Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Logitech and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) for interim financial information and therefore do not include all the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no impact on previously reported net income.

 

In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2012 or any future periods.

 

Fiscal Year

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. Interim quarters are thirteen-week periods, each ending on a Friday. For purposes of presentation, the Company has indicated its quarterly periods as ending on the month end.

 

Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes in our significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared with the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. 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 from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued ASU (Accounting Standards Update) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 provides a consistent definition of fair value and ensures that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 also changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-04 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2011-04.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires disclosure of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date of the requirement in ASU 2011-05 to disclose on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12. ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The Company does not believe adoption of ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2011-08 provides entities the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test is required. An entity may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed to perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-08 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar share-based compensation awards granted by the Company are treated as potential shares in computing diluted net income or loss per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share-based awards which is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount that the employee must pay for exercising share-based awards, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax impact that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

 

Share equivalents attributable to outstanding stock options and RSUs (restricted stock units) of 15,951,244 and 11,687,238 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and 17,505,162 and 14,391,548 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the combined exercise price, average unamortized fair value and assumed tax benefits upon the exercise of options and the vesting of RSUs were greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares, and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The total pretax intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.1 million and $11.2 million. The tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from options exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2011 was immaterial.  The tax benefit realized for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $3.8 million. The total pretax intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.8 million and $17.9 million and the tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from options exercised during those periods was $0.2 million and $5.7 million. The total fair value of options vested as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $75.4 million and $76.9 million.

 

The fair value of employee stock options granted and shares purchased under the Company’s employee purchase plans was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model applying the following assumptions and values. There were no stock options granted in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and future expectations of dividend payouts. The Company has not paid dividends since 1996. The expected option life represents the weighted-average period the stock options or purchase offerings are expected to remain outstanding. The expected life is based on historical settlement rates, which the Company believes are most representative of future exercise and post-vesting termination behaviors. Expected share price volatility is based on historical volatility using daily prices over the term of the options or purchase offerings. The Company considers historical share price volatility as most representative of future volatility. The risk-free interest rate assumptions are based upon the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues appropriate for the term of the Company’s stock options or purchase offerings.

 

The Company estimates option forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

 

The following table presents the weighted average grant-date fair values of options granted and the expected forfeiture rates. There were no stock options granted in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.

The total pretax intrinsic value (fair value) of RSUs vested during the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $2.0 million. The total pretax intrinsic value (fair value) of RSUs vested during the three months ended December 31, 2010 was immaterial. The tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from RSUs vested during the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.7 million. The tax benefit realized for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was immaterial. The total pretax intrinsic value (fair value) of RSUs vested during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $3.3 million and $1.6 million and the tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from RSUs vested during these periods was $0.8 million and $0.2 million.

 

The Company determines the fair value of time-based RSUs based on the share market price on the date of grant. The fair value of performance-based RSUs is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation method applying the following assumptions:

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and future expectations of dividend payouts. The expected life of the performance-based RSUs is the service period at the end of which the RSUs will vest if the performance conditions are satisfied. The volatility assumption is based on the actual volatility of Logitech’s daily closing share price over a look-back period equal to the years of expected life. The risk free interest rate is derived from the yield on U.S. Treasury Bonds for a term of the same number of years as the expected life.

 

Defined Contribution Plans

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have defined contribution employee benefit plans covering all or a portion of their employees. Contributions to these plans are discretionary for certain plans and are based on specified or statutory requirements for others. The charges to expense for these plans for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $2.5 million and $2.3 million.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the charges to expense for these plans were $8.1 million and $6.3 million.

 

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.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes

Note 5 — 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 income taxes are generated outside of Switzerland.

 

The income tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $22.1 million and $12.4 million based on effective income tax rates of 28.5% and 16.0% of pre-tax income. For the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the income tax provision was $17.4 million and $15.8 million based on effective income tax rates of 28.7% and 11.2% of pre-tax income. The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2010 is primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The change in the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2010 is primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and discrete tax benefits of $7.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 from the closure of income tax audits in certain jurisdictions.

 

The U.S. federal research tax credit has expired as of December 31, 2011.  The income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 reflected a $1.3 million tax benefit for research tax credits.

