Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

July 1, 2023

(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, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 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 31, 2022.

Our operating results are subject to fluctuations associated with seasonal demand for consumer products, the timing of new product introductions, and OEM customer production schedules. Therefore, operating results for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 30, 2023.

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 July 1, 2023 and June 25, 2022 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.

The Company announced an organization realignment in January 2023, which combined the consumer auto operating segment with the outdoor operating segment. As a result, the Company’s operating segments, which also represent our reportable segments, are fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, and auto OEM. Results for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022 have been recast herein to conform to the current period presentation. This change had no effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

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 1, “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 31, 2022. There were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the 26-week period ended July 1, 2023 .

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. Revenue

In order to further depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors, we disaggregate revenue (“net sales”) by geographic region, major product category, and pattern of recognition.

Disaggregated revenue by geographic region (Americas, APAC, and EMEA) is presented in Note 11 – Segment Information and Geographic Data. Note 11 also contains disaggregated revenue information of the five major product categories identified by the Company – fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, 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 outdoor, aviation, and auto OEM segments and relate to performance obligations that are satisfied over the estimated 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 — July 1, 2023	June 25, 2022	26-Weeks Ended — July 1, 2023	June 25, 2022
Point in time	$ 1,251,214	$ 1,179,123	$ 2,332,283	$ 2,293,324
Over time	69,581	61,710	135,936	120,172
Net sales	$ 1,320,795	$ 1,240,833	$ 2,468,219	$ 2,413,496

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 July 1, 2023 are presented below:

	26-Weeks Ended July 1, 2023 — Deferred Revenue (1)	Deferred Costs (2)
Balance, beginning of period	$ 126,794	$	24,693

4. Marketable Securities

ASC Topic 820, 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 July 1, 2023 — Fair Value Level	Amortized Cost	Gross Unrealized Gains	Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Value
Agency securities	Level 2	$ 11,002	$ —	$ ( 765	)	$ 10,237

The primary objectives of the Company’s investment policy are to preserve capital, maintain an acceptable degree of liquidity, and maximize yield within the constraint of low credit risk. 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 totale d $ 11,095 a s of July 1, 2023 , 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 July 1, 2023.

The Company recognizes impairments relating to credit losses of available-for-sale securities through an allowance for credit losses and other income (expense) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Impairment not relating to credit losses is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Approximately 99 % of securities in the Company’s portfolio were at an unrealized loss position as of July 1, 2023.

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 July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

As of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , the Company had no t recognized an allowance for credit losses on any securities in an unrealized loss position.

The Company has no t recorded an allowance for credit losses and charge to other income (expense) for the unrealized losses on agency, mortgage-backed, corporate debt, municipal, and other securities presented above because we do not consider the declines in fair value to have resulted from credit losses. We have 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.

The amortized cost and fair value of marketable securities at July 1, 2023, by maturity, are shown below.

	Amortized Cost	Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$ 259,584	$ 253,689
Due after one year through five years	1,172,343	1,076,583
Due after five years through ten years	17,908	16,363
Due after ten years	8,725	7,313
Total	$ 1,458,560	$ 1,353,948

5. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $ 28,037 in the 13-week period ended July 1, 2023, compared to income tax expense of $ 21,093 in the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022. The effective tax rate was 8.9 % in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 7.6 % in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in uncertain tax position reserves released in the second quarter of 2023, compared to the second quarter of 2022.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $ 47,482 in the 26-week period ended July 1, 2023, compared to income tax expense of $ 45,366 in the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022. The effective tax rate was 8.8 % in both the first half of 2023 and the first half of 2022.

6. Inventories

Finished goods	685,461	733,314
Inventories	$ 1,402,225	$ 1,515,045

7. 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 aviation, marine, and auto 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 — July 1, 2023	June 25, 2022		July 1, 2023		June 25, 2022
Balance - beginning of period	$ 52,675	$	40,698	$	50,952	$	45,467
Accrual for products sold (1)	18,345		14,154		40,726		25,025
Expenditures	( 18,668	)	( 14,903	)	( 39,326	)	( 30,543	)
Balance - end of period	$ 52,352	$	39,949	$	52,352	$	39,949

(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.

8. 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 July 1, 2023 that may represent noncancellable unconditional purchase obligations having a remaining term in excess of one year was approximately $ 376,000 .

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 $ 689 and $ 718 on July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 July 1, 2023. 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 July 1, 2023 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.

9. Stockholders' Equity

Dividends

Under Swiss corporate law, dividends must be approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders. Approved dividends are subject to possible adjustment based on the total amount of the dividend in Swiss Francs as approved at the annual meeting, and payable in four equal installments on dates to be determined by the Board of Directors. A reduction of retained earnings and a corresponding liability are recorded at the time of shareholders' approval and are periodically adjusted based on the number of applicable shares outstanding.

