Logitech Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial
Results for FY 2011
FREMONT, Calif., April. 27, 2011 and MORGES, Switzerland, April. 28, 2011 Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of Fiscal Year 2011.
Sales for Q4 FY 2011 were $548 million, up 4 percent from $525 million in the same quarter last year. Excluding the favorable impact of exchange rate changes, sales increased by 3 percent. Operating income was $3.6 million, a decrease of 87 percent compared to $27.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net income for Q4 was $2.8 million ($0.02 per share) compared to $24.5 million ($0.14 per share) in Q4 of FY 2010. Gross margin for Q4 FY 2011 was 32.8 percent, down from 35.8 percent one year ago.
Logitechs retail sales for Q4 FY 2011 grew by 2 percent year over year, with an increase in Asia of 32 percent, an increase in the Americas of 11 percent, and a decrease in EMEA of 17 percent. OEM sales decreased by 10 percent. Sales for the LifeSize division grew 88 percent, reaching a record high for a quarter.
For the full fiscal year, sales were $2.36 billion, up 20 percent from $1.97 billion in FY 2010. Operating income was $142.7 million, up 82 percent from $78.4 million a year ago. Gross margin for FY 2011 was 35.4 percent compared to 31.9 in FY 2010.
FY 2011 was a strong year for the company, with sales growth of 20 percent and operating income nearly doubling, driven by our LifeSize division and our Americas and Asia retail regions, said Gerald P. Quindlen, Logitech president and chief executive officer. The disappointing conclusion to FY 2011 which resulted in lower-than expected full-year sales, operating income and gross margin was due to weaker than anticipated demand in the second half of Q4 for our products in EMEA. The weakness in demand in EMEA was compounded by poor execution of channel pricing and promotional programs within the region, which we have begun to remedy.

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including the statements regarding anticipated sales, operating income, gross margin and tax rate for FY 2012. The forward-looking statements in this release involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Logitechs actual results to differ materially from that anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: the demand of our customers and our consumers for our products and our ability to accurately forecast it; if our decisions to prioritize investments in our LifeSize division, in growing our sales and marketing in China and other high potential emerging markets, in peripherals for tablets, and in our other investment priorities, do not result in the sales or profitability growth we expect, or when we expect it; the effect of pricing, product, marketing and other initiatives by our competitors, and our reaction to them, on our sales, gross margins and profitability; the sales mix among our lower- and higher-margin products and our geographic sales mix; if our product introductions and marketing activities do not result in the sales and profitability growth we expect, or when we expect it; if we fail to take advantage of trends in the consumer electronics and personal computers industries, including the growth of mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets with touch interfaces, or if significant demand for peripherals to use with tablets and other mobile devices with touch interfaces does not develop; if there is a deterioration of business and economic conditions or significant fluctuations in currency exchange rates; competition in the video conferencing and communications industry, including from companies with significantly greater resources, sales and marketing organizations, installed base and name recognition; as well as those additional factors set forth in Logitechs periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange

Constant dollar sales (sales excluding impact of exchange rate changes)
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 periods average exchange rate for that currency.
