(PRNewswire) — Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) today announced fourth quarter and fiscal 2010 financial results.  

Fourth Quarter 2010 Results

Fourth quarter 2010 revenue of $323.3 million was up 17 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.  

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $19.3 million, up 52 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.  Operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2010 was 6.0 percent, as compared to an operating margin of 4.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.  

Fourth quarter 2010 non-GAAP operating income of $46.4 million was up 37 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 and non-GAAP operating margin was 14.3 percent compared to 12.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.  

Fourth quarter 2010 net income was $36.6 million, up 283 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.  Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $0.29 as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.08 in the fourth quarter of 2009.  

Non-GAAP net income of $57.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 was up 126 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.  Diluted non-GAAP earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2010 were $0.46 as compared to diluted non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.21 in the fourth quarter of 2009.  It should be noted that in the fourth quarter of 2010 there was a non-GAAP tax benefit of 14 percent versus a tax rate of 27 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The benefit was primarily driven by the geographical mix of profits and a catch up on research and development tax credits due to legislation passed in the fourth quarter of 2010.  

Fourth quarter 2010 non-GAAP results exclude:


Fiscal 2010 Results

Revenue for fiscal 2010 was $1.3 billion, up 15 percent as compared to fiscal 2009.

Operating income for fiscal 2010 was $127.6 million, up 49 percent as compared to fiscal 2009.  Operating margin in fiscal 2010 was 9.9 percent, as compared to an operating margin of 7.6 percent in fiscal 2009.

Fiscal 2010 non-GAAP operating income of $217.7 million was up 27 percent as compared to fiscal 2009 and non-GAAP operating margin was 16.8 percent as compared to 15.3 percent in fiscal 2009.

Fiscal 2010 non-GAAP results exclude:


“We enter 2011 with confidence that we can demonstrate meaningful growth for the year,” said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble’s president and chief executive officer.  “Both the Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions segments are well positioned to generate growth.  In addition, we anticipate the Mobile Solutions segment, which did not meet our expectations in 2010, will also demonstrate growth and improving profitability during 2011.”

Trimble Results by Business Segment

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 non-recurring acquisition costs.  Non-GAAP segment operating income also excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense.

Engineering and Construction (E&C)

Fourth quarter 2010 E&C revenue was $183.4 million, up 19 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, with growth driven by sales of products related to heavy and highway construction. 

Operating income in E&C for the fourth quarter 2010 was $21.6 million, or 11.8 percent of revenue, as compared to $15.5 million, or 10.0 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income was $24.0 million, or 13.1 percent of revenue, as compared to $17.5 million, or 11.3 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The improvement in non-GAAP operating margin was due to operating leverage from increased revenue, partially offset by increased sales and marketing expenses primarily attributable to the Trimble Dimensions User Conference.

Fiscal 2010 E&C revenue was $719.1 million, up 24 percent as compared to fiscal 2009, with growth being across the product lines.  

Operating income in E&C for fiscal 2010 was $111.0 million, or 15.4 percent of revenue, as compared to $58.3 million, or 10.1 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income was $118.9 million, or 16.5 percent of revenue, as compared to $64.6 million, or 11.2 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2009.  The improvement in non-GAAP operating margin was due to operating leverage from increased revenue.

Field Solutions

Fourth quarter 2010 Field Solutions revenue was $74.8 million, up 31 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 primarily due to strong sales of agricultural products.

Fourth quarter 2010 Field Solutions operating income was $27.1 million, or 36.1 percent of revenue, as compared to $15.9 million, or 27.8 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income was $27.6 million, or 36.9 percent of revenue, as compared to $16.2 million, or 28.3 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009. 

Fiscal 2010 Field Solutions revenue was $318.1 million, up 9 percent as compared to fiscal 2009.  Both agriculture and geographical information system (GIS) product sales grew. 

Operating income in Field Solutions in fiscal 2010 was $116.4 million, or 36.6 percent of revenue, as compared to $104.5 million, or 35.8 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income was $118.4 million, or 37.2 percent of revenue, as compared to $105.6 million, or 36.2 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2009.  The increase in operating margin was due to operating leverage from increased revenue.

Mobile Solutions

Fourth quarter 2010 Mobile Solutions revenue was $40.4 million, up 6 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 due primarily to acquisitions. 

The operating loss in Mobile Solutions in the fourth quarter 2010 was $267 thousand, or negative 0.7 percent of revenue, as compared to operating income of $4.2 million, or 11.0 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income was $931 thousand, or 2.3 percent of revenue, as compared to $5.2 million or 13.7 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The decline in non-GAAP margins was due to the mix of hardware and subscription services revenue and the loss of a large high-margin customer in the second quarter of 2010.