Our shareholders approved the following dividends:

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., exclusive of the cost of any associated excise tax. 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 July 1, 2023, the Company had repurchased 2,936 shares for $ 273,250 , leaving approximately $ 26,750 available to repurchase additional shares under the Program.

Share Capital

In the second quarter of 2023, the share capital currency of the Company was changed from the Swiss Franc (CHF) to the U.S. Dollar (USD), as approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting. This aligns the share capital currency with the financial statement presentation currency of the Company. The Company’s nominal par value per share of CHF 0.10 was slightly reduced to USD $ 0.10 , the impact of which is reflected in share capital, captioned as shares on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total stockholders’ equity reported for the Company was not affected by this change. Our common shares had a par value of USD $ 0.10 and CHF 0.10 per share as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Treasury Stock

In June 2023, our shareholders approved the cancellation of 2,197 shares previously purchased under our share repurchase program. The capital reduction by cancellation of these shares became effective in June 2023. Total stockholders’ equity reported for the Company was not affected.

11. Segment Information and Geographic Data

Garmin is organized in the five operating segments of fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, and auto OEM. These operating segments represent our reportable segments.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the CODM, primarily uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss 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 reasonable manner considering the specific facts and circumstances of the expenses being allocated.

As indicated in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company announced an organization realignment in January 2023, which combined the consumer auto operating segment with the outdoor operating segment. As a result, the Company’s operating segments, which also represent our reportable segments, are fitness, outdoor, aviation, marine, and auto OEM. Results for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 25, 2022 have been recast below to conform with the current period presentation.

Business Environment Update

A number of headwinds including high inflation and rising interest rates have recently affected the economic environment and consumer behaviors. Additionally, while our global supply chain is routinely subject to component shortages, increased lead times, cost fluctuations, and logistics constraints, certain of these factors have at times been further amplified by the recent business environment. The nature and degree of effects of the business environment over time remain 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

Comparison of 13-Weeks Ended July 1, 2023 and June 25, 2022

Net Sales

Net Sales — Fitness	13-Weeks Ended July 1, 2023 — $ 334,863	23	%	13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 — $ 272,095
Percentage of Total Net Sales	25 %			22 %
Outdoor	448,114	(3	%)	462,243
Percentage of Total Net Sales	34 %			37 %
Aviation	217,454	6	%	204,739

Percentage of Total Net Sales	8 %			5 %
Total	$ 1,320,795	6	%	$ 1,240,833

Net sales increased 6% for the 13-week period ended July 1, 2023 when compared to the year-ago quarter. Total unit sales in the second quarter of 2023 increased to 4,162 when compared to total unit sales of 3,743 in the second quarter of 2022, which differs from the percent increase in revenue primarily due to shifts in segment and product mix. Outdoor was the largest portion of our revenue mix at 34% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 37% in the second quarter of 2022.

The increase in fitness revenue was driven by sales growth across all categories, led by strong demand for advanced wearables. Aviation revenue increased due to growth in OEM product categories. Auto OEM revenue increased primarily due to increased shipments of domain controllers. Outdoor revenue declined as growth in adventure watches was more than offset by declines in other categories. The decrease in marine revenue was primarily due to the timing of promotions, which contributed to lower sales of chartplotter products.

Gross profit dollars in the second quarter of 2023 increased 4%, primarily due to the increase in net sales when compared to the year-ago quarter, as described above. Consolidated gross margin decreased 120 basis points when compared to the year-ago quarter primarily due to segment mix.

The fitness gross margin increase of 250 basis points was primarily attributable to favorable freight costs. The aviation gross margin increase of 180 basis points was primarily attributable to lower product costs. The outdoor and marine gross margins were relatively flat when compared to the year-ago quarter. The auto OEM gross margin decrease of 840 basis points was primarily attributable to unfavorable product mix.

Operating Expense

Operating Expense	13-Weeks Ended July 1, 2023		13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022

Total operating expense increased 9% in absolute dollars and was relatively flat as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter.

Advertising expense increased 7% in absolute dollars and was relatively flat as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. The absolute dollar increase was primarily attributable to increased media spend.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased 7% in absolute dollars and was relatively flat as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. The absolute dollar expense increase in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily attributable to increased personnel-related expenses and information technology costs.

Research and development expense increased 11% in absolute dollars and was relatively flat as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. The absolute dollar expense increase was primarily due to higher engineering personnel costs.

