Trimble Reports First Quarter Revenue of $289.0 Million and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share of $0.28

Forward Looking Guidance

For the second quarter of 2009 Trimble continues to see general uncertainty that limits the ability to provide precise guidance. Trimble is guiding second quarter 2009 revenue in the range of $300 million plus or minus five percent. At a point estimate of $300 million in revenue, Trimble expects second quarter 2009 GAAP earnings per share of $0.21 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.32. Non-GAAP guidance for the second quarter of 2009 excludes the amortization of intangibles of $13.3 million related to previous acquisitions and the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation expense of $4.1 million. Both GAAP and non-GAAP guidance use a 27 percent tax rate and assume 121 million shares outstanding.

        GAAP  net  income  and  non-GAAP  diluted  net  income  per  share,  which  adjust
        for  the  following  items:  expenses  related  to  acquisitions,  stock-based
        compensation  expense  and  restructuring  charges.    Management  uses  these
        non-GAAP  measures  to  assess  trends  in  its  business  and  for  budgeting
        purposes,  as  many  of  these  excluded  items  are  non-cash.  In  addition,  we

        useful  to  investors  for  the  reasons  associated  with  each  of  the  adjusting
        items  as  described  below.

        (  A  )  Restructuring.  The  amounts  recorded  are  primarily  for  employee
                    compensation  resulting  from  reductions  in  employee  headcount  in
                    connection  with  our  company  restructurings  and  we  believe  they  are
                    not  directly  related  to  the  operation  of  our  business.

        (  B  )  Amortization  of  purchased  intangibles.    The  amounts  recorded  as
                    amortization  of  purchased  intangibles  arise  from  prior  acquisitions
                    and  are  non-cash  in  nature.    We  exclude  these  expenses  because  we
                    believe  they  are  not  reflective  of  ongoing  operating  results  in  the
                    period  incurred  and  are  not  directly  related  to  the  operation  of  our
                    business.

        (  C  )  Stock-based  compensation.  We  exclude  these  stock-based  compensation
                    expenses  because  they  are  non-cash  expenses  that  we  believe  are  not
                    reflective  of  ongoing  operation  results.    For  the  three  months  ended
                    April  3,  2009  and  March  28,  2008,  stock-based  compensation  was
                    allocated  as  follows:

        (  D  )  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.    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  we  do  not  believe  it
                    is  reflective  of  our  ongoing  operating  results,  and  it  is  not  used
                    by  management  to  assess  the  core  profitability  of  our  business
                    operations.

        (  E  )  Merger  and  acquisition  costs:    These  charges  consist  of  external  and
                    incremental  costs  resulting  directly  from  merger  and  acquisition
                    activities.    Because  these  expenses  are  non-recurring  and  unique  to
                    specific  acquisitions,  we  believe  they  are  not  indicative  of  future
                    operating  results  and  that  investors  benefit  from  an  understanding
                    of  our  operating  results  without  giving  effect  to  them.

        (  F  )  Income  tax  effect  on  non-GAAP  adjustments.  This  amounts  adjusts  the
                    provision  for  income  taxes  to  reflect  the  effect  of  the  non-GAAP
                    adjustments  on  non-GAAP  operating  income.

        (  G  )  Stock-based  Compensation.  The  amounts  consist  of  expenses  for

                    purchase  plan  determined  in  accordance  with  SFAS  123(R),  which
                    became  effective  for  us  on  January  1,  2006.    We  discuss  our

                    compensation  expense,  as  we  believe  it  is  useful  to  investors  to

                    results  of  operations.    Stock-based  compensation  not  allocated  to
                    the  reportable  segments  was  approximately  $1,227K  and  $1,078K  for
