PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

Logitech is a world leader in products that connect people to digital experiences. 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.

Logitech was founded in Switzerland in 1981, and Logitech International S.A. has been the parent holding company of Logitech since 1988. Logitech International S.A. is a Swiss holding company with its registered office in Apples, Switzerland, which conducts its business through subsidiaries in the Americas (including North and South America), EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and Asia Pacific (including, among other countries, China, Taiwan, Japan, India and Australia). Shares of Logitech International S.A. are listed on both the Nasdaq Global Select Market, under the trading symbol LOGI, and the SIX Swiss Exchange, under the trading symbol LOGN. References in this Form 10-K to the “Company,” “Logitech,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Logitech International S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Logitech has two operating segments, peripherals and video conferencing.

Our peripherals segment encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of peripherals for PCs (personal computers) and other digital platforms. Our products for the PC include mice, trackballs, keyboards, interactive gaming controllers, multimedia speakers, headsets, webcams, and lapdesks. Our Internet communications products include webcams, headsets, video communications services, and digital video security systems for a home or small business. Our digital music products include speakers, earphones, and custom in-ear monitors. For home entertainment systems, we offer the Harmony line of advanced remote controls, Squeezebox wireless music solutions and, in the United States, a line of Logitech products for the Google TV platform. For gaming consoles, we offer a range of gaming controllers and microphones, as well as other accessories.

Our peripherals research and product management teams are organized along product lines, and are responsible for product strategy, industrial design and development, and technological innovation. Our global marketing and sales organization helps define product opportunities and bring our products to market, and is responsible for building the Logitech brand and consumer awareness of our products. This organization is comprised of retail and OEM (original equipment manufacturers) sales and marketing groups. Our retail sales and marketing activities are organized into three geographic regions: Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Our OEM sales team is a worldwide organization with representatives in each of our three regions.

We sell our peripheral products to a network of distributors and resellers and to 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 85%, 89% and 85% of our net sales in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. 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. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, sales to OEM customers were 9%, 10% and 15% of our net sales.

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

4

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 webcam and video communications groups. We sell our LifeSize products and services to distributors, value-added resellers, OEMs and, occasionally, direct enterprise customers. Sales of LifeSize products were 6% and 1% of our net sales in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. We acquired LifeSize on December 11, 2009. Based on financial measurements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 as evaluated by Logitech’s Chief Executive Officer, the LifeSize operating segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure of financial information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Since 1994, we have had our own manufacturing operations in Suzhou, China, which currently handle approximately half of our total production of peripheral products. We outsource the remaining production to contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers located in Asia. Our LifeSize video communications products are manufactured in Malaysia under contract with a third-party manufacturer. Both our in-house and outsourced manufacturing is managed by our worldwide operations group. The worldwide operations group also supports the business units and marketing and sales organizations through management of distribution centers and of the product supply chain, and the provision of technical support, customer relations and other services.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we generated net sales of $2.4 billion, operating income of $142.7 million and net income of $128.5 million. We employed approximately 11,000 employees as of March 31, 2011 and conducted business in approximately 104 countries.

A summary of our net sales and long-lived assets by geographic region can be found in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 15, which is incorporated herein by reference. A discussion of factors potentially affecting our operations is set forth in Item 1A Risk Factors, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Industry Overview

Historically, Logitech’s business has been driven by the same trends that drove the adoption of desktop and laptop PCs for consumer, business and institutional applications, including the growth in affordable processing power, communications bandwidth, the increased accessibility of digital content, and the growing and pervasive use of the Internet for productivity, communication and entertainment. These trends have created opportunities for new applications, new users and dramatically richer interaction between people and digital content. Logitech has enhanced these applications and interactions with supporting peripherals as well as the development of its own innovative applications.

The PC industry continues to provide Logitech with significant opportunity. In our mature markets, such as the United States, Canada, Western and Nordic Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, the installed base of PC users is large and continues to grow moderately. In emerging markets, such as China, Brazil, India and Russia, the installed base of PC users is experiencing strong growth, presenting new opportunities for Logitech to broaden its PC peripherals customer base. For example, China’s Internet population is now 20 percent of the world’s Internet population, and Internet users in India, Brazil and Russia are growing significantly as well. These large populations are also younger than the populations of Internet users in more mature markets.

In addition, there is growing adoption in both mature and emerging markets of new mobile platforms for consumer and business use of digital content, such as tablets and smartphones. These platforms are experiencing strong growth, and Logitech is well positioned to offer peripherals and accessories to augment the use of tablets and other connected computing devices. For example, consumers are optimizing their tablet listening experiences with premium earphones and speaker docks. 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

5

comfortably. Logitech is also leveraging the use of tablets and other connected computing devices to extend the convenience and flexibility of some existing product lines. For example, customers of Logitech’s Alert video security cameras can monitor their home from their iPad or smartphone.

Beyond mobile digital devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones, an increasing number of consumers in both mature and emerging markets are enjoying their digital content on their TV screen. Consumers are connecting their PC to the TV screen to interact with the Web or they are connecting their TV to a dedicated device that can deliver Internet content such as search, shopping or games, streaming movies or video calling. Opportunities for Logitech to support consumers’ adoption of connected TVs continue to unfold. In addition to providing control devices for the connected TV, Logitech has begun offering a TV cam for video communication and the Company has partnered with Google to offer a companion box that runs the Google TV software platform for connected TVs.

The use of video across all these platforms — mobile devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones, and the TV — is a growing trend among consumers. The video communication industry continues to make progress toward a vision in which people can conduct a video call from any of these platforms to any other platform. Logitech has showcased such interoperability by enabling video calling between a TV and a PC. Other providers are offering the ability to conduct a video call between a smartphone or tablet and a PC or Mac.

The trend among businesses and institutions to use video conferencing is even more prevalent than consumer use of video calling, and offers a key growth opportunity for Logitech. For businesses and institutions, video conferencing is increasingly substituted for travel, because of high travel costs as well as the productivity gain that can be achieved by a high-quality face-to-face meeting that does not require travel away from the office. Further, with the increased availability of higher Internet bandwidth, video conferencing is becoming a key component of UC (unified communications), which is the integration of enterprise-class collaboration and communications solutions such as voice mail, e-mail, chat, presentation sharing and live video meetings. With large, well-financed competitors such as Cisco and Hewlett-Packard also showing interest in this market, the competition is greater than in Logitech’s traditional markets. However, we believe that Logitech is well-positioned to compete with differentiated video and audio solutions that support the emerging UC platforms.

Finally, we believe that trends established in the consumer technology market, such as brand identity, affordability, ease of installation and use as well as visual appeal, have become important aspects of the purchase decision when buying a consumer electronics product. These are strengths that Logitech offers in both consumer and business markets.

Consumer Behavior and Customer Experience Strategy

Our strategy is to continue our emphasis on a deep understanding of consumers in each market and on integrating consumer insights into our product development and marketing. The mission of our customer experience organization is to strive to understand our consumers so that we can create products and services that accurately anticipate their needs — and reach them through marketing programs that are relevant to them. We are also focused on understanding and improving the consumer’s overall experience with Logitech products. The customer experience group’s goal is to ensure optimal levels of experience in all Logitech products and at each consumer touch point. We use metrics and consumer feedback mechanisms to drive meaningful and measurable improvements in our products. We believe that these improvements increase consumer loyalty over time. In addition, by focusing on maximizing the number of consumers who actively recommend Logitech products, we are fueling brand preference within and across our many product categories. This is especially important because we believe today’s consumer exhibits increasing skepticism toward manufacturers, yet is more trusting of personal recommendations.

6

Business Strategy

Logitech’s objective is to develop a strong portfolio of growth opportunities by linking people to the digital world wherever and whenever they need to access digital information for work or play. Historically, the PC has been the main interface to the digital world and the Internet. As access to digital information expands beyond the PC platform, we are also extending our portfolio to mobile devices, enterprise video communications, and the digital home as access points to the Internet and the digital world.

Our core business focuses on the substantial installed and still-growing base of PCs and Mac computers by offering innovative peripherals to address needs for comfort, productivity and easy connectivity, as well as entertainment and communication. We believe that the market for PC peripherals will continue to present growth opportunities. In developed markets, the installed base of users is large and continues to grow moderately. In emerging markets, such as China, the installed base of users is experiencing strong growth, presenting new opportunities for Logitech to broaden its PC peripherals customer base. As new connected devices for consumer and business use of digital content are developed and adopted, we also believe there are excellent opportunities for Logitech peripherals and accessories to improve the productivity, navigation and control abilities of tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices, enabling consumers to create, consume and share digital content more conveniently and comfortably.

Our LifeSize division focuses on video conferencing for businesses and institutions, and the potential for video conferencing as a key component of the large, fast-growing and relatively early-stage UC market. We believe that a strategy of high quality experience combined with a compelling price/performance advantage will allow us to grow our video communications business, expand into emerging markets and infrastructure solutions, and support emerging UC platforms with differentiated video and audio solutions.

Our digital home business is based on the strength of our remote controls products and the potential of our products for Google TV. Although it is early in the development and adoption of Internet connected televisions, we believe the opportunity exists to develop another significant installed base for our products over time.

We continually evaluate our product offerings and our strategic direction in light of current global economic conditions, changing consumer trends, and the evolving nature of the interface between the consumer and the digital world.

Product Strategy

To capitalize on the opportunities we anticipate in the growing digital marketplace, Logitech’s product strategy focuses on enabling and enhancing the multiple interfaces for input, navigation, audio and video across the many connected devices used by today’s consumers and enterprises.

The PC/Mobile Device

Logitech continues to provide new, more innovative, high-performance PC and Mac computer navigation devices for the large existing installed base of PC and Mac computers. In addition, we are also a leading brand for video communication products and PC audio products. The significant growth of tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices provides opportunities for Logitech to support these platforms. Our current product portfolio includes the Logitech Keyboard Case for the iPad 2, wireless portable speakers and the Ultimate Ears line-up of earphones, and we expect to significantly expand our line of products for tablets and other mobile devices in fiscal year 2012. We believe there will be additional demand for complementary peripherals to enhance consumers’ experiences with tablets and other mobile devices.

7

The Meeting Room

Our LifeSize division represents our focused investment in the growth of video communications in enterprises and organizations. LifeSize is a leader in HD communication innovation at multiple price points, offering complete and scalable solutions including hardware, software, endpoints, services and infrastructure to small and medium enterprises. LifeSize is also developing solutions interoperable with Logitech webcams and audio peripherals to leverage our combined expertise.

The Living Room

The dramatic proliferation of digital content available for the home provides a significant source of new opportunities for Logitech. We believe that the new digital home — with a broad and evolving selection of digital entertainment and information content available from multiple sources, and the innovation in affordably priced digital-technology equipment — will over time allow us to play a significant role in the home entertainment experience for a much wider audience.

Our product portfolio includes a line of advanced remote controls for home entertainment, the Squeezebox network music system that allows people to enjoy digital music in any room of the house, the Alert video security solution, and Logitech Revue for Google TV and related peripherals. These products represent part of our strategy to pursue new opportunities in the digital home environment, positioning Logitech at the convergence of consumer electronics and personal computing in the digital home. Logitech also offers a broad spectrum of products to enhance gaming consoles. We continue to innovate and develop new product offerings focused around the TV screen.

Geographic Expansion

We believe the market opportunities for Logitech products are growing in emerging markets such as China, India, Latin America and Eastern Europe. In China, we are investing significantly in expanding our sales force and local product and marketing initiatives designed specifically for the China market, as well as securing new channel partners and strengthening relationships with existing partners. As part of our business strategy, we plan to leverage the knowledge gained in China to capitalize on the additional growth opportunities available in other key emerging geographic areas.

Manufacturing

To effectively respond to rapidly changing demand and to leverage economies of scale, we intend to continue our hybrid model of in-house manufacturing and third-party contract manufacturers to supply our products. Through our high-volume manufacturing operations for peripherals located in Suzhou, China, we believe we have been able to maintain strong quality process controls and have realized significant cost efficiencies. Our Suzhou operation provides for increased production capacity and greater flexibility in responding to product demand. Further, by outsourcing the manufacturing of certain products, we seek to reduce volatility in production volumes as well as improve time to market.

Technological Innovation

Logitech seeks 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 living room, and the meeting room, in addition to the PC, 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 this expansion of access points provides additional attractive and sizable opportunities for Logitech because the relevance and importance of navigation, interaction, video and audio interfaces and applications remains substantially the same across platforms.

8

We recognize that continued investment in product research and development is critical to facilitating innovation of new and improved products and technologies. Seven of Logitech’s products were selected as 2011 CES (Computer Electronics Show) Innovation Award honorees, including the Logitech Keyboard Controller, which includes everything you need to control your Logitech Revue with Google TV as well as other TV accessories, the Logitech TV Cam, which lets you make and receive HD video calls on your HDTV through your Logitech Revue box, our Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 that powers itself wherever there’s light, the HD Pro Webcam C910 for recording video in HD 1080p and making video calls in HD 720p with stereo audio, the Wireless Gaming Mouse G700 with full-speed wireless connection and 13 controls programmable for single actions or complex macros at a single click, the Wireless Headset F540 designed for console gamers and providing wireless stereo audio and voice chat connecting up to three devices and the Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Dolby surround sound in a positional soundfield as well as gaming-grade wireless technology. Logitech also introduced in fiscal year 2011 a variety of UC (unified communications) solutions, including Logitech for Business HD webcams, headsets optimized for Microsoft Lync 2010, and LifeSize video conferencing products, which enable the integration of multiple communication channels within an enterprise, such as VoIP (voice-over internet protocol), email, video conferencing and instant messaging.

Logitech is committed to meeting consumers’ needs for peripheral devices and believes that innovation, value and product quality are important elements to gaining market acceptance and strengthening our market position.

Competitive Strengths

We believe the key competitive strengths that allow Logitech to be successful in the markets in which we compete include:

• Our understanding of product definition, technology and industrial design excellence, as demonstrated by the various awards that our product designs continue to receive.

• Our expertise in key engineering disciplines that underlie our products and our continued enhancement of our products through the use of advanced technologies.

• Our continuing to embrace new technologies and standards, with a list of over 100 industry “firsts” to our name and a patent portfolio of approximately 450 patents.

• The Logitech and LifeSize brand names and industrial designs which are recognized worldwide as symbols of product quality, innovation, ease of use and price-performance value.

• Our volume manufacturing and distribution capabilities which allow us to maintain strong quality process controls and realize significant cost efficiencies.

• Our global presence, capable of drawing upon the strengths of our global resources, global distribution system and geographical revenue mix.

• Our expertise in a broad array of PC peripherals and video conferencing solutions.

We believe that we have competed successfully based on these factors. We believe that Logitech’s future lies with our ability to continue to capitalize on these strengths.

Research and Development

We believe that continued investment in product research and development is critical to Logitech’s success. Our international structure provides advantages and synergies to our overall product development efforts. We have development centers in the United States, Switzerland, Ireland, Canada, Germany, India and Taiwan.

Our research and development expenses for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 were $156.4 million, $135.8 million, and $128.8 million. We expect to continue to devote significant resources to research and development, including devices for the digital home, video communications, wireless technologies, power management, user interfaces and device database management to sustain our competitive position.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

Principal Markets

Net sales to unaffiliated customers by geographic region were as follows (in thousands):

	Year ended March 31,
	2011		2010		2009
EMEA	$	872,774	$	882,635	$	1,001,337
Americas		1,032,988		729,473		785,862
Asia Pacific		457,124		354,640		421,633
Total net sales	$	2,362,886	$	1,966,748	$	2,208,832

13

Revenues from sales to customers in Switzerland, our home domicile, represented a small portion of our total consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009. In fiscal years 2011 and 2009, no single country other than the United States represented more than 10% of our total consolidated net sales. The United States and Germany each represented more than 10% of our total consolidated net sales for fiscal year 2010.

In fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, Ingram Micro Inc. and its affiliated entities together accounted for 12%, 13% and 14% of our net sales. No other customer individually accounted for more than 10% of our net sales during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009. The material terms of our distribution agreements with Ingram Micro and its affiliated entities are summarized as follows:

• The agreements are non-exclusive in the particular territory and contain no minimum purchase requirements.

• Each agreement may be terminated for convenience at any time by either party. Most agreements provide for termination on 30 days’ written notice from either party, with two Ingram Micro agreements providing for termination on 90 days’ notice.

• We generally offer an allowance for marketing activities equal to a negotiated percentage of sales and volume rebates related to purchase volumes or sales of specific products to specified retailers. These terms vary by agreement.

• Most agreements allow price protection credits to be issued for on–hand or in transit new inventory if we, in our sole discretion, lower the price of the product.

• We grant limited rights to return product, which vary by distributor. Under most of the Ingram Micro agreements, the Ingram Micro entities may return defective products and may return up to 10% of the previous quarter’s purchases, if they place an offsetting order for the amount they returned. Under one agreement, the Ingram Micro entity may return aged products or take a nominal credit for inventory held over 60 days.

Marketing

Logitech builds awareness of our products and recognition of the Logitech brand through targeted advertising, public relations efforts, social media, distinct packaging of our retail products, in-store promotions and merchandising, a Worldwide Web site and other efforts. We also acquire knowledge of our users through customer feedback and market research, including focus groups, product registrations, user questionnaires, primary and multi-client surveys and other techniques. In addition, manufacturers of PCs and other products also receive customer feedback and perform user market research, which sometimes results in requests to Logitech for specific products, features or enhancements.

Sales and Distribution

Logitech sells its peripherals through many distribution channels, including distributors, OEMs and regional and national retail chains, including online retailers. We support these retail channels with third-party distribution centers located in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. These centers perform final configuration of products and product localization with local language manuals, packaging, software CDs and power plugs.

In retail channels, Logitech’s direct sales force sells to distributors and large retailers. These distributors in North America include Ingram Micro, Tech Data Corporation, D&H Distributing, and Synnex Corporation. In Europe, pan-European distributors include Ingram Micro, Tech Data, and Gem Distribution. We also sell to many regional distributors such as Actebis GmbH in Germany and Copaco Dc B.V. in the Netherlands. In Asia, major distributors include Beijing Digital China Limited in China, Daiwabo in Japan, and the pan-Asian distributor, Ingram Micro. Our distributor customers typically resell products to retailers, value-added resellers, systems integrators and other distributors with whom Logitech does not have a direct relationship.

14

Logitech’s products can be purchased in most major retail chains, where we typically have access to significant shelf space. These chains in the U.S. include Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Staples, Target, and Office Depot. In Europe, chains include Metro Group (MediaMarkt and Saturn), Carrefour Group, Kesa Electricals, Fnac, and Dixons Stores Group PLC, and in Asia Pacific, Australia’s Dick Smith Electronics Limited. Logitech products can also be purchased at the top online e-tailers, which include Amazon.com, TigerDirect.com, Buy.com, CDW, Insight Enterprises, Inc. and others.

Logitech’s OEM products are sold to large OEM customers through a direct sales force, and we support smaller OEM customers through distributors. We count the majority of the world’s largest PC manufacturers among our customers.

Our Life Size division maintains a separate marketing and sales organization that sells LifeSize products and services to distributors, value-added resellers, OEMs and direct enterprise customers. The large majority of LifeSize revenues are derived from sales of products for use by large enterprises, small-to-medium businesses and public healthcare, education and government organizations.

Through our operating subsidiaries, we maintain sales offices or sales representatives in 38 countries.

Backlog

We typically have a relatively small amount of orders at the end of our fiscal periods that we have received but have not shipped, which is referred to as backlog. In our experience, the amount of backlog at any particular fiscal period-end is not a meaningful indication of our future business prospects. Our backlog often increases in anticipation of or immediately following new product introductions as retailers anticipate shortages and is often reduced once retailers and customers believe they can obtain sufficient supply. Our net sales in any fiscal year depend primarily on orders booked and shipped in that year, and our customers generally order on an as-needed basis. In addition, our backlog is occasionally subject to cancellation or rescheduling by customers. Therefore, there is a lack of meaningful correlation between backlog at the end of a fiscal year and the following fiscal year’s net sales. Similarly, there is a lack of meaningful correlation between year-over-year changes in backlog as compared with year-over-year changes in net sales. As a result, we believe that backlog information is not material to an understanding of our overall business.

Customer Service and Technical Support

Logitech maintains customer service and technical support operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. Customer service and technical personnel provide support services to retail purchasers of products through telephone, e-mail, forums, chat, facsimile and the Logitech Web site. The Logitech Web site is designed to expedite overall response time while minimizing the resources required for effective customer support. In general, OEMs provide customer service and technical support for their products, including components purchased from suppliers such as Logitech. Logitech provides warranties on our branded products which range from one to five years.

Manufacturing

Logitech’s manufacturing operations consist principally of final assembly and testing. Our high-volume manufacturing facility for peripherals products is located in Suzhou, China. The Suzhou facilities are designed to allow production growth as well as flexibility in responding to changing demands for Logitech’s products. We continue to focus on ensuring the efficiency of the Suzhou facilities, through the implementation of quality management and employee involvement programs.

New product launches, process engineering, commodities management, logistics, quality assurance, operations management and management of Logitech’s contract manufacturers occur in Hsinchu, Taiwan,

15

Suzhou, China, Shenzhen, China and Hong Kong, China. Certain components are manufactured to Logitech’s specifications by vendors in Asia, the United States and Europe. We also use contract manufacturers to supplement internal capacity and to reduce volatility in production volumes. In addition, some products, including most keyboards, certain gaming devices, certain audio products, and video conferencing equipment are manufactured by third-party suppliers to Logitech’s specifications. Retail product localization with local language manuals, packaging, software CDs and power plugs is performed at distribution centers in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Competition

Our 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 experienced 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 the retail 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.

In addition, we have been expanding the categories of products we sell, and entering new markets, such as the market for enterprise video conferencing. 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 future ones we might enter. Many of these companies have greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we have.

We expect continued competitive pressure in our retail, OEM, and video conferencing business, including in the terms and conditions that our competitors offer customers, 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.

Pointing Devices, Keyboards and Desktops. Microsoft Corporation is our main competitor in our 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 impact our market share.

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. Our Squeezebox network-based audio systems for digital music compete with systems from several small competitors as well as larger established consumer electronics companies, like Sony Corporation and Royal Philips Electronics NV.

Video. Our competitors for PC Web cameras include Microsoft, Creative Labs, Philips and Hewlett-Packard. We are encountering aggressive pricing practices and promotions on a worldwide basis, which have negatively impacted our revenues and margins. The worldwide market for PC webcams has been very competitive, and as a result, pricing practices and promotions by our competitors have become more aggressive.

16

Gaming. Competitors for our interactive entertainment products include 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. Our products for Google TV compete to some extent with those offered by Sony, Apple Inc. and Roku, Inc., and more broadly, with connectivity devices and peripherals for other connected or smart TV platforms. We expect that the growth in recent years in consumer demand for peripheral devices for home entertainment systems will likely result in increased competition.

Video Conferencing. Our primary competitors in the enterprise video conferencing market are Cisco’s Tandberg subsidiary, Polycom, Inc., Radvision Ltd., Sony and Vidyo, Inc. Some of these companies have longer industry experience and a larger customer installed base than LifeSize. Cisco and Hewlett-Packard also compete with us for sales of higher-end systems, and have substantially greater financial, sales and marketing, and engineering resources than we do. In addition, Microsoft’s recent offer to acquire Skype Limited, if consummated, has the potential to give Microsoft a large user base for future competitive video chat and video-conferencing products, along with integration potential across Microsoft’s product portfolio. There are also a number of smaller competitors which compete with LifeSize, along with Polycom, Cisco and Hewlett-Packard, for new accounts, OEM relationships, and installations.

Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

Intellectual property rights that apply to Logitech’s products and services include patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets.

We hold various United States patents and pending applications, together with corresponding patents and pending applications from other countries. While we believe that patent protection is important, we also believe that patents are of less competitive significance than factors such as technological expertise and innovation, ease of use, and quality design. No single patent is in itself essential to Logitech as a whole. From time to time we receive claims that we may be infringing on patents or other intellectual property rights of others. Claims are referred to counsel, and current claims are in various stages of evaluation and negotiation. If necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses for certain intellectual property rights. Refer also to the discussion in Item 1A Risk Factors — “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.” and “Claims by others that we infringe their proprietary technology could harm our business.”

To distinguish genuine Logitech products from competing products and counterfeit products, Logitech has used, registered, or applied to register certain trademarks and trade names in the U.S. and in foreign countries and jurisdictions. Logitech enforces its trademark and trade name rights in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, the software for Logitech’s products and services is entitled to copyright protection, and we generally require our customers to obtain a software license before providing them with that software. We also protect details about our products and services as trade secrets through employee training, license and non-disclosure agreements and technical measures.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to laws and regulations in many jurisdictions regulating the materials used in our products and, increasingly, product related energy consumption, the recycling of our products and of their packaging.

