Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 25, 2022 (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 wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, 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, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 25, 2021 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 25, 2021. Operating results for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The Company’s fiscal year is based on a 52- 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 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021 both contain operating results for 13 weeks. Changes in Classification and Allocation Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified or presented to conform to the current period presentation. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company refined the methodology used in classifying certain indirect costs in accordance with the way the Company's management is now using the information in decision making, which management believes provides a more meaningful representation of costs incurred to support research and development activities. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income have been recast for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 26, 2021 to reflect reclassifications of $ 14,958 and $ 29,323 , respectively, from research and development expense to selling, general, and administrative expense. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the methodology used to allocate certain selling, general, and administrative expenses to the segments was refined to allocate these expenses in a more direct manner to provide the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) with a more meaningful representation of segment profit or loss. The Company’s composition of operating segments and reportable segments did not change. These changes in classification and allocation had no effect on the Company’s consolidated operating or net income. 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 2, “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 25, 2021. There were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022 . 7 Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements Recently adopted accounting standards and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, accounting policies, processes, or systems. 2. Inventories The components of inventories consist of the following: June 25, 2022 December 25, 2021 Raw materials $ 581,560 $ 509,435 Work-in-process 206,573 213,801 Finished goods 666,735 504,373 Inventories $ 1,454,868 $ 1,227,609 3. Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share. Stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units are collectively referred to as “equity awards”. 13-Weeks Ended 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 June 26, 2021 June 25, 2022 June 26, 2021 Numerator: Numerator for basic and diluted net income per share – net income $ 257,873 $ 316,997 $ 469,464 $ 537,025 Denominator: Denominator for basic net income per share – weighted-average common shares 193,074 192,150 192,980 192,023 Effect of dilutive equity awards 376 721 535 817 Denominator for diluted net income per share – adjusted weighted-average common shares 193,450 192,871 193,515 192,840 Basic net income per share $ 1.34 $ 1.65 $ 2.43 $ 2.80 Diluted net income per share $ 1.33 $ 1.64 $ 2.43 $ 2.78 Shares excluded from diluted net income per share calculation: Anti-dilutive equity awards 757 313 761 315 4. Segment Information and Geographic Data Garmin is organized in the six operating segments of fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, consumer auto, and auto OEM. The fitness, outdoor, aviation, and marine operating segments represent reportable segments. The consumer auto and auto OEM operating segments, which serve the auto market, do not meet the quantitative thresholds to separately qualify as reportable segments, and they are therefore reported together in an “all other” category captioned as auto. Fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, and auto are collectively referred to as the Company's reported segments. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the CODM, uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss, combined with other measures, 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 manner appropriate to the specific facts and circumstances of the expenses being allocated. 8 As indicated in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 the methodology used to allocate certain selling, general, and administrative expenses to the segments was refined to allocate these expenses in a more direct manner to provide the Company’s CODM with a more meaningful representation of segment profit or loss. The Company’s composition of operating segments and reportable segments did not change. Results for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 26, 2021 have been recast below to conform with the current period presentation. Net sales (“revenue”), gross profit, and operating income for each of the Company’s five reported segments are presented below, along with supplemental financial information for the auto OEM and consumer auto operating segments that management believes is useful. Auto Fitness Outdoor Aviation Marine Total Auto Consumer Auto Auto OEM Total 13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Net sales $ 272,095 $ 381,915 $ 204,739 $ 242,794 $ 139,290 $ 80,328 $ 58,962 $ 1,240,833 Gross profit 134,016 253,255 147,931 137,406 56,218 37,253 18,965 728,826 Operating income (loss) 23,462 154,250 61,745 68,619 ( 15,336 ) 9,121 ( 24,457 ) 292,740 13-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Net sales $ 413,201 $ 323,405 $ 180,832 $ 261,790 $ 147,677 $ 86,278 $ 61,399 $ 1,326,905 Gross profit 225,192 208,158 131,934 152,609 62,958 42,261 20,697 780,851 Operating income (loss) 113,733 120,843 51,126 91,091 ( 5,621 ) 16,355 ( 21,976 ) 371,172 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Net sales $ 492,992 $ 766,519 $ 379,505 $ 496,863 $ 277,617 $ 145,458 $ 132,159 $ 2,413,496 Gross profit 240,205 500,751 275,474 265,987 108,889 68,213 40,676 1,391,306 Operating income (loss) 24,043 303,229 101,871 127,501 ( 35,347 ) 12,953 ( 48,300 ) 521,297 26-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Net sales $ 721,326 $ 579,859 $ 354,721 $ 471,163 $ 272,163 $ 148,673 $ 123,490 $ 2,399,232 Gross profit 398,737 379,833 258,116 273,989 111,732 74,225 37,507 1,422,407 Operating income (loss) 184,415 212,854 96,140 153,997 ( 26,575 ) 25,393 ( 51,968 ) 620,831 Net sales to external customers by geographic region were as follows for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021.

