Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, or any future periods.
 
Reclassification

Certain amounts from the comparative period in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the condensed consolidated financial statement presentation as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016.

Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
 
There have been no substantial changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared with the significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. Examples of significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve the fair value of goodwill, intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions, warranty liabilities, accruals for discretionary customer programs, sales return reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, restructuring charges, contingent consideration from business acquisitions and periodical reassessment of its fair value, 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 those estimates.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Under the new model, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 was originally to be effective for the Company on April 1, 2017. In July 2015, the FASB affirmed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard. The new standard will become effective for the Company on April 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before the original effective date of annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations" (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" (“ASU 2016-10”); and ASU No. 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients" (“ASU 2016-12”). The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “new revenue standards”). The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is in process of assessing all potential impacts of the new standard. The new revenue standard will be adopted effective April 1, 2018.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330)" ("ASU 2015-11"). Topic 330, Inventory, currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market, with market value represented by replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 require an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 for the Company, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments- Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10)”. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 for the Company, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this guidance and does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases in the statement of financial position. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the full effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and will adopt the standard effective April 1, 2019.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). The amendment simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including immediate recognition of all excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the income statement, changing the threshold to qualify for equity classification up to the employees' maximum statutory tax rates, allowing an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur, and clarifying the classification on the statement of cash flows for the excess tax benefit and employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company will adopt this standard effective April 1, 2017 and is in the process of evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which gives guidance and reduces diversity in practice with respect to certain types of cash flows. The Company has early adopted this guidance during the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 and the adoption did not impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory"  ("ASU 2016-16"), which eliminates the deferral of income tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers until the transferred asset is sold to an unrelated party or recovered through use.  ASU 2016-16, however, does not apply to intra-entity transfer of inventory.  The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim reporting periods within those annual periods.  Early adoption is permitted but only in the first interim period of a fiscal year.  The cumulative effect of change on equity upon adoption is to be quantified under the modified retrospective approach and recorded as of the beginning of the period of adoption.  The Company is evaluating the full effect that ASU 2016-16 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and will adopt the standard effective April 1, 2018.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"), which requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-18 will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and is evaluating the timing of adoption of this standard.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 330)"("ASU 2017-04"),  which removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The standard will be effective for the Company for annual or any interim goodwill impairments in fiscal year beginning December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-14 will have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and is evaluating the timing of adoption of this standard.


Note 2 — Discontinued operations

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Lifesize video conferencing business. Subsequently, on December 28, 2015 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company and Lifesize, Inc.(“Lifesize”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which held the assets of the Company’s video conferencing reportable segment, entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with entities affiliated with three venture capital firms - Redpoint Ventures, Sutter Hill Ventures and Meritech Capital Partners (the "Venture Investors"). Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 2.5 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock of Lifesize to the Venture Investors for cash proceeds of $2.5 million and retained 12 million non-voting shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Lifesize. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Lifesize retained by the Company represent 37.5% of the total shares outstanding immediately after the closing of the transactions (the "Closing"). Lifesize also issued 17.5 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Venture Investors for cash proceeds of $17.5 million. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Venture Investors represent 62.5% of the total shares outstanding immediately after the Closing. In addition, Lifesize reserved 8 million shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to a stock plan to be adopted by Lifesize following the Closing, none of which are issued or outstanding at the Closing. The divestiture of the Lifesize video conferencing business was effective on December 28, 2015. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and includes certain indemnification obligations of the Company to the Venture Investors. See “Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information. The Stock Purchase Agreement also contains certain post-closing working capital adjustments. The Company substantially completed its transition services for Lifesize during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017.

The Company has classified the results of its Lifesize video conferencing business as discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented since the disposition of the Lifesize video conferencing business represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The retained Series A Preferred Stock gives the Company no voting rights or any other significant

influence over the disposed Lifesize video conferencing business, and therefore is accounted for as a cost method investment which is initially recognized at fair value of $5.6 million at the date of disposition of the Lifesize video conferencing business.

Discontinued operations include results of the Lifesize video conferencing business. Discontinued operations also include other costs incurred by Logitech to effect the divestiture of the Lifesize video conferencing business. These costs include transaction charges, advisory and consulting fees and restructuring cost related to the Lifesize video conferencing business.

Note 3 — Business Acquisitions

Jaybird Acquisition

On April 20, 2016 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired all of the equity interest of JayBird, LLC (“Jaybird”), a Utah limited liability company that develops Bluetooth earbuds, activity trackers, and accessories for sports and active lifestyles, for a purchase price of $54.2 million in cash, including a working capital adjustment and payment of a line-of-credit on behalf of Jaybird, with an additional earn-out of up to $45.0 million based on the achievement of certain net revenue growth targets over approximately a two year period (the "Jaybird Acquisition"). If the net revenue growth targets are met, the Company will pay a maximum of $25.0 million and $20.0 million in fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Jaybird Acquisition is expected to accelerate the Company's entry into the wireless wearables space.

