Insights

Garmin reported record Q3 revenue and operating income, raised full-year guidance, and showed broad segment strength.

Garmin delivered record consolidated revenue of $1.8 billion in the third quarter, a 12% year-over-year increase, and record operating income of $457 million (operating margin 25.8%). Several end-markets grew strongly: Fitness revenue rose 30%, Aviation 18%, and Marine 20%, while Outdoor declined 5% and Auto OEM declined 2%. Management updated full-year guidance to revenue of approximately $7.10 billion and pro forma EPS of $8.15, and announced a $0.90 quarterly dividend payment scheduled for December 26, 2025.

The business mechanism is clear: diversified hardware and software segments converted into strong consolidated cash generation, with operating cash flow of $486 million and free cash flow of $425 million in the quarter. Profitability remains robust across most segments (e.g., Aviation gross margin 75%), though Outdoor and Auto OEM showed softness and Auto OEM recorded a $17 million operating loss. Key dependencies include sustained consumer demand for advanced wearables and certification-driven aviation aftermarket uptake. Watch the holiday selling season and the company’s ability to sustain guidance into year-end; next material checkpoints are the holiday revenue cadence and the full-year results implied by the updated guidance for fiscal 2025.

Executive Overview from Cliff Pemble, President and Chief Executive Officer: 

"We achieved another quarter of strong financial results with growth in both consolidated revenue and operating income, and we experienced strong double-digit revenue growth in three business segments reflecting the strength of our unique, diversified business model. Looking ahead, we are well positioned for the holiday selling season with a strong lineup of innovative products." - Cliff Pemble, President and Chief Executive Officer of Garmin Ltd.

Fitness:

Revenue from the fitness segment increased 30% in the third quarter with growth led by strong demand for advanced wearables. Gross and operating margins were 60% and 32%, respectively, resulting in $194 million of operating income. During the quarter, we launched several new products including the Edge® 550 and Edge 850 cycling computers bringing new coaching plans and cycling metrics to the Edge lineup; the BounceTM 2 smartwatch for kids offering voice calling, messaging, and geofencing alerts; and the Venu® 4 smartwatch with a premium all-metal design, a built-in flashlight, and many new health and wellness features. We also announced a collaboration with King's College London, as the exclusive smartwatch provider for the EMBRACE program of research, to study the health of women and their partners during and after pregnancy with emphasis on detecting and managing potentially dangerous conditions such as gestational diabetes and hypertension.

Outdoor:

Revenue from the outdoor segment decreased 5% in the third quarter primarily due to consumer auto and adventure watch product categories as we compare against strong prior year product launch cycles. Gross and operating margins were 66% and 34%, respectively, resulting in $170 million of operating income. During the quarter we launched the fēnix 8 Pro series, our first-ever smartwatch with inReach satellite and cellular connectivity offering a range of on-device communication options including voice, text, tracking, and SOS using the Garmin Response Center for adventures both on and off the grid. In addition, we launched the fēnix 8 Pro – MicroLED, which is the first smartwatch to incorporate a high-resolution MicroLED display for superior brightness and readability. We also entered a new market with the launch of our BlazeTM equine wellness system specifically designed to help horse riders, owners and trainers monitor their horse's health and fitness levels. Also during the quarter, we launched several new products across our outdoor markets including the GPSMAP® H1 connected handheld, the Instinct® Crossover hybrid smartwatch, the DescentTM S1 smart buoy and X30 large-format dive computer.

Aviation:

Revenue from the aviation segment increased 18% in the third quarter with growth in both the OEM and aftermarket product categories. Gross and operating margins were 75% and 25%, respectively, resulting in $61 million of operating income. During the quarter, we certified a retrofit integrated cockpit system for the Cessna Citation CJ1. Also during the quarter, we certified Autoland and Autothrottle capability for retrofit installation in select Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft and announced additional certifications for our GFCTM 600 autopilot, bringing the performance and safety enhancing benefits of our flight control technology to more aircraft models.

Marine:

Revenue from the marine segment increased 20% in the third quarter with growth across multiple categories. Gross and operating margins were 56% and 19%, respectively, resulting in $49 million of operating income. During the quarter, we launched the Force® Current, the industry's first hands-free kayak propulsion system, and we expanded the Force Kraken trolling motor lineup which now includes a model with a 110-inch driveshaft for large fishing boats. We also launched the ECHOMAPTM Ultra 2 chartplotter with a large 16-inch display with premium mapping and exceptional sonar capabilities.

Auto OEM:

Revenue from the auto OEM segment decreased 2% during the third 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 15% and we recorded an operating loss of $17 million in the quarter. During the quarter, we shipped the three millionth BMW domain controller, demonstrating our capability as a respected tier 1 supplier to the automotive market.

Additional Financial Information:

Total operating expenses in the third quarter were $590 million, a 15% increase over the prior year. Research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses increased 15% and 14%, respectively, driven primarily by personnel related costs.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter was 21.2% compared to the effective tax rate of 17.9% in the prior year quarter. The increase in the current quarter was primarily due to the U.S. tax legislation enacted during the quarter which resulted in a year-to-date adjustment due to a decrease in expected U.S. tax deductions and credits.  

In the third quarter of 2025, we generated operating cash flows of $486 million and free cash flow(1) of $425 million. We paid a quarterly dividend of approximately $173 million and repurchased $36 million of the Company's shares within the quarter, leaving approximately $107 million remaining as of September 27, 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.

2025 Fiscal Year Guidance:

Based on our performance in the first three quarters of 2025 and recent trends, we are updating our full year 2025 guidance. We anticipate revenue of approximately $7.10 billion and pro forma EPS of $8.15 based on gross margin of 58.5%, operating margin of 25.2% and a pro forma effective tax rate of 17.5% (see attached discussion on Forward-looking Financial Measures).

Dividend Recommendation:

At the 2025 annual shareholders' meeting, Garmin shareholders, in accordance with Swiss corporate law, approved a cash dividend in the total amount of $3.60 per share, payable in four equal installments on dates to be determined by the Board in its discretion.

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 three quarters of 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 21.2% and 17.7% for the 13-weeks and 39-weeks ended September 27, 2025 and 17.9% and 17.3% for the 13-weeks and 39-weeks ended September 28, 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 $0.10 per share for the 39-week period ended September 27, 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.
