Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] |  |  |  | ##### Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Performance As required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, in the charts below we show the relationship for the years shown between CAP for the PEO and the non-PEO NEOs and each of the following: (1) total shareholder return (“TSR”) for Garmin and for the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index; (2) net income; and (3) operating income. As stated above, the Compensation Committee uses operating income and revenue to link CAP to performance. The Compensation Committee does not use TSR or net income.
