Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Logitech and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and therefore do not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 27, 2020.
In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary and in all material aspects, for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, or any future periods.
Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
Other than the recent accounting pronouncements adopted and discussed below under Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve fair value of goodwill and intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions, valuation of right-of-use assets, valuation of investment in privately held companies classified under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, pensions obligations, warranty liabilities, accruals for customer incentives, cooperative marketing, and pricing programs (Customer Programs) and related breakage when appropriate, accrued sales return liability, inventory valuation, share-based compensation expense, uncertain tax positions, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the Company in the future, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the measures taken by many countries in response have contributed to a general slowdown in the global economy and adversely affected, and could in the future continue to adversely affect, the Company's business and operations. Capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and it is still unclear how lasting and deep the economic impacts will be. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, as well as in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had mixed effects on the Company’s results of operations, and it may continue to have mixed or adverse effects. While there was high demand and consumption of certain of our products that led to increased sales and operating income during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, at the same time the Company experienced disruptions to supply chain and logistics services, inventory constraints and increased logistics costs. The ongoing and full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business and operational and financial performance and condition is uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company's control, including but not limited to the timing, extent, duration and effects of the virus and any of its mutations, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of effective public safety and other protective measures, the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and demand for the Company's products and services. Should the COVID-19 pandemic or global economic slowdown not improve or worsen, or if the Company's attempt to mitigate its impact on its operations and costs is not successful, the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" (ASU 2016-13), which was further updated and clarified by the FASB through issuance of additional related ASUs, replaces the incurred-loss impairment methodology and requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur for most financial assets, including trade receivables. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company updated its credit loss models to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (CECL) model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable. The cumulative effect adjustment from adoption was not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements" (ASU 2018-13), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, including eliminating the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and requiring the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. Some of these disclosure changes must be applied prospectively while others retrospectively depending on requirement. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefits Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans" (ASU 2018-14), which requires that the Company remove various disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, namely amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year. Further, ASU 2018-14 requires disclosure or clarification of the reasons for significant gains or losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2020 using a retrospective approach and the updated disclosures will be included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements To Be Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" (ASU 2019-12), which eliminates certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. This ASU also includes guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt the standard effective April 1, 2021.

Share equivalents attributable to outstanding stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and employee share purchase rights (ESPP) totaling 1.4 million and 2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the combined exercise price and average unamortized grant date fair value upon exercise of these options and ESPP or vesting of RSUs were greater than the average market price of the Company's shares during the periods presented herein, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The majority of performance-based awards were not included because all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the respective period, and those shares were not issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance contingency period.
Note 3 — Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Share Purchase Plans and Stock Incentive Plans
As of June 30, 2020, the Company offers the 2006 Employee Share Purchase Plan, as amended and restated (Non-U.S.) (2006 ESPP), the 1996 Employee Share Purchase Plan (U.S.), as amended and restated (1996 ESPP), the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (2006 Plan), and the 2012 Stock Inducement Equity Plan (2012 Plan).

The income tax benefit in the respective period primarily consists of tax benefit related to the share-based compensation expense for the period and direct tax benefit realized, including net excess tax benefits recognized from share-based awards vested or exercised during the period.
As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the balance of capitalized share-based compensation included in inventory was $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Defined Benefit Plans
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans or non-retirement post-employment benefits covering substantially all of their employees. Benefits are provided based on employees’ years of service and earnings, or in accordance with applicable employee benefit regulations. The Company’s practice is to fund amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in the applicable employee benefit and tax regulations. The costs recorded of $2.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were primarily related to service costs.
Note 4 — Income Taxes
The Company is incorporated in Switzerland but operates in various countries with differing tax laws and rates. Further, a portion of the Company’s income before taxes and the provision for (benefit from) income taxes are generated outside of Switzerland.
The canton of Vaud enacted the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing ("TRAF"), a major reform to better align the Swiss tax system with international tax standards on March 10, 2020 to take effect as of January 1, 2020. The longstanding tax ruling from the canton of Vaud was applicable through December 31, 2019.
