- and high-level price points as we previously directed significant digital home engineering and marketing resources towards our Logitech Revue and related peripherals for Google TV. We have exited the Google TV product category, and we plan to strengthen our Harmony line in fiscal year 2013.

Sales of our OEM mice and keyboards have historically made up the bulk of our OEM sales. In recent years, the shift away from desktop PCs adversely affected our sales of OEM mice and keyboards, which are sold with name-brand desktop PCs. We expect this trend to continue and for OEM sales to comprise a smaller percentage of our total revenues in the future.

Our balance sheet includes goodwill of $219.3 million related to various past acquisitions which are part of our peripherals reporting unit, and $338.9 million related to our video conferencing reporting unit. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test annually as of December 31, or more frequently, if certain events or circumstances warrant. Events or changes in circumstances which might indicate potential impairment in goodwill include the company specific factors described in our Form 10-K, volatility in stock price, a sustained decline in market capitalization relative to net book value, and lower than projected revenue, market growth, or operating results. On April 25, 2012, the Company announced a restructuring plan as described in Note 13, and as a result, we performed a test as of June 30, 2012 to evaluate the recoverability of goodwill after implementation of the restructuring. The goodwill impairment evaluation we performed indicated that the fair value of our peripherals reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit by more than 70% of the carrying value, and the fair value of our video conferencing reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit by more than 100% of the carrying value. Also in connection with the restructuring, we reviewed long-lived assets, such as property, equipment, and intangible assets, for recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with those assets to their carrying values. No impairment of long-lived assets was required as a result of the review. We continue to evaluate and monitor all key factors impacting the carrying value of our recorded goodwill and long-lived assets. Further adverse changes in our expected operating results, market capitalization, business climate, or other negative events could result in a material non-cash impairment charge in the future.

Most of our revenue comes from sales to our retail channels, which resell to consumers, retailers and distributors. As a result, our customers’ demand for our products depends in substantial part on trends in consumer confidence and consumer spending, as well as the levels of inventory which our customers, and their customers, choose to maintain. We use sell-through data, which represents sales of our products by our retailer customers to consumers, and by our distributor customers to their customers, along with other metrics to assess consumer demand for our products. Sell-through data is subject to limitations due to collection methods and the third

party nature of the data. Although the sell-through data we obtain typically represents a majority of our retail sales, the customers supplying the data vary by geographic region and from period to period. As a result of these limitations, sell-through data may not be an accurate indicator of actual consumer demand for our products.

Although our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, approximately 44% of our sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were made in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, such as the euro, Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. Our product costs are primarily in U.S. dollars and Chinese renminbi. Our operating expenses are incurred in U.S. dollars, Chinese renminbi, Swiss francs, euros, and, to a lesser extent, 27 other currencies. To the extent that the U.S. dollar significantly increases or decreases in value relative to the currencies in which our sales and operating expenses are denominated, the reported dollar amounts of our sales and expenses may decrease or increase

Our gross margins vary with the mix of products sold, competitive activity, product life cycle, new product introductions, unit volumes, commodity and supply chain costs, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, geographic sales mix, and the complexity and functionality of new product introductions. Changes in consumer demand affect the need for us to undertake promotional efforts, such as cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs or other pricing programs, which alter our product gross margins. Our gross margins may also be impacted by the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our revenue, and by macroeconomic conditions in the various global regions in which we operate.

Logitech is incorporated in Switzerland but operates in various countries with differing tax laws and rates. A portion of our income before taxes and the provision for income taxes are generated outside of Switzerland. Therefore, our effective income tax rate depends on the amount of profits generated in each of the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the income tax benefits were $6.9 million and $9.5 million based on effective income tax rates of 11.7% and 24.4% of pre-tax loss. The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011 was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the treatment of restructuring expenses as a discrete event in determining the annual effective tax rate. The Company is under examination and has received assessment notices in various tax jurisdictions. We are not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on our consolidated operating results.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America) requires the Company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net 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 Logitech’s financial condition and operating results.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. 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 from

Table of Contents

those estimates. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

There have been no significant changes during the three months ended June 30, 2012 to the nature of the critical accounting estimates disclosed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales by channel for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		Change %

Retail	$	395,101	$	394,776	0	%
OEM	36,675		49,178		(25	)%
Video Conferencing	36,828		36,487		1	%
Total net sales	$	468,604	$	480,441	(2	)%

The following table presents the approximate percentage of the Company’s total net sales that were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011

Currencies other than USD	44	%	34	%

If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the percentage change in our constant dollar net sales would have been:

	Three Months Ended

Retail	3	%
OEM	(26	)%
LifeSize	1	%
Total net sales	0	%

Our retail sales in the three months ended June 30, 2012 were flat compared with the prior fiscal year, as the retail sales increase in the EMEA region was offset by a decline in the Americas region. Retail units sold increased 4% during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the preceding fiscal year. Our overall retail average selling price declined 4% in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the preceding fiscal year. Products priced below $40 represented approximately 53% and 61% of retail sales in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, while products priced above $100 represented 13% and 14% of retail sales in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our constant dollar retail sales increase would have been 3%.

Table of Contents

OEM net sales decreased 25% and units sold decreased 7% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the preceding fiscal year. The decline was primarily due to lower sales in the keyboard/desktop category due to product mix changes with a large customer, and lower sales of OEM mice.

LifeSize net sales increased 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 over 2011, primarily driven by growth in the Asia Pacific region, offset by weak sales in the Americas and EMEA regions. Foreign currency exchange rates did not affect LifeSize sales.

We refer to our net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates as constant dollar sales. Constant dollar sales are a non-GAAP financial measure, which is information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its financial and operational decision-making, and believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, facilitate a better understanding of changes in net sales. Constant dollar sales are calculated by translating prior period sales in each local currency at the current period’s average exchange rate for that currency.

Retail Sales by Region

The following table presents the changes in retail units sold, retail sales and constant dollar retail sales by region for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2011.

	Three months ended June 30, 2012
	Change in				Change in
	Retail Units		Change in		Constant Dollar
	Sold		Retail Sales		Retail Sales

EMEA	10	%	17	%	28	%
Asia Pacific	7	%	0	%	(1	)%
Americas	(5	)%	(11	)%	(11	)%
Total retail sales	4	%	0	%	3	%

Our EMEA region was our strongest growing region in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to improved execution and management of programs with our channel partners. Sales increased significantly in the keyboards/desktops and audio product categories, and increased modestly for pointing devices. These increases were offset in part by decreases in gaming, video and digital home. Sales results varied by country, with declining sales in France and Spain, and strong year-over-year growth in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Retail sell-through in the EMEA region decreased 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the prior fiscal year.

Asia Pacific region retail sales were relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011, primarily due to weakness in Australia and India. Retail sales increased in pointing devices, keyboards/desktops and audio, but were offset by declines in gaming, video and digital home. Retail sales in China increased 9% during this period, with strong performance in keyboard/desktop and audio categories. China was our second-largest country in terms of net revenue. Retail sell-through in China increased 14% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 over 2011, while retail sell-through in the rest of the Asia Pacific region grew modestly.

The decline in retail sales in the Americas region for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011 was driven by double-digit percentage sales declines in pointing devices, video and gaming, offset in part by a double-digit percentage sales increase in digital home, and single-digit sales growth in

desktop/keyboards and audio. Retail sell-through in the Americas region decreased 5% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011.

We use retail sell-through data, which represents sales of our products by our retailer customers to consumers, and by our distributor customers to their customers, along with other metrics, to assess consumer demand for our products. Sell-through data is subject to limitations due to collection methods and the third party nature of the data. Although the sell-through data we obtain typically represents a majority of our retail sales, the customers supplying the data vary by geographic region and from period to period. As a result of these limitations, sell-through data may not be an accurate indicator of actual consumer demand for our products.