Europe. In Europe we are subject to the EU’s (European Union’s) Directive on RoHS (Restriction of Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronics Equipment). This directive restricts the placement into the EU market of electrical and electronic equipment containing certain hazardous materials including lead,

17

mercury, cadmium, chromium, and halogenated flame-retardants. Most Logitech products are covered by the directive and have been modified, if necessary, to be RoHS compliant. Logitech has an active program to ensure compliance with the RoHS directive and continues to source and introduce the use of RoHS compliant components and manufacturing methods in order to comply with the requirements of the directive.

Logitech is also subject to the EU’s ErP (Energy-related Products Directive), which aims to encourage manufacturers and importers to produce products designed to minimize overall environmental impact. Under the directive, manufacturers must ensure that their energy-related products comply with applicable requirements, issue a declaration of conformity and mark the product with the ‘CE’ mark. The directive does not have binding requirements for specific products, but does define conditions and criteria for setting, through subsequent implementing measures, requirements regarding environmentally relevant product characteristics. To date the following implementing measures within the ErP directive are active and applicable to Logitech products:

• 1275/2008: Eco-design requirements for standby and off mode electric power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment.

• 278/2009: Eco-design requirements for no-load condition power consumption and average active efficiency of external power supplies.

Logitech has assessed the applicability of these implementing measures on relevant product lines and has taken steps to ensure that our products meet the requirements. Adoption of the ErP directive will be aligned in all EU member states and conformity will be demonstrated by Logitech in conjunction with current CE conformity marking requirements. Similar requirements exist in the four member states of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland). Such requirements are substantially met by compliance with ErP.

We are also subject to a number of EOL (End of Life) Stewardship directives including the EU’s WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive, the EU Packaging Directive and the EU Battery Directive, which require producers of electrical goods, packaging and batteries to be financially responsible for costs of specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of covered products. Where applicable, we have provided for the estimated costs, which are not material, of managing and recycling historical and future waste equipment, packaging and batteries.

Logitech has also assessed the applicability of the European REACH directive (Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restrictions of Chemicals). This directive does not currently impact Logitech due to our current manufacturing structure and product content. If the directive impacts Logitech in the future, we intend to comply with the applicable requirements.

China. In China we are subject to China’s law on Management Methods on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products (China RoHS). This is substantially similar to the EU RoHS directive and as such, Logitech products are already compliant. China RoHS requires additional labelling of product that will be shipped in China and Logitech has taken steps to help ensure we comply with these requirements.

United States and Canada. In the U.S., we are subject to, among other laws, Appliance Efficiency Regulations adopted via the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The regulations set out standards for the energy consumption performance of products within the scope of the regulations, which includes some of Logitech’s products. The standards apply to appliances sold or offered for sale throughout the U.S., and Logitech has redesigned or changed products to comply with these regulations. We are also subject to California’s Proposition 65, which requires that clear and reasonable warnings be given to consumers who are exposed to certain chemicals deemed by the state of California to be dangerous, such as lead. Logitech is also subject to the requirement as set out by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, specifically Section 1502, which addresses the use of “Conflict Minerals” in the supply chain. We intend to comply with the reporting requirements of this Act on receipt of guidelines to be published by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

18

In Canada, we are subject to laws in various Canadian provinces that impose fees to cover the cost of recycling packaging.

Australia and New Zealand. In Australia and New Zealand, we are subject to the MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standards) regulations. These regulations set out standards for the energy consumption performance of products within the scope of the regulations, which includes some of Logitech’s products. We have taken steps to modify products to ensure they are in compliance with MEPS.

We expect further laws governing product and packaging recycling to be introduced in other jurisdictions, many or most of which could impose fees to cover recycling costs, the cumulative impact of which could be significant. If such legislation is enacted in other countries, Logitech intends to develop compliance programs as necessary. However, until that time, we are not able to estimate any possible impact.

The effects on Logitech’s business of complying with other government regulations are limited to the cost of allocation of the appropriate resources for agency fees and testing as well as the time required to obtain agency approvals. There are also stewardship costs associated with the end of life collection, recycling and recovery of Logitech products, packaging and batteries where Logitech is recognized as the steward and participates in relevant schemes. The costs and schedule requirements are industry requirements and therefore do not represent an undue burden relative to Logitech’s competitive position. As regulations change, we will seek to modify our products or processes to address those changes.

Seasonality

Our retail peripheral product sales are typically seasonal. Sales are generally highest during our third fiscal quarter (October to December), due primarily to the increased demand for our products during the year-end holiday buying season, and to a lesser extent in the fourth fiscal quarter (January to March). Our sales in the first and second quarters can vary significantly as a result of new product introductions and other factors. Accordingly, we believe that year-over-year comparisons are more indicative of variability in our results of operations than current quarter to prior quarter comparisons.

Our video conferencing product sales experience minor seasonality. Sales are generally strongest during our third fiscal quarter due primarily to expiring budgets in the business community. Sales are generally lower during our fourth fiscal quarter, as annual business budgets may not be finalized until late in the quarter.

Materials

We purchase certain products and key components used in our products 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, 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. In addition, 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.

Employees

As of March 31, 2011, we employed approximately 11,000 people. None of Logitech’s U.S. employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Certain foreign countries, such as China, provide by law for employee rights, which include requirements similar to collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our employee relations are good.

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, 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.

• 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.

• 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.

We believe sales of our PC peripherals in our mature markets will decline, and that our future growth will depend on our emerging product categories and sales geographies, and if we do not successfully execute on our growth opportunities, we will not experience the sales and revenue growth we experienced in the past.

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, Australia, and New Zealand, and we believe sales of our PC peripherals in mature markets will decline in fiscal year 2012 and potentially beyond. As a result, we intend to focus more of our personnel and financial resources on growth opportunities in emerging markets, in products for tablets and mobile devices, 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 be the high growth markets of the future for PCs and for our peripherals product lines. We are currently allocating 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

22

opportunities, offset by potential entrenched local competition, higher credit risks, and cultural differences that affect consumer trends in ways which may be substantially different from our current major markets. 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, our business and results of operations could be significantly harmed.

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, we only recently introduced our product line for tablets, and consumer acceptance and demand for peripherals for use with tablets and other mobile computing devices is still uncertain. The increasing popularity of tablets and smart phones might decrease consumer demand for our PC peripherals, which would negatively affect our sales of these products. If we do not successfully innovate and market products designed for tablets and smart phones, if our distributor 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 significantly harmed.

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, provision of greater levels of services and support by us may result in a delay in the timing of revenue recognition. We anticipate that the growth of our LifeSize division will require significant 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, our business and results of operations could be significantly harmed.

Google TV and Connected TVs. We have invested and expect to continue to invest in the development and marketing of our products for the Google TV platform. While we believe the Google TV platform has the potential to provide us with incremental sales over an extended period of time, consumer reaction to and demand for Google TV and our products for it have been less positive than we anticipated. If demand continues to be less positive than we expect, if Google fails to further develop software enhancements for and support of the Google TV platform, if Google TV is not introduced by Google in countries outside of the United States, or if we choose to invest more in marketing, inventory, supplier commitments or other expenses in order to develop and promote our products for Google TV, our revenue expectations for our products for Google TV may not be achieved, the revenue generated could be less than the resources we have invested, and the value of our inventory could decline, which could harm our business and operating results.

In our OEM channel, the slower growth of desktop PCs has adversely affected our sales of OEM mice, which have historically made up the bulk of our OEM sales. Our OEM sales accounted for 9% and 10% of total revenues in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. If the desktop PC market continues to experience slower growth or decline, and if we do not successfully diversify our OEM business, our OEM revenues could be adversely affected.

23

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 response to declining consumer demand 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 heightened interest in the video conferencing market by companies such as Cisco Systems, Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Company, 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 videoconferencing 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, such as our products for Google TV, as well as in future categories we might enter. Many of these companies, such as Microsoft Corporation, Cisco, Sony Corporation, Hewlett-Packard, Polycom, Inc. 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.

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 has impacted our market share in some sales geographies and which could potentially further impact our market share.

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. Our Squeezebox network-based audio systems for digital music compete with systems from several small competitors as well as larger established consumer electronics companies, like Sony and Royal Philips Electronics NV.

24

Video. Our competitors for PC Web cameras include Microsoft, Creative Labs, Philips, and Hewlett-Packard. We are encountering aggressive pricing practices and promotions on a worldwide basis, which have negatively impacted our revenues and margins. The worldwide market for PC webcams has been very competitive, and as a result, pricing practices and promotions by our competitors have become more aggressive.

Gaming. Competitors for our interactive entertainment products include 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. Our products for Google TV compete to some extent with those offered by Sony, Apple Inc. and Roku, Inc., and more broadly, with connectivity devices and peripherals for other connected or smart TV platforms. We expect that the growth in recent years in consumer demand for peripheral devices for home entertainment systems will likely result in increased competition.

Video Conferencing. Our primary competitors in the enterprise video conferencing market are Cisco’s Tandberg subsidiary, Polycom, Inc., Radvision Ltd., Sony and Vidyo, Inc. Some of these companies have longer experience and a larger customer installed base than LifeSize. Cisco and Hewlett-Packard also compete with us for sales of higher-end systems, and have substantially greater financial, sales and marketing, and engineering resources than we do. In addition, Microsoft’s recent offer to acquire Skype Limited, if consummated, has the potential to give Microsoft a large user base for future competitive video chat and video-conferencing products, along with integration potential across Microsoft’s product portfolio. There are also a number of smaller competitors which compete with LifeSize, along with Polycom, Cisco and Hewlett-Packard, for new accounts, OEM relationships, and installations.

The growth of our LifeSize division depends in part on our ability to increase sales to enterprises with installed bases of Cisco and Tandberg equipment, and to enterprises that may purchase their equipment in the future. Cisco is a leading producer of networking, switching and other telecommunications infrastructure products and end-points, such as phones, that are frequently used within enterprises. We believe the ability of our LifeSize products to interoperate with Cisco and Tandberg equipment, and 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. Cisco and Tandberg may be able to improve the functionality of their own videoconferencing equipment to correspond with ongoing enhancements to Cisco’s networking, switching and other telecommunications equipment before we are able to make such improvements, or may restrict the interoperability of their products with ours. This could significantly harm the sales of our LifeSize division. If LifeSize sales declined substantially, the goodwill associated with the acquisition of the division might be determined to be impaired, resulting in a write-down. As a result of such sales decline or goodwill impairment, the growth of our LifeSize division, and the growth of Logitech as a whole, could be significantly harmed.

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 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

25

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 number and types of products we sell, and the geographic markets in which we sell them, and we will endeavor to further expand our product portfolio and sales reach. The growth of our product portfolio and our sales markets has increased the difficulty of accurately forecasting product demand.

We have experienced large differences between our forecasts and actual demand for our products. For example, our expectations for our EMEA region in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 were substantially higher than the actual demand we experienced. 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. For example, a sustained increase in the cost of key commodities used in our products, such as copper and thermoplastic, could negatively impact our gross margins.

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.

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 product portfolio includes current and future products designed for use with third-party platforms or software, such as the Apple iPad, iPod and iPhone, Google TV, Sony PlayStation, and Nintendo Wii. Our business in these categories relies on our access to the platforms of third parties, which can be withdrawn, denied or not be available on terms acceptable to us.

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.

26

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.

Our principal manufacturing operations are located in China, and we utilize third-party contract manufacturers in China, Malaysia, Thailand and India.

Our manufacturing operations in China could be severely impacted 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 severely impacted 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 harmed 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 harm 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 impact our revenues and profitability if we are unable to successfully fulfill customer orders in the quarter.

27

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

We conduct operations in a number of countries, and are investing significantly in growing our sales and marketing activities in China. We may also increase our investments to grow sales in other emerging markets. 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, leading 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 significantly harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

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 significantly harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Claims by others that we infringe their proprietary technology could harm 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 Google TV. 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

28

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.

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. We are currently subject to ongoing audits in various jurisdictions and a material assessment by a governing tax authority could adversely affect our profitability. If our effective income tax rate increases in future periods, our net income could be adversely affected.

Dividends

Under Swiss law, a corporation may only pay dividends upon a vote of its shareholders. This vote typically follows the recommendation of the corporation’s board of directors. Logitech has not paid dividends since 1996 in order to retain earnings for use in the operation and expansion of the business and, in more recent years, to repurchase its shares.

Dividends paid and similar cash or in-kind distributions made by Logitech to a holder of Logitech shares (including dividends or liquidation proceeds and stock dividends) are subject to a Swiss federal anticipatory tax at a rate of 35%. The anticipatory tax must be withheld by Logitech from the gross distribution, and paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

A Swiss resident holder and beneficial owner of Logitech shares may qualify for a full refund of the Swiss anticipatory tax withheld from such dividends. A holder and beneficial owner of Logitech shares who is a non-resident of Switzerland, but a resident of a country that maintains a double tax treaty with Switzerland, may qualify for a full or partial refund of the Swiss anticipatory tax withheld from such dividends by virtue of the provisions of the applicable treaty between Switzerland and the country of residence of the holder and beneficial owner of the Logitech shares.

In accordance with the tax convention between the United States and the Swiss Confederation (“Treaty”), a mechanism is provided whereby a United States resident (as determined under the Treaty), and United States corporations, other than U.S. corporations having a “permanent establishment” or a fixed base, as defined in the Treaty, in Switzerland, generally can obtain a refund of the Swiss anticipatory tax withheld from dividends in respect of Logitech shares, to the extent that 15% of the gross dividend is withheld as final withholding tax (i.e. 20% of the gross dividend may generally be refunded). In specific cases, U.S. companies not having a “permanent establishment” or a fixed base in Switzerland owning at least 10% of Logitech registered shares may receive a refund of the Swiss anticipatory tax withheld from dividends to the extent it exceeds 5% of the gross dividend (i.e. 30% of the gross dividend may be refunded). To get the benefit of a refund, holders must beneficially own Logitech shares at the time such dividend becomes due.

Share Repurchases

In fiscal year 2011, we did not purchase any of our equity securities. 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. As of May 25, 2011, we have not started repurchases under the September 2008 program.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth above in Item 1A “Risk Factors,” and below in Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Overview of Our Company

Logitech is a world leader in products that connect people to digital experiences. 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) and other digital platforms. Our products for the PC include mice, trackballs, keyboards, interactive gaming controllers, multimedia speakers, headsets, webcams, and lapdesks. Our Internet communications products include webcams, headsets, video communications services, and digital video security systems for a home or small business. Our digital music products include speakers, earphones, and custom in-ear monitors. For home entertainment systems, we offer the Harmony line of advanced remote controls, Squeezebox wireless music solutions and, in the United States, a line of Logitech products for the Google TV platform. For gaming consoles, we offer a range of gaming controllers and microphones, as well as other accessories.

Our peripherals research and product management teams are organized along product lines, and are responsible for product strategy, industrial design and development, and technological innovation. Our global marketing and sales organization helps define product opportunities and bring our products to market, and is responsible for building the Logitech brand and consumer awareness of our products. This organization is comprised of retail and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) sales and marketing groups. Our retail sales and marketing activities are organized into three geographic regions: Americas (including North and South America), EMEA (Europe-Middle East-Africa), and Asia Pacific (including, among other countries, China, Taiwan, Japan, India and Australia). Our OEM sales team is a worldwide organization with representatives in each of our three regions.

We sell our peripheral products to a network of distributors and resellers and to 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 85% and 89% of our net sales for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, sales to OEM customers were 9% and 10% of our net sales.

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 webcam and video communications groups. We sell our LifeSize products and services to distributors, value-added resellers, OEMs, and, occasionally, direct enterprise customers. Sales of LifeSize

36

products were 6% and 1% of our net sales in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. We acquired LifeSize on December 11, 2009. Based on financial measurements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 as evaluated by Logitech’s Chief Executive Officer, the LifeSize operating segment does not meet the quantitative threshold for separate disclosure of financial information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Our 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 some retail customers known as house brands, in response to declining consumer demand in both the retail 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.

In addition, we have been expanding the categories of products we sell, and entering new markets, such as the market for enterprise video conferencing. 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 future ones we might enter. Many of these companies have greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we have.

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 living room, and the meeting room, in addition to the PC, 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, 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.

The broadening of our product lines has been primarily organic. However we also seek to acquire, when appropriate, companies that have products, personnel, and technologies that complement our strategic direction. As part of our corporate strategy, we plan to increase investments in and realign resources to focus on certain market adjacencies, geographic markets or new categories, including the China market, tablet peripherals, video communications and UC (unified communications), which is the integration of enterprise-class collaboration and communications solutions such as voice mail, e-mail, chat, presentation sharing and live video meetings.

We continually evaluate our product offerings and our strategic direction in light of current global economic 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 increased 20% compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, based on increased demand in our Americas and Asia Pacific regions, including a strong performance in China, and sales of our LifeSize products, offset in part by unexpectedly weak performance in our EMEA region in the last quarter of the fiscal year.

37

Retail sales in fiscal year 2011 increased 15% and retail units increased 19% compared with fiscal year 2010, with increases in all product families except gaming. Our overall retail average selling price in fiscal year 2011 declined 3% compared with fiscal year 2010, as unit sales of our retail products priced below $40 increased more than other price bands.

Retail sales in our Asia Pacific and AMR regions increased 37% and 28% in fiscal year 2011 compared with fiscal year 2010. Retail sales in our EMEA region decreased 2% in the same period, reflecting a disappointing decline of 17% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. The weakness in the EMEA region in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was due to lower than expected demand and poor execution of pricing and channel programs in Europe.

OEM sales increased 13% in fiscal year 2011 compared with fiscal year 2010, and OEM units sold increased 9%, primarily due to increased keyboard sales.

Sales of LifeSize Communications products were 6% of total net sales in fiscal year 2011. In fiscal year 2010, LifeSize sales were included in our financial results from December 9, 2009, the date of acquisition, to the end of the fiscal year.

Our gross margin for fiscal year 2011 was 35.4% compared with 31.9% in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the a favorable shift in product mix towards products with higher margin, operational efficiencies in our supply chain costs, and lower obsolescence write-downs, somewhat offset by the negative impact of the weaker euro during most of fiscal year 2011. Our gross margin for fiscal year 2011 would have been higher but for weak sales and profitability in our EMEA retail region in the fourth quarter. Operating expenses for fiscal year 2011 were 29.4% of net sales compared with 27.9% in fiscal year 2010. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the addition of LifeSize in December 2009, increased advertising and marketing expenses related to promotional campaigns for Harmony and Logitech Revue, and increased investment in areas of future growth opportunities, such as China.

Net income for the year ended March 31, 2011 was $128.5 million, compared with net income of $65.0 million in fiscal year 2010. The increase in net income was primarily due to increased sales and improved gross margin, somewhat offset by the increase in operating expenses.

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. The increasing popularity of smaller, mobile computing devices such as tablets and smartphones with touch interfaces and the declining popularity of desktop PCs is rapidly changing the PC market. Consumer demand for PCs is decelerating in our traditional, mature markets such as North America, Western and Nordic Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, and we believe sales of our PC peripherals in mature markets will decline in fiscal year 2012 and potentially beyond. We believe there are continued growth opportunities for our PC peripherals outside the more mature markets of the Americas and Europe. We also believe there are significant opportunities to sell products to consumers to help make their tablets and other mobile devices more productive and comfortable. However, we only recently introduced our product line for tablets, and consumer acceptance and demand for peripherals for use with tablets and other mobile computing devices is still uncertain. We believe our future sales growth will be significantly impacted by our ability to grow sales in emerging markets such as China, to grow our LifeSize videoconferencing division, and to develop sales and innovations for our emerging product categories which are not PC-dependent, such as our products for tablets and the Google TV platform.

Our overall corporate strategy for future growth includes increasing our presence and sales in emerging markets, which we anticipate will be the high growth markets of the future as sales growth decelerates in our traditional, mature markets. We are currently investing significantly in growing the number of our sales, marketing and administrative personnel in China, and we expect that China may represent one of our top three

38

countries, by sales, in the future. Emerging markets include potentially high economic growth, offset by potentially entrenched local competition, higher credit risks, and cultural differences that affect consumer trends in ways which may be substantially different from our current major markets.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our video conferencing segment represented 6% of our net sales, and we expect sales from the LifeSize division to grow faster than our overall sales. Our LifeSize division will require significant continuing investments in product development and sales and marketing to stimulate and support future growth.

In October 2010, we introduced our Logitech Revue and related peripherals for the Google TV platform in the United States. Logitech Revue is a companion box for Google TV software that incorporates Logitech’s Harmony remote control technology and enables Google TV software to bring together the Internet and the television. We have invested and expect to continue to invest significant funds in the further development of products for the Google TV platform and other TV-related peripherals. To date the Google TV platform has not met widespread consumer acceptance and our sales of Logitech Revue and related products have been below our expectations. However, we believe that the continued enhancement of the features and functionality of the Google TV platform over time will lead to greater consumer acceptance, and our development of additional home-entertainment and TV-related peripherals will provide us with incremental sales over an extended period of time.

Sales of our OEM mice and keyboards have historically made up the bulk of our OEM sales. OEM sales accounted for 9% and 10% of total revenues during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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.

We continue to evaluate potential acquisitions to enhance the breadth and depth of our expertise in engineering and other functional areas, our technologies and our product offerings.

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 indicate 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 entirely 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.

Although our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, approximately 42% of our sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 were made in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, such as the euro, Chinese renminbi, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. Our product costs are primarily in U.S. dollars and Chinese renminbi. Our operating expenses are incurred in U.S. dollars, Chinese renminbi, euros, Swiss francs and, to a lesser extent, 28 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. In fiscal year 2011 the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on our operating income was not material.

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,

39

customer incentive programs or other pricing programs, which alter our product gross margins. Gross margins for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 were 35.4%, compared with 31.9% in fiscal year 2010, primarily due to the impact of operational efficiencies across our supply chain and a favorable shift in product mix towards products with higher margins. Our gross margin for fiscal year 2011 would have been higher but for the weak profitability in our EMEA retail region in the fourth quarter.

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 fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the income tax provisions were $20.0 million and $18.7 million based on effective income tax rates of 13.5% and 22.3% of pre-tax income. The change in the effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 compared with 2010 was primarily due to discrete tax benefits of $13.5 million from the expiration of statutes of limitations and the closure of income tax audits in certain jurisdictions. We expect future effective income tax rates to fluctuate for similar reasons.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 those estimates. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

We believe the following accounting estimates are most critical to our business operations and to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, and reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Accruals for Customer Programs

We record accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. The estimated cost of these programs is accrued in the period the Company sells the product or commits to the program as a reduction of revenue or as an operating expense, if we receive a separately identifiable benefit from the customer and can reasonably estimate the fair value of that benefit. Significant management judgment and estimates must be used to determine the cost of these programs in any accounting period.

Returns. The Company grants limited rights to return product. Return rights vary by customer, and range from just the right to return defective product to stock rotation rights limited to a percentage approved by management. Estimates of expected future product returns are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical return trends by customer and by product, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information. Return trends are influenced by product life cycle status, new product introductions, market

40

acceptance of products, sales levels, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality, product quality issues, competitive pressures, operational policies and procedures and other factors. Return rates can fluctuate over time, but are sufficiently predictable to allow us to estimate expected future product returns.

Cooperative Marketing Arrangements. We enter into customer marketing programs with many of our distribution and retail customers, and with certain indirect partners, allowing customers to receive a credit equal to a set percentage of their purchases of the Company’s products, or a fixed dollar credit for various marketing programs. The objective of these programs is to encourage advertising and promotional events to increase sales of our products. Accruals for these marketing programs are recorded at the time of sale, or time of commitment, based on negotiated terms, historical experience and inventory levels in the channel.

Customer Incentive Programs. Customer incentive programs include performance-based incentives and consumer rebates. We offer performance-based incentives to our distribution customers, retail customers and indirect partners based on pre-determined performance criteria. Allowances for performance-based incentives are recognized as a reduction of the sale price at the time of sale. Estimates of required allowances are determined based on negotiated terms, consideration of historical experience, anticipated volume of future purchases, and inventory levels in the channel. Consumer rebates are offered from time to time at the Company’s discretion for the primary benefit of end-users. Estimated costs of consumer rebates and similar incentives are recorded at the time the incentive is offered, based on the specific terms and conditions. Certain incentive programs, including consumer rebates, require management to estimate the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive based on historical experience and the specific terms and conditions of particular programs.