The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $14.0 million based on an effective income tax rate of 16.3% of pre-tax income, compared to an income tax provision of $6.5 million based on an effective income tax rate of 12.6% of pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions which the Company operates. The Swiss income tax provision in each period represents the income tax provision at the full statutory income tax rate of 13.63%. In the three months ended June 30, 2019 when TRAF was yet to be enacted at the federal and cantonal levels, the transition income tax provision was quantified at the full statutory income tax rate of 13.63% because at the time the canton of Vaud permitted the application of the longstanding tax ruling only through March 31, 2019. There were discrete tax benefits of $5.0 million and $1.0 million from the recognition of excess tax benefits in the United States and reversal of uncertain tax positions from the expiration of statutes of limitations, respectively, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, compared with $5.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions was $144.2 million and $140.8 million, respectively, all of which would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized.
As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company had $44.3 million and $40.8 million, respectively, in non-current income taxes payable including interest and penalties, related to the Company's income tax liability for uncertain tax positions.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in the income tax provision. As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company had $4.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in non-current income taxes payable.
Although the Company has adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions related to these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. During fiscal year 2021, the Company continues to review its tax positions and provide for or reverse unrecognized tax benefits as they arise. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease significantly due to changes in tax law in various jurisdictions, new tax audits and changes in the U.S. dollar as compared to other currencies. Excluding these factors, uncertain tax positions may decrease by as much as $4.7 million from the lapse of the statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
The Company considers fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes the following three-level fair value hierarchy to establish the priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value:
•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as: quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding assets related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, classified by the level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

(1) As of June 30, 2020, the earn-out period is complete. The earn-out payment of $29.0 million is based on the actual net sales of Streamlabs services and no longer subject to fair value measurement and was accordingly transferred out of Level 3. The expected earn-out payment is included in the accrued and other current liabilities of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Investment Securities
The marketable securities for the Company's deferred compensation plan were recorded at a fair value of $22.9 million and $20.1 million, as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains (losses) related to trading securities for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were not material and are included in other income, net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Contingent Consideration for Business Acquisition
On October 31, 2019 (the "Streamlabs Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired all of the equity interests of General Workings, Inc. ("Streamlabs"). The contingent consideration for business acquisition arising from the Streamlabs Acquisition represents the future potential earn-out payments of $29.0 million payable in stock only upon the achievement of certain net sales for the period beginning on January 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2020. The fair value of the earn-out as of the Streamlabs Acquisition Date was $0.04 million, and increased to $23.3 million as of March 31, 2020, which was determined by using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to calculate the probability of the earn-out threshold being met and times the value of the earn-out payment, and discounted at
the risk-free rate. The valuation included significant assumptions and unobservable inputs such as the projected sales of Streamlabs over the earn-out period, the risk-free rate, and the net sales volatility. The fair value was increased by $5.7 million to $29.0 million as of June 30, 2020, based on actual sales. The stock payout is expected to be $29.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration no longer needs to be remeasured at each reporting period, as the earn-out period has been completed.
Equity Method Investments
The Company has certain non-marketable investments included in other assets that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with a carrying value of $42.3 million and $42.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Financial Assets. The Company has certain investments without readily determinable fair values due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity, and the fact that inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable and require management's judgment. When certain events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist, the Company revalues the investments using various assumptions, including the financial metrics and ratios of comparable public companies. The carrying value is also adjusted for observable price changes with a same or similar security from the same issuer. The amount of these investments included in other assets as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 was $3.9 million. There was no impairment of these assets during the three months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.
Non-Financial Assets. Goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and notes receivable, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or tested at least annually for goodwill) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment and an impairment is recorded to reduce the non-financial instrument's carrying value to the fair value as a result of such triggering events, the non-financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for the period such triggering events occur. There was no impairment of these assets during the three months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.
Note 7 — Derivative Financial Instruments
Under certain agreements with the respective counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts, subject to applicable requirements, the Company is allowed to net settle transactions of the same type with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. However, the Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.