Net Retail Sales by Product Category

Net retail sales by product category during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		Change %

Retail - Pointing Devices	$	115,727	$	121,750	(5	)%

Total net retail sales	$	395,101	$	394,776	0	%

Logitech’s Pointing Devices product category includes our mice, trackballs and other pointing devices. Keyboards and desktops (mouse and keyboard combined) include cordless and corded keyboards and desktops, and tablet keyboards. Audio includes headsets, unified communications products, and digital music products including docks, speakers, earphones, headphones, and Squeezebox wireless music systems. Our video product category is comprised of PC webcams and Alert video security systems. Gaming includes console, tablet, and PC gaming peripherals, including gaming mice and keyboards. The Digital Home product category combines our Harmony Remote controls and Logitech Revue with related peripherals. Net sales reflect accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs.

In the three months ended June 30, 2012, we changed the product category classification for a number of our retail products, in order to include all of our gaming-related retail sales in the gaming product category. The product categories impacted by this change include pointing devices, audio and gaming. Products within the retail product categories as presented in the three months ended June 30, 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation, with no impact on previously reported total net retail sales.

Retail Pointing Devices

Retail sales of our pointing devices decreased 5% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011, while retail units sold decreased 1% during this period. The sales decline was concentrated in our Americas region, and was only partly offset by increases in our Asia Pacific and EMEA regions. The primary weakness was in our mid-priced cordless mice. Sales of all cordless mice decreased 8% in the three months ended June 30, 2012, while units sold increased 1%. Corded mice sales decreased 5% and units sold decreased 7% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011.

Retail Keyboards and Desktops

Retail sales of keyboards and desktops increased 17% during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the preceding fiscal year, while units sold increased 15% during this period. Sales growth was experienced in all regions, led by a 47% increase in EMEA. Sales of cordless keyboards and desktops increased 24% and units increased 42% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011. Sales of corded keyboards and desktops decreased 12% in dollars and 4% in units in the three months ended June 30, 2012. Our tablet keyboards made a significant contribution, as sales nearly doubled, led by very strong initial demand for the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover.

Retail Audio

Retail audio sales increased 16% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011, while retail units sold increased 10% during this period. The sales increase was led by strong growth of our digital music products, led by our Squeezebox WiFi music systems, which nearly doubled in sales. Our Ultimate Ears line of earphones also contributed to the growth in audio, with sales increasing 43% over the prior year. The Logitech Mini Boombox, a compact Bluetooth sound system that we began shipping in the latter part of fiscal year 2012, was another strong contributor to the growth. In addition, headset sales increased 20% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011, while retail PC speaker dollar and unit sales remained relatively flat. Unified communication products sales experienced strong growth, increasing 143% in sales in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011.

Retail Video

Retail sales of our video products declined 26% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011, while retail units sold decreased 18% during this period. The sales decrease was mainly due to weakness in our webcam product line, which continued to be negatively impacted by the combination of market trends and gaps in our product portfolio. The decline was most pronounced in the Americas region. We expect future sales of tethered consumer webcams in the consumer market to continue declining, as the embedded webcam experience appears to be sufficient to meet the needs of many retail consumers. We intend to address the market decline by enhancing our webcam product line-up to enable experiences that cannot be easily achieved with an embedded webcam. For example, we experienced strong growth from our recently launched Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, which offers full HD 1080p video calls on Skype.

Retail Gaming

Retail sales of our gaming peripherals declined 27% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with 2011, while retail units sold increased 10% during this period. The decrease was primarily from PC gaming, due to sales declines in steering wheels, and from continued sales declines in console gaming. PC gaming sales decreased by 16% in dollars and increased by 16% in units in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the prior fiscal year. The difference between the decline in PC gaming sales and the increase in units reflects a mix shift away from steering wheels to lower-priced mice, keyboards and gamepads. Console gaming sales decreased by 93% in dollars and 81% in units in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with 2011.

Retail Digital Home

Retail sales of our digital home category, which includes Harmony remotes and our discontinued Google TV peripherals, increased 5% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the prior fiscal year, while retail units sold increased 26% during this period. The significant difference between the sales increase and growth in units reflects stronger unit growth in the low end of this category. Sales of Harmony remotes declined 10% in dollars and increased 16% in units in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the prior fiscal year. We plan to strengthen our Harmony line-up in the coming months. Sales of refurbished Logitech Revue and related peripherals were $1.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2012. In the quarter ended June 30, 2012, sales of Logitech Revue were negative $1.3 million due to product returns.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			Change

Net sales	$	468,604		$	480,441		(2	)%
Cost of goods sold	324,352			354,834			(9	)%
Gross profit	$	144,252		$	125,607		15	%
Gross margin	30.8		%	26.1		%

Gross profit consists of net sales, less cost of goods sold which includes materials, direct labor and related overhead costs, costs of manufacturing facilities, costs of purchasing components from outside suppliers, distribution costs, write-down of inventories and amortization of intangible assets.

The improvement in gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year primarily resulted from a $34.1 million valuation adjustment to cost of goods sold which occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011. This valuation adjustment reflected the lower of cost or market on our inventory of Logitech Revue and related peripherals on hand and at our suppliers. The gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was negatively impacted by $4.5 million in pricing actions related to the simplification of our product portfolio in the Americas and EMEA regions, $3.0 million in costs related to product development efforts that were discontinued as a result of the restructuring, a provision for a likely settlement of a patent dispute, typical sales seasonality, and changes in product mix.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			Change

Marketing and selling	$	100,897		$	99,793		1	%

% of net sales	7		%	0		%
Total operating expenses	$	203,532		$	170,639		19	%

The increase in total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the restructuring plan initiated in April 2012, which resulted in $31.2 million in expenses incurred during the current quarter.

We refer to our operating expenses excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates as constant dollar operating expenses. Constant dollar operating expenses are a non-GAAP financial measure, which is information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial

Table of Contents

statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its financial and operational decision-making, and believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, facilitate a better understanding of changes in operating expenses. Constant dollar operating expenses are calculated by translating prior period operating expenses in each local currency at the current period’s average exchange rate for that currency.

Marketing and Selling

Marketing and selling expense consists of personnel and related overhead costs, corporate and product marketing, promotions, advertising, trade shows, customer and technical support and facilities costs.

Marketing and selling expense increased 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily from increased investments in product design, advertising, consulting and marketing expenses. These increases were substantially offset by decreases in personnel-related expenses and share-based compensation expense due to the reduction in worldwide workforce resulting from our recent restructuring plan.

If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the percentage change in constant dollar marketing and sales expense would have been an increase of 4% instead of 1%.

Research and Development

Research and development expense consists of personnel and related overhead costs, 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.

Although we continued to make investments in product development, we experienced a 3% decrease in research and development expense during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily from a decline in personnel-related expenses due to the reduction in worldwide workforce resulting from our recent restructuring plan.

If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the change in constant dollar research and development expense would have been a decrease of 1% instead of 3%.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel and related overhead and facilities costs for the finance, information systems, executive, human resources and legal functions.

General and administrative expense increased by 5% from the three months ended June 30, 2011 to 2012, primarily from the write-off of the remaining lease obligations resulting from us exiting our former corporate headquarters. This increase was offset in part by decreases in personnel-related expenses and share-based compensation expense due to the reduction in worldwide workforce from our recent restructuring plan.

If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the percentage change in constant dollar general and administrative expense would have been an increase of 8% instead of 5%.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges consist of termination benefits, lease exit costs and other charges associated with the restructuring plan initiated in April 2012.

Table of Contents

The restructuring plan reduced our worldwide non-direct-labor workforce by approximately 340 employees, resulting in $28.7 million in termination benefits to those employees. Termination benefits are calculated based on regional benefit practices and local statutory requirements. Additional legal, consulting, and other costs of $1.1 million were incurred as a result of the terminations. We also incurred $1.5 million primarily related to costs associated with the closure of existing facilities. A majority of the restructuring activity was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2012. We estimate completing the restructuring plan during fiscal year 2013, and incurring additional pre-tax restructuring charges related to employee termination costs, lease exit costs, and other associated costs of less than $5 million during the remaining nine months of fiscal year 2013.

