Logitech Sees Continued Earnings Growth Amid Strong Demand and Tariff Uncertainty

Logitech's earnings growth outlook remains solid with double-digit growth in recent results, supporting the company's strategy to navigate tariff uncertainties. As a finance expert with experience at Bloomberg, I believe this is a strong indication of the company's resilience and ability to adapt to changing market conditions.

Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) reported strong first-quarter (Q1) results for Fiscal Year 2026, highlighting the company's ability to navigate challenging market conditions, including tariff uncertainties. The company's sales increased by 5% in US dollars and 5% in constant currency compared to the same period last year, reaching $1.15 billion [1].

GAAP gross margin decreased to 41.7% from 52.7% in Q1 2025, primarily due to increased costs related to tariffs and supply chain disruptions. However, non-GAAP gross margin remained robust at 42.1%, reflecting the company's effective cost management strategies. Operating income increased by 6% to $162 million, while non-GAAP operating income grew by 11% to $202 million [1].

The company's earnings per share (EPS) increased by 7% to $0.98 under GAAP and by 12% to $1.26 under non-GAAP measures. Cash flow from operations totaled $125 million, and the quarter-ending cash balance stood at $1.5 billion. Logitech also returned $122 million to shareholders through share repurchases [1].

Logitech's CEO, Hanneke Faber, attributed the strong performance to the company's strategic priorities and robust demand across key categories. The company grew strongly in both B2B and consumer channels, with notable performance in the Asia Pacific region. Chief Financial Officer Matteo Anversa emphasized the company's focus on playing offense, controlling costs, and being agile, which contributed to mid-single-digit sales growth year over year and an expansion in non-GAAP operating margin of 80 basis points [1].

Looking ahead, Logitech expects sales to range between $1,145 million and $1,190 million for the second quarter of FY26, with sales growth in constant currency expected to be between 1% and 5%. Non-GAAP operating income is projected to range between $180 million and $200 million [1].

The company's resilience and ability to adapt to changing market conditions underscore its strong financial position and strategic outlook. As tariff uncertainties persist, Logitech's performance in Q1 FY26 serves as a solid indication of its ability to navigate these challenges and maintain growth.
