  • CFO Matteo Anversa: “Thanks to our strong operational performance, we again delivered year-over-year expansion of gross margin… while we expect fourth quarter currency headwinds… strong demand in the third quarter and the continued promotional and operational discipline… give us confidence… and we are increasing our full-year outlook” .

Q&A Highlights

Note: A Q3 FY25 call transcript was not available in our document set; highlights below reflect late-Q2 FY25 Q&A themes that management reiterated directionally in Q3 release.

  • Gross margin sustainability: Value engineering and sale of previously reserved inventory buoyed GM; 2H GM expected to moderate on freight and promotions; full-year GM framework of 42–43% .
  • Sell-in vs sell-through normalization: 1H had higher sell-in to prepare for holidays; dynamic expected to reverse in 2H; FY revenue more balanced 50/50 across halves .
  • OpEx discipline and mix: Framework remains 24–26% of sales; intentional tilt toward “good cholesterol” (R&D, sales/marketing) to drive growth .
  • Supply chain and tariffs: ~40% of units shipped from outside China with a path to ~50% to increase resilience and mitigate tariff risk .
  • End-market color: EMEA best-in-class execution; education vertical growing high-20s; console gaming headsets and tablets seeing margin profile improvements .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global consensus for Q3 FY25 EPS and revenue was unavailable due to provider daily request-limit constraints at time of analysis; therefore, explicit “vs. consensus” comparisons are not presented. If needed, we can refresh and insert consensus deltas upon access restoration (values would be sourced from S&P Global).

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Execution-led beat on core operating metrics: Q3 sales $1.34B (+7% YoY), non-GAAP GM 43.2% (+90 bps), non-GAAP OI $266M (+7% YoY); non-GAAP EPS $1.59 (+4% YoY) .
  • Category leadership: Gaming near pandemic-highs; premium Pro Gaming and MX portfolios at near-record levels—supporting sustained mix quality and brand strength .
  • Raised FY25 guide provides an upward bias to models: Sales to $4.54–$4.57B; non-GAAP OI to $755–$770M—implying continued discipline and demand resilience through Q4 .
  • Near-term watch items: Q4 FX headwinds; seasonal promotions and freight can cap gross margin upside into year-end (as flagged previously) .
  • Soft spots to monitor: Webcams (-2% YoY) and “Other” (-27% YoY) in Q3—assess recovery trajectory and potential product refresh cadence .
  • Cash returns and optionality: $371M CFFO, $1.5B cash, and $200M buybacks in Q3 underpin ongoing capital returns and strategic investment capacity .
  • Medium-term thesis: B2B expansion (Logitech for Business), VC services attach, and innovation cadence (AI-enabled features; premium peripherals) support profitable growth, while supply chain diversification mitigates geopolitical risks .