Warranty Reserves The Company’s standard warranty obligation to its end-users provides for a period of one to two years from the date of shipment, while certain auto, aviation, and marine OEM products have a warranty period of two years or more from the date of installation. The Company’s estimates of costs to service its warranty obligations are based on historical experience and management’s expectations and judgments of future conditions, and are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The following reconciliation provides an illustration of changes in the aggregate warranty reserve. 13-Weeks Ended 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 June 26, 2021 June 25, 2022 June 26, 2021 Balance - beginning of period $ 40,698 $ 39,288 $ 45,467 $ 42,643 Accrual for products sold (1) 14,154 22,988 25,025 34,445 Expenditures ( 14,903 ) ( 17,701 ) ( 30,543 ) ( 32,513 ) Balance - end of period $ 39,949 $ 44,575 $ 39,949 $ 44,575 (1) Changes in cost estimates related to pre-existing warranties were not material and aggregated with accruals for new warranty contracts in the ‘accrual for products sold’ line. 6. 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 the business. The aggregate amount of purchase orders and other commitments open as of June 25, 2022 that may represent noncancellable unconditional purchase obligations having a remaining term in excess of one year was approximately $ 323,000 . 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 $ 746 and $ 785 on June 25, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. The total of the cash and cash equivalents balance and the restricted cash reported within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets equals the total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. 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 25, 2022. 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. The Company settled or resolved certain matters during the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022 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. 7. Income Taxes The Company recorded income tax expense of $ 21,093 in the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022, compared to income tax expense of $ 55,062 in the 13-week period ended June 26, 2021. The effective tax rate was 7.6 % in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 14.8 % in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to income mix by jurisdiction and an increase in U.S. tax deductions and credits in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. 10 The Company recorded income tax expense of $ 45,366 in the first half of 2022, compared to income tax expense of $ 85,548 in the first half of 2021. The effective tax rate was 8.8 % in the first half of 2022, compared to 13.7 % in the first half of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to income mix by jurisdiction and an increase in U.S. tax deductions and credits in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021. 8. Marketable Securities The FASB ASC topic entitled 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 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 in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets 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: Available-For-Sale Securities as of June 25, 2022 Fair Value Level Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Agency securities Level 2 7,000 — ( 597 ) 6,403 Mortgage-backed securities Level 2 158,957 3 ( 3,494 ) 155,466 Commercial paper Level 2 200,329 — — 200,329 Corporate debt securities Level 2 1,147,667 249 ( 64,004 ) 1,083,912 Municipal securities Level 2 339,483 78 ( 23,260 ) 316,301 Other Level 2 13,366 — ( 1,648 ) 11,718 Total $ 1,866,802 $ 330 $ ( 93,003 ) $ 1,774,129 Available-For-Sale Securities as of December 25, 2021 Fair Value Level Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value Agency securities Level 2 7,000 — ( 110 ) 6,890 Mortgage-backed securities Level 2 149,692 257 ( 880 ) 149,069 Commercial paper Level 2 — — — — Corporate debt securities Level 2 1,079,390 9,830 ( 11,827 ) 1,077,393 Municipal securities Level 2 356,037 1,870 ( 4,864 ) 353,043 Other Level 2 31,134 22 ( 873 ) 30,283 Total $ 1,623,253 $ 11,979 $ ( 18,554 ) $ 1,616,678 11 The Company’s investment policy targets low risk investments with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. 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 $ 11,164 as of June 25, 2022 , is excluded from both the fair value and amortized cost basis of available-for-sale securities and is included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company writes off impaired accrued interest on a timely basis, generally within 30 days of the due date, by reversing interest income. No accrued interest was written off during the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022. The Company recognizes impairments relating to credit losses of available-for-sale securities through an allowance for credit losses and other income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Impairment not relating to credit losses is recorded in other comprehensive income on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Approximately 91 % of securities in the Company’s portfolio were at an unrealized loss position as of June 25, 2022. The following tables display additional information regarding gross unrealized losses and fair value by major security type for available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 25, 2022 and December 25, 2021.

