Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 24, 2022
(In thousands, except per share information)
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Garmin Ltd. and wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Garmin”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 25, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Additionally, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q, and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2021. Operating results for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 24, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
The Company’s fiscal year is based on a 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday of the calendar year. Therefore, the financial results of certain 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarters, will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated 13-week quarters. The quarters ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021 both contain operating results for 13 weeks.
Changes in Classification and Allocation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified or presented to conform to the current period presentation.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company refined the methodology used in classifying certain indirect costs in accordance with the way the Company's management is now using the information in decision making, which management believes provides a more meaningful representation of costs incurred to support research and development activities. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income have been recast for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 25, 2021 to reflect reclassifications of $15,132 and $44,455, respectively, from research and development expense to selling, general, and administrative expense.
Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the methodology used to allocate certain selling, general, and administrative expenses to the segments was refined to allocate these expenses in a more direct manner to provide the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) with a more meaningful representation of segment profit or loss. The Company’s composition of operating segments and reportable segments did not change.
These changes in classification and allocation had no effect on the Company’s consolidated operating or net income.
Significant Accounting Policies
For a description of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021. There were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the 39-week period ended September 24, 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting standards and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, accounting policies, processes, or systems.
2. Inventories
The components of inventories consist of the following:
| September 24, 2022 | December 25, 2021 | |||||||
| Raw materials | $ | 539,691 | $ | 509,435 | ||||
| Work-in-process | 194,398 | 213,801 | ||||||
| Finished goods | 799,182 | 504,373 | ||||||

4. Segment Information and Geographic Data
Garmin is organized in the six operating segments of fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, consumer auto, and auto OEM. The fitness, outdoor, aviation, and marine operating segments represent reportable segments. The consumer auto and auto OEM operating segments, which serve the auto market, do not meet the quantitative thresholds to separately qualify as reportable segments, and they are therefore reported together in an “all other” category captioned as auto. Fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, and auto are collectively referred to as the Company's reported segments.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the CODM, uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss, combined with other measures, to assess segment performance and allocate resources. Operating income represents net sales less costs of goods sold and operating expenses. Net sales are directly attributed to each segment. Most costs of goods sold and the majority of operating expenses are also directly attributed to each segment, while certain other costs of goods sold and operating expenses are allocated to the segments in a manner appropriate to the specific facts and circumstances of the expenses being allocated.
As indicated in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 the methodology used to allocate certain selling, general, and administrative expenses to the segments was refined to allocate these expenses in a more direct manner to provide the Company’s CODM with a more meaningful representation of segment profit or loss. The Company’s composition of operating segments and reportable segments did not change. Results for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 25, 2021 have been recast below to conform with the current period presentation.
Net sales (“revenue”), gross profit, and operating income for each of the Company’s five reported segments are presented below, along with supplemental financial information for the auto OEM and consumer auto operating segments that management believes is useful.

5. Warranty Reserves
The Company’s standard warranty obligation to its end-users provides for a period of one to two years from the date of shipment, while certain auto, aviation, and marine OEM products have a warranty period of two years or more from the date of installation. The Company’s estimates of costs to service its warranty obligations are based on historical experience and management’s expectations and judgments of future conditions, and are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The following reconciliation provides an illustration of changes in the aggregate warranty reserve.

6. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company is party to certain commitments that require the future purchase of goods or services (“unconditional purchase obligations”). The Company’s unconditional purchase obligations primarily consist of payments for inventory, capital expenditures, and other indirect purchases in connection with conducting the business. The aggregate amount of purchase orders and other commitments open as of September 24, 2022 that may represent noncancellable unconditional purchase obligations having a remaining term in excess of one year was approximately $363,000.
Certain cash balances are held as collateral in relation to bank guarantees. This restricted cash is reported within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and totaled $707 and $785 on September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. The total of the cash and cash equivalents balance and the restricted cash reported within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets equals the total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Contingencies
Management of the Company currently does not believe it is reasonably possible that the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of recorded accruals, with respect to loss contingencies in the aggregate, for the fiscal quarter ended September 24, 2022. The results of legal proceedings, investigations and claims, however, cannot be predicted with certainty. An adverse resolution of one or more of such matters in excess of management’s expectations could have a material adverse effect in the particular quarter or fiscal year in which a loss is recorded, but based on information currently known, the Company does not believe it is likely that losses from such matters would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company settled or resolved certain matters during the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 24, 2022 that did not individually or in the aggregate have a material impact on the Company’s business or its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
7. Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $9,419 in the 13-week period ended September 24, 2022, compared to income tax expense of $16,347 in the 13-week period ended September 25, 2021. The effective tax rate was 4.3% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 5.9% in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to income mix by jurisdiction and an increase in U.S. tax deductions and credits in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $54,785 in the first three quarters of 2022, compared to income tax expense of $101,894 in the first three quarters of 2021. The effective tax rate was 7.5% in the first three quarters of 2022, compared to 11.3% in the first three quarters of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to income mix by jurisdiction and an increase in U.S. tax deductions and credits in the first three quarters of 2022 compared to the first three quarters of 2021.
8. Marketable Securities
The FASB ASC topic entitled Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The accounting guidance classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
| Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability |
| Level 2 | Observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability |
The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation is based on prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor using both market and income approaches. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, and credit spreads.
The method described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The primary objectives of the Company’s investment policy are to preserve capital, maintain an acceptable degree of liquidity, and maximize yield within the constraint of low credit risk. The fair value of securities varies from period to period due to changes in interest rates, the performance of the underlying collateral, and the credit performance of the underlying issuer, among other factors.
Accrued interest receivable, which totaled $10,506 as of September 24, 2022, is excluded from both the fair value and amortized cost basis of available-for-sale securities and is included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company writes off impaired accrued interest on a timely basis, generally within 30 days of the due date, by reversing interest income. No accrued interest was written off during the 39-week period ended September 24, 2022.
The Company recognizes impairments relating to credit losses of available-for-sale securities through an allowance for credit losses and other income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Impairment not relating to credit losses is recorded in other comprehensive income on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Approximately 97% of securities in the Company’s portfolio were at an unrealized loss position as of September 24, 2022.
The following tables display additional information regarding gross unrealized losses and fair value by major security type for available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021.

As of September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021, the Company had not recognized an allowance for credit losses on any securities in an unrealized loss position.
The Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses and charge to other income for the unrealized losses on agency, mortgage-backed, corporate debt, municipal, and other securities presented above because the Company's management does not consider the declines in fair value to have resulted from credit losses. Management has not observed a significant deterioration in credit quality of these securities, which are highly rated with moderate to low credit risk. Declines in value are largely attributable to current global economic conditions. The securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and the fair values are expected to recover as they approach maturity. Management does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities, before the respective recoveries of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity.
The amortized cost and fair value of marketable securities at September 24, 2022, by maturity, are shown below.

On June 10, 2022, the Company's shareholders approved a dividend of $2.92 per share, subject to possible adjustment based on the total amount of the dividend in Swiss Francs as approved at the annual meeting, and payable in four equal installments on dates to be determined by the Board of Directors. A reduction of retained earnings and a corresponding liability were recorded at the time of shareholders' approval and are periodically adjusted based on the number of applicable shares outstanding. The Company paid dividends of $399,074 for the 39-week period ended September 24, 2022.
On June 4, 2021, the Company's shareholders approved a dividend of $2.68 per share, $1.34 of which was paid in the Company’s 2021 fiscal year, and $1.34 of which was paid in the Company’s 2022 fiscal year.
Share Repurchase Program
On April 22, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $300,000 of the common shares of Garmin Ltd. The timing and volume of share repurchases are subject to market conditions, business conditions and applicable laws, and are at management’s discretion. Share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including under plans complying with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The share repurchase authorization expires on December 29, 2023. As of September 24, 2022, the Company had repurchased 1,187 shares for $113,736, leaving approximately $186,264 available to repurchase additional shares under the Program.

11. Revenue
In order to further depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Company's revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors, revenue (or “net sales”) is disaggregated by geographic region, major product category, and pattern of recognition.
Disaggregated revenue by geographic region (Americas, APAC, and EMEA) is presented in Note 4 – Segment Information and Geographic Data. Note 4 also contains disaggregated revenue information of the six major product categories identified by the Company – fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, consumer auto, and auto OEM.
A large majority of the Company’s sales are recognized on a point in time basis, usually once the product is shipped and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. Sales recognized over a period of time are primarily within the auto and outdoor segments and relate to performance obligations that are satisfied over the life of the product or contractual service period. Revenue disaggregated by the timing of transfer of the goods or services is presented in the table below:

Transaction price and costs associated with the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations are reflected as deferred revenue and deferred costs, respectively, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts are recognized ratably over the applicable service period or estimated useful life. Changes in deferred revenue and costs during the 39-week period ended September 24, 2022 are presented below:
