NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED
NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Trimble Navigation Limited (the "Company"), incorporated in California in 1981, provides positioning solutions to commercial and government users in a large number of markets. These markets include surveying, agriculture, construction, asset management, mapping and mobile resource management.
The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2011 was December 30, 2011. The third quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011 ended on September 28, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Fiscal 2012 and 2011 are both 52-week years. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to the Company’s fiscal year and fiscal periods.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling shareholders’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying financial data as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011 has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of fiscal year end 2011 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Trimble Navigation Limited for fiscal year 2011. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, results of operations for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods. Individual segment revenue may be affected by seasonal buying patterns and general economic conditions. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date that these financial statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company has presented revenue and cost of sales separately for products, service and subscriptions. Product revenue includes primarily hardware, software licenses, parts and accessories; service revenue includes primarily hardware and software maintenance and support, training and professional services; subscription revenue includes software as a service (SaaS). The Company has reclassified amounts in the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. None of the changes impacts previously reported consolidated revenue, cost of sales, operating income, or earnings per share.
NOTE 2. UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting polices during the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that simplifies the impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The new guidance gives the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative valuation test. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning fiscal 2013. The adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Activities
In October 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (“2011 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of Trimble’s common stock. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 or 2011. The timing and actual number of future shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without public notice.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for its employee stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) under the fair value method, which requires stock-based compensation to be estimated using the fair value on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is expected to vest is recognized as expense over the related employees’ requisite service periods in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock-based compensation (for all plans) included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011.

Fair value of Trimble Options
Stock option expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is based on the fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is expected to vest during the period and is net of estimated forfeitures. The Company’s compensation expense for stock options is recognized using the straight-line single option method. The fair values for stock options are estimated on the date of grant using the binomial valuation model. The binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate and risk free interest rate. In addition, the binomial model incorporates actual option-pricing behavior and changes in volatility over the option’s contractual term. For options granted during the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011, the following weighted average assumptions were used:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Third Quarter of | | First Three Quarters of |
| 2012 | | 2011 | | 2012 | | 2011 |
Expected dividend yield | — | | — | | — | | — |
Expected stock price volatility | 41.1% | | 43.6% | | 41.2% | | 43.6% |
Risk free interest rate | 0.6% | | 1.6% | | 0.7% | | 1.6% |
Expected life of options | 4.1 years | | 4.2 years | | 4.2 years | | 4.2 years |
Expected Dividend Yield – The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.
Expected Stock Price Volatility – The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock and historical volatility, commensurate with the expected life of the stock options.
Expected Risk Free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected life of the stock options.
Expected Life Of Options – The Company’s expected life represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and is determined based on historical experience of similar stock options with consideration to the contractual terms of the stock options, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.
Fair value of Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units are converted into shares of Trimble common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. Vesting of restricted stock units is subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company. The compensation expense related to these awards was determined using the fair value of Trimble’s common stock on the date of grant, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Fair value of Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, rights to purchase shares are generally granted during the second and fourth quarter of each year. The fair value of rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION
Tekla Corporation
On July 8, 2011 the Company acquired 99.46% of the outstanding shares of Tekla Corporation (“Tekla”) for $454.9 million in cash. Tekla is headquartered in Finland and is a provider of building information modeling software and other model driven solutions for customers in the infrastructure and energy industries. The Company purchased the remaining shares of Tekla in February 2012 after completing compulsory redemption proceedings under the Finish Companies Act. The acquisition was funded through the use of approximately $54.9 million of the Company's existing cash, with the remainder funded through the Company's credit facilities. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $6.4 million in acquisition-related costs related primarily to investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional services. The acquisition costs were expensed as incurred and were included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with $5.6 million and $6.4 million recognized in the third and first three quarters of fiscal 2011, respectively.
Tekla is a leading provider of information model based software for the building and construction and infrastructure and energy industries. The objective of the acquisition was to integrate Tekla's Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solutions with Trimble's building construction estimating, project management and BIM-to-field solutions and enable a compelling set of productivity solutions for contractors around the world. Tekla's infrastructure and energy solutions complement Trimble's growing portfolio of utilities and municipalities solutions. Additionally, Trimble's significant global customer base immediately extended Tekla's customer reach while Tekla's global presence in the building and construction market bolstered Trimble's own customer reach.
Tekla's results of operations from July 8, 2011 through the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011 have been included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the third and first three quarters of fiscal 2011. Tekla's building and construction activities are included within the Company's Engineering and Construction business segment and Tekla's infrastructure and energy activities are included within the Company's Field Solutions business segment.
The fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates and assumptions provided by management.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Tekla and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the estimated useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the date of the acquisition:

Goodwill | $ | 290,430 |
| | |
* Of the $457.4 million, $2.5 million was held in a cash account at the end of fiscal 2011 and represents the 0.54% of shares that were not yet acquired by the Company. In February, 2012 the Company purchased the remaining shares at the same per share price as was provided for the original 99.46% of shares obtained. Therefore, the non-controlling interest was valued based on that per-share price.
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill consists of Tekla's highly skilled and valuable assembled workforce, a proven ability to generate new products and services to drive future revenue, and a premium paid by the Company for synergies unique to its business. The Company recorded $290.4 million of goodwill from this acquisition with $245.6 million assigned to the Engineering and Construction segment and $44.8 million assigned to the Field Solutions segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Details of the net tangible assets acquired are as follows:
|
| | | | |
| | As of July 8, 2011 |
(Dollars in thousands) | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 12,871 |

|
The historical financial statements of Tekla were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Therefore, the Company adjusted the net tangible assets and liabilities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, the Company recorded adjustments to align Tekla's accounting policies with that of the Company and adjustments to measure the assets and liabilities assumed at fair value.
During the third and first three quarters ended fiscal 2011, Tekla contributed $15.2 million of revenue and recorded $1.1 million of operating loss within the business segments. The following table presents pro forma results of operations of the Company and Tekla, as if the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2011, or of future results. Included in the pro forma results are fair value adjustments based on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date of July 8, 2011. Pro-forma results include amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition, interest expense for debt used to purchase Tekla, and income tax effects, and for the third and first three quarters ended fiscal 2011, the pro forma results exclude foreign currency transaction gain/(loss) recognized on a hedge and acquisition related cost associated with the purchase of Tekla.

|
The additions due to acquisitions of $249.1 million include businesses from current year's acquisitions, however the effects of each of these acquisitions were not material individually or in the aggregate to the Company’s results. The Company determined the total consideration paid for each of its acquisitions as well as the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. For certain acquisitions completed in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and may be adjusted as the Company obtains additional information, primarily related to adjustments for the true up of acquired net working capital in accordance with certain purchase agreements, and estimated values of certain net tangible assets and liabilities including tax balances, pending the completion of final studies and analyses. If there are adjustments made for these items the fair value of intangible asset and goodwill could be impacted. Thus the provisional measurements of fair value are subject to change. Such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of the net tangible and intangible assets as soon as practicable, but not later than one-year from the acquisition date.