Pricing Programs. We have agreements with certain of our customers that contain terms allowing price protection credits to be issued in the event of a subsequent price reduction. At management’s discretion, we also offer special pricing discounts to certain customers. Special pricing discounts are usually offered only for limited time periods or for sales of selected products to specific indirect partners. Our decision to make price reductions is influenced by product life cycle stage, market acceptance of products, the competitive environment, new product introductions and other factors. Estimates of expected future pricing actions are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical pricing actions by customer and by product, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information, such as stage of product life-cycle.

We regularly evaluate the adequacy of our accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. Future market conditions and product transitions may require the Company to take action to increase such programs. In addition, when the variables used to estimate these costs change, or if actual costs differ significantly from the estimates, we would be required to record incremental reductions to revenue or increase operating expenses. If, at any future time, the Company becomes unable to reasonably estimate these costs, recognition of revenue might be deferred until products are sold to end-users, which would adversely impact revenue in the period of transition.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 consisted of bank time deposits, marketable securities related to a management deferred compensation plan, and auction rate securities collateralized by residential and commercial mortgages. The bank time deposits are classified as cash equivalents, and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The marketable securities are classified as non-current trading investments, and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The auction rate securities are classified as non-current available-for-sale assets, and are recorded at estimated fair value, 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 are discounted at the rate of return required by investors, based on the characteristics of each security as calculated

41

from the indices. The markets for the auction rate securities which the Company holds as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 have failed since August 2007 and are not expected to resume in the foreseeable future, if at all. Four of the securities with par value of $32.2 million and estimated fair value of $0.9 million have experienced events of default, and two of the these four securities have declared acceleration.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We sell our products through a worldwide network of distributors, retailers, value-added resellers, business enterprises and OEM customers. Logitech generally does not require any collateral from its customers. However, we seek to control our credit risk through ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition.

We regularly evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable and maintain allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowances are based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts, including their credit worthiness and financial condition, as well as the Company’s historical experience with bad debts and customer deductions, receivables aging, current economic trends and geographic or country-specific risks and the financial condition of our distribution channel. If management determines that a customer’s accounts receivable balance is uncollectible, recognition of revenue from that customer is deferred until collectibility is reasonably assured.

As of March 31, 2011, one customer represented 13% of total accounts receivable. The customers comprising the ten highest outstanding trade receivable balances accounted for approximately 56% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011. A deterioration of a significant customer’s financial condition could cause actual write-offs to be materially different from the estimated allowance. If any of these customers’ receivable balances should be deemed uncollectible or if actual write-offs are higher than historical experience, we would have to make adjustments to our allowance for doubtful accounts, which could result in an increase in the Company’s operating expenses.

Inventory Valuation

The Company must order components for its products and build inventory in advance of customer orders. Further, our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in demand.

We record inventories at the lower of cost or market value and record write-downs of inventories which are obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or market value. A review of inventory is performed each fiscal quarter that considers factors including the marketability and product life cycle stage, product development plans, component cost trends, demand forecasts and current sales levels. We identify inventory exposures by comparing inventory on hand, in the channel and on order to historical and forecasted sales over six month periods. Inventory on hand which is not expected to be sold or utilized based on review of forecasted sales and utilization is considered excess, and we recognize the write-off in cost of sales at the time of such determination. The write-off is determined by comparison of the current replacement cost with the estimated selling price less any costs of completion and disposal (net realizable value) and the net realizable value less an allowance for normal profit. At the time of loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances would not result in an increase in the cost basis. If there were an abrupt and substantial decline in demand for Logitech’s products or an unanticipated change in technological or customer requirements, we may be required to record additional write-downs which could adversely affect gross margins in the period when the write-downs are recorded.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense includes compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, for awards granted after April 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value. The grant date fair value for stock options and stock purchase rights is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The grant

42

date fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which vest upon meeting certain market conditions is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation method. The grant date fair value of time-based RSUs is calculated based on the share market price on the date of grant. For stock options and restricted stock assumed by Logitech when LifeSize was acquired, the grant date used to estimate fair value is deemed to be December 11, 2009, the date of acquisition. Compensation expense for awards granted or assumed after April 1, 2006 is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award. For share-based compensation awards granted prior to but not yet vested as of April 1, 2006, share-based compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model reduced for estimated forfeitures, and recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. See Note 12-Employee Benefit Plans in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of share-based compensation.

Our estimates of share-based compensation expense require a number of complex and subjective assumptions including our stock price volatility, employee exercise patterns, future forfeitures, dividend yield, related tax effects and the selection of an appropriate fair value model. We estimate expected share price volatility based on historical volatility using daily prices over the term of past options, RSUs or purchase offerings, as we consider historical share price volatility as most representative of future volatility. We estimate expected life based on historical settlement rates, which we believe are most representative of future exercise and post-vesting termination behaviors. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures, and we record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and future expectations of dividend payouts.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based compensation expense and related tax effects represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, or if we decide to use a different valuation model, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future from what we have recorded in the current period, which could materially affect our results of operations.

Accounting for Income 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 the 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. As a result of these considerations, we must estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet.

We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, considering all available evidence such as historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax strategies. We believe it is more likely than not such assets will be realized; however, ultimate realization could be negatively impacted by market conditions and other variables not known or anticipated at this time. When we determine that we are not able to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets, an adjustment is charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized, the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed.

We make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters surrounding the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax benefits. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than our estimates, or the related

43

statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, we will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on our income tax provision and our results of operations.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets, such as investments, property, plant and equipment, and goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amount of these assets might not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could require us to review an asset for impairment include the following:

• significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;

• significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business;

• significant negative industry or economic trends;

• significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period; and

• market capitalization relative to net book value.

Recoverability of investments, property, plant and equipment, and other intangible assets is measured by comparing the projected undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate with its carrying amount. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable from our estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. 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. We continue to maintain discrete financial information for LifeSize, and accordingly determine impairment for the goodwill acquired at the entity level. All other acquired goodwill is evaluated for impairment at a total enterprise level. Based on the impairment analyses performed in fiscal year 2011, the fair value of each of our operating segments exceeded the carrying value of the segment by more than 50% of the carrying value.

In determining fair value, we consider various factors including estimates of future market growth and trends, forecasted revenue and costs, expected periods over which our assets will be utilized, and other variables. We calculate the Company’s fair value based on the present value of projected cash flows using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate to the risk inherent in the Company’s current business model. To date, we have not recognized any impairment of goodwill. Logitech bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued ASU (Accounting Standards Update) 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, ASU 2010-28 requires performance of an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of impairment. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2010. Logitech will adopt ASU 2009-28 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The impact of adopting ASU 2010-28 will not be known until the Company performs its evaluations of goodwill impairment.

44

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. ASU 2010-29 specifies that, for material business combinations when comparative financial statements are presented, revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-09 also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-09 is effective prospectively for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. We will adopt this guidance for acquisitions beginning in fiscal year 2012.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales by channel for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended March 31,						Change %
							2011  vs 2010			2010  vs 2009
	2011		2010		2009
Retail	$	2,005,210	$	1,745,152	$	1,887,343		15	%		(8	%)
OEM		223,775		198,364		321,489		13	%		(38	%)
LifeSize		133,901		23,232		—		476	%		—
Total net sales	$	2,362,886	$	1,966,748	$	2,208,832		20	%		(11	%)

Our retail sales in fiscal year 2011 increased over the preceding fiscal year due to increased consumer demand. The decrease in retail sales in fiscal year 2010 compared with 2009 reflected the impact of the global economic downturn, which began in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 and continued through the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. Retail units sold increased 19% in fiscal year 2011 and decreased 2% in fiscal year 2010 compared with the preceding fiscal years. Our overall retail average selling price declined 3% in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 compared with the preceding fiscal years. Products priced below $40 represented approximately 56%, 57% and 50% of retail sales in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, while products priced above $100 represented 18% of retail sales in fiscal year 2011, 15% in fiscal year 2010 and 16% in fiscal year 2009. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in fiscal years 2011 and 2010, our constant dollar retail sales increase would have been 18%. Foreign currency exchange rates did not affect the retail sales decrease in fiscal year 2010 compared with fiscal year 2009.

OEM units sold increased 9% in fiscal year 2011 and decreased 25% during fiscal year 2010 compared with the preceding fiscal years. Foreign currency exchange rates did not significantly affect OEM sales. The OEM sales increase in fiscal year 2011 was the result of strong keyboard and headset sales. Sales of OEM mice were essentially flat in fiscal year 2011 compared with 2010. The decline in OEM sales for fiscal year 2010 compared with 2009 was primarily attributable to our console microphones, which sold well in fiscal year 2008 and the first three quarters of fiscal year 2009.

LifeSize net sales in fiscal year 2011 represent sales for a complete fiscal year, whereas in fiscal year 2010, LifeSize net sales represent sales for the period from December 11, 2009, the date of acquisition, to the end of the fiscal year. Foreign currency exchange rates did not affect LifeSize sales. Comparing the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 with the same period in fiscal year 2010, LifeSize net sales increased 88%. Unit shipments and revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 increased in comparison with the preceding year and the preceding quarter.

Approximately 42%, 49% and 55% of the Company’s total net sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in

45

fiscal years 2011 and 2010, our constant dollar sales increase would have been 22%. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, our constant dollar sales decrease would have been 12%.

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 change in retail sales by region and the change in constant dollar retail sales if foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in fiscal year 2011 compared with fiscal year 2010, and fiscal year 2010 compared with fiscal year 2009:

	Year Ended March 31,
	2011 vs 2010						2010 vs 2009
	USD Change			Constant Dollar Change			USD Change			Constant Dollar Change
Asia Pacific		37	%		33	%		(16	%)		(17	%)
Americas		28	%		28	%		1	%		2	%
EMEA		(2	%)		4	%		(11	%)		(12	%)
Total retail sales		15	%		18	%		(8	%)		(8	%)

Retail sales in the Asia Pacific region during fiscal year 2011 increased in all product families compared with fiscal year 2010, based on strong sales in China. We have invested significantly in growing the number of our sales and marketing and administrative personnel in China, and we expect that China will represent one of our top three countries, by sales, in the future. During fiscal year 2010, retail sales declined in all product families compared with 2009, as our channel partners completed their alignment of inventory levels with consumer demand. Total retail units sold in the Asia Pacific region increased 53% in fiscal year 2011 and decreased 10% in fiscal year 2010 compared with the preceding years.

In the Americas region, retail sales for fiscal year 2011 increased in all product families compared with the preceding year. Digital Home product line sales in particular benefitted from the launch of Logitech Revue in October 2010. Americas region retail sales in fiscal year 2010 were essentially flat compared with 2009, reflecting modest economic stability in the region, although sales of pointing devices, keyboards and desktops, and remotes increased. Total retail units sold in the Americas region increased 14% in fiscal year 2011 and 7% in fiscal year 2010 over the preceding fiscal years.

Retail sales in the EMEA region decreased in most product families in fiscal year 2011 compared with fiscal year 2010. During fiscal year 2010 in the EMEA region, all product families except audio decreased in retail sales compared with fiscal year 2009, reflecting the effects of the global economic downturn. Retail units sold increased 9% in fiscal year 2011 and declined 5% in fiscal year 2010 compared with the prior year. The retail sales decline in the EMEA region in fiscal year 2011 was the result of the uneven economic recovery, particularly in western Europe, as well as demand weakness in the fourth quarter and the implementation of regional pricing and channel management programs that negatively impacted profitability without generating the intended incremental demand. The demand decline resulted in higher inventory levels for our products at retailers as of March 31, 2011, which also contributed to higher inventory levels with our distribution partners. In addition, we had implemented several pricing and channel management programs specific to the EMEA region

46

that were intended to increase our visibility into channel and consumer trends and to increase satisfaction among our channel partners. However the implementation of these programs created unintended consequences, including higher-than-planned promotional spending on the sales that occurred, frustrated customers, and reduced order flow due to the perceived increase in complexity.

Logitech’s Pointing Devices product family includes our mice, trackballs and other pointing devices. Keyboards and desktops (mouse and keyboard combined) include cordless and corded keyboards and desktops. Audio includes speakers and headset products for the PC, the home, and mobile entertainment platforms, and wireless music systems. Our video product family is comprised of PC webcams and Alert video security systems. Gaming includes console and PC gaming peripherals. The Digital Home product family combines our advanced Harmony Remote controls, Logitech Revue with Google TV, and peripherals associated with the Google TV platform. Net sales reflect accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs.

Retail Pointing Devices

Retail unit sales of our pointing devices increased 27% in fiscal year 2011 and decreased 2% in fiscal year 2010 compared with the preceding fiscal years. The stronger growth in units reflects the success of our value-priced offerings. Sales in dollars increased 57% in our Asia Pacific region and 21% in our Americas region in fiscal year 2011, with no growth in our EMEA region. In fiscal year 2010, sales in dollars decreased 20% in our Asia Pacific region and 14% in our EMEA region, and increased 4% in our AMR region. Sales of cordless mice increased 27% in fiscal year 2011 and decreased 3% in fiscal year 2010. Unit sales of cordless mice grew 52% in fiscal year 2011 and 15% in fiscal year 2010, driven by strong sales of our value-priced cordless notebook mice, including the Wireless Mouse M215 and the Wireless Mouse M310 in 2011, and the Performance Mouse MX and the Anywhere Mouse MX in 2010. Sales of corded mice decreased 7% in fiscal year 2011 compared with 2010, with units increasing 6%. In fiscal year 2010, sales of corded mice declined 19% and units sold decreased 11% compared with fiscal year 2009.

Retail Keyboards and Desktops

Retail unit sales of keyboards and desktops increased 23% during fiscal year 2011 and decreased 11% during fiscal year 2010, compared with the preceding fiscal years. Sales in dollars increased 52% in our Asia Pacific region and 35% in our Americas region in fiscal year 2011, but declined 6% in our EMEA region. In fiscal year 2010, sales in dollars decreased 22% in our Asia Pacific Region and 20% in our EMEA region, and increased 1% in our AMR region. Sales of cordless keyboards and desktops increased 28% and units increased

47

39% in fiscal year 2011 compared with 2010, with strong sales of the Wireless Keyboard K250 and the Wireless Desktop MK320. Sales of cordless keyboards and desktops in fiscal year 2010 decreased 20% and units decreased 5% compared with 2009, with strong sales of the MK300 wireless desktop and the EX 100 cordless desktop more than offset by declines in sales of the EX110 cordless desktop. Sales of corded keyboards and desktops increased 4% in dollars and 15% in units in fiscal year 2011. In fiscal year 2010, sales of corded keyboards and desktops decreased 11%, with a 17% decline in units.

Retail Audio

Retail audio unit sales increased 2% in fiscal year 2011 and 11% in fiscal year 2010 compared with the preceding fiscal years. Sales in dollars increased 23% and 7% in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions, and decreased 10% in the EMEA region in fiscal year 2011 compared with 2010. In fiscal year 2010 compared with 2009, sales in dollars remained flat in our Americas region, increased 5% in our EMEA region, and declined 3% in our Asia Pacific region. PC speaker sales decreased 2% in dollars, but increased 2% in units in fiscal year 2011, following a decrease of 7% in dollars and an increase of 7% in units in fiscal year 2010. Sales of our iPod speakers decreased 11% in dollars and 6% in units in fiscal year 2011 compared with increases of 1% and 8% in fiscal year 2010. Our strongest seller in fiscal 2011 was our Rechargeable Speaker S715i. In fiscal year 2010, the PureFi Anywhere 2 speakers, the S315i Rechargeable Speaker and the S215i Portable Speaker made positive contributions to sales. PC headset sales grew 12% in fiscal year 2011 and 23% in fiscal year 2010, with units increasing 4% and 22%. Unit sales of Ultimate Ears products increased 36% and 35% in fiscal years 2011 and 2010.

Retail Video

Video units sold increased 20% and 2% in fiscal years 2011 and 2010. The 12% sales increase in fiscal year 2011 was due in part to our video security products, which were negatively affected in fiscal year 2010 by the product transition to our new Logitech Alert HD digital video security system, which was launched in August 2010. Sales in dollars increased 17%, 13% and 9% in the Asia Pacific, Americas and EMEA regions in fiscal year 2011 compared with 2010. In fiscal year 2010 compared with 2009, sales in dollars decreased 8%, 5% and 12% in the Asia Pacific, Americas and EMEA regions.

Retail Gaming

Retail unit sales of our gaming peripherals decreased 27% in fiscal year 2011, compared with a decrease of 26% in fiscal year 2010. The decline in unit and dollar sales is partially attributable to a more targeted portfolio of gaming products. The EMEA region experienced an 11% decline in sales dollars in fiscal year 2011, while the Asia Pacific and Americas regions grew 15% and 6%. In fiscal year 2010, sales in dollars declined 18%, 10% and 13% in the EMEA, Asia Pacific and Americas regions. PC gaming sales decreased 12% in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 compared with the preceding fiscal years. Unit sales of PC gaming peripherals decreased 20% and 25% in fiscal years 2011 and 2010. Console gaming sales increased 21% in fiscal year 2011, primarily due to sales of the Logitech Driving Force GT racing wheel for PlayStation 3, and declined 27% in fiscal year 2010, with unit declines of 37% and 27%.

Retail Digital Home

The growth in Digital Home sales in fiscal year 2011 was due to strong retail remote sales in the first three fiscal quarters and the launch of Logitech Revue in October 2010. Retail remote sales increased 46% in fiscal year 2011, with strong growth in all regions for fiscal year 2011 as a whole, driven by advertising and promotions. However, sales were depressed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 by the decline in the EMEA region, where remote control sales decreased by 31% over the same period in the preceding fiscal year. In fiscal year 2010, retail remote sales decreased 5%. Unit sales increased 79% in fiscal year 2011, after decreasing 14%

48

in fiscal year 2010. Our lower-priced Harmony One and the Harmony 650 remote controls sold well in fiscal year 2011, while the Harmony One, Harmony 900 and Harmony 700 Advanced Universal Remote generated the most sales in fiscal year 2010. Sales of Logitech Revue and associated peripherals for Google TV were $26.7 million in fiscal year 2011.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended March 31,									Change %
										2011  vs 2010			2010  vs 2009
	2011			2010			2009
Net sales	$	2,362,886		$	1,966,748		$	2,208,832			20	%		(11	%)
Cost of goods sold		1,526,380			1,339,852			1,517,606			14	%		(12	%)
Gross profit	$	836,506		$	626,896		$	691,226			33	%		(9	%)
Gross margin		35.4	%		31.9	%		31.3	%

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 the gross margin percentage in fiscal years 2011 over 2010 and 2009 was primarily related to a favorable shift in retail product mix towards products with higher margins, operational efficiencies in our supply chain costs, and lower obsolescence write-downs, somewhat offset by the negative impact of the weaker euro during most of fiscal year 2011.

As examples of product mix shifts, control devices and remote controls, which have a higher gross margin than other retail product lines, represented a larger proportion of net sales in fiscal year 2011 than in fiscal year 2010. LifeSize product sales were also a larger proportion of total net sales in fiscal year 2011, which also contributed to the higher gross margin. Examples of supply chain efficiencies achieved include greater use of ocean rather than air shipments and discontinuing products with low sales and high promotional requirements.

The gross margin percentage in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 declined significantly primarily due to the negative impact of the EMEA regional pricing and promotional programs on EMEA net sales in the quarter.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended March 31,									Change %
										2011  vs 2010			2010  vs 2009

% of net sales		29.4	%		27.9	%		26.3	%

The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the addition of LifeSize expenses beginning in December 2009, increased advertising and marketing expenses related to promotional campaigns for Harmony and Logitech Revue, and increased investment in areas which we believe represent future growth opportunities. Fiscal year 2010 included $6.6 million in transactions costs related to the acquisition of LifeSize and $1.8 million in restructuring charges associated with the restructuring plan initiated in January 2009. We plan to continue implementing efficiencies in our current operations that are intended to limit future growth in operating expenses below the growth rate in revenues, by restraining or reducing non-critical expenses while investing in activities that will sustain and drive revenue growth.

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 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 expenses increased in fiscal year 2011 compared with fiscal year 2010 due to the addition of LifeSize sales and marketing personnel in December 2009, variable demand generation activities, and increased personnel costs. In fiscal year 2011, we invested approximately $32 million in variable demand generation activities focused on Harmony remotes and Logitech Revue. Non-Lifesize personnel costs grew due to a 14% increase in headcount to support the return to sales growth and expansion of sales efforts in China, and normal salary and bonus increases related to our improved profitability compared with the preceding fiscal year.

The decline in marketing and selling expenses in fiscal year 2010 compared with fiscal year 2009 resulted primarily from lower spending in marketing development funds, travel expenses and consulting fees. Personnel costs increased in fiscal year 2010 over the preceding fiscal year partially due to the addition of LifeSize sales and marketing personnel, and partially relating to a comparative fiscal year in which discretionary personnel costs were reduced due to the economic downturn. Bad debt expense declined significantly in fiscal year 2010 as economic conditions stabilized, compared with fiscal year 2009, when customers were experiencing increased financial difficulties related to the economic downturn.

Foreign currency exchange rates had no impact on marketing and selling expenses for fiscal years 2011 and 2010. The percentage changes in constant dollar marketing and selling expenses for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 compared with the preceding years would be the same as the percentage changes in U.S. dollars.

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.

The increase in research and development expense for fiscal year 2011 compared with 2010 was due to the addition of LifeSize personnel and expenses. Research and development expenses in our peripherals business remained largely flat year over year, as expenditures were re-aligned from mature product lines and multiple similar products to product lines with expected future growth potential.

50

The increase in research and development expenses in fiscal year 2010 resulted from the addition of research and development costs of LifeSize, which was acquired in fiscal year 2010. Personnel costs excluding LifeSize increased in fiscal year 2010 in comparison with fiscal year 2009, when discretionary personnel costs were reduced.

If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in fiscal years 2011 and 2010, the change in constant dollar research and development expense would have been 13%. The percentage change in constant dollar research and development expense for fiscal year 2010 compared with 2009 would be the same as the change in U.S. dollars.

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 excluding LifeSize increased moderately in fiscal year 2011 compared with 2010, primarily due to increased personnel expenses resulting from normal salary and bonus increases related to our improved profitability compared with the preceding fiscal year.

General and administrative expense declined in fiscal year 2010, primarily due to a decrease of 5% in personnel costs, as headcount was reduced. The headcount reduction was offset by the addition of LifeSize personnel in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Decreases in travel and infrastructure expenses in fiscal year 2010 were partially offset by $6.6 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition of LifeSize.

If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in fiscal years 2011 and 2010, the percentage change in constant dollar general and administrative expenses would be the same as the percentage change in U.S. dollars. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the percentage decrease in constant dollar general and administrative expense for fiscal year 2010 would have been 7%.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges represent the costs associated with a restructuring plan initiated in January 2009, and consist of termination benefits to approximately 500 employees, pension plan curtailment and settlement costs, exit costs associated with the closure of existing facilities, and write-downs of fixed assets that were not placed in service due to the abandonment of the related projects. The restructuring was completed as of March 31, 2010.

Interest Income, Net

Interest income and expense for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended March 31,									Change %
										2010  vs 2009			2009  vs 2008
	2011			2010			2009
Interest income	$	2,343		$	2,406		$	8,648			(3	%)		(72	%)

Interest income, net	$	2,316		$	2,120		$	8,628			9	%		(75	%)

Interest income was slightly lower in fiscal year 2011 due to lower invested balances offset by slightly higher interest rates. In fiscal year 2010 compared with 2009, both invested balances and interest rates were significantly lower.

Other Income, Net

Other income and expense for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

52

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. The gains on currency sales in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were largely offset by losses on foreign exchange forward contracts intended to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency receivables or payables. The higher foreign exchange gains during fiscal year 2009 were due to gains on sales of euros for U.S. dollars. We do not speculate in currency positions, but we are alert to opportunities to maximize foreign exchange gains.

Insurance investment income or loss represents changes in the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance contracts related to a management deferred compensation plan offered by one of our subsidiaries. In December 2010, the Company surrendered the life insurance contracts for cash, and invested the proceeds in a Company-selected portfolio of mutual funds. The trading investment income represents the earnings and realized and unrealized gains on the mutual funds portfolio.

The gain on sale of building relates to the sale of our building in Romanel, Switzerland.

We recorded write-downs of $0.04 million, $0.6 million and $2.7 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 related to other-than-temporary declines in the estimated fair value of our investment securities.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes and effective income tax rate for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended March 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Provision for income taxes	$	19,988		$	18,666		$	19,761
Effective income tax rate		13.5	%		22.3	%		15.6	%

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.

