Unless otherwise indicated, amounts set forth in the discussion below are in thousands.

Company Overview

The Company is a leading worldwide provider of wireless devices, many of which feature location technology such as Global Positioning System (GPS), and applications that are designed for people who live an active lifestyle. We are organized in the five operating segments of fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, and auto OEM, which represent the primary markets served by the Company. We design, develop, manufacture, market, and distribute a diverse family of GPS-enabled products and other navigation, communications, sensor-based and information products for these markets, as well as products installed by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and for aftermarket applications. Our products are sold through a variety of indirect distribution channels, including a large worldwide network of independent retailers, dealers, distributors, installation and repair shops, and OEMs. We also sell our products and services directly through our online webshop (garmin.com), subscriptions for connected services, and our own retail stores.

Business Environment Update

Global economic and geopolitical conditions impact our operations and financial results, although we believe our vertically integrated and diversified business model enables us to be resilient and flexible in a dynamic business environment. Foreign currency fluctuations and rapidly changing global trade policies, particularly those affecting the United States, increase the economic and operational uncertainties that could significantly harm our business and results of operations. During the 26-week period ended June 28, 2025, net sales in the United States of imported fitness, outdoor, and marine products represented approximately 25% of total net sales. Refer to Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report for further discussion of the risks and uncertainties facing our Company.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted new tax legislation. The effects of the new United States tax legislation are not included in the Company's results for the 26-week period ended June 28, 2025 as the enactment date occurred after the end of the period. Certain provisions of the new United States tax legislation are effective for the 2025 tax year, while other provisions become effective in future years. We are currently evaluating the full effects of the new United States tax legislation. We currently estimate that the provisions effective for the 2025 tax year will result in a decrease in our originally anticipated cash outlays for income taxes in 2025, primarily due to the change in capitalization requirements of certain research and development costs, however, we estimate an increase to our full-year effective tax rate by approximately 100 basis points due to a decrease in U.S. tax deductions and credits.

Results of Operations

The following tables and discussion provides an analysis of our results of operations for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

Comparison of 13-Weeks Ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024

Net Sales

Total$1,814,56420%$1,506,671

Net sales increased 20% for the 13-week period ended June 28, 2025 when compared to the year-ago quarter. Total unit sales in the second quarter of 2025 increased to 5,203 when compared to total unit sales of 4,655 in the second quarter of 2024, which differs from the percent increase in revenue primarily due to shifts in segment and product mix. Fitness was the largest portion of our revenue mix in the second quarter of 2025 at 33%, while Outdoor was the largest portion of our revenue mix in the second quarter of 2024 at 29%.

The increase in fitness revenue was driven by strong demand for advanced wearables. Outdoor revenue increased primarily due to sales growth in adventure watches. The increase in aviation revenue was driven by sales growth in OEM and aftermarket product categories. The increase in marine revenue was driven by sales growth across multiple product categories, led by chartplotters. Auto OEM revenue increased primarily due to growth in domain controllers.

Gross profit dollars in the second quarter of 2025 increased 24%, primarily due to the increase in net sales when compared to the year-ago quarter, as described above. Consolidated gross margin increased 150 basis points when compared to the year-ago quarter due to higher margins across all segments, driven primarily by fitness and outdoor.

The fitness and outdoor gross margin increases of 300 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively, were primarily attributable to favorable product mix. Gross margin remained relatively flat within the aviation, marine, and auto OEM segments when compared to the year-ago quarter.

Operating Expense

Total operating income in the second quarter of 2025 increased 38% in absolute dollars and increased 330 basis points as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase in operating income was driven by increased sales, increased gross margin as a percent of revenue, and lower operating expenses as a percent of revenue, as described above. Operating performance improved across all segments.

Other Income (Expense)

Other Income (Expense)13-Weeks Ended June 28, 202513-Weeks Ended June 29, 2024
Interest income$31,724$29,286
Foreign currency (losses) gains(23,512)(4,828)
Other (expense) income(256)(513)
Total$7,956$23,945

The average interest rate return on cash and investments during the second quarter of 2025 was 3.2%, compared to 3.4% during the same quarter of 2024.

