SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) today announced fourth quarter and fiscal 2011 results.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Results

For the fourth quarter of 2011, Trimble had revenue of $435.2 million, up approximately 35 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.

GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $28.7 million, up 49 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. GAAP operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2011 was 6.6 percent as compared to 6.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $0.23 as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.29 in the fourth quarter of 2010. When looking at year-over-year GAAP net income and earnings per share it should be noted that in the fourth quarter of 2010 there was a tax benefit of 61 percent versus a tax rate of 8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. The fourth quarter 2010 tax benefit was primarily due to a non-recurring income tax benefit for a valuation allowance release of $7.6 million and a catch up on research and development tax credits due to legislation passed in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Fourth quarter 2011 non-GAAP operating income of $68.8 million was up 48 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP operating margin was 15.8 percent as compared to 14.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010.

"Our performance in the fourth quarter capped a strong year which exceeded our original expectations," said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble's president and chief executive officer. "We carry this momentum with us into 2012 which, subject to worldwide economic conditions, is expected to be another strong year."

Segment operating income is revenue less cost of goods sold and operating expenses, excluding general corporate expenses, restructuring expenses, amortization of intangibles, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up charges and acquisition costs. Non-GAAP segment operating income also excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense.

Engineering and Construction (E&C)

Fourth quarter 2011 E&C revenue was $238.7 million, up 30 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. This growth was driven by strong sales of heavy and highway solutions, double-digit growth in survey product sales and the Tekla acquisition.

Fourth quarter operating income in E&C was $36.6 million, or 15.3 percent of revenue as compared to $21.6 million, or 11.8 percent of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP operating income was $39.4 million, or 16.5 percent of revenue, as compared to $24.0 million, or 13.1 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2010. The improvement in operating income was due to operating leverage as a result of increased revenue.

Fiscal 2011 E&C revenue was $906.5 million, up 26 percent as compared to fiscal 2010, driven primarily by strong sales across product lines and, to a lesser extent, the Tekla acquisition.

Non-GAAP operating income was $159.2 million, or 17.6 percent of revenue, as compared to $118.9 million, or 16.5 percent of revenue in fiscal 2010. Non-GAAP operating margin was higher due to operating leverage from increased revenue.

Field Solutions

Fourth quarter 2011 Field Solutions revenue was $95.5 million, up 28 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 due to strong sales of agriculture and geographic information system (GIS) products and the acquisition of Tekla.

Fourth quarter 2011 Field Solutions operating income was $34.1 million, or 35.7 percent of revenue, as compared to $27.1 million, or 36.1 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP operating income was $34.7 million, or 36.3 percent of revenue, as compared to $27.6 million, or 36.9 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Without the impact of the Tekla acquisition, Field Solutions operating margins were up for the quarter.

Fiscal 2011 Field Solutions revenue was $413.7 million, up 30 percent as compared to fiscal 2010 due primarily to strong sales across the product lines and, to a lesser extent, the Tekla acquisition.

Non-GAAP operating income was $162.4 million, or 39.3 percent of revenue, as compared to $118.4 million, or 37.2 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2010. Non-GAAP operating margins were up due to operating leverage on increased revenue.

Mobile Solutions

Fourth quarter 2011 Mobile Solutions revenue was $75.8 million, up 88 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 primarily due to the PeopleNet acquisition. The base business also displayed double-digit organic growth.

Fourth quarter 2011 Mobile Solutions operating income was $6.0 million, or 7.9 percent of revenue, as compared to an operating loss of $267 thousand, or negative 0.7 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP operating income was $6.4 million, or 8.5 percent of revenue, as compared to operating income of $931 thousand, or 2.3 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2010. The improvement in non-GAAP operating margin was due to the PeopleNet acquisition and increased profitability from the base business.

Fiscal 2011 Mobile Solutions revenue was $218.5 million, up 42 percent as compared to fiscal 2010 due primarily to the PeopleNet acquisition and growth within the base business, partially offset by the loss of a large customer in the second quarter of 2010.

Fiscal 2011 Mobile Solutions operating income was $4.5 million, or 2.0 percent of revenue, as compared to $1.9 million, or 1.2 percent of revenue in fiscal 2010.

