Trimble Reports Fourth Quarter Revenue Growth of 25 Percent and Fiscal 2006 Revenue Growth of 21 Percent; Announces Two-for-One Stock Split

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan 25, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) today announced results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2006, ended December 29, 2006. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $234.1 million, up 25 percent from revenue of $186.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Fiscal 2006 revenue was $940.2 million, up 21 percent when compared to fiscal 2005 revenue of $774.9 million.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $27.3 million, up 19 percent from the fourth quarter of 2005. Operating income for fiscal 2006 was $135.4 million, up 8 percent from fiscal 2005. For year-over-year comparisons it should be noted that the impact of stock-based compensation expense resulting from the adoption of FAS 123(R) was $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $12.6 million for fiscal 2006. The net impact of transactions with the Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies (CTCT) joint venture, which were included in non-operating results in 2005, reduced operating results by $3.1 million in the quarter and by $18.2 million for the year. In addition, amortization of purchased intangibles and purchased in-process research and development expense increased by $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 and by $7.0 million for fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005, due to acquisitions. Adjusting for the above factors, operating income in the fourth quarter of 2006 was up 51 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 and up 36 percent for fiscal 2006, compared to fiscal 2005.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $24.0 million, up 3 percent when compared to net income of $23.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Net income for fiscal 2006 was $103.7 million, up 22 percent compared to fiscal 2005. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $0.41, flat compared to earnings per share of $0.41 in the fourth quarter of 2005. Earnings per share for fiscal 2006 were $1.79, up approximately 20 percent compared to fiscal 2005. Earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2006 were negatively impacted by approximately $0.04 due to the adoption of FAS 123(R) and by approximately $0.06 due to higher amortization of intangibles and in-process research and development. Earnings per share for fiscal 2006 were negatively impacted by $0.15 due to FAS 123(R) and by $0.18 due to higher amortization of intangibles and purchased in-process research and development expense. It should also be noted that net income in the fourth quarter of 2005 was favorably impacted by the recognition of a deferred gain of $9.3 million related to the CTCT joint venture.

Adjusting for the impact of FAS 123(R) and acquisition-related expenses, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $30.1 million, up 85 percent compared to non-GAAP net income of $16.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Using the same adjustments, non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2006 was $123.0 million, up 51 percent compared to fiscal 2005. Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2006 benefited from a lower tax rate of 25 percent driven by a research and development tax credit and the favorable resolution of an international tax audit.

Non-GAAP earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $0.51, up approximately 77 percent from non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.29 in the fourth quarter of 2005. Non-GAAP earnings per share for fiscal 2006 were $2.12, up approximately 48 percent compared to fiscal 2005. GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2006 were calculated on a diluted basis using approximately 58.6 million shares and 58 million shares, respectively.

"Trimble's growth in 2006 demonstrated successful execution across our segments, particularly in Engineering and Construction and Mobile Solutions. It is encouraging to see our strategic focus on Mobile Solutions beginning to have a significant impact on results," said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble's president and chief executive officer. "Early in 2007 it appears market conditions remain steady. Our 2007 results will be determined by our success with initiatives to further penetrate our markets, integrate acquisitions, and establish new standards of customer satisfaction."

Trimble Results by Business Segment

For year-over-year comparisons it should be noted that 2005 results did not include stock-based compensation expense because FAS 123(R) was not adopted until the first quarter of 2006.

Engineering and Construction

Revenue for Engineering and Construction (E&C) was $160.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, up approximately 24 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Fiscal 2006 revenue for E&C was $637.1 million up approximately 21 percent compared to fiscal 2005.

Operating income margins in E&C were 20 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to 19 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005. Operating income margins for fiscal 2006 were 21 percent, compared to 22 percent in fiscal 2005. Excluding the impact of FAS 123(R) adoption and the CTCT joint venture transactions discussed above, E&C operating income margins were 23 percent for the fourth quarter and 25 percent for fiscal 2006.

E&C continued to grow throughout 2006 due to successful market segmentation, a steady construction spending environment, and the increasing demand for productivity-enhancing technology.

Field Solutions

Field Solutions (TFS) revenue was $30.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, up 21 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. GIS sales in the quarter were particularly strong. TFS revenue for fiscal 2006 was $139.2 million, up 9 percent year-over-year.

TFS operating income margins for the fourth quarter of 2006 were 21 percent, compared to 20 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005. TFS operating income margins for fiscal 2006 were 27 percent, compared to 25 percent in fiscal 2005. Excluding the impact of FAS 123(R) adoption TFS operating income margins were 22 percent for the fourth quarter and 28 percent for fiscal 2006.

Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions (TMS) fourth quarter 2006 revenue was $17.0 million, up 63 percent from the fourth quarter of 2005. TMS revenue for fiscal 2006 was $60.9 million, up 93 percent from fiscal 2005. Growth in TMS for 2006 came from increased growth in subscribers and software seats, as well as from acquisitions.

