Executive Overview from Cliff Pemble, President and Chief Executive Officer:
“2025 was another year of remarkable growth and achievement for Garmin with record consolidated revenue, record revenue in all five of our segments, and record consolidated operating income. We attribute this strong performance to our strategic focus on market diversification and creating superior products that are essential to our customers’ lives. Looking forward, we anticipate building on this momentum with many exciting new product launches throughout the year. I am very proud of what we accomplished in 2025 and look forward to seizing the opportunities ahead.” - Cliff Pemble, President and Chief Executive Officer of Garmin Ltd.
Fitness:
Revenue from the fitness segment increased 42% in the fourth quarter primarily due to strong demand for wearables driven by both market share gains and market growth. Gross and operating margins were 59% and 34%, respectively, resulting in $257 million of operating income. During the quarter, we announced our collaboration with healthcare payments provider Truemed to assist customers who wish to use pre-tax HSA/FSA funds for qualifying purchases of select Garmin products. We recently published our annual Garmin Connect™ Data Report which shows that, on average, our users increased activity levels by 8% during the year reflecting a high level of engagement with our products and app platforms. At the recent CES, the Venu® 4 and Forerunner® 970 received Innovation Awards for novel features in digital health and fitness, and we announced exciting enhancements to our premium Connect+ offering with nutrition tracking and insights powered by AI-based Garmin Active Intelligence to help users achieve nutrition and overall wellness goals.
Outdoor:
Revenue from the outdoor segment was flat when compared to the prior year quarter as we compare against strong prior year product launch cycles. Gross and operating margins were 66% and 37%, respectively, resulting in $234 million of operating income. During the quarter we launched the Garmin DriveTrack™ 72, a multifunction GPS navigator that tracks up to 20 dogs. Also during the quarter, we launched the inReach® Mini 3 Plus satellite communicator with voice, text and photo sharing. This compact and rugged communicator offers essential SOS safety features and helps explorers stay connected with loved ones while adventuring beyond cellphone coverage. Several outdoor products received CES Innovation Awards including the fēnix® 8 Pro-MicroLED, the Blaze™ Equine Wellness System and the Descent™ S1 Buoy which highlights our commitment to explore new product categories and develop groundbreaking technologies.
Aviation:
Revenue from the aviation segment increased 16% in the fourth quarter with growth contributions from both the OEM and aftermarket product categories. Gross and operating margins were 76% and 31%, respectively, resulting in $85 million of operating income. During the quarter, we launched the D2™ Air X15 and the D2 Mach 2, our latest aviator smartwatches with cockpit connectivity and advanced aviation, health, fitness and smartwatch features. Also, we announced that the Garmin G5000H™ cockpit system was selected for Brazilian Air Force UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, part of a growing list of military modernization programs based on our advanced commercially available integrated cockpit systems. Our Garmin Autoland system was used for the first time to return an aircraft safely to the ground following an in-flight malfunction, demonstrating the extraordinary potential of this groundbreaking system to improve aviation safety and save lives.
Marine:
Revenue from the marine segment increased 18% in the fourth quarter with growth across multiple categories led by chartplotters. Gross and operating margins were 52% and 18%, respectively, resulting in $52 million of operating income. During the quarter, we expanded our chartplotter lineup with the flagship GPSMAP 9000xsv, offering stunning 4K resolution displays, 5Ghz Wi-Fi networking, and industry-leading sonar performance. Also during the quarter, we launched Garmin OnBoard™, a versatile man overboard and engine cutoff solution for boaters that uses wireless technology, offering users the freedom to move around the boat while still enjoying the protection of this important safety system. Gamin OnBoard was selected as the winner of the Safety & Security Aboard category in the 2025 DAME Design Award. Additionally, we were awarded a 2025 National Boating Safety Award from the Sea Tow Foundation and were named Most Innovative Marine Company by Soundings Trade Only.
Auto OEM:
Revenue from the auto OEM segment decreased 3% during the fourth quarter as certain legacy programs
approach end-of-life and were partially offset by growth in our most recent BMW domain controller program. Gross margin was 17%, and we recorded an operating loss of $14 million in the quarter. At the recent CES, we introduced our next-gen Garmin Unified Cabin™ domain controller that adds digital key capability, seat specific audio/video, and an AI assistant designed to make vehicle interactions more conversational and powerful. We also announced our collaboration with Meta to explore new ways of interacting with the automobile.
Additional Financial Information:
Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $644 million, a 14% increase over the prior year. Research and development increased 14% primarily due to engineering personnel costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 14%, driven primarily by increased advertising investments and personnel related costs.
The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter was 16.8% compared to the effective tax rate of 15.6% in the prior year quarter. The increase in the current quarter effective tax rate compared to the prior year is primarily due to the new U.S. tax legislation, resulting in a reduction in U.S. tax deductions and credits.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we generated operating cash flow of $554 million and free cash flow(1) of $430 million. We paid a quarterly dividend of approximately $173 million and repurchased $51 million of the Company’s shares within the quarter. We ended the quarter with cash and marketable securities of approximately $4.1 billion.
2026 Fiscal Year Guidance(2):
We expect full-year 2026 revenue of $7.9 billion, an increase of 9% over 2025. We expect our full-year pro forma EPS to be $9.35 based upon gross margin of 58.5%, operating margin of 25.5% and pro forma effective tax rate of 16.0%.

Dividend Recommendation and New Share Repurchase Program:
The Board of Directors intends to recommend to the shareholders for approval at the annual meeting to be held on June 5, 2026, a cash dividend in the amount of $4.20 per share, payable in four equal installments on dates to be determined by the Board. The Board currently anticipates the scheduling of the dividend in four installments as follows:

In addition, the Board has established March 27, 2026 as the payment date and March 13, 2026 as the record date for the final dividend installment of $0.90 per share, per the prior dividend approval at the 2025 annual shareholders’ meeting. The first, second and third payments of $0.90 per share were made on June 27, 2025, September 26, 2025, and December 26, 2025, respectively.
On February 13, 2026, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of the Company’s shares through December 30, 2028 pursuant to a new share repurchase program effective February 20, 2026. This new share repurchase program replaces the $300 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board on February 16, 2024, pursuant to which the Company repurchased $244 million of Company shares through December 27, 2025, which was terminated by the Board effective February 19, 2026 in connection with the Board’s authorization of the new share repurchase program. The timing and volume of any share repurchases under this authorization will be determined by management at its discretion. Share repurchases, which are subject to market conditions, other business conditions and applicable legal requirements, 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 share repurchase authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time.

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 a consistent comparison between periods. In the full year 2025 and 2024 there were no such discrete tax items identified.
Pro forma net income (earnings) per share
Management believes that 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 in order 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 and losses was calculated using the pro forma effective tax rate of 16.8% and 17.4% for the 13-weeks and fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, respectively, and the pro forma effective tax rate of 15.6% and 16.7% for the 13-weeks and fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, respectively. |

Free cash flow
Management believes that 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 that 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 2026 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 2026 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 $0.03 per share for the 52 weeks ended December 27, 2025.
At this time, management is unable to determine whether or not significant discrete tax items will occur in fiscal 2026 or anticipate the impact of any other events that may be considered in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures.