Non-GAAP operating margins were down versus the prior year due primarily to product mix.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To help our investors understand our past financial performance and our future results, as well as our performance relative to competitors, we supplement the financial results that we provide in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures can be used to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance, as well as our performance relative to competitors. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, and to make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Further, we believe some of our investors track our "core operating performance" as a means of evaluating our performance in the ordinary, ongoing, and customary course of our operations. Core operating performance excludes items that are non-cash, not expected to recur or not reflective of ongoing financial results. Management also believes that looking at our core operating performance provides a supplemental way to provide consistency in period to period comparisons.

The specific non-GAAP measures which we use along with a reconciliation to the nearest comparable GAAP measures and the explanation for why these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations and why management chose to exclude selected items can be found at the end of this release. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. Our non-GAAP results are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this earnings release. Additional financial information about our use of non-GAAP results can be found on the investor relations page of our Web site at http://investor.trimble.com.

Forward Looking Guidance

For the first quarter of 2012 Trimble expects revenue between $477 million and $482 million with GAAP earnings per share of $0.32 to $0.34 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.61 to $0.63. Non-GAAP guidance excludes the amortization of intangibles and acquisition expense of $35.5 million related to previous acquisitions and the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation expense of $7.6 million. Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share assume a 15 to 17 percent tax rate, 128.0 million shares outstanding and interest costs of $3.0 million.

                               FOOTNOTES TO GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

                                                (Unaudited)

    Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
     for comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the
     previous table as well as detailed explanations to the adjustments to comparable
     GAAP measures, are set forth below:

    Non-GAAP gross margin

    We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP gross margin as a way
     of understanding how product mix, pricing decisions and manufacturing costs
     influence our business.  Non-GAAP gross margin excludes restructuring costs,
     amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation and amortization of
     acquisition-related inventory step-up from GAAP gross margin. We believe that
     these exclusions offer investors additional information that may be useful to view
     trends in our gross margin performance.

    Non-GAAP operating expenses

    We believe this measure is important to investors evaluating our non-GAAP spending
     in relation to revenue. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude restructuring costs,
     amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation and acquisition
     costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger
     and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration costs from
     GAAP operating expenses. We believe that these exclusions offer investors
     supplemental information to facilitate comparison of our operating expenses to our
     prior results.


    Non-GAAP operating income

    We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP operating income
     trends which are driven by revenue, gross margin, and spending. Non-GAAP operating
     income excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-
     based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up and
     acquisition costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly
     from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration
     costs. We believe that these exclusions offer an alternative means for our investors
     to evaluate current operating performance compared to results of other periods.

    Non-GAAP non-operating income, net

    We believe this measure helps investors evaluate our non-operating income trends.
     Non-GAAP non-operating income, net excludes acquisition costs associated with
     unusual acquisition related items such as a gain on bargain purchase (resulting from
     the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the consideration
     transferred), adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities and payments
     made or received to settle earn-out and holdback disputes. These costs are specific
     to particular acquisitions and vary significantly in amount and timing. Non-GAAP
     non-operating income (expense), net also excludes the write-off of debt issuance
     costs associated with a terminated credit facility as well as foreign exchange
     (gains)/losses specifically associated with hedges for our acquisitions. We believe
     that these exclusions provide investors with a supplemental view of our ongoing
     financial results.

    Non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit)

    Investors benefit from the exclusion of an IRS settlement and valuation allowance
     release because it facilitates comparisons to our past income tax provision. Non-
     GAAP income tax provision (benefit) excludes an IRS settlement and a valuation
     allowance release from GAAP income tax provision (benefit) and includes non-GAAP
     items tax effected. Non-GAAP items tax effected adjusts the provision for income
     taxes to reflect the effect of certain non-GAAP items on non-GAAP net income. We
     believe this information is useful to investors because it provides for consistent
     treatment of the excluded items in our non-GAAP presentation.