The Company has no t recorded an allowance for credit losses and charge to other income for the unrealized losses on agency, mortgage-backed, corporate debt, municipal, and other securities presented above because the Company's management does not consider the declines in fair value to have resulted from credit losses. Management has not observed a significant deterioration in credit quality of these securities, which are highly rated with moderate to low credit risk. Declines in value are largely attributable to current global economic conditions. The securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and the fair values are expected to recover as they approach maturity. Management does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities, before the respective recoveries of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. 12 The amortized cost and fair value of marketable securities at June 25, 2022, by maturity, are shown below. Amortized Cost Fair Value Due in one year or less $ 528,438 $ 526,639 Due after one year through five years 1,295,777 1,208,474 Due after five years through ten years 38,483 35,575 Due after ten years 4,104 3,441 Total $ 1,866,802 $ 1,774,129 9. Stockholders' Equity Dividends Under Swiss corporate law, dividends must be approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders. On June 10, 2022, the shareholders approved a dividend of $ 2.92 per share payable in four equal installments on dates determined by the Board of Directors, which was recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. The Company paid dividends of $ 258,249 for the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022. Share Repurchase Program On April 22, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $ 300,000 of the common shares of Garmin Ltd. The timing and volume of share repurchases are subject to market conditions, business conditions and applicable laws, and are at management’s discretion. Share repurchases 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 Program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The share repurchase authorization expires on December 29, 2023 . As of June 25, 2022, the Company had repurchased 308 shares for $ 30,646 . There remains approximately $ 269,354 available to repurchase additional shares under the Program. 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The following provides required disclosure of changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) balances by component for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022: 13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Foreign currency translation adjustment Net gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities Total Balance - beginning of period $ 66,503 $ ( 55,592 ) $ 10,911 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification, net of income tax benefit of $ 4,969 ( 64,895 ) ( 17,191 ) ( 82,086 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to other income, net of income tax benefit of $ 212 included in income tax provision — 563 563 Net current-period other comprehensive income (loss) ( 64,895 ) ( 16,628 ) ( 81,523 ) Balance - end of period $ 1,608 $ ( 72,220 ) $ ( 70,612 ) 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Foreign currency translation adjustment Net gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities Total Balance - beginning of period $ 123,415 $ ( 5,580 ) $ 117,835 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification, net of income tax benefit of $ 19,670 ( 121,807 ) ( 67,202 ) ( 189,009 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to other income, net of income tax benefit of $ 211 included in income tax provision — 562 562 Net current-period other comprehensive income (loss) ( 121,807 ) ( 66,640 ) ( 188,447 ) Balance - end of period $ 1,608 $ ( 72,220 ) $ ( 70,612 ) 13 11. 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, revenue (or “net sales”) is disaggregated by geographic region, major product category, and pattern of recognition. Disaggregated revenue by geographic region (Americas, APAC, and EMEA) is presented in Note 4 – Segment Information and Geographic Data. Note 4 also contains disaggregated revenue information of the six major product categories identified by the Company – fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, consumer auto, 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 auto and outdoor segments and relate to performance obligations that are satisfied over the life of the product or contractual service period. Revenue disaggregated by the timing of transfer of the goods or services is presented in the table below: 13-Weeks Ended 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 June 26, 2021 June 25, 2022 June 26, 2021 Point in time $ 1,179,123 $ 1,274,569 $ 2,293,324 $ 2,297,346 Over time 61,710 52,336 120,172 101,886 Net sales $ 1,240,833 $ 1,326,905 $ 2,413,496 $ 2,399,232 Transaction price and costs associated with the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations are reflected as deferred revenue and deferred