Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to publicly announce and provide details regarding Garmin Ltd.'s financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2003, as required by SEC regulations.

The specific financial results and performance data for the quarter are contained within the press release (Exhibit 99.1) attached to this 8-K filing. Investors should carefully review this press release for detailed figures and analysis.

When information is 'furnished' under Item 9 or Item 12 of Form 8-K, it means the company is disclosing the information to the public in compliance with Regulation FD. However, it is not considered 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning the company generally avoids liability for misstatements or omissions in that specific context, and it is not automatically incorporated into the company's other SEC filings.

The filing itself does not explicitly list forward-looking statements or guidance in the 8-K text. However, the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1) is the most likely place where such information, if any, would be disclosed by Garmin for the period. Investors should review the press release thoroughly for any such statements.
