Approximately $392 million remains under the current share repurchase authorization as of the end of the first quarter. As previously announced, Trimble has temporarily suspended its stock buyback program.

"The strength of the first quarter reflects our improving competitive position and strong execution in every segment," said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble's president and chief executive officer.  "Our strategic evolution, which is expected to accelerate with the recently announced Viewpoint and e-Builder acquisitions, will lead to higher value added solutions and higher revenue growth.  These acquisitions are expected to be accretive to operating margins and cash flow in 2019."

Forward Looking Guidance

For the second quarter of 2018, Trimble expects revenue to be between $755 million and $785 million with GAAP earnings per share of $0.21 to $0.26 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.42 to $0.46. Non-GAAP guidance excludes the amortization of intangibles of $42 million related to previous acquisitions, anticipated acquisition costs of $8 million, the anticipated impact of stock-based compensation expense of $15 million, and $2 million in anticipated restructuring charges. GAAP guidance assumes a tax rate of 15 percent and non-GAAP guidance assumes a tax rate of 19 percent. Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share assume approximately 253 million shares outstanding.

New Accounting Standard

Trimble adopted a new accounting standard, ASC 606, starting with the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which primarily affects recognition of revenue and related costs of sales for software term licenses, custom professional services contracts, and contracts with non-standard terms and conditions.  Trimble is utilizing the full retrospective method of transition, and prior periods presented here have been restated to reflect adoption of this new standard.