 

As of December 31 and March 31, 2011, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and related accrued interest and penalties due to uncertain tax positions was $147.0 million and $138.1 million, of which $127.8 million and $118.2 million would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2011, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions decreased to $7.9 million from $8.0 million as of March 31, 2011.

 

The Company files Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to 1999. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has completed its field examinations of tax returns for the Company’s U.S. subsidiary for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, and has issued NOPAs (notices of proposed adjustment) related to international tax issues for those years. The Company disagrees with the NOPAs and is contesting through the administrative process for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service claims regarding 2006 and 2007. The Company believes the outcome of this examination is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated operating results.

 

In addition, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service is in the process of examining the Company’s U.S. subsidiary for fiscal years 2008 and 2009. The Company is also under examination and has received assessment notices in other tax jurisdictions. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on our results of operations.

 

Although the Company has adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions on these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. Although the timing of the resolution or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory as of December 31, 2011 includes an adjustment of $8.8 million to reflect the lower of cost or market on our inventory of Logitech Revue and related peripherals on hand. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, a valuation adjustment of $34.1 million was charged to cost of goods sold, as the result of management’s decision in early July 2011 to reduce the retail price of Logitech Revue from $249 to $99. The decrease in the adjustment from June 30 to December 31, 2011 resulted from sales of Logitech Revue which occurred in the six months ended December 31, 2011.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand deposits and time deposits. The time deposits have original maturities of less than 33 days. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

Investment Securities

 

The Company’s investment securities portfolio consists of marketable securities related to a deferred compensation plan and auction rate securities collateralized by residential and commercial mortgages.

 

The marketable securities related to the deferred compensation plan are classified as non-current trading investments and do not have maturity dates. These securities are recorded at a fair value of $13.7 million and $13.1 million at December 31 and March 31, 2011, based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Earnings, gains and losses on trading investments are included in other income (expense), net. Unrealized trading losses of $0.7 million are included in other income (expense), net for the nine months ended December 31, 2011and relate to trading securities held at December 31, 2011.

 

The auction rate securities are classified as non-current available-for-sale investments and have maturity dates in excess of 10 years. Interest rates on these securities were intended to reset through an auction every 28 days, however auctions for these securities have failed since August 2007. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company sold two of the auction rate securities with a total carrying value of $0.5 million and a total par value of $10.0 million for $6.6 million. The gain of $6.1 million is recognized in other income (expense), net. Two of the remaining securities with a total par value of $22.2 million and estimated fair value of $0.4 million have experienced events of default. The Company does not expect to realize the proceeds, if any, from its remaining auction rate securities until a future auction of these securities is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. The remaining auction rate securities have a par value and original cost of $37.5 million and $47.5 million at December 31 and March 31, 2011, and are recorded at an estimated fair value of $1.2 million and $1.7 million at December 31 and March 31, 2011. The estimated fair value was determined by estimating future cash flows through time according to each security’s terms, including periodic consideration of overcollateralization and interest coverage tests, and incorporating estimates of default rate, loss severity, prepayment, and delinquency assumptions when available, for the underlying assets in the securities based on representative indices and various research reports. The estimated coupon and principal payments were discounted at the rate of return required by investors, based on the characteristics of each security as calculated from the indices. Such valuation methods fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Management estimates the fair value of the auction rate securities held as of December 31, 2011 is the same as the fair value estimated as of March 31, 2011. Declines in fair value of the auction rate securities are deemed other-than-temporary and are included in other income (expense), net. Increases in fair value are considered temporary and are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Cash Flow Hedges

 

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to its subsidiaries’ forecasted inventory purchases. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is the foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company has designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges. Logitech does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. These hedging contracts generally mature within four months, and are denominated in the same currency as the underlying transactions. 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. The Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedges by comparing changes in the spot rate of the currency underlying the forward contract with changes in the spot rate of the currency in which the forecasted transaction will be consummated. If the underlying transaction being hedged fails to occur or if a portion of the hedge does not generate offsetting changes in the foreign currency exposure of forecasted inventory purchases, the Company immediately recognizes the gain or loss on the associated financial instrument in other income (expense). Such gains or losses were immaterial during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $54.9 million (€42.4 million) and $59.9 million (€45.1 million). The notional amount represents the future cash flows under contracts to purchase foreign currencies.