The following table summarizes restructuring-related activities during the three months ended June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

	Total			Termination Benefits			Lease Exit Costs		Other

Interest expense	(348		)	—		100	%
Interest income, net	$	384		$	690	(44	)%

The changes in interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year resulted from higher invested balances, partially offset by slightly lower interest rates.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 represents commitment fees and non-recurring fees related to the revolving credit facility entered into in December 2011.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income and expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

Gain on sale of investments	831			—
Other, net	92			(241		)
Other income (expense), net	$	(159	)	$	5,191

Foreign currency exchange gains or losses relate to balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of a particular subsidiary, to the sale of currencies, and to gains or losses recognized on foreign exchange forward contracts. We do not speculate in currency positions, but we are alert to opportunities to maximize foreign exchange gains.

The $4.9 million gain on sale of property and plant for the three months ended June 30, 2011 relates to the sale of an unused manufacturing facility in China.

Investment income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 represents earnings, gains, and losses on trading investments related to a deferred compensation plan offered by one of our subsidiaries.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we sold the remaining two of our available-for-sale securities with a total carrying value of $0.4 million and a total par value of $15.2 million for $0.9 million. This sale resulted in $0.8 million of gain recognized in other income (expense), net, $0.3 million of which resulted from the recognition of a temporary increase in fair value previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011

Benefit from income taxes	$	(6,910	)	$	(9,545	)
Effective income tax rate	11.7		%	24.4		%

The provision for income taxes consists of income and withholding taxes. Logitech operates in multiple jurisdictions and its profits are taxed pursuant to the tax laws of these jurisdictions. The Company’s effective income tax rate may be affected by changes in or interpretations of tax laws in any given jurisdiction, utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, changes in geographical mix of income and expense, and changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets.

Table of Contents

excluded from ordinary income in determining the annual effective tax rate. The tax benefit associated with the restructuring is approximately $0.2 million.

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2011 is primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and the treatment of restructuring expenses as a discrete event in determining the annual effective tax rate.

The Company files Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to 1999. During fiscal year 2012, the IRS (U.S. Internal Revenue Service) completed its field examinations of tax returns for the Company’s U.S. subsidiary for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, and issued NOPAs (notices of proposed adjustment) related to international tax issues for those years. The Company disagreed with the NOPAs and contested through the administrative process for the IRS claims regarding 2006 and 2007. On July 2, 2012, the IRS issued an RAR (Revenue Agent’s Report) for fiscal years 2006 and 2007 proposing revised assessments resulted from the administrative process. On July 12, 2012, the Company accepted the proposed revised assessments. The IRS is completing their RAR review process which generally takes sixty days from the time of acceptance. The proposed revised assessments will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Balances, Available Borrowings, and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2012, our working capital was $448.1 million, compared with $576.7 million at March 31, 2012. The decrease in working capital over the prior year was primarily due to lower cash balances.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we used $7.1 million for operating activities. Our largest uses of operating cash flows were net loss after adding non-cash expenses of depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation expense, and from a decrease in accounts payable. These uses of operating cash flows were offset by an increase in accrued liabilities, a decrease in inventories and a decrease in accounts receivables during this period. Net cash used in investing activities was $18.7 million, including $19.6 million for investments in leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, tooling and equipment. Net cash used by financing activities was $89.7 million, primarily from using $90.0 million to repurchase 8.6 million shares under our share buyback program.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $360.7 million. Our cash and cash equivalents are comprised of bank demand deposits and short-term time deposits carried at cost, which is equivalent to fair value. Approximately 54% of our cash and cash equivalents are held by our Swiss-based entities, and approximately 36% is held by our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China. We do not believe we would be subject to any material adverse tax impact or significantly inhibited by any country in which we do business from the repatriation of funds to Switzerland, our home domicile.

The credit facility matures on October 31, 2016. The Company may prepay the loans under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the credit facility will accrue interest at a per annum rate based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), or EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) in the case of loans denominated in euros, plus a variable margin determined quarterly based on the ratio of senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the preceding four-quarter period, plus, if applicable, an additional rate per annum intended to compensate the lenders for the cost of compliance with regulatory reserve requirements and other banking regulations. The Company also pays a quarterly commitment fee of 40% of the applicable margin on the available commitment. In connection with entering into the credit facility, the Company incurred non-recurring fees totaling $1.5 million, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the credit facility.

The Company has credit lines with several European and Asian banks totaling $43.9 million as of June 30, 2012. As is common for businesses in European and Asian countries, these credit lines are uncommitted and unsecured. Despite the lack of formal commitments from the banks, we believe that these lines of credit will continue to be made available because of our long-standing relationships with these banks and our current financial condition. At June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit. There are no financial covenants under these facilities. The Company also has credit lines related to corporate credit cards totaling $29.9 million as of June 30, 2012. The outstanding

borrowings under these credit lines are recorded in other current liabilities. There are no financial covenants under these credit lines.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

The following table presents selected financial information and statistics as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands):

	June 30,
	2012			2011

Accounts receivable, net	$	213,973		$	241,456
Inventories	280,533			317,548
Working capital	448,129			607,809
Days sales in accounts receivable (DSO) (1)	41 days			45 days
Inventory turnover (ITO) (2)	4.6x			4.5x
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(7,056	)	$	3,744

(1) DSO is determined using ending accounts receivable as of the most recent quarter-end and net sales for the most recent quarter.

(2) ITO is determined using ending inventories and annualized cost of goods sold (based on the most recent quarterly cost of goods sold).

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we used net cash of $7.1 million for operating activities, compared with net cash generated of $3.7 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The primary drivers of the decline in operating cash flows include the increase in net loss, from $29.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $52.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, and from the $37.4 million decrease in accounts payables. These uses of operating cash flows were offset in part by a $42.8 million increase in accrued liabilities, a $11.4 million decrease in inventories and a $6.6 million decrease in accounts receivables during this period.

DSO for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by 4 days compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2012 over 2011 was primarily from lower accounts receivable balances due to increased cash collections. Typical payment terms require customers to pay for product sales generally within 30 to 60 days. However, terms may vary by customer type, by country and by selling season. Extended payment terms are sometimes offered to a limited number of customers during the second and third fiscal quarters. The Company does not modify payment terms on existing receivables, but may offer discounts for early payment.

Inventory turnover between the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 remained relatively consistent between the two periods.

Our expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were principally normal expenditures for leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, tooling and equipment.

Proceeds from the sale of property and plant were related to the sale of an unused manufacturing facility in China in the three months ended June 30, 2011.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we sold our two remaining available-for-sale securities with a total carrying value of $0.4 million and a total par value of $15.2 million for $0.9 million. This sale resulted in $0.8 million of gain recognized in other income (expense), net, $0.3 million of which resulted from the recognition of a temporary increase in fair value previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The purchases and sales of trading investments in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 represent mutual fund activity directed by participants in a deferred compensation plan offered by one of the Company’s subsidiaries. The mutual funds are held by a Rabbi Trust.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we repurchased 8.6 million shares for $90.0 million under the Company’s amended September 2008 buyback program, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2011, during which no share repurchases were made. The amounts of the repurchases include transaction costs incurred as part of the repurchase.

Table of Contents

Cash of $0.4 million and $0.6 million was provided during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 from the sale of shares upon exercise of options and purchase rights pursuant to the Company’s stock plans. The payment of tax withholdings related to net share settlements of RSUs (restricted stock units) required the use of $0.2 million in cash in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Cash Outlook

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow generated from operations and, to a lesser extent, capital markets and borrowings. Our future working capital requirements and capital expenditures may increase to support investment in product innovations and growth opportunities, to repurchase our stock, to distribute cash dividends, or to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, services, and technologies.

In December 2011, the Company entered into a Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with a group of primarily Swiss banks that provides for a revolving multicurrency unsecured credit facility in an amount of up to $250.0 million. The Company may, upon notice to the lenders and subject to certain requirements, arrange with existing or new lenders to provide up to an aggregate of $150.0 million in additional commitments, for a total of $400.0 million of unsecured revolving credit. The credit facility may be used for working capital, general corporate purposes, and acquisitions. The credit facility matures on October 31, 2016. The Company may prepay the loans under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The facility agreement contains representations, covenants, including threshold financial covenants, and events of default customary in Swiss credit markets. There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility at June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions.