costs, respectively, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts are recognized ratably over the applicable service period or estimated useful life. Changes in deferred revenue and costs during the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022 are presented below: 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Deferred Revenue (1) Deferred Costs (2) Balance, beginning of period $ 129,272 $ 28,322 Deferrals in period 115,750 7,731 Recognition of deferrals in period ( 120,172 ) ( 10,694 ) Balance, end of period $ 124,850 $ 25,359 (1) Deferred revenue is comprised of both deferred revenue and noncurrent deferred revenue per the condensed consolidated balance sheets (2) Deferred costs are comprised of both deferred costs and noncurrent deferred costs per the condensed consolidated balance sheets Of the $ 120,172 of deferred revenue recognized in the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022 , $ 55,945 was deferred as of the beginning of the period. Approximately seventy-five percent of the $ 124,850 of deferred revenue at the end of the period, June 25, 2022 , is recognized ratably over a period of three years or less. 14 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis o f Financial Condition and Results of Operations The discussion set forth below, as well as other portions of this Quarterly Report, contain statements concerning potential future events. Such forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions by management, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, including assumptions about risks and uncertainties faced by the Company. Readers can identify these forward-looking statements by their use of such verbs as expects, anticipates, believes or similar verbs or conjugations of such verbs. 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 25, 2021. This report has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) in Washington, D.C. and can be obtained by contacting the SEC’s public reference operations or obtaining it through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Readers are strongly encouraged to consider those factors when evaluating any forward-looking statement concerning the Company. The Company will not update any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report to reflect future events or developments. 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 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 25, 2021. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this document to "we", "us", "our" 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 Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation, and applications that are designed for people who live an active lifestyle. We are organized in the six operating segments of fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, consumer auto, and auto OEM. The operating segments offer products through our network of subsidiary distributors and independent dealers and distributors, our own webshop, as well as through various auto, aviation, and marine original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Each of the operating segments is managed separately. Business Environment Update Intensifying headwinds including high inflation, rising interest rates, and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to other major currencies have led to uncertainty in the economic environment. Additionally, while our global supply chain is routinely subject to component shortages, increased lead times, cost fluctuations, and logistics constraints, these factors have been further amplified by the current environment, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect these economic and supply chain challenges to persist through at least the end of 2022. While Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has not had a material direct impact on our business, and our related exposure is limited, the nature and degree of the effects of that conflict, as well as the effects of the current economic environment over time remains uncertain. Refer to Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report for further discussion of the risks and uncertainties facing our Company. Results of Operations As indicated in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 the Company refined the methodology used in classifying certain indirect costs as research and development expense, which we believe provides a more meaningful representation of costs incurred to support research and development activities. Additionally, as indicated in Note 1 and Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 the methodology used to allocate certain selling, general, and administrative expenses to the segments was refined to allocate these expenses in a more direct manner to provide the Company’s CODM with a more meaningful representation of segment profit or loss. The Company’s composition of operating segments and reportable segments did not change. 