Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced financial results for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2013.
Sales for Q2 FY 2013 were $548 million, down 7 percent from $589 million in Q2 FY 2012. Excluding the unfavorable impact of exchange rates, sales were down 4 percent compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Operating income was $24 million, up 3 percent from operating income of $23 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net income for Q2 FY 2013 was $55 million ($0.35 per share) compared to net income of $17 million ($0.10 per share) in Q2 FY 2012. Net income for Q2 FY 2013 includes a net tax benefit of $32 million from the closure of an income tax audit. Gross margin for the quarter was 35.8 percent, compared to 33.7 percent in the same quarter one year ago.
Logitech´s retail sales for Q2 FY 2013 decreased by 5 percent year over year, down 3 percent in EMEA, 6 percent in the Americas and 7 percent in Asia. OEM sales decreased by 27 percent. Sales for the LifeSize division decreased by 7 percent.
"In Q2, the PC market weakened more significantly than anticipated, in advance of the launch of Windows 8," said Guerrino De Luca, Logitech chairman and chief executive officer. "This factor, as well as a general slowdown in emerging markets, negatively impacted our Q2 sales. Despite this environment, we executed effectively during the quarter, improving our gross margin and operating results. We also recently launched compelling new products for tablets, smartphones, the digital home, Macs and Windows 8 PCs in time for the holiday season.
"Looking ahead, given the uncertainty in the PC market, we are now planning for continued strong headwinds in all of our PC-related categories for the remainder of the fiscal year. We expect this weakness to more than offset the positive impact of our new product launches, and consequently, we now anticipate our sales and operating income for the second half of FY 2013 will be below that of the second half of the prior fiscal year. In addition to managing our spending in line with the current environment, we are also in the process of reassessing the strategy within each of our PC-related product categories to deliver improved performance."