 

Other Derivatives

 

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables or payables. These forward contracts generally mature within three months. The Company may also enter into foreign exchange swap contracts to economically extend the terms of its foreign exchange forward contracts. The primary risk managed by using forward and swap contracts is the foreign currency exchange rate risk. The gains or losses on foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in earnings based on the changes in fair value.

 

The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010 relating to foreign currency receivables or payables were $28.7 million and $11.0 million. Open forward contracts as of December 31, 2011 consisted of contracts in euros to sell British pounds and contracts in Australian dollars to purchase U.S. dollars at future dates at pre-determined exchange rates. The notional amounts of foreign exchange swap contracts outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $37.3 million and $19.7 million. Swap contracts outstanding at December 31, 2011 consisted of contracts in Canadian dollars, Taiwanese dollars, Mexican pesos and Japanese yen.

 

The fair value of all our foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts is determined based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company reclassified its foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities from Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy to Level 2, to reflect the inputs used to measure fair value as observable inputs other than quoted market prices.

Our acquisition of Mirial S.r.l. on July 18, 2011 added $14.4 million to goodwill. The impact of foreign exchange rates reduced goodwill by $1.5 million. Mirial’s business has been fully integrated into the Company’s LifeSize division, and discrete financial information for Mirial is not maintained. Accordingly, the acquired goodwill related to Mirial is evaluated for impairment at the video conferencing reporting unit level.

 

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test of each reporting unit during its fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently, if certain events or circumstances warrant. The Company’s reporting units consist of peripherals and video conferencing. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model, which considers estimates of projected future operating results and cash flows, discounted at an estimated after-tax weighted-average cost of capital. In addition, market-based valuation techniques are used to test the reasonableness of the value indicated by the discounted cash flow model. In the market-based valuation technique, the implied premium of the aggregate fair value over the market capitalization is considered attributable to an acquisition control premium, which is the price in excess of a stock’s market price that investors would typically pay to gain control of an entity. The discounted cash flow model and the market-based valuation techniques require the exercise of significant judgment, including assumptions about appropriate discount rates, long-term growth rates for purposes of determining a terminal value at the end of the discrete forecast period, economic expectations, timing of expected future cash flows, and expectations of returns on equity that will be achieved. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities other than goodwill, comparing the resulting implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount, and recording an impairment charge for the difference.

 

Management performed a goodwill impairment analysis of each of its reporting units in the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The carrying value of goodwill attributable to the peripherals and video conferencing reporting units was $220.9 million and $339.2 million as of December 31, 2011. Management determined that the fair value of our peripherals reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit by more than 30% of the carrying value, and the fair value of our video conferencing reporting unit exceed the carrying value of the reporting unit by more than 80% of the carrying value. Management continues to evaluate and monitor all key factors impacting the carrying value of the Company’s recorded goodwill, as well as other long-lived assets. Further adverse changes in the Company’s expected operating results, market capitalization, business climate, or other negative events could result in a non-cash impairment charge in the future.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, changes in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets related primarily to our acquisition of Mirial.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, amortization expense for other intangible assets was $6.7 million and $7.2 million. For the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, amortization expense for other intangible assets was $20.2 million and $21.2 million. The Company expects that amortization expense for the three-month period ending March 31, 2012 will be $6.7 million, and annual amortization expense for fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015 will be $24.4 million, $18.2 million, and $9.1 million, and $1.3 million thereafter.

Financing Arrangements
Financing Arrangements

Note 9 — Financing Arrangements

 

In December 2011, the Company entered into a Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with a group of primarily Swiss banks that provides for a revolving multicurrency unsecured credit facility in an amount of up to $250 million. The Company may, upon notice to the lenders and subject to certain requirements, arrange with existing or new lenders to provide up to an aggregate of $150 million in additional commitments, for a total of $400 million of unsecured revolving credit. The credit facility may be used for working capital, general corporate purposes, and acquisitions. There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility at December 31, 2011.