15 These changes in classification and allocation had no effect on the Company’s consolidated operating or net income. The amounts presented below for selling, general, and administrative expense, research and development expense, segment operating expense, and segment operating income for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 26, 2021 have been recast to conform with the current period presentation. Comparison of 13-Weeks ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021 Net Sales Net Sales 13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Year-over-Year Change 13-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Fitness $ 272,095 (34 %) $ 413,201 Percentage of Total Net Sales 22 % 31 % Outdoor 381,915 18 % 323,405 Percentage of Total Net Sales 31 % 24 % Aviation 204,739 13 % 180,832 Percentage of Total Net Sales 16 % 14 % Marine 242,794 (7 %) 261,790 Percentage of Total Net Sales 20 % 20 % Auto 139,290 (6 %) 147,677 Percentage of Total Net Sales 11 % 11 % Consumer Auto 80,328 (7 %) 86,278 Percentage of Total Net Sales 6 % 7 % Auto OEM 58,962 (4 %) 61,399 Percentage of Total Net Sales 5 % 5 % Total $ 1,240,833 (6 %) $ 1,326,905 Net sales decreased 6% for the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022 when compared to the year-ago quarter. Total unit sales in the second quarter of 2022 decreased to 3,743 when compared to total unit sales of 4,303 in the second quarter of 2021, which differs from the percent decrease in revenue primarily due to shifts in segment and product mix. Outdoor was the largest portion of our revenue mix at 31% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to fitness at 31% in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in outdoor revenue was primarily driven by strong demand for our adventure watches. Aviation revenue increased due to growth in both OEM and aftermarket product categories. Fitness revenue decreased due to declines across all product categories, driven primarily by our advanced wearables and cycling products. Marine revenue decreased primarily due to supply chain constraints that limited our ability to satisfy all demand for our products. The decrease in auto revenue was due to sales declines in both consumer auto and auto OEM products.

Consolidated gross margin was relatively flat when compared to the year-ago quarter, as a stronger U.S. Dollar and higher freight costs were offset by a favorable segment and product mix. The fitness, outdoor, marine, consumer auto, and auto OEM gross margins were adversely impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to other major currencies, which created downward pressure on revenues, as well as by higher freight costs. In the outdoor segment, these impacts were more than offset by a favorable product mix. 16 Operating Expense Operating Expense 13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Year-over-Year Change 13-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Advertising expense $ 43,357 1 % $ 42,939 Percentage of Total Net Sales 3 % 3 % Selling, General and administrative expenses 191,211 6 % 180,717 Percentage of Total Net Sales 15 % 14 % Research and development expense 201,518 8 % 186,023 Percentage of Total Net Sales 16 % 14 % Total $ 436,086 6 % $ 409,679 Percentage of Total Net Sales 35 % 31 % Total operating expense increased 430 basis points and 6% in absolute dollars when compared to the year-ago quarter. Advertising expense as a percent of revenue and in absolute dollars was relatively flat when compared to the year-ago quarter. Selling, general and administrative expense increased 180 basis points as a percent of revenue and 6% in absolute dollars compared to the year-ago quarter. The absolute dollar expense increase in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to increased personnel related expenses and information technology costs. A decrease in fitness expense was less than the decrease in fitness sales, resulting in an increase of 640 basis points as a percent of revenue. Increases in marine, consumer auto, and auto OEM expense, along with the corresponding decreases in sales, resulted in increases as a percent of revenue of 200, 190, and 180 basis points, respectively. Outdoor and aviation expense generally increased in line with the corresponding increases in sales. Research and development expense increased 220 basis points as a percent of revenue and 8% in absolute dollars when compared to the year-ago quarter. The absolute dollar expense increase was primarily due to higher engineering personnel costs. An increase in aviation expense was more than offset by the increase in aviation sales, resulting in a decrease of 270 basis points as a percent of revenue. Increases in fitness, marine, and consumer auto expense, along with the corresponding decreases in sales, resulted in increases as a percent of revenue of 580, 210, and 280 basis points, respectively. Auto OEM expense was relatively flat in absolute dollars and increased 230 basis points as a percent of revenue as sales declined from the year-ago quarter. Outdoor expense generally increased in line with the increase in sales. Operating Income Operating Income (Loss) 