The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments was not material as of June 30, 2020 or March 31, 2020. The amount of gain (loss) recognized on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was not material in all periods presented herein. The following table presents the amounts of gains (losses) on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments and their locations on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company enters into cash flow hedge contracts to protect against exchange rate exposure of forecasted inventory purchases. These hedging contracts mature within four months. Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedges are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, at which time the gains or losses are reclassified to cost of goods sold. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Hedging relationships are discontinued when hedging contract is no longer eligible for hedge accounting, or is sold, terminated or exercised, or when Company removes hedge designation for the contract. Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of the discontinued hedges continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, unless it is probable that the forecasted inventory purchases will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter. In all periods presented herein, there have been no forecasted inventory purchases that were probable to not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter. The notional amounts of foreign currency exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $93.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and $48.0 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company had $2.9 million of net losses related to its cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2020 which will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
Other Derivatives
The Company also enters into foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts to reduce the short-term effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain receivables or payables denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of its subsidiaries. These contracts generally mature within one month. The primary risk managed by using forward and swap contracts is the currency exchange rate risk. The gains or losses on these contracts are recognized in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the changes in fair value. The notional amounts of these contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 were $73.3 million and $64.7 million, respectively. Open forward and swap contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 consisted of contracts in Mexican Pesos, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollars, Taiwan New Dollars and Australian Dollars to be settled at future dates at pre-determined exchange rates.
The fair value of all foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts is determined based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates. Cash flows from these contracts are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Note 8 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company conducts its impairment analysis of goodwill annually at December 31 and as necessary, if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit may be less than its carrying amount. There have been no events or circumstances during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that have required the Company to perform an interim assessment of goodwill.

Indemnifications
The Company indemnifies certain of its suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes and product safety defects, subject to certain restrictions. The scope of these indemnities varies, but in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. As of June 30, 2020, no amounts have been accrued for these indemnification provisions. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under its indemnification arrangements.
The Company also indemnifies its current and former directors and certain of its current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these exposures are not limited, the obligations are conditional in nature and the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is currently subject to several such claims and a small number of legal proceedings. The Company believes that these matters lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that resolution of pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the Company’s defenses will be successful or that any such lawsuit or claim would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations in a particular period. Any claims or proceedings against the Company, whether meritorious or not, can have an adverse impact because of defense costs, diversion of management and operational resources, negative publicity and other factors. Any failure to obtain a necessary license or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims, could adversely affect the Company’s business.
Note 11 — Shareholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
In March 2017, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2017 share buyback program, which authorized the Company to use up to $250.0 million to purchase up to 17.3 million shares of its own shares. This share buyback program expired in April 2020. The Company did not repurchase any of its registered shares during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
In May 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2020 share buyback program, which authorized the Company to use up to $250.0 million to purchase up to 17.3 million of its own shares. The new program will, upon implementation, replace the Company’s prior 2017 share buyback program. The Company's share buyback program is expected to remain in effect for a period of three years from its implementation. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, through block trades or otherwise. Purchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors.

We continually review our product offerings and our strategic direction in light of our profitability targets, competitive conditions, changing consumer trends and the evolving nature of the interface between the consumer and the digital world.
Impacts of COVID-19 to Our Business
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the world. The spread of COVID-19 has caused public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus and, in certain markets in which we operate, government authorities have issued orders that require the closure of non-essential businesses and people to be quarantined or to shelter-at-home. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly curtailed global economic activity, caused significant volatility and disruption in global financial and commercial markets, and is likely to lead to recessionary pressures for an indeterminate amount of time. We are conducting our business with substantial modifications, such as employee work locations and remote work among other changes. We are continuing to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that could alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities in the countries in which we operate, or that we determine are in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers or shareholders. It is not clear what the potential effects of COVID-19 or any such modifications or alterations may have on our business, results of operations, financial operations, financial condition and stock price.
