Executive Overview from Cliff Pemble, President
and Chief Executive Officer:
“We delivered another quarter of revenue and earnings growth led by
strong double-digit growth in our outdoor and aviation segments,” said
Cliff Pemble, president and chief executive officer of Garmin Ltd. “The
demand for advanced wearables was particularly strong, but was partially
offset by negative trends in the activity tracker market. Our results
thus far give us confidence in raising our outlook for the remainder of
the year.”
Outdoor:
During the second quarter of 2017, the outdoor segment grew 46% driven
by strong demand for our fēnix® 5 watch series. Gross margin improved to
66% while operating margin improved to 38%, resulting in operating
income growth of 53%. We launched the Approach® S60, our newest GPS golf
watch with a sunlight-readable color touchscreen display, and recently
announced new offerings in our Foretrex® and Rino® lineup. Looking
forward, we are focused on growth opportunities in wearables and inReach
product lines.
Aviation:
The aviation segment posted revenue growth of 15%, driven primarily by
strong aftermarket sales and positive contributions from OEM product
categories. Gross and operating margins were strong at 75% and 32%,
respectively, resulting in 28% operating income growth. During the
quarter, we announced our first Head-up Display (GHD) system for
integrated flight decks and are pleased that it will be incorporated on
the Cessna Citation Longitude coupled with the G5000® integrated flight
deck. We also received approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency
for our previously announced G1000® NXi system. Looking forward, we are
focused on maximizing ADS-B mandate opportunities and gaining share in
the OEM market.
Marine:
Revenue in the marine segment declined 3% during the quarter, with gross
and operating margins of 57% and 22%, respectively. For the first half
of the year we delivered 10% revenue growth and 9% operating income
growth and remain confident in our outlook for the year. During the
second quarter of 2017, we announced the acquisition of Active
Corporation, a developer of crowd sourced content for boaters and
launched our latest marine wearable, the quatix® 5, adding autopilot
control and the ability to mark remote multifunction display waypoints.
Looking forward, we are focused on product innovations and gaining share
in the inland fishing category.
Fitness:
Revenue in the fitness segment declined 15% during the quarter, with
gross and operating margins of 56% and 21%, respectively. The drop in
revenue was primarily driven by a decline in the activity tracker
category due to the general decline of the basic activity tracker market
and the timing of product introductions. Looking forward, we are focused
on growth opportunities in advanced wearables devices.
Auto:
The auto segment recorded revenue decline of 15% in the second quarter
of 2017, primarily due to the ongoing PND market contraction partially
offset by growth in niche categories such as fleet, camera and RV. Gross
and operating margin declined year-over-year to 45% and 13%,
respectively but increased sequentially. During the second quarter of
2017, we launched the VIRB® 360, a compact, multi-lens, full spherical
360-degree camera. The VIRB 360 offers an easy-to-use camera that
captures video up to 5K/30fps with four built in microphones and easy
upload. Looking forward, we are focused on disciplined execution to
bring desired innovation to the market and to optimize profitability in
the segment.
Additional Financial Information:
Total operating expenses in the quarter were $275 million, an increase
of 5% over the prior year. Research and development increased 11%
primarily due to engineering personnel costs related to our wearable
product offerings and aviation. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 2%, and were relatively flat as a percent of sales.
Advertising decreased 5% primarily due to reduced media spending and
lower cooperative advertising.
The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2017 was 25.0%. The pro
forma effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2017 was 21.9% (see
attached table for reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure) compared to
an effective tax rate of 21.0% in the prior year quarter. The
year-over-year increase in the pro forma effective tax rate is primarily
due to the Company’s election to align certain Switzerland corporate tax
positions with evolving international tax initiatives partially offset
by income mix by tax jurisdiction.
In the second quarter of 2017, we generated $129 million of free cash
flow (see attached table for reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure).
We continued to return cash to shareholders with our quarterly dividend
of approximately $96 million and our share repurchases activity, which
totaled approximately $36 million in the second quarter of 2017. We have
approximately $11 million remaining in the share repurchase program
authorized through December 31, 2017. We ended the quarter with cash and
marketable securities of approximately $2.3 billion.
2017 Guidance:
Based on our performance in the first half of 2017, we are updating our
full year guidance. We now anticipate revenue of approximately $3.04
billion driven primarily by higher expectations for our outdoor and
aviation segments partially offset by lower expectations for the fitness
segment. Our outlook for marine and auto is unchanged. We anticipate our
full year pro forma EPS will be approximately $2.80 based on an improved
gross margin of about 57.5%, operating margin of about 21% and a full
year pro forma effective tax rate of about 22%.

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 net
income (earnings) per share, forward-looking pro forma earnings per
share, pro forma effective tax rate, forward-looking pro forma effective
tax rate 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. 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.
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, the effective tax rate and
income tax provision before the effect of such discrete tax items are
important measures to permit consistent comparison between periods. In
fiscal 2016, there were no such discrete tax items identified.

The net release of uncertain tax position reserves, amounting to
approximately $2.9 million and $4.9 million in the first half of 2017
and 2016, respectively, have not been included as pro forma adjustments
in the above presentation of pro forma income tax provision as such
amounts tend to be more recurring in nature.
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) The majority of the Company’s consolidated foreign currency gains and losses are typically driven by movements in the Taiwan Dollar, Euro, and British Pound Sterling 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 one of the Company’s subsidiaries. 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 21.9% and 21.7% for the quarter and year-to-date ended July 1, 2017, respectively, and an effective tax rate of 21.0% and 20.0% for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 25, 2016, respectively. |
(3) The discrete tax items are discussed in the pro forma effective tax rate section. |
Free cash flow
Management believes that free cash flow is an important financial
measure because it represents the amount of cash provided by operations
that is available for investing and defines it as operating cash flow
less capital expenditures for property and equipment.

Forward-looking pro forma effective tax rate
Forward-looking pro forma effective tax rate and forward-looking pro
forma net income (earnings) per share are calculated before the effect
of certain discrete tax items. Management believes certain discrete tax
items may not be reflective of income tax expense incurred as a result
of current period earnings. Therefore, in order to permit consistent
comparison between periods, the effective tax rate and earnings per
share before the effect of such discrete tax items are important
measures. In fiscal 2017, management believes certain discrete tax items
recognized on a GAAP-basis have an effect on comparability between
periods:
-
The fiscal 2017 pro forma effective tax rate excludes certain tax
effects from share-based compensation as a result of ASU 2016-09. The
Company is unable to reasonably estimate these amounts on a
forward-looking basis due to the dependency of this item on the
underlying share price of the Company. The fiscal 2017 pro forma
effective tax rate excludes the $7.3 million tax expense resulting
from the expiration of share-based awards as discussed in the pro
forma effective tax rate section above. The impact of this discrete
tax item was $0.04 per share for the first half of 2017. -
The fiscal 2017 pro forma effective tax rate excludes the $168.8
million income tax benefit resulting from the revaluation of certain
Switzerland deferred tax assets as discussed in the pro forma
effective tax rate section above. The impact of this discrete tax item
was ($0.90) per share for the first half of 2017.
While management expects the above to have a significant impact on
comparability, management is unable to determine whether or not
additional significant discrete tax items will be identified in the
second half of 2017.
Forward-looking pro forma earnings per share (EPS)
In addition to the discrete tax items discussed in the forward-looking
pro forma effective tax rate section above, our 2017 pro forma EPS
excludes foreign currency exchange gains and losses. The estimated
impact of such 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 of such foreign currency gains and losses, net of tax effects,
was $17.5 million, or $0.09 per share for the first half of 2017.
