Despite some challenges, the earnings call reflects a generally positive outlook. The company is optimistic about market recovery, particularly in the Americas during the holiday season. Pricing strategies have offset tariff impacts, and strong growth is seen in premium product segments. Management's cautious optimism and strategic focus on innovation and marketing in China further bolster a positive sentiment. However, some uncertainties remain, particularly regarding the timing of normalization in entry-level gaming pricing.
Non-GAAP Operating Income $230 million, up 19% year-over-year. This strong profitability was achieved in a quarter where mid-single-digit net sales growth year-over-year was delivered.
Net Sales Up 4% year-over-year in constant currency, supported by continued robust demand across both consumer and B2B. B2B demand outpaced consumer in the quarter.
Personal Workspace Grew year-over-year, fueled by double-digit growth in Pointing Devices and Keyboards & Combos.
Gaming Delivered 5% year-over-year growth in constant currency, driven by double-digit growth in PC gaming.
Video Collaboration Grew 3% in constant currency, driven by high growth in EMEA, while Americas was relatively flat due to the pull forward of sales highlighted in the first quarter.
Asia Pacific Region Grew 19% year-over-year in constant currency, led by sustained double-digit growth in China.
EMEA Region Grew 3% in constant currency, driven by strong growth in Video Collaboration and Personal Workspace.
Americas Region Down 4%, primarily due to the gaming market decline and lower demand early in the quarter as a result of pricing actions to offset tariffs, which improved in the latter half.
Non-GAAP Gross Margin Rate 43.8%, similar to the prior year. The negative impact of tariffs was entirely offset by price and manufacturing diversification actions. Product cost reductions offset investment in strategic promotions.
Operating Expenses Declined 3% year-over-year and were 24.4% of net sales, down 240 basis points from 26.9% in the second quarter of last year. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in G&A as a result of measures implemented to mitigate the impact of tariffs.
Cash Flow from Operations Approximately $230 million, 100% of operating income. Ended the quarter with a cash balance of $1.4 billion.
Shareholder Returns $340 million returned to shareholders in the quarter through dividends and share repurchases, consistent with capital allocation priorities.
