Losses or unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information could adversely affect our business and result in significant reputational, financial and legal consequences.

Previous report

We use and store confidential information, including but not limited to our business, financial, legal and governance information, as well as confidential information, including personal information, about our employees, members of our Board of Directors, customers, and other business partners. In addition, as a consumer electronics company, our websites are an important presentation of our company, identity and brands and an important means of interaction with and source of information for consumers of our products. We also rely on our centralized information technology systems for product-related information and to store intellectual property and data, forecast our business, maintain financial records, manage operations and inventory, and operate other critical functions. We allocate significant resources to maintain our information technology systems and implement technical and organizational measures recognized as “best practice” to protect against unauthorized access or misuse.

Previous report

Nevertheless, our websites and information technology systems have been and could continue to be subject to or threatened with, and are susceptible to, damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to power outages, hardware failures, structural or operational failures, computer viruses, ransomware and other malware, vulnerabilities in third-party software, attacks by computer hackers and other third parties, including state-sponsored attacks, employee error or malfeasance, phishing and other means of social engineering, other data security issues, telecommunication failures, user error, employee or contractor negligence or malfeasance, catastrophes, downtime due to system or software upgrades, integration or migration, or other foreseeable and unforeseen events. Such risks extend not only to our own products, services, systems and networks, but also to those of customers, suppliers, contractors, business partners, vendors, and other third parties, particularly as all parties increasingly digitize their operations. For example, as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on November 14, 2025, we experienced a cybersecurity incident relating to the exfiltration of data. The cybersecurity incident has not impacted Logitech’s products, business operations or manufacturing, and we believe this incident will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that any future, or yet undiscovered, incident will not have a material impact on us individually or in the aggregate.

Previous report

Moreover, there is an increased risk that we may experience security breaches or other types of incidents as a result of our employees, service providers and third parties working remotely. In addition, our growth and increased frequency and sophistication of cyber and product security attacks, especially leveraging "deepfakes" and other AI techniques may increase the likelihood of us becoming a target of complex and damaging attacks that substantially disrupt operations and expose sensitive data. While we have developed and implemented security measures and processes designed to protect against cybersecurity incidents and other security threats; such measures cannot provide absolute security and may not be successful in preventing all security breaches.

Previous report

Security incidents or breaches impacting the information we or our third-party service providers process or maintain, or our products, websites or information technology systems may result in loss, unavailability, corruption, or unauthorized collection, use, disclosure or other processing of personal data and other confidential information that we and our service providers maintain and otherwise process. Any such incidents or breaches, or the belief or perception that any such matters have occurred could result in disruptions of our operations, loss of intellectual property and loss, corruption, unavailability or other unauthorized processing of data. Any such event could also damage our brand and reputation or otherwise harm our business, and could result in government enforcement actions, litigation and potential liability for us. Any of these may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, potentially in a material manner.

Previous report

In addition, while we carry cyber insurance, we cannot be certain that our insurance will be sufficient to cover losses and liabilities resulting from cyberattacks, security breaches and incidents, or other interruptions, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

Previous report

We purchase key components and products from a limited number of sources, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected if supply were delayed or constrained or if there were shortages or significant price increases of required components.

Previous report

We purchase certain products and key components from a limited number of sources and geographic areas and are therefore subject to significant supply and pricing risks. If the supply of these products or key components were to be delayed or constrained or if prices increase significantly, impacted by increased demand and/or by global shortages, including of semiconductor chips, or if one or more of our single-source suppliers experience disruptions or go out of business as a result of adverse global economic conditions, adverse global or regional geopolitical conditions, natural disasters or regional or global pandemics, we might be unable to find a new supplier on acceptable terms or at acceptable prices, or at all, and our product shipments to our customers could be delayed or product costs rise, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Previous report

Lead times for materials, components and products ordered by us or by our contract manufacturers can vary significantly and depend on factors such as contract terms, demand for a component, and supplier capacity. From time to time, we have experienced, and may experience again, component shortages and extended lead times on semiconductors, such as microcontrollers and optical sensors, and base metals used in our products. We may be affected by the increases in demand for memory chips and other components caused by the build out of new AI technologies and data centers, leading to a rise in prices for such components and suppliers transitioning away from supplying certain components utilized in manufacturing our products. Shortages or interruptions in the supply of components or subcontracted products, or our inability to procure these components or products from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could affect availability of our products or increase our production costs, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Previous report

Changes in trade policy and regulations in the United States and other countries, including changes in trade agreements, the imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions, and the resulting consequences, may have adverse impacts on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous report

The U.S. government has instituted or proposed changes to international trade policy through the renegotiation, and potential termination, of certain existing bilateral or multilateral trade agreements and treaties with, and the imposition of tariffs on a wide range of products and other goods from China, countries in EMEA and other countries. We have invested significantly in manufacturing facilities in China and Southeast Asia. Given our manufacturing is principally in those countries, policy or regulations changes in the United States or other countries present particular risks for us. Our business has been and continues to be impacted by the expansion of tariffs on goods imported from other countries. While the full extent of tariff changes remains uncertain, the risk of significant trade policy shifts could materially impact our operations, costs, and financial results.