Credit Facilities
On May 6, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “2011 Credit Facility”). This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $400.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility may be increased by up to $300.0 million in the aggregate and the term loan facility may no longer be increased. Additionally, on July 14, 2011, the Company entered into a $50 million uncommitted revolving loan facility (the “2011 Uncommitted Facility”), which is callable by the bank at any time and has no covenants. On January 27, 2012, this facility was increased to $75 million. The interest rate on the 2011 Uncommitted Facility is 1.00% plus either LIBOR or the bank’s cost of funds or as otherwise agreed upon by the bank and the Company.
As of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $370.0 million and a revolving credit line of $213.0 million under the 2011 Credit Facility and a revolving credit line of $57.0 million under the 2011 Uncommitted Facility. Of the total outstanding balance, $340.0 million of the term loan and the $213.0 million revolving credit line are classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The funds available under the 2011 Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, the financing of certain acquisitions and the payment of transaction fees and expenses related to such acquisitions. Under the 2011 Credit Facility, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on May 6, 2016, at which time the revolving facility will terminate, and all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid. Amounts not borrowed under the revolving facility will be subject to a commitment fee, to be paid in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter, ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% per annum depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The term loan will be repaid in quarterly installments, with the last quarterly payment to be made at April 1, 2016. On an annualized basis, the amortization of the term loan is as follows: 5%, 5%, 10%, 10% and 70% for years one through five respectively. The term loan may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum thresholds, without penalty or premium. Amounts repaid or prepaid with respect to the term loan facility may not be reborrowed.
The Company may borrow funds under the 2011 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars, Euros or in certain other agreed currencies, and borrowings will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either: (i) a floating per annum base rate based on the administrative agent’s prime rate or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 0.25% and 1.25%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted fixed per annum rate based on LIBOR, EURIBOR, STIBOR or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.25% and 2.25%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Interest will be paid on the last day of each fiscal quarter with respect to borrowings bearing interest based on a floating rate, or on the last day of an interest period, but at least every three months, with respect to borrowings bearing interest at a fixed rate. The Company’s obligations under the 2011 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.
The 2011 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by the Company, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2011 Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to dispose of
assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions and make investments. Further, the 2011 Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require the maintenance of minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. Specifically, the Company must maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of (a) EBITDA (as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.5 to 1. The Company must also maintain, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of (x) total indebtedness to (y) EBITDA (as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not greater than 3 to 1; provided, that on the completion of a material acquisition, the Company may increase the ratio by 0.25 for the fiscal quarter during which such acquisition occurred and each of the three subsequent fiscal quarters.
The Company was in compliance with these restrictive covenants as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
The 2011 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate the Company’s obligations under the 2011 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.
Promissory Notes and Other Debt
As of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal year end 2011, the Company had promissory notes and other debt totaling approximately $3.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million for both periods was classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, outstanding notes payable of $2.5 million represented most of this balance and consisted primarily of notes payable to noncontrolling interest holders. The notes bear interest at 2.5% - 3.3% and will be paid in July, 2013.
Leases and Other Commitments
The estimated future minimum operating lease commitments as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
|
| | | |
| |
2012 (Remaining) | $ | 7,319 |
|
2013 | 20,606 |

|
2016 | 8,893 |
|
Thereafter | 9,859 |
|
Total | $ | 76,840 |
|
Additionally, the Company has potential obligations related to previous acquisitions. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company had $5.3 million of holdbacks, which are included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, certain acquisitions include additional earn-out cash payments based on future revenue or gross margin derived from existing products and other product milestones. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company had $2.3 million included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities related to these earn-outs, representing the fair value of the contingent consideration. Additional potential earn-out cash payments in excess of that recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $4.8 million as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The remaining earn-outs and holdbacks are payable through 2016.
As of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $82.7 million. These unconditional purchase obligations primarily represent open non-cancelable purchase orders for material purchases with the Company’s vendors. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. These unconditional purchase obligations are related primarily to inventory and other items.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could
be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market, and the instruments’ complexity.
Assets and liabilities, recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by the guidance on fair value measurements are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, and are as follows:
Level I – Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level II – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level III – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.

(1) | These investments are highly liquid investments in money market funds. The fair values are determined using observable quoted prices in active markets. Money market funds are included in Cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
| |
(2) | The Company maintains a self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other highly compensated employees. The plan assets and liabilities are invested in actively traded mutual funds and individual stocks valued using observable quoted prices in active markets. Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are included in Other non-current assets and Other non-current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
| |
(3) | Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level II primarily represent forward currency exchange contracts. The Company typically enters into these contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables. The derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. The fair values are determined using inputs based on observable quoted prices. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in Other current assets and Other current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
| |
(4) | The Company has seven contingent consideration arrangements that require it to pay the former owners of certain companies it acquired. The undiscounted maximum payment under all seven arrangements as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 is |
$7.1 million based on future revenues, gross margins or operating income over a 19 month period. The Company estimated the fair value of these liabilities using the expected cash flow approach with inputs being probability-weighted revenue, gross margin or operating income projections, as the case may be, and discount rates ranging from 0.10% to 2.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and 0.06% to 3.5% for fiscal year end 2011. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal year end 2011, of the total contingent consideration liability, $1.7 million and $4.5 million was included in Other current liabilities, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.5 million was included in Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the balance from fiscal year end 2011 was due primarily to $2.8 million of earnout payments made during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