In September 2008, our Board of Directors approved a share buyback program, which authorizes the Company to invest up to $250 million to purchase its own shares. In November 2011, the Company received approval from the Swiss regulatory authorities for an amendment to the September 2008 share buyback program to enable future repurchases of shares for cancellation. In fiscal year 2012, the Company repurchased 7.6 million shares for $73.1 million under the September 2008 program. Under the amended September 2008 program, the Company repurchased 9.9 million shares for $82.9 million in fiscal year 2012, and 8.6 million shares for $90.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the approved amount remaining under the amended September 2008 program was $4.4 million. Our Board of Directors has proposed that shareholders approve the cancellation of 18.5 million shares at the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in September 2012.

The Board of Directors has also proposed that the Company distribute CHF 125.7 million of qualifying additional paid-in capital to shareholders out of its capital contribution reserves. If approved by shareholders, the cash is expected to be distributed in September 2012.

may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on the Company’s consolidated operating results.

Although the Company has adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions on these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. It is reasonably possible that resolution of fiscal years 2006 and 2007 with the IRS will lead to a decrease of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months, which may have a material positive effect on the Company’s operating results. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the change as of June 30, 2012.

On April 25, 2012, we announced a restructuring plan to reduce operating costs and improve financial results. We estimate completing the restructuring plan during fiscal year 2013 and incurring additional pre-tax restructuring charges related to employee termination costs and other associated costs of less than $5 million during the remaining nine months of fiscal year 2013.

Other contractual obligations and commitments of the Company which require cash are described in the following sections.

For over ten years, we have generated positive cash flows from our operating activities, including cash from operations of $196.1 million in fiscal year 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our normal level of cash and cash equivalents was reduced by share repurchases and the net loss for the quarter. In addition, our restructuring plan will result in cash outlays in the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2013, and we intend to distribute cash of approximately CHF 125.7 million as a one-time distribution out of capital contribution reserves. 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 reduced expenses, our available cash balances, credit lines and credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

Although we believe that we can meet our liquidity needs, if we fail to meet our operating forecast or market conditions negatively affect our cash flows or ability to fund growth opportunities, we may be required to seek additional funding. If we seek additional funding, adequate funds may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to adequately fund our business plans and it could have a negative effect on our business, operating cash flows and financial condition.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s outstanding contractual obligations and commitments included: (i) facilities leased under operating lease commitments, (ii) purchase commitments and obligations, (iii) long-term liabilities for income taxes payable, and (iv) defined benefit pension plan and non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations. The following summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments at June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2012

Operating leases	$	106,035
Purchase commitments - inventory	152,617
Purchase obligations - capital expenditures	21,896

Other long-term liabilities	12,343
Total contractual obligations and commitments	$	537,499

Operating Leases

The Company leases facilities under operating leases, certain of which require it to pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Operating leases for facilities are generally renewable at the Company’s option and usually include escalation clauses linked to inflation. The remaining terms on our non-cancelable operating leases expire in various years through 2028. Our asset retirement obligations on these leases as of June 30, 2012 were $2.0 million.

Purchase Commitments

At June 30, 2012, we have fixed purchase commitments of $152.6 million for inventory purchases made in the normal course of business to original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers and other suppliers, which are expected to be fulfilled by December 2012. We also had commitments of $57.7 million for consulting services, marketing arrangements, advertising, outsourced customer services, information technology maintenance and support services, and other services. Fixed purchase commitments for capital expenditures amounted to $21.9 million at June 30, 2012, and primarily relate to commitments for computer hardware and leasehold improvements. 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 the option to reschedule and adjust our requirements based on business needs prior to delivery of goods or performance of services.

Income Taxes Payable

At June 30, 2012, we had $135.0 million in non-current income taxes payable, including interest and penalties, related to our income tax liability for recognized uncertain tax positions, compared with $137.3 million in non-current taxes payable as of March 31, 2012.

Legal Proceedings

In addition, from time to time we become involved in claims and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently subject to several such claims and a small number of legal proceedings.

We believe these lawsuits and claims lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against them. However, there can be no assurances that our defenses will be successful, or that any judgment or settlement in any of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We are presently unable to estimate the effects of these claims and legal proceedings on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

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 global concern, the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as it transacts business in multiple foreign currencies, including exposure related to anticipated sales, anticipated purchases and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Logitech transacts business in over 30 currencies worldwide, of which the most significant to operations are the CNY (Chinese renminbi), Taiwanese dollar, euro, British pound, Russian ruble and Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s operations is primarily the U.S. dollar. To a lesser extent, certain operations use the euro, CNY, Swiss franc or the local currency of the country as their functional currencies. Accordingly, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of net assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar are accumulated in the cumulative translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

The table below provides information about the Company’s underlying transactions that are sensitive to foreign exchange rate changes, primarily assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, where the net exposure is greater than $0.5 million at June 30, 2012. The table also presents the U.S. dollar impact on earnings of a 10% appreciation and a 10% depreciation of the functional currency as compared with the transaction currency (in thousands):

Functional Currency	Transaction Currency	Net Exposed Long (Short) Currency Position			FX Gain (Loss) From 10% Appreciation of Functional Currency			FX Gain (Loss) From 10% Depreciation of Functional Currency

U.S. dollar	Chinese renminbi	$	100,464		$	(9,133	)	$	11,163
Taiwanese dollar	U.S. dollar	13,264			(1,206		)	1,474
Euro	British pound	6,557			(596		)	729
U.S. dollar	Australian dollar	5,677			(516		)	631

Long currency positions represent net assets being held in the transaction currency while short currency positions represent net liabilities being held in the transaction currency.

Table of Contents

The Company’s principal manufacturing operations are located in China, with much of its component and raw material costs transacted in CNY. However, the functional currency of its Chinese operating subsidiary is the U.S. dollar as its sales and trade receivables are transacted in U.S. dollars. To hedge against any potential significant appreciation of the CNY, the Company maintains a portion of its cash investments in CNY-denominated accounts. At June 30, 2012, net assets held in CNY totaled $100.5 million. The Company continues to evaluate the level of net assets held in CNY relative to component and raw material purchases and interest rates on cash equivalents.

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to its subsidiaries’ forecasted inventory purchases. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is the foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company has designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges. Logitech does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. These hedging contracts generally mature within four months, and are denominated in the same currency as the underlying transactions. 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. The Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedges by comparing changes in the spot rate of the currency underlying the forward contract with changes in the spot rate of the currency in which the forecasted transaction will be consummated. If the underlying transaction being hedged fails to occur or if a portion of the hedge does not generate offsetting changes in the foreign currency exposure of forecasted inventory purchases, the Company immediately recognizes the gain or loss on the associated financial instrument in other income (expense). As of June 30, 2012, the notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $98.2 million (€78.0 million). Deferred realized gains of $1.6 million are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2012, and are expected to be reclassified to cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Deferred unrealized losses of $0.5 million related to open cash flow hedges are also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2012 and these forward contracts will be revalued in future periods until the related inventory is sold, at which time the resulting gains or losses will be reclassified to cost of goods sold.

The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 relating to foreign currency receivables or payables were $6.4 million. Open forward contracts as of June 30, 2012 consisted of contracts in euros to sell British pounds and contracts in Australian dollars to purchase U.S. dollars at future dates at a predetermined exchange rate. The notional amounts of foreign exchange swap contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 were $24.7 million. Swap contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 consisted of contracts in Taiwanese dollars, Mexican pesos and Japanese Yen. Unrealized net losses on the contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 were $0.4 million.

If the U.S. dollar had appreciated by 10% at June 30, 2012 compared with the foreign currencies in which we have forward or swap contracts, an unrealized gain of $9.1 million in our forward foreign exchange contract portfolio would have occurred. If the U.S. dollar had depreciated by 10% compared with the foreign currencies in which we have forward or swap contracts, a $10.9 million unrealized loss in our forward foreign exchange contract portfolio would have occurred.