The change in the effective income tax rate to 13.5% in fiscal year 2011 compared with 22.3% in fiscal year 2010 is due to discrete tax benefits of $13.5 million from the expiration of statutes of limitations and the closure of income tax audits in certain jurisdictions. The increase in the effective income tax rate to 22.3% in fiscal year 2010 compared with 15.6% in fiscal year 2009 is primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

On December 17, 2010, the enactment in the U.S. of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 extended retroactively through the end of calendar year 2011 the U.S. federal research and development tax credit which had expired on December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the Company’s income tax provision for fiscal year 2011 includes a tax benefit of $2.2 million related to the U.S. federal research tax credit.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and related accrued interest and penalties due to uncertain tax positions was $138.1 million and $125.2 million, of which $118.2 million and $101.4 million would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized. The increase in income tax liability associated with uncertain tax positions in fiscal year 2011 was offset by expiration of statutes of limitations and the closure of income tax audits in certain jurisdictions.

53

The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had approximately $8.0 million and $12.5 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 the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service expanded its examination of the Company’s U.S. subsidiary to include fiscal years 2008 and 2009 in addition to fiscal years 2006 and 2007. At this time it is not possible to estimate the potential impact that the examination may have on income tax expense. The Company is also under examination in other tax jurisdictions. Although the timing of the resolution or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Balances, Available Borrowings, and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2011, our working capital was $605.7 million, compared with $353.4 million at March 31, 2010. The increase in working capital over the prior year was due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories related to the increase in sales in fiscal year 2011, and a higher comparative cash balance. In fiscal year 2010, we paid cash of $378.6 million for the acquisition of LifeSize.

During fiscal year 2011, operating activities provided net cash of $156.6 million, generated from operations and increases in accounts payable. We used $39.9 million in investing activities, including $43.0 million for investments in tooling, computer hardware and software, and equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $46.4 million, primarily from the proceeds of employee stock purchases and the exercise of stock options.

At March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $477.9 million, comprised of bank demand deposits and short-term time deposits. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which is equivalent to fair value.

The Company has credit lines with several European and Asian banks totaling $117.1 million as of March 31, 2011. 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 March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit. There are no financial covenants under these facilities.

We provide various third parties with irrevocable letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure our obligations to pay or perform pursuant to the requirements of an underlying agreement or the provision of goods and services. These standby letters of credit are cancelable only at the option of the beneficiary who is authorized to draw drafts on the issuing bank up to the face amount of the standby letter of credit in accordance with its terms. At March 31, 2011, we had $0.7 million of letters of credit in place, of which $0.1 million was outstanding. These letters of credit relate primarily to equipment purchases by a subsidiary in China, and expire between April and December 2011.

The Company has financed its operating and capital requirements primarily through cash flow from operations and, to a lesser extent, from capital markets and bank borrowings. Our normal short-term liquidity and long-term capital resource requirements are provided from three sources: cash flow generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and borrowings, as needed, under our credit facilities.

Based upon our available cash balances and credit lines, and the trend of our historical cash flow generation, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund operations for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

The following table presents selected financial information and statistics for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 (dollars in thousands):

	Year Ended March 31,
	2011		2010		2009
Accounts receivable, net	$	258,294	$	195,247	$	213,929
Inventories	$	280,814	$	219,593	$	233,467
Working capital	$	605,666	$	353,370	$	709,382
Days sales in accounts receivable (DSO) (1)		42 days		33 days		47 days
Inventory turnover (ITO) (2)		5.2x		6.1x		5.2x
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	156,551	$	365,259	$	200,587

⁽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 fiscal year 2011, the Company’s operating activities generated net cash of $156.6 million, compared with $365.3 million in 2010 and $200.6 million in 2009. The decrease in 2011 was the result of higher accounts receivable and inventory balances, due to increased sales, higher DSO, and inventory of the new Logitech Revue product, and smaller increases than fiscal year 2010 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was higher in 2010 primarily due to targeted management of working capital, reflected in the lower DSO and higher ITO.

DSO for fiscal year 2011 increased by 9 days compared with fiscal year 2010 and decreased by 5 days over fiscal year 2009. The increase related to a decline in shipment linearity and slight changes in payment terms, as well as changes in the types of incentive promotions offered, which resulted in classification of the related accruals as a liability rather than a deduction from accounts receivable. The decrease in fiscal year 2010 over 2009 resulted from improved cash collections and increased order and shipment linearity.

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 for fiscal year 2011 decreased compared with 2010, and was comparable with fiscal year 2009. Inventory turns decreased between fiscal years 2011 and 2010 primarily due to higher inventory levels in comparison with sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. We also increased inventory levels to improve our flexibility in servicing customers’ needs in fiscal year 2012 and added approximately $25 million of Logitech Revue inventory. The improvement in ITO from fiscal year 2009 to 2010 was driven by the increased in sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared with the same period in 2009.

Net cash used in investing activities	$	(39,861	)	$	(427,830	)	$	(113,120	)

Our purchases of property, plant and equipment during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were principally for computer hardware and software purchases, machinery and equipment and normal expenditures for tooling. Purchasing activity was lower in fiscal years 2011 and 2010 compared with 2009 as we focused our cash outlays on critical capital needs.

In December 2010, we surrendered the Company-owned life insurance contracts held in a Rabbi Trust representing investments of a management deferred compensation plan offered by one of the Company’s subsidiaries. We invested the proceeds of $11.3 million from the life insurance contracts, in addition to $0.8 million in cash held by the Rabbi Trust, investment earnings and employee contributions, in a Company-selected portfolio of mutual funds, which are also held in the Rabbi Trust. The purchases and sales of trading investments represent mutual fund activity directed by plan participants within the confines of the Rabbi Trust. The proceeds from cash surrender of life insurance policies in fiscal year 2010 and the premiums paid on life insurance in fiscal years 2011 and 2009 related to the life insurance contracts formerly held by the Company.

On March 31, 2011, we sold our equity interest in certain 3Dconnexion subsidiaries and the related intellectual property rights for $9.1 million, not including cash retained. The loss resulting from the sale was not material.

In fiscal year 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Paradial AS for $7.3 million in a business combination. In fiscal year 2010, we acquired LifeSize Communications for $378.6 million, net of cash acquired of $3.7 million, and certain assets of TV Compass for $10 million. In fiscal year 2009, we acquired the Ultimate Ears companies for $32.3 million, net of cash acquired of $0.2 million, including transaction costs of $0.5 million and excluding a $1.8 million holdback provision which was recorded as a liability in the consolidated financial statements. We also acquired SightSpeed in fiscal year 2009 for $30.9 million in cash including transaction costs of $0.8 million. In addition, we paid $2.0 million for a pre-acquisition contingency recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 related to our WiLife acquisition and $0.4 million for patent rights acquired pursuant to a patent settlement agreement.

Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment in fiscal year 2011 were related to the sale of our building in Romanel, Switzerland.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

The following tables present information on our cash flows from financing activities, including information on our share repurchases during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands except per share amounts):

	Year Ended March 31,
	2011		2010			2009
Proceeds from sale of shares upon exercise of options and purchase rights	$	42,969	$	28,917		$	31,119
Excess tax benefits from share-based compensation		3,455		2,814			6,592
Purchases of treasury shares		—		(126,301	)		(78,870	)
Repayments of debt		—		(13,630	)		—
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	46,424	$	(108,200	)	$	(41,159	)

	Year Ended March 31,
	2011		2010		2009
Number of shares repurchased		—		7,425		2,803
Value of shares repurchased	$	—	$	126,301	$	78,870
Average price per share	$	—	$	17.01	$	28.14

In fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, we received proceeds from the sale of 4.0 million, 3.1 million and 3.1 million shares upon exercise of employee stock options and share purchases under our stock plans. In addition, cash was provided in each of those fiscal years from tax benefits on the exercise of share-based payment awards.

During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, we repurchased 7.4 million and 2.8 million shares for $126.3 million and $78.9 million under our buyback program announced in June 2007. The June 2007 buyback program, which was completed in March 2010, authorized the purchase of up to $250.0 million in Logitech shares. No share repurchases were made in fiscal year 2011 under the share buyback program approved by our Board of Directors in September 2008, which authorizes the Company to invest up to $250 million to purchase its own shares.

In fiscal year 2010, we repaid $13.6 million of short and long-term debt assumed when we acquired LifeSize Communications.

Cash Outlook

We have financed our operations and capital requirements primarily through cash flow from operations and, to a lesser extent, capital markets and bank borrowings. Our working capital requirements and capital expenditures may increase to support future expansion of Logitech operations. Future acquisitions or expansion of our operations may be significant and may also require the use of cash. In addition, uncertainty regarding future global economic conditions could adversely affect our operations and require the use of cash.

In connection with the acquisition of LifeSize Communications, Inc. in December 2009, Logitech agreed to establish a cash retention and incentive plan for certain LifeSize employees, linked to the achievement of LifeSize performance targets. The duration of the plan’s performance period is two years, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The total available cash incentive is $9.0 million over the two year performance period. Approximately $5.6 million is accrued as of March 31, 2011.

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. As of May 24, 2011, we have not made any repurchases under the September 2008 program.

57

On October 12, 2010, the legislature of the U.S. state of California enacted a fiscal budget bill which extended the suspension of net operating losses for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2008 through January 1, 2012. The legislation also affects the methodology used by corporate taxpayers to apportion income to California and modifies the large corporate underpayment penalty effective for our fiscal years ending March 31, 2011 and 2012. Although the Company has significant operations in California, we believe these changes will not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service expanded its examination of the Company’s U.S. subsidiary to include fiscal years 2008 and 2009 in addition to fiscal years 2006 and 2007. The Company is also under examination in other tax jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2011, we are not able to estimate the potential future liability, if any, which may result from these examinations.

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

Over the past several years, we have been able to generate positive cash flow from our operating activities, including cash from operations of $156.6 million in fiscal year 2011. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow generated from operations, and available borrowings under our bank lines of credit will be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of March 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2011 (in thousands):

			Payments Due by Period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		More than 5 years
Operating leases	$	72,591	$	18,023	$	25,469	$	14,832	$	14,267

Total contractual obligations and commitments	$	484,275	$	243,872	$	25,469	$	14,832	$	14,267

⁽¹⁾ As specific payment dates for these obligations are unknown, the related balances have not been reflected in the “Payments Due by Period” section of the table.

⁽²⁾ Other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2011 included $4.3 million of royalties payable, $5.6 million in deferred service revenue, and $4.2 million related to various other obligations. As specific payment dates for these obligations are unknown, the related balances have not been reflected in the “Payments Due by Period” section of the table.

58

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 March 31, 2011 were $1.6 million.

In May, 2011 we signed a new lease for facilities which will house our Americas operations in Northern California, replacing our leased facilities in Fremont, California. Our future contractual obligation in connection with this lease is approximately $35 million.

Purchase Commitments

We expect to continue making capital expenditures in the future to support product development activities and ongoing and expanded operations. At March 31, 2011, fixed purchase commitments for capital expenditures amounted to $10.7 million, and primarily relate to commitments for manufacturing equipment and tooling. We also have commitments for inventory purchases made in the normal course of business to original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers and other suppliers. At March 31, 2011, fixed purchase commitments for inventory amounted to $165.3 million, which are expected to be fulfilled by September 2011. We also had other commitments of $49.8 million for consulting services, marketing arrangements, advertising, outsourced customer services and other services. 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 March 31, 2011, we had $132.0 million in non-current income taxes payable, including interest and penalties, related to our income tax liability for recognized uncertain tax positions. As specific payment dates for these obligations are unknown, the related balances have not been reflected in the “Payments Due by Period” section of the table. Although we have 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. We do not anticipate that this liability will change substantially within the next 12 months.

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 the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service expanded its examination of the Company’s U.S. subsidiary to include fiscal years 2008 and 2009 in addition to fiscal years 2006 and 2007. At this time it is not possible to estimate the potential impact that the examination may have on income tax expense. The Company is also under examination in other tax jurisdictions. Although timing of the resolution or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.

Obligation for Management Deferred Compensation

At March 31, 2011, we had $13.1 million in liabilities related to a management deferred compensation plan offered by one of the Company’s subsidiaries. As specific payment dates for these obligations are unknown, the related balances have not been reflected in the “Payments Due by Period” section of the table. See Note 12 — Employee Benefit Plans for more information.

Pension and Post-Employment Obligations

At March 31, 2011, we had $30.2 million in liabilities related to our defined benefit pension plans and non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations, of which $3.6 million is payable in the next 12 months. As specific payment dates for these obligations are unknown beyond a 12-month period, the related balances have not been reflected in the “Payments Due by Period” section of the table. See Note 12 — Employee Benefit Plans for more information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company.

Guarantees

The Company has guaranteed the purchase obligations of some of its contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers to certain component suppliers. These guarantees generally have a term of one year and are automatically extended for one or more years as long as a liability exists. The amount of the purchase obligations of these manufacturers varies over time, and therefore the amounts subject to the Company’s guarantees similarly varies. At March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding guaranteed purchase obligations. The maximum potential future payments for two of the three guarantee arrangements is limited to $30.0 million in total. The third guarantee is limited to purchases of specified components from the named suppliers. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information available as of the date of this report, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid under these guarantee arrangements.

Logitech International S.A., the parent holding company, has guaranteed certain contingent liabilities of various subsidiaries related to specific transactions occurring in the normal course of business. The maximum amount of the guarantees was $54.7 million as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, $10.3 million was outstanding under these guarantees. The parent holding company has also guaranteed the purchases of one of its subsidiaries under three guarantee arrangements. Two of these guarantees do not specify a maximum amount. The third guarantee is limited to $7.0 million. As of March 31, 2011, $4.9 million was outstanding under these guarantees.

Indemnifications

The Company indemnifies certain of its suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property rights and 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. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, and the bylaws of our subsidiaries contain similar indemnification obligations to our agents. No amounts have been accrued for indemnification provisions at March 31, 2011. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information available as of the date of this report, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid under these indemnification arrangements.

Letters of Credit

We provide various third parties with irrevocable letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure our obligations to pay or perform pursuant to the requirements of an underlying agreement or the provision of goods and services. These standby letters of credit are cancelable only at the option of the beneficiary who is authorized to draw drafts on the issuing bank up to the face amount of the standby letter of credit in accordance

60

with its terms. At March 31, 2011, we had $0.7 million of letters of credit in place, of which $0.1 million was outstanding. These letters of credit relate primarily to equipment purchases by a subsidiary in China, and expire between April and December 2011.

ITEM 7A. 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, Mexican peso, Japanese yen 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, Chinese renminbi, 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 March 31, 2011. 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	$	58,969		$	(5,361	)	$	6,552
Taiwanese dollar	U.S. dollar		21,377			(1,943	)		2,375
Euro	British pound		14,606			(1,328	)		1,623
Mexican peso	U.S. dollar		(8,715	)		792			(968	)
Japanese yen	U.S. dollar		(7,345	)		668			(816	)
Euro	U.S. dollar		(2,743	)		249			(305	)
Canadian dollar	U.S. dollar		2,624			(239	)		292
Euro	Swedish krona		(1,591	)		145			(177	)
Euro	Russian rouble		1,109			(101	)		123
Euro	Swiss franc		(1,095	)		100			(122	)
Australian dollar	U.S. dollar		817			(74	)		91

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.

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 March 31, 2011, net assets held in CNY totaled $59.0 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 mature within three 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 March 31, 2011, the notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $54.9 million (€38.7 million). Deferred realized losses of $1.2 million are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2011, and are expected to be reclassified to cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Deferred unrealized losses of $1.8 million related to open cash flow hedges are also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2011 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 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 two 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 March 31, 2011 relating to foreign currency receivables or payables were $12.9 million. Open forward contracts as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2011 were $17.1 million. Swap contracts outstanding at March 31, 2011 consisted of contracts in Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, and Mexican pesos. Unrealized net losses on the contracts outstanding at March 31, 2011 were $0.4 million.

If the U.S. dollar had appreciated by 10% at March 31, 2011 compared with the foreign currencies in which we have forward or swap contracts, an unrealized gain of $5.7 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 $8.6 million unrealized loss in our forward foreign exchange contract portfolio would have occurred.

62

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 March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 period end rates would not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Logitech’s financial statements and supplementary data required by this item are set forth as a separate section of this Form 10-K. See Item 15 (a) for a listing of financial statements provided in the section titled “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Logitech’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a level designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their stated objectives.

Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to reasonably assure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Logitech’s management, with oversight by the Board of Directors, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Logitech’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Logitech’s management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2011.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

63

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in Item 15.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In December of 2009, the Company acquired LifeSize Communications, Inc. As a result, the Company is in the process of integrating the processes and systems related to LifeSize into its existing systems of internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of Logitech International S.A.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Logitech International S.A. and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for business combinations effective April 1, 2009.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

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). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented.

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

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.

79

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.

Foreign Currencies

The functional currency of the Company’s operations is primarily the U.S. dollar. To a lesser extent, certain operations use the euro, Chinese renminbi, Swiss franc or the local currency of the country as their functional currencies. The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and monthly average rates for revenues and expenses. Cumulative translation gains and losses are included as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary’s functional currency are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

• evidence of an arrangement exists between the Company and the customer;

• delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss transfer to the customer;

• the price of the product is fixed or determinable; and

• collectibility of the receivable is reasonably assured.

For sales of most hardware peripherals products and hardware bundled with software incidental to its functionality, these criteria are met at the time delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer.

For multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements that include both undelivered software elements and hardware with software essential its functionality, the Company began using the following hierarchy as of April 1, 2010 to determine the relative selling price for allocating revenue to the deliverables: (i) VSOE (vendor specific objective evidence) of fair value, if available; (ii) TPE (third party evidence), if VSOE is not available; or (iii) ESP (estimated selling price), if neither VSOE or TPE is available. Management judgment must be used to determine the appropriate deliverables and associated relative selling prices. The Company has identified Logitech Revue and the LifeSize video conferencing products as products sold with software components that qualify as multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.

The sale of Logitech Revue consists of three deliverables: hardware with essential software delivered at the time of sale, standalone hardware, and unspecified upgrades to the essential software delivered on a when-and-if-available basis. The relative selling price of the hardware with essential software is based on ESP, using the cost-plus margin method. The relative selling price of the standalone hardware is based on VSOE from sales of the product on a standalone basis. As future unspecified upgrades to the essential software are not sold on a standalone basis by Logitech or its competitors, the ESP for future upgrades is estimated as a percentage of the total market price for similar software products sold by third parties which include upgrade rights. Amounts allocated to the delivered hardware and essential software are recognized

80

at the time of sale provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. Amounts allocated to the future unspecified software upgrade rights are deferred and recognized ratably over the estimated 24-month life of the hardware.

LifeSize products include the following deliverables:

• Hardware with software essential to the functionality of the hardware device delivered at time of sale;

• Non-essential software;

• Maintenance for hardware with essential software, including future, when-and-if available unspecified upgrades;

• Maintenance for non-essential software, including future, when-and-if available unspecified upgrades;

• Other services including training and installation.

The relative selling price for LifeSize hardware with essential software and non-essential software is based on ESP, as VSOE and TPE cannot be established due to variable price discounting. Key factors considered in developing ESP are historical selling prices of the product, pricing of substantially similar products, and other market conditions. LifeSize sells maintenance for non-essential software, maintenance for hardware with essential software, and other services on a standalone basis, and therefore has established VSOE for those deliverables. Amounts allocated to the delivered hardware with essential software and non-essential software are recognized at the time of sale provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. Amounts allocated to maintenance are deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Amounts allocated to other services are deferred and recognized upon completion of services. Prior to adopting the selling price hierarchy on April 1, 2010, LifeSize had established VSOE for all undelivered elements, which continued to be used as the relative selling price.

Separately priced maintenance contracts and extended service revenue on other Logitech hardware and software products are recognized ratably over the service period.

Revenues from sales to distributors and authorized resellers are recognized net of estimated product returns and expected payments for cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. The estimated cost of these programs is accrued in the period the Company sells the product or commits to the program as a reduction of revenue or as an operating expense, if we receive a separately identifiable benefit from the customer and can reasonably estimate the fair value of that benefit. Significant management judgment and estimates must be used to determine the cost of these programs in any accounting period.

The Company grants limited rights to return product. Return rights vary by customer, and range from just the right to return defective product to stock rotation rights limited to a percentage approved by management. Estimates of expected future product returns are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical return trends by customer and by product, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information. Return trends are influenced by product life cycle status, new product introductions, market acceptance of products, sales levels, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality, product quality issues, competitive pressures, operational policies and procedures, and other factors. Return rates can fluctuate over time, but are sufficiently predictable to allow us to estimate expected future product returns.

The Company enters into customer marketing programs with many of our distribution and retail customers, and with certain indirect partners, allowing customers to receive a credit equal to a set percentage of their purchases of the Company’s products, or a fixed dollar credit for various marketing programs. The objective of these programs is to encourage advertising and promotional events to increase sales of our products. Accruals for these marketing programs are recorded at the time of sale, or time of commitment, based on negotiated terms, historical experience and inventory levels in the channel.

81

Customer incentive programs include performance-based incentives and consumer rebates. The Company offers performance-based incentives to its distribution customers, retail customers and indirect partners based on pre-determined performance criteria. Allowances for performance-based incentives are recognized as a reduction of the sale price at the time of sale. Estimates of required allowances are determined based on negotiated terms, consideration of historical experience, anticipated volume of future purchases, and inventory levels in the channel. Consumer rebates are offered from time to time at the Company’s discretion for the primary benefit of end-users. Estimated costs of consumer rebates and similar incentives are recorded at the time the incentive is offered, based on the specific terms and conditions. Certain incentive programs, including consumer rebates, require management to estimate the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive based on historical experience and the specific terms and conditions of particular programs.

The Company has agreements with certain of its customers that contain terms allowing price protection credits to be issued in the event of a subsequent price reduction. At management’s discretion, the Company also offers special pricing discounts to certain customers. Special pricing discounts are usually offered only for limited time periods or for sales of selected products to specific indirect partners. Management’s decision to make price reductions is influenced by product life cycle stage, market acceptance of products, the competitive environment, new product introductions and other factors. Estimates of expected future pricing actions are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical pricing actions by customer and by products, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information, such as stage of product life-cycle.

The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of the accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. Future market conditions and product transitions may require the Company to take action to increase such programs. In addition, when the variables used to estimate these costs change, or if actual costs differ significantly from the estimates, the Company would be required to record incremental reductions to revenue or increase operating expenses. If, at any future time, the Company becomes unable to reasonably estimate these costs, recognition of revenue might be deferred until products are sold to end-users, which would adversely impact revenue in the period of transition.

The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

Research and Development Costs

Costs related to research, design and development of products, which consist primarily of personnel, product design and infrastructure expenses, are charged to research and development expense as they are incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $184.8 million, $118.1 million and $161.5 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009. Advertising costs are recorded as either a marketing and selling expense or a deduction from revenue. Advertising costs reimbursed by the Company to a customer must have an identifiable benefit and an estimable fair value in order to be classified as an operating expense. If these criteria are not met, the cost is classified as a reduction of revenue.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

82

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions to limit exposure with any one financial institution, but is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by financial institutions to the extent that cash balances with individual financial institutions are in excess of amounts that are insured.

The Company sells to large OEMs, distributors and key retailers and, as a result, maintains individually significant receivable balances with such customers. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, one customer represented 13% and 14% of total accounts receivable. 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.

The Company’s OEM customers tend to be well-capitalized, multi-national companies, while distributors and key retailers may be less well-capitalized. The Company manages its accounts receivable credit risk through ongoing credit evaluation of its customers’ financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowances are based on the Company’s regular assessment of the credit worthiness and financial condition of specific customers, as well as its historical experience with bad debts and customer deductions, receivables aging, current economic trends, geographic or country-specific risks and the financial condition of its distribution channels.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records write-downs of inventories which are obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or market value based on a consideration of marketability and product life cycle stage, product development plans, component cost trends, demand forecasts, historical sales, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Investments

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

The bank time deposits are classified as cash equivalents, and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

The marketable securities are classified as non-current trading investments, and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Earnings, gains and losses on trading investments are included in other income (expense), net.

