Logitech International Reports Q1 Growth Amid Supply Chain Challenges
Logitech International reported a 5% increase in first-quarter net sales on a constant-currency basis, reaching $1.2 billion and marking its 10th consecutive quarter of growth. The company saw strong performance from pointing devices, video collaboration tools, and gaming products, with the Americas region growing by 11%. CEO Hanneke Faber noted continued demand for premium products like the MX Master 4 mouse and PRO X 2 SUPERLIGHT gaming mouse. Despite these gains, Logitech faces near-term supply chain disruptions due to a semiconductor supplier's facility shutdown. This is expected to reduce second-quarter revenue by about CHF 20 million and potentially cut third-quarter revenue by up to CHF 200 million. The company forecasts flat or slightly positive constant-currency sales growth for the next quarter but anticipates resolution of these issues by Q4. Logitech also highlighted its B2B focus, with over 70% of Fortune 500 companies using its video conferencing products. AI is seen as a long-term tailwind in this segment.