13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Year-over-Year Change 13-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Fitness $ 23,462 (79 %) $ 113,733 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 9 % 28 % Outdoor 154,250 28 % 120,843 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 40 % 37 % Aviation 61,745 21 % 51,126 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 30 % 28 % Marine 68,619 (25 %) 91,091 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 28 % 35 % Auto (15,336 ) 173 % (5,621 ) Percentage of Segment Net Sales (11 %) (4 %) Consumer Auto 9,121 (44 %) 16,355 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 11 % 19 % Auto OEM (24,457 ) 11 % (21,976 ) Percentage of Segment Net Sales (41 %) (36 %) Total $ 292,740 (21 %) $ 371,172 Percentage of Total Net Sales 24 % 28 % Operating income decreased 21% in absolute dollars and 440 basis points as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. This decrease as a percent of revenue was due to a relatively flat gross margin compared to the year-ago quarter and higher expenses, while net sales declined, as described above. Auto OEM experienced an operating loss in the current quarter, and we expect this trend to continue through 2022 as we continue to invest in certain auto OEM programs. 17 Other Income (Expense) Other Income (Expense) 13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 13-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Interest income $ 8,495 $ 7,018 Foreign currency losses (22,439 ) (7,326 ) Other income 170 1,195 Total $ (13,774 ) $ 887 The average interest rate returns on cash and investments during the second quarter of 2022 was 1.2%, compared to 0.9% during the same quarter of 2021. 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, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, 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 $22.4 million currency loss recognized in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Australian Dollar, Polish Zloty, Euro, Chinese Yuan, British Pound Sterling, and Japanese Yen, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Taiwan Dollar, within the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022. During this period, the U.S. Dollar strengthened 8.3% against the Australian Dollar, 3.1% against the Polish Zloty, 3.9% against the Euro, 4.9% against the Chinese Yuan, 7.0% against the British Pound Sterling, and 9.7% against the Japanese Yen resulting in losses of $7.2 million, $5.3 million, $3.8 million, $3.0 million, $2.4 million, and $2.3 million, respectively, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening 3.5% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in a gain of $8.9 million. The remaining net currency loss of $7.3 million was related to the impacts of other currencies, each of which was individually immaterial. The $7.3 million currency loss recognized in the second quarter of 2021 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 the British Pound Sterling, within the 13-week period ended June 26, 2021. During this period, the U.S. Dollar weakened 2.5% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in a loss of $9.5 million, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar weakening 1.2% against the Euro and 0.7% against the British Pound Sterling, resulting in gains of $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The remaining net currency gain of $0.6 million was related to the impacts of other currencies, each of which was individually immaterial. Income Tax Provision The Company recorded income tax expense of $21.1 million in the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022, compared to income tax expense of $55.1 million in the 13-week period ended June 26, 2021. The effective tax rate was 7.6% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 14.8% in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to income mix by jurisdiction and an increase in U.S. tax deductions and credits in the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022 compared to the year-ago quarter. Net Income As a result of the above, net income for the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022 was $257.9 million compared to $317.0 million for the 13-week period ended June 26, 2021, a decrease of $59.1 million. 18 Comparison of 26-Weeks ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021 Net Sales Net Sales 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Year-over-Year Change 26-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Fitness $ 492,992 (32 %) $ 721,326 Percentage of Total Net Sales 20 % 30 % Outdoor 766,519 32 % 579,859 Percentage of Total Net Sales 32 % 24 % Aviation 379,505 7 % 354,721 Percentage of Total Net Sales 16 % 15 % Marine 496,863 5 % 471,163 Percentage of Total Net Sales 21 % 20 % Auto 277,617 2 % 272,163 Percentage of Total Net Sales 11 % 11 % Consumer Auto 145,458 (2 %) 148,673 Percentage of Total Net Sales 6 % 6 % Auto OEM 132,159 7 % 123,490 Percentage of Total Net Sales 5 % 5 % Total $ 2,413,496 1 % $ 2,399,232 Net sales increased 1% for the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022 