Interest Rates

Changes in interest rates could impact the Company’s anticipated interest income on its cash equivalents and investment securities. The Company prepared sensitivity analyses of its interest rate exposures to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates. Based on the results of these analyses, a 100 basis point decrease or increase in interest rates from the June 30, 2012 period end rates would not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our operating results are difficult to predict and fluctuations in results may cause volatility in the price of our shares.

Our revenues and profitability are difficult to predict due to the nature of the markets in which we compete, fluctuating end-user demand, the uncertainty of current and future global economic conditions, and for many other reasons, including the following:

· Our operating results are highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Customers generally order on an as-needed basis and we typically do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. As a result, our revenues in any quarter depend primarily on orders booked and shipped in that quarter.

· A significant portion of our quarterly retail sales typically occurs in the last weeks of each quarter, further increasing the difficulty in predicting quarterly revenues and profitability.

· Our sales are impacted by end-user consumer demand and current and future global economic conditions, and can therefore fluctuate abruptly and significantly during periods of uncertain economic conditions or geographic distress, as well as from shifts in consumer buying patterns.

Table of Contents

· We must incur a large portion of our costs in advance of sales orders, because we must plan research and production, order components, buy tooling equipment, and enter into development, sales and marketing, and other operating commitments prior to obtaining firm commitments from our customers. This makes it difficult for us to rapidly adjust our costs during the quarter in response to a revenue shortfall, which could adversely affect our operating results.

· We may not fully or timely realize the anticipated benefits from the restructuring plan we announced in April 2012. The restructuring plan is intended to simplify the organization, to reduce operating costs through a global workforce reduction and a reduction in the complexity of our product portfolio, and to better align costs with our current business.

· Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can impact our revenues, expenses and profitability because we report our financial statements in U.S. dollars, whereas a significant portion of our revenues and expenses are in other currencies. We attempt to adjust product prices over time to offset the impact of currency movements. However, over short periods of time and during periods of weakness in consumer spending, our ability to increase local currency selling prices to offset the impact of currency fluctuations is limited.

Because our operating results are difficult to predict, our results may be below the expectations of financial analysts and investors, which could cause the price of our shares to decline.

If we fail to innovate and develop new products in a timely and cost-effective manner for our new and existing product categories, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

The personal peripherals industry is characterized by short product life cycles, frequent new product introductions, rapidly changing technology, dynamic consumer demand and evolving industry standards. As a result, we must continually innovate in our new and existing product categories, introduce new products and technologies, and enhance existing products in order to remain competitive.

The success of our product portfolio depends on several factors, including our ability to:

· identify new features, functionality and opportunities;

· anticipate technology, market trends and consumer preferences;

· develop innovative, high-quality, and reliable new products and enhancements in a cost-effective and timely manner;

· distinguish our products from those of our competitors; and

· offer our products at prices and on terms that are attractive to our customers and consumers.

If we do not execute on these factors successfully, products that we introduce or technologies or standards that we adopt may not gain widespread commercial acceptance, and our business and operating results could suffer. In addition, if we do not continue to differentiate our products through distinctive, technologically advanced features, designs, and services that are appealing to our customers and consumers, as well as continue to build and strengthen our brand recognition and our access to distribution channels, our business could be adversely affected.

The development of new products and services is very difficult and requires high levels of innovation. The development process is also lengthy and costly. There are significant initial expenditures for research and development, tooling, manufacturing processes, inventory and marketing, and we may not be able to recover those investments. If we fail to accurately anticipate technological trends or our end-users’ needs or preferences, are unable to complete the development of products and services in a cost-

Table of Contents

effective and timely fashion or are unable to appropriately increase production to fulfill customer demand, we will be unable to successfully introduce new products and services into the market or compete with other providers. Even if we complete the development of our new products and services in a cost-effective and timely manner, they may be not competitive with products developed by others, they may not achieve acceptance in the market at anticipated levels or at all, they may not be profitable or, even if they are profitable, they may not achieve margins as high as our expectations or as high as the margins we have achieved historically.

As we introduce new or enhanced products, integrate new technology into new or existing products, or reduce the overall number of products offered, we face risks including, among other things, disruption in customers’ ordering patterns, excessive levels of existing product inventories, revenue deterioration in our existing product lines, insufficient supplies of new products to meet customers’ demand, possible product and technology defects, and a potentially different sales and support environment. Premature announcements or leaks of new products, features or technologies may exacerbate some of these risks by reducing the effectiveness of our product launches, reducing sales volumes of current products due to anticipated future products, making it more difficult to compete, shortening the period of differentiation based on our product innovation, straining relationships with our partners or increasing market expectations for the results of our new products before we have had an opportunity to demonstrate the market viability of the products. Our failure to manage the transition to new products or the integration of new technology into new or existing products could adversely affect our business, results of operations, operating cash flows and financial condition.

We believe sales of our PC (personal computer) peripherals in our mature markets may decline, and that our future growth will depend on our new product categories and sales in emerging market geographies, and if we do not successfully execute on our growth opportunities, or if our sales of PC peripherals in mature markets are less than we expect, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We have historically targeted peripherals for the PC platform. Consumer demand for PCs is decelerating in our traditional, mature markets such as North America, Western and Nordic Europe, Japan and Australia, and we believe consumer demand for PCs and peripherals in mature markets is slowing and potentially may decline in future years. In fiscal year 2012, we experienced weak consumer demand for our remotes and PC webcams in our Americas and EMEA regions, which adversely affected our financial performance. In our OEM channel, the decline of desktop PCs has adversely impacted our sales of OEM mice, which have historically made up the bulk of our OEM sales. Our OEM sales accounted for 8% and 9% of total revenues in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and 8% in the three months ended June 30, 2012.

In addition, our sales in our mature markets in North America, Western and Nordic Europe, Japan and Australia might be less than we expect due to a decline in business or economic conditions in one or more of the countries or regions, a greater decline than we expect in demand for our products, our inability to successfully execute our sales and marketing plans, or for other reasons. Global economic concerns, such as the varying pace of global economic recovery and the impact of sovereign debt issues in Europe, create unpredictability and add risk to our future outlook.

As a result, we are focusing more of our personnel, financial resources, and management attention on product innovations and growth opportunities in emerging markets, on products for tablets and mobile devices, on products for the consumption of digital music, on sales to enterprise markets, on our LifeSize division, and other potential growth opportunities. Our investments may not result in the growth we expect, or when we expect it, for a variety of reasons including those described below.

Emerging Markets. We believe that the world’s emerging markets, such as China, India, Russia and Brazil, will, for the next several years, be the high growth markets for PCs and for our peripherals product lines. We have allocated significant resources to our sales, marketing and administrative personnel in China and, to a lesser extent, other emerging markets. We anticipate that emerging markets will include potentially high growth opportunities, offset by potentially entrenched local competition, higher credit risks, and other factors that affect consumer trends in ways which may be substantially different from our

Table of Contents

current major markets. PCs may not continue to be a growth category in emerging markets, and consumers in emerging markets may prefer tablets, smartphones, other mobile devices or other technologies. If we do not develop innovative and reliable peripherals and enhancements in a cost-effective and timely manner which are attractive to consumers in these markets, if consumer demand for PCs and our peripherals in emerging markets does not increase as much as we expect, or if we invest resources in products or geographic areas which do not produce the growth or profitability we expect, or when we expect it, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Tablets, Smartphones and Other Mobile Devices. The increasing popularity of smaller, mobile computing devices such as tablets and smartphones with touch interfaces is rapidly changing the consumer PC market. In our retail channels, tablets and smartphones are sold by retailers without peripherals. We believe this creates opportunities to sell products to consumers to help make their devices more productive and comfortable. However, consumer acceptance and demand for peripherals for use with tablets and other mobile computing devices is still uncertain. The increasing popularity of tablets and smartphones might decrease consumer demand for our PC peripherals, which would adversely affect our sales of these products. If we do not successfully innovate and market products designed for tablets and smartphones, if our distributor or retailer customers do not choose to carry or market such peripherals, or if general consumer demand for peripherals for use with these devices does not increase, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Digital Music. We have recently increased our focus on products for the consumption of digital music as a future sales growth area. We are increasing our product development and marketing investment in digital music. However, historically our audio product development and marketing efforts have focused primarily on products for the PC platform and on sound quality. Our past experience is not necessarily transferable to the consumption of music through mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, where we believe consumers put a greater emphasis on features such as convenience and brand. In addition, competition in the digital music consumption category is intense, and we expect it to increase. If we are not able to identify product development and marketing skill gaps, resolve them, and introduce differentiated product and marketing strategies to separate ourselves from competitors, our digital music efforts will not be successful, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Enterprise Market. Direct sales to the enterprise market is a relatively new sales channel for us. While we have been able to leverage our indirect distribution channels to sell to the enterprise market, we may not be successful in expanding enterprise sales. Some of our competitors have longer and closer relationships with the senior management of enterprise customers who decide which products and technologies will be deployed in their enterprises. Some competitors have larger and more established sales forces calling on enterprise customers, as well as greater marketing resources, and therefore could contact a greater number of potential customers with more frequency and influence their buying decisions. Consequently, these competitors may have a better competitive position than we do, which could adversely affect our ability grow our revenues through the enterprise sales channel.

