Management noted that growth and profitability accelerated again this quarter, and as a result it is raising the annual outlook. The growth trends that drive the business have accelerated as society adjusts to its new reality. Overall, the firm believes that its products are essential to helping customers work, play and create wherever they are. President and CEO Bracken Darrell concluded that Logitech is well positioned for long-term growth.

Looking ahead to the 2021 fiscal full year, the company now expects to see sales growth in the range of 35% to 40% in constant currency and $700 million to $725 million in non-GAAP operating income. The previous outlook called for 10% to 13% in sales growth and $410 million to $425 million in non-GAAP operating income. Analysts are calling for $2.32 in EPS and $3.35 billion in revenue for the fiscal full year.
