Negative Points

• Operating expenses included a $23 million bad debt reserve due to issues with an e-commerce payment provider, impacting financial results.

Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you elaborate on the gross margins and the impact of tariffs and pricing on the top line for the June quarter? A: Matteo Anversa, CFO, explained that the gross margin rate is expected to decrease from 43.5% to about 41.5% due to a 200 basis points negative impact from tariffs and another 100 basis points from the absence of inventory reserve releases. These are partially offset by a 100 basis points positive impact from price increases, primarily in the US, where prices have been raised by about 10% on average.

Q: How are customers reacting to the recent price increases? A: Hanneke Faber, CEO, mentioned that it is too early to gauge customer reactions as the price increases were implemented in mid-April. However, based on previous experiences, Logitech's strong brand and superior products are expected to mitigate any negative impact.

Q: What does the shift in production away from China mean for Logitech's Suzhou facility? A: Hanneke Faber, CEO, stated that Suzhou will continue to play a significant role in production for markets outside the US. The facility remains full due to strong sales growth, and Logitech's diversified manufacturing footprint allows for flexibility in shifting production to mitigate tariff impacts.

Q: How is consumer demand tracking amid the current economic volatility? A: Hanneke Faber, CEO, noted that consumer demand remains resilient, with low single-digit market growth in the Americas and Europe, and high double-digit growth in APAC. The B2B side showed some caution, particularly in Europe, but overall demand for Logitech's products remains strong.

Q: What are the most demand-resilient products in Logitech's portfolio during uncertain macroeconomic conditions? A: Hanneke Faber, CEO, highlighted gaming products as particularly resilient, citing strong growth in China despite economic softness. Additionally, products supporting remote work, such as video conferencing tools, are expected to remain in demand as companies seek to reduce travel expenses.
