improve our operating leverage; if there is a deterioration of business and economic conditions in one or more of our sales egions or product categories, or significant
fluctuations in exchange rates. These and other risks and uncertainties are detailed in Logitech's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Quarterly

under the caption Risk Factors and elsewhere. Logitech does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or events or
circumstances occurring after the date of this presentation.
To facilitate comparisons to Logitech's historical results, we have included non-GAAP adjusted measures in this presentation, which exclude primarily share-based
compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, purchase accounting effect on inventory, acquisition-related costs, change in fair value of contingent consideration for
business acquisition, restructuring charges (credits), gain (loss) on equity-method investment, investigation and related expenses, non-GAAP income tax adjustment, and other
items detailed under "Supplemental Financial Information" in our quarterly earnings press release and posted to our website a http://ir.logitech.com. Historical GAAP and
corresponding non-GAAP measures are provided with our earnings releases and presentations in the Investors section of our website. We also present percentage sales
growth in nstant currency ("CC") to show performance unaffected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Percentage sales growth in constant currency is calculated by
translating prior period sales in each local currency at the current period's average exchange rate for that currency and comparing that to current period sales. Logitech believes
this information will help investors to evaluate its current period performance, outlook and trends in its business. For hisbrical financials provided in this presentation,
reconciliation between non-GAAP amounts and GAAP amounts is provided on the Investors page of our website, together with this presentation and with our earnings releases.
With respect to financial outlook, most of the excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not curently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree
of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided for non-GAAP outlook.View entire presentation
