Statement of Stockholders' Equity [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure | COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE In November 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program ("2014 Stock Repurchase Program"), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $300.0 million of Trimble’s common stock. In August 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program ("2015 Stock Repurchase Program"), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $400.0 million of Trimble’s common stock, replacing the 2014 Stock Repurchase Program. In November 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program ("2017 Stock Repurchase Program"), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $600.0 million of Trimble’s common stock. The stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and replaces the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program, which was completed. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share buyback programs, tender offers, or by other means. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. At the end of fiscal 2019, the 2017 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $172.4 million. During fiscal 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock in open market purchases, at an average price of $38.51 per share, for a total of $179.8 million under the 2017 Stock Repurchase Program. During fiscal 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock in open market purchases, at an average price of $37.23 per share, for a total of $90.0 million under the 2017 Stock Repurchase Program. During fiscal 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 7.4 million shares of common stock in open market purchases, at an average price of $39.18 per share, for a total of $288.3 million under the 2017 and 2015 Stock Repurchase Programs. Stock repurchases are reflected as a decrease to common stock based on par value and additional-paid-capital, based on the average book value per share for all outstanding shares calculated at the time of each individual repurchase transaction. The excess of the purchase price over this average for each repurchase was charged to retained earnings. As a result of the 2019 repurchases, retained earnings was reduced by $149.1 million in fiscal 2019. Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes.
