Segment Performance

Revenue from Fitness increased by 42% Y/Y to $765.84 million, driven by strong demand for advanced wearables.

Outdoor revenue remained firm Y/Y at $627.61 million, primarily due to comparison against strong prior year product launch cycles.

Aviation revenue rose 16% Y/Y at $274.24 million, driven by the OEM and aftermarket product categories.

Marine revenue increased by 18% Y/Y to $296.91 million, with growth across multiple categories led by chartplotters.

Auto OEM revenue decreased 3% Y/Y to $160.36 million, as certain legacy programs approach end-of-life and were partially offset by growth in its most recent BMW domain controller program.
