NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company
 
Logitech International S.A, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (Logitech or the Company) designs, manufactures and markets products that have an everyday place in people's lives, connecting them to the digital experiences they care about. More than 35 years ago, Logitech created products to improve experiences around the personal PC platform, and today it is a multi-brand, multi-category company designing products that enable better experiences consuming, sharing and creating any digital content such as computing, gaming, video and music, whether it is on a computer, mobile device or in the cloud. 
The Company sells its products to a broad network of domestic and international customers, including direct sales to retailers and e-tailers and indirect sales through distributors.
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 and headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, which conducts its business through subsidiaries in the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific. Shares of Logitech International S.A. are listed on both the SIX Swiss Exchange under the trading symbol LOGN and the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol LOGI.

Basis of Presentation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Logitech and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and therefore do not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 27, 2020. 

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary and in all material aspects, for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, or any future periods.

Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

Other than the recent accounting pronouncements adopted and discussed below under Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve fair value of goodwill and intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions, valuation of right-of-use assets, valuation of investment in privately held companies classified under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, pensions obligations, warranty liabilities, accruals for customer incentives, cooperative marketing, and pricing programs (Customer Programs) and related breakage when appropriate, accrued sales return liability, inventory valuation, share-based compensation expense, uncertain tax positions, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. 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 materially from these estimates.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the measures taken by many countries in response have contributed to a general slowdown in the global economy and adversely affected, and could in the future continue to adversely affect, the Company's business and operations. Capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and it is still unclear how lasting and deep the economic impacts will be. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, as well as in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had mixed effects on the Company’s results of operations, and it may continue to have mixed or adverse effects. While there was high demand and consumption of certain of our products that led to increased sales and operating income during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, at the same time the Company experienced disruptions to supply chain and logistics services, inventory constraints and increased logistics costs. The ongoing and full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business and operational and financial performance and condition is uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company's control, including but not limited to the timing, extent, duration and effects of the virus and any of its mutations, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of effective public safety and other protective measures, the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and demand for the Company's products and services. Should the COVID-19 pandemic or global economic slowdown not improve or worsen, or if the Company's attempt to mitigate its impact on its operations and costs is not successful, the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13), which was further updated and clarified by the FASB through issuance of additional related ASUs, replaces the incurred-loss impairment methodology and requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets, including trade receivables. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company updated its credit loss models to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (CECL) model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable. The cumulative effect adjustment from adoption was not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.  

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements" (ASU 2018-13), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, including eliminating the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and requiring the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. Some of these disclosure changes must be applied prospectively while others retrospectively depending on requirement. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefits Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans" (ASU 2018-14), which requires that the Company remove various disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, namely amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year. Further, ASU 2018-14 requires disclosure or clarification of the reasons for significant gains or losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2020 using a retrospective approach and the updated disclosures will be included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements To Be Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" (ASU 2019-12), which eliminates certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. This ASU also includes guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt the standard effective April 1, 2021.

Note 2 — Net Income Per Share

Share equivalents attributable to outstanding stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and employee share purchase rights (ESPP) totaling 1.4 million and 2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the combined exercise price and average unamortized grant date fair value upon exercise of these options and ESPP or vesting of RSUs were greater than the average market price of the Company's shares during the periods presented herein, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The majority of performance-based awards were not included because all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the respective period, and those shares were not issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance contingency period.
 
Note 3 — Employee Benefit Plans
 
Employee Share Purchase Plans and Stock Incentive Plans
 
As of June 30, 2020, the Company offers the 2006 Employee Share Purchase Plan, as amended and restated (Non-U.S.) (2006 ESPP), the 1996 Employee Share Purchase Plan (U.S.), as amended and restated (1996 ESPP), the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (2006 Plan), and the 2012 Stock Inducement Equity Plan (2012 Plan).

The income tax benefit in the respective period primarily consists of tax benefit related to the share-based compensation expense for the period and direct tax benefit realized, including net excess tax benefits recognized from share-based awards vested or exercised during the period.

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the balance of capitalized share-based compensation included in inventory was $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
 
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 costs recorded of $2.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were primarily related to service costs.
 
Note 4 — 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 (benefit from) income taxes are generated outside of Switzerland.

