Logitech Announces First Quarter Financial Results for FY 2014

Company Significantly Improves Profitability

 

NEWARK, Calif. July 24, 2013 and MORGES, Switzerland, July 25, 2013 — Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today announced financial results for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.

 

Sales for Q1 FY 2014 were $478 million, up 2 percent from $469 million in Q1 FY 2013, with exchange rates having no impact. Excluding those retail product categories that the Company is exiting (reported in the financial statements as “Retail — Other”), sales for Q1 FY 2014 were up 5 percent year over year. The Company posted a small operating profit compared to an operating loss of $59 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net income for Q1 FY 2014 was $ 1 million ($0.01 per share) compared to a net loss of $51 million ($0.32 per share) in the prior year. Gross margin for Q1 FY 2014 was 35.2 percent, up from 31.0 percent a year ago.

 

The Company’s total retail sales for Q1 increased by 5 percent year over year, up 12 percent in the Americas and 4 percent in Asia, and down 3 percent in EMEA. Excluding “Retail — Other,” Logitech’s retail sales for Q1 FY 2014 increased by 8 percent over the prior year. OEM sales decreased by 6 percent and sales for the LifeSize division decreased by 18 percent.

 

“These results — sales growth and significant year-over-year profitability improvement — demonstrate our turnaround is on track,” said Bracken P. Darrell, Logitech president and chief executive officer. “I’m happy to see double-digit sales growth in our Americas region. And I’m pleased with the performance in our growth categories: Combined, tablet accessories, PC gaming and wireless speakers grew about 90 percent year over year.

 

“Logitech continues to be focused on becoming faster and more profitable. We’ve shortened key product cycles and delivered early momentum for the product lines we launched into retail environments in Q1, including tablet accessories, PC gaming peripherals and our UE BOOM wireless

 



 

speaker. There is more to come. I am excited about the potential within the business and remain committed to improving our profitability in FY 2014.”

 

Outlook

 

Logitech confirmed its outlook for Fiscal Year 2014, ending March 31, 2014. The Company expects sales of approximately $2 billion, operating income of approximately $50 million and gross margin of approximately 34 percent.

Constant dollar sales (sales excluding impact of exchange rate changes), net sales excluding Retail — Other, net retail sales excluding Retail — Other, and Non-GAAP operating expense before restructuring charges .

 

We refer to our net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates as constant dollar sales. We also report non-GAAP net sales and net retail sales excluding Retail — Other sales and non-GAAP operating expenses excluding the restructuring charges.  Constant dollar sales, net sales excluding Retail — Other, net retail sales excluding Retail — Other and non-GAAP operating expenses are non-GAAP financial measures, which are 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 and  operating expenses. 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. Non-GAAP net sales excluding Retail — Other, non-GAAP net retail sales excluding Retail — Other can be reconciled to GAAP net sales by adding the amount of Retail — Other sales. Non-GAAP operating expenses before restructuring charges can be reconciled to GAAP operating expenses by adding the amount of the restructuring charges. 

 

Note 1

 

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company identified errors related to the accounting for its product warranty liability and amortization expense relating to certain intangible assets which impacted prior reporting periods, starting prior to fiscal 2009. While these errors were not material to any previously issued annual or quarterly consolidated financial statements, management concluded that correcting the errors in the current quarter would be material to the current quarter’s consolidated financial statements and to the expected results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014. Accordingly, the Company will revise its prior period annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements to correct the errors in future SEC filings.

 

In this earnings release, the Company has revised the March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 consolidated balance sheets, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to record an additional warranty liability and amortization of certain intangible assets and the related tax effects. The impact of the revision was to reduce the previously reported net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 by $0.8 million and reduce the previously reported retained earnings and shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 by $17.8 million and $18.5 million, respectively.
