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 help connect people to digital and cloud experiences. Over forty years ago, Logitech created products to improve experiences around the personal computer ("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, e-tailers and enterprise customers, 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 Hautemorges, 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 ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and therefore do not include all the information required by U.S. 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, 2022, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 18, 2022. 

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 and nine months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, or any future periods.

Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

Other than the recent accounting pronouncements adopted and discussed below under Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended December 31, 2022 compared with the significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

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 and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions, contingent consideration for a business acquisition and periodic reassessment of its fair value, valuation of investment in privately held companies classified under Level 3 fair value hierarchy, pension obligations, accruals for customer incentives, cooperative marketing, and pricing programs and related breakage when appropriate, inventory valuation, share-based compensation expense, uncertain tax positions, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Although these

9

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 those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

Impacts of Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions and Other Factors on the Company's Business

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the world. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in industry-wide global supply chain challenges, including manufacturing, transportation and logistics. The Company purchases certain products and key components from a limited number of sources, and depends on the supply chain, including freight, to receive components, transport finished goods and deliver the Company's products across the world.

More recently, the Company has also been impacted by adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. These conditions include but are not limited to inflation, foreign currency fluctuations, and slowdown of economic activity around the world, in part due to rising interest rates, and lower consumer and enterprise spending. In addition, the war in Ukraine increased global supply chain, logistics, and inflationary challenges. Such global or regional economic and political conditions adversely affect demand for the Company's products. These conditions also have an impact on the Company's suppliers, contract manufacturers, logistics providers, and distributors, causing volatility in cost of materials and shipping and transportation rates, and as a result impacting the pricing of the Company's products. Price increases may not successfully offset cost increases or may cause the Company to lose market share and in turn adversely impact the Company's results of operations.

While global supply chain challenges have improved since the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, including logistics costs and shipping lead times, the increase of COVID-19 infections in China during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 causes uncertainty in supply availability. If macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions and COVID-19 related factors do not improve or worsen, the Company's results of operations will continue to be adversely impacted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2021-08). The update requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted the standard effective April 1, 2022 and applies the standard prospectively to business combinations that occurred on or after April 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 — Net Income Per Share

The following table summarizes the computations of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Net income	$	140,153	$	210,011	$	323,080	$	536,308
Shares used in net income per share computation:
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic	161,244		167,090		163,042		167,953
Effect of potentially dilutive equivalent shares	1,285		2,617		1,385		3,074
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted	162,529		169,707		164,427		171,027

Share equivalents attributable to outstanding stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and employee share purchase plans ("ESPP") totaling 1.6 million and 0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 2.0 million and 0.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. A small number of performance-based awards were not included in the calculation because all necessary conditions had 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 December 31, 2022, the Company offers the 2006 Employee Share Purchase Plan (Non-U.S.), as amended and restated ("2006 ESPP"), the 1996 Employee Share Purchase Plan (U.S.), as amended and restated ("1996 ESPP"), and the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan ("2006 Plan") as amended and restated. Shares issued to employees as a result of purchases or exercises under these plans are generally issued from shares held in treasury stock.

The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense and total income tax benefit recognized for share-based awards for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Income tax benefit	(3,276)		(3,581)		(7,496)		(23,460)
Total share-based compensation expense, net of income tax benefit	$	12,529	$	21,211	$	44,244	$	49,005

The income tax benefit in the respective periods primarily consisted of tax benefits 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.

11

Share-based compensation costs capitalized as part of inventory were $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $4.4 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 of $2.7 million and $3.4 million recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $8.3 million and $10.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 income tax provision for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $42.7 million and $87.8 million, based on an effective income tax rate of 23.3% and 21.4% of pre-tax income, respectively. The income tax provision for the same periods ended December 30, 2021 was $49.3 million and $107.8 million, based on an effective income tax rate of 19.0% and 16.7% of pre-tax income, respectively.

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. There were discrete tax benefits of $0.2 million and $1.4 million from the recognition of excess tax benefits in the United States in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, there were discrete tax benefits of $1.7 million and $3.2 million from the reversal of uncertain tax positions from the expiration of statutes of limitations, respectively, in the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2022. The change in the effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. There were discrete tax benefits of $0.8 million and $15.2 million from the recognition of excess tax benefits in the United States in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Furthermore, there were discrete tax benefits of $1.3 million and $2.8 million from the reversal of uncertain tax positions from the expiration of statutes of limitations, respectively, in the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions was $184.0 million and $176.0 million, respectively, all of which would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized.

As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had $117.6 million and $83.4 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 December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had $5.2 million and $3.6 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 2023, 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

12

positions may decrease by as much as $4.3 million from the lapse of the statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months.

On August 16, 2022, the “Inflation Reduction Act” (H.R. 5376) ("IRA") was signed into law in the United States. The IRA establishes a new corporate alternative minimum tax based on financial statement income adjusted for certain items. The new minimum tax is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the IRA will have a material impact to the Company's financial statements when it becomes effective.

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.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding assets related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, classified by the level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