 

The credit facility matures on October 31, 2016. The Company may prepay the loans under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the credit facility will accrue interest at a per annum rate based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), or EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) in the case of loans denominated in euros, plus a variable margin determined quarterly based on the ratio of senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the preceding four-quarter period, plus, if applicable, an additional rate per annum intended to compensate the lenders for the cost of compliance with regulatory reserve requirements and other banking regulations. The Company also pays a quarterly commitment fee of 40% of the applicable margin on the available commitment. In connection with entering into the credit facility, the Company incurred non-recurring fees totaling $1.5 million, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the credit facility.

 

The facility agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default customary in Swiss credit markets. Affirmative covenants include covenants regarding reporting requirements, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of properties and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and financial covenants that require the maintenance of net senior debt, interest cover and adjusted equity ratios determined in accordance with the terms of the facility. Negative covenants limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, among other things, to grant liens, make investments, incur debt, make restricted payments, enter into a merger or acquisition, or sell, transfer or dispose of assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions.

 

Upon an uncured event of default under the facility, the lenders may declare all or a portion of the outstanding obligations payable by the Company to be immediately due and payable, terminate their commitments and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the facility. The events of default under the facility include, among other things, payment defaults, covenant defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events and events that have a material adverse effect (as defined in the facility). Upon a change of control of the Company, lenders whose commitments aggregate more than two-thirds of the total commitments under the facility may terminate the commitments and declare all outstanding obligations to be due and payable.

 

The Company had several uncommitted, unsecured bank lines of credit aggregating $82.3 million at December 31, 2011. There are no financial covenants under these lines of credit with which the Company must comply. At December 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit.

Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company leases facilities under operating leases, certain of which require it to pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Operating leases for facilities are generally renewable at the Company’s option and usually include escalation clauses linked to inflation. Total future minimum annual rentals under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2011 amounted to $93.1 million. The increase in future minimum annual rentals as of December 31, 2011 compared with March 31, 2011 was due to approximately $35 million related to new facilities for our Americas operations in Northern California, and approximately $13 million for an expansion of our LifeSize headquarters in Austin, Texas.

 

In connection with its leased facilities, the Company has recognized a liability for asset retirement obligations representing the present value of estimated remediation costs to be incurred at lease expiration. The following table describes changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligation liability for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Product Warranties

 

Certain of the Company’s products are covered by warranty to be free from defects in material and workmanship for periods ranging from one year to five years. At the time of sale, the Company accrues a warranty liability for estimated costs to provide products, parts or services to repair or replace products in satisfaction of the warranty obligation.

Total purchase commitments

 

$

Commitments for inventory purchases are made in the normal course of business to original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers and other suppliers and are expected to be fulfilled by March 2012. Operating expense commitments are for consulting services, marketing arrangements, advertising, outsourced customer services, information technology maintenance and support services, and other services. Fixed purchase commitments for capital expenditures primarily related to commitments for tooling, computer hardware and leasehold improvements. Although open purchase orders are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow the Company the option to reschedule and adjust its requirements based on the business needs prior to delivery of goods or performance of services.

 

Guarantees

 

Logitech International S.A., the parent holding company, has guaranteed payment of the purchase obligations of various subsidiaries from certain component suppliers. These guarantees generally have an unlimited term. The maximum potential future payment under the guarantee arrangements is limited to $30.0 million. At December 31, 2011, there were no purchase obligations outstanding for which the parent holding company was required to guarantee payment.

 

Logitech Europe S.A., a subsidiary of the parent holding company, has guaranteed the purchase obligations of another Logitech subsidiary and third-party contract manufacturers under four guarantee agreements. Two of these guarantees do not specify a maximum amount. The remaining two guarantees have a combined total limit of $7.2 million. As of December 31, 2011, $2.8 million of guaranteed purchase obligations were outstanding under these guarantees.

 

Logitech International S.A. and Logitech Europe S.A. have guaranteed certain contingent liabilities of various subsidiaries related to transactions occurring in the normal course of business. The maximum amount of the guarantees was $83.1 million as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, $15.5 million of guaranteed liabilities were subject to these guarantees.