TMS operating income margins were 5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to 2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005. TMS operating income margins for fiscal 2006 were 4 percent, compared to a loss of 10 percent in 2005. Excluding the impact of FAS 123(R) adoption TMS operating income margins were 6 percent for the fourth quarter and 5 percent for fiscal 2006. Improvements in operating income margins were due to increases in higher gross margin subscription revenue.

Advanced Devices

Advanced Devices revenue was $26.5 million, up 20 percent from the fourth quarter of 2005. Advanced Devices revenue for fiscal 2006 was $103.0 million, up 13 percent from fiscal 2005 revenue, primarily due to increased sales in embedded and airborne products and revenue from the licensing of intellectual property to Nokia.

Advanced Devices operating income margins for the fourth quarter of 2006 were 5 percent, compared to 11 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005. Advanced Devices operating income margins for fiscal 2006 were 10 percent, compared to 14 percent in fiscal 2005. Excluding the impact of FAS 123(R) adoption Advanced Devices operating income margins were 7 percent for the fourth quarter and 12 percent for fiscal 2006. Declines in operating income margins for the quarter and the fiscal year were due to product mix and increased development costs.

Two-for-One Stock Split

On January 17, 2007, Trimble's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of all outstanding shares of the Company's Common stock, payable February 22, 2007, to stockholders of record on February 8, 2007. Stockholders who receive shares in the acquisition of @Road will have their shares adjusted to reflect the stock split. Earnings per share numbers detailed in this press release do not reflect the stock split.

Non-GAAP vs. GAAP Financials

The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures including "non-GAAP net income," "non-GAAP operating income," and "non-GAAP earnings per share" to supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the user's overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and its prospects for the future. In many cases, non-GAAP financial measures are used by analysts and investors to evaluate the Company.

The Company excludes the amortization of purchased intangibles, in-process research and development, restructuring charges, acquisition related step-up charges, write-off of debt issuance costs, and the impact of stock-based compensation in computing non-GAAP measures because the chief executive officer excludes these items when budgeting and evaluating the business and in some cases were applicable to both periods because of acquisitions or accounting change rules. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to supersede or replace the Company's GAAP results. Please see the supplemental financial statements, attached to this press release, for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

Forward Looking Guidance

GAAP guidance for the first quarter of 2007 does not include the impact of the anticipated acquisition of @Road announced on December 11, 2006, which is expected to close in February of 2007.

In the first quarter of 2007, the Company expects revenue to grow 16 to 18 percent compared to the first quarter of 2006, with revenue between $262 million and $267 million. At a 36 percent tax rate, with approximately 59.0 million shares outstanding, the Company expects first quarter 2007 GAAP earnings per share between $0.45 and $0.48.

The above GAAP guidance includes stock-based compensation. On a post-tax basis, the Company expects stock-based compensation for the first quarter of 2007 to be approximately $0.03 per share.

The Company expects non-GAAP earnings per share between $0.54 and $0.57 in the first quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP guidance for the first quarter of 2007 uses a 36 percent tax rate and excludes the amortization of intangibles of $5.1 million in the quarter, as well as the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation expense of $3.3 million. For year-over-year comparisons, it should be noted that the tax rate in the first quarter of 2006 was 28 percent and is forecasted to be 36 percent for the first quarter of 2007. It should also be noted that first quarter 2007 guidance includes the expected impact of deferred revenue write downs for acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2006.

As guided in the @Road announcement in December 2006, Trimble currently expects total 2007 company revenue between $1,140 million and $1,170 million, assuming a February 2007 close of the @Road acquisition. Of this amount, approximately $80 million to $85 million in revenue is expected to come from the acquisition of @Road.

Trimble expects full-year 2007 non-GAAP earnings per share of between $2.10 and $2.15. Trimble's baseline outlook for the company, excluding the @Road acquisition, is between $2.30 and $2.35 non-GAAP earnings per share. The @Road transaction is expected to be single-digit dilutive in 2007 on a percent basis due to interest payments on debt, an assumed higher share count and the deferred revenue write down, partially offset by synergy savings and improved business profitability. Trimble will update its total company guidance for 2007 in detail, including the impact from @Road, on its April 2007 conference call.

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, amortization of purchased intangibles and earnings per share estimates for the first quarter and fiscal 2007 including the expected impact of the @Road acquisition. 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. Fuel and other operating costs could remain high or increase, which could weaken sales into the agricultural market. 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. The Company's results would also be negatively impacted by unforeseen costs associated with the acquisition of @Road or delays in integrating the two companies. 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 fiscal quarter of 2007 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 Company expressly disclaims any undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any statements to reflect any change in the Company's expectations or any change of events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
