Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 29, 2025

(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 its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, we, our, us, 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, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 28, 2024 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 28, 2024.

The Company's operating results are subject to fluctuations associated with seasonal demand for consumer products, the timing of new product introductions, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customer production schedules. Therefore, operating results for the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 27, 2025.

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 March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 both contain operating results for 13 weeks.

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 1, “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 28, 2024. There were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

There are no recently adopted accounting standards that have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, accounting policies, processes, or systems.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires additional disaggregated disclosures in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of expenses that are included in the expense captions on the face of the statements of income, on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied using either a prospective or retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

2. 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, we disaggregate revenue (“net sales”) by geographic region, major product category, and pattern of recognition.

Disaggregated revenue by geographic region (Americas, EMEA, and APAC) is presented in Note 11 – Segment Information and Geographic Data. Note 11 also contains disaggregated revenue information of the five major product categories identified by the Company – fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, 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 outdoor, aviation, and auto OEM segments and relate to performance obligations that are satisfied over the estimated 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:


	13-Weeks Ended
	March 29, 2025		March 30, 2024
Point in time	$	1,453,353	$	1,306,447
Over time		81,746		75,202
Net sales	$	1,535,099	$	1,381,649

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 estimated useful life or contractual service period. Changes in deferred revenue and costs during the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025 are presented below:


	13-Weeks Ended March 29, 2025
	Deferred Revenue (1)			Deferred Costs (2)
Balance, beginning of period	$	139,318		$	30,938
Deferrals in period		73,670			13,616
Recognition of deferrals in period		(81,746	)		(17,694	)
Balance, end of period	$	131,242		$	26,860

(1) Deferred revenue is comprised of both deferred revenue and noncurrent deferred revenue per the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Deferred costs are comprised of both deferred costs and noncurrent deferred costs per the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Of the $81,746 of deferred revenue recognized in the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025, approximately $37,000 was deferred as of the beginning of the period. Of the $131,242 of deferred revenue as of March 29, 2025, the Company expects to recognize approximately 87% ratably over a total period of three years or less.

3. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share. Stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units are collectively referred to as “equity awards”. There were no anti-dilutive equity awards excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for either period presented below.


	13-Weeks Ended
	March 29, 2025		March 30, 2024
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted net income per share – net income	$	332,769	$	275,961

Denominator:
Denominator for basic net income per share – weighted-average common shares		192,544		191,890

Effect of dilutive equity awards		1,173		808

Denominator for diluted net income per share – adjusted weighted-average common shares		193,717		192,698

Basic net income per share	$	1.73	$	1.44

Diluted net income per share	$	1.72	$	1.43

4. Marketable Securities

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, 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 or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities 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.

Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale securities are summarized below:


	Available-For-Sale Securities as of March 29, 2025
	Fair Value Level	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
U.S. Treasury securities	Level 2	$	5,720	$	44	$	—		$	5,764
Agency securities	Level 2		51,194		84		(287	)		50,991
Mortgage-backed securities	Level 2		71,253		252		(2,862	)		68,643
Corporate debt securities	Level 2		1,333,884		4,470		(14,797	)		1,323,557
Municipal securities	Level 2		281,305		238		(7,394	)		274,149
Other	Level 2		2,406		12		(63	)		2,355
Total		$	1,745,762	$	5,100	$	(25,403	)	$	1,725,459


	Available-For-Sale Securities as of December 28, 2024
	Fair Value Level	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
U.S. Treasury securities	Level 2	$	4,930	$	8	$	—		$	4,938
Agency securities	Level 2		42,236		38		(477	)		41,797
Mortgage-backed securities	Level 2		43,599		—		(4,375	)		39,224
Corporate debt securities	Level 2		1,281,981		1,498		(23,837	)		1,259,642
Municipal securities	Level 2		281,295		21		(9,907	)		271,409
Other	Level 2		2,683		1		(93	)		2,591
Total		$	1,656,724	$	1,566	$	(38,689	)	$	1,619,601

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 $14,946 as of March 29, 2025, 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 13-week period ended March 29, 2025.

The Company recognizes impairments relating to credit losses of available-for-sale securities through an allowance for credit losses and other income (expense) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Impairment not relating to credit losses is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Approximately 73% of securities in the Company’s portfolio were at an unrealized loss position as of March 29, 2025.

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 March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024.

As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, 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 (expense) for the unrealized losses on agency, mortgage-backed, corporate debt, municipal, and other securities presented above because the Company does not consider the declines in fair value to have resulted from credit losses. The Company 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 March 29, 2025, by maturity, are shown below.


