ZURICH, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Logitech on Tuesday

reported better-than-expected sales and earnings for the second

quarter as the computer peripherals maker sold more of its

artificial intelligence-enabled products.

The Swiss-American company said its sales rose 6% to $1.19

billion for the three months ended September 30.

The figure came in slightly ahead of the analyst estimate of

$1.18 billion, according to Visible Alpha.

Meanwhile, non-GAAP operating income rose 19% to $230

million, beating analysts' estimates of $196 million.

Logitech said it was being helped by increased sales to

businesses, which were investing more in products such as video

conferencing equipment and computer peripherals to help with

hybrid work.

Sales of computer keyboards rose 12%, while those of

mice jumped 13% in the quarter. Sales of video collaboration

devices rose 5%.

Gaming product sales rose 8%, helped by 12 new launches,

including steering wheels and special mice aimed at computer

gamers.

"We delivered another strong quarter, driving growth and

excellent profitability," CEO Hanneke Faber said in a statement.

The company saw strong demand from businesses and

consumers, Faber added.

Logitech - which is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, and

San Jose, California - has recently been shifting production

lines from China to lessen the impact of U.S. tariffs, while its

plant in Suzhou will continue to supply China.

Logitech also increased prices by 10% in the U.S. in

April to counter the tariff impact.

For the coming quarter, Logitech expects sales of $1.38

billion to $1.42 billion, an increase of 3%-6% when converted to

U.S. dollars.

It also said it expected non-GAAP operating income of

$270 million to $290 million.
