Mice sales boost results

Logitech revenues up 15 per cent

Cordless mice and speakers contribute to sales growth

Written by Martin Courtney

Computer peripherals specialist Logitech International reported net income of $66.3m (£33.3m) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, up from $56.2m (£28.2m) in the fourth quarter of 2006. The company saw sales revenues increase by 17 per cent to $601.2m (£301.9m) in the same period.

Sales of cordless mice for the quarter grew 58 per cent year on year, with speakers up 24 per cent and retail video up 9 per cent. OEM sales, driven by strong demand for microphones used for console based online gaming, grew 34 per cent, said the company.

Full year results were less spectacular: net income remained flat at $231m (£116m), despite sales revenues rising 15 per cent to $2.4bn (£1.2bn) from $2.1bn (£1bn) in fiscal year 2006.
