Trimble Announces First Quarter 2024 Results

Record annualized recurring revenue of $2.03 billion, up 23 percent on a year-over-year basis, up 13 percent on an organic basis Record GAAP gross margin of 62.3 percent and record non-GAAP gross margin of 65.8 percent GAAP operating income was $109.2 million, 11.5 percent of revenue, and non-GAAP operating income was $234.4 million, 24.6 percent of revenue Adjusted EBITDA was $250.9 million, 26.3 percent of revenue WESTMINSTER, Colo., May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble Inc. (NASDAQ:TRMB) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2024. First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights Revenue of $953.3 million, up 4 percent on a year-over-year basis, flat on an organic basis Annualized recurring revenue ("ARR") was $2.03 billion, up 23 percent year-over-year, up 13 percent on an organic basis GAAP operating income was $109.2 million, 11.5 percent of revenue and non-GAAP operating income was $234.4 million, 24.6 percent of revenue GAAP net income was $57.2 million and non-GAAP net income was $159.1 million Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") was $0.23 on a GAAP basis and $0.64 on a non-GAAP basis Adjusted EBITDA was $250.9 million, 26.3 percent of revenue Share repurchases of $175.0 million Executive Quote "We had a strong start to the year, delivering record annualized recurring revenue of $2.03 billion and record first quarter gross margin.  And on April 1, we closed our agriculture joint venture with AGCO," said Rob Painter, Trimble's president and chief executive officer. "With our new reporting segment and organization structure in place, we have further simplified and focused the Company to enable our customers to transform how they work, while creating value for our shareholders." Forward-Looking Guidance For the full-year 2024, Trimble expects to report revenue between $3,570 million and $3,670 million and non-GAAP EPS of $2.60 to $2.80. The full year 2024 non-GAAP EPS assumes a tax rate of 17.3 percent and approximately 244 million average shares outstanding. For the second quarter of 2024, Trimble expects to report revenue between $845 million and $875 million and non-GAAP EPS of $0.56 to $0.60. The second quarter of 2024 non-GAAP EPS assumes a tax rate of 17.3 percent and approximately 247 million average shares outstanding. Full-year 2024 and second quarter of 2024 guidance both reflect the closing of the joint venture with AGCO which closed at the beginning of the second quarter of 2024. Trimble is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of these measures to GAAP with a reasonable degree of accuracy because Trimble has not determined all assets, liabilities, and other adjustments, as well as related tax expense to calculate a gain associated with the agriculture business that was contributed to the joint venture with AGCO. Additionally the fair value of our 15 percent investment in the joint venture with AGCO has not been reasonably determined. An explanation of how we calculate non-GAAP EPS and other information relating to this non-GAAP measure is included in the supplemental schedule attached.

These statements include expectations about our future financial and operational results. These forward-looking statements are subject to change, and actual results may materially differ due to certain risks and uncertainties.

The Company's results would also be negatively impacted due to weakness and deterioration in the US and global macroeconomic outlook, including slowing growth, inflationary pressures and increases in interest rates, which may affect demand for our products and services and increase our costs, adversely affecting our revenues and profitability, supply chain shortages and disruptions, the pace at which our dealers work through their inventory, changes in our distribution channels, adverse geopolitical developments and the potential impact of volatility and conflict in the political and economic environment, including conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine and its direct and indirect impact on our business, foreign exchange fluctuations, the pace we transition our business model towards a subscription model, the imposition of barriers to international trade, the impact of acquisitions or divestitures, and our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, including our ability to remediate our material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Any failure to achieve predicted results could negatively impact the Company's revenue, cash flow from operations, and other financial results.