During February 2020, following the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in China, we experienced disruptions to our manufacturing, supply chain and logistics services, resulting in temporary inventory declines and an increase in logistics costs. We continued to see disruptions to our supply chain and logistics services, inventory constraints and increased logistics costs during the remainder of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 as we attempted to address the effects of COVID-19, including health-related issues, changing regulations, and increased demand for and depleted inventories of some of our products. At the same time, due to the ongoing shelter-at-home requirements or recommendations in many countries, there was high demand and consumption of certain of our products that led to increased sales and operating income. While it is not yet clear how long the positive demand dynamics will continue, we expect the increased logistics costs and other adverse effects on our gross margins from COVID-19 to continue through the remainder of fiscal year 2021. It is difficult to predict the progression, the duration and all of the effects of COVID-19, when business closure and shelter-at-home guidelines may be eased or lifted, and how consumer demand, inventory and logistical effects and costs may evolve over time, or the impact on our future sales and results of operations. Some of this impact will undoubtedly occur over multiple financial periods and may have a lag effect between periods, such as what we are able to manufacture in one period affecting sales, channel inventory or logistics costs in subsequent periods. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and our operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors outside our control. For additional information, see "Liquidity and Capital resources" below and "Item IA: Risk Factors", including under the caption "The full effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and cannot be predicted, and the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic."
Summary of Financial Results
Our total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 23%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, due to stronger sales across all regions and several of our product categories from increased remote work and distance learning set-ups, related to various shelter-at-home mandates. The results of operations for Streamlabs have been included in our consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date. Streamlabs contributed 2 points to the sales growth during the period.
Our sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 21%, 18% and 31% in the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific, respectively, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Our gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 150 basis points to 38.6% from 37.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in gross margin was driven by lower customer incentive programs, favorable product mix and benefits from cost savings and operational efficiencies, partially offset by COVD-19 related costs primarily due to higher logistics operations costs and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $222.3 million, or 28.1% of sales, compared to $191.5 million, or 29.7% of sales in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $72.1 million, compared to $45.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Trends in Our Business
Our products participate in five large multi-category market opportunities, including Creativity & Productivity, Gaming, Video Collaboration, Music and Smart Home. We see opportunities to deliver growth with products in all these markets. The following discussion represents key trends specific to our market opportunities.
Trends Specific to Our Five Market Opportunities
Creativity & Productivity: New PC shipments remain lackluster but the installed base of PC users remains large. We believe that innovative PC peripherals, such as our mice and keyboards, can renew the PC usage experience and help improve the productivity and engagement of remote work, distance learning, and telemedicine, thus providing growth opportunities. Increasing adoption of various cloud-based applications has led to multiple unique consumer use cases, which we are addressing with our innovative product portfolio and a deep understanding of our customer base. The increasing popularity of streaming and broadcasting, as well as the rising work-from-home trend, provides additional growth opportunities for our webcam products, as well as other products in our portfolio. Smaller mobile computing devices, such as tablets, have created new markets and usage models for peripherals and accessories. We offer a number of products to enhance the use of mobile devices, including a combo backlit keyboard case for the iPad Pro and keyboard folios for other iPad models. Hybrid and distance learning environments have also created demand and growth opportunities for our education tablet keyboards and accessories.
Gaming: The PC gaming and console gaming platforms continue to show strong structural growth opportunities as online gaming, multi-platform experiences, and esports gain greater popularity and gaming content becomes increasingly more demanding and social particularly as other recreational activities have been curtained or restricted during stay-at-home mandates. The new console refresh cycle during the holiday season of 2020 could drive subsequent growth opportunities over the coming years for our ASTRO family of headsets and controllers. We believe Logitech is well positioned to benefit from the overall gaming market growth. With ASTRO Gaming, we also strengthened our portfolio in adjacent categories, such as the console controller market. Our acquisition of Streamlabs provides a solid platform to deliver recurring services and subscriptions to gamers.
Video Collaboration: The near and long-term structural growth opportunities in the video collaboration market have never been more relevant than in today’s environment, as commercial and consumer adoption of video has seen explosive growth in recent months. Video meetings are on the rise, and companies increasingly want lower-cost, cloud-based solutions that can provide their employees with the ability to work from anywhere. We are continuing our efforts to create and sell innovative products to accommodate the increasing demand from small-size meeting rooms, such as huddle rooms, to medium and large-sized meeting rooms. We are also experiencing significant demand for our enterprise-grade VC webcams and headsets. We will continue to invest in select business-specific products (both hardware and software), targeted product marketing and sales channel development.
