Executive Overview from Cliff Pemble, President and Chief Executive Officer:
"We delivered another quarter of outstanding financial results with double-digit growth in every segment, driven by our strong lineup of innovative and highly differentiated products that customers desire. We are very pleased with our results so far in 2025, which have exceeded our expectations and give us confidence to raise our full year guidance." -Cliff Pemble, President and Chief Executive Officer of Garmin Ltd.
Fitness:
Revenue from the fitness segment increased 41% in the second quarter with growth led by strong demand for advanced wearables. Gross and operating margins were 60% and 33%, respectively, resulting in $198 million of operating income. During the quarter, we launched the Forerunner 570 and Forerunner 970 with advanced new training features and personalized training plans from Garmin Coach for running and triathlons. Also during the quarter, we launched the new Venu® X1 with an ultrathin case and a class-leading 2-inch display resulting in a sleek and lightweight design that is easy to read and packed full of our most popular features. We also launched the Index™ Sleep Monitor, our first smart sleep band, for a more comprehensive view of users' overall fitness and recovery.
Outdoor:
Revenue from the outdoor segment increased 11% in the second quarter primarily due to growth in adventure watches. Gross and operating margins were 66% and 32%, respectively, resulting in $158 million of operating income. During the quarter, we launched the Instinct® 3 Tactical Edition, adding a bright AMOLED display and metal-reinforced bezel, a built-in LED flashlight, and a rucking activity. Also during the quarter, we launched Tread® 2, our latest all-terrain navigator, offering larger touchscreens and additional mapping options to enrich off-road adventures.
Aviation:
Revenue from the aviation segment increased 14% in the second quarter with growth contributions from both the OEM and aftermarket product categories. Gross and operating margins were 74% and 25%, respectively, resulting in $63 million of operating income. During the quarter, we launched SmartCharts, the first dynamic, data-driven charts tailored in real-time for the specific aircraft and approach being flown. Also during the quarter, we introduced the G5000® PRIME integrated flight deck, bringing our latest industry-leading cockpit innovations to Part 25 transport aircraft. We also announced that the Garmin Autoland system was certified for the Cirrus SR G7+ Series, becoming the first piston-powered aircraft equipped with this award-winning system. For the tenth consecutive year, we were recognized by Embraer as a Best Supplier, most recently in the Electrical and Electronic Systems category.
Marine:
Revenue from the marine segment increased 10% in the second quarter with growth across multiple categories led by chartplotters. Gross and operating margins were 55% and 21%, respectively, resulting in $63 million of operating income. During the quarter, we launched the GPSMAP® 15x3 chartplotters, with a premium ultrawide display. Also, we launched quatix® 8, our most advanced purpose-built smartwatch for mariners.
Auto OEM:
Revenue from the auto OEM segment increased 16% during the second quarter primarily driven by growth in domain controllers. Gross margin was 17% and we recorded an operating loss of $10 million in the quarter. We recently shipped the one millionth BMW domain controller out of our U.S. manufacturing facility, demonstrating our capability as a respected tier 1 supplier to the North American automotive market.
Additional Financial Information:
Total operating expenses in the second quarter were $595 million, a 14% increase over the prior year. Research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses increased 14% and 15%, respectively, driven primarily by personnel related costs.
The effective tax rate in the second quarter was 16.5% compared to the effective tax rate of 17.9% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in the current quarter is primarily due to an increase in uncertain tax position reserve releases as compared to the same period last year.
In the second quarter of 2025, we generated operating cash flows of $173 million and free cash flow(1) of $127 million. We paid a quarterly dividend of approximately $173 million and repurchased $67 million of the Company's shares within the quarter, leaving approximately $143 million remaining as of June 28, 2025 in the $300 million share repurchase program authorized through December 2026. We ended the quarter with cash and marketable securities of approximately $3.9 billion.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes the following measures defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-GAAP financial measures: pro forma effective tax rate, pro forma net income (earnings) per share and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting the usefulness of the measures for comparison with other companies. Management believes providing investors with an operating view consistent with how it manages the Company provides enhanced transparency into the operating results of the Company, as described in more detail by category below.
The tables below provide reconciliations between the GAAP and non-GAAP measures.
Pro forma effective tax rate
The Company's income tax expense is periodically impacted by discrete tax items that are not reflective of income tax expense incurred as a result of current period earnings. Therefore, management believes the effective tax rate and income tax provision before the effect of certain discrete tax items are important measures to permit investors' consistent comparison between periods. In the first half 2025 and 2024 there were no such discrete tax items identified.
Pro forma net income (earnings) per share
Management believes net income (earnings) per share before the impact of foreign currency gains or losses and certain discrete income tax items, as discussed above, is an important measure to permit a consistent comparison of the Company's performance between periods.

(1) Foreign currency gains and losses for the Company are driven by movements of a number of currencies in relation to the U.S. Dollar and the related exchange rate impact on the significant cash, receivables, and payables held in a currency other than the functional currency at a given legal entity. However, there is minimal cash impact from such foreign currency gains and losses.

(2) The tax effect of foreign currency gains was calculated using the effective tax rates of 16.5% and 15.6% for the 13-weeks and 26-weeks ended June 28, 2025 and 17.9% and 16.8% for the 13-weeks and 26-weeks ended June 29, 2024. |
Free cash flow
Management believes free cash flow is an important liquidity measure because it represents the amount of cash provided by operations that is available for investing and defines it as operating cash flows less capital expenditures for property and equipment. Management believes excluding purchases of property and equipment provides a better understanding of the underlying trends in the Company's operations and allows more accurate comparisons of the Company's results between periods. This metric may also be useful to investors but should not be considered in isolation as it is not a measure of cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. The most comparable GAAP measure is net cash provided by operating activities.

Forward-looking Financial Measures
The forward-looking financial measures in our 2025 guidance include certain economic assumptions such as foreign currency exchange rates and tariffs which are fluid and can rapidly change favorably or unfavorably.
The forward-looking financial measures in our 2025 guidance provided above do not consider the potential future net effect of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, certain discrete tax items and any other impacts that may be identified as pro forma adjustments in calculating the non-GAAP measures described above.
The estimated impact of foreign currency gains and losses cannot be reasonably estimated on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to non-operating foreign currency exchange gains and losses and the related tax effects of such gains and losses. The impact on diluted net income per share of foreign currency gains and losses, net of tax effects, was $0.01 per share for the 26-week period ended June 28, 2025.
At this time, management is unable to determine whether or not significant discrete tax items will occur in fiscal 2025, estimate the impact of any such items, or anticipate the impact of any other events that may be considered in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures.
