Item 2.05 | Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities |
The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is to amend Item 2.05 of the Current Report on Form 8-K of Logitech International S.A. (“Logitech” or the “Company”), filed on April 23, 2015, which described a restructuring, including exiting the OEM business, reorganizing Lifesize to sharpen its focus on its cloud-based offering, and streamlining the Company’s overall cost structure through product, overhead and infrastructure cost reductions and a targeted resource realignment. The restructuring is part of Logitech’s efforts to transform the company into a simpler, faster, growing company, focused on its Retail Strategic (including Profit Maximization and Growth categories) business. Logitech expects to use the savings from the restructuring to offset currency headwinds and to invest in future growth.
The Company continues to expect that it will recognize total pre-tax charges in connection with the restructuring of approximately $15 million to $20 million during the current fiscal year. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $13 million, of which cash payments of approximately $4.8 million were made during the quarter. Of the total charges, the Company anticipates that approximately $13.3 million to $18.3 million would be for one-time cash severance and other personnel costs, approximately $0.6 million would be for cash lease exit payments and approximately $1.1 million would be for other cash costs related to the restructuring.
The foregoing contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include the timing and elements of the restructuring, the scope and estimated amount of the charges of the restructuring, the timing and form of related charges, exiting the OEM business, reorganizing Lifesize, Logitech’s strategic focus and ability to transform its business, the expected use of savings from the restructuring, Logitech's ability to offset currency exchange rate fluctuations, and investment in growth. Statements regarding future events are based on Logitech’s current expectations and are subject to associated risks and uncertainties related to the completion of the restructuring in the manner anticipated by Logitech. These forward-looking statements may differ materially from actual future events or results due to a variety of factors, including: Logitech’s ability to implement the workforce reductions in various geographies; possible changes in the size, timing and components of the restructuring or the expected costs and charges associated with the restructuring; the manner in and timing by which the Company exits the OEM business; uncertainty regarding the future of currency exchange rates; and risks associated with Logitech’s ability to achieve planned expense reductions and improved performance. Please see the “Risk Factors” section of Logitech’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, for other factors that could cause Logitech’s results to vary from expectations. Logitech undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements.