	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$	505,028	$	498,995
Due after one year through five years		1,223,571		1,211,086
Due after five years through ten years		10,179		9,538
Due after ten years		6,984		5,840
Total	$	1,745,762	$	1,725,459

5. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $56,309 in the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $51,079 in the 13-week period ended March 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was 14.5% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 15.6% in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in effective tax rate between comparative periods was primarily due to increased tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

6. Inventories

The components of inventories consist of the following:


	March 29, 2025		December 28, 2024
Raw materials	$	537,539	$	522,210
Work-in-process		230,099		219,294
Finished goods		814,314		732,474
Inventories	$	1,581,952	$	1,473,978

7. Warranty Reserves

The Company accrues for estimated future warranty costs at the time products are sold. The Company’s standard warranty obligation to retail partners generally provides for a right of return of any product for a full refund in the event that such product is not merchantable, is damaged, or is defective. 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 aviation, marine, and auto 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, with most claims resolved within a year of the sale. The following reconciliation presents details of the changes in the Company's accrued warranty costs:


	13-Weeks Ended
	March 29, 2025			March 30, 2024
Balance - beginning of period	$	62,473		$	55,738
Accrual for products sold (1)		22,084			18,362
Expenditures		(23,415	)		(18,881	)
Balance - end of period	$	61,142		$	55,219

(1) Changes in cost estimates related to pre-existing warranties were not material and are aggregated with accruals for new warranty contracts in the ‘accrual for products sold’ line.

8. 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 its business. The aggregate amount of purchase orders and other commitments open as of March 29, 2025 that may represent noncancelable unconditional purchase obligations having a remaining term in excess of one year was approximately $320,000.

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 $689 and $685 on March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, 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 March 29, 2025. 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 period ended March 29, 2025 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.

9. Stockholders' Equity

Dividends

Under Swiss corporate law, dividends must be approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders. Approved dividends are payable in four equal installments on dates to be determined by the Board of Directors. A reduction of retained earnings and a corresponding liability are recorded at the time of shareholders' approval and are periodically adjusted based on the number of applicable shares outstanding.

The Company's shareholders approved the following dividends:


Approval Date	Dividend Payment Date	Record Date	Dividend Per Share
Fiscal 2024
June 7, 2024	June 28, 2024	June 17, 2024	$	0.75

June 9, 2023	March 29, 2024	March 15, 2024	$	0.73
Total			$	2.92

Share Repurchase Program

On February 16, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2024 Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $300,000 of the common shares of Garmin Ltd., exclusive of the cost of any associated excise tax. 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 2024 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 26, 2026. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had repurchased 486 shares for $90,195, leaving $209,805 available to repurchase additional shares under the 2024 Program.

Treasury Shares

In March 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the cancellation of 979 shares previously purchased under a share repurchase program. The capital reduction by cancellation of these shares became effective in March 2024. Total stockholders’ equity reported for the Company was not affected.

11. Segment Information and Geographic Data

Garmin is organized in the five operating segments of fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, and auto OEM, which represent the primary markets served by the Company. These operating segments are also the Company's reportable segments.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), primarily uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss 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 reasonable manner considering the specific facts and circumstances of the expenses being allocated. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 - Accounting Policies. There are no inter-segment sales or transfers.

The Company’s segments share many common resources, infrastructures and assets in the normal course of business, and certain assets are therefore not separately tracked by segment. Thus, the Company does not report accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, intangible assets, capital expenditures, depreciation expense, or amortization expense by segment to the CODM.

The CODM utilizes operating income to assess segment performance and make strategic decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources by analyzing future opportunities and recent operating income results, trends, and variances of each segment in relation to forecasts and historical performance.

Net sales (“revenue”), cost of goods sold, gross profit, significant segment expenses, and operating income for each of the Company’s five reportable segments are presented below.

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 13-week period ended March 29, 2025, net sales in the United States of imported fitness, outdoor, and marine products was approximately $400 million. This represented approximately 25% of total net sales, which is generally representative of other recent periods. Refer to Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report for further discussion of the risks and uncertainties facing our Company.

Results of Operations

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

Comparison of 13-Weeks Ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024

Net Sales


Net Sales	13-Weeks Ended March 29, 2025			Year-over-Year Change			13-Weeks Ended March 30, 2024
Fitness	$	384,722			12	%	$	342,892
Percentage of Total Net Sales		25	%					25	%
Outdoor		438,496			20	%		366,193
Percentage of Total Net Sales		29	%					26	%
Aviation		223,114			3	%		216,855

Percentage of Total Net Sales		21	%					24	%
Auto OEM		169,329			31	%		128,973
Percentage of Total Net Sales		11	%					9	%
Total	$	1,535,099			11	%	$	1,381,649

Net sales increased 11% for the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025 when compared to the year-ago quarter. Total unit sales in the first quarter of 2025 increased to 4,362 when compared to total unit sales of 3,890 in the first quarter of 2024, which differs from the percent increase in revenue primarily due to shifts in segment and product mix. Outdoor was the largest portion of our revenue mix at 29% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 26% in the first quarter of 2024.

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 product categories. Auto OEM revenue increased primarily due to growth in domain controllers. Marine revenue decreased primarily due to the timing of promotions, which contributed to the declines across multiple product categories.

Gross Profit


Gross Profit	13-Weeks Ended March 29, 2025			Year-over-Year Change			13-Weeks Ended March 30, 2024
Fitness	$	220,142			13	%	$	194,802

Percentage of Segment Net Sales		18	%					18	%
Total	$	884,545			10	%	$	802,139
Percentage of Total Net Sales		58	%					58	%

Gross profit dollars in the first quarter of 2025 increased 10%, primarily due to the increase in net sales when compared to the year-ago quarter, as described above. Consolidated gross margin was relatively flat when compared to the year-ago quarter.

