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.

Any failure to achieve predicted results could negatively impact the Company's revenue, cash flow from operations, and other financial results.