Music: The mobile speaker market has remained soft, and has further weakened as physical retail stores have been recently closed and retail footprint has decreased significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The integration of personal voice assistants has become increasingly competitive in the speaker categories, but the market for third-party, voice-enabled speakers has not yet gained traction. Moreover, the market for mobile speakers appears to be maturing, which led to a decline in Ultimate Ears sales in the past two years. In fiscal year 2020, the wireless headphone industry continued to flourish with strong revenue growth but has slowed in recent months due to physical retail store closures. The largest growth was in true wireless headphones while traditional wireless headphones have declined significantly. Continued growth in the wireless headphone market is expected for the next several years as consumers increasingly adopt wireless headphones over wired headphones. Blue Microphones has experienced strong demand as musicians, performers and streamers increasingly look to entertain and engage with their fans on various online platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook.
Smart Home: Our remote Harmony business declined substantially in fiscal year 2020, offset by growth in our Circle 2 family of security cameras. In general, the space is under pressure as the way people consume content is changing and as retail stores have been closed. We will continue to explore other innovative experiences for the Smart Home category.
Business Seasonality, Product Introductions and Acquisitions
We have historically experienced higher sales in our third fiscal quarter ending December 31, compared to other fiscal quarters in our fiscal year, primarily due to the increased consumer demand for our products during the year-end holiday buying season and year-end spending by enterprises. Additionally, new product introductions and business acquisitions can significantly impact sales, product costs and operating expenses. Product introductions can also impact our sales to distribution channels as these channels are filled with new product inventory following a product introduction, and often channel inventory of an earlier model product declines as the next related major product launch approaches. Sales can also be affected when consumers and distributors anticipate a product introduction or changes in business circumstances. However, neither historical seasonal patterns nor historical patterns of product introductions should be considered reliable indicators of our future pattern of product introductions, future sales or financial performance. Furthermore, cash flow is correspondingly lower in the first half of the fiscal year as we typically build inventories in advance for the third quarter and we pay an annual dividend following our Annual General Meeting, which is typically in September.
Swiss Federal Tax Reform
As we described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the canton of Vaud in Switzerland enacted TRAF on March 10, 2020, effective as of January 1, 2020. Our cash tax payments have increased in Switzerland beginning in fiscal year 2020 as a result of our transition out of our longstanding tax ruling from the canton of Vaud.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates. We also discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
We believe that the assumptions, judgments and estimates involved in the accounting for accruals for customer incentives, cooperative marketing, and pricing programs (Customer Programs) and related breakage when appropriate, accrued sales return liability, inventory valuation and uncertain tax positions have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. These areas are key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules requiring us to make judgments and estimates and consequently, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recent accounting pronouncements adopted and to be adopted.
Impact of Constant Currency
We refer to our sales growth rates excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations as "constant dollar" sales growth rates. Percentage of constant dollar sales growth 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.
Given our global sales presence and the reporting of our financial results in U.S. Dollars, our financial results could be affected by shifts in currency exchange rates. See “Results of Operations” for information on the effect of currency exchange rate results on our sales. If the U.S. Dollar appreciates or depreciates in comparison to other currencies in future periods, this will affect our results of operations in future periods as well.
References to Sales
References to “sales” mean net sales, except as otherwise specified, and the sales growth discussion and sales growth rate percentages are based on U.S. Dollars, except as otherwise specified.
Sales Denominated in Other Currencies
Although our financial results are reported in U.S. Dollars, a portion of our sales was generated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, such as the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Taiwan New Dollar, British Pound and Australian Dollar. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 48% of our sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.
Results of Operations
Net Sales
Our sales in the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 23% compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, driven by sales increases in all regions and several of our product categories from increased remote work and distance learning set-ups, as well as from various stay-at-home mandates. Strong growth sales for in Video Collaboration, Gaming, PC Webcams, Keyboards & Combos, Audio PC & Wearables, and Tablet and other Accessories and Keyboards & Combos was partially offset by a decline in sales for Mobile Speakers, Smart Home, and Pointing Devices. If currency exchange rates had been constant in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our constant dollar sales growth rate would have been 25%.

(1) Other category includes products that we currently intend to phase out, or have already phased out, because they are no longer strategic to our business.
