Overview And Accounting Policies
NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our results of our consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The interim financial information is unaudited, and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with our 2024 Form 10-K that includes additional information about our significant accounting policies and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates.
We prepared our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 2024 Form 10-K.
We use a 52- to 53-week year ending on the Friday nearest to December 31. 2025 is a 52-week year, and 2024 was a 53-week year. The first quarter of 2025 began on January 4, 2025 and ended on April 4, 2025. The first quarter of 2024 began on December 30, 2023 and ended on March 29, 2024. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to these periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions are used for (i) revenue recognition, including determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and determining standalone selling price of performance obligations; (ii) inventory valuation; (iii) valuation of investments; (iv) valuation of long-lived assets and their estimated useful lives; (v) goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment analyses; (vi) stock-based compensation; and (vii) income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires additional disclosures by disaggregating the costs and expense line items that are presented on the face of the income statement. The disaggregation includes: (i) amounts of purchased inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and other related costs and expenses; (ii) an explanation of costs and expenses that are not disaggregated on a quantitative basis; and (iii) the definition and total amount of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for our annual report on Form 10-K beginning in 2027 and subsequent interim reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our financial reporting disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU updates the annual income tax disclosures by requiring (i) specific categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation; (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by taxing authority and jurisdiction; and (iii) disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit). Additionally, certain existing disclosure requirements are removed. The ASU is effective for our annual report on Form 10-K beginning in 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our financial reporting disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the first quarter of 2025.

Common Stock Repurchase
NOTE 2. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE
In the first quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing up to $1.0 billion in repurchases of our common stock. The new stock repurchase program replaced the prior 2024 stock repurchase program, which was approved in January 2024 and has been cancelled.
Under the 2025 stock repurchase program, we may repurchase stock from time to time through accelerated stock repurchase programs, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases, tender offers, or other means. The timing and actual amount of any stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, our stock price, other available uses of capital, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. This program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date. At the end of the first quarter of 2025, there were remaining authorized funds of $372.6 million.
During the first quarter of 2025, we repurchased approximately 9.0 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $69.93 per share for a total of $627.4 million. During the first quarter of 2024, we repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $60.97 per share for a total of $175.0 million.
Stock repurchases are reflected as a decrease to common stock based on par value and additional-paid-in-capital, determined by the average book value per share of outstanding stock, 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. Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes.

NOTE 3. DIVESTITURES
Mobility Divestiture
On February 8, 2025, we completed the sale of our Mobility business to Platform Science in exchange for equity ownership interests with a fair value of $253.9 million. The fair value was based on unobservable inputs, including discounted cash flow projections, market comparables, and an option pricing model. Following the closing of the transaction, we own, or have rights to acquire, 32.5% of Platform Science’s expanded business comprised of (i) shares of preferred stock, with certain liquidation preferences, that represent 28.5% ownership, and (ii) common stock warrants allowing us the rights to acquire 4% of additional ownership.
Upon closing the transaction, we deconsolidated $277.3 million of net assets including $145.3 million of goodwill, and we recorded our equity investment at its fair value under the measurement alternative election, which represents a non-cash investing activity. As a result, we recognized a cumulative, pre-tax loss of $30.6 million from the held for sale date in the third quarter of 2024 to the closing date. Mobility was reported as a part of our T&L segment.
The combined business aims to enhance driver experience, fleet safety, efficiency, and compliance by combining two cutting-edge in-cab commercial vehicle ecosystems.
Ag Divestiture
On April 1, 2024, we completed the sale and contribution of our Ag business to AGCO in exchange for $1.9 billion of cash proceeds and an equity ownership interest in PTx Trimble, a joint venture (the “JV”) that was formed by Trimble and AGCO, with a fair value of $275.6 million. The fair value was based on a combination of the equity value, primarily the transaction price, and an option pricing model for a put and call option. Following the closing of the transaction, we own 15% of PTx Trimble.
Upon closing the transaction, we deconsolidated $457.3 million of net assets, including $357.4 million of goodwill, and we recorded our equity investment at its fair value under the equity method of accounting, which represents a non-cash investing activity. As a result, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2024, which included the gain for our retained 15% ownership interest in the JV. The sale and contribution of the Ag business excluded certain GNSS and guidance technologies. Ag was reported as a part of our Field Systems segment.
The formation of the JV is expected to better serve farmers with factory fit and aftermarket applications in the mixed fleet precision agriculture market to help farmers drive productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.