    Non-GAAP net income

    This measure provides a supplemental view of net income trends which are driven by
     non-GAAP income before taxes and our non-GAAP tax rate. Non-GAAP net income
     excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based
     compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition
     costs, the write-off of debt issuance costs, foreign exchange (gains)/losses from
     hedges associated with acquisitions, and non-GAAP tax adjustments from GAAP net
     income. We believe our investors benefit from understanding these exclusions and
     from an alternative view of our net income performance as compared to our past net
     income performance.

    Non-GAAP diluted net income per share

    We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP operating performance
     as reflected in a per share calculation as a way of measuring non-GAAP operating
     performance by ownership in the company. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share
     excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based
     compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition
     costs, the write-off of debt issuance costs, foreign exchange (gains)/losses from
     hedges associated with acquisitions, and non-GAAP tax adjustments from GAAP diluted
     net income per share. We believe that these exclusions offer investors a useful view
     of our diluted net income per share as compared to our past diluted net income per
     share.

    Non-GAAP operating leverage

    We believe this information is beneficial to investors as a measure of how much
     incremental revenue is contributed to our operating income. Non-GAAP operating
     leverage is the increase in non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of the
     increase in revenue. We believe that this information offers investors supplemental
     information to evaluate our current performance and to compare to our past non-GAAP
     operating leverage.

    Non-GAAP segment operating income

    Non-GAAP segment operating income excludes stock-based compensation from GAAP
     segment operating income (loss). We believe this information is useful to investors
     because some may exclude stock-based compensation as an alternative view when
     assessing trends in the operating income of our segments.

    These non-GAAP measures can be used to evaluate our historical and prospective
     financial performance, as well as our performance relative to competitors. We
     believe some of our investors track our "core operating performance" as a means of
     evaluating our performance in the ordinary, ongoing, and customary course of our
     operations. Core operating performance excludes items that are non-cash, not
     expected to recur or not reflective of ongoing financial results.  Management also
     believes that looking at our core operating performance provides a supplemental way
     to provide consistency in period to period comparison.  Accordingly, management
     excludes from non-GAAP those items relating to restructuring, amortization of
     purchased intangibles, stock based compensation, amortization of acquisition-
     related inventory step-up, acquisition costs, the write-off of debt issuance costs
     associated with a terminated credit facility, foreign exchange gains/losses from
     hedges associated with acquisitions, and non-GAAP tax adjustments.  For detailed
     explanations of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, see items (A) -
     (L) below,




                                             Restructuring costs. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and
                                             operating expenses, restructuring costs recorded are primarily for employee
                                             compensation resulting from reductions in employee headcount in connection with
                                             our company restructurings.  We exclude restructuring costs from our non-GAAP
                                             measures because we believe they do not reflect expected future operating
    ( A                                      expenses, they are not indicative of our core operating performance, and they
     )                                       are not meaningful in comparisons to our past operating performance.

                                             Amortization of purchased intangibles. Included in our GAAP presentation of
                                             gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, and net income is
                                             amortization of purchased intangibles. US GAAP accounting requires that
                                             intangible assets are recorded at fair value and amortized over their useful
                                             lives. Consequently, the timing and size of our acquisitions will cause our
                                             operating results to vary from period to period making a comparison to past
                                             performance difficult for investors. This accounting treatment may cause
                                             differences when comparing our results to companies that grow internally
                                             because the fair value assigned to the intangible assets acquired through
                                             acquisition may significantly exceed the equivalent expenses that a company may
                                             incur for similar efforts when performed internally. Furthermore, the useful
                                             life that we expense our intangible assets over may be substantially different
                                             from the time period that an internal growth company incurs and recognizes such
                                             expenses. We believe that by excluding purchased intangibles which represents
                                             technology and/or customer relationships already developed, it enhances
                                             comparability by allowing investors to compare our operations pre-acquisition
    ( B                                      to those post-acquisitions and to those of our competitors that have pursued
     )                                       internal growth strategies.