Creativity & Productivity Market:
Pointing Devices
Our Pointing Devices category comprises PC- and Mac-related mice including trackballs, touchpads and presenters.
Sales of Pointing Devices decreased 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily driven by declines in EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in sales of presentation tools and corded mice, partially offset by an increase in sales of our cordless mice.
Keyboards & Combos
Our Keyboards & Combos category comprises PC keyboards, living room keyboards and keyboard/mice combo products.
Sales of Keyboards & Combos increased 13% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was driven by an increase in sales for our cordless keyboards and wireless keyboards/mice combos, partially offset by a decline in sales of our living room keyboard and corded keyboard/mice combos.
PC Webcams
Our PC Webcams category comprises PC-based webcams targeted primarily at consumers.
PC Webcams sales increased 116% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was across all regions and all product types, primarily driven by an increase in sales of our HD Pro Webcam C920, Webcam C60, HD Webcam C615, and Logitech StreamCam partly due to remote work and distance learning.
Tablet & Other Accessories
Our Tablet & Other Accessories category primarily comprises keyboards for tablets.
Sales of Tablet & Other Accessories products increased 20% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Gaming sales increased 35% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by increases in the sales of all our product types, including Streamlabs services as a result of our business combination in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, except for console gaming controllers. The decrease in console gaming controllers was primarily driven by decline in the sales of C40 controllers and controller accessories.

Our Video Collaboration category primarily includes Logitech’s ConferenceCams, which combine affordable
enterprise-quality audio and high definition (HD) 1080p video to bring video conferencing to businesses of any size.
Sales of Video Collaboration products increased 77% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by the sales of our BRIO 4K Pro Webcam, MeetUp video conferencing camera, Rally Ultra-HD conference camera system, and Pro Webcam Ultra Wide Angle HD Webcam partly due to remote work setups, partially offset by a decline in sales of our BCC950 video conferencing system and older generation products.
Music market:
Mobile Speakers
Our Mobile Speakers category is made up entirely of Bluetooth wireless speakers.
Sales of Mobile Speakers decreased 42% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales of our BOOM 3, WONDERBOOM, BOOM 2, and WONDERBOOM 2 mobile speakers, partially offset by an increase in sales from the introduction of our HYPERBOOM speaker in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and an increase in sales of our MEGABOOM 3 speakers.
Audio & Wearables
Our Audio & Wearables category comprises PC speakers, PC headsets, in-ear headphones, premium wireless audio wearables and studio-quality microphones for professionals and consumers.
Audio & Wearables sales increased 22% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by the sales of both our corded and cordless headsets and Blue Microphones products, partially offset by a decline in the sales of our Jaybird traditional wireless products.
Smart Home market:
Our Smart Home category mainly comprises our Harmony line of advanced home entertainment controllers and home security cameras.
Smart Home sales decreased 31% during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily driven by an overall decline in sales in our Harmony remote products and our home security products.

Gross profit consists of sales less cost of goods sold (which includes materials, direct labor and related overhead costs, costs of manufacturing facilities, royalties, costs of purchasing components from outside suppliers, distribution costs, warranty costs, customer support, shipping and handling costs, outside processing costs and write-down of inventories), amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting effect on inventory.
Gross margin increased by 150 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by lower customer incentive programs, favorable product mix and benefits from cost savings and operational efficiencies, partially offset by COVD-19 related costs primarily due to higher logistics operations costs and unfavorable currency exchange rates.

Marketing and Selling
Marketing and selling expenses consist of personnel and related overhead costs, corporate and product marketing, promotions, advertising, trade shows, technical support for customer experiences and facilities costs.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, marketing and selling expenses increased $10.2 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel-related costs due to increased headcount, partially resulting from the Streamlabs acquisition and increased performance-based variable compensation, partially offset by lower marketing related expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of personnel and related overhead costs, contractors and outside consultants, supplies and materials, equipment depreciation and facilities costs, all associated with the design and development of new products and enhancements of existing products.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, research and development expenses increased $7.5 million compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel-related costs due to increased headcount, partially resulting from the Streamlabs acquisition and increased performance-based variable compensation.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead, information technology, and facilities costs for the infrastructure functions such as finance, information systems, executives, human resources, and legal.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses increased $6.9 million, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by higher personnel-related costs due to increased headcount and increased share-based compensation.
