Logitech Announces Best Quarter Ever

Logitech International (SWX:LOGN) (Nasdaq:LOGI) today announced
record sales and operating profit for the third quarter of Fiscal Year
2008, ended Dec. 31, 2007. Sales were $744 million, up 13 percent from
$659 million in the same quarter last year. Operating income was $116
million, up 17 percent from $100 million for the same quarter a year
ago. Net income was $134 million ($0.71 per share), up from $94
million ($0.49 per share) one year ago. Gross margin reached an
all-time high for the company at 36.9 percent, compared to 36.2
percent in Q3 of FY 2007. Cash flow from operations was $177 million,
the highest ever for a quarter.

Logitech´s retail sales for Q3 grew by 9 percent year over year,
increasing by 9 percent in the Americas, 4 percent in EMEA and 44
percent in Asia Pacific. The growth in the Americas and EMEA was
restrained by continued weakness in the webcam category. Retail sales
in all regions were driven by strong demand for Harmony remote
controls, keyboards and mice. Sales of Harmony remote controls
increased by 72 percent, with strong growth in all regions. Keyboard
sales increased by 32 percent and mice sales increased by 22 percent.
OEM sales grew by 54 percent, driven by strong demand for microphones
for console singing games.

"We are very pleased with our Q3 performance," said Gerald. P.
Quindlen, Logitech president and chief executive officer. "We
delivered record sales and our best gross margin ever, despite a
highly promotional retail environment, and we continued to improve the
effectiveness of our working capital management as we finished Q3 with
half a billion dollars in cash. The strong momentum in core categories
such as keyboards and mice exemplifies how leadership in innovation
stimulates continued demand and supports improved margins. And the
robust sales of Harmony remotes underscores the promise of our
increasing attention on the digital home. The progress we have made in
realigning our operating expense growth and gross profit growth
positions us to exceed our FY 2008 goal for operating income growth."

Outlook

For the current fiscal year, ending March 31, 2008, the company
confirmed its sales target of 15 percent growth and increased its
year-over-year operating income growth goal to more than 20 percent.
The Company´s previously stated goal for operating income growth was
20 percent. FY 2008 gross margin is expected to be above the high end
of the Company´s long-term target range of 32-34 percent.

The Company also provided preliminary financial targets of 15
percent growth in both sales and operating income for Fiscal Year
2009, ending March 31, 2009.

Logitech will hold an earnings teleconference on Jan. 17, 2008 at
14:00 Central European Time/8:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time/5:00 a.m.

We sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial
information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Certain of these data are considered "non-GAAP financial measures"
under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The
adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures
presented above consist of the impact on Other Income (Expense) of
the impairment loss related to an other-than-temporary decline in
fair value of short-term investments during the quarters ended
December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, and the realized gain/loss
on sales of short-term investments during the quarter ended December
31, 2007. There were no adjustments to our GAAP net income during the
three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 and accordingly our
financial results for those periods are presented in the accompanying
earnings release on a GAAP basis only. Our management uses these non-
GAAP measures in its financial and operational decision-making. Our
management believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered in
conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, facilitate better
comparison by our investors of our current period results with
corresponding prior periods.