The canton of Vaud enacted the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing ("TRAF"), a major reform to better align the Swiss tax system with international tax standards on March 10, 2020 to take effect as of January 1, 2020. The longstanding tax ruling from the canton of Vaud was applicable through December 31, 2019.

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $14.0 million based on an effective income tax rate of 16.3% of pre-tax income, compared to an income tax provision of $6.5 million based on an effective income tax rate of 12.6% of pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions which the Company operates. The Swiss income tax provision in each period represents the income tax provision at the full statutory income tax rate of 13.63%. In the three months ended June 30, 2019 when TRAF was yet to be enacted at the federal and cantonal levels, the transition income tax provision was quantified at the full statutory income tax rate of 13.63% because at the time the canton of Vaud permitted the application of the longstanding tax ruling only through March 31, 2019. There were discrete tax benefits of $5.0 million and $1.0 million from the recognition of excess tax benefits in the United States and reversal of uncertain tax positions from the expiration of statutes of limitations, respectively, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, compared with $5.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions was $144.2 million and $140.8 million, respectively, all of which would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized.

As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company had $44.3 million and $40.8 million, respectively, in non-current income taxes payable including interest and penalties, related to the Company's income tax liability for uncertain tax positions.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the income tax provision. As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company had $4.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in non-current income taxes payable.
 
Although the Company has adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions related to these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. During fiscal year 2021, the Company continues to review its tax positions and provide for or reverse unrecognized tax benefits as they arise. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease significantly due to changes in tax law in various jurisdictions, new tax audits and changes in the U.S. dollar as compared to other currencies. Excluding these factors, uncertain tax positions may decrease by as much as $4.7 million from the lapse of the statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
 
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.

(1) As of June 30, 2020, the earn-out period is complete. The earn-out payment of $29.0 million is based on the actual net sales of Streamlabs services and no longer subject to fair value measurement and was accordingly transferred out of Level 3. The expected earn-out payment is included in the accrued and other current liabilities of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Investment Securities
 
The marketable securities for the Company's deferred compensation plan were recorded at a fair value of $22.9 million and $20.1 million, as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains (losses) related to trading securities for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were not material and are included in other income, net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Contingent Consideration for Business Acquisition

On October 31, 2019 (the "Streamlabs Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired all of the equity interests of General Workings, Inc. ("Streamlabs"). The contingent consideration for business acquisition arising from the Streamlabs Acquisition represents the future potential earn-out payments of $29.0 million payable in stock only upon the achievement of certain net sales for the period beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2020. The fair value of the earn-out as of the Streamlabs Acquisition Date was $0.04 million, and increased to $23.3 million as of March 31, 2020, which was determined by using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to calculate the probability of the earn-out threshold being met and times the value of the earn-out payment, and discounted at

Table of Contents

the risk-free rate. The valuation included significant assumptions and unobservable inputs such as the projected sales of Streamlabs over the earn-out period, the risk-free rate, and the net sales volatility. The fair value was increased by $5.7 million to $29.0 million as of June 30, 2020, based on actual sales. The stock payout is expected to be $29.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration no longer needs to be remeasured at each reporting period, as the earn-out period has been completed.

Equity Method Investments

The Company has certain non-marketable investments included in other assets that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with a carrying value of $42.3 million and $42.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Financial Assets.  The Company has certain investments without readily determinable fair values due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity, and the fact that inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable and require management's judgment. When certain events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist, the Company revalues the investments using various assumptions, including the financial metrics and ratios of comparable public companies. The carrying value is also adjusted for observable price changes with a same or similar security from the same issuer. The amount of these investments included in other assets as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 was $3.9 million. There was no impairment of these assets during the three months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.

Non-Financial Assets. Goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and notes receivable, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or tested at least annually for goodwill) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment and an impairment is recorded to reduce the non-financial instrument's carrying value to the fair value as a result of such triggering events, the non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for the period such triggering events occur. There was no impairment of these assets during the three months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.
 