Amortization of Intangible Assets and Acquisition-Related Costs
Amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization of acquired intangible assets, including customer relationships and trade names. Acquisition-related costs include legal expense, due diligence costs, and other professional costs incurred for business acquisitions.
The increase in amortization of intangible assets during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the same period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily driven by the intangible assets acquired through the Streamlabs acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration for Business Acquisition
The change in fair value of contingent consideration was $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to growth in Streamlabs' net sales and the achievement of the net sales targets during the six-month earn-out period.

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. The Swiss income tax provision in each period represents the income tax provision at the full statutory income tax rate of 13.63%. In the three months ended June 30, 2019 when TRAF was yet to be enacted at the federal and cantonal levels, the transition income tax provision was quantified at the full statutory income tax rate of 13.63% because at the time the canton of Vaud permitted the application of the longstanding tax ruling only through March 31, 2019. There were discrete tax benefits of $5.0 million and $1.0 million from the recognition of excess tax benefits in the United States and reversal of uncertain tax positions from the expiration of statutes of limitations, respectively, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, compared with $5.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions were $144.2 million and $140.8 million, respectively, all of which would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Balances, Available Borrowings, and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $809.4 million, compared to $715.6 million as of March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, 57% of the cash and cash equivalents were held in Switzerland, 21% held in Germany, and 14% held in Hong Kong and China. We do not expect to incur any material adverse tax impact except for what has been recognized, or be significantly inhibited by any country in which we do business from the repatriation of funds to Switzerland, our home domicile.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from exercises of stock options and purchase rights, partially offset by payment of annual bonus during the period, purchases of property, plant and equipment, and tax withholdings related to settlements of restricted stock units.
As of June 30, 2020, our working capital was $788.8 million, compared to $700.3 million as of March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher cash and cash equivalents, higher accounts receivable, net, higher inventories and lower accrued and other current liabilities, partially offset by higher accounts payable. Our working capital increased by $140.5 million compared to $648.3 million as of June 30, 2019, which was primarily driven by higher cash and cash equivalents, higher accounts receivable, net, and higher other current assets, partially offset by lower inventories and higher accounts payable and accrued and other current liabilities.
We had several uncommitted, unsecured bank lines of credit aggregating $81.9 million as of June 30, 2020. There are no financial covenants under these lines of credit with which we must comply. As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $28.5 million under these lines of credit.

(1) DSO is determined using ending accounts receivable, net as of the most recent quarter end and sales for the most recent quarter.
(2) DPO is determined using ending accounts payable as of the most recent quarter end and cost of goods sold for the most recent quarter.
(3) ITO is determined using ending inventories and annualized cost of goods sold (based on the most recent quarterly cost of goods sold).
DSO for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by 2 days to 57 days, compared to 59 days for the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to timing of sales, customer payments and sales linearity.
DPO for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 5 days, compared to 75 days for the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the timing of purchases and related payments.
ITO for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by 1.7, compared to 5.5 for the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to higher sales growth as a result of higher demand due to the COVID-19 impact.
If we are not successful in launching and phasing in our new products, or market competition increases, or we are not able to sell the new products at the prices planned, it could have a material impact on our sales, gross profit margin, operating results including operating cash flow, and inventory turnover in the future.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we generated $118.8 million of cash from operating activities. Our main sources of operating cash flows were from net income, after adding back non-cash expenses of depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of contingent considerations, and from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable, net was primarily driven by growth and timing of sales. The increase in inventories was primarily driven by an increase in inventory purchases during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The increase in accounts payable was primarily driven by the timing of purchases and related payments. The decrease in accrued and other liabilities was primarily due to payment of annual bonus during the period.
Net cash used in investing activities was $12.4 million, primarily due to $12.3 million of purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $13.1 million, primarily due to $23.1 million tax withholdings related to net share settlements of restricted stock units, partially offset by $10.0 million in proceeds received from exercises of stock options and purchase rights.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, there was a $0.5 million gain from currency exchange rate effect on cash and cash equivalents, compared to a loss of $0.5 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year. The gain from currency translation exchange effect during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the strengthening of the Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, and Taiwanese Dollar against the U.S. Dollar by 13%, 1%, and 2%, respectively, during the period.