Foreign currency gains and losses for the Company are driven by movements of a number of currencies in relation to the U.S. Dollar. The Taiwan Dollar is the functional currency of Garmin Corporation, the Euro is the functional currency of several subsidiaries, and the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of Garmin (Europe) Ltd., although some transactions and balances are denominated in British Pounds. Other notable currency exposures include the Australian Dollar and Polish Zloty. The majority of the Company’s consolidated foreign currency gain or loss is typically driven by the significant cash and marketable securities, receivables and payables held in a currency other than the functional currency at a given legal entity.

The $23.5 million currency loss recognized in the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Taiwan Dollar, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Euro and British Pound Sterling, within the 13-week period ended June 28, 2025. During this period, the U.S. Dollar weakened 14.1% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in a loss of $67.7 million, while the U.S. Dollar weakened 8.2% against the Euro and 6.0% against the British Pound Sterling, resulting in gains of $36.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The remaining net currency gain of $4.8 million was related to the impacts of other currencies, each of which was individually immaterial.

The $4.8 million currency loss recognized in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Euro and Polish Zloty, offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Taiwan Dollar, within the 13-week period ended June 29, 2024. During this period, the U.S. Dollar strengthened 0.7% against the Euro and 0.8% against the Polish Zloty, resulting in losses of $3.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, while the U.S. Dollar strengthened 1.7% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in a gain of $8.4 million. The remaining net currency loss of $8.2 million was related to the impacts of other drivers, each of which was individually immaterial.

Income Tax Provision

The Company recorded income tax expense of $79.4 million in the 13-week period ended June 28, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $65.3 million in the 13-week period ended June 29, 2024. The effective tax rate was 16.5% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 17.9% in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in effective tax rate between comparative periods was primarily due to increased releases of uncertain tax position reserves.

Net Income

As a result of the above, net income for the 13-week period ended June 28, 2025 was $400.8 million compared to $300.6 million for the 13-week period ended June 29, 2024, an increase of $100.2 million.

Net sales increased 16% for the 26-week period ended June 28, 2025 when compared to the year-ago period. Total unit sales in the first half of 2025 increased to 9,565 when compared to total unit sales of 8,545 in the first half of 2024, which differs from the percent increase in revenue primarily due to shifts in segment and product mix. Fitness was the largest portion of our revenue mix in the first half of 2025 at 30%, while outdoor was the largest portion of our revenue mix in the first half of 2024 at 28%.

The increase in fitness revenue was driven by strong demand for advanced wearables. Outdoor revenue increased primarily due to growth in adventure watches.

Gross profit dollars in the first half of 2025 increased 17%, primarily due to the increase in net sales when compared to the year-ago period, as described above. Consolidated gross margin as a percent of net sales was relatively flat when compared to the year-ago period, as the increases in fitness and marine gross margins were partially offset by unfavorable changes in segment mix.

The fitness and marine gross margin increases of 200 and 180 basis points, respectively, were primarily attributable to favorable product mix and lower costs of goods. The outdoor, aviation, and auto OEM gross margins were relatively flat when compared to the year-ago period.

The average interest returns on cash and investments during the 26-week period ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 were 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.

Foreign currency gains and losses for the Company are driven by movements of a number of currencies in relation to the U.S. Dollar. The Taiwan Dollar is the functional currency of Garmin Corporation, the Euro is the functional currency of several subsidiaries, and the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of Garmin (Europe) Ltd., although some transactions and balances are denominated in British Pounds. Other notable currency exposures include the Australian Dollar and Polish Zloty. The majority of the Company’s consolidated foreign currency gain or loss is typically driven by the significant cash and marketable securities, receivables and payables held in a currency other than the functional currency at a given legal entity.

The $1.2 million currency gain recognized in the 26-week period ended June 28, 2025 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Euro, British Pound Sterling, and Polish Zloty, offset by the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Taiwan Dollar, within the 26-week period ended June 28, 2025. During this period, the U.S. Dollar weakened 12.4% against the Euro, 9.0% against the British Pound Sterling, and 12.8% against the Polish Zloty, resulting in gains of $49.1 million, $4.4 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, while the U.S. Dollar weakened 12.8% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in a loss of $61.6 million. The remaining net currency gain of $5.7 million was related to the impacts of other drivers, each of which was individually immaterial.