The Jaybird transaction meets the definition of a business and is accounted for using the acquisition method. The fair value of consideration transferred for the Jaybird Acquisition consists of the following (in thousands):
 
Purchase price
 
$
54,242

Fair value of contingent consideration (earn-out)
 
18,000

Fair value of total consideration transferred
 
$
72,242


The fair value of the earn-out payments at the Acquisition Date was determined by providing risk-adjusted earnings projections using a Monte Carlo Simulation, which includes inputs that are not observable in the market,

and therefore representing a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of this earn-out is discussed further in "Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements" to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the total consideration transferred to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date (in thousands):

Net assets acquired

Goodwill is primarily attributable to opportunities and economies of scale from combining the operations and technologies of Logitech and Jaybird. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Inventory is estimated at net realizable value, which uses the estimated selling prices, less the cost of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling efforts. Upon sales of the inventory, the difference between the fair value of the inventories and the amount recognized by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date, which is $0.7 million, is recognized in "amortization of intangibles assets and purchase accounting effect on inventory" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company included Jaybird's estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in its condensed consolidated balance sheets beginning April 20, 2016. The results of operations for Jaybird have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations from the Acquisition Date.

The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired at their estimated fair values and their estimated useful lives as of the Acquisition Date (Dollars in thousands):

Except for IPR&D, intangible assets acquired as a result of the Jaybird Acquisition are being amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of amortization. Amortization of acquired developed technology of $1.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 is included in "Amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting effect of inventory" in the gross profit of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of the intangible assets of customer relationship and trade name of $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended

14
Table of Contents

December 31, 2016 is included in "amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related costs" in the operating expense of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Developed technology relates to existing bluetooth wireless sports earbuds. The economic useful life was determined based on the technology cycle related to developed technology of existing products, as well as the cash flows anticipated over the forecasted periods.

Customer relationships represent the fair value of future projected revenue that will be derived from sales of products to existing customers of Jaybird. The economic useful life was determined based on historical customer turnover rates and the industry benchmarks.

Trade name relates to the “Jaybird” trade name. The economic useful life was determined based on the expected life of the trade name and the cash flows anticipated over the forecasted periods.

The value of developed technology and trade names was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach (Level 3), which estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of the intangible assets that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. A royalty rate is applied to the projected revenues associated with the intangible assets to determine the amount of savings, which is then discounted to determine the fair value. The developed technology and trade names were valued using royalty rates of 10% and 2.5%, respectively, and both were discounted at a rate of 16%.

The value of customer relationships was estimated using the excess earnings method, an income approach (Level 3), which converts projected revenues and costs into cash flows. To reflect the fact that certain other assets contribute to the cash flows generated, the returns for these contributory assets were removed to arrive at estimated cash flows solely attributable to the customer relationships, which was discounted at a rate of 16%.

The IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and is not amortized until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. If the research and development efforts are completed, the IPR&D intangible asset will be amortized over the estimated useful life to be determined as of the date the efforts are completed. IPR&D is tested for impairment annually or periodically if an indicator of impairment exists during the period until completion. The IPR&D related to the X3 earbuds was released during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 and will be amortized over its estimated useful life of five years.

The Company believes the preliminary value of purchased intangible assets recorded above represent the fair values of, and approximate the amounts a market participant would pay for, these intangible assets as of the Acquisition Date.

Saitek Acquisition

On September 15, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the Saitek product line for a total cash consideration of approximately $13.0 million (the "Saitek Acquisition"). Out of the total consideration, $6.7 million was attributed to intangible assets, $4.9 million was attributed to goodwill, and $1.4 million was attributed to net tangible assets acquired. The Saitek Acquisition is expected to enhance the breadth and depth of the Company's product offerings and expand the Company's engineering capabilities in simulation products. The amount of goodwill generated from the Saitek Acquisition is deductible for tax purposes and is not material.

The Company incurred acquisition-related costs for both the Jaybird Acquisition and the Saitek Acquisition of approximately $0.2 million and $1.5 million, in aggregate, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The acquisition-related costs are included in "amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related costs" in the operating expense of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, Jaybird and Saitek contributed a total of $17.4 million and $47.3 million of net sales, respectively.

Pro forma results of operations for both the Jaybird Acquisition and the Saitek Acquisition have not been presented because they are not material to the condensed consolidated statements of operations individually or in aggregate.