Previous report

New or increased tariffs or other trade restrictions, or other changes to trade policies and regulations, could adversely affect more or all of our products. There also are risks associated with retaliatory policies and resulting trade wars. We cannot predict future trade policy and regulations in the United States and other countries, the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements or treaties, or tariffs and their impact on our business. A trade war could have a significant adverse effect on world trade and the world economy. Tariffs and other trade restrictions have in the past increased and could in the future increase the price of, limit the amount of, or cause significant delays in our procurement of certain products or components or materials used in our products. For example, certain materials are primarily available in a limited number of countries, including rare earth elements, minerals and metals. Trade disputes, geopolitical tensions, economic circumstances, political conditions, or public health issues may limit our ability to obtain such materials. Although these rare earth and other materials are generally available from multiple suppliers, China is a predominant producer of these materials. China has in the past restricted export of certain of these materials and may in the future further expand restrictions or stop exporting these or other materials. As a result, our suppliers’ ability to obtain such supply may be constrained, and we may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities, or obtain supply in a timely manner, or at a commercially reasonable cost. In any such event, the sales, cost or gross margin of our products may be adversely affected and the demand from our customers for products and services may be diminished. Uncertainty surrounding international trade policy and regulations as well as disputes and protectionist measures could also have an adverse effect on consumer confidence and spending. If we deem it necessary to alter all or a portion of our activities or operations in response to such policies, agreements or tariffs and other trade restrictions, our capital and operating costs may increase.

Previous report

Our ongoing efforts to address these risks may not be effective and may have long-term adverse effects on our operations and operating results that we may not be able to reverse. Such efforts may also take time to implement or to have an effect and may result in adverse quarterly financial results or fluctuations in our quarterly financial results. As a result, changes in trade policy and regulations in the United States and other countries as well as changes in trade agreements and tariffs or other trade restrictions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous report

As a result of changes in tax laws, treaties, rulings, regulations or agreements, or their interpretation, of Switzerland or any other country in which we operate, the loss of a major tax dispute or a successful challenge to our operating structure, intercompany pricing policies or the taxable presence of our key subsidiaries in certain countries, or other factors, our effective income tax rates may increase, which could adversely affect our net income and cash flows.

Previous report

We operate in multiple jurisdictions, and our profits are taxed pursuant to the tax laws of these jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate may be affected by changes to existing tax laws, enactment of new tax laws, such as the recently enacted U.S. federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), or changes to interpretations of tax laws, treaties, rulings, regulations or agreements in any given jurisdiction, or changes in international tax reform by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD") and similar organizations, utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, changes in geographical allocation of income and expense, and changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the realizability of deferred tax assets. We have reviewed the provisions of the OBBBA to determine the potential impact on our financial statements. Based on this review, and considering our current tax position and operations, we do not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on the Company's income taxes, including current and deferred tax balances and the effective tax rate; however, we are currently evaluating and will continue to evaluate the full impact of the OBBBA on us. In the past, we have experienced fluctuations in our effective income tax rate. Our effective income tax rate in a given fiscal year reflects a variety of factors that may not be present in the succeeding fiscal year or years. There is no assurance that our effective income tax rate will not change in future periods.

Previous report

For example, as a result of the Federal Act on the Tax Reform and AHV Financing (“TRAF”), the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, where we are incorporated, enacted tax reforms that took effect as of January 1, 2020. As a result of the TRAF reform, Logitech will incur cash income taxes that will increase over time as the deferred income tax benefit established in connection with the reform diminishes. Implementation of any material change in tax laws or policies or the adoption of new interpretations of existing tax laws and rulings, or termination or replacement of our tax arrangements with the canton of Vaud may adversely affect our net income.

Previous report

In addition, the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project (the “BEPS Project”) undertaken by the OECD recommended changes to numerous long-standing tax principles, including a proposal to reallocate profits among tax jurisdictions in which companies do business (“Pillar One”) and establishing a minimum tax on global income (“Pillar Two”). As many countries have proposed or enacted Pillar Two legislation in jurisdictions in which we operate, we continue to monitor the relevant developments. The minimum tax rules could result in tax increases in Switzerland and many foreign jurisdictions where we operate or have a presence. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released a "Side-by-Side" Administrative Guidance package which introduces several key elements that may potentially impact our Pillar Two compliance and reporting. A new permanent safe harbor replaces the transitional CbCR safe harbor for fiscal years beginning in 2027, and the CbCR safe harbor is extended for an additional year. We continue to monitor the relevant developments but do not expect a material change to our Pillar Two liability.

Previous report

We file Swiss and foreign tax returns. We are frequently subject to tax audits, examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. If any tax authority successfully challenges our operational structure, intercompany pricing policies or the taxable presence of our key subsidiaries in certain countries, if the terms of certain income tax treaties are interpreted in a manner that is adverse to our structure, or if we lose a material tax dispute in any country, our effective income tax rate could increase. For example, policy changes in Switzerland, the United States or China predicated on our presence in those countries could adversely affect where we recognize profit and our effective income tax rate. If our effective income tax rate increases in future periods, our net income and cash flows could be adversely affected.