Note 7 — Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Under certain agreements with the respective counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts, subject to applicable requirements, the Company is allowed to net settle transactions of the same type with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. However, the Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments was not material as of June 30, 2020 or March 31, 2020. The amount of gain (loss) recognized on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was not material in all periods presented herein. The following table presents the amounts of gains (losses) on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments and their locations on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges
 
The Company enters into cash flow hedge contracts to protect against exchange rate exposure of forecasted inventory purchases. These hedging contracts mature within four months. 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. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Hedging relationships are discontinued when hedging contract is no longer eligible for hedge accounting, or is sold, terminated or exercised, or when Company removes hedge designation for the contract. Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of the discontinued hedges continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, unless it is probable that the forecasted inventory purchases will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter. In all periods presented herein, there have been no forecasted inventory purchases that were probable to not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter. The notional amounts of foreign currency exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $93.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and $48.0 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company had $2.9 million of net losses related to its cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2020 which will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
 
Other Derivatives
 
The Company also enters into foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts to reduce the short-term effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain receivables or payables denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of its subsidiaries. These contracts generally mature within one month. The primary risk managed by using forward and swap contracts is the currency exchange rate risk. The gains or losses on these contracts are recognized in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the changes in fair value. The notional amounts of these contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 were $73.3 million and $64.7 million, respectively. Open forward and swap contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 consisted of contracts in Mexican Pesos, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollars, Taiwan New Dollars and Australian Dollars to be settled at future dates at pre-determined exchange rates.
 
The fair value of all foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts is determined based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates. Cash flows from these contracts are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 8 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company conducts its impairment analysis of goodwill annually at December 31 and as necessary, if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit may be less than its carrying amount. There have been no events or circumstances during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have required the Company to perform an interim assessment of goodwill.

There are no financial covenants under these lines of credit with which the Company must comply. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding bank guarantees of $28.5 million under these lines of credit.

Indemnifications
 
The Company indemnifies certain of its suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes 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. As of June 30, 2020, no amounts have been accrued for these indemnification provisions. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under its indemnification arrangements.
 
The Company also indemnifies its current and former directors and certain of its current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these exposures are not limited, the obligations are conditional in nature and the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable.

Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is currently subject to several such claims and a small number of legal proceedings. The Company believes that these matters lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that resolution of pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the Company’s defenses will be successful or that any such lawsuit or claim would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations in a particular period. Any claims or proceedings against the Company, whether meritorious or not, can have an adverse impact because of defense costs, diversion of management and operational resources, negative publicity and other factors. Any failure to obtain a necessary license or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims, could adversely affect the Company’s business.

Note 11 — Shareholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2017 share buyback program, which authorized the Company to use up to $250.0 million to purchase up to 17.3 million shares of its own shares. This share buyback program expired in April 2020. The Company did not repurchase any of its registered shares during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

In May 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2020 share buyback program, which authorized the Company to use up to $250.0 million to purchase up to 17.3 million of its own shares. The new program will, upon implementation, replace the Company’s prior 2017 share buyback program. The Company's share buyback program is expected to remain in effect for a period of three years from its implementation. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, through block trades or otherwise. Purchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors.

Our products participate in five large market opportunities: Creativity & Productivity, Gaming, Video Collaboration, Music and Smart Home. We sell our products to a broad network of domestic and international customers, including direct sales to retailers and e-tailers, and indirect sales through distributors. Our worldwide channel network includes consumer electronics distributors, retailers, mass merchandisers, specialty stores, computer and telecommunications stores, value-added resellers and online merchants.
From time to time, we may seek to partner with or acquire when appropriate companies that have products, personnel, and technologies that complement our strategic direction. We continually review our product offerings and our strategic direction in light of our profitability targets, competitive conditions, changing consumer trends and the evolving nature of the interface between the consumer and the digital world.
Impacts of COVID-19 to Our Business
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the world. The spread of COVID-19 has caused public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus and, in certain markets in which we operate, government authorities have issued orders that require the closure of non-essential businesses and people to be quarantined or to shelter-at-home. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly curtailed global economic activity, caused significant volatility and disruption in global financial and commercial markets, and is likely to lead to recessionary pressures for an indeterminate amount of time. We are conducting our business with substantial modifications, such as employee work locations and remote work among other changes. We are continuing to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that could alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities in the countries in which we operate, or that we determine are in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers or shareholders. It is not clear what the potential effects of COVID-19 or any such modifications or alterations may have on our business, results of operations, financial operations, financial condition and stock price.
During February 2020, following the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in China, we experienced disruptions to our manufacturing, supply chain and logistics services, resulting in temporary inventory declines and an increase in logistics costs. We continued to see disruptions to our supply chain and logistics services, inventory constraints and increased logistics costs during the remainder of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 as we attempted to address the effects of COVID-19, including health-related issues, changing regulations, and increased demand for and depleted inventories of some of our products. At the same time, due to the ongoing shelter-at-home requirements or recommendations in many countries, there was high demand and consumption of certain of our products that led to increased sales and operating income. While it is not yet clear how long the positive demand dynamics will continue, we expect the increased logistics costs and other adverse effects on our gross margins from COVID-19 to continue through the remainder of fiscal year 2021. It is difficult to predict the progression, the duration and all of the effects of COVID-19, when business closure and shelter-at-home guidelines may be eased or lifted, and how consumer demand, inventory and logistical effects and costs may evolve over time, or the impact on our future sales and results of operations. Some of this impact will undoubtedly occur over multiple financial periods and may have a lag effect between periods, such as what we are able to manufacture in one period affecting sales, channel inventory or logistics costs in subsequent periods. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and our operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors outside our control. For additional information, see "Liquidity and Capital resources" below and "Item IA: Risk Factors", including under the caption "The full effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and cannot be predicted, and the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic."
Summary of Financial Results