Operating Income

Operating Income (Loss) — Fitness	13-Weeks Ended July 1, 2023 — $ 54,458		132	%	13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022 — $ 23,462
Percentage of Segment Net Sales	16	%			9	%
Outdoor	138,255		(15	%)	163,371
Percentage of Segment Net Sales	31	%			35	%
Aviation	62,766		2	%	61,745
Percentage of Segment Net Sales	29	%			30	%
Marine	46,377		(32	%)	68,619
Percentage of Segment Net Sales	21	%			28	%

Percentage of Segment Net Sales	(17	%)			(41	%)
Total	$ 284,355		(3	%)	$ 292,740
Percentage of Total Net Sales	22	%			24	%

Total operating income decreased 3% in absolute dollars and 210 basis points as a percent of revenue when compared to the year-ago quarter. The decrease as a percent of revenue was primarily due to higher operating expenses, partially offset by sales growth, as described above. The decrease in outdoor and marine operating income was partially offset by improved performance in fitness, aviation, and auto OEM. Auto OEM experienced an operating loss in the current quarter driven by ongoing investments in auto OEM programs, and we expect the segment to continue to experience operating losses through 2023.

Other Income (Expense)

Other Income (Expense)	13-Weeks Ended July 1, 2023	13-Weeks Ended June 25, 2022
Interest income	$ 18,760	$ 8,495
Foreign currency gains (losses)	10,797	(22,439	)
Other income	2,064	170
Total	$ 31,621	$ (13,774	)

The average interest return on cash and investments during the second quarter of 2023 was 2.7%, compared to 1.2% during the same quarter of 2022.

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 $10.8 million currency gain recognized in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the U.S. Dollar weakening against the Polish Zloty, British Pound Sterling, and Euro, and strengthening against the Taiwan Dollar, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening against the Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, and Australian Dollar, within the 13-week period ended July 1, 2023. During this period, the U.S. Dollar weakened 4.7% against the Polish Zloty, 3.0% against the British Pound Sterling, 0.7% against the Euro, and strengthened 2.0% against the Taiwan Dollar, resulting in gains of $9.4 million, $1.4 million, $0.9 million, and $7.1 million, respectively, partially offset by the U.S. Dollar strengthening 5.3% against the Chinese Yuan, 8.0% against the Japanese Yen, and 1.4% against the Australian Dollar, resulting in losses of $3.1 million, $2.1 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. The remaining net currency loss of $2.0 million was related to the impacts of other currencies, each of which was individually immaterial.

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.

Income Tax Provision

The Company recorded income tax expense of $28.0 million in the 13-week period ended July 1, 2023, compared to income tax expense of $21.1 million in the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022. The effective tax rate was 8.9% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 7.6% in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in uncertain tax position reserves released in the second quarter of 2023, compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Net Income

As a result of the above, net income for the 13-week period ended July 1, 2023 was $287.9 million compared to $257.9 million for the 13-week period ended June 25, 2022, an increase of $30.0 million.

Income Tax Provision

The Company recorded income tax expense of $47.5 million in the first half of 2023, compared to income tax expense of $45.4 million in the first half of 2022. The effective tax rate was 8.8% in both the first half of 2023 and the first half of 2022.

Net Income

As a result of the above, net income for the 26-week period ended July 1, 2023 was $490.3 million compared to $469.5 million for the 26-week period ended June 25, 2022, an increase of $20.8 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities

As of July 1, 2023, we had approximately $2.8 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Management invests idle or surplus cash in accordance with the investment policy, which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The investment policy’s primary objectives are to preserve capital, maintain an acceptable degree of liquidity, and maximize yield within the constraint of low credit risk. Garmin’s average interest returns on cash and investments during the first halves of 2023 and 2022 were 2.5% and 1.1%, 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 4 for additional information regarding marketable securities.

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $552.9 million for the first half of 2023, compared to $265.5 million for the first half of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a lower use of cash on purchases of inventory compared to the year-ago quarter, partially offset by a decrease in collections of accounts receivable in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $70.1 million for the first half of 2023, compared to $397.2 million for the first half of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to net redemptions of marketable securities in the first half of 2023, compared to the net purchases of marketable securities in the first half of 2022, as well as a decrease in purchases of property and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $337.1 million for the first half of 2023, compared to $257.0 million for the first half of 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher purchases of treasury stock under the share repurchase plan, and higher cash dividend payments in the first half of 2023, as the first half of 2022 included two dividend payments of $0.67 per share, while the first half of 2023 included two dividend payments of $0.73 per share.

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 July 1, 2023, the Company had fixed lease payment obligations of $158.4 million, with $31.7 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 July 1, 2023, the Company had inventory purchase obligations of $702.5 million, with $496.1 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 July 1, 2023, the Company had other purchase obligations of $366.5 million, with $143.5 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.

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 1, “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 31, 2022. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates in the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 1, 2023.

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 31, 2022. There have been no material changes during the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 1, 2023 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 July 1, 2023, 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 July 1, 2023 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 July 1, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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 8 – 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 31, 2022.

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 31, 2022. There have been no material changes during the 26-week period ended July 1, 2023 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.