when compared to the year-ago period. Total unit sales in the first half of 2022 decreased to 7,182 when compared to total unit sales of 7,763 in the first half of 2021, which differs from the increase in revenue primarily due to shifts in segment and product mix. Outdoor was the largest portion of our revenue mix at 32% in the first half of 2022 compared to fitness at 30% in the first half of 2021. The increase in outdoor revenue was primarily driven by strong demand for our adventure watches. Aviation revenue increased due to growth in both OEM and aftermarket product categories. Marine revenue increased due to growth across multiple product categories, led by strong demand for our sonar products. The increase in auto revenue was due to sales growth in auto OEM products, partially offset by sales declines in our consumer auto products. Fitness revenue decreased due to declines across all product categories, driven primarily by our advanced wearables and cycling products. Gross Profit Gross Profit 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Year-over-Year Change 26-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Fitness $ 240,205 (40 %) $ 398,737 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 49 % 55 % Outdoor 500,751 32 % 379,833 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 65 % 66 % Aviation 275,474 7 % 258,116 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 73 % 73 % Marine 265,987 (3 %) 273,989 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 54 % 58 % Auto 108,889 (3 %) 111,732 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 39 % 41 % Consumer Auto 68,213 (8 %) 74,225 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 47 % 50 % Auto OEM 40,676 8 % 37,507 Percentage of Segment Net Sales 31 % 30 % Total $ 1,391,306 (2 %) $ 1,422,407 Percentage of Total Net Sales 58 % 59 % Gross profit dollars in the first half of 2022 decreased 2% and consolidated gross margin decreased 160 basis points when compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to higher freight costs and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to other major currencies, which created downward pressure on revenues. The fitness, outdoor, marine, and consumer auto gross margins were adversely impacted by higher freight costs and a stronger U.S. Dollar. In the outdoor segment, these impacts were partially offset by a favorable product mix. 19 Operating Expense Operating Expense 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 Year-over-Year Change 26-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Advertising expense $ 77,490 5 % $ 74,000 Percentage of Total Net Sales 3 % 3 % Selling, General and administrative expenses 381,995 8 % 352,705 Percentage of Total Net Sales 16 % 15 % Research and development expense 410,524 10 % 374,871 Percentage of Total Net Sales 17 % 16 % Total $ 870,009 9 % $ 801,576 Percentage of Total Net Sales 36 % 33 % Total operating expense increased 260 basis points as a percent of revenue and 9% in absolute dollars when compared to the year-ago period. Advertising expense as a percent of revenue was relatively flat when compared to the year-ago period and increased 5% in absolute dollars. The absolute dollar increase was primarily attributable to increased spend on tradeshows. Selling, general and administrative expense increased 110 basis points as a percent of revenue and 8% in absolute dollars when compared to the year-ago period. The absolute dollar increase in the first half of 2022 was primarily attributable to increased personnel related expenses and information technology costs. An increase in outdoor expense was more than offset by the increase in outdoor sales, resulting in a decrease of 140 basis points as percent of revenue. Consumer auto expense increased, while consumer auto sales decreased, resulting in a 160 basis point increase in expense as a percent of revenue. A decrease in fitness expense was less than the decrease in fitness sales, resulting in an increase of 660 basis points as a percent of revenue. Aviation, marine and auto OEM expense generally increased in line with the increase in sales. Research and development expense increased 140 basis points as a percent of revenue and 10% in absolute dollars when compared to the year-ago period. The absolute dollar increase was primarily due to higher engineering personnel costs. An increase in outdoor expense was more than offset by the increase in outdoor sales, resulting in a decrease of 120 basis points as percent of revenue. A decrease in auto OEM expense, along with the increase in auto OEM sales, resulted in a decrease of 510 basis points as a percent of revenue. An increase in marine expense was greater than the increase in marine sales, resulting in an increase as a percent of revenue of 120 basis points. Increases in fitness and consumer auto expense, along with the corresponding decreases in sales, resulted in increases as a percent of revenue of 630 and 300 basis points, respectively. Aviation expense generally increased in line with the increase in sales.