Our total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 23%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, due to stronger sales across all regions and several of our product categories from increased remote work and distance learning set-ups, related to various shelter-at-home mandates. The results of operations for Streamlabs have been included in our consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date. Streamlabs contributed 2 points to the sales growth during the period.

Our sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 21%, 18% and 31% in the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific, respectively, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Our gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 150 basis points to 38.6% from 37.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in gross margin was driven by lower customer incentive programs, favorable product mix and benefits from cost savings and operational efficiencies, partially offset by COVD-19 related costs primarily due to higher logistics operations costs and unfavorable currency exchange rates.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $222.3 million, or 28.1% of sales, compared to $191.5 million, or 29.7% of sales in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $72.1 million, compared to $45.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
 
Trends in Our Business
 
Our products participate in five large multi-category market opportunities, including Creativity & Productivity, Gaming, Video Collaboration, Music and Smart Home. We see opportunities to deliver growth with products in all these markets. The following discussion represents key trends specific to our market opportunities.
Trends Specific to Our Five Market Opportunities
Creativity & Productivity:  New PC shipments remain lackluster but the installed base of PC users remains large. We believe that innovative PC peripherals, such as our mice and keyboards, can renew the PC usage experience and help improve the productivity and engagement of remote work, distance learning, and telemedicine, thus providing growth opportunities. Increasing adoption of various cloud-based applications has led to multiple unique consumer use cases, which we are addressing with our innovative product portfolio and a deep understanding of our customer base. The increasing popularity of streaming and broadcasting, as well as the rising work-from-home trend, provides additional growth opportunities for our webcam products, as well as other products in our portfolio. Smaller mobile computing devices, such as tablets, have created new markets and usage models for peripherals and accessories. We offer a number of products to enhance the use of mobile devices, including a combo backlit keyboard case for the iPad Pro and keyboard folios for other iPad models. Hybrid and distance learning environments have also created demand and growth opportunities for our education tablet keyboards and accessories.
Gaming: The PC gaming and console gaming platforms continue to show strong structural growth opportunities as online gaming, multi-platform experiences, and esports gain greater popularity and gaming content becomes increasingly more demanding and social particularly as other recreational activities have been curtained or restricted during stay-at-home mandates. The new console refresh cycle during the holiday season of 2020 could drive subsequent growth opportunities over the coming years for our ASTRO family of headsets and controllers. We believe Logitech is well positioned to benefit from the overall gaming market growth. With ASTRO Gaming, we also strengthened our portfolio in adjacent categories, such as the console controller market. Our acquisition of Streamlabs provides a solid platform to deliver recurring services and subscriptions to gamers.
Video Collaboration: The near and long-term structural growth opportunities in the video collaboration market have never been more relevant than in today’s environment, as commercial and consumer adoption of video has seen explosive growth in recent months. Video meetings are on the rise, and companies increasingly want lower-cost, cloud-based solutions that can provide their employees with the ability to work from anywhere. We are continuing our efforts to create and sell innovative products to accommodate the increasing demand from small-size meeting rooms, such as huddle rooms, to medium and large-sized meeting rooms. We are also experiencing significant demand for our enterprise-grade VC webcams and headsets. We will continue to invest in select business-specific products (both hardware and software), targeted product marketing and sales channel development.

