Trimble Reports Third Quarter 2013 Revenue of $556.5 Million, GAAP EPS of $0.21 and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.39

(PRNewswire) —  Trimble (NASDAQ:  TRMB) today announced third quarter 2013 revenue of $556.5 million, up 10 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2012.

GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2013 was $63.0 million, or 11.3 percent of revenue, as compared to 12.6 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2012. 

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $54.5 million, up 2 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2012.  Diluted GAAP earnings per share in the third quarter of 2013 were $0.21, flat with the third quarter of 2012.  The tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 was 14 percent as compared to 19 percent in the third quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2013 was $118.2 million, or 21.2 percent of revenue, compared to $105.3 million, or 20.9 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2012.  

Non-GAAP net income of $101.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 was up 17 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2012.  Diluted non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.39 in the third quarter of 2013, as compared to diluted non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.34 in the third quarter of 2012. 

Third quarter 2013 non-GAAP results included the following adjustments as compared to the third quarter of 2012:

"While below our projected long-term growth rate, our third quarter revenue was consistent with our guidance for the quarter.  Although the worldwide economic environment is expected to remain challenging into 2014 and a constraint to robust growth, we did see encouraging signs in the quarter, particularly in survey instruments, building construction and agriculture," said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble's president and chief executive officer.  "These indicators support our view that our organic growth will step up in 2014 from the levels we have seen in 2013."

Results by Segment

Segment operating income is revenue less cost of sales 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)

Third quarter 2013 E&C revenue was $310.6 million, up 8 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2012 due to organic sales growth in survey, heavy civil, buildings, and positioning services and from the effect of acquisitions.

Operating income in E&C for the third quarter of 2013 was $73.5 million, or 23.7 percent of revenue, as compared to 23.8 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2012.  Non-GAAP operating income was $76.4 million, or 24.6 percent of revenue, as compared to 24.8 percent of revenue in the third quarter of 2012.

Field Solutions

Third quarter 2013 Field Solutions revenue was $99.5 million, down 3 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2012, due to softer sales of Geographical Information System (GIS) solutions, partially offset by growth in agricultural solutions sales.

Third quarter 2013 Field Solutions operating income was $31.4 million, or 31.5 percent of revenue, as compared to $36.0 million, or 35.0 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2012.  Non-GAAP operating income was $32.1 million, or 32.3 percent of revenue, as compared to $36.6 million, or 35.6 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2012.  The decrease in non-GAAP operating margin was due primarily to lower revenue from government GIS sales.  Non-GAAP operating margins in agriculture were consistent with the prior year.

Mobile Solutions  

Third quarter 2013 Mobile Solutions revenue was $113.6 million, up 35 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2012 due primarily to higher revenue from transportation and logistics sales, both from the organic business and acquisitions.

Third quarter 2013 Mobile Solutions operating income was $15.3 million or 13.5 percent of revenue, as compared to $8.2 million, or 9.8 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2012.  Third quarter 2013 non-GAAP operating income was $16.2 million, or 14.3 percent of revenue, as compared to $8.9 million, or 10.6 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2012.  The increase in non-GAAP operating margins was primarily due to higher revenue from software, subscription and services.

Advanced Devices

Third quarter 2013 Advanced Devices revenue was $32.9 million, up 7 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to stronger sales of RFID solutions.

Operating income in Advanced Devices for the third quarter of 2013 was $8.4 million, or 25.6 percent of revenue, as compared to $5.7 million, or 18.5 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP operating income in Advanced Devices was $9.3 million, or 28.4 percent of revenue, as compared to $6.2 million, or 20.3 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2012. The improvement in non-GAAP operating margin was due 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 fourth quarter of 2013 Trimble expects revenue between $560 million and $580 million with GAAP earnings per share of $0.17 to $0.21 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.35 to $0.39.  Non-GAAP guidance excludes the amortization of intangibles of $42.0 million related to previous acquisitions; anticipated acquisition costs of $3.5 million and the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation expense of $10.5 million. Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share assume a 16 to 18 percent tax rate and 261.5 million shares outstanding.

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 intangible assets, 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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, litigation, and acquisition/divestiture costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence, integration costs, and acquisition bonus payments 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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, litigation, and acquisition/divestiture costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence, integration costs, and acquisition bonus payments. 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 and divestiture (gains)/losses associated with unusual acquisition related items such as adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities and gains or losses related to the acquisition or sale of certain businesses and investments. These (gains)/losses are specific to particular acquisitions and divestitures and vary significantly in amount and timing. Non-GAAP non-operating income, net also excludes a foreign exchange loss specifically associated with a hedge for one of our acquisitions. We believe that these exclusions provide investors with a supplemental view of our ongoing financial results.

Non-GAAP income tax provision

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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a foreign exchange loss from a hedge associated with one of our acquisitions, litigation, 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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a foreign exchange loss from a hedge associated with one of our acquisitions, litigation 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. 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 comparisons.  Accordingly, management excludes from non-GAAP those items relating to restructuring, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a foreign exchange loss from a hedge associated with one of our acquisitions, litigation, and non-GAAP tax adjustments.  For detailed explanations of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, see items (A) - ( J ) below,













( A )

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 expenses, they are not indicative of our core operating performance, and they are not meaningful in comparisons to our past operating performance.  We have incurred  restructuring expense in each of the last three years however the amount incurred can vary significantly based on whether a restructuring has occurred in the period and the timing of headcount reductions. 













( B )

Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Included in our GAAP presentation of gross margin and operating expenses is amortization of purchased intangible assets. 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 the amortization of purchased intangible assets, which primarily represents technology and/or customer relationships already developed, it provides an alternative way for investors to compare our operations pre-acquisition to those post-acquisitions and to those of our competitors that have pursued internal growth strategies. However, we note that companies that grow internally will incur costs to develop intangible assets that will be expensed in the period incurred, which may make a direct comparison more difficult.     













( 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 third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, 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 it is a non-cash expense that we do not believe is indicative of our ongoing operating results.  We further believe that excluding this item from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.













( E )

Acquisition / divestiture items. 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, integration costs and acquisition bonus payments.  Included in our GAAP presentation of non-operating income, net, acquisition / divestiture (gain)/loss includes unusual acquisition or divestiture related items such as adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities and gains on divestitures of certain businesses and investments. Although we do numerous acquisitions, the costs that have been excluded from the non-GAAP measures are costs specific to particular acquisitions. These are one-time costs that vary significantly in amount and timing and are not indicative of our core operating performance.













( F )

Foreign exchange loss associated with acquisitions. This amount represents a loss on a foreign exchange hedge associated with one of our acquisitions.  We excluded the foreign exchange 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 facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods.                     













( G )

Litigation. This amount represents a settlement of litigation related to a pre-acquisition agreement with a contract manufacturer. We have excluded this litigation settlement cost from our non-GAAP measures because it is a non-recurring expense that is not indicative of our ongoing operating results.  We further believe that excluding this item from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.













( H )

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 provides for consistent treatment of the excluded items in this non-GAAP presentation. 













( I )

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 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.













( J )

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 $3.4 million and $3.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $9.8 million and $9.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.
