Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Our results of operations have undergone significant change primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and FAS 123(R). 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 our quarterly earnings release and which can be found, along with other financial information, on the investor relations page of our Web site at www.investor.trimble.com.

Forward Looking Guidance

In the first quarter of 2008, Trimble expects revenue to grow 17 to 19 percent compared to the first quarter of 2007, with revenue between $334 million and $339 million.

Non-GAAP guidance for the first quarter of 2008 excludes the amortization of intangibles of $10.2 million related to previous acquisitions, and the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation expense of $3.7 million. Both GAAP and non-GAAP guidance use a 38 percent tax rate, compared to an actual 32 percent tax rate in the first quarter of 2007, and assume 127 million shares outstanding.

For the full year of 2008 Trimble expects revenue to grow 14 to 17 percent compared to fiscal 2007, with revenue between $1.39 billion and $1.43 billion. Trimble expects 2008 non-GAAP earnings per share to be between $1.39 and $1.44. This assumes a non-GAAP margin expansion of 100 basis points in 2008, a tax rate of 38 percent and 129 million shares outstanding.

Safe Harbor

Certain statements made in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include the revenue, effective tax rate, stock-based compensation, the impact from in- process research and development expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, gross margin, and earnings per share estimates for the first quarter of 2008 and fiscal 2008. These forward-looking statements are subject to change, and actual results may materially differ from those set forth in this press release due to certain risks and uncertainties. For example, strong demand for the Company's products may not continue because of a decline in the overall health of the economy and international markets, which may result in reduced capital spending. In addition, the Company's results may be adversely affected if the growth rates and profitability expectations for each of its four segments are not achieved, or its joint ventures and recent acquisitions do not achieve anticipated results, or if the Company is unable to market, manufacture and ship new products. Any failure to achieve predicted results could negatively impact the Company's revenues, gross margin and other financial results. Whether the Company achieves its guidance for the first quarter of 2008 and fiscal 2008 will also depend on a number of other factors, including the risks detailed from time to time in reports filed with the SEC, including its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and its annual report on Form 10- K. Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement contained herein. These statements reflect the Company's position as of the date of this release.

    The non-GAAP financial measures included in the table above are non-GAAP
    gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-
    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
    believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is
    useful to investors for the reasons associated with each of the
    adjusting items as described below.

    (A)  Restructuring. The amounts recorded are 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.  Approximately $5,330K and $1,850K of the amortization of
         purchased intangibles was included in cost of sales for the three
         months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, respectively,
         and approximately $4,754K and $2,266K was reported as a separate line
         within operating expenses for the three months ended December 28,
         2007 and December 29, 2006, respectively.  Approximately $19,619K and
         $5,167K of the amortization of purchased intangibles was included in
         cost of sales for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007 and
         December 29, 2006, respectively, and approximately $18,966K and
         $7,906K was reported as a separate line within operating expenses for
         the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006.

     (C) In-process research and development. The amounts recorded as
         in-process research and development 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 not directly related to the
         operation of our business.

     (D) Stock-based Compensation.  The amounts consist of expenses for
         employee stock options and purchase rights under our employee stock
         purchase plan determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R), which became
         effective for us on January 1, 2006.  We exclude these stock-based
         compensation expenses because they are non-cash expenses that we
         believe are not reflective of ongoing operation results.  Further, we
         believe it is useful to investors to understand the impact of the
         application of SFAS 123(R) to our results of operations.  For the
         three months and fiscal year ended December 28, 2007 and December 29,
         2006, stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:

                                     Three Months Ended   Fiscal Year Ended
                                       Dec-28,   Dec-29,     Dec-28,   Dec-29,

        Cost of sales                    $493      $292      $1,733    $1,173
        Research and development          954       628       3,573     2,554
        Sales and Marketing             1,091       700       3,891     2,815
        General and administrative      1,529     1,514       5,819     6,029
                                       $4,067    $3,134     $15,016   $12,571

    (E) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments. This amounts adjusts the

    (F)  Stock-based Compensation. The amounts consist of expenses for
         employee stock options and purchase rights under our employee stock
         purchase plan determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R), which became
         effective for us on January 1, 2006.  We discuss our operating
         results by segment with and with-out stock-based compensation
         expense, as we believe it is useful to investors to understand the
         impact of the application of SFAS 123(R) to our results of operations
         because it facilitates trends in the business prior to the adoption
         of SFAS 123(R).  Stock-based compensation not allocated to the
         reportable segments was approximately $1,088K and $1,277K for the
         three months ended December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006,
         respectively and $4,294K and $5,048K for the fiscal year ended
         December 28, 2007 and December 29, 2006, respectively.