The fair value of the bank borrowings and promissory notes has been calculated using an estimate of the interest rate the Company would have had to pay on the issuance of notes with a similar maturity and discounting the cash flows at that rate. The fair values do not give an indication of the amount that the Company would currently have to pay to extinguish any of this debt.
NOTE 10. PRODUCT WARRANTIES
The Company accrues for warranty costs as part of its cost of sales based on associated material product costs, technical support labor costs and costs incurred by third parties performing work on the Company’s behalf. The Company’s expected future costs are primarily estimated based upon historical trends in the volume of product returns within the warranty period and the costs to repair or replace the equipment. The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to 5.5 years.
While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.
Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 are as follows:

For the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011 the Company excluded 2.6 million and 2.9 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011 the Company excluded 2.3 million shares and 1.6 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. These shares were excluded because the exercise prices of these stock options were greater than or equal to the average market value of the common shares during the respective periods. Inclusion of these shares would be antidilutive. These options could be included in the calculation in the future if the average market value of the common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price of these options.
NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES
In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 19% as compared to 9% in the corresponding period in 2011, primarily due to geographic mix of pretax income and the expiration of federal R&D credits. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 18% as compared to 12% in the corresponding period in 2011, primarily due to the same reasons mentioned above.
The 2012 and 2011 third quarter effective tax rates are lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the geographical mix of pre-tax income.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state, and foreign income tax. The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax audits for years through 2009 with the exception of acquired companies. State income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2005 and non-U.S. income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2000. The Company is currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. Although the timing of resolution and/or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.
The unrecognized tax benefits of 32.8 million and $28.7 million as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal year end 2011, respectively, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in Other non-current liabilities and in the deferred tax accounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company's unrecognized tax benefit liabilities include interest and penalties as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal year end 2011, of $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 2, 2012, the Company acquired privately-held TMW Systems Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries, including TMW Systems, Inc. ("TMW"), a leading provider of enterprise software to transportation and logistics companies. TMW's transportation software platform serves as a central hub from which the core operations of transportation organizations are managed, data is stored and analyzed, and mission critical business processes are automated. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TMW Systems Holdings LLC for a total purchase price of approximately $334 million. The all cash purchase price was financed through the Company's existing credit facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U. S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, doubtful accounts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, stock-based compensation, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring costs, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the amount and timing of revenue and expense and the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting polices during the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2012, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that simplifies the impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The new guidance gives the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative valuation test. The new standard is effective for us beginning fiscal 2013. The adoption of the guidance will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW
Trimble's focus is on combining positioning technology with wireless communication and application capabilities to create system-level solutions that enhance productivity and accuracy for our customers. The majority of our markets are end-user markets, including engineering and construction firms, governmental organizations, public safety workers, farmers, and companies who must manage fleets of mobile workers and assets. In our Advanced Devices segment, we also provide components to original equipment manufacturers to incorporate into their products. In the end-user markets, we provide a system that includes a hardware platform that may contain software and customer support. Some examples of our solutions include products that automate and simplify the process of surveying land, products that automate the utilization of equipment such as tractors and bulldozers, products that enable a company to manage its mobile workforce and assets, and products that allow municipalities to manage their fixed assets. In addition, we also provide software applications on a stand-alone basis. For example, we provide software for project management on construction sites.
Solutions targeted at the end-user make up a significant majority of our revenue. To create compelling products, we must attain an understanding of the end-users' needs and work flow, and how location-based technology can enable that end-user to work faster, more efficiently, and more accurately. We use this knowledge to create highly innovative products that change the way work is done by the end-user. With the exception of our Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices segments, our products are generally sold through a dealer channel, and it is crucial that we maintain a proficient, global, third-party distribution channel.
