"Second quarter results reflected strong performance with particularly strong results in the Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions segments.  Mobile Solutions results remain below our long-term targeted performance but did meet expectations for the quarter with the segment on track to improved performance later in the second half of 2011," said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble's president and chief executive officer.  "While acknowledging emerging concerns about the state of the economy and the potential for greater uncertainty, we currently expect total company results for the year to exceed our original expectations.

"During the quarter we announced the acquisition of Tekla, a leader in Building Information Modeling (BIM), which complements our existing portfolio of businesses focused on BIM and smart tools.  Subsequently we also announced our intent to acquire PeopleNet, a leader in transportation and logistics (T&L) solutions, which will extend our capabilities in our T&L vertical.  Both Tekla and PeopleNet have strong historical financial track records and are currently producing results consistent with Trimble's growth and margin targets," Berglund concluded.

Segment operating income is revenue less cost of goods sold and operating expenses, excluding general corporate expenses, restructuring expenses, amortization of intangibles, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up charges and acquisition costs.  Non-GAAP segment operating income also excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense.
