Trimble 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.

    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 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 and non-recurring acquisition costs,
     which the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating
     performance.

            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 they are not indicative of our
    ( A )   core operating performance.

            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
    ( B )   they are not indicative of our core operating performance.

            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 determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R).  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 ended April 2, 2010 and April
    ( C )   3, 2009, stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:

            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
    ( D )   core operating performance.

            Non-recurring acquisition costs.  Included in our GAAP
            presentation of operating expenses and non-operating income
            (loss), 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 adjustments to the fair value of earnout
            liabilities and payments made to settle earnout and holdback
            disputes.  We exclude these items because they are non-
            recurring and unique to specific acquisitions and are not
    ( E )   indicative of our core operating performance.

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

            Stock-based Compensation. The amounts consist of expenses for
            employee stock options and awards and purchase rights under
            our employee stock purchase plan determined in accordance with
            SFAS 123(R). 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 to understand the
            impact of the application of SFAS 123(R) to our results of
            operations.  Stock-based compensation not allocated to the
            reportable segments was approximately $1,815 and $1,227 for
            the three months ended April 2, 2010 and April 3, 2009,
    ( G )   respectively.
