Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Accounting Policies | 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 39-week periods ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2023 and September 24, 2022 both contain operating results for 13 weeks. Garmin completed the acquisition of JL Audio during the 13-week period ending September 30, 2023. Accordingly, the balance sheet and operating results of JL Audio for the period following the acquisition have been included in Garmin's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 30, 2023. This acquisition was not material. 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 39-week periods ended September 24, 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 39-week period ended September 30, 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.
