Note:  In accordance with GAAP, the Company is deferring significant revenue and the related costs associated with high margin sales of certain products bundled with content and services over their economic lives. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company deferred, net of amortization of previous deferrals, $24 million of revenue, $7 million of costs, and approximately $0.08 of diluted EPS, net of taxes, into future years.  This compares to third quarter of 2010 net deferrals of $29 million of revenue, $3 million of costs, and approximately $0.10 of diluted EPS, net of taxes.  A table outlining the impact of this net deferral in both 2011 and 2010 is included for reference.  In the third quarter, the Company changed the per unit revenue and cost deferral primarily due to the shrinking price difference between bundled products and non-bundled products.  A footnote outlining the basis for the change, and its impact, is provided in the Company’s 10Q to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.   Results have not been adjusted unless specifically stated as such.

Business highlights:

·  
Sold 3.5 million units in the third quarter of 2011, with positive performance in our EMEA operations offset by declines in the Americas and APAC.
·  
Introduced our 2012 nüvi® line-up with products for every lifestyle and budget ranging from Essential to Advanced to Prestige.
·  
Announced the Edge® 200 and Vector™ power meter for the cycling community with the Edge 200 shipping in 2011 and Vector in early 2012.
·  
Delivered the aera® 795 and 796 portable touchscreen aviation navigators with premium features and capabilities that can only be delivered with a dedicated device.
·  
Shipped the Montana™ series of handhelds featuring a 4” touchscreen, sunlight readable display, 5 MP camera and other advanced features desired by our high-end outdoor customers.

Executive overview from Dr. Min Kao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer:

“In the third quarter, revenue again exceeded our expectations with fitness and aviation delivering strong growth even though macroeconomic conditions continued to be challenging.  Free cash flow generation continued to be strong at $174 million in the third quarter.  This supports our high yield quarterly dividend, as well as ongoing diversification through research and development investment and strategic acquisitions,” said Dr. Min Kao, chairman and chief executive officer of Garmin Ltd. “Based on our results in the quarter, we now expect to deliver revenues of approximately $2.6 billion and pro forma EPS of $2.30 - $2.40 in 2011.

The automotive/mobile segment posted a 13% revenue decline in the third quarter but was ahead of our expectations.   Market share gains in our EMEA operations contributed growth but were offset by the significant volume declines in the North American PND market.  Our average selling price (ASP) in the quarter was relatively stable due to an increase in the popularity of our bundled product offerings, offset by a decrease in the ASP of comparable models from the prior year.  The reported operating margin for the segment was 15% driven by product mix and the updated deferred revenue model associated with certain bundled products.   When adjusted for net deferred revenue and costs associated with bundled products, operating margin would have been 18%.

The outdoor segment posted revenue growth of 5% including contributions from our recent acquisition of Tri-Tronics.  This was slightly below expectation as growth in the quarter was restrained due to the limited availability of new products.  Both our Approach® S1 for the golfers and our Astro® 320 dog tracking product sold very well.    We have also seen our new eTrex®, GPSMAP® 62 and Montana series of handhelds gain significant traction with the outdoor consumers which we believe will be a contributing factor to improving growth rates in the fourth quarter as supply improves.

The fitness segment posted revenue growth of 29% with strong results continuing from our high-end Forerunner® 610 and Edge 800.  While we have seen an increasing number of competitors in the fitness market, we have maintained our top position in the GPS-enabled fitness category by offering a range of products from entry-level with basic functionality like “how far and how fast” to the high-end Forerunner 910 for the triathlete market.

The marine segment posted revenue growth of 4% with chartplotters and fishfinders contributing growth.  We continue to build the Garmin brand in the marine industry and were pleased to be selected as the official supplier of marine navigation systems to the 34th America’s Cup, illustrating our ability to deliver customized systems to the sailboat racing community.  We are investing heavily in both research and development and support infrastructure as we grow our long-term OEM presence.

The aviation segment posted revenue growth of 18% as the retrofit market improved year-over-year driven by new product introductions.  We also experienced a slight increase in OEM equipment deliveries, even as the overall general aviation market remains depressed.  We are excited about the two recent key OEM business jet announcements: Cessna’s M2 with the Garmin G3000 cockpit and Cessna’s Latitude with the Garmin G5000 cockpit.  These are scheduled to begin production in 2013 and 2015, respectively.”

Financial overview from Kevin Rauckman, Chief Financial Officer:

 “Our strategic focus on a diversified business model is serving us well”, said Kevin Rauckman, Chief Financial Officer of Garmin Ltd.  “Gross margin for the overall business in the third quarter improved both sequentially and year-over-year to 52%, contributed by an improved product mix and lower than anticipated deferral of revenues associated with our bundled products in the automotive/mobile segment.

Operating margin was 22% in the quarter, a sequential improvement from 20% in the second quarter.  On a year-over-year basis, total operating expenses increased by $20 million.  Advertising expense decreased by $6 million as cooperative advertising and media spending were reduced in the automotive/mobile segment.  Research and development increased by $3 million due to our recent acquisitions.  Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $22 million driven primarily by the acquisitions.

We generated $174 million of free cash flow in the third quarter of 2011.  We had a cash and marketable securities balance of over $2.4 billion at the end of the quarter after payment of approximately $155 million for the June 30 dividend installment.”

2011 Full-Year Guidance
         
   
2011
   
Revenue
    $2.6 B    
Gross Margin
   
47% ‐ 48%
 
 
Operating Margin
   
18% ‐ 19%
 
 
EPS (Pro Forma)
    $2.30 ‐ $2.40  
 
 
We now expect revenue of approximately $2.6 billion.  Our EPS range has also increased due to the improved margin outlook for the full year.  These factors and an anticipated effective tax rate of approximately 12% result in a forecasted 2011 pro forma EPS of $2.30 - $2.40.

Non-GAAP Measures

Pro Forma net income (earnings) per share

Management believes that net income per share before the impact of foreign currency translation gain or loss and other one-time items is an important measure.  The majority of the Company’s consolidated foreign currency gain or loss results from transactions involving the Euro, the British Pound Sterling and the Taiwan Dollar and from the exchange rate impact of the significant cash and marketable securities, receivables and payables held in U.S. dollars at the end of each reporting period by the Company’s various non U.S. subsidiaries.  Such gain or loss is required under GAAP because the functional currency of the subsidiaries differs from the currency in which various assets and liabilities are held.  However, there is minimal cash impact from such foreign currency gain or loss.  Accordingly, earnings per share before the impact of foreign currency translation gain or loss allow an assessment of the Company’s operating performance before the non-cash impact of the position of the U.S. Dollar versus other currencies, which permits a consistent comparison of results between periods.

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.