This decrease as a percent of revenue was due to lower gross margin and higher expenses as a percent of revenue, as described above. Auto OEM experienced an operating loss in the current period, and we expect this trend to continue through 2022 as we continue to invest in certain auto OEM programs. 20 Other Income (Expense) Other Income (Expense) 26-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 26-Weeks Ended June 26, 2021 Interest income $ 16,048 $ 14,670 Foreign currency losses (25,946 ) (15,607 ) Other Income 3,431 2,679 Total $ (6,467 ) $ 1,742 The average interest rate returns on cash and investments during the 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021 were 1.1% and 1.0%, 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, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, 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 $25.9 million currency loss recognized in the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Australian Dollar, Polish Zloty, Euro, Chinese Yuan, British Pound Sterling, and Japanese Yen partially offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Taiwan Dollar, within the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022. During this period, the U.S. Dollar strengthened 4.9% against the Australian Dollar, 8.6% against the Polish Zloty, 6.7% against the Euro, 4.9% against the Chinese Yuan, 8.4% against the British Pound Sterling, and 15.4% against the Japanese Yen resulting in losses of $6.6 million, $11.3 million, $8.9 million, $3.0 million, $2.5 million, and $3.9 million, respectively, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening 6.8% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in a gain of $17.1 million. The remaining net currency loss of $6.8 million was related to the impacts of other currencies, each of which was individually immaterial. The $15.6 million currency loss recognized in the 26-week period ended June 26, 2021 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Taiwan Dollar and strengthening against the Euro, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar weakening against the British Pound Sterling, within the 26-week period ended June 26, 2021. During this period, the U.S. Dollar weakened 0.8% against the Taiwan Dollar and strengthened 2.2% against the Euro, resulting in losses of $4.8 million and $9.8 million, respectively, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar weakening 2.4% against the British Pound Sterling resulting in a gain of $1.8 million. The remaining net currency loss of $2.8 million was related to the impacts of other currencies, each of which was individually immaterial. Income Tax Provision The Company recorded income tax expense of $45.4 million in the first half of 2022, compared to income tax expense of $85.5 million in the first half of 2021. The effective tax rate was 8.8% in the first half of 2022, compared to 13.7% in the first half of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to income mix by jurisdiction and an increase in U.S. tax deductions and credits in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021. Net Income As a result of the above, net income for the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022 was $469.5 million compared to $537.0 million for the 26-week period ended June 26, 2021, a decrease of $67.6 million. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 25, 2022, we had approximately $2.9 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. 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. 21 It is management’s goal to invest the on-hand cash in accordance with the investment policy, which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The investment policy’s primary purpose is 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 half of 2022 and 2021 were approximately 1.1% and 1.0%, respectively. The fair value of our securities varies from period to period due to changes in interest rates, in the performance of the underlying collateral, and in the credit performance of the underlying issuer, among other factors. See Note 8 for additional information regarding marketable securities. Cash Flows Cash provided by operating activities totaled $265.5 million for the first half of 2022, compared to $598.0 million for the first half of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to higher purchases of inventory associated with the Company's strategy to increase days of supply to support our increasingly diversified product lines, optimize shipping methods, and mitigate increased lead times for raw materials. Cash used in investing activities totaled $397.2 million in the first half of 2022, compared to $198.0 million for the first half of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher net purchases of marketable securities, as more desirable investment opportunities were available compared to the first half of 2021. Cash used in financing activities totaled $257.0 million for the first half of 2022, compared to $215.7 million for the first half of 2021. This increase was primarily due to the purchase of treasury stock under the share repurchase plan, and higher cash dividend payments in the first half of 2022, as our declared dividend increased from $0.61 per share for the four calendar quarters beginning in June 2020 to $0.67 per share for the four calendar quarters beginning in June 2021. 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 25, 2022, the Company had fixed lease payment obligations of $149.3 million, with $28.2 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 25, 2022, the Company had inventory purchase obligations of $1,142.8 million, with $854.3 million payable within 12 months. 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 25, 2022, the Company had other purchase obligations of $404.1 million, with $250.2 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. 22 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 2, “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 25, 2021. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates in the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitat ive 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 25, 2021. There have been no material changes during the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022 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 25, 2022, 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 25, 2022 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 25, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 23 Part II - Othe r 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 results of operations, financial position or cash flows. For additional information, see Note 6 – 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 25, 2021. Item 1A. Ri sk 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 25, 2021. There have been no material changes during the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022 in the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.