Equity Method Investments
Equity method investments primarily represent joint operating ventures in privately-held companies with ownership rights varying from 15% to 50%. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for these investments by recording our proportionate share of net earnings or losses of investees in non-operating income (expense), net and by monitoring these investments for any impairments.
The total carrying amount of equity method investments was primarily related to our 15% investment in PTx Trimble of $220.5 million and $222.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and the year end 2024.
Other Investments
Other investments represent early-stage companies without readily determinable fair values with ownership rights varying from 1% to 32.5%. The Company applies the measurement alternative for these investments, which requires measurement at initial cost, less any impairments, adjusted for observable price changes. Adjustments are recorded in other income (expense), net, which were immaterial for the periods presented.
The total carrying amount of other investments was primarily related to our 32.5% investment in Platform Science of $253.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Reporting Segment And Geographic Information
NOTE 7. REPORTING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
We determined our operating segments based on how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), views and evaluates operations. Various factors, including market separation and customer-specific applications, go-to-market channels, and products and services, were considered in determining these operating segments. Our CODM uses segment revenue and operating income to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. The CODM evaluates segment revenue and operating income by considering periodic forecast-to-actual variances and trends, as well as overall strategic initiatives. Asset information by segments is not regularly reviewed by the CODM.
In each of our segments, we sell many individual products. For this reason, it is impracticable to segregate and identify revenue for each of the individual products or group of products we sell.
Our reportable segments are described below:
Architects, Engineers, Construction and Owners (“AECO”). This segment primarily serves customers working in architecture, engineering, construction, design, asset management, operations, and maintenance. Within this segment, our most substantial product portfolios are software solutions focused on design, engineering, building and civil construction, capital planning, and asset management software. Products are sold primarily through a direct channel to customers.
Field Systems. This segment primarily serves customers working in surveying and mapping, civil construction, building construction field services, and positioning systems. Within this segment, our most substantial product portfolios are hardware and software solutions focused on geospatial, civil engineering construction, and positioning services. Products are sold and distributed primarily through a global network of independent distribution partners.
Transportation and Logistics (“T&L”). This segment provides a suite of solutions for shippers, carriers, and intermediaries globally. Within this segment, our most substantial product portfolio addresses the truckload freight market. Products are sold primarily through a direct channel to customers.
The following reporting segment tables reflect the revenue, costs and expenses, and operating income of our reportable operating segments under our management reporting system. Segment costs and expenses include directly attributable costs and certain indirect costs allocated to segments, such as facilities, information technology, cloud services, finance, legal, and human resources. This is consistent with the way the CODM evaluates each of the segment’s performance and allocates resources.

Additional details are unchanged from the information disclosed in Note 8 “Debt” of the 2024 Form 10-K.
Credit Facilities
2022 Credit Facility
In 2022, we entered into a five-year, unsecured, revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1.25 billion. Subject to approval, we may increase the commitments for revolving loans by an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million. The variable interest rate and commitment fees are based on our current long-term, senior unsecured debt ratings, our leverage ratio, and certain specified sustainability targets.
At the end of the first quarter of 2025, we were in compliance with our debt covenants for the 2022 credit facility. Additional details are unchanged from the information disclosed in Note 8 “Debt” of the 2024 Form 10-K.
Uncommitted Facilities
At the end of the first quarter of 2025, we had two $75.0 million and one €100.0 million revolving credit facilities, which are uncommitted. Generally, these variable-rate, uncommitted facilities may be redeemed upon demand. Borrowings under uncommitted facilities are classified as short-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Fair Value Measurements
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is measured by using observable or, to the extent necessary, unobservable inputs.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value include our deferred compensation plan. The fair value was $29.3 million and $31.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and the end of 2024, and is included in Other non-current assets and Other non-current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value was measured by using quoted prices in active markets.
Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (debt) had an estimated fair value of $1.4 billion at both the end of the first quarter of 2025 and the end of 2024. The fair value of the debt was determined based on observable market prices in less active markets. The fair values do not indicate the amount we would currently have to pay to extinguish the debt.

Earnings Per Share
NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, contingently issuable shares, and shares to be purchased under our employee stock purchase plan.
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Income Taxes
NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES
For the first quarter of 2025, our effective income tax rate was 22.8%, as compared to 21.6% in the corresponding period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to lower U.S. federal R&D credits, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation deductions.
Unrecognized tax benefits of $46.4 million and $45.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and at the end of 2024, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. At the end of the first quarter of 2025 and at the end of 2024, we accrued interest and penalties of $10.0 million and $8.8 million.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our results of our consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The interim financial information is unaudited, and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with our 2024 Form 10-K that includes additional information about our significant accounting policies and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates.
We prepared our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our 2024 Form 10-K.
We use a 52- to 53-week year ending on the Friday nearest to December 31. 2025 is a 52-week year, and 2024 was a 53-week year. The first quarter of 2025 began on January 4, 2025 and ended on April 4, 2025. The first quarter of 2024 began on December 30, 2023 and ended on March 29, 2024. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to these periods.
Use of Estimates Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions are used for (i) revenue recognition, including determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and determining standalone selling price of performance obligations; (ii) inventory valuation; (iii) valuation of investments; (iv) valuation of long-lived assets and their estimated useful lives; (v) goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment analyses; (vi) stock-based compensation; and (vii) income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires additional disclosures by disaggregating the costs and expense line items that are presented on the face of the income statement. The disaggregation includes: (i) amounts of purchased inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and other related costs and expenses; (ii) an explanation of costs and expenses that are not disaggregated on a quantitative basis; and (iii) the definition and total amount of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for our annual report on Form 10-K beginning in 2027 and subsequent interim reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The ASU can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our financial reporting disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU updates the annual income tax disclosures by requiring (i) specific categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation; (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by taxing authority and jurisdiction; and (iii) disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit). Additionally, certain existing disclosure requirements are removed. The ASU is effective for our annual report on Form 10-K beginning in 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our financial reporting disclosures.
