Logitech International said sales fell 22 percent to $1.27 billion for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 due to the challenging macroeconomic environment.
Gaming sales declined 16 percent to $391.97 million; Video Collaboration sales declined 21 percent to $226.37 million; Keyboards & Combos sales declined 22 percent to $220.05 million; Pointing Devices sales declined 14 percent to $199.10 million; Mobile Speakers sales fell 32 percent to $38.32 million; Audio and Wearable sales drop 34 percent to $69.10 million and Tablet and accessories sales drop 21 percent to $65.15 million. This reflects consumer purchasing concentrated in promotional weeks throughout the quarter, and lower enterprise and consumer spending.
Logitech said operating income declined 33 percent to $177 million, compared to $263 million in the same quarter a year ago.
“We continued to manage our costs in the quarter, while at the same time growing market share in key categories. Our long-term strategies remain unchanged and we remain committed to the growth trends that fuel our business,” said Bracken Darrell, Logitech president and chief executive officer.
Logitech is expecting 13-15 percent drop in sales, and between $550 million and $600 million in non-GAAP operating income for Fiscal Year 2023.
