Garmin Ltd. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 28, 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 and 26-week periods ended June 28, 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-week 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 June 28, 2025 and June 29, 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 26-week period ended June 28, 2025.
7
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.

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 |
9
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:

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 $
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

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 June 28, 2025 that may represent noncancelable unconditional purchase obligations having a remaining term in excess of one year was approximately $
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 $
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 June 28, 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.
12
The Company settled or resolved certain matters during the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 28, 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.

11. Segment Information and Geographic Data
Garmin is organized in the
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 (loss) for each of the Company’s five reportable segments are presented below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The discussion set forth below, as well as other portions of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, contain statements concerning potential future events. Such forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions by management, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including assumptions about risks and uncertainties faced by the Company. Readers can identify these forward-looking statements by their use of such words as "future", "expects", "anticipates", "believes", “estimates”, “would”, “could”, “can”, “may,” or other similar words or other comparable terms. If any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect or should unanticipated circumstances arise, actual results could materially differ from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The differences could be caused by a number of factors or combination of factors including, but not limited to, those factors identified in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024. Readers are strongly encouraged to consider those factors when evaluating any forward-looking statement concerning the Company. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect future events or developments, except as required by law.
The information contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this document to "we", "us", "our", the "Company" and similar terms refer to Garmin Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
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.

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.

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. 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 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.
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 June 28, 2025, the Company had fixed lease payment obligations of $213.9 million, with $41.1 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 June 28, 2025, the Company had inventory purchase obligations of $1,026.3 million, with $802.4 million payable within 12 months.
23
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 June 28, 2025, the Company had other purchase obligations of $417.0 million, with $206.3 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 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 - 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. 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.