LifeSize. Competition in the video conferencing industry is intense, with large, well-financed competitors, and we expect the number of competitors and the intensity of competition to increase. Although we have maintained the LifeSize enterprise sales organization, Logitech has little experience with selling to enterprise accounts, or in marketing to large enterprises. Additionally, as customers complete video conferencing installations, they may require greater levels of service and support than we have provided in the past. Demand for these types of services and support may increase in the future. There can be no assurance that we can provide products, services and support to effectively compete for these market opportunities. Further, our providing greater levels of services and support may result in a delay in the timing of revenue recognition. We anticipate that the growth of our LifeSize division will require continuing investments in product development and sales and marketing to stimulate and support future growth. If our future investments do not produce the growth that we anticipate, or when we anticipate it, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

As we expand into new markets and product categories, we must comply with a wide variety of laws, standards and other requirements governing, among other things, health and safety, hazardous

Table of Contents

materials usage, product-related energy consumption, packaging, recycling and environmental matters. Our products may be required to obtain regulatory approvals and satisfy other regulatory concerns in the various jurisdictions where they are manufactured, sold or both. These requirements create procurement and design challenges, which, among other things, require us to incur additional costs identifying suppliers and contract manufacturers who can provide or obtain compliant materials, parts and end products. Failure to comply with such requirements can subject us to liability, additional costs, and reputational harm and, in severe cases, force us to recall products or prevent us from selling our products in certain jurisdictions.

If we do not compete effectively, demand for our products could decline and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

The peripherals and video conferencing industries are intensely competitive.

The peripherals industry is characterized by short product life cycles, continual performance enhancements, and rapid adoption of technological and product advancements by competitors in our retail markets, and price sensitivity in the OEM market. We experience aggressive price competition and other promotional activities from our primary competitors and from less-established brands, including brands owned by retail customers known as house brands, in both the retail and OEM markets. In addition, our competitors may offer customers terms and conditions which may be more favorable than our terms and conditions and may require us to take actions to increase our customer incentive programs, which could impact our revenues and operating margins.

The video conferencing industry is characterized by continual performance enhancements and large, well-financed competitors. There is increased participation in the video conferencing market by companies such as Cisco Systems, Inc. and Polycom, Inc., and as a result, we expect competition in the industry to further intensify. In addition, there are an increasing number of PC-based multi-person video conferencing applications, such as those offered by Skype, which could compete at the lower end of the video conferencing market with our LifeSize products and services.

In recent years, we have expanded the categories of products we sell, and entered new markets. We remain alert to opportunities in new categories and markets. As we do so, we are confronting new competitors, many of which have more experience in the categories or markets and have greater marketing resources and brand name recognition than we have. In addition, because of the continuing convergence of the markets for computing devices and consumer electronics, we expect greater competition in the future from well-established consumer electronics companies in our developing categories as well as in future categories we might enter. Many of these companies, such as Microsoft Corporation, Cisco, Sony Corporation, Polycom and others, have greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we have.

Microsoft is a leading producer of operating systems and applications with which our mice, keyboards and webcams are designed to operate. In addition, Microsoft has significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than Logitech, as well as greater name recognition and a larger customer base. As a result, Microsoft may be able to improve the functionality of its own peripherals to correspond with ongoing enhancements to its operating systems and software applications before we are able to make such improvements. This ability could provide Microsoft with significant lead-time advantages. In addition, Microsoft may be able to offer pricing advantages on bundled hardware and software products that we may not be able to offer, and may be financially positioned to exert significant downward pressure on product prices and upward pressure on promotional incentives in order to gain market share.

Consumer Computing Platforms (Pointing Devices, Keyboards and Desktops). Microsoft is our main competitor in the mice, keyboard and desktop product lines. We also experience competition and pricing pressure for corded and cordless mice and desktops from less-established brands, including house brands, which we believe have impacted our market share in some sales geographies and which could potentially further impact our market share.

Table of Contents

Audio. Competitors in audio devices vary by product line. In the PC, mobile entertainment and communication platform speaker business, competitors include Plantronics, Inc., Altec Lansing LLC., Creative Labs, Inc. and Bose Corporation. In the PC headset and microphone business, our main competitors include Plantronics and Altec Lansing. We have increased our focus, as well as our product development and marketing investment, on products for the consumption of digital music as a future sales growth area. Our competitors for products such as earbuds, earphones and mobile speakers include brands such as Skull Candy, Beats by Dre, and Jawbone, each of which have higher consumer recognition and retailer shelf space in digital music than we do. Our Squeezebox Wi-Fi music players for digital music compete with systems from several small competitors as well as larger established consumer electronics companies, like Sony and Royal Philips Electronics.

Video. Our competitors for PC Web cameras include Microsoft, Creative Labs, Philips, and Hewlett-Packard Company. The market for PC Web cameras has been declining, particularly in our traditional, mature, consumer-developed markets, as the embedded webcam experience appears to be sufficient to meet the needs of many of these customers. As the worldwide market for PC Web cameras has become more competitive, we are encountering increasingly aggressive pricing practices and promotions on a worldwide basis. These factors have adversely affected our revenues and margins in this category.

Gaming. Competitors for our interactive entertainment products include CSG International (formerly Intec), Razer USA Ltd., Performance Designed Products, LLC (Pelican Accessories), Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. and its Saitek brand. Our controllers for PlayStation also compete against controllers offered by Sony.

Digital Home. Our competitors for remotes include, among others, Philips, Universal Remote Control, Inc., Universal Electronics Inc., RCA and Sony. We expect that the growth in consumer demand for peripheral devices for home entertainment systems will likely result in increased competition.

Video Conferencing. We primarily compete in the medium and small business, education, and state and local business sectors of the enterprise video conferencing market. Our primary competitors are Cisco, Polycom and Avaya Inc. There are also a number of smaller competitors that compete with LifeSize. Some of these companies have longer industry experience or substantially greater financial, sales, marketing and engineering resources than we do. Avaya recently acquired Radvision Ltd. and has become a competitor, though it has also been a distributor and OEM partner for LifeSize. In addition, Microsoft’s acquisition of Skype has given Microsoft a large user base for future competitive video chat and video-conferencing products, along with integration potential across Microsoft’s product portfolio. Microsoft is also a partner for LifeSize. In addition, technology changes are affecting the competitive landscape in this market, and may require interoperability or compatibility with unified communication platforms, Microsoft Lync or other technologies. The developers of those technologies may have an advantage in improving the functionality of their own video conferencing equipment to correspond with these technologies before we can make such improvements, or may restrict the interoperability of their products with ours. In the large enterprise sector of the market, which is dominated by Cisco, interoperability with equipment produced by Cisco and other telecommunications, video conferencing or telepresence equipment suppliers is a key factor in purchasing decisions by current or prospective customers. These factors could adversely affect the sales and growth opportunities of our LifeSize division, and the growth of Logitech as a whole. Moreover, if LifeSize sales declined substantially, the goodwill associated with the acquisition of the division might be determined to be impaired, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge, which would reduce operating results.