The $2.5 million currency loss recognized in the 26-week period ended June 29, 2024 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Polish Zloty, Euro, and Australian Dollar, offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Taiwan Dollar, within the 26-week period ended June 29, 2024. During this period, the U.S. Dollar strengthened 2.6% against the Polish Zloty, 2.9% against the Euro, and 2.7% against the Australian Dollar, resulting in losses of $8.5 million, $6.2 million, and $2.9 million, respectively, while the U.S. Dollar strengthened 5.6% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in a gain of $30.0 million. The remaining net currency loss of $14.9 million was related to the impacts of other drivers, each of which was individually immaterial.

Income Tax Provision

The Company recorded income tax expense of $135.7 million in the first half of 2025, compared to income tax expense of $116.4 million in the first half of 2024. The effective tax rate was 15.6% in the first half of 2025, compared to 16.8% in the first half of 2024. The decrease in effective tax rate between comparative periods was primarily due to increased tax benefits from stock-based compensation and increased releases of uncertain tax position reserves.

Net Income

As a result of the above, net income for the 26-week period ended June 28, 2025 was $733.6 million compared to $576.6 million for the 26-week period ended June 29, 2024, an increase of $157.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We primarily use cash flow from operations, and expect that future cash requirements may be used, to fund our capital expenditures, support our working capital requirements, pay dividends, fund share repurchases, and fund strategic acquisitions. We believe that our existing cash balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our short- and long-term projected working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other cash requirements.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities

As of June 28, 2025, we had approximately $3.9 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Management invests idle or surplus cash in accordance with the Company's investment policy, which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The investment policy’s primary objectives are to preserve capital, maintain an acceptable degree of liquidity, and maximize yield within the constraint of low credit risk. Garmin’s average interest rate returns on cash and investments during the first two quarters of 2025 and 2024 were 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively. The fair value of our 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. See Note 4 – Marketable Securities in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding marketable securities.

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $594.0 million for the first half of 2025, compared to $690.6 million for the first half of 2024. The increase in cash received from customers primarily driven by higher net sales was offset by increases in cash paid for cost of goods sold and operating expenses, a strategic increase in inventory, as well as an increase in cash paid for taxes, resulting in a decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2025 compared to the first half of 2024.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $246.1 million for the first half of 2025, compared to $143.2 million for the first half of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net purchases of marketable securities in the first half of 2025 compared to the first half of 2024.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $415.7 million for the first half of 2025, compared to $285.7 million for the first half of 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher purchases of treasury shares under the share repurchase plan, higher cash dividend payments, and an increase in the purchase of treasury shares related to equity awards in the first half of 2025 compared to the first half of 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The presentation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to customer sales programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

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 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 and “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates in the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 28, 2025.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There are numerous market risks that can affect our future business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024. There have been no material changes during the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 28, 2025 in the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K related to market sensitivity, inflation, foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be timely disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. As of June 28, 2025, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of June 28, 2025 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Othe****r Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal claims, actions, and complaints, including matters involving patent infringement, other intellectual property, product liability, customer claims and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters, or if not, what the impact might be. However, the Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows. For additional information, see Note 8, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the above Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are many risks and uncertainties that can affect our future business, financial performance or share price. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024. There have been no material changes to the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, or our Quarterly Report for the period ended March 29, 2025, except as described in the updated risk factor below. These risks, however, are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Changes to trade regulations, including trade restrictions, such as tariffs, duties, and sanctions, could significantly harm our results of operations.

The rapidly evolving international trade environment has created economic and operational uncertainties that could significantly harm our business and results of operations.

Certain of the goods we import are subject to tariffs and duties imposed by customs authorities of the jurisdictions into which they are imported. We manufacture our products in, and source goods from, multiple jurisdictions, such as Taiwan and China among others. New or increased tariffs, duties, or other trade restrictions imposed on products, goods, or components we import into the United States or other countries could have a substantial adverse impact on our business and financial results.

Additionally, some tariffs and duties are based on the classifications of the goods imported, which are routinely subject to review by customs authorities. We are unable to predict whether those authorities will change the determination of the classifications of any of our imports. Any such changes could result in increased tariffs or duties, or other restrictions on our importation of goods. The imposition of and our response to new or enhanced trade restrictions on imports or exports, or any selective or inconsistent application relating to trade restrictions, could result in a substantial adverse effect on our business, competitive position, results of operations, and financial condition.