We continued to execute our strategy with a series of actions that can be summarized in three categories.
Reinforcing our position in existing markets
* We believe these markets provide us with additional, substantial potential for substituting our technology for traditional methods. We are continuing to develop new products and to strengthen our distribution channels in order to expand our market.
In our Engineering and Construction segment, we extended our building information modeling-to-field capabilities for building contractors by integrating file import capabilities from the SketchUp’s software into the Trimble Field Link layout software. Trimble Field Link software now allows contractors to take their 3D SketchUp Pro models from the office into the field for quick site verification and viability testing of the proposed prototype. We also introduced a number of infrastructure hardware and software that utilize Trimble RTX, or Real-Time eXtended, technology for high-accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System, or GNSS, corrections. RTX technology utilizes real-time GNSS corrections from a global reference station network to compute centimeter level positions based on satellite orbit and clock information. We also launched the Spectra Precision® DR400 DigiRod which is a new tool that eliminates the need for grade rods when checking grades with a rotating laser. Another new product, the Spectra Precision QM75 Quick Measure distance meter designed to give contractors a distance measuring tool that is easy to use and can withstand the rigors of the construction jobsite. We further added new products to our Railway Solutions portfolio: the Trimble GEDO CE 2.0 Trolley System and GEDO 2.0 Office 2.0 Software. The latest trolley system is lightweight, flexible and quickly adapting to work on various railway gauges. In addition to using GPS/GNSS and optical sensors, the GEDO CE 2.0 Trolley also features the ability to use laser scanners for track clearance surveying applications.
In our Field Solutions segment, we introduced the WM-Topo survey system, a portable topographic data collection solution for water management which allows farmers, and drainage and leveling contractors to collect topographic data across a field which can subsequently be transferred to Farm Works Surface software or the FmX® display integrated display via a USB stick, or wirelessly via Trimble's Connected Farm solution. Furthermore, we launched the Connected Farm™ app for smartphone platforms that gives farmers an easy-to-use tool to capture field data for later viewing and analysis online, while also providing agronomists with access to additional data they can use to better assess the needs of their customers. Another solution launched this quarter, Trimble Yield Monitoring for the CFX-750 display, provides an accurate system to collect yield and moisture data for grain crops so farmers can instantly see how well their crops performed. We also introduced the GreenSeeker handheld crop sensor which is an easy-to-use measurement device designed to assess the health of a crop. Readings taken with the GreenSeeker handheld can be used to make objective decisions regarding the amount of fertilizer to be applied to a crop, resulting in a more efficient use of fertilizer.
In our Advanced Devices segment, we made available a number of new capabilities for the ThingMagic® Mercury® 6e (M6e) embedded UHF RFID module and Mercury 6 finished reader. The added functionality helps users develop and deploy reliable, high performance RFID-enabled solutions for a broad range of traditional and innovative applications. During the quarter, we also launched the ThingMagic Astra-EX module which is an addition to the integrated UHF RFID reader/antenna product family. The Astra-EX module builds on the capabilities of the widely deployed first generation Astra reader and includes several new high-performance and application-specific features which can be easily integrated with corporate IT infrastructure and enterprise lay-outs.
All of these products and initiatives strengthened our competitive position and created new value for our customers.
Extending our position in new and existing markets through new product categories
* We are utilizing the strength of the Trimble brand in our markets to expand our revenue by bringing new products to new and existing users. In our Engineering and Construction segment, our acquisition of WinEstimator, Inc, a provider of construction cost estimating and cost-modeling software, is expected to extend capabilities for general contractor and owner customers that want to better develop, manage and leverage their construction cost information to support their core business.
In our Mobile Solutions segment, we introduced the cBin solution for managing recycling containers. The solution provides environmental services professionals and fleet managers with the ability to monitor container levels on a daily basis and the tools to build just in time customized collection routes to pick up full containers which leads to the optimization of fuel and labor use. We have also extended our operations through the acquisition of Logicway, a privately held company from Netherlands and a provider of software for automating payroll and expenses with a specific focus on the transportation and logistics industry.
Bringing existing technology to new markets
* We continue to reinforce our position in existing markets and position ourselves in newer markets that will serve as important sources of future growth. New initiatives are focused in emerging markets in Africa, China, India, Asia, the Middle-East and Russia. We continued to expand our network of SITECH Technology Dealers during the quarter by adding a new dealership in Mongolia. This dealer will represent the Trimble and Caterpillar machine control systems for the contractor's entire fleet of heavy equipment regardless of machine brand.
Our Engineering and Construction segment announced that it will supply more than 500 Trimble NetR9 GNSS reference station receivers to the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) which is a part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, to modernize its nationwide GeoNet GNSS-based network.