Fiscal 2010 Mobile Solutions revenue was $154.3 million, relatively flat as compared to fiscal 2009 due primarily to the loss of a large customer in the second quarter of 2010, offset by revenue from acquisitions and the addition of new subscribers. 

Fiscal 2010 operating income in Mobile Solutions was $1.9 million, or 1.2 percent of revenue, as compared to operating income of $14.3 million, or 9.3 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income was $5.3 million, or 3.4 percent of revenue, as compared to $18.6 million or 12.0 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2009.  The decline in non-GAAP margins was due to the loss of a large, high-margin customer in the second quarter of 2010 and the mix of hardware and subscription services revenue.

Advanced Devices

Fourth quarter 2010 Advanced Devices revenue was $24.7 million, down 12 percent as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009 due to slower sales of embedded products. 

The operating income in Advanced Devices for the fourth quarter 2010 was $3.4 million, or 14.0 percent of revenue, as compared to $3.6 million, or 12.8 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income in Advanced Devices was $4.0 million, or 16.3 percent of revenue, as compared to $4.1 million, or 14.7 percent of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The improvements in operating income were primarily due to product mix.  

Fiscal 2010 Advanced Devices revenue was $102.5 million, up 1 percent as compared to fiscal 2009. 

The operating income in Advanced Devices in fiscal 2010 was $18.3 million, or 17.9 percent of revenue, as compared to $17.2 million, or 17.0 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2009.  Non-GAAP operating income in Advanced Devices was $20.3 million, or 19.8 percent of revenue, as compared to $18.8 million, or 18.6 percent of revenue, in fiscal 2009.  The decline in operating income was due to product mix.

Trimble repurchased $73.8 million in stock at an average price of $28.67 during fiscal 2010.  

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To help our readers understand our past financial performance and our future results, we supplement the financial results that we provide in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. The specific non-GAAP measures which we use along with a reconciliation to the nearest comparable GAAP measures and the explanation for why management chose to exclude selected items and the additional purposes for which these non-GAAP measures are used 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. 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. Management generally compensates for the limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures. 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 2011 Trimble expects revenue between $370 million and $375 million with GAAP earnings per share of $0.32 to $0.34 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.47 to $0.49. Non-GAAP guidance for the first quarter of 2011 excludes the amortization of intangibles of $13.8 million related to previous acquisitions, the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation expense of $6.7 million. Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share assume a 15 to 17 percent tax rate and 124.5 million shares outstanding. 

For fiscal 2011, Trimble expects revenue growth of approximately 20 percent, with non-GAAP operating leverage of approximately 25 percent and a full-year tax rate of 15 to 17 percent.

FOOTNOTES TO GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION


(Unaudited)













The non-GAAP financial measures included in the previous table are non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP non-operating income, net, non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit), non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share and operating leverage, and non-GAAP segment operating income before corporate allocations.    These non-GAAP measures can be used to evaluate the Company's historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors.  The Company believes some of its investors track the Company's "core operating performance" as a means of evaluating the Company's performance in the ordinary, ongoing, and customary course of its operations.  Management also believes that looking at its core operating performance provides a supplemental way to provide consistency in period to period comparisons.  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,  non-recurring acquisition costs, and non-recurring tax charges/benefits of which $27.6 million is associated with the IRS settlement and $7.6 million is associated with a valuation allowance release benefit.  The Company does not believe that these these items are indicative of its core operating performance.













( A )

Restructuring. 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 from our non-GAAP measures because we believe it is not indicative of our core operating performance.













( B )

Amortization of purchased intangibles.  Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and operating expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles recorded arise from prior acquisitions and are non-cash in nature.  We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP measures because we believe they are not indicative of our core operating performance.













( C )

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 twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, 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.  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 we do not believe it is indicative of our core operating performance.













( E )

Non-recurring acquisition costs.  Included in our GAAP presentation of operating expenses and non-operating income, net, non-recurring acquisition costs consist of external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration costs.  Also included are 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 earnout liabilities and payments made or received to settle earnout and holdback disputes.  We exclude these items because they are non-recurring and unique to specific acquisitions and are not indicative of our core operating performance.













( F )

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.













( G )

IRS settlement.   This amount represents a one time charge of $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 resulting from the IRS audit settlement.  We excluded this because it is non-recurring and is not indicative of our core operating performance.













( H )

Valuation allowance release.   This amount represents a one time benefit of $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 resulting from a valuation allowance release.  We excluded this because it is non-recurring and is not indicative of our core operating performance.













( I )

Non-GAAP items tax effected.   This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items (A) - (E) on non-GAAP net income.













( J )

Non-GAAP tax rate impact on noncontrolling interests. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes included in noncontrolling interest to reflect the non-GAAP tax rate.  













( K )

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.  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 $2.2 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, respectively and $7.9 million and $5.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, respectively.
