Logitech profit and sales rise

Highlights

Logitech reports non-GAAP operating income of $231 million and sales of $1.22 billion for Q3, surpassing profit forecasts and matching revenue expectations.
Gaming product sales climb 8% with 15 new launches, and video collaboration equipment sales rise 12% driven by increased demand from U.S. and business customers.
Supply chain impact from a semiconductor supplier’s shutdown is cut to $70–80 million lost sales in Q4, but profit guidance for $220–255 million remains below last year's $312 million due to higher costs.

Quarterly earnings beat and outlook update

As reported by Reuters, Logitech reports non-GAAP operating income of $231 million for the three months to the end of September, ahead of the $204 million consensus compiled by Visible Alpha and above the company's own guidance range of $185 million to $210 million. Sales rise 3% to $1.22 billion, matching analyst expectations and landing near the top of Logitech's forecast range of $1.19 billion to $1.22 billion.

The company says growth is driven by strong performance in the United States and by demand for video collaboration and gaming products. Logitech also says profit margins rise because of a more favorable product mix and lower import tariffs into the U.S.

Gaming product sales increase 8%, supported by the launch of 15 new products during the period. Sales of video collaboration equipment rise 12% as business customers refresh workplaces while encouraging staff to return to the office.

Supply chain pressure eases but costs remain higher

Logitech says the impact from the earlier forced closure of a factory run by one of its semiconductor suppliers is lower than expected. The company originally expects the disruption to cost $200 million in lost sales in the next quarter, but now puts that impact at $70 million to $80 million after securing alternative suppliers.

The factory reopens in September, and full production is expected to resume by the end of 2026. Logitech says sales for the three months to the end of December are expected to be in the range of $1.36 billion to $1.43 billion.

The company expects non-GAAP operating income of $220 million to $255 million for that period, down from $312 million a year earlier. Logitech says higher component and transport costs, along with lost sales linked to the factory shutdown, are set to weigh on profit.