Revenue
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we have presented revenue separately for products, services and subscriptions. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, total revenue increased by $87.3 million or 21%, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Of this increase, product revenue increased $53.6 million, or 16%, service revenue increased $19.7 million, or 44%, and subscription revenue increased $14.0 million, or 35%. The product and service revenue increase during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared with the corresponding period of fiscal 2011 was driven by organic growth and to a lesser extent, acquisitions not applicable in the prior periods, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange rates. Subscription revenue increased primarily due to organic growth in the PeopleNet business as well as the prior period including a partial quarter of PeopleNet results. We consider organic growth to include all revenue except for revenue associated with acquisitions made within the last four quarters.
In the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, total revenue increased by $315.7 million or 26%, as compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2011. Of this increase, product revenue increased $183.3 million, or 18%, service revenue increased $73.0 million, or 65%, and subscription revenue increased $59.5 million, or 64%. The product and service revenue increase during the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 as compared with the corresponding period of fiscal 2011 was driven by organic growth and acquisitions not applicable in the prior periods, including Tekla which was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2011, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange rates. Subscription revenue increased primarily due to the organic growth and the PeopleNet acquisition which was not acquired until the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
On a segment basis, Engineering and Construction revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 increased $46.1 million, or 19% Field Solutions increased $11.9 million, or 13%, Mobile Solutions increased $25.7 million or 44%, and Advanced Devices increased $3.6 million or 13%, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Revenue growth within Engineering and Construction was driven by strong organic growth due to sales of heavy and highway and vertical construction products and to a lesser extent, acquisitions not applicable in the prior period. The growth within Engineering and Construction was partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Field Solutions revenue increased primarily due to continued strength in the Agriculture market. Mobile Solutions revenue increased primarily due to PeopleNet's continued organic growth as well as the prior period including a partial quarter of PeopleNet results. Advanced Devices revenue increased primarily due to stronger sales of timing and embedded devices.
Engineering and Construction revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 increased $152.5 million, or 23%, Field Solutions increased $55.7 million, or 17%, Mobile Solutions increased $100.9 million or 71%, and Advanced Devices increased $6.7 million or 8%, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. Revenue growth within Engineering and Construction was driven by strong organic growth due to sales of heavy highway and vertical construction products and acquisitions not applicable in the prior periods, including Tekla which was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The growth within Engineering and Construction was partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Field Solutions revenue increased primarily due to continued strength in the Agriculture market and to a lesser extent, Tekla, which was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Mobile Solutions revenue increased primarily due to PeopleNet's continued organic growth as well as the PeopleNet acquisition itself which was not acquired until the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Advanced Devices revenue increased primarily due to stronger sales of timing and embedded devices.
Gross Margin
Gross margin varies due to a number of factors including product mix, pricing, distribution channel, production volumes and foreign currency translations.
Gross margin increased by $51.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011, and increased by $177.9 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2011. The increases in both periods were primarily due to increased sales in Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions and Mobile Solutions. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was 52.1%, as compared to 50.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, and was 51.8% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to 50.6% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2011. The increase in both periods was primarily due to an increase in sales of higher margin products, primarily software and subscription revenue, which were partially offset by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets.
Operating Income
Operating income increased by $31.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011, and increased by $54.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2011. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 12.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to 7.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, and was 12.0% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to 10.6% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2011. The increase in operating income and operating income percentage in both periods was primarily driven by higher revenue and gross margin expansion, partially offset by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets.

Engineering and Construction
Engineering and Construction revenue increased by $46.1 million or 19% and $152.5 million or 23% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2011. Segment operating income increased $25.8 million or 61% and $55.6 million or 49% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2011.
The revenue increase for the third quarter was primarily driven by organic growth due to sales of heavy and highway products and vertical construction products and to a lesser extent, acquisitions. Heavy and highway products demonstrated strong growth as adoption rates of technology accelerated. Additionally, greater contribution from vertical construction reflected some increased growth in North American commercial and residential construction as well as greater penetration internationally. Survey product sales were down, primarily due to European conditions. The growth within Engineering and Construction was partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Segment operating income increased primarily due to higher revenue, improved gross margin and increased operating leverage.
The revenue increase for the first three quarters was driven by organic growth due to sales of heavy and highway and vertical construction products and acquisitions not applicable in the prior periods, including Tekla which was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The growth within Engineering and Construction was partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Segment operating income increased primarily due to higher revenue, improved gross margin and increased operating leverage.
Field Solutions

Segment operating income increased by $5.0 million or 16% and $18.9 million or 15% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2011.
The revenue growth for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to continued strength in Agriculture. There was growth in all major regions in our Agriculture markets and increased sales growth for new information and flow control products. Segment operating income increased primarily due to higher revenue and associated higher gross margin.
The revenue growth for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to continued strength in the Agriculture markets and products as noted above and to a lesser extent, Tekla, which was not acquired until the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Segment operating income increased primarily due to higher revenue and associated higher gross margin.