                                             Stock-based compensation. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales
                                             and operating expenses, stock-based compensation consists of expenses for
                                             employee stock options and awards and purchase rights under our employee stock
                                             purchase plan. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP
                                             measures because some investors may view it as not reflective of our core
                                             operating performance as it is a non-cash expense.   For the three months and
    ( C                                      twelve months ended December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, stock-based
     )                                       compensation was allocated as follows:

                                             Amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up.  The purchase
                                             accounting entries associated with our business acquisitions require us to
                                             record inventory at its fair value, which is sometimes greater than the
                                             previous book value of the inventory.  Included in our GAAP presentation of
                                             cost of sales, the increase in inventory value is amortized to cost of sales
                                             over the period that the related product is sold.  We exclude inventory step-
                                             up amortization from our non-GAAP measures because it is non-cash expense
                                             that we do not believe is indicative of our ongoing operating results.  We
    ( D                                      further believe that excluding this item from our non-GAAP results is useful
     )                                       to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.

                                             Acquisition costs.  Included in our GAAP presentation of operating expenses,
                                             acquisition costs consist of external and incremental costs resulting directly
                                             from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and
                                             integration costs.  Included in our GAAP presentation of non-operating income,
                                             net, acquisition costs include unusual acquisition related items such as a gain
                                             on bargain purchase (resulting from the fair value of identifiable net assets
                                             acquired exceeding the consideration transferred), adjustments to the fair
                                             value of earn-out liabilities and payments made or received to settle earn-
                                             out and holdback disputes. Although we do numerous acquisitions, the costs that
                                             have been excluded from the non-GAAP measures are costs specific to particular
    ( E                                      acquisitions. These are one-time costs that vary significantly in amount and
     )                                       timing and are not indicative of our core operating performance.

                                             Debt issuance cost write-off.   Included in our non-operating income, net this
                                             amount represents a write-off of debt issuance cost for a terminated credit
                                             facility.  We excluded the debt issuance cost write-off from our non-GAAP
                                             measures. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our
    ( F                                      non-operating income to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our non-
     )                                       operating income trends.

                                             Foreign exchange (gain) loss associated with acquisition.    This amount
                                             represents gain and loss on foreign exchange hedges associated with two of our
                                             larger acquisitions.  We excluded the foreign exchange gain/loss from our non-
                                             GAAP measures because we believe that the exclusion of this item provides
                                             investors an enhanced view of the cost structure of our operations and
    ( G)                                     facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods.

                                             Non-GAAP items tax effected.   This amount adjusts the provision for income
                                             taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items (A) - (G) on non-GAAP net
                                             income.   We believe this information is useful to investors because it
    ( H                                      provides for consistent treatment of the excluded items in this non-GAAP
     )                                       presentation.

                                             IRS settlement.   This amount represents a net charge of $27.5 million in the
                                             second quarter of 2010 resulting from the IRS audit settlement.  We excluded
                                             this because it is not indicative of our future operating results.  We believe
    ( I                                      that investors benefit from excluding this charge from our operating results to
     )                                       facilitate comparisons to past operating performance.

                                             Valuation allowance release.  This amount represents a benefit of $7.6 million
                                             in the fourth quarter of 2010 resulting from a valuation allowance release. We
    ( J                                      excluded this from our non-GAAP results to enhance comparability of results
     )                                       across periods.


                                             GAAP and non-GAAP tax rate %.  These percentages are defined as GAAP income tax
                                             provision as a percentage of GAAP income before taxes and non-GAAP income tax
                                             provision as a percentage of non-GAAP income before taxes.   We believe that
    ( K                                      investors benefit from a presentation of non-GAAP tax rate percentage as a way
     )                                       of facilitating a comparison to non-GAAP tax rates in prior periods.

                                             Stock-based compensation. The amounts consist of expenses for employee stock
                                             options and awards and purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan.
                                             As referred to above we exclude stock-based compensation here because
                                             investors may view it as not reflective of our core operating performance as it
                                             is a non-cash expense. However, management does include stock-based
                                             compensation for budgeting and incentive plans as well as for reviewing
                                             internal financial reporting. We discuss our operating results by segment with
                                             and without stock-based compensation expense, as we believe it is useful to
                                             investors.   Stock-based compensation not allocated to the reportable segments
                                             was approximately $2.9 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended
                                             December 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively and $10.5 million and
    ( L                                      $7.9 million for the twelve months ended December 30, 2011 and December 31,
     )                                       2010, respectively.
