Note: In accordance with GAAP, the Company is deferring significant revenue and the related costs associated with high margin sales of lifetime maps, connected services and premium traffic over their economic lives. In the fourth quarter, the Company deferred, net of amortization of previous deferrals, $64 million of revenue, $22 million of costs, and approximately $0.19 of diluted EPS, net of taxes, into future years. For the full year, the Company deferred, net of amortization of previous deferrals, $131 million of revenue, $31 million of costs, and approximately $0.42 of diluted EPS, net of taxes, into future years. A table outlining the impact of this net deferral in both 2010 and 2009 is included for reference. Results have not been adjusted unless specifically stated as such.

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

“While 2010 represented a year of adversity for our PND business and our handset initiative, we exit the year with a growing presence in outdoor/fitness, aviation, marine and auto OEM that give us confidence in the long-term outlook for Garmin,” said Dr. Min Kao, chairman and chief executive officer of Garmin Ltd. “Strong revenue and operating income performance in these segments was a highlight for the year and a foundation on which we hope to grow. The business generated free cash flow of $738 million which further strengthened our debt-free balance sheet and afforded us the opportunity to return significant value to shareholders in 2010 through a dividend and share repurchases.

The automotive/mobile segment revenues declined 31% on a year-over-year basis in the fourth quarter as the PND market declined from the 2009 holiday season, ASPs continued to decline, and significant revenues from bundled lifetime map products were deferred into future periods. We expect the PND market to continue to decline in 2011 with moderating ASPs and an increasing impact of revenue deferrals as bundled lifetime maps constitute a higher percentage of our product mix. Despite the challenging headwinds, our strategy is to manage the business to maintain our market leadership and maximize profitability. In addition, we have accelerated our investment in the auto OEM category in response to increasing opportunities in this market segment. Our broad strengths and capabilities, including vertical integration, user interface design, development agility, and high reliability solutions for other OEM applications, differentiate Garmin from the competition.