The auction rate securities are classified as non-current available-for-sale assets, and are recorded at estimated fair value. Declines in fair value of the auction rate securities are deemed other-than-temporary and are included in other income (expense), net. Increases in fair value are deemed temporary and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes the cost of software developed for internal use in connection with major projects. Costs incurred during the feasibility stage are expensed, whereas costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method. Plant and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives from ten to twenty-five years, equipment over useful lives from three to five years, software development over useful lives of three to five years and leasehold improvements over the life of the lease, generally not exceeding five years. Beginning in fiscal year 2011, tooling is depreciated using the straight-line method over the forecasted life of the tool, not to exceed one year from the time it is placed into production. Prior to fiscal year 2011, depreciation for tooling was calculated based on the forecasted production volume and adjusted quarterly based on actual production.

When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the net gain or loss is included in the determination of net income.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets principally include goodwill, acquired technology, trademarks, customer contracts and customer relationships, and other. Intangible assets with finite lives, which include acquired technology, trademarks, customer contracts and customer relationships, and other, are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from one year to ten years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which include goodwill, are recorded at cost and evaluated at least annually for impairment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as investments, property and equipment, and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amounts might not be recoverable. Recoverability of investments, property and equipment, and other intangible assets is measured by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with those assets to their carrying values. If an asset is considered impaired, it is written down to fair value, which is determined based on the asset’s projected discounted cash flows or appraised value, depending on the nature of the asset.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. 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 the impairment loss.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events are taken into consideration, with the exception of potential tax law or tax rate changes.

The Company’s assessment of uncertain tax positions requires that management make estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the

84

related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and its results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s trading investments are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices, and available-for-sale securities are reported at estimated fair value.

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average outstanding shares. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average outstanding shares and dilutive share equivalents. Dilutive share equivalents consist of share-based compensation awards, including stock options and restricted stock.

The dilutive effect of in-the-money share-based compensation awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the amount used to repurchase shares includes the amount the employee must pay for exercising share-based awards, the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized for future service, and the amount of tax impact that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense includes compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, for share-based compensation awards granted after April 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value. The grant date fair value for stock options and stock purchase rights is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The grant date fair value of RSUs (restricted stock units) which vest upon meeting certain market conditions is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation method. The grant date fair value of time-based RSUs is calculated based on the share market price on the date of grant. For stock options and restricted stock assumed by Logitech when LifeSize was acquired, the grant date used to estimate fair value is deemed to be December 11, 2009, the date of acquisition. Compensation expense for awards granted or assumed after April 1, 2006 is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of four years (single-option approach) for stock options and one to four years for RSUs.

For share-based compensation awards granted prior to but not yet vested as of April 1, 2006, share-based compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model reduced for estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense for these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period for each separately vesting portion of the award (multiple-option approach).

Tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options are classified as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Excess tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to share-based compensation costs for such options.

The Company will recognize a benefit from share-based compensation in paid-in capital only if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other available tax attributes have been utilized. For income tax footnote disclosure, the Company has elected to offset deferred tax assets against the valuation allowance related to the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards from accumulated tax benefits. The Company will

85

recognize these tax benefits in paid-in capital when the deduction reduces cash taxes payable. In addition, the Company has elected to account for the indirect benefits of share-based compensation on the research tax credit through the income statement (continuing operations) rather than through paid-in capital.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the total change in shareholders’ equity during the period other than from transactions with shareholders. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. Other comprehensive income is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments from those entities not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities, net deferred gains and losses and prior service costs for defined benefit pension plans, and net deferred gains and losses on hedging activity.

Treasury Shares

The Company periodically repurchases shares in the market at fair value. Treasury shares repurchased are recorded at cost, as a reduction of total shareholders’ equity. Treasury shares held are reissued to satisfy the exercise of employee stock options and purchase rights, and the vesting of restricted stock units.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables or payables and to hedge against exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to its subsidiaries’ forecasted inventory purchases. These forward contracts generally mature within one to three months. The Company may also enter into foreign exchange swap contracts to extend the terms of its foreign exchange forward contracts.

Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of our forward contracts related to forecasted inventory purchases 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. Gains or losses in fair value on forward contracts which offset translation losses or gains on foreign currency receivables or payables are recognized in earnings monthly and are included in other income (expense), net.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, ASU 2010-28 requires performance of an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of impairment. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2010. Logitech will adopt ASU 2009-28 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The impact of adopting ASU 2010-28 will not be known until the Company performs its evaluations of goodwill impairment.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. ASU 2010-29 specifies that, for material business combinations when comparative financial statements are presented, revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-09 also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-09 is effective prospectively for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. We will adopt this guidance for acquisitions beginning in fiscal year 2012.

Note 3 — Net Income per Share

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

	Year ended March 31,
	2011		2010		2009
Net income — basic and diluted	$	128,460	$	64,957	$	107,032
Weighted average shares — basic		176,928		177,279		178,811
Effect of dilutive stock options		1,862		2,061		4,100
Weighted average shares — diluted		178,790		179,340		182,911
Net income per share — basic	$	0.73	$	0.37	$	0.60
Net income per share — diluted	$	0.72	$	0.36	$	0.59

Employee equity share options, non-vested shares 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.

During fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, 13,705,406, 15,186,997 and 10,567,217 share equivalents attributable to outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the combined exercise price, average unamortized fair value and assumed tax benefits upon exercise of these options and RSUs were greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table illustrates the dilution effect of share-based awards granted, assumed and exercised (in thousands):

	Year ended March 31
	2011			2010			2009
Basic weighted average shares outstanding as of March 31		176,928			177,279			178,811
Stock options and RSUs granted		2,431			3,902			4,239
Stock options and restricted stock assumed in LifeSize acquisition		—			1,078			—
Stock options and RSUs canceled, forfeited, or expired		(1,411	)		(1,440	)		(1,163	)
Net awards granted and assumed		1,020			3,540			3,076
Grant dilution (1)		0.6	%		2.0	%		1.7	%
Stock options exercised and RSUs vested		2,889			1,980			2,037
Exercise dilution (2)		1.6	%		1.1	%		1.1	%

(1) The percentage of grant dilution is computed based on net awards granted and assumed as a percentage of basic weighted average shares outstanding.

(2) The percentage of exercise dilution is computed based on options exercised as a percentage of basic weighted average shares outstanding.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company considers fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes the following three-level fair value hierarchy to establish the priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value:

• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, classified by the level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

	March 31, 2011						March 31, 2010
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Cash and cash equivalents	$	477,931	$	—	$	—	$	319,944	$	—	$	—
Trading investments		13,113		—		—		—		—		—
Available-for-sale securities		—		—		1,695		—		—		994
Foreign exchange derivative assets		566		—		—		599		—		—
Total assets at fair value	$	491,610	$	—	$	1,695	$	320,543	$	—	$	994

Total liabilities at fair value	$	1,881	$	—	$	—	$	366	$	—	$	—

Notes 5 and 14 describe the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair value.

Note 5 — Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investment Securities

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

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

The marketable securities are classified as non-current trading investments and do not have maturity dates. Since participants in the management 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 $13.1 million as of March 31, 2011, 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 (expense), net.

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

88

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. Four of the securities with par value of $32.2 million and estimated fair value of $0.9 million have experienced events of default, and two of these four securities have declared acceleration. The auction rate securities are currently rated below investment grade. The Company does not expect to realize the proceeds, if any, from these securities until a future auction of these securities is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. The auction rate securities are reported at estimated fair value at March 31, 2011 and 2010 of $1.7 million and $1.0 million. 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 are discounted at the rate of return required by investors, based on the characteristics of each security as calculated from the indices. The par value of the auction rate securities at March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $47.5 million. Declines in fair value of the auction rate securities are deemed other-than-temporary and are included in other income (expense), net. Increases in fair value are deemed not-other-than-temporary and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The following table presents the changes in fair value of the Company’s auction rate securities during fiscal years 2011 and 2010:

	March 31,
	2011			2010
Auction rate securities, beginning balance	$	994		$	1,637
Unrealized gain		744			—
Unrealized loss		(43	)		(643	)
Auction rate securities, ending balance	$	1,695		$	994

Note 6 — Acquisitions and Divestitures

Paradial

On July 6, 2010, Logitech acquired substantially all of the assets and employees of Paradial AS, a Norwegian company providing firewall and NAT (network address translation) traversal solutions for video communications. The acquisition will allow the Company to closely integrate firewall and NAT traversal across its video communications product portfolio, enabling end-to-end HD video calling over highly protected networks. The acquisition has been treated as an acquisition of a business and has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total consideration paid of $7.3 million was allocated based on estimated fair values to $7.0 million of identifiable intangible assets and $0.1 million of assumed liabilities, with the remaining balance allocated to goodwill. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

LifeSize

On December 11, 2009, pursuant to a merger agreement signed November 10, 2009, Logitech acquired LifeSize Communications, Inc., an Austin, Texas-based privately-held company specializing in high definition video communication products and services. Logitech expects the acquisition to drive growth in video communication for the enterprise and small-to-medium business markets by leveraging the two companies’ technology expertise, including camera design, firewall traversal, video compression and bandwidth management.

89

The total consideration paid to acquire LifeSize was $382.8 million, not including cash acquired of $3.7 million. In addition, Logitech incurred $6.6 million in transaction costs, which are included in operating expenses. Logitech paid $382.3 million in cash to the holders of all outstanding shares of LifeSize capital stock, all vested options issued by LifeSize, and all outstanding warrants to purchase LifeSize stock. As part of the acquisition, Logitech assumed all outstanding unvested LifeSize stock options and unvested restricted stock held by continuing LifeSize employees at December 11, 2009. The assumed options are exercisable for a total of approximately 1.0 million Logitech shares and the assumed restricted stock was exchanged for 0.1 million Logitech shares. The stock options and restricted stock continue to have the same terms and conditions as under LifeSize’s option plan. The fair value attributable to precombination employee services for the stock options assumed, which is part of the consideration paid to acquire LifeSize, was $0.5 million. The weighted average fair value of $12.07 per share for the stock options assumed was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected term of 2.0 years, expected volatility of 57%, and risk-free interest rate of 0.7%.

The total cash consideration paid of $382.3 million included $37.0 million deposited into an escrow account as security for indemnification claims under the merger agreement and $0.5 million deposited in a stockholder representative expense fund. The escrow trustee disbursed 50% of the escrow fund to the former holders of LifeSize capital stock, vested options and warrants in December 2010, and the remaining fifty percent will be disbursed in June 2011, subject to indemnification claims.

In connection with the merger, Logitech also agreed to establish a cash and stock option retention and incentive plan for certain LifeSize employees, linked to the achievement of LifeSize performance targets. The duration of the plan’s performance period is two years, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The total available cash incentive is $9.0 million over the two year performance period. As of March 31, 2011, approximately $5.6 million has been accrued for this cash incentive. In December 2009, options to purchase 850,000 Logitech shares were issued in connection with the retention and incentive plan.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the total consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by Logitech management based on information available at the date of acquisition.

The allocation of total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of LifeSize was as follows (in thousands):

	December 11, 2009			Estimated Life
Tangible assets acquired	$	33,635
Deferred tax asset, net		8,828
Intangible assets acquired
Existing technology		30,000		4 years
Patents and core technology		4,500		3 years
Trademark/trade name		7,600		5 years
Customer relationships and other		31,500		5 years
Goodwill		307,241		—
		423,304
Liabilities assumed		(26,985	)
Debt assumed		(13,505	)
Total consideration	$	382,814

The deferred tax asset primarily relates to the tax benefit of a net operating loss carryforward, net of the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets. The existing technology of LifeSize relates to the platform technology used in LifeSize’s high-definition video conferencing systems. The value of the technology was

90

determined based on the present value of estimated expected cash flows attributable to the technology, assuming the highest and best use by a market participant. The patents and core technology represent awarded patents, filed patent applications and core architectures, trade secrets or processes used in LifeSize’s current and planned future products. Trademark/trade name relates to the LifeSize brand names. The value of the patents, core technology and trademark/trade name was estimated by capitalizing the estimated profits saved as a result of acquiring or licensing the asset. Customer relationships and other relates to the ability to sell existing, in-process, and future versions of the technology and services to LifeSize’s existing customer base, valued based on projected discounted cash flows generated from customers in place. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the opportunities and economies of scale from combining the operations and technologies of Logitech and LifeSize. This goodwill is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The debt that Logitech assumed as part of the acquisition was repaid in full on December 18, 2009.

Unaudited pro forma financial information

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Logitech and LifeSize during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 as though the acquisition took place as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The pro forma financial information also includes certain adjustments such as amortization expense from acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and restricted stock assumed, depreciation adjustments from alignment of the companies’ policies related to property, plant and equipment, interest expense related to debt assumed, expense related to retention bonuses, pre-acquisition transaction costs, and the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma financial information presented below (in thousands except per share amounts) is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented.

	2010		2009

TV Compass

On November 27, 2009, Logitech acquired certain assets from TV Compass, Inc., a Chicago, Illinois-based company providing video software and services for the Web and mobile devices. The acquisition has been treated as an acquisition of a business and has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total consideration paid of $10.0 million was allocated based on estimated fair values to $4.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, with the balance allocated to goodwill. Fair values were determined by Company management based on information available at the date of acquisition. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 6 years. The goodwill results from expected incremental revenue from the use of the acquired technology in enhancing our products. The goodwill is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. In addition, Logitech incurred $0.3 million in transaction costs, which are included in operating expenses.

SightSpeed

In October 2008, the Company acquired SightSpeed Inc., a privately held company providing high-quality Internet video communications services. The acquisition of SightSpeed provided Logitech with video calling technology and a software and services development team that is focused on future video calling initiatives to enable cross-platform video communications.

91

Total consideration paid was $30.9 million, which includes $0.8 million in transaction costs. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of SightSpeed.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the total consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by Company management based on information available at the date of acquisition. The results of operations of SightSpeed were included in Logitech’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and were not material to the Company’s reported results.

The allocation of total consideration, including transaction costs, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of SightSpeed was as follows (in thousands):

	November 3, 2008			Estimated Life
Tangible assets acquired	$	370
Deferred tax asset, net		6,622
Intangible assets acquired
Existing technology		800		5 years
Patents and core technology		2,700		5 years
Trademark/trade name		200		2 years
Customer relationships and other		1,200		4.9 years
In-process research and development		1,000		—
Goodwill		18,751		—
		31,643
Liabilities assumed		(756	)
Total consideration	$	30,887

The deferred tax asset relates to the tax benefit of a net operating loss carryforward, net of the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets. The existing technology of SightSpeed relates to internet video communications services that allow users to make video calls, computer-to-computer voice calls, and calls to regular telephones with free and prepaid versions. In-process research and development had not reached technological feasibility at the time of the acquisition and had no further alternative uses, and was expensed immediately to research and development expense upon consummation of the acquisition. The value of the technology was determined based on the present value of estimated expected cash flows attributable to the technology. The patents and core technology represent awarded patents, filed patent applications and core architectures used in SightSpeed’s current and planned future products. Trademark/trade name relates to the SightSpeed brand names. The value of the patents, core technology and trademark/trade name was estimated by capitalizing the estimated profits saved as a result of acquiring or licensing the asset. Customer relationships and other relates to the ability to sell existing, in-process, and future versions of the technology to SightSpeed’s existing customer base, valued based on projected discounted cash flows generated from customers in place. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Ultimate Ears

In August 2008, the Company acquired the Ultimate Ears companies, a privately held group of companies offering a range of earphones for portable-music enthusiasts as well as a line of custom-fit in-ear monitors for music professionals. The acquisition is part of the Company’s strategy to expand its portfolio of digital audio products, providing more options for portable music listening.

92

Total consideration paid was $34.5 million, which includes $0.7 million in transaction costs. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Ultimate Ears for $33.8 million, including a $6.9 million holdback provision relating to potential indemnification claims, of which $6.1 million has been disbursed and $0.8 million is recorded as a liability as of March 31, 2011. The holdback provision has been included as part of the purchase price allocation below.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the total consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by Company management based on information available at the date of acquisition. The results of operations of Ultimate Ears were included in Logitech’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and were not material to the Company’s reported results.

The allocation of total consideration, including transaction costs, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Ultimate Ears was as follows (in thousands):

	August 19, 2008			Estimated Life
Tangible assets acquired	$	4,132
Intangible assets acquired

The existing technology of Ultimate Ears relates to the technical components used in the in-ear monitors and earplugs. The value of the technology was determined based on the present value of estimated expected cash flows attributable to the technology. The patents and core technology represent awarded patents, filed patent applications and core architectures used in Ultimate Ears’ current and planned future products. Trademark/trade name relates to the Ultimate Ears brand names. The value of the patents, core technology and trademark/trade name was estimated by capitalizing the estimated profits saved as a result of acquiring or licensing the asset. Customer relationships and other relates to Ultimate Ears’ existing customer base, valued based on projected discounted cash flows generated from customers in place. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The deferred tax liability relates to the acquired intangible assets which are also not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

3Dconnexion

On March 31, 2011, the Company sold its equity interest in certain 3Dconnexion subsidiaries, the provider of the Company’s 3D controllers, and its intellectual property rights related to the manufacture and sale of certain 3Dconnexion products, to a group of third party individuals and certain 3Dconnexion employees. The sale price was $9.1 million, not including cash retained. Under the sale agreement, the Company will continue to manufacture 3Dconnexion products and sell to the buyers for a period of three years. The loss resulting from the sale was not material.

Goodwill, ending balance	$	547,184		$	553,462

Additions to goodwill during fiscal year 2011 related to our acquisition of Paradial. Additions to goodwill during fiscal year 2010 primarily related to our acquisitions of LifeSize and TV Compass. The divestiture relates

95

to goodwill associated with the 3Dconnexion entities which were sold on March 31, 2011. The adjustment to goodwill in fiscal year 2010 represents an adjustment of the deferred tax asset recognized in connection with the acquisitions of SightSpeed, Inc. and the Ultimate Ears companies.

Logitech maintains discrete financial information for LifeSize and accordingly, the acquired goodwill related to the LifeSize acquisition is separately evaluated for impairment at the entity level. The Company has fully integrated the Paradial business into LifeSize, and discrete financial information for Paradial is not maintained. Accordingly, the acquired goodwill related to Paradial is evaluated for impairment at the LifeSize entity level.

The Company has fully integrated the TV Compass business into the Company’s other operations, and discrete financial information for TV Compass is not maintained. Accordingly, the acquired goodwill related to TV Compass is evaluated for impairment at the total enterprise level.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment analyses of our operating segments during its fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. Based on the impairment analyses performed, the fair value of each of our operating segments exceeded the carrying value of the segment by more than 50% of the carrying value.

The Company’s acquired other intangible assets subject to amortization were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2011							March 31, 2010
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount

	$	158,512	$	(83,896	)	$	74,616	$	158,536	$	(63,140	)	$	95,396

During fiscal year 2011, changes in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets related primarily to our acquisition of Paradial. During fiscal year 2010, changes in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets related primarily to our acquisitions of LifeSize and TV Compass.

For fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, amortization expense for other intangible assets was $27.8 million, $14.5 million and $8.2 million. The Company expects that annual amortization expense for the fiscal years ending 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 will be $26.0 million, $23.1 million, $16.9 million, $8.2 million, and $0.4 million thereafter.

Note 9 — Financing Arrangements

The Company had several uncommitted, unsecured bank lines of credit aggregating $117.1 million at March 31, 2011. There are no financial covenants under these lines of credit with which the Company must comply. At March 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit.

Note 10 — Shareholders’ Equity

Share Capital

The Company’s nominal share capital is CHF 47,901,655, consisting of 191,606,620 shares with a par value of CHF 0.25 each, all of which were issued and 12,433,614 of which were held in treasury as of March 31, 2011.

In September 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which decreased the conditional capital reserved for potential issuance on the exercise of rights

96

granted under the Company’s employee equity incentive plans from 60,661,860 shares to 25,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors determined that the reduced amount of conditional capital, together with a portion of its shares held in treasury, was adequate to cover employee equity incentives without impacting the ability of the Company to maintain employee equity incentive plans.

In September 2008, the shareholders also approved the creation of conditional capital representing the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares to cover any conversion rights under a future convertible bond issuance. This conditional capital was created in order to provide financing flexibility for future expansion, investments or acquisitions.

Dividends

Pursuant to Swiss corporate law, Logitech International S.A. may only pay dividends in Swiss francs. The payment of dividends is limited to certain amounts of unappropriated retained earnings (CHF 507.7 million or $554.6 million based on exchange rates at March 31, 2011) and is subject to shareholder approval.

Legal Reserves

Under Swiss corporate law, a minimum of 5% of the Company’s annual net income must be retained in a legal reserve until this legal reserve equals 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding aggregate par value per share capital. These legal reserves represent an appropriation of retained earnings that are not available for distribution and totaled $10.5 million at March 31, 2011 (based on exchange rates at March 31, 2011).

Additionally, under Swiss corporate law, the Company is required to establish a reserve equal to the amount of treasury shares repurchased at year-end. The reserve for treasury shares, which is not available for distribution, totaled $307.6 million at March 31, 2011.

Share Repurchases

During fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had the following approved share buyback programs in place (in thousands):

Date of Announcement	Approved Buyback Amount		Expiration Date	Completion Date		Amount Remaining

Note 11 — Restructuring

In January 2009, Logitech initiated the 2009 Restructuring Plan in order to reduce operating expenses and improve financial results in response to deteriorating global economic conditions. We completed the restructuring plan in fiscal year 2010. The following table summarizes restructuring related activities during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

Termination benefits incurred pursuant to the 2009 Restructuring Plan were calculated based on regional benefit practices and local statutory requirements. Asset impairments were recorded to write down fixed assets that were not placed in service due to the abandonment of the related projects. Contract termination costs related to exit costs associated with the closure of existing facilities. Other charges primarily consisted of pension curtailment and settlement costs of $3.4 million which are reflected in other charges in the preceding table, as the corresponding balance sheet amounts were reflected as a reduction of pension assets.

Note 12 — Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Share Purchase Plans and Stock Incentive Plans

As of March 31, 2011, the Company offers the 2006 ESPP (2006 Employee Share Purchase Plan (Non-U.S.)), the 1996 ESPP (1996 Employee Share Purchase Plan (U.S.)) and the 2006 Plan (2006 Stock Incentive 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 fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands).

	Year Ended March 31,
	2011		2010		2009
Cost of goods sold	$	4,223	$	3,073	$	3,163
Share-based compensation expense included in gross profit		4,223		3,073		3,163

Share-based compensation expense, net of income tax	$	26,567	$	20,039	$	21,401

As of March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.8 million of share-based compensation cost was capitalized to inventory. 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):

	March 31, 2011
	Compensation Cost Not Yet Recognized		Months of Future Recognition
Non-vested stock options	$	55,691		30
Time-based RSUs		29,775		48
Performance-based RSUs		13,330		33
Total compensation cost not yet recognized	$	98,796

Under the 1996 ESPP and 2006 ESPP plans, eligible employees may purchase shares at the lower of 85% of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of each six-month offering period. Subject to continued participation in these plans, purchase agreements are automatically executed at the end of each offering period. An aggregate of 16,000,000 shares was reserved for issuance under the 1996 and 2006 ESPP plans. As of March 31, 2011, a total of 1,643,369 shares were available for issuance under these plans.

The 2006 Plan provides for the grant to eligible employees and non-employee directors of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs (restricted stock units), which are bookkeeping entries reflecting the equivalent of shares. Awards under the 2006 Plan may be conditioned on continued employment, the passage of time or the satisfaction of performance vesting criteria. The 2006 Stock Plan has an expiration date of June 16, 2016. Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan generally vest over three years for non-executive Directors and over four years for employees. All stock options under this plan have terms not

99

exceeding ten years and are issued at exercise prices not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Time-based RSUs granted to employees under the 2006 Plan vest in four equal annual installments on the grant date anniversary. Time-based RSUs granted to non-executive board members under the 2006 Plan vest in one annual installment on the grant date anniversary. Performance-based RSUS granted under the 2006 Plan vest at the end of the performance period upon meeting certain share price performance criteria measured against market conditions. The performance period is three years for performance-based RSU grants made in fiscal year 2011 and two years for performance-based RSU grants made in fiscal years 2010 and 2009. An aggregate of 17,500,000 shares was reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. As of March 31, 2011, a total of 4,493,291 shares were available for issuance under this plan.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data; exercise prices are weighted averages):

	Year ended March 31,
	2011					2010					2009
	Number			Exercise Price		Number			Exercise Price		Number			Exercise Price
Outstanding, beginning of year		20,037		$	18		18,897		$	18		17,952		$	17

Exercisable, end of year		11,205		$	20		11,287		$	17		10,981		$	14

The total pretax intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $23.1 million, $15.0 million and $33.2 million and the tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from options exercised during those periods was $7.6 million, $3.9 million and $8.5 million. The total fair value of options vested as of March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $74.3 million, $66.4 million and $57.7 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 applying the following assumptions and values:

	Year ended March 31,
	2011		2010		2009		2011		2010		2009
	Purchase Plans						Stock Option Plans
Dividend yield		0%		0%		0%		0%		0%		0%
Expected life		6 months		6 months		6 months		4 years		3.3 years		3.7 years
Expected volatility		35%		59%		63%		48%		47%		36%
Risk-free interest rate		0.16%		0.19%		1.23%		1.57%		1.64%		2.40%

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. 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 volatility using daily prices over the term of past options or purchase offerings. The Company considers historical share price volatility 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.