The marine gross margin increase of 270 basis points was primarily attributable to lower costs of goods and favorable product mix. Gross margin remained relatively flat within the fitness, aviation, and auto OEM segments when compared to the year-ago quarter. The outdoor gross margin decrease of 190 basis points was primarily attributable to certain higher costs of goods.

Operating Expense


Operating Expense	13-Weeks Ended March 29, 2025			Year-over-Year Change			13-Weeks Ended March 30, 2024
Research and development expense		268,120			11	%		242,535

Percentage of Total Net Sales		36	%					36	%

Total operating expense in the first quarter of 2025 increased 10% in absolute dollars and was relatively flat as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter.

Research and development expense increased 11% in absolute dollars and was relatively flat as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. The absolute dollar expense increase was primarily due to higher engineering personnel costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9% in absolute dollars and was relatively flat as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. The absolute dollar expense increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel-related expenses.

Operating Income


Operating Income (Loss)	13-Weeks Ended March 29, 2025			Year-over-Year Change			13-Weeks Ended March 30, 2024
Fitness	$	77,712			14	%	$	68,133

Total	$	332,824			12	%	$	298,410
Percentage of Total Net Sales		22	%					22	%

NM - Represents that the percentage change is not meaningful.

Total operating income in the first quarter of 2025 increased 12% in absolute dollars and was relatively flat as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase in operating income was driven by increased sales, while maintaining relatively consistent consolidated gross margin and operating expenses as a percent of revenue, as described above. The improved performance in fitness, outdoor, and auto OEM was partially offset by a decrease in aviation and marine.

Other Income (Expense)


Other Income (Expense)	13-Weeks Ended March 29, 2025		13-Weeks Ended March 30, 2024
Interest income	$	30,507	$	25,027
Foreign currency gains		24,760		2,282
Other income		987		1,321
Total	$	56,254	$	28,630

The average interest rate return on cash and investments during the first quarter of 2025 was 3.2%, compared to 3.1% 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 $24.8 million currency gain recognized in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Euro and Polish Zloty, and strengthening against the Taiwan Dollar, within the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025. During this period, the U.S. Dollar weakened 3.8% against the Euro, 5.6% against the Polish Zloty, and strengthened 1.1% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in gains of $12.6 million, $3.2 million, and $6.0 million, respectively. The remaining net currency gain of $3.0 million was related to the impacts of other currencies, each of which was individually immaterial.

The $2.3 million currency gain recognized in the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Taiwan Dollar, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Polish Zloty, Australian Dollar, and Euro within the 13-week period ended March 30, 2024. During this period, the U.S. Dollar strengthened 3.9% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in a gain of $21.6 million, while the U.S. Dollar strengthened 1.8% against the Polish Zloty, 4.6% against the Australian Dollar, and 2.2% against the Euro, resulting in losses of $6.8 million, $3.3 million, and $3.0 million, respectively. The remaining net currency loss of $6.2 million was related to the impacts of other currencies, each of which was individually immaterial.

Income Tax Provision

The Company recorded income tax expense of $56.3 million in the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $51.1 million in the 13-week period ended March 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was 14.5% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 15.6% in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in effective tax rate between comparative periods was primarily due to increased tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

Net Income

As a result of the above, net income for the 13-week period ended March 29, 2025 was $332.8 million compared to $276.0 million for the 13-week period ended March 30, 2024, an increase of $56.8 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 March 29, 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 quarters of 2025 and 2024 were 3.2% and 3.1%, 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 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding marketable securities.

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $420.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $435.3 million for the first quarter 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, an increase in cash paid for taxes, and a strategic increase in inventory on hand, resulting in relatively flat cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $132.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $36.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net purchases of marketable securities in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $204.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $156.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher purchases of treasury shares under the share repurchase plan and an increase in the purchase of treasury shares related to equity awards in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

Use of Cash

Operating Leases

The Company has lease arrangements for certain real estate properties, vehicles, and equipment. Leased properties are typically used for office space, distribution, and retail. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had fixed lease payment obligations of $202.0 million, with $38.2 million payable within 12 months.

Inventory Purchase Obligations

The Company obtains various raw materials and components for its products from a variety of third party suppliers. The Company’s inventory purchase obligations are primarily noncancelable. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had inventory purchase obligations of $947.1 million, with $774.1 million payable within 12 months.

Other Purchase Obligations

The Company’s other purchase obligations primarily consist of noncancelable commitments for capital expenditures and other indirect purchases in connection with conducting our business. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had other purchase obligations of $434.1 million, with $259.3 million payable within 12 months.

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 period ended March 29, 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 period ended March 29, 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 March 29, 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 March 29, 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 March 29, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other 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, as supplemented by the risk factor set forth 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.

The following is an amended and restated version of a risk factor included in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024:

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 that are imposed on the import of goods from certain jurisdictions in which we produce products, or from which we source goods, could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Additionally, tariffs and duties are often 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.
