Executive Overview from Cliff Pemble, President and Chief Executive Officer:
“2019 was another exciting year of growth thanks to our strong lineup of products and unique innovations,” said Cliff Pemble, president and chief executive officer of Garmin Ltd. “We entered 2020 with a great lineup of recently introduced products with more on the way. We are excited about the future because each business segment offers unique growth opportunities for 2020 and beyond.”
Fitness:
Revenue from the fitness segment grew 34% in the fourth quarter driven by strength in advanced wearables and contributions from Tacx. Gross margin and operating margin were 48% and 20%, respectively, resulting in 26% operating income growth. During the quarter, we announced our support of the Runner’s Alliance, an initiative to fight harassment experienced by women while running.
Aviation:
Revenue from the aviation segment grew 22% in the fourth quarter with contributions from both the aftermarket and OEM categories. Growth was broad-based across multiple product categories, with ADS-B being a major contributor. Gross margin and operating margin were 71% and 33%, respectively, resulting in 18% operating income growth. We expanded the availability of the G1000® NXi upgrade adding both the King Air C90 and the Embraer Phenom 100 to our list of certified aircraft.
Marine:
Revenue from the marine segment grew 22% in the fourth quarter driven by our innovative product lineup of chartplotters, advanced sonars, and the revolutionary new Force trolling motor. Gross margin and operating margin improved to 60% and 19%, respectively, resulting in 154% operating income growth. During the quarter, we expanded our flagship chartplotter line-up with the new GPSMAP Plus series and the ECHOMAP® UHD series.
Outdoor:
Revenue from the outdoor segment grew 16% in the fourth quarter with significant contributions from adventure watches. Gross margin and operating margin were 66% and 39%, respectively, resulting in 21% operating income growth. During the quarter, we announced a global collaboration with World Central Kitchen, providing inReach® satellite communication devices to help support disaster relief with emergency response efforts around the globe.Since its launch in 2011, Garmin inReach has provided remote communication and rescue facilitation in over 4,000 SOS incidents, demonstrating the crucial importance of satellite based two-way messaging wherever our customers need assistance.
Auto:
The auto segment recorded a decline in revenue of 15% during the fourth quarter, primarily due to the ongoing PND market contraction and lower year-over-year OEM sales. Gross margin and operating margin were 47% and 2%, respectively. At the recent Consumer Electronics Show, we announced our new dual-lens Dash Cam Tandem that captures quality video both inside and outside of the vehicle.
Additional Financial Information:
Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $363 million, an 11% increase over the prior year. Research and development increased 12%, primarily due to engineering personnel costs and incremental costs associated with acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10%, driven primarily by personnel related expenses and incremental costs associated with acquisitions. Advertising increased 13%, driven by higher spending in the fitness and outdoor segments.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, we reported a $73 million income tax benefit. Excluding the $118 million income tax benefit due to the revaluation and step-up of certain Switzerland tax assets, our pro forma effective tax rate(1) in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 15.5% compared to 18.0% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in the current quarter pro forma effective tax rate is primarily due to income mix by jurisdiction.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, we generated approximately $208 million of free cash flow(1). We ended the quarter with cash and marketable securities of approximately $2.6 billion.

|
2020 Guidance (2):
We expect 2020 revenue of approximately $4.0 billion as growth in fitness, outdoor and marine is partially offset by declines in the auto segment. We expect our full year pro forma EPS will be approximately $4.60 based upon gross margin of approximately 59.2%, operating margin of approximately 23.5% and a full year pro forma effective tax rate of approximately 10.0%. The expected year-over-year decrease in the pro forma tax rate is primarily due to the migration of intellectual property ownership from Switzerland to the United States.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the methodology used to allocate certain selling, general, and administrative expenses to the segments was refined. The Company’s composition of segments did not change. Prior year amounts are presented above as they were originally reported. For comparative purposes, we estimate segment operating income for the 13 weeks ended December 29, 2018 would have been approximately $5 million less for the aviation segment, approximately $1 million more for the marine segment, $4 million more for the outdoor segment, and not significantly different for the fitness and auto segments. We estimate segment operating income for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2018 would have been approximately $18 million less for the aviation segment, approximately $11 million more for the marine segment, approximately $7 million more for the outdoor segment, and not significantly different for the fitness and auto segments.

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, 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, 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 disclosure of 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 2018, there were no such discrete tax items identified.

Effective tax rate is calculated by taking the income tax provision divided by income before taxes, as presented on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. |
|
|
(2) |
In fourth quarter 2019, a $118 million income tax benefit was recognized resulting from the revaluation and step-up of certain Switzerland tax assets as a result of the enactment of Switzerland Federal and Schaffhausen cantonal tax reform and related transitional measures. This impact is not reflective of income tax expense incurred as a result of current period earnings and therefore affects period-to-period comparability. |
|
The net release of uncertain tax position reserves, amounting to approximately $28.9 million and $31.0 million for the 52-weeks ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively, have not been included as pro forma adjustments in the above presentation of pro forma income tax provision as such items 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.

The majority of the Company’s consolidated foreign currency gains and losses are 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 15.5% for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 28, 2019, respectively, and an effective tax rate of 18.0% and 15.7% for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 29, 2018, respectively. |

The discrete tax item is discussed in the pro forma effective tax rate section above. |

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 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 operating performance and allows more accurate comparisons of the Company’s operating results to historical performance. 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 2020 guidance provided above do not consider the potential future net effect of certain discrete tax items, foreign currency exchange gains and losses, and any other impacts that may be identified as pro forma adjustments in calculating the non-GAAP measures described above.
At this time, management is unable to determine whether or not significant discrete tax items will occur in fiscal 2020, reasonably estimate such foreign currency gains and losses, or anticipate the impact of any other events that may be considered in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures.
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 $0.07 per share for the 52-weeks ended December 28, 2019.