100

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:

	Year ended March 31,
	2011			2010			2009			2011			2010			2009
	Purchase Plans									Stock Option Plans
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted	$	4.26		$	4.23		$	5.46		$	6.11		$	6.66		$	6.25
Expected forfeitures		0	%		0	%		0	%		9	%		9	%		7	%

The following table summarizes significant ranges of outstanding and exercisable options as of March 31, 2011 (in thousands except per share data; exercise prices and contractual lives are weighted averages):

	Options Outstanding								Options Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices	Number		Exercise Price		Contractual Life (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Number		Exercise Price		Contractual Life (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
$  1.00 - $11.45		2,870	$	9		3.8	$	27,256		2,359	$	9		2.9	$	20,768

$  1.00 - $50.00		16,312					$	43,107		11,205					$	28,277

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than the Company’s closing price of $18.13 at March 31, 2011, which would have been received by the option holders had these option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of fully vested in-the-money options exercisable as of March 31, 2011 was 4,883,941. As of March 31, 2011, 5,107,861 options were unvested, of which 4,648,154 are expected to vest, based on an estimated forfeiture rate of 9%.

A summary of the Company’s time- and performance-based RSU activity for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (in thousands, except per share values; grant-date fair values are weighted averages):

	Year ended March 31,

The Company estimates the fair value of the time-based RSUs based on the share market price on the date of grant. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model applying the following assumptions:

	FY 2011 Grants		FY 2010 Grants		FY 2009 Grants
Dividend yield		0%		0%		0%
Expected life		3 years		2 years		2 years
Expected volatility		51%		58%		41%
Risk-free interest rate		0.81%		1.11%		1.82%

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and future expectations of dividend payouts. 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 US Treasury Bonds for a term of the same number of years as the expected life.

As of March 31, 2011, the grant date fair values of outstanding RSUs ranged from $14 to $28 per RSU, and the weighted average contractual life was 3.8 years.

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 fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, were $8.9 million, $8.2 million and $8.3 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 Company recognizes the underfunded or overfunded status of defined benefit pension plans and non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and recognizes changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of shareholders’ equity. Each plan’s assets and benefit obligations are measured approximately as of March 31.

The net periodic benefit cost of the defined benefit pension plans and the non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows (in thousands):

The Company reassesses its benefit plan assumptions on a regular basis. The actuarial assumptions for the pension plans for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	2011				2010
	Benefit Obligation		Periodic Cost		Benefit Obligation		Periodic Cost
Discount rate		2.00% to 3.75%		2.00% to 3.75%		2.00% to 3.25%		2.00% to 3.00%
Estimated rate of compensation increase		3.00% to 5.00%		2.50% to 5.00%		2.50% to 5.00%		2.50% to 5.00%
Expected average rate of return on plan assets		1.00% to 4.00%		1.00% to 4.75%		1.00% to 4.75%		1.00% to 4.25%

The discount rate is estimated based on corporate bond yields or securities of similar quality in the respective country, with a duration approximating the period over which the benefit obligations are expected to be paid. The Company bases the compensation increase assumptions on historical experience and future expectations. The expected average rate of return for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans represents the average rate of return expected to be earned on plan assets over the period that the benefit obligations are expected to be paid, based on government bond notes in the respective country, adjusted for corporate risk premiums as appropriate.

The following table reflects the benefit payments that the Company expects the plans to pay in the periods noted (in thousands):

Year ending March 31,
2012	$	3,898
2013		4,024
2014		4,058
2015		4,018
2016		4,217
Thereafter		19,360
	$	39,575

The Company expects to contribute approximately $4.1 million to its defined benefit pension plans during fiscal year 2012.

Deferred Compensation Plan

One of the Company’s subsidiaries offers a management deferred compensation plan which permits eligible employees to make 100%-vested salary and incentive compensation deferrals within established limits. The Company does not make contributions to the plan. Prior to December 2010, the participants’ deferrals were invested in Company-owned life insurance contracts held in a Rabbi Trust. In December 2010, the Company surrendered the life insurance contracts for cash, and invested the proceeds of $11.3 million, in addition to $0.8 million in cash held by the Rabbi Trust, investment earnings and employee contributions, in a Company-selected portfolio of marketable securities, which are also held by the Rabbi Trust.

The fair value of the deferred compensation plan’s assets is included in other assets in the statements of financial position. The marketable securities are classified as trading investments and are recorded at a fair value of $13.1 million as of March 31, 2011, based on quoted market prices. Earnings, gains and losses on trading investments are included in other income (expense), net. The cash surrender value of the insurance contracts was approximately $10.4 million and trust cash balances were $0.7 million as of March 31, 2010. Expenses and gains or losses related to the insurance contracts are included in other income (expense), net.

The unsecured obligation to pay the compensation deferred, adjusted to reflect the positive or negative performance of investment options selected by each participant, was approximately $13.1 million and $10.3 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010 and was included in other liabilities.

Note 13 — 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.

Income before income taxes for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

The Company negotiated a tax holiday on certain earnings in China which was effective from January 2006 through December 2010. The tax holiday was a tax exemption aimed to attract foreign technological investment in China. The tax holiday decreased income tax expense by approximately $3.6 million, $2.4 million, and $4.0 million for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009. The benefit of the tax holiday on net income per share (diluted) was approximately $0.02, $0.01 and $0.02 in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009.

On December 17, 2010, the enactment in the U.S. of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 extended retroactively through the end of calendar year 2011 the U.S. federal research and development credit, which had expired on December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the Company’s income tax provision for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 includes a tax benefit of $2.2 million related to the U.S. federal research tax credit.

The U.S. state of California has enacted legislation affecting the methodology which must be used by corporate taxpayers to apportion income to California. These changes will become effective for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. The Company anticipates that the election to use only sales in apportioning income to California will lower the effective state tax rate in the future. The Company’s income tax provision as of March 31, 2011 reflects an income tax expense of $0.4 million from adjustments to deferred tax assets resulting from the change in the effective state tax rate.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

	March 31,
	2011			2010
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	33,029		$	40,878
Tax credit carryforwards		5,645			3,367
Accruals		35,172			35,346
Depreciation and amortization		12,310			11,473
Share-based compensation		21,997			17,438
Valuation allowance		(2,309	)		—
Gross deferred tax assets		105,844			108,502
Deferred tax liabilities:
Acquired intangible assets		(24,013	)		(37,264	)
Gross deferred tax liabilities		(24,013	)		(37,264	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	81,831		$	71,238

The current and deferred tax provision is calculated based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed. Adjustments for differences between the tax provisions and tax returns are recorded when identified, which is generally in the third or fourth quarter of the subsequent year.

Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets recorded in the Company’s entities based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as recent earnings history and expected future taxable income. In the event that future taxable income is below management’s estimates or is generated in tax jurisdictions different than projected, the Company could be required to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. This would result in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company established $2.3 million of valuation allowance in fiscal year 2011. In March 2011, the Company sold its equity interest in certain 3Dconnexion subsidiaries, and its intellectual property rights related to the manufacture and sale of certain 3Dconnexion products, to a group of third party individuals and certain 3Dconnexion employees. A full valuation allowance of $2.2 million was provided for $5.7 million of capital loss carryforward from the sale of 3Dconnexion Inc. in the U.S. as the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the Company would not generate adequate capital gains in the next five years before the capital loss expires under the U.S. tax law. The remaining valuation allowance of $0.1 million represents a full valuation allowance for certain foreign tax credit carryforwards in the U.S.

107

Deferred tax assets relating to tax benefits of employee stock option grants and RSUs have been reduced to reflect exercises in fiscal years 2011 and 2010. Some exercises resulted in tax deductions in excess of previously recorded benefits based on the option value at the time of grant (“windfalls”). Although these additional tax benefits are reflected in net operating loss carryforwards, the additional tax benefit associated with the windfall is not recorded until the deduction reduces cash taxes payable. During fiscal years 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a credit to equity of $4.8 million and $0.3 million.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had foreign net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes of $285.9 million and $25.4 million. Approximately $121.7 million of the net operating loss carryforwards and $20.2 million of the tax credit carryforwards, if realized, will be credited to equity since they have not met the applicable realization criteria. A full valuation allowance has been provided for foreign tax credits of $0.1 million. Unused net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates in fiscal years 2014 to 2031, and the tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire in fiscal year 2012.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $5.7 million for which a full valuation allowance has been provided. The loss will begin to expire in fiscal year 2016.

Swiss income taxes and non-Swiss withholding taxes associated with the repatriation of earnings or for other temporary differences related to investments in non-Swiss subsidiaries have not been provided for, as the Company intends to reinvest the earnings of such subsidiaries indefinitely or the Company has concluded that no additional tax liability would arise on the distribution of such earnings. If these earnings were distributed to Switzerland in the form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares of the relevant non-Swiss subsidiaries were sold or otherwise transferred, the Company may be subject to additional Swiss income taxes and non-Swiss withholding taxes. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $138.1 million and $125.2 million, of which $118.2 million and $101.4 million would affect the effective income tax rate if realized. The Company classified the unrecognized tax benefits as non-current income taxes payable.

The aggregate changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follow (in thousands):

Beginning balance as of March 31, 2008	$	92,647
Lapse of statute of limitations		(1,978	)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during the current period		6,958
Balance as of March 31, 2009	$	97,627
Lapse of statute of limitations		(3,667	)
Decreases in balances related to tax positions taken during prior periods		(229	)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during prior periods		2,690
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during the current period		17,207
Balance as of March 31, 2010	$	113,628
Lapse of statute of limitations		(4,760	)
Settlements with tax authorities		(6,290	)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during the current period		27,550
Balance as of March 31, 2011	$	130,128

108

The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. The Company recognized $1.3 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million in interest and penalties in income tax expense during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009. As of March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had approximately $8.0 million, $12.5 million and $10.7 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 the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service expanded its examination of the Company’s U.S. subsidiary to include fiscal years 2008 and 2009 in addition to fiscal years 2006 and 2007. At this time it is not possible to estimate the potential impact that the examination may have on income tax expense. The Company is also under examination in other jurisdictions.

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. Although the timing of the resolution or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.

Note 14 — Derivative Financial Instruments — Foreign Exchange Hedging

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 three 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 losses were immaterial during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. 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 $54.9 million (€38.7 million) and $46.2 million (€34.3 million) at March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 March 31, 2011 and 2010 relating to foreign currency receivables or payables were $12.9 million and $15.1 million. Open forward

109

contracts as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $17.1 million and $38.9 million. Swap contracts outstanding at March 31, 2011 consisted of contracts in Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, and Mexican pesos. Swap contracts outstanding at March 31, 2010 consisted of contracts in British pounds, Japanese yen, Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars.

The fair value of all our foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts is determined based on quoted foreign exchange forward rates. Quoted foreign exchange forward rates are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Rent expense was $19.8 million, $16.3 million and $15.5 million for the years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

In May, 2011 we signed a new lease for facilities which will house our Americas operations in Northern California, replacing our leased facilities in Fremont, California. Our future contractual obligation in connection with this lease is approximately $35 million over an 11 year period.

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 years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

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 years ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31,

Purchase Commitments

At March 31, 2011, the Company had the following outstanding purchase commitments:

	March 31, 2011
Inventory purchases	$	165,286
Operating expenses		49,839
Capital expenditures		10,724
Total purchase commitments	$	225,849

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 September 2011. Operating expense commitments are for consulting services, marketing arrangements, advertising, outsourced customer services and other services. Fixed purchase commitments for capital expenditures primarily related to commitments for manufacturing equipment and tooling. 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

The Company has guaranteed the purchase obligations of some of its contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers to certain component suppliers. These guarantees generally have a term of one year and are automatically extended for one or more years as long as a liability exists. The amount of the purchase obligations of these manufacturers varies over time, and therefore the amounts subject to Logitech’s guarantees similarly vary. At March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding guaranteed purchase obligations. The maximum potential future payments under two of the three guarantee arrangements is limited to $30.0 million. The third guarantee is limited to purchases of specified components from the named suppliers. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid under these guarantee arrangements.

Logitech International S.A., the parent holding company, has guaranteed certain contingent liabilities of various subsidiaries related to specific transactions occurring in the normal course of business. The maximum amount of the guarantees was $54.7 million as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, $10.3 million was outstanding under these guarantees. The parent holding company has also guaranteed the purchases of one of its subsidiaries under three guarantee agreements. Two of these guarantees do not specify a maximum amount. The third guarantee is limited to $7.0 million. As of March 31, 2011, $4.9 million was outstanding under these guarantees.

Indemnifications

Logitech indemnifies some of its suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property rights 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 March 31, 2011. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid under its indemnification arrangements.

Letters of Credit

Logitech provides various third parties with irrevocable letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure its obligations to pay or perform pursuant to the requirements of an underlying agreement or the provision of goods and services. These standby letters of credit are cancelable only at the option of the beneficiary who is

112

authorized to draw drafts on the issuing bank up to the face amount of the standby letter of credit in accordance with its terms. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $0.7 million of letters of credit in place, of which $0.1 million was outstanding. These letters of credit relate primarily to equipment purchases by a subsidiary in China, and expire between April and December 2011.

Acquisition Earn-Out

In November 2007, the Company acquired WiLife, Inc., a privately held company offering PC-based video cameras for self-monitoring a home or a small business. The purchase agreement provided for a performance-based payment, payable in the first calendar quarter of 2011, based on net revenues attributed to WiLife during calendar 2010. Because the minimum performance threshold was not met, no performance-based payment is due under the WiLife acquisition agreement.

Legal Proceedings

On May 23, 2011, a class action complaint was filed against Logitech and certain of its officers. This action was filed 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.

In addition, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims relating to commercial matters that arise in the normal course of business.

The Company believes these lawsuits and claims are without 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’s accruals for lawsuits and claims as of March 31, 2011 were not material.

(1) Digital Home is a new product family combining Harmony Remotes, Logitech Revue with Google TV and peripherals associated with the Google TV platform.

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 peripheral products for the PC (personal computer) and other digital platforms. The peripherals operating segment meets the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure of financial information. The video conferencing segment consists of the LifeSize division, and encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of video conferencing products, infrastructure and services for the enterprise, public sector and other business markets. The video conferencing operating segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure of financial information. The Company’s operating segments do not record revenue on sales between segments, as such sales are not material.

Operating performance measures for the peripherals segment and the video conferencing segment are reported separately to Logitech’s Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the Company’s chief operating decision maker. These operating performance measures do not include share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and assets by operating segment.

EXHIBIT 10.28

LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A. 2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(EXECUTIVE PARTICIPANT)

This Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including any country-specific terms and conditions set forth in the attached Appendix (collectively, the “Agreement”) is between Logitech International S.A., a Swiss company (the “Company”), and the Participant named below and is made pursuant to the Logitech International S.A. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan. Subject to Section 20(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to the Participant named below the number of Restricted Stock Units corresponding to Shares specified below, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan, which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference:

Participant’s Name:		[NAME]
Grant Date:		[GRANT DATE]
Performance Period:	From:	[START DATE]
	To:	[END DATE]
Total Number of Restricted Stock Units granted (subject to adjustment under Section 2 or 3):		[UNITS]

2. Vesting, Performance Conditions and Adjustment.

(a) Vesting. As soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) shall determine the vested percentage of the total number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and upon such determination the corresponding vested percentage of the total number of Restricted Stock Units granted shall vest. Such percentage shall be calculated pursuant to the following table:

TSR Percentile Rank:	Vested Percentage:
75th or higher	150%
60th	100%
30th	50%
Below 30th	\0%

The vested percentage attributable to a TSR Percentile Rank between the 30^th and 60^th percentiles, or between the 60^th and 75^th percentiles, shall be determined by straight-line interpolation. In no event shall any Restricted Stock Units vest under this Section 2 after the Participant’s termination of Service.

(b) TSR Percentile Rank. The term “TSR Percentile Rank” shall mean the Company’s TSR for the Performance Period expressed as a percentile rank relative to the TSR for the Performance Period of all companies included in the NASDAQ 100 Index as of the close of the Performance Period. The term “TSR” shall mean the quotient of (i) the Average Price of the applicable issuer’s Shares at the end of the Performance Period minus the Average Price of such issuer’s Shares at the beginning of the Performance Period plus any ordinary or extraordinary dividends paid by such issuer during the Performance Period divided by (ii) the Average Price of such issuer’s Shares at the beginning of the Performance Period. TSR expressed as a formula shall be as follows:

TSR = (Average Price_end – Average Price_begin + Dividends) / Average Price_begin

“Average Price” shall mean the average closing price over the 30 consecutive trading days ending with (and including) the applicable day. In calculating TSR, all dividends shall be assumed to have been reinvested in Shares when paid.

(c) Committee Determination. The Committee shall determine the Company’s TSR Percentile Rank, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant and the Company. The Committee, at its sole discretion, may make appropriate adjustments in the vesting conditions set forth in Subsection (a) above in order to account for extraordinary events.

3. Change in Control.

(a) Acceleration of Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall immediately vest if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control before a Separation from Service occurs and (ii) within 12 months after such Change in Control a Separation from Service occurs because (A) the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or (B) the Participant resigns for Good Reason. The vested percentage of such Restricted Stock Units shall be determined pursuant to Subsection (b) below.

(b) Vested Percentage. If Subsection (a) above applies, the vested percentage of the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined as soon as reasonably practicable after the Separation from Service. If the Change in Control occurred within 12 months after the Grant Date set forth in Section 1 (the “Grant Date”), then the vested percentage of the Restricted Stock Units shall be 100%. If the Change in Control occurred more than 12 months after the Grant Date, then the vested percentage of the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined pursuant to Section 2 as if the Performance Period had ended on the date of the Change in Control. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company’s successor (the “Successor Committee”) shall determine the Company’s TSR Percentile Rank as of the date of the Change in Control, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Participant and the Company’s successor. The Successor Committee, at its sole discretion, may make appropriate adjustments in the vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) above in order to account for extraordinary events, including (without limitation) any effects related to the Change in Control.

(c) Effect of Merger. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation or reorganization, the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall be subject to Section 16 of the Plan; provided that any action taken pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan shall either (i) preserve the exemption of this Award from Section 409A of the Code or (ii) comply with Section 409A of the Code.

2

(d) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Section 3:

(i) Cause. The term “Cause” shall mean (A) any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Participant in connection with his or her responsibilities as a Participant that is intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Participant, (B) the Participant’s conviction of a felony that the Board reasonably believes has had or will have a material detrimental effect on the Company’s reputation or business, (C) a willful act by the Participant that constitutes misconduct and is injurious to the Company or (D) continued willful violations by the Participant of the Participant’s obligations to the Company after there has been delivered to the Participant a written demand for performance from the Company that describes the basis for the Company’s belief that the Participant has not substantially performed his or her duties.

(ii) Change in Control. The term “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(A) A merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;

(B) The complete liquidation of the Company;

(C) The sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

(D) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) becoming the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities.

(iii) Good Reason. The term “Good Reason” shall mean (A) a substantial reduction of the facilities and perquisites (including office space and location) available to the Participant immediately prior to such reduction, without the Participant’s express written consent and without good business reasons, (B) a material reduction of the Participant’s base salary, (C) a material reduction in the kind or level of Participant benefits to which the Participant is entitled immediately prior to such reduction, with the result that the Participant’s overall benefits package is significantly reduced, (D) the relocation of the Participant to a facility or location more than 30 miles from his or her current location, without the Participant’s express written consent, or (E) the Company’s failure to obtain the assumption by any successor of the Company of the Change of Control Severance Agreement between the Participant, the Company and the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”). Clause (C) above shall not apply in the event of any reduction of the amount of the bonus actually paid but shall apply in the event of a material reduction of the target bonus or bonus opportunity. A condition shall not be

3

considered “Good Reason” unless the Participant gives the Company (or a successor of the Company, if applicable) written notice of such condition within 90 days after such condition comes into existence and the Company (or a successor of the Company, if applicable) fails to remedy such condition within 30 days after receiving the Participant’s written notice.

(iv) Separation from Service. The term “Separation from Service” shall mean a “separation from service,” as defined in the regulations under Section 409A of the Code.

4. Settlement of Vested Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Time of Settlement. The Participant’s vested Restricted Stock Units shall be settled promptly after the vested percentage of the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to this Agreement has been determined pursuant to Section 2 or 3, provided that the Company shall have no obligation to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement unless and until Participant has satisfied any applicable tax and/or other obligations pursuant to Section 10 below and such issuance otherwise complies with Applicable Laws. The foregoing notwithstanding, Restricted Stock Units shall in no event be settled later than the later of (i) the March 15 of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the vested percentage of such Restricted Stock Units was determined or (ii) the June 15 of the Company’s fiscal year after the fiscal year in which the vested percentage of such Restricted Stock Units was determined. At the time of settlement, the Participant shall receive one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit, net of applicable withholdings. The Company in its discretion may designate a brokerage firm to assist with settlement of Restricted Stock Units, or as the sole means for settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

5. Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are mere bookkeeping entries and represent only an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company to issue or deliver Shares on a future date. As a holder of Restricted Stock Units, the Participant has no rights other than the rights of a general creditor of the Company. The Restricted Stock Units carry neither voting rights nor rights to cash or other dividends. The Participant has no rights as a shareholder of the Company by virtue of the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units are settled by issuing or delivering Shares.

6. Leave of Absence. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the following provisions shall apply in the case of an authorized leave of absence by Participant:

(a) Subject to Applicable Laws and the terms of a written employment agreement, if any, between the Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary, no additional Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest after the 120^th day of the leave of absence. If Applicable Laws or the terms of a written employment agreement, if any, between the Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary provide for a later date upon which vesting may cease, then no additional Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest upon the earliest date possible under Applicable Laws or the employment agreement.

(b) If vesting has ceased under Section 6(a) and Participant subsequently returns to active Service, vesting of additional Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award shall resume upon Participant’s return to active Service.

7. Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason (including by reason of death or Disability) all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited effective on the date the Participant’s Service terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s Service terminates as a result of a Separation from Service that causes the acceleration of the vesting of the

4

Restricted Stock Units under Section 3(a), the Restricted Stock Units shall not be forfeited. The Participant’s date of termination of Service shall mean the date upon which Participant’s active Service terminates, regardless of any notice period or period in lieu of notice of termination of employment, whether expressed or implied. The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant’s active Service terminates for purposes of this Award (i.e., when the Participant has ceased active performance of services for purposes of vesting in this Award).

8. Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. If the Participant is now or is hereafter subject to the Executive Clawback Policy adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, or any similar policy providing for the recovery of Awards, Shares, proceeds, or payments to Participant in the event of fraud or other circumstances, then this Award, and any Shares or proceeds therefrom resulting from settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, are subject to potential recovery by the Company or the Employer under the circumstances set out in the Executive Clawback Policy or such other similar policy as in effect from time to time.

9. Suspension or Cancellation for Misconduct. If at any time (including after vesting but before settlement) the Administrator reasonably believes that the Participant has committed an act of misconduct as described in this Section 9, the Administrator may suspend the vesting or settlement of Restricted Stock Units, pending a determination of whether an act of misconduct has been committed. If the Administrator determines that the Participant has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty, or if the Participant makes an unauthorized disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or induces any customer to breach a contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, then this Agreement shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding. Any determination by the Administrator with respect to the foregoing shall be final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties. If the Participant holds the title of Vice President or above, the determination of the Administrator shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

10. Responsibility for Taxes.

(a) Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

(b) Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their

5

respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (1) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (2) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (3) withholding in Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(c) Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

11. Compliance with Applicable Laws; No Company Liability. No Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units unless such issuance or delivery complies with Applicable Laws. The Company shall not be liable to the Participant or other persons as to (a) the non-issuance or delivery of Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance or delivery of any Shares hereunder and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by the Participant or other person due to the receipt, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.

12. Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units and this Agreement may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will, by the laws of descent or distribution or, if the Company permits, by a written beneficiary designation. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns of the Participant.

13. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or the Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

14. Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;

(b) the grant of the Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units, even if Restricted Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future Restricted Stock Units grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

6

(d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further Service with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment relationship at any time;

(e) the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(f) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which are outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any;

(g) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(h) the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company ;

(i) the grant of the Restricted Stock Units and the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;

(j) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(k) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units resulting from termination of the Participant’s Service by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and, in consideration of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waives the ability, if any, to bring any such claim and releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and

(l) the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits under the Plan, if any, will not necessarily transfer to another company in the case of a merger, take over or transfer of liability.

15. Data Privacy.

(a) The Participant hereby consents to the collection, processing, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal information (the “Data”) regarding the Participant’s employment, the nature and amount of the Participant’s compensation and the fact and conditions of the Participant’s participation in the Plan (including the Participant’s name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, compensation, nationality and job title, details of all options, shares or other entitlement to securities awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding under the Plan or predecessor plans),

7

by and among the Company and one or more its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan and in calculating the cost of the Plan.

(b) The Participant further consents to the transfer of the Data to UBS AG and/or its affiliates (“UBS”), or to any other third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, or in calculating the costs of the Plan, including any other third party assisting with the settlement of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan or with whom Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or cash from the sale of such Shares may be deposited. The Participant further consents to the processing, possession, use and transfer of the Data by UBS and such other third parties for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan and in calculating the cost of the Plan.

(c) The Participant understands and agrees that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ countries may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country, and the Participant consents to the transfer of the Data to such countries. Furthermore, the Participant acknowledges and understands that the transfer of the Data to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to UBS or any such third parties, is necessary for the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(d) The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data or require any necessary amendments to Data or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative in writing. The Participant further acknowledges that withdrawal of consent may affect the Participant’s ability to realize benefits from the Restricted Stock Units and the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.

16. Exchange Control Acknowledgement. Local foreign exchange laws may affect the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the receipt of Shares upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the sale of Shares received upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units and/or the receipt of dividends or dividend equivalents (if any). Such laws may affect the Participant’s ability to hold funds outside of the Participant’s country and may require the repatriation of any cash, dividends or dividend equivalents received in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. The Participant is responsible for being aware of and satisfying any exchange control requirements that may be necessary in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will be responsible for such requirements or liable for the failure on the Participant’s part to know and abide by the requirements that are the Participant’s responsibility. The Participant should consult with his or her own personal legal advisers to ensure compliance with local laws.

17. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of a declaration of a stock dividend, a stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar event affecting the Shares or other securities of the Company, the Administrator shall equitably adjust the number and kind of Restricted Stock Units or other securities which are subject to this Agreement, in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits under this Agreement.

18. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules of Switzerland (the Company’s jurisdiction of organization).

8

19. Language. If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

20. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

21. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

22. Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units and any Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix to this Agreement for the Participant’s country. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.

23. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

APPENDIX

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant under the Plan if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed below. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.

This Appendix also includes information regarding securities law and other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities law and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of November 2010. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that the Restricted Stock Units vest or the Participant sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of a particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to the Participant’s situation.

Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently working or transfers employment between countries after the Grant Date, the Participant may be subject to the special terms and conditions for more than one country and/or the information for more than one country may be applicable to the Participant. It is also possible that the special terms and conditions and the information may not be applicable to the Participant in such a case.

There are no country specific provisions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investment Securities

Note 5 — Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investment Securities

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

The Company's investment securities consist of marketable securities related to a management deferred compensation plan and auction rate securities collateralized by residential and commercial mortgages.

The marketable securities are classified as non-current trading investments and do not have maturity dates. Since participants in the management 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 $13.1 million as of March 31, 2011, 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 (expense), net.

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. Four of the securities with par value of $32.2 million and estimated fair value of $0.9 million have experienced events of default, and two of these four securities have declared acceleration. The auction rate securities are currently rated below investment grade. The Company does not expect to realize the proceeds, if any, from these securities until a future auction of these securities is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. The auction rate securities are reported at estimated fair value at March 31, 2011 and 2010 of $1.7 million and $1.0 million. 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 are discounted at the rate of return required by investors, based on the characteristics of each security as calculated from the indices. The par value of the auction rate securities at March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $47.5 million. Declines in fair value of the auction rate securities are deemed other-than-temporary and are included in other income (expense), net. Increases in fair value are deemed not-other-than-temporary and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The following table presents the changes in fair value of the Company's auction rate securities during fiscal years 2011 and 2010:

Shareholders' Equity

Note 10 — Shareholders' Equity

Share Capital

The Company's nominal share capital is CHF 47,901,655, consisting of 191,606,620 shares with a par value of CHF 0.25 each, all of which were issued and 12,433,614 of which were held in treasury as of March 31, 2011.

In September 2008, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation which decreased the conditional capital reserved for potential issuance on the exercise of rights granted under the Company's employee equity incentive plans from 60,661,860 shares to 25,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors determined that the reduced amount of conditional capital, together with a portion of its shares held in treasury, was adequate to cover employee equity incentives without impacting the ability of the Company to maintain employee equity incentive plans.

In September 2008, the shareholders also approved the creation of conditional capital representing the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares to cover any conversion rights under a future convertible bond issuance. This conditional capital was created in order to provide financing flexibility for future expansion, investments or acquisitions.

Dividends

Pursuant to Swiss corporate law, Logitech International S.A. may only pay dividends in Swiss francs. The payment of dividends is limited to certain amounts of unappropriated retained earnings (CHF 507.7 million or $554.6 million based on exchange rates at March 31, 2011) and is subject to shareholder approval.

Legal Reserves

Under Swiss corporate law, a minimum of 5% of the Company's annual net income must be retained in a legal reserve until this legal reserve equals 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding aggregate par value per share capital. These legal reserves represent an appropriation of retained earnings that are not available for distribution and totaled $10.5 million at March 31, 2011 (based on exchange rates at March 31, 2011).

Additionally, under Swiss corporate law, the Company is required to establish a reserve equal to the amount of treasury shares repurchased at year-end. The reserve for treasury shares, which is not available for distribution, totaled $307.6 million at March 31, 2011.

Share Repurchases

During fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had the following approved share buyback programs in place (in thousands):

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 fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands).

As of March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.8 million of share-based compensation cost was capitalized to inventory. 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):

Time-based RSUs		29,775		48
Performance-based RSUs		13,330		33
Total compensation cost not yet recognized	$	98,796

Under the 1996 ESPP and 2006 ESPP plans, eligible employees may purchase shares at the lower of 85% of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of each six-month offering period. Subject to continued participation in these plans, purchase agreements are automatically executed at the end of each offering period. An aggregate of 16,000,000 shares was reserved for issuance under the 1996 and 2006 ESPP plans. As of March 31, 2011, a total of 1,643,369 shares were available for issuance under these plans.

The 2006 Plan provides for the grant to eligible employees and non-employee directors of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs (restricted stock units), which are bookkeeping entries reflecting the equivalent of shares. Awards under the 2006 Plan may be conditioned on continued employment, the passage of time or the satisfaction of performance vesting criteria. The 2006 Stock Plan has an expiration date of June 16, 2016. Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan generally vest over three years for non-executive Directors and over four years for employees. All stock options under this plan have terms not exceeding ten years and are issued at exercise prices not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Time-based RSUs granted to employees under the 2006 Plan vest in four equal annual installments on the grant date anniversary. Time-based RSUs granted to non-executive board members under the 2006 Plan vest in one annual installment on the grant date anniversary. Performance-based RSUS granted under the 2006 Plan vest at the end of the performance period upon meeting certain share price performance criteria measured against market conditions. The performance period is three years for performance-based RSU grants made in fiscal year 2011 and two years for performance-based RSU grants made in fiscal years 2010 and 2009. An aggregate of 17,500,000 shares was reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. As of March 31, 2011, a total of 4,493,291 shares were available for issuance under this plan.

The total pretax intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $23.1 million, $15.0 million and $33.2 million and the tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from options exercised during those periods was $7.6 million, $3.9 million and $8.5 million. The total fair value of options vested as of March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $74.3 million, $66.4 million and $57.7 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 applying the following assumptions and values:

	Year ended March 31,
	2011		2010		2009		2011		2010		2009
	Purchase Plans						Stock Option Plans
Dividend yield		0%		0%		0%		0%		0%		0%
Expected life		6 months		6 months		6 months		4 years		3.3 years		3.7 years
Expected volatility		35%		59%		63%		48%		47%		36%
Risk-free interest rate		0.16%		0.19%		1.23%		1.57%		1.64%		2.40%

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. 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 volatility using daily prices over the term of past options or purchase offerings. The Company considers historical share price volatility 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:

	Year ended March 31,
	2011			2010			2009			2011			2010			2009
	Purchase Plans									Stock Option Plans
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted	$	4.26		$	4.23		$	5.46		$	6.11		$	6.66		$	6.25
Expected forfeitures		0	%		0	%		0	%		9	%		9	%		7	%

The following table summarizes significant ranges of outstanding and exercisable options as of March 31, 2011 (in thousands except per share data; exercise prices and contractual lives are weighted averages):

	Options Outstanding								Options Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices	Number		Exercise Price		Contractual Life (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Number		Exercise Price		Contractual Life (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
$  1.00 - $11.45		2,870	$	9		3.8	$	27,256		2,359	$	9		2.9	$	20,768

$  1.00 - $50.00		16,312					$	43,107		11,205					$	28,277

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on options with an exercise price less than the Company's closing price of $18.13 at March 31, 2011, which would have been received by the option holders had these option holders exercised their options as of that date. The total number of fully vested in-the-money options exercisable as of March 31, 2011 was 4,883,941. As of March 31, 2011, 5,107,861 options were unvested, of which 4,648,154 are expected to vest, based on an estimated forfeiture rate of 9%.

A summary of the Company's time- and performance-based RSU activity for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (in thousands, except per share values; grant-date fair values are weighted averages):

	Year ended March 31,
	2011					2010					2009
	Number			Grant Date Fair Value		Number			Grant Date Fair Value		Number		Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding, beginning of year		514		$	18		94		$	28		—	$	—
Time-based RSUs granted		1,599		$	20		267		$	15		—	$	—
Performance-based RSUs granted		538		$	28		115		$	18		94	$	28
Assumed in LifeSize acquisition		—		$	—		54		$	5		—	$	—

Outstanding, end of year		2,370		$	21		514		$	18		94	$	28

The Company estimates the fair value of the time-based RSUs based on the share market price on the date of grant. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model applying the following assumptions:

	FY 2011 Grants		FY 2010 Grants		FY 2009 Grants
Dividend yield		0%		0%		0%
Expected life		3 years		2 years		2 years
Expected volatility		51%		58%		41%
Risk-free interest rate		0.81%		1.11%		1.82%

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and future expectations of dividend payouts. 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 US Treasury Bonds for a term of the same number of years as the expected life.

As of March 31, 2011, the grant date fair values of outstanding RSUs ranged from $14 to $28 per RSU, and the weighted average contractual life was 3.8 years.

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 fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, were $8.9 million, $8.2 million and $8.3 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 Company recognizes the underfunded or overfunded status of defined benefit pension plans and non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and recognizes changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of shareholders' equity. Each plan's assets and benefit obligations are measured approximately as of March 31.

The net periodic benefit cost of the defined benefit pension plans and the non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows (in thousands):

	Year ended March 31,

The Company reassesses its benefit plan assumptions on a regular basis. The actuarial assumptions for the pension plans for fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

	2011				2010
	Benefit Obligation		Periodic Cost		Benefit Obligation		Periodic Cost
Discount rate		2.00% to 3.75%		2.00% to 3.75%		2.00% to 3.25%		2.00% to 3.00%
Estimated rate of compensation increase		3.00% to 5.00%		2.50% to 5.00%		2.50% to 5.00%		2.50% to 5.00%
Expected average rate of return on plan assets		1.00% to 4.00%		1.00% to 4.75%		1.00% to 4.75%		1.00% to 4.25%

The discount rate is estimated based on corporate bond yields or securities of similar quality in the respective country, with a duration approximating the period over which the benefit obligations are expected to be paid. The Company bases the compensation increase assumptions on historical experience and future expectations. The expected average rate of return for the Company's defined benefit pension plans represents the average rate of return expected to be earned on plan assets over the period that the benefit obligations are expected to be paid, based on government bond notes in the respective country, adjusted for corporate risk premiums as appropriate.

The following table reflects the benefit payments that the Company expects the plans to pay in the periods noted (in thousands):

Year ending March 31,
2012	$	3,898
2013		4,024
2014		4,058
2015		4,018
2016		4,217
Thereafter		19,360
	$	39,575

The Company expects to contribute approximately $4.1 million to its defined benefit pension plans during fiscal year 2012.

Deferred Compensation Plan

One of the Company's subsidiaries offers a management deferred compensation plan which permits eligible employees to make 100%-vested salary and incentive compensation deferrals within established limits. The Company does not make contributions to the plan. Prior to December 2010, the participants' deferrals were invested in Company-owned life insurance contracts held in a Rabbi Trust. In December 2010, the Company surrendered the life insurance contracts for cash, and invested the proceeds of $11.3 million, in addition to $0.8 million in cash held by the Rabbi Trust, investment earnings and employee contributions, in a Company-selected portfolio of marketable securities, which are also held by the Rabbi Trust.

The fair value of the deferred compensation plan's assets is included in other assets in the statements of financial position. The marketable securities are classified as trading investments and are recorded at a fair value of $13.1 million as of March 31, 2011, based on quoted market prices. Earnings, gains and losses on trading investments are included in other income (expense), net. The cash surrender value of the insurance contracts was approximately $10.4 million and trust cash balances were $0.7 million as of March 31, 2010. Expenses and gains or losses related to the insurance contracts are included in other income (expense), net.

The unsecured obligation to pay the compensation deferred, adjusted to reflect the positive or negative performance of investment options selected by each participant, was approximately $13.1 million and $10.3 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010 and was included in other liabilities.

Goodwill, ending balance	$	547,184		$	553,462

Additions to goodwill during fiscal year 2011 related to our acquisition of Paradial. Additions to goodwill during fiscal year 2010 primarily related to our acquisitions of LifeSize and TV Compass. The divestiture relates to goodwill associated with the 3Dconnexion entities which were sold on March 31, 2011. The adjustment to goodwill in fiscal year 2010 represents an adjustment of the deferred tax asset recognized in connection with the acquisitions of SightSpeed, Inc. and the Ultimate Ears companies.

Logitech maintains discrete financial information for LifeSize and accordingly, the acquired goodwill related to the LifeSize acquisition is separately evaluated for impairment at the entity level. The Company has fully integrated the Paradial business into LifeSize, and discrete financial information for Paradial is not maintained. Accordingly, the acquired goodwill related to Paradial is evaluated for impairment at the LifeSize entity level.

The Company has fully integrated the TV Compass business into the Company's other operations, and discrete financial information for TV Compass is not maintained. Accordingly, the acquired goodwill related to TV Compass is evaluated for impairment at the total enterprise level.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment analyses of our operating segments during its fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. Based on the impairment analyses performed, the fair value of each of our operating segments exceeded the carrying value of the segment by more than 50% of the carrying value.

The Company's acquired other intangible assets subject to amortization were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2011							March 31, 2010

During fiscal year 2011, changes in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets related primarily to our acquisition of Paradial. During fiscal year 2010, changes in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets related primarily to our acquisitions of LifeSize and TV Compass.

For fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, amortization expense for other intangible assets was $27.8 million, $14.5 million and $8.2 million. The Company expects that annual amortization expense for the fiscal years ending 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 will be $26.0 million, $23.1 million, $16.9 million, $8.2 million, and $0.4 million thereafter.

Note 6 — Acquisitions and Divestitures

Paradial

On July 6, 2010, Logitech acquired substantially all of the assets and employees of Paradial AS, a Norwegian company providing firewall and NAT (network address translation) traversal solutions for video communications. The acquisition will allow the Company to closely integrate firewall and NAT traversal across its video communications product portfolio, enabling end-to-end HD video calling over highly protected networks. The acquisition has been treated as an acquisition of a business and has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total consideration paid of $7.3 million was allocated based on estimated fair values to $7.0 million of identifiable intangible assets and $0.1 million of assumed liabilities, with the remaining balance allocated to goodwill. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

LifeSize

On December 11, 2009, pursuant to a merger agreement signed November 10, 2009, Logitech acquired LifeSize Communications, Inc., an Austin, Texas-based privately-held company specializing in high definition video communication products and services. Logitech expects the acquisition to drive growth in video communication for the enterprise and small-to-medium business markets by leveraging the two companies' technology expertise, including camera design, firewall traversal, video compression and bandwidth management.

The total consideration paid to acquire LifeSize was $382.8 million, not including cash acquired of $3.7 million. In addition, Logitech incurred $6.6 million in transaction costs, which are included in operating expenses. Logitech paid $382.3 million in cash to the holders of all outstanding shares of LifeSize capital stock, all vested options issued by LifeSize, and all outstanding warrants to purchase LifeSize stock. As part of the acquisition, Logitech assumed all outstanding unvested LifeSize stock options and unvested restricted stock held by continuing LifeSize employees at December 11, 2009. The assumed options are exercisable for a total of approximately 1.0 million Logitech shares and the assumed restricted stock was exchanged for 0.1 million Logitech shares. The stock options and restricted stock continue to have the same terms and conditions as under LifeSize's option plan. The fair value attributable to precombination employee services for the stock options assumed, which is part of the consideration paid to acquire LifeSize, was $0.5 million. The weighted average fair value of $12.07 per share for the stock options assumed was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected term of 2.0 years, expected volatility of 57%, and risk-free interest rate of 0.7%.

The total cash consideration paid of $382.3 million included $37.0 million deposited into an escrow account as security for indemnification claims under the merger agreement and $0.5 million deposited in a stockholder representative expense fund. The escrow trustee disbursed 50% of the escrow fund to the former holders of LifeSize capital stock, vested options and warrants in December 2010, and the remaining fifty percent will be disbursed in June 2011, subject to indemnification claims.

In connection with the merger, Logitech also agreed to establish a cash and stock option retention and incentive plan for certain LifeSize employees, linked to the achievement of LifeSize performance targets. The duration of the plan's performance period is two years, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The total available cash incentive is $9.0 million over the two year performance period. As of March 31, 2011, approximately $5.6 million has been accrued for this cash incentive. In December 2009, options to purchase 850,000 Logitech shares were issued in connection with the retention and incentive plan.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the total consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by Logitech management based on information available at the date of acquisition.

The allocation of total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of LifeSize was as follows (in thousands):

	December 11, 2009			Estimated Life
Tangible assets acquired	$	33,635
Deferred tax asset, net		8,828
Intangible assets acquired
Existing technology		30,000		4 years
Patents and core technology		4,500		3 years
Trademark/trade name		7,600		5 years
Customer relationships and other		31,500		5 years
Goodwill		307,241		—
		423,304
Liabilities assumed		(26,985	)
Debt assumed		(13,505	)
Total consideration	$	382,814

The deferred tax asset primarily relates to the tax benefit of a net operating loss carryforward, net of the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets. The existing technology of LifeSize relates to the platform technology used in LifeSize's high-definition video conferencing systems. The value of the technology was determined based on the present value of estimated expected cash flows attributable to the technology, assuming the highest and best use by a market participant. The patents and core technology represent awarded patents, filed patent applications and core architectures, trade secrets or processes used in LifeSize's current and planned future products. Trademark/trade name relates to the LifeSize brand names. The value of the patents, core technology and trademark/trade name was estimated by capitalizing the estimated profits saved as a result of acquiring or licensing the asset. Customer relationships and other relates to the ability to sell existing, in-process, and future versions of the technology and services to LifeSize's existing customer base, valued based on projected discounted cash flows generated from customers in place. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the opportunities and economies of scale from combining the operations and technologies of Logitech and LifeSize. This goodwill is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The debt that Logitech assumed as part of the acquisition was repaid in full on December 18, 2009.

Unaudited pro forma financial information

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Logitech and LifeSize during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 as though the acquisition took place as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The pro forma financial information also includes certain adjustments such as amortization expense from acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and restricted stock assumed, depreciation adjustments from alignment of the companies' policies related to property, plant and equipment, interest expense related to debt assumed, expense related to retention bonuses, pre-acquisition transaction costs, and the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma financial information presented below (in thousands except per share amounts) is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented.

TV Compass

On November 27, 2009, Logitech acquired certain assets from TV Compass, Inc., a Chicago, Illinois-based company providing video software and services for the Web and mobile devices. The acquisition has been treated as an acquisition of a business and has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total consideration paid of $10.0 million was allocated based on estimated fair values to $4.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, with the balance allocated to goodwill. Fair values were determined by Company management based on information available at the date of acquisition. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 6 years. The goodwill results from expected incremental revenue from the use of the acquired technology in enhancing our products. The goodwill is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. In addition, Logitech incurred $0.3 million in transaction costs, which are included in operating expenses.

SightSpeed

In October 2008, the Company acquired SightSpeed Inc., a privately held company providing high-quality Internet video communications services. The acquisition of SightSpeed provided Logitech with video calling technology and a software and services development team that is focused on future video calling initiatives to enable cross-platform video communications.

Total consideration paid was $30.9 million, which includes $0.8 million in transaction costs. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of SightSpeed.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the total consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by Company management based on information available at the date of acquisition. The results of operations of SightSpeed were included in Logitech's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and were not material to the Company's reported results.

The allocation of total consideration, including transaction costs, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of SightSpeed was as follows (in thousands):

	November 3, 2008			Estimated Life
Tangible assets acquired	$	370
Deferred tax asset, net		6,622
Intangible assets acquired
Existing technology		800		5 years
Patents and core technology		2,700		5 years
Trademark/trade name		200		2 years
Customer relationships and other		1,200		4.9 years
In-process research and development		1,000		—
Goodwill		18,751		—
		31,643
Liabilities assumed		(756	)
Total consideration	$	30,887

The deferred tax asset relates to the tax benefit of a net operating loss carryforward, net of the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets. The existing technology of SightSpeed relates to internet video communications services that allow users to make video calls, computer-to-computer voice calls, and calls to regular telephones with free and prepaid versions. In-process research and development had not reached technological feasibility at the time of the acquisition and had no further alternative uses, and was expensed immediately to research and development expense upon consummation of the acquisition. The value of the technology was determined based on the present value of estimated expected cash flows attributable to the technology. The patents and core technology represent awarded patents, filed patent applications and core architectures used in SightSpeed's current and planned future products. Trademark/trade name relates to the SightSpeed brand names. The value of the patents, core technology and trademark/trade name was estimated by capitalizing the estimated profits saved as a result of acquiring or licensing the asset. Customer relationships and other relates to the ability to sell existing, in-process, and future versions of the technology to SightSpeed's existing customer base, valued based on projected discounted cash flows generated from customers in place. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Ultimate Ears

In August 2008, the Company acquired the Ultimate Ears companies, a privately held group of companies offering a range of earphones for portable-music enthusiasts as well as a line of custom-fit in-ear monitors for music professionals. The acquisition is part of the Company's strategy to expand its portfolio of digital audio products, providing more options for portable music listening.

Total consideration paid was $34.5 million, which includes $0.7 million in transaction costs. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Ultimate Ears for $33.8 million, including a $6.9 million holdback provision relating to potential indemnification claims, of which $6.1 million has been disbursed and $0.8 million is recorded as a liability as of March 31, 2011. The holdback provision has been included as part of the purchase price allocation below.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the total consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by Company management based on information available at the date of acquisition. The results of operations of Ultimate Ears were included in Logitech's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and were not material to the Company's reported results.

The allocation of total consideration, including transaction costs, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Ultimate Ears was as follows (in thousands):

	August 19, 2008			Estimated Life
Tangible assets acquired	$	4,132
Intangible assets acquired
Existing technology		5,900		4 years
Patents and core technology		1,900		4 years
Trademark/trade name		2,900		5 years
Customer relationships and other		2,500		5 years
Goodwill		25,254		—
		42,586
Liabilities assumed		(2,845	)
Deferred tax liability, net		(5,235	)
Total consideration	$	34,506

The existing technology of Ultimate Ears relates to the technical components used in the in-ear monitors and earplugs. The value of the technology was determined based on the present value of estimated expected cash flows attributable to the technology. The patents and core technology represent awarded patents, filed patent applications and core architectures used in Ultimate Ears' current and planned future products. Trademark/trade name relates to the Ultimate Ears brand names. The value of the patents, core technology and trademark/trade name was estimated by capitalizing the estimated profits saved as a result of acquiring or licensing the asset. Customer relationships and other relates to Ultimate Ears' existing customer base, valued based on projected discounted cash flows generated from customers in place. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The deferred tax liability relates to the acquired intangible assets which are also not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

3Dconnexion

On March 31, 2011, the Company sold its equity interest in certain 3Dconnexion subsidiaries, the provider of the Company's 3D controllers, and its intellectual property rights related to the manufacture and sale of certain 3Dconnexion products, to a group of third party individuals and certain 3Dconnexion employees. The sale price was $9.1 million, not including cash retained. Under the sale agreement, the Company will continue to manufacture 3Dconnexion products and sell to the buyers for a period of three years. The loss resulting from the sale was not material.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented.