Cash Outlook
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow generated from operations and, to a much lesser extent, capital markets and borrowings. Our future working capital requirements and capital expenditures may increase to support investments in product innovations and growth opportunities or to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, services, and technologies. The future impact of COVID-19 cannot be predicted with certainty and may increase our costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and liquidity.
In May 2020, the Board of Directors recommended that we pay cash dividends for fiscal year 2020 of CHF 134.0 million ($138.7 million based on the exchange rate on March 31, 2020). In fiscal year 2020, we paid a cash dividend of CHF 121.8 million (U.S. Dollar amount of $124.2 million) out of fiscal year 2019 retained earnings. The dividend to be paid in fiscal year 2020 and any future dividends will be subject to the approval of our shareholders.
In May 2020, our Board of Directors approved a new share buyback program, which authorizes us to invest up to $250.0 million to purchase our own shares, following the expiration date of the 2017 share buyback program. Although we enter into trading plans for systematic repurchases (e.g., 10b5-1 trading plans) from time to time, our share buyback program provides us with the opportunity to make opportunistic repurchases during periods of favorable market conditions and is expected to remain in effect for a period of three years. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, through block trades or otherwise. Opportunistic purchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors.
Our 2017 share buyback program, which authorized us to invest up to $250.0 million to purchase our own shares, expired at the end of April 2020. There was no share buyback during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
If we do not generate sufficient operating cash flows to support our operations and future planned cash requirements, our operations could be harmed and our access to credit could be restricted or eliminated. However, we believe that the trend of our historical cash flow generation, our projections of future operations and our available cash balances will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
Operating Leases Obligation
We lease facilities under operating leases, certain of which require us to pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Operating leases for facilities are generally renewable at our option and usually include escalation clauses linked to inflation. The remaining terms of our non-cancelable operating leases expire in various years through 2031.
Purchase Commitments
As of June 30, 2020, we had non-cancelable purchase commitments of $401.0 million for inventory purchases made in the normal course of business from original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers and other suppliers, as well as due to strong sales growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and the reduced level of our customers’ inventories, the majority of which are expected to be fulfilled within the next 12 months. The increase of inventory purchase commitment from March 31, 2020 is to replenish the inventory due to business growth as well as a mitigation of supply constraint in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. Non-cancelable purchase commitments for capital expenditures primarily relate to commitments for tooling for new and existing products, computer hardware, leasehold and improvements. We expect to continue making capital expenditures in the future to support product development activities and ongoing and expanded operations. Although open purchase commitments are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow us to reschedule or adjust our requirements based on business needs prior to delivery of goods or performance of services.
We recorded a liability for firm, non-cancelable, and unhedged inventory purchase commitments in excess of anticipated demand or net realizable value consistent with our valuation of excess and obsolete inventory. As of June 30, 2020, the liability for these purchase commitments was $10.0 million and is recorded in accrued and other current liabilities. Although open purchase commitments are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow us the option to reschedule and adjust our requirements based on business needs prior to delivery of goods.
Other Contractual Obligations and Commitments
For further detail about our contractual obligations and commitments, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Indemnifications
We indemnify certain suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes and product safety defects, subject to certain restrictions. The scope of these indemnities varies, but in some instances includes indemnification for damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. As of June 30, 2020, no amounts have been accrued for indemnification provisions. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under our indemnification arrangements.
We also indemnify our current and former directors and certain current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. We are unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these exposures are not capped, the obligations are conditional in nature, and the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time we are involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently subject to several such claims and a small number of legal proceedings. We believe that these matters lack merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them. Based on currently available information, we do not believe that resolution of pending matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that our defenses will be successful or that any such lawsuit or claim would not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations in a particular period. Any claims or proceedings against us, whether meritorious or not, can have an adverse impact because of defense costs, diversion of management and operational resources, negative publicity and other factors. Any failure to obtain necessary licenses or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims, could adversely affect our business.
