2 OVERVIEW Founded in 1981 in Switzerland, Logitech International S.A. is the parent holding company of Logitech, a Swiss holding company. Logitech International S.A. is a global leader in peripherals for personal computers and other digital platforms, which develops and markets innovative products in PC navigation, Internet communications, digital music, home-entertainment control, video security, interactive gaming and wireless devices. The company conducts its business through subsidiaries located throughout the world. The company primarily operates through two business segments: peripherals and video conferencing. Peripherals: The peripherals segment consists of the design, manufacturing and marketing of peripherals for PCs (personal computers) and other digital platforms. For the PC, the company s products include mice, trackballs, keyboards, interactive gaming controllers, multimedia speakers, headsets, webcams, 3D control devices and lapdesks. Tablet & Other Accessories products include keyboard and covers. Internet communications products comprise webcams, headsets, video communications services and digital video security systems for a home or small business. Mobile Speakers products include wireless speakers, earphones and custom in-ear monitors. For home entertainment systems, Logitech offers the Harmony line of advanced remote controls and Squeezebox wireless music solutions. Video conferencing: This segment includes the design, manufacturing and marketing of LifeSize video conferencing products, infrastructure and services for the enterprise, public sector and other business markets. LifeSize products include expandable HD (high-definition) video communication endpoints, HD video conferencing systems with integrated monitors, video bridges and other infrastructure software and hardware to support large scale video deployments, and services to support these products. REASONS TO BUY Growing adoption of new mobile platforms, such as tablets and smartphones in both mature and emerging markets are fueling the demand for Logitech s peripherals and accessories. The rising demand has led to strong retail sales growth for the company. In particular, Logitech s mobile speaker business has been going strong for the past one year, driven by strength in the UE BOOM. Prompted by this success, earlier in January, the company announced UE MEGABOOM a sequel to UE BOOM. Further to enhance the user experience, Logitech introduced a new feature which will facilitate its existing and new users to connect over 10 of its UE BOOM and UE MEGABOOM speakers at the same time. Moreover, the company s video collaboration and PC gaming offerings are gaining strong momentum. Rising sales of Logitech s product line bodes well for the future. Logitech is intending to tap the high potential market for accessories by pursuing innovation and expanding its product lines. The company has manufactured innovative offerings like fastest performing mouse and keyboard switches, wireless mouse with longest battery among others. Riding high on product innovations, in recent times, Logitech launched a portable videoconferencing solution and Logitech G series gaming mouse. Going forward, the company is aiming at broadening its in-store presence in key regions, to cater to the trending demand across the globe. This promises strong growth prospects and will pave the way for strengthening its top line. Logitech is dedicatedly following its three-year turnaround plan, implemented earlier, to reduce its costs while driving up profits and margins significantly. As per the plan, Logitech has been working on its core business structure including its designing, manufacturing and distribution system to improve the operational efficiency significantly. Also, the company has been divesting non-profit assets to reduce Equity Research LOGI Page 2
3 costs. Logitech has also been dedicated to cutting down on non-gaap operating expenses for the last few quarters. Most importantly, Logitech expects to focus on making selective investments to ensure disciplined cost management in quarters ahead. Such cost-cutting and restructuring initiatives are expected to significantly benefit the company, going forward. Logitech s strong cash and balance sheet position allow it to pursue strategic mergers and acquisitions for further expansion of its business. As of Dec 31, 2014 Logitech s cash and cash equivalents of $516.6 million increased from $379.9 million at the end of Dec 31, Apart from this, the company has made efforts to increase returns to its investors through share repurchases and dividend hikes. Most recently, Logitech disclosed a three-year capital allocation plan through which it expects to return up to $500 million in cash to its stockholders via dividends and share repurchases. Moreover, the company is planning to propose for a Swiss franc equivalent of an $85 million dividend for Logitech aims on continuously raising dividends and paying higher returns, to win investors loyalty. We believe such initiatives boost shareholders confidence in the stock. REASONS TO SELL The rising trend of smaller, mobile computing devices with touch interfaces and the declining popularity of desktop PCs have rapidly changed the market and usage models for PC peripherals and webcams. Declining demand in the company s most profit-maximizing products like desktops and diverse porting tools can be a headwind for the company. Moreover, the company s sales are impacted by end-user consumer demand and therefore, the business can be negatively impacted by unanticipated shifts in consumer buying patterns. The market where Logitech operates is highly competitive and characterized by short product life cycles, constant new product introductions, rapidly changing technology, evolving customer demands and aggressive promotional and pricing practices. Therefore, in a dynamic market as this, Logitech needs to bring in newer products matching the trend in order to survive the competition which will be a crucial factor in driving the company s revenue growth, moving forward. Although such innovations fuel Logitech s growth momentum in long term, they tend to increase the company s operating expenses. This remains a matter of concern for Logitech. Logitech s business is prone to be affected by the negative impact of currency translation as the company derives highest portion of its revenues from outside Americas. In third quarter fiscal 2015, international businesses contributed about 55.7% of the company s total net sales. Hence, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, weaknesses in political and macroeconomic conditions of Logitech s operating markets may hurt its quarterly results and thus remains a matter of concern. RECENT NEWS Logitech Woos Investors via Dividend Plan, Guides for 2016 Mar 11, 2015 Prior to a debriefing with financial analysts and investors today, Logitech surprised investors with a great news. This involved a long-term capital allocation plan via dividend and share buybacks. Along with this, the company disclosed the reiteration of its 2015 guidance and provided its 2016 outlook. Equity Research LOGI Page 3
4 Investors Delight Logitech stated its intention of returning up to $500 million in cash to its stockholders in a span of three years. This comprises a $250 million dividend payout plan, which will complement the company s existing $250 million share repurchase program for the specified time frame. Further, at its next annual general meeting, Logitech is planning to propose for a Swiss franc equivalent of an $85 million dividend for the year 2015, to its board of directors. Notably, as per Logitech s current conversion rate and shares outstanding count, this signifies around CHF 0.52 per share double compared to 2014 dividend rate of CHF 0.26 per share. Guidance in Focus Talking about the guidance, Logitech continues to expect its 2015 sales to be around $2.11 billion and non-gaap operating income to be approximately $185 million. On the other hand, Logitech anticipates its 2016 sales to be about $2.15 billion and non-gaap operating income to be around $150 million. Going forward, Logitech expects its sales to be benefited by improving operations. However, the company projects the strengthening U.S dollar to significantly affect its financials. Nevertheless, Logitech is working towards neutralizing the impact of the appreciating U.S. dollar through pricing adjustments and global cost structure reductions. Logitech Woos Gamers with G-Series Mouse Launch Mar 5, 2015 Logitech recently introduced a new Logitech G series product Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex Performance Edition Gaming Mouse.
