Earnings Call Summary

Q4 2025
Earnings Call Date:Feb 18, 2026|

|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presented multiple strong operational and financial achievements: record consolidated and segment revenues, expanded operating margins, robust free cash flow, a 17% dividend increase, and a $500M share repurchase program. Management provided constructive 2026 guidance (revenue +9%, EPS +9%) while acknowledging manageable headwinds including memory cost pressure, tariffs, elevated inventory, higher capex, and an auto OEM segment loss that is expected to improve but see near-term revenue declines. The positives (broad-based demand, margin expansion, record operating income, cash generation, and shareholder returns) materially outweigh the contained challenges.
Company Guidance
Garmin guided 2026 consolidated revenue of approximately $7.9 billion (≈+9% vs. 2025), with gross margin around 58.5% (down ~20 bps), operating margin about 25.5% and operating income expected to exceed $2.0 billion for the first time; pro forma EPS is forecast at roughly $9.35 (≈+9% vs. 2025 pro forma EPS $8.56) with a pro forma effective tax rate near 16% (≈-140 bps). Management noted the guide already reflects industry memory cost pressure and tariff impacts, and expects higher product costs partially offset by favorable segment mix and supply‑chain/inventory actions (inventory was about $1.8B at year‑end). Cash and marketable securities were ~ $4.1B and accounts receivable ~ $1.3B; they expect free cash flow of ~ $1.4B in 2026 with capital expenditures of ~ $400M (vs. $270M in 2025) to support a new Thailand facility. The company proposed a $4.20 annual dividend ($1.05/quarter, +17%) and the Board approved a $500M share repurchase program through Dec. 2028; qualitatively, Garmin expects fitness to be the largest contributor to 2026 consolidated growth, outdoor growth to accelerate (stronger in H2), aviation to grow in line with historical norms, marine to be consistent with 2025, and Auto OEM revenue to decline while operating losses narrow.
Record Consolidated Revenue and Strong Annual Growth
Full year 2025 consolidated revenue of $7.246B, up 15% year-over-year and a new annual record; Q4 2025 revenue of $2.125B, up 17% year-over-year and Garmin's first quarter above $2.0B.
Expanded Margins and Record Operating Income
Full year operating income of $1.876B, up 18% year-over-year with operating margin of 25.9% (up 60 bps); Q4 operating income of $614M, up 19% with operating margin of 28.9% (up 60 bps).
Earnings Per Share Growth
Pro forma EPS for full year 2025 was $8.56, a 16% increase year-over-year; Q4 pro forma EPS was $2.79, up 16% year-over-year.
Fitness Segment Outperformance
Fitness revenue rose 33% to $2.36B, surpassing $2B for the first time; fitness gross margin improved to 60% (+130 bps) and operating income increased 50% to $726M with operating margin expanding 360 bps to 31%.
Broad-Based Segment Strength
Three segments delivered double-digit quarterly growth in Q4: fitness +42%, marine +18%, and aviation +16%. Full-year segment records achieved across all five segments.
Aviation, Marine, and Outdoor Achievements
Aviation revenue +13% to $987M with operating income up 22% to $257M and 75% gross margin; Marine revenue +10% to $1.18B with operating income $251M; Outdoor revenue exceeded $2B (+5%) with 66% gross margin and operating income $690M.
Strong Cash Position, Free Cash Flow and Capital Actions
Cash & marketable securities approx. $4.1B; full-year free cash flow approx. $1.4B (+$24M YoY); proposed annual dividend $4.20 (+17%) and Board approved $500M share repurchase program.
Positive 2026 Guidance
Company expects 2026 revenue ~ $7.9B (+9%), gross margin ~58.5% (down 20 bps), operating income to exceed $2.0B (first time), and pro forma EPS ~ $9.35 (+9%).
