Logitech Announces Delay in Form 10-K Filing

NEWARK, Calif. — May 21, 2014 and LAUSANNE, Switzerland, May 22, 2014 — Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today announced that the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014 will be delayed beyond the required filing date of May 30, 2014.

The Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent advisors, is conducting an independent investigation of certain accounting matters related to the Company’s previously issued financial statements. Some of the issues being reviewed by the Audit Committee are also the subject of an ongoing formal investigation by the SEC, including the revision to the Company’s financial statements concerning warranty accruals and amortization of intangible assets presented in its Form 10-K/A, filed on August 7, 2013, and the Company’s transactions with a distributor for Fiscal Year 2007 through Fiscal Year 2009. The Company is cooperating with the SEC in its ongoing investigation. Logitech recently entered into an agreement with the SEC to extend the statute of limitations and cannot predict the outcome of the investigation at this time.

Related to the Audit Committee’s investigation, the Company is performing additional work related to its Fiscal Year 2014 Form 10-K, which might result in adjustments to the financial statements. Logitech will continue to devote the resources necessary to complete its Fiscal Year 2014 Form 10-K and file as soon as possible.

Logitech remains confident in its strategy to return to consistent top-line growth and improved profitability and does not believe these matters will have any impact on the Company’s previously stated outlook for Fiscal Year 2015 or on its long-term business model.
