Impact of Tariff Refund

The quarterly results were boosted by a $61 million tariff refund. This payment relates to duties previously imposed under the Trump administration on products manufactured in several countries and shipped to the United States, which is Logitech's largest market.

According to the report, the refunded tariffs were on goods made in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand, and Taiwan. This one-time financial event accounted for a significant portion of the company's outperformance relative to market expectations.