If we do not compete effectively, demand for our products could decline, our gross margin could decrease, we could lose market share and our revenues could decline.

If we do not accurately forecast market demand for our products, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

We use our forecasts of product demand to make decisions regarding investments of our resources and production levels of our products. Although we receive forecasts from our customers, many are not obligated to purchase the forecasted demand. Also, actual sales volumes for individual products in our

Table of Contents

retail distribution channel can be volatile due to changes in consumer preferences and other reasons. In addition, our retail products have short product life cycles, so a failure to accurately predict high demand for a product can result in lost sales that we may not recover in subsequent periods, or higher product costs if we meet demand by paying higher costs for materials, production and delivery. We could also frustrate our customers and lose shelf space. Our failure to predict low demand for a product can result in excess inventory, lower cash flows and lower margins if we are required to reduce product prices in order to reduce inventories.

Over the past few years, we have expanded the types of products we sell, and the geographic markets in which we sell them. The changes in our product portfolio and the expansion of our sales markets have increased the difficulty of accurately forecasting product demand.

We have experienced large differences between our forecasts and actual demand for our products. We expect other differences between forecasts and actual demand to arise in the future. If we do not accurately predict product demand, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our gross margins can vary significantly depending on multiple factors, which can result in unanticipated fluctuations in our operating results.

Our gross margins can vary due to consumer demand, competition, product life cycle, new product introductions, unit volumes, commodity and supply chain costs, geographic sales mix, foreign currency exchange rates, and the complexity and functionality of new product innovations. In particular, if we are not able to introduce new products in a timely manner at the product cost we expect, or if consumer demand for our products is less than we anticipate, or if there are product pricing, marketing and other initiatives by our competitors to which we need to react that lower our margins, then our overall gross margin will be less than we project.

In addition, our gross margins may vary significantly by product line, sales geography and customer type, as well as within product lines. When the mix of products sold shifts from higher margin product lines to lower margin product lines, to lower margin sales geographies, or to lower margin products within product lines, our overall gross margins and our profitability may be adversely affected.

The impact of these factors on gross margins can create unanticipated fluctuations in our operating results, which may cause volatility in the price of our shares.

We may not fully realize the anticipated benefits from the restructuring plan we announced in April, 2012.

We announced a restructuring plan in April 2012, which is intended to simplify the organization, to reduce operating costs through a global workforce reduction and a reduction in the complexity of our product portfolio, and to better align costs with our current business.

Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from this restructuring within the expected timeframe are subject to many estimates and assumptions, and the actual savings and timing for those savings may vary materially based on factors such as local labor regulations, negotiations with third parties, and operational requirements. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will fully realize the anticipated benefits from this restructuring plan. To the extent that we are unable to improve our financial performance, further restructuring measures may be required in the future.

We have conducted intensive reviews of our product portfolio, and have concluded that our product strategy has resulted in an assortment of similar products at similar price points within each product category, which we believe has generated confusion for the consumer. In order to improve our product portfolio, we have reprioritized our fiscal year 2013 new product portfolio. While we are constantly replacing products and dependent on the success of our new products, the current product line

Table of Contents

simplification effort is substantial, making us even more dependent on the success of the new products that we are introducing.

As we transition to the new product portfolio, we must continue to carefully manage production, monitor channel inventory levels, and judiciously implement incentives for both existing and new products. If we are unable to implement the planned initiatives effectively, if our estimates and assumptions regarding sales of existing and new products are incorrect, if we do not manage the product transitions smoothly and cost-effectively, if we experience delays or if other unforeseen events occur, we may not achieve the sales and cost savings expected in fiscal year 2013 and beyond, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success largely depends on our ability to hire, retain, integrate and motivate sufficient numbers of qualified personnel, including senior management. Our strategy and our ability to innovate, design and produce new products, sell products, maintain operating margins and control expenses depend on key personnel that may be difficult to replace.

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, including senior management and international personnel. From time to time, we experience turnover in some of our senior management positions.

We compensate our employees through a combination of salary, bonuses, benefits and equity compensation. Recruiting and retaining skilled personnel, including software and hardware engineers, is highly competitive. If we fail to provide competitive compensation to our employees, it will be difficult to retain, hire and integrate qualified employees and contractors, and we may not be able to maintain and expand our business. If we do not retain our senior managers or other key employees for any reason, we risk losing institutional knowledge, experience, expertise and other benefits of continuity as well as the ability to attract and retain other key employees. In addition, we must carefully balance the growth of our employee base with our current infrastructure, management resources and anticipated operating cash flows. If we are unable to manage the growth of our employee base, particularly engineers, we may fail to develop and introduce new products successfully and in a cost-effective and timely manner. If our revenue growth or employee levels vary significantly, our operating cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected. Volatility or lack of positive performance in our stock price, including declines in our stock prices in the past year, may also affect our ability to retain key employees, many of whom have been granted equity incentives. Logitech’s practice has been to provide equity incentives to its employees, but the number of shares available for equity grants is limited. We may find it difficult to provide competitive equity incentives, and our ability to hire, retain and motivate key personnel may suffer.

Recently and in past years, we have initiated reductions in our workforce to align our employee base with our anticipated revenue base or with our areas of focus. We have also experienced turnover in our workforce. These reductions and turnover have resulted in reallocations of duties, which could result in employee uncertainty and discontent. Reductions in our workforce could make it difficult to attract, motivate and retain employees, which could adversely affect our business.

Our business depends in part on access to third-party platforms or technologies, and if the access is withdrawn, denied, or is not available on terms acceptable to us, or if the platforms or technologies change without notice to us, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our peripherals business has historically been built largely around the PC platform, which over time became relatively open, and its inputs and operating system standardized. With the growth of mobile, tablet, gaming and other computer devices, the number of platforms has grown, and with it the complexity and increased need for us to have business and contractual relationships with the platform owners in order to produce products compatible with these platforms. Our product portfolio includes current and future products designed for use with third-party platforms or software, such as the Apple iPad, iPod and iPhone, Android phones and tablets, Sony PlayStation, and Nintendo Wii. Our business in these categories relies on our access to the platforms of third parties, some of whom are our competitors. Our access to these third-party platforms can be withdrawn, denied or not be available on terms acceptable to us. Moreover, as we

Table of Contents

expand the number of platforms and software applications with which our products are compatible, we may not be successful in launching products for those platforms or software applications, we may not be successful in establishing strong relationships with the new platform or software owners, or we may negatively impact our ability to develop and produce high-quality products on a timely basis for those platforms and software applications or we may otherwise adversely affect our relationships with existing platform or software owners.

Our access to third-party platforms may require paying a royalty, which lowers our product margins, or may otherwise be on terms that are not acceptable to us. In addition, the third-party platforms or technologies used to interact with our product portfolio can be delayed in production or can change without prior notice to us, which can result in our having excess inventory or lower margins.

If we are unable to access third-party platforms or technologies, or if our access is withdrawn, denied, or is not available on terms acceptable to us, or if the platforms or technologies are delayed or change without notice to us, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

We rely on third parties to sell and distribute our products, and we rely on their information to manage our business. Disruption of our relationship with these channel partners, changes in their business practices, their failure to provide timely and accurate information or conflicts among our channels of distribution could adversely affect our business, results of operations, operating cash flows and financial condition.

Our sales channel partners, the distributors and retailers who distribute and sell our products, also sell products offered by our competitors and, in the case of retailer house brands, may also be our competitors. If product competitors offer our sales channel partners more favorable terms, have more products available to meet their needs, or utilize the leverage of broader product lines sold through the channel, or if our retailer channel partners show preference for their own house brands, our sales channel partners may de-emphasize or decline to carry our products. In addition, certain of our sales channel partners could decide to de-emphasize the product categories that we offer in exchange for other product categories that they believe provide them with higher returns. If we are unable to maintain successful relationships with these sales channel partners or to maintain our distribution channels, our business will suffer.