Overall, R&D, S&M and G&A expense increased by approximately $18.7 million and $108.9 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to the same corresponding periods of fiscal 2011.
Research and development expense increased by $11.3 million and $46.3 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods of fiscal 2011. The cost of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility was not considered material and was expensed as incurred. Research and development spending overall was at approximately 12% of revenue in both the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011.
The increase in R&D expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the inclusion of expense of $4.0 million from acquisitions not applicable in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, a $4.5 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, and a $4.7 million increase in other expense, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
The increase in R&D expense in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the inclusion of expense of $30.4 million from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period, a $2.3 million increase in engineering costs associated with new product roll-outs, a $9.9 million increase in compensation related expense, and a $7.8 million increase in other expense, partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
* We believe that the development and introduction of new products are critical to our future success and we expect to continue active development of new products.
Sales and marketing expense increased by $5.8 million and $34.7 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods of fiscal 2011. Sales and marketing spending overall was at
approximately 15% of revenue in both third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to 17% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2011and 16% of revenue in the first three quarters of fiscal 2011.
The increase in S&M expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the inclusion of expense of $2.7 million from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $5.2 million increase in compensation related expense and a $0.4 million expense increase in other expense, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
The increase in S&M expense in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the inclusion of expense of $27.7 million from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $12.2 million increase in compensation related expense and a $0.1 million increase in other expense, partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
* Our future growth will depend in part on the timely development and continued viability of the markets in which we currently compete, as well as our ability to continue to identify and develop new markets for our products.
General and administrative expense increased by $1.6 million and $27.9 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods of fiscal 2011. General and administrative spending overall was at approximately 9% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and 10% of revenue in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to 10% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 9% of revenue in the first three quarters of fiscal 2011.
The increase in G&A expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2011 was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in compensation related expense, a $0.9 million increase in tax, legal and consulting expense and a $1.3 million increase in other expense, partially offset by the decreased expense of $3.7 million related to acquisitions in the prior year and a $0.9 million decrease due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
The increase in G&A expense in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2011 was primarily due the inclusion of expense of $13.7 million from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year, a $10.1 million increase in compensation related expense, a $3.8 million increase in tax, legal and consulting expense and a $2.2 million increase in other expense, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets
Amortization of purchased intangible assets was $31.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to $24.1million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Of the total $31.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, $15.7 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense and $15.7 million is presented as a separate line within Cost of sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The increase was due to acquisitions not included in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, future amortization of intangible assets is expected to be $31.7 million during the remaining one quarter of fiscal 2012, $121.9 million during 2013, $99.8 million during 2014, $87.7 million during 2015, $71.1 million during 2016 and $98.8 million thereafter.

Non-operating income (expense), net increased $5.9 million for the third quarter and decreased $0.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2011. The increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher profitability from joint ventures, and a loss on a hedge associated with the purchase of Tekla in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, offset by an increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt associated with
acquisitions. The increase in the first three quarters of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to higher profitability from joint ventures, offset by an increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt associated with acquisitions.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was 19%, as compared to 9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to geographic mix of pretax income and the expiration of federal R&D credit. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2012, our effective income tax rate was 18%, as compared to 12% in the corresponding period in 2011, primarily due to the same reasons mentioned above.
The 2012 and 2011 third quarter effective tax rates are lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the geographical mix of pre-tax income.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCINGS AND LIABILITIES
Other than lease commitments incurred in the normal course of business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, we do not have any interest in, or relationship with, any special purpose entities.
In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of its products, we indemnify other parties, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with us, with respect to certain matters. We have agreed to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, and our bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to our agents.
It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements were not material and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal year end 2011.