Music: The mobile speaker market has remained soft, and has further weakened as physical retail stores have been recently closed and retail footprint has decreased significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The integration of personal voice assistants has become increasingly competitive in the speaker categories, but the market for third-party, voice-enabled speakers has not yet gained traction. Moreover, the market for mobile speakers appears to be maturing, which led to a decline in Ultimate Ears sales in the past two years. In fiscal year 2020, the wireless headphone industry continued to flourish with strong revenue growth but has slowed in recent months due to physical retail store closures. The largest growth was in true wireless headphones while traditional wireless headphones have declined significantly. Continued growth in the wireless headphone market is expected for the next several years as consumers increasingly adopt wireless headphones over wired headphones. Blue Microphones has experienced strong demand as musicians, performers and streamers increasingly look to entertain and engage with their fans on various online platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook.
Smart Home: Our remote Harmony business declined substantially in fiscal year 2020, offset by growth in our Circle 2 family of security cameras. In general, the space is under pressure as the way people consume content is changing and as retail stores have been closed. We will continue to explore other innovative experiences for the Smart Home category.
Business Seasonality, Product Introductions and Acquisitions
We have historically experienced higher sales in our third fiscal quarter ending December 31, compared to other fiscal quarters in our fiscal year, primarily due to the increased consumer demand for our products during the year-end holiday buying season and year-end spending by enterprises. Additionally, new product introductions and business acquisitions can significantly impact sales, product costs and operating expenses. Product introductions can also impact our sales to distribution channels as these channels are filled with new product inventory following a product introduction, and often channel inventory of an earlier model product declines as the next related major product launch approaches. Sales can also be affected when consumers and distributors anticipate a product introduction or changes in business circumstances. However, neither historical seasonal patterns nor historical patterns of product introductions should be considered reliable indicators of our future pattern of product introductions, future sales or financial performance. Furthermore, cash flow is correspondingly lower in the first half of the fiscal year as we typically build inventories in advance for the third quarter and we pay an annual dividend following our Annual General Meeting, which is typically in September.
Swiss Federal Tax Reform
As we described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the canton of Vaud in Switzerland enacted TRAF on March 10, 2020, effective as of January 1, 2020. Our cash tax payments have increased in Switzerland beginning in fiscal year 2020 as a result of our transition out of our longstanding tax ruling from the canton of Vaud.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates. We also discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

We believe that the assumptions, judgments and estimates involved in the accounting for accruals for customer incentives, cooperative marketing, and pricing programs (Customer Programs) and related breakage when appropriate, accrued sales return liability, inventory valuation and uncertain tax positions have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. These areas are key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules requiring us to make judgments and estimates and consequently, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recent accounting pronouncements adopted and to be adopted.

Impact of Constant Currency

We refer to our sales growth rates excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations as "constant dollar" sales growth rates. Percentage of constant dollar sales growth is calculated by translating prior period sales in each local currency at the current period’s average exchange rate for that currency and comparing that to current period sales.

Given our global sales presence and the reporting of our financial results in U.S. Dollars, our financial results could be affected by shifts in currency exchange rates. See “Results of Operations” for information on the effect of currency exchange rate results on our sales. If the U.S. Dollar appreciates or depreciates in comparison to other currencies in future periods, this will affect our results of operations in future periods as well.

References to Sales

References to “sales” mean net sales, except as otherwise specified, and the sales growth discussion and sales growth rate percentages are based on U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise specified.

Sales Denominated in Other Currencies

Although our financial results are reported in U.S. Dollars, a portion of our sales was generated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, such as the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Taiwan New Dollar, British Pound and Australian Dollar. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 48% of our sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.
Results of Operations
Net Sales
Our sales in the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 23% compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, driven by sales increases in all regions and several of our product categories from increased remote work and distance learning set-ups, as well as from various stay-at-home mandates. Strong growth sales for in Video Collaboration, Gaming, PC Webcams, Keyboards & Combos, Audio PC & Wearables, and Tablet and other Accessories and Keyboards & Combos was partially offset by a decline in sales for Mobile Speakers, Smart Home, and Pointing Devices. If currency exchange rates had been constant in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our constant dollar sales growth rate would have been 25%.