Table of Contents

The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisitions. As additional information becomes available, such as finalization of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the fair value of contingent consideration, the Company may revise its preliminary purchase price allocations during the remainder of the measurement periods (which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition dates). Any such revisions or changes may be material as we finalize the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

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 cost recorded of $2.8 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $8.4 million and $8.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, was primarily related to service costs.
 
Note 6 — 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 income tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $1.6 million based on an effective income tax rate of 1.7% of pre-tax income, compared to an income tax provision of $1.4 million based on an effective income tax rate of 2.1% of pre-tax income for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The income tax provision for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was $10.3 million based on an effective income tax rate of 5.8% of pre-tax income, compared to an income tax provision of $7.0 million based on an effective income tax rate of 5.9% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. 

The change in the effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, is due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. In the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was a discrete tax benefit of $9.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively, from the reversal of uncertain tax positions from the expiration of statutes of limitations. In the nine months ended December 31, 2015, there was an additional discrete tax benefit of $2.2 million from the preferential income tax rate reduction pursuant to the High and New Technology Enterprise Program in China.

As of December 31 and March 31, 2016, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions was $66.6 million and $69.9 million, respectively, all of which would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized.
 
The Company had $55.6 million in non-current income taxes payable and $1.5 million in current income taxes payable, including interest and penalties, related to its income tax liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2016 compared to $59.7 million in non-current income taxes payable and $0.1 million in current income taxes payable as of March 31, 2016. The Company anticipates a settlement with the tax authorities in a foreign jurisdiction in the next twelve months and reclassed $1.4 million from non-current income taxes payable to current income taxes payable as of December 31, 2016.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31 and March 31, 2016, the Company had $3.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
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. During fiscal year 2017, the Company will continue to review its tax positions and provide for or reverse unrecognized tax benefits as issues 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 $12.1 million from the lapse of the statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions during the next twelve months.

Note 8— 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.

Investment Securities
 
The marketable securities for the Company's deferred compensation plan are recorded at a fair value of $14.7 million and $14.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized trading gains / (losses) related to trading securities for the three or nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were not material and are included in "other income (expense), net" in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration

The acquisition-related contingent consideration liability arising from the Jaybird Acquisition (see "Note 3 - Business Acquisitions" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information) represents the future potential earn-out payments of up to $45 million based on the achievement of certain net revenue targets over approximately a two year period. If the net revenue targets are met, the Company will pay a maximum of $25 million and $20 million in fiscal years 2018 and 2019, respectively. The fair value of the earn-out as of the Acquisition Date was $18 million, which was determined by using a Monte Carlo Simulation that includes significant unobservable inputs such as a risk-adjusted discount rate of 16% and projected net sales of Jaybird over the earn-out period. The fair value is remeasured at each reporting period at the estimated fair value based on the inputs on the date of remeasurement, with the change in fair value recognized as "change in fair value of contingent consideration for business acquisition" in the operating expense section in the condensed consolidated statements

Table of Contents

of operations. Projected net sales are based on our internal projections, including analysis of the target markets. The fair value of the contingent consideration was decreased to $8.1 million as of December 31, 2016. The change in fair value of contingent consideration results primarily from Jaybird's lower-than-expected net sales during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and revised projected net sales in the remaining earn-out period, primarily driven by supply constraints, an evolving product portfolio and changes in the competitive target market.

Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, the estimates could change significantly from period to period. Any changes to the significant unobservable inputs used, including change in the forecast of net sales for the earn-out periods, may result in change in the fair value of contingent consideration, and could have a material impact on future results of operations. Actual payment of contingent consideration in the future could be different from the current estimated fair value of the contingent consideration.
 
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company’s non-marketable cost method investments, and non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at fair value only upon initial recognition or if an impairment is recognized. There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Non-marketable cost method investments. These investments are classified as Level 3 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 primary investment included in non-marketable investments is the Company’s investment in Series A Preferred Stock of Lifesize recorded at the fair value of $5.6 million on the date of the Lifesize divestiture.
 
The aggregate recorded amount of cost method investments included in other assets as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016 was $7.4 million.

Note 9 - 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 December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016.

The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments were not material as of December 31, 2016 or March 31, 2016. The following table presents the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments on a gross basis in other current assets or accrued and other current liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges
 
The Company enters into currency exchange forward contracts to hedge against exposure to changes in currency exchange rates related to its subsidiaries’ forecasted inventory purchases. The Company has one entity with a Euro functional currency that purchases inventory in U.S. Dollars. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is the currency exchange rate risk. However, there can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in currency exchange rates. The Company has designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges. These hedging contracts 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 currency exposure of forecasted inventory purchases, the Company immediately recognizes the gain or loss on the associated financial instrument in other income (expense), net. Such gains and losses were not material during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The notional amounts of currency exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $55.7 million and $39.8 million at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Company estimates that $2.7 million of net gains related to its cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2016 will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
 
Other Derivatives
 
The Company also enters into currency exchange forward and swap contracts to reduce the short-term effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables or payables. 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 currency exchange contracts are recognized in other income (expense), net based on the changes in fair value.
 