 

Indemnifications

 

Logitech indemnifies some 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. No amounts have been accrued for indemnification provisions at December 31, 2011. 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.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On May 23, 2011, a class action complaint was filed against Logitech International S.A. and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of individuals who purchased Logitech shares between October 28, 2010 and April 1, 2011. The complaint relates to Logitech’s disclosure on March 31, 2011 that its results for fiscal year 2011 would fall below expectations and seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief against the defendants. The action was transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on July 28, 2011. The California Court appointed a lead plaintiff on October 27, 2011. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 9, 2012 which expanded the alleged class period to between October 28, 2010 and September 22, 2011.

 

On July 15, 2011, a complaint was filed against Logitech International S.A. and two of its subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by Universal Electronics, Inc. (UEI). The complaint alleges that Logitech’s Harmony remotes, Logitech Revue for Google TV and other products for the digital home infringe one or more of the seventeen UEI patents asserted in the action, and seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief against the defendants. On November 3, 2011, the Company filed a counter suit against UEI for infringement of five patents by various UEI products, for UEI’s abuse of the legal process in suing the Company on three expired patents, and for unfair competition.

 

In addition, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims relating to commercial matters that arise in the normal course of business.

 

The Company believes these lawsuits and claims lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. However, there can be no assurances that its defenses will be successful, or that any judgment or settlement in any of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. The Company’s accruals for lawsuits and claims as of December 31, 2011 were not material.

The Company has two operating segments, peripherals and video conferencing, based on product markets and internal organizational structure. The peripherals segment encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of peripherals for PCs (personal computers), tablets and other digital platforms. The video conferencing segment consists of the LifeSize division, and encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of LifeSize video conferencing products, infrastructure and services for the enterprise, public sector and other business markets. The Company’s operating segments do not record revenue on sales between segments, as such sales are not material.

 

Operating performance measures for the peripherals segment and the video conferencing segment are reported separately to Logitech’s acting Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the Company’s chief operating decision maker. These operating performance measures do not include share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and assets by operating segment. Share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets are presented in the following financial information by operating segment as “all other.” Long-lived assets are presented by geographic region. Net sales, operating income and depreciation and amortization for the Company’s operating segments were as follows (in thousands):

Note 13 — Acquisitions

 

On July 18, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Mirial S.r.l., a Milan-based privately-held provider of personal and mobile video conferencing solutions, for a total consideration of $18.8 million (€13.0 million), net of cash acquired of $1.4 million (€1.0 million). In addition, Logitech incurred $0.4 million in transaction costs, which are included in operating expenses. Mirial has been integrated into the LifeSize division, and we expect that its technology will be used to enhance video connection capabilities on a variety of mobile devices and networks.

 

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the total consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined by Company management based on information available at the date of acquisition. The results of operations of Mirial were included in Logitech’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and were not material to the Company’s reported results.

 

The allocation of total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Mirial were as follows (in thousands):

$

The existing technology of Mirial relates to the software and architecture which provides the ability to engage in high quality video conferencing on mobile phones, tablets and personal computers. The value of the technology was determined based on the present value of estimated expected future cash flows attributable to the technology. Customer relationships and other relates to the ability to sell existing, in-process, and future versions of the technology to Mirial’s existing customer base, valued based on projected discounted cash flows generated from customers in place. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

On July 6, 2010, Logitech acquired substantially all of the assets and employees of Paradial AS, a Norwegian company providing firewall and NAT (network address translation) traversal solutions for video communications. The acquisition will allow the Company to closely integrate firewall and NAT traversal across its video communications product portfolio, enabling end-to-end HD video calling over highly protected networks. The acquisition has been treated as an acquisition of a business and has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The total consideration paid of $7.3 million was allocated based on estimated fair values to $7.0 million of identifiable intangible assets and $0.1 million of assumed liabilities, with the remaining balance allocated to goodwill. The intangible assets acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is not subject to amortization and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Fiscal Year

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. Interim quarters are thirteen-week periods, each ending on a Friday. For purposes of presentation, the Company has indicated its quarterly periods as ending on the month end.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. 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 from those estimates.
