“In our October call we described an abrupt drop in demand in our Engineering and Construction segment in mid-September. This trend worsened during the fourth quarter,” said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble’s president and chief executive officer. “During this time of market volatility we will continue to take efforts to maintain our financial model, utilize this period of uncertainty as an opportunity to improve our strategic position, support those businesses with growth potential in the current environment, and adapt quickly to changing circumstances. For example, actions we have already taken will result in a reduction in the Trimble workforce of approximately ten percent, excluding acquisitions.”

“Our visibility into 2009 is extremely limited. We currently expect the first quarter to reflect the confusion of the fourth quarter. We hope to see a transition to more rational business decision making in the second quarter with the second half of the year in a difficult recession, but one in which we can begin to market our ROI message,” Berglund continued. “Our focus will be on managing through the recession as flexibly and opportunistically as we can while anticipating the inflection point when we can return to our historical growth trend.”

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.

Forward Looking Guidance

Trimble assumes that fourth quarter market uncertainty will continue into the first quarter of 2009. The Company currently estimates first quarter 2009 revenue of $300 million. However, given the volatility of current market conditions we believe this revenue estimate could vary plus or minus five percent. Using a $300 million dollar revenue estimate, first quarter 2009 GAAP earnings per share are projected to be $0.12 and non-GAAP earnings per share are projected to be $0.27. Non-GAAP guidance for the first quarter of 2009 excludes the amortization of intangibles of $14.2 million related to previous acquisitions, the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation expense of $4.2 million and $5.5 million in restructuring charges. Both GAAP and non-GAAP guidance use a 28 percent tax rate and assume 122 million shares outstanding.

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.

(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. We exclude these stock-based compensation expenses because they are non-cash expenses that we believe are not reflective of ongoing operation results. For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008 and September 28, 2007, stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:

	Three Months				Twelve Months
	Ended				Ended
	Jan-02,		Dec-28,		Jan-02,		Dec-28,
		2009	2007		2009		2007
Cost of sales	$	487	$	493	$	1,920	$	1,733
Research and development		860		954		3,489		3,573
Sales and Marketing		1,095		1,091		3,993		3,891
General and administrative		2,121		1,529		6,764		5,819
	$	4,563	$	4,067	$	16,166	$	15,016

(E) 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. 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 reflective of our ongoing operating results, and it is not used by management to assess the core profitability of our business operations.

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

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. Stock-based compensation not allocated to the reportable segments was approximately $1,243K and $1,088K for the three months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, respectively and $4,492K and $4,294K for the twelve months ended January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007, respectively.