23
Table of Contents

The notional amounts of currency exchange forward and swap contracts outstanding as of December 31 and March 31, 2016 relating to foreign currency receivables or payables were $86.6 million and $63.7 million, respectively. Open forward and swap contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016 consisted of contracts in Mexican Pesos, Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Taiwanese Dollars, Canadian Dollars and Australian Dollars to be settled at future dates at pre-determined exchange rates.
 
The fair value of all 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 10 — Goodwill

The Company performed its annual impairment analysis of the goodwill as of December 31, 2016 by performing a qualitative assessment and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its peripherals reporting unit, the only reportable segment of the Company, exceeded its carrying amount. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company considered the impact of these key factors: change in industry and competitive environment, growth in market capitalization to $4.0 billion as of December 31, 2016 from $2.5 billion a year ago, and budgeted-to-actual revenue performance from the last twelve months.

Note 11 — Financing Arrangements
 
The Company had several uncommitted, unsecured bank lines of credit aggregating $43.2 million as of December 31, 2016. There are no financial covenants under these lines of credit with which the Company must comply. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding bank guarantees of $18.3 million under these lines of credit. There was no borrowing outstanding under these lines of credit as of December 31, 2016 or March 31, 2016.

Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies
 
Product Warranties
 
All of the Company’s peripherals products sold are covered by warranty to be free from defects in material and workmanship.  For products launched prior to April 1, 2014, the standard warranty period was up to five years. Starting from April 1, 2014, the standard warranty for all new products launched was changed to two years from date of purchase for European Countries and generally one year from date of purchase for all other countries. 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. The Company’s estimate of costs to fulfill its warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectations of future conditions. When the Company experiences changes in warranty claim activity or costs associated with fulfilling those claims, the warranty liability is adjusted accordingly.

Other Contingencies
 
In April 2016, the Company entered into a settlement with the SEC related to the accounting for Revue inventory valuation reserves that resulted in the restatement described in the Fiscal Year 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, revision to its consolidated financial statements concerning warranty accruals and amortization of intangible assets presented in its Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on August 7, 2013, and its transactions with a distributor for Fiscal Year 2007 through Fiscal Year 2009. The Company entered into the settlement without admitting or denying the findings of the SEC’s investigation and paid a civil penalty of $7.5 million in April 2016.
 
Guarantees
 
Logitech Europe S.A. guaranteed payments of certain third-party contract manufacturers’ purchase obligations. As of December 31, 2016, the maximum amount of this guarantee was $3.8 million, of which $1.7 million of guaranteed purchase obligations were outstanding.

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 December 31, 2016, 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.

The stock purchase agreement entered on December 28, 2015 in connection with the investment by three venture capital firms in Lifesize, Inc. contains representations, warranties and covenants of Logitech and Lifesize, Inc. to the Investors. Logitech has agreed, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify the Investors and certain persons related to the Investors for certain losses resulting from breaches of or inaccuracies in such representations, warranties and covenants as well as certain other obligations, including third-party expenses, restructuring costs and pre-closing tax obligations of Lifesize.

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 necessary license or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims, could adversely affect the Company’s business.

Note 13 — Shareholders’ Equity
 
Share Repurchase Program

In March 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2014 share buyback program, which authorizes the Company to use up to $250.0 million to purchase its own shares. The Company’s share buyback program 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 trading plan or otherwise. Opportunistic share repurchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, 0.9 million shares were repurchased for $20.9 million. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended December 31, 2015. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 3.3 million and 3.5 million shares were repurchased for $63.8 million and $48.8 million, respectively.
 
Cash Dividend on Shares of Common Stock

During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of CHF 0.56 (USD equivalent of $0.57) per common share, totaling $93.1 million on the Company's outstanding common stock. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of CHF 0.51 (USD equivalent of $0.53) per common share, totaling $85.9 million on the Company's outstanding common stock.

Any future dividends will be subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders.

Note 15 — Restructuring

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to exit the OEM business, reorganize Lifesize to sharpen its focus on its cloud-based offering, and streamline the Company's overall cost structure through product, overhead and infrastructure cost reductions with a targeted resource realignment. Charges and other costs related to the workforce reduction and structure realignment are presented as restructuring charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On a total company basis, including the Lifesize video conferencing business as reported in discontinued operations, the Company has incurred approximately $25.5 million under this restructuring plan, including approximately $24.4 million for cash severance and other personnel costs. The Company substantially completed this restructuring plan by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016.
