Logitech (LOGI) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?

Logitech International LOGI is slated to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 results on May 1.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 revenues is pegged at $895.2 million, indicating a decrease of 27.2% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for non-GAAP earnings stands at 42 cents per share, suggesting a significant decline of 48.5% year over year.

The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice in the trailing four quarters and missed the same on two occasions, the average surprise being 0.7%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up before the upcoming announcement.

Logitech International S.A. Price and EPS Surprise

Factors to Consider

Logitech’s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have been negatively impacted by the declining demand for personal computers (PCs), the main sales booster for its PC peripheral products. Per the latest International Data Corporation report, worldwide PC shipments declined 29% year over year to 56.9 million units in the first quarter of 2023.

In 2020 and 2021, Logitech benefited from the elevated demand for its video collaboration, keyboards & combos and pointing device tools, mainly driven by the heightening of work-from-home and learn-from-home trends. Additionally, the demand for gaming products shot up due to the growing popularity of online video games and eSports amid the stay-at-home scenario. However, the demand softened due to the reopening of economic and business activities.

The company witnessed a significant sales decline across all its product offerings in the last reported quarter. In the previous quarter, revenues from the Pointing Devices, PC Webcams, Tablet and Other Accessories, Audio & Wearables, Keyboards & Combos, Video Collaboration, Mobile Speakers and Gaming product categories plunged 13.8%, 49.2%, 21.4%, 33.7%, 21.9%, 21.2%, 32.5% and 16.5%, respectively.

Additionally, enterprises are postponing their large IT spending plans due to a weakening global economy amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical issues. This may have hurt Logitech’s overall financial performance in the fiscal fourth quarter.

However, reduced operating expenses are likely to have partially offset the negative impacts of the aforementioned factors on profitability.