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

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.

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.

Foreign Currencies

The functional currency of the Company's operations is primarily the U.S. dollar. To a lesser extent, certain operations use the euro, Chinese renminbi, Swiss franc or the local currency of the country as their functional currencies. The financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and monthly average rates for revenues and expenses. Cumulative translation gains and losses are included as a component of shareholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary's functional currency are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statement of income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

• evidence of an arrangement exists between the Company and the customer;

• delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss transfer to the customer;

• the price of the product is fixed or determinable; and

• collectibility of the receivable is reasonably assured.

For sales of most hardware peripherals products and hardware bundled with software incidental to its functionality, these criteria are met at the time delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer.

For multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements that include both undelivered software elements and hardware with software essential its functionality, the Company began using the following hierarchy as of April 1, 2010 to determine the relative selling price for allocating revenue to the deliverables: (i) VSOE (vendor specific objective evidence) of fair value, if available; (ii) TPE (third party evidence), if VSOE is not available; or (iii) ESP (estimated selling price), if neither VSOE or TPE is available. Management judgment must be used to determine the appropriate deliverables and associated relative selling prices. The Company has identified Logitech Revue and the LifeSize video conferencing products as products sold with software components that qualify as multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.

The sale of Logitech Revue consists of three deliverables: hardware with essential software delivered at the time of sale, standalone hardware, and unspecified upgrades to the essential software delivered on a when-and-if-available basis. The relative selling price of the hardware with essential software is based on ESP, using the cost-plus margin method. The relative selling price of the standalone hardware is based on VSOE from sales of the product on a standalone basis. As future unspecified upgrades to the essential software are not sold on a standalone basis by Logitech or its competitors, the ESP for future upgrades is estimated as a percentage of the total market price for similar software products sold by third parties which include upgrade rights. Amounts allocated to the delivered hardware and essential software are recognized at the time of sale provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. Amounts allocated to the future unspecified software upgrade rights are deferred and recognized ratably over the estimated 24-month life of the hardware.

LifeSize products include the following deliverables:

• Hardware with software essential to the functionality of the hardware device delivered at time of sale;

• Non-essential software;

• Maintenance for hardware with essential software, including future, when-and-if available unspecified upgrades;

• Maintenance for non-essential software, including future, when-and-if available unspecified upgrades;

• Other services including training and installation.

The relative selling price for LifeSize hardware with essential software and non-essential software is based on ESP, as VSOE and TPE cannot be established due to variable price discounting. Key factors considered in developing ESP are historical selling prices of the product, pricing of substantially similar products, and other market conditions. LifeSize sells maintenance for non-essential software, maintenance for hardware with essential software, and other services on a standalone basis, and therefore has established VSOE for those deliverables. Amounts allocated to the delivered hardware with essential software and non-essential software are recognized at the time of sale provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. Amounts allocated to maintenance are deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Amounts allocated to other services are deferred and recognized upon completion of services. Prior to adopting the selling price hierarchy on April 1, 2010, LifeSize had established VSOE for all undelivered elements, which continued to be used as the relative selling price.

Separately priced maintenance contracts and extended service revenue on other Logitech hardware and software products are recognized ratably over the service period.

Revenues from sales to distributors and authorized resellers are recognized net of estimated product returns and expected payments for cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. The estimated cost of these programs is accrued in the period the Company sells the product or commits to the program as a reduction of revenue or as an operating expense, if we receive a separately identifiable benefit from the customer and can reasonably estimate the fair value of that benefit. Significant management judgment and estimates must be used to determine the cost of these programs in any accounting period.

The Company grants limited rights to return product. Return rights vary by customer, and range from just the right to return defective product to stock rotation rights limited to a percentage approved by management. Estimates of expected future product returns are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical return trends by customer and by product, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information. Return trends are influenced by product life cycle status, new product introductions, market acceptance of products, sales levels, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality, product quality issues, competitive pressures, operational policies and procedures, and other factors. Return rates can fluctuate over time, but are sufficiently predictable to allow us to estimate expected future product returns.

The Company enters into customer marketing programs with many of our distribution and retail customers, and with certain indirect partners, allowing customers to receive a credit equal to a set percentage of their purchases of the Company's products, or a fixed dollar credit for various marketing programs. The objective of these programs is to encourage advertising and promotional events to increase sales of our products. Accruals for these marketing programs are recorded at the time of sale, or time of commitment, based on negotiated terms, historical experience and inventory levels in the channel.

Customer incentive programs include performance-based incentives and consumer rebates. The Company offers performance-based incentives to its distribution customers, retail customers and indirect partners based on pre-determined performance criteria. Allowances for performance-based incentives are recognized as a reduction of the sale price at the time of sale. Estimates of required allowances are determined based on negotiated terms, consideration of historical experience, anticipated volume of future purchases, and inventory levels in the channel. Consumer rebates are offered from time to time at the Company's discretion for the primary benefit of end-users. Estimated costs of consumer rebates and similar incentives are recorded at the time the incentive is offered, based on the specific terms and conditions. Certain incentive programs, including consumer rebates, require management to estimate the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive based on historical experience and the specific terms and conditions of particular programs.

The Company has agreements with certain of its customers that contain terms allowing price protection credits to be issued in the event of a subsequent price reduction. At management's discretion, the Company also offers special pricing discounts to certain customers. Special pricing discounts are usually offered only for limited time periods or for sales of selected products to specific indirect partners. Management's decision to make price reductions is influenced by product life cycle stage, market acceptance of products, the competitive environment, new product introductions and other factors. Estimates of expected future pricing actions are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical pricing actions by customer and by products, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information, such as stage of product life-cycle.

The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of the accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. Future market conditions and product transitions may require the Company to take action to increase such programs. In addition, when the variables used to estimate these costs change, or if actual costs differ significantly from the estimates, the Company would be required to record incremental reductions to revenue or increase operating expenses. If, at any future time, the Company becomes unable to reasonably estimate these costs, recognition of revenue might be deferred until products are sold to end-users, which would adversely impact revenue in the period of transition.

The Company's shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

Research and Development Costs

Costs related to research, design and development of products, which consist primarily of personnel, product design and infrastructure expenses, are charged to research and development expense as they are incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $184.8 million, $118.1 million and $161.5 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009. Advertising costs are recorded as either a marketing and selling expense or a deduction from revenue. Advertising costs reimbursed by the Company to a customer must have an identifiable benefit and an estimable fair value in order to be classified as an operating expense. If these criteria are not met, the cost is classified as a reduction of revenue.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions to limit exposure with any one financial institution, but is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by financial institutions to the extent that cash balances with individual financial institutions are in excess of amounts that are insured.

The Company sells to large OEMs, distributors and key retailers and, as a result, maintains individually significant receivable balances with such customers. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, one customer represented 13% and 14% of total accounts receivable. 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.

The Company's OEM customers tend to be well-capitalized, multi-national companies, while distributors and key retailers may be less well-capitalized. The Company manages its accounts receivable credit risk through ongoing credit evaluation of its customers' financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required payments. The allowances are based on the Company's regular assessment of the credit worthiness and financial condition of specific customers, as well as its historical experience with bad debts and customer deductions, receivables aging, current economic trends, geographic or country-specific risks and the financial condition of its distribution channels.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records write-downs of inventories which are obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or market value based on a consideration of marketability and product life cycle stage, product development plans, component cost trends, demand forecasts, historical sales, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Investments

The Company's investment securities portfolio consists of bank time deposits, marketable securities related to a management deferred compensation plan, and auction rate securities collateralized by residential and commercial mortgages.

The bank time deposits are classified as cash equivalents, and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

The marketable securities are classified as non-current trading investments, and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Earnings, gains and losses on trading investments are included in other income (expense), net.

The auction rate securities are classified as non-current available-for-sale assets, and are recorded at estimated fair value. Declines in fair value of the auction rate securities are deemed other-than-temporary and are included in other income (expense), net. Increases in fair value are deemed temporary and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes the cost of software developed for internal use in connection with major projects. Costs incurred during the feasibility stage are expensed, whereas costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method. Plant and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives from ten to twenty-five years, equipment over useful lives from three to five years, software development over useful lives of three to five years and leasehold improvements over the life of the lease, generally not exceeding five years. Beginning in fiscal year 2011, tooling is depreciated using the straight-line method over the forecasted life of the tool, not to exceed one year from the time it is placed into production. Prior to fiscal year 2011, depreciation for tooling was calculated based on the forecasted production volume and adjusted quarterly based on actual production.

When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the net gain or loss is included in the determination of net income.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company's intangible assets principally include goodwill, acquired technology, trademarks, customer contracts and customer relationships, and other. Intangible assets with finite lives, which include acquired technology, trademarks, customer contracts and customer relationships, and other, are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from one year to ten years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which include goodwill, are recorded at cost and evaluated at least annually for impairment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as investments, property and equipment, and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amounts might not be recoverable. Recoverability of investments, property and equipment, and other intangible assets is measured by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with those assets to their carrying values. If an asset is considered impaired, it is written down to fair value, which is determined based on the asset's projected discounted cash flows or appraised value, depending on the nature of the asset.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. 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 the impairment loss.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events are taken into consideration, with the exception of potential tax law or tax rate changes.

The Company's assessment of uncertain tax positions requires that management make estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company's estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on the Company's income tax provision and its results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities. The Company's trading investments are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices, and available-for-sale securities are reported at estimated fair value.

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average outstanding shares. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average outstanding shares and dilutive share equivalents. Dilutive share equivalents consist of share-based compensation awards, including stock options and restricted stock.

The dilutive effect of in-the-money share-based compensation awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the amount used to repurchase shares includes the amount the employee must pay for exercising share-based awards, the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized for future service, and the amount of tax impact that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense includes compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, for share-based compensation awards granted after April 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value. The grant date fair value for stock options and stock purchase rights is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The grant date fair value of RSUs (restricted stock units) which vest upon meeting certain market conditions is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation method. The grant date fair value of time-based RSUs is calculated based on the share market price on the date of grant. For stock options and restricted stock assumed by Logitech when LifeSize was acquired, the grant date used to estimate fair value is deemed to be December 11, 2009, the date of acquisition. Compensation expense for awards granted or assumed after April 1, 2006 is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of four years (single-option approach) for stock options and one to four years for RSUs.

For share-based compensation awards granted prior to but not yet vested as of April 1, 2006, share-based compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model reduced for estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense for these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period for each separately vesting portion of the award (multiple-option approach).

Tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options are classified as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Excess tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to share-based compensation costs for such options.

The Company will recognize a benefit from share-based compensation in paid-in capital only if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other available tax attributes have been utilized. For income tax footnote disclosure, the Company has elected to offset deferred tax assets against the valuation allowance related to the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards from accumulated tax benefits. The Company will recognize these tax benefits in paid-in capital when the deduction reduces cash taxes payable. In addition, the Company has elected to account for the indirect benefits of share-based compensation on the research tax credit through the income statement (continuing operations) rather than through paid-in capital.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the total change in shareholders' equity during the period other than from transactions with shareholders. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders' equity. Other comprehensive income is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments from those entities not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities, net deferred gains and losses and prior service costs for defined benefit pension plans, and net deferred gains and losses on hedging activity.

Treasury Shares

The Company periodically repurchases shares in the market at fair value. Treasury shares repurchased are recorded at cost, as a reduction of total shareholders' equity. Treasury shares held are reissued to satisfy the exercise of employee stock options and purchase rights, and the vesting of restricted stock units.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables or payables and to hedge against exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to its subsidiaries' forecasted inventory purchases. These forward contracts generally mature within one to three months. The Company may also enter into foreign exchange swap contracts to extend the terms of its foreign exchange forward contracts.

Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of our forward contracts related to forecasted inventory purchases 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. Gains or losses in fair value on forward contracts which offset translation losses or gains on foreign currency receivables or payables are recognized in earnings monthly and are included in other income (expense), net.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued ASU 2010-28, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, ASU 2010-28 requires performance of an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of impairment. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2010. Logitech will adopt ASU 2009-28 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The impact of adopting ASU 2010-28 will not be known until the Company performs its evaluations of goodwill impairment.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. ASU 2010-29 specifies that, for material business combinations when comparative financial statements are presented, revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-09 also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-09 is effective prospectively for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. We will adopt this guidance for acquisitions beginning in fiscal year 2012.

Note 3 — Net Income per Share

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

	Year ended March 31,
	2011		2010		2009
Net income — basic and diluted	$	128,460	$	64,957	$	107,032
Weighted average shares — basic		176,928		177,279		178,811
Effect of dilutive stock options		1,862		2,061		4,100
Weighted average shares — diluted		178,790		179,340		182,911
Net income per share — basic	$	0.73	$	0.37	$	0.60
Net income per share — diluted	$	0.72	$	0.36	$	0.59

Employee equity share options, non-vested shares 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.

During fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, 13,705,406, 15,186,997 and 10,567,217 share equivalents attributable to outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the combined exercise price, average unamortized fair value and assumed tax benefits upon exercise of these options and RSUs were greater than the average market price of the Company's shares, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table illustrates the dilution effect of share-based awards granted, assumed and exercised (in thousands):

	Year ended March 31
	2011			2010			2009
Basic weighted average shares outstanding as of March 31		176,928			177,279			178,811
Stock options and RSUs granted		2,431			3,902			4,239

Stock options and RSUs canceled, forfeited, or expired		(1,411	)		(1,440	)		(1,163	)

Grant dilution (1)		0.6	%		2.0	%		1.7	%
Stock options exercised and RSUs vested		2,889			1,980			2,037
Exercise dilution (2)		1.6	%		1.1	%		1.1	%

(1) The percentage of grant dilution is computed based on net awards granted and assumed as a percentage of basic weighted average shares outstanding.

(2) The percentage of exercise dilution is computed based on options exercised as a percentage of basic weighted average shares outstanding.

Termination benefits incurred pursuant to the 2009 Restructuring Plan were calculated based on regional benefit practices and local statutory requirements. Asset impairments were recorded to write down fixed assets that were not placed in service due to the abandonment of the related projects. Contract termination costs related to exit costs associated with the closure of existing facilities. Other charges primarily consisted of pension curtailment and settlement costs of $3.4 million which are reflected in other charges in the preceding table, as the corresponding balance sheet amounts were reflected as a reduction of pension assets.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements

The Company considers fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes the following three-level fair value hierarchy to establish the priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value:

• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, classified by the level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments - Foreign Exchange Hedging

Derivative Financial Instruments - Foreign Exchange Hedging

Derivative Financial Instruments - Foreign Exchange Hedging

Note 14 — Derivative Financial Instruments — Foreign Exchange Hedging

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 three 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 losses were immaterial during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. 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 $54.9 million (€38.7 million) and $46.2 million (€34.3 million) at March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 March 31, 2011 and 2010 relating to foreign currency receivables or payables were $12.9 million and $15.1 million. Open forward contracts as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $17.1 million and $38.9 million. Swap contracts outstanding at March 31, 2011 consisted of contracts in Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, and Mexican pesos. Swap contracts outstanding at March 31, 2010 consisted of contracts in British pounds, Japanese yen, Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars.

The fair value of all our foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts is determined based on quoted foreign exchange forward rates. Quoted foreign exchange forward rates are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair values of the Company's derivative instruments and their locations on the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

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 March 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

Year ending March 31,

Rent expense was $19.8 million, $16.3 million and $15.5 million for the years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

In May, 2011 we signed a new lease for facilities which will house our Americas operations in Northern California, replacing our leased facilities in Fremont, California. Our future contractual obligation in connection with this lease is approximately $35 million over an 11 year period.

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 years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Asset retirement obligation, end of year	$	1,636		$	1,374

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 years ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31,
	2011			2010
Warranty liability, beginning of year	$	3,002		$	2,867

Purchase Commitments

At March 31, 2011, the Company had the following outstanding purchase commitments:

	March 31, 2011
Inventory purchases	$	165,286
Operating expenses		49,839
Capital expenditures		10,724
Total purchase commitments	$	225,849

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 September 2011. Operating expense commitments are for consulting services, marketing arrangements, advertising, outsourced customer services and other services. Fixed purchase commitments for capital expenditures primarily related to commitments for manufacturing equipment and tooling. 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

The Company has guaranteed the purchase obligations of some of its contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers to certain component suppliers. These guarantees generally have a term of one year and are automatically extended for one or more years as long as a liability exists. The amount of the purchase obligations of these manufacturers varies over time, and therefore the amounts subject to Logitech's guarantees similarly vary. At March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding guaranteed purchase obligations. The maximum potential future payments under two of the three guarantee arrangements is limited to $30.0 million. The third guarantee is limited to purchases of specified components from the named suppliers. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid under these guarantee arrangements.

Logitech International S.A., the parent holding company, has guaranteed certain contingent liabilities of various subsidiaries related to specific transactions occurring in the normal course of business. The maximum amount of the guarantees was $54.7 million as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, $10.3 million was outstanding under these guarantees. The parent holding company has also guaranteed the purchases of one of its subsidiaries under three guarantee agreements. Two of these guarantees do not specify a maximum amount. The third guarantee is limited to $7.0 million. As of March 31, 2011, $4.9 million was outstanding under these guarantees.

Indemnifications

Logitech indemnifies some of its suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property rights 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 March 31, 2011. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid under its indemnification arrangements.

Letters of Credit

Logitech provides various third parties with irrevocable letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure its obligations to pay or perform pursuant to the requirements of an underlying agreement or the provision of goods and services. These standby letters of credit are cancelable only at the option of the beneficiary who is authorized to draw drafts on the issuing bank up to the face amount of the standby letter of credit in accordance with its terms. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $0.7 million of letters of credit in place, of which $0.1 million was outstanding. These letters of credit relate primarily to equipment purchases by a subsidiary in China, and expire between April and December 2011.

Acquisition Earn-Out

In November 2007, the Company acquired WiLife, Inc., a privately held company offering PC-based video cameras for self-monitoring a home or a small business. The purchase agreement provided for a performance-based payment, payable in the first calendar quarter of 2011, based on net revenues attributed to WiLife during calendar 2010. Because the minimum performance threshold was not met, no performance-based payment is due under the WiLife acquisition agreement.

Legal Proceedings

On May 23, 2011, a class action complaint was filed against Logitech and certain of its officers. This action was filed 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.

In addition, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims relating to commercial matters that arise in the normal course of business.

The Company believes these lawsuits and claims are without 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's accruals for lawsuits and claims as of March 31, 2011 were not material.

The video conferencing segment consists of the LifeSize division, and encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of video conferencing products, infrastructure and services for the enterprise, public sector and other business markets. The video conferencing operating segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure of financial information. The Company's operating segments do not record revenue on sales between segments, as such sales are not material.

Operating performance measures for the peripherals segment and the video conferencing segment are reported separately to Logitech's Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the Company's chief operating decision maker. These operating performance measures do not include share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and assets by operating segment. Share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets are presented in the following financial information by operating segment as "all other."

The Company negotiated a tax holiday on certain earnings in China which was effective from January 2006 through December 2010. The tax holiday was a tax exemption aimed to attract foreign technological investment in China. The tax holiday decreased income tax expense by approximately $3.6 million, $2.4 million, and $4.0 million for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009. The benefit of the tax holiday on net income per share (diluted) was approximately $0.02, $0.01 and $0.02 in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009.

On December 17, 2010, the enactment in the U.S. of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 extended retroactively through the end of calendar year 2011 the U.S. federal research and development credit, which had expired on December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the Company's income tax provision for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 includes a tax benefit of $2.2 million related to the U.S. federal research tax credit.

The U.S. state of California has enacted legislation affecting the methodology which must be used by corporate taxpayers to apportion income to California. These changes will become effective for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. The Company anticipates that the election to use only sales in apportioning income to California will lower the effective state tax rate in the future. The Company's income tax provision as of March 31, 2011 reflects an income tax expense of $0.4 million from adjustments to deferred tax assets resulting from the change in the effective state tax rate.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

	March 31,
	2011			2010
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	33,029		$	40,878
Tax credit carryforwards		5,645			3,367
Accruals		35,172			35,346
Depreciation and amortization		12,310			11,473
Share-based compensation		21,997			17,438
Valuation allowance		(2,309	)		—
Gross deferred tax assets		105,844			108,502
Deferred tax liabilities:
Acquired intangible assets		(24,013	)		(37,264	)
Gross deferred tax liabilities		(24,013	)		(37,264	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	81,831		$	71,238

The current and deferred tax provision is calculated based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed. Adjustments for differences between the tax provisions and tax returns are recorded when identified, which is generally in the third or fourth quarter of the subsequent year.

Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets recorded in the Company's entities based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as recent earnings history and expected future taxable income. In the event that future taxable income is below management's estimates or is generated in tax jurisdictions different than projected, the Company could be required to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. This would result in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate.

The Company established $2.3 million of valuation allowance in fiscal year 2011. In March 2011, the Company sold its equity interest in certain 3Dconnexion subsidiaries, and its intellectual property rights related to the manufacture and sale of certain 3Dconnexion products, to a group of third party individuals and certain 3Dconnexion employees. A full valuation allowance of $2.2 million was provided for $5.7 million of capital loss carryforward from the sale of 3Dconnexion Inc. in the U.S. as the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the Company would not generate adequate capital gains in the next five years before the capital loss expires under the U.S. tax law. The remaining valuation allowance of $0.1 million represents a full valuation allowance for certain foreign tax credit carryforwards in the U.S.

Deferred tax assets relating to tax benefits of employee stock option grants and RSUs have been reduced to reflect exercises in fiscal years 2011 and 2010. Some exercises resulted in tax deductions in excess of previously recorded benefits based on the option value at the time of grant ("windfalls"). Although these additional tax benefits are reflected in net operating loss carryforwards, the additional tax benefit associated with the windfall is not recorded until the deduction reduces cash taxes payable. During fiscal years 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a credit to equity of $4.8 million and $0.3 million.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had foreign net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes of $285.9 million and $25.4 million. Approximately $121.7 million of the net operating loss carryforwards and $20.2 million of the tax credit carryforwards, if realized, will be credited to equity since they have not met the applicable realization criteria. A full valuation allowance has been provided for foreign tax credits of $0.1 million. Unused net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates in fiscal years 2014 to 2031, and the tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire in fiscal year 2012.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $5.7 million for which a full valuation allowance has been provided. The loss will begin to expire in fiscal year 2016.

Swiss income taxes and non-Swiss withholding taxes associated with the repatriation of earnings or for other temporary differences related to investments in non-Swiss subsidiaries have not been provided for, as the Company intends to reinvest the earnings of such subsidiaries indefinitely or the Company has concluded that no additional tax liability would arise on the distribution of such earnings. If these earnings were distributed to Switzerland in the form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares of the relevant non-Swiss subsidiaries were sold or otherwise transferred, the Company may be subject to additional Swiss income taxes and non-Swiss withholding taxes. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $138.1 million and $125.2 million, of which $118.2 million and $101.4 million would affect the effective income tax rate if realized. The Company classified the unrecognized tax benefits as non-current income taxes payable.

The aggregate changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were as follow (in thousands):

Beginning balance as of March 31, 2008	$	92,647
Lapse of statute of limitations		(1,978	)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during the current period		6,958
Balance as of March 31, 2009	$	97,627
Lapse of statute of limitations		(3,667	)
Decreases in balances related to tax positions taken during prior periods		(229	)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during prior periods		2,690
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during the current period		17,207
Balance as of March 31, 2010	$	113,628
Lapse of statute of limitations		(4,760	)
Settlements with tax authorities		(6,290	)
Increases in balances related to tax positions taken during the current period		27,550
Balance as of March 31, 2011	$	130,128

The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. The Company recognized $1.3 million, $1.9 million and $1.8 million in interest and penalties in income tax expense during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009. As of March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had approximately $8.0 million, $12.5 million and $10.7 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 the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service expanded its examination of the Company's U.S. subsidiary to include fiscal years 2008 and 2009 in addition to fiscal years 2006 and 2007. At this time it is not possible to estimate the potential impact that the examination may have on income tax expense. The Company is also under examination in other jurisdictions.

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. Although the timing of the resolution or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.
