Logitech International has achieved record Q3 sales [up 6% YoY] of US$864 million, as the global gaming market continues to boom, and the acquisition of tech accessory companies contribute significantly to its bottom line.
President and CEO, Bracken Darrell, claims record results stem from its “diverse portfolio”, with double digit growth achieved across gaming, video collaboration, and creativity & productivity.
“We delivered record sales and profits in our biggest quarter of the year”
“On the back of this powerful performance, we are raising our profit outlook for the year.”
Continued growth across gaming and video collaboration has also offset weak mobile speaker and ‘smart home’ sales.
The conglomerate currently owns brands such Logitech, Logitech G, Ultimate Ears, Jaybird, ASTRO Gaming and [as of late] Blue Microphones.