The impact of economic conditions, evolving consumer preferences, and purchasing patterns on our distribution partners, or competition between our sales channels, could result in sales channel disruption. For example, if sales at large retail stores are displaced as a result of bankruptcy, competition from internet sales channels or otherwise, our product sales could be adversely affected. Any loss of a major partner or distribution channel or other channel disruption could make us more dependent on alternate channels, increase pricing and promotional pressures from other partners and distribution channels, increase our marketing costs, or adversely impact buying and inventory patterns, payment terms or other contractual terms.

We use retail sell-through data, which represents sales of our products by our retailer customers to consumers, and by our distributor customers to their customers, along with other metrics, to assess consumer demand for our products. Sell-through data is subject to limitations due to collection methods and the third party nature of the data and thus may not be an accurate indicator of actual consumer demand for our products. In addition, the customers supplying sell-through data vary by geographic region and from period to period, but typically represent a majority of our retail sales. If we do not receive this information on a timely and accurate basis, or if we do not properly interpret this information, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Our principal manufacturing operations and third-party contract manufacturers are located in China and Southeast Asia, which exposes us to risks associated with doing business in that geographic area.

Table of Contents

We produce a significant portion of our products at facilities we own in China. The majority of our other production is performed by third-party contract manufacturers in China. We also utilize third-party contract manufacturers in Malaysia and India.

Our manufacturing operations in China could be adversely affected by changes in the interpretation and enforcement of legal standards, by strains on China’s available labor pool, communications, trade, and other infrastructures, by natural disasters, by conflicts or disagreements between China and Taiwan or China and the United States, by labor unrest, and by other trade customs and practices that are dissimilar to those in the United States and Europe. Interpretation and enforcement of China’s laws and regulations continue to evolve and we expect differences in interpretation and enforcement to continue in the foreseeable future.

Our manufacturing operations at third-party contractors could be adversely affected by contractual disagreements, by labor unrest, by natural disasters, by strains on local communications, trade, and other infrastructures, by competition for the available labor pool or manufacturing capacity, and by other trade customs and practices that are dissimilar to those in the United States and Europe.

Further, we may be exposed to fluctuations in the value of the local currency in the countries in which manufacturing occurs. Future appreciation of these local currencies could increase our component and other raw material costs. In addition, our labor costs could continue to rise as wage rates increase and the available labor pool declines. These conditions could adversely affect our gross margins and financial results.

We purchase key components and products from a limited number of sources, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected if supply were delayed or constrained or if there were shortages of required components.

We purchase certain products and key components from a limited number of sources. If the supply of these products or key components, such as micro-controllers, optical sensors and LifeSize hardware products, were to be delayed or constrained, or if one or more of our single-source suppliers goes out of business as a result of adverse global economic conditions or natural disasters, we might be unable to find a new supplier on acceptable terms, or at all, and our product shipments to our customers could be delayed, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Lead times for materials, components and products ordered by us or by our contract manufacturers can vary significantly and depend on factors such as contract terms, demand for a component, and supplier capacity. From time to time, we have experienced component shortages and extended lead times on semiconductors, such as micro-controllers and optical sensors, and base metals used in our products. Shortages or interruptions in the supply of components or subcontracted products, or our inability to procure these components or products from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could delay shipment of our products or increase our production costs, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

If we do not successfully coordinate the worldwide manufacturing and distribution of our products, we could lose sales.

Our business requires us to coordinate the manufacture and distribution of our products over much of the world. We rely on third parties to manufacture many of our products, manage centralized distribution centers, and transport our products. If we do not successfully coordinate the timely manufacturing and distribution of our products, we may have insufficient supply of products to meet customer demand and we could lose sales, or we may experience a build-up in inventory.

A significant portion of our quarterly retail orders and product deliveries generally occur in the last weeks of the fiscal quarter. This places pressure on our supply chain and could adversely affect our revenues and profitability if we are unable to successfully fulfill customer orders in the quarter.

Table of Contents

We conduct operations in a number of countries, and have invested significantly in growing our sales and marketing activities in China, and the effect of business, legal and political risks associated with international operations could adversely affect us.

We conduct operations in a number of countries, and have invested significantly in growing our sales and marketing activities in China. We may also increase our investments to grow sales in other emerging markets, such as Latin America and Eastern Europe. There are risks inherent in doing business in international markets, including:

· difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;

· compliance with laws and regulations, including environmental and tax laws, which vary from country to country and over time, increasing the costs of compliance and potential risks of non-compliance;

· exposure to political and financial instability, especially with the uncertainty associated with the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in certain Euro zone countries, which may lead to currency exchange losses and collection difficulties or other losses;

· exposure to fluctuations in the value of local currencies;

· difficulties and increased costs in establishing sales and distribution channels in unfamiliar markets, with their own market characteristics and competition;

· changes in VAT (value-added tax) or VAT reimbursement;

· imposition of currency exchange controls; and

· delays from customs brokers or government agencies.

Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our sales in China have increased substantially in the last two fiscal years, and continued sales growth in China is an important part of our expectations for our business. As a result, if Chinese economic, political or business conditions deteriorate, or if one or more of the risks described above materializes in China, our overall business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary rights. Unauthorized use of our technology may result in the development of products that compete with our products.

Our future success depends in part on our proprietary technology, technical know-how and other intellectual property. We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws, and confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions such as nondisclosure terms and licenses, to protect our intellectual property.

We hold various United States patents and pending applications, together with corresponding patents and pending applications from other countries. It is possible that any patent owned by us will be invalidated, deemed unenforceable, circumvented or challenged, that the patent rights granted will not provide competitive advantages to us, or that any of our pending or future patent applications will not be granted. In addition, other intellectual property laws or our confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions may not adequately protect our intellectual property. Also, others may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products, or design around our patents or other intellectual property rights. Unauthorized parties have copied and may in the future attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Table of Contents

Claims by others that we infringe their proprietary technology could adversely affect our business.

We have been expanding the categories of products we sell, and entering new markets, such as the market for enterprise video conferencing and our introduction of products for tablets and mobile devices. We expect to continue to enter new categories and markets. As we do so, we face an increased risk that claims alleging we infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of others, regardless of the merit of the claims, may increase in number and significance. Infringement claims against us may also increase as the functionality of video, voice, data and conferencing products begin to overlap. This risk is heightened by the increase in lawsuits brought by holders of patents that do not have an operating business. Intellectual property lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties due to the complexity of the technical issues involved, and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in defending ourselves against intellectual property claims. A successful claimant could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages or prevents us from distributing certain products or performing certain services. We might also be required to seek a license for the use of such intellectual property, which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Alternatively, we may be required to develop non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense and may ultimately not be successful. Any claims or proceedings against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation or the diversion of significant operational resources, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Product quality issues could adversely affect our reputation and could impact our operating results.

The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. To remain competitive, we must continually introduce new products and technologies. The products that we sell could contain defects in design or manufacture. Defects could also occur in the products or components that are supplied to us. There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and remedy all defects in the hardware and software we sell. Failure to do so could result in product recalls, product redesign efforts, lost revenue, loss of reputation, and significant warranty and other expenses to remedy.

The collection, storage, transmission, use and distribution of user data could give rise to liabilities and additional costs of operation as a result of laws and governmental regulation.

In connection with certain of our products, we collect data related to our consumers. This information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world, and especially in Europe. Government actions are typically intended to protect the privacy and security of personal information and its collection, storage, transmission, use and distribution in or from the governing jurisdiction. In addition, because various jurisdictions have different laws and regulations concerning the use, storage and transmission of such information, we may face requirements that pose compliance challenges in existing markets as well as new international markets that we seek to enter. Such laws and regulations, and the variation between jurisdictions, could subject us to costs, liabilities or negative publicity that could adversely affect our business.

Our effective income tax rates may increase in the future, which could adversely affect our net income.

We operate in multiple jurisdictions and our profits are taxed pursuant to the tax laws of these jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate may be affected by changes in or interpretations of tax laws in any given jurisdiction, utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, changes in geographical allocation of income and expense, and changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the realizability of deferred tax assets. In the past, we have experienced fluctuations in our effective income tax rate. Our effective income tax rate in a given fiscal year reflects a variety of factors that may not be present in the succeeding fiscal year or years. There is no assurance that our effective income tax rate will not change in future periods.
