NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Trimble Navigation Limited (Trimble or the Company) began operations in 1978 and incorporated in California in 1981. The Company provides technology solutions that enable professionals and field mobile workers to improve or transform their work processes. The solutions are used across a range of industries including agriculture, architecture, civil engineering, construction, environmental management, government, natural resources, transportation and utilities. Representative customers include engineering and construction firms, contractors, surveying companies, farmers and agricultural companies, enterprise firms with large-scale fleets, energy, mining and utility companies, and state, federal and municipal governments.

Products frequently provide a good return on investment for customers through lower operational costs, higher productivity, improved quality, enhanced safety and compliance and reduced environmental impact. Product examples include: equipment that automates large industrial equipment such as tractors and bulldozers; surveying instruments; integrated systems that track fleets of vehicles and workers and provide real-time information and powerful analytics to the back-office; data collection systems that enable the management of large amounts of geo-referenced information; software solutions that connect all aspects of a construction site or farm; and building information modeling (BIM) software that is used throughout the design, build, and operation of buildings. The Company also manufactures components for in-vehicle navigation and telematics systems and timing modules used in the synchronization of wireless networks.

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2013 was January 3, 2014. The third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013 ended on October 3, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively. Fiscal 2014 is a 52-week year and 2013 is a 53-week year. 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 2014 and for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013 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 2013 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Trimble Navigation Limited for fiscal year 2013. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 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 have been made to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 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.

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).

Certain immaterial amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including certain line items within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

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 2014 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K.

7

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that generally requires the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Trimble adopted this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The implementation had no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014; however, early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. The Company will adopt the amendments beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of this change.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will amend the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. The Company is unable to determine at this time whether adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3. GAIN ON EQUITY SALE

In October, 2008, VirtualSite Solutions (VSS), a business formed by the Company and Caterpillar began operations. The Company originally had a 65% ownership and Caterpillar had a 35% ownership in VSS. VSS develops software for fleet management and connected worksite solutions for both Caterpillar and Trimble and in turn, sells software subscription services to Caterpillar and Trimble, which are sold through Caterpillar's and the Company's respective distribution channels. For financial reporting purposes, VSS’s assets and liabilities were consolidated with those of the Company, as were its results of operations, which were reported under the Engineering and Construction segment. Caterpillar’s 35% interest was included in the overall Consolidated Financial Statements as Noncontrolling interest.

Effective January 4, 2014, the Company sold 15% of its ownership in VSS to Caterpillar resulting in both the Company and Caterpillar owning 50% of the VSS joint venture. After the sale the Company no longer held a controlling interest in VSS. The sale of the 15% ownership resulted in the deconsolidation of VSS and a gain in the amount of $15.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Of this amount, $8.5 million relates to the remeasurement of the Company's retained interest to fair value which was measured using a combination of the income and market approaches. The total gain is included in Other income (loss), net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The new 50% investment in VSS is classified as an equity method investment.

NOTE 4. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Activities

In August 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (“2014 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $300.0 million of Trimble’s common stock, replacing a stock repurchase program which has been in place since 2011 and had $52.3 million remaining unused. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, under the provisions of both the 2014 and 2011 Stock Repurchase Programs, the Company repurchased approximately 2,083,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases, all of which were made in the third quarter, at an average price of $31.20 per share, for a total of $65.0 million. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the third and first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The purchase price was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average book value per share for all outstanding shares calculated for each individual repurchase transaction. The excess of the purchase price over this average for each repurchase was charged to retained earnings. As a result, retained earnings was reduced by $55.5 million in the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014. Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes. All common shares repurchased under this program have been retired. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the 2014 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $282.8 million. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share buyback programs, tender offers, or by other means. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

8

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 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013.

	Third Quarter of				First Three Quarters of
	2014		2013		2014		2013
(Dollars in thousands)
Cost of sales	$	776	$	609	$	2,286	$	1,816
Research and development	1,600		1,265		4,815		3,644
Sales and marketing	2,062		1,816		6,022		5,341
General and administrative	6,600		5,215		19,002		15,357
Total operating expenses	10,262		8,296		29,839		24,342
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	11,038	$	8,905	$	32,125	$	26,158

Fair value of Trimble Options

Stock option expense recognized in the unaudited 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 on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, typically four to five years. 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 2014 and 2013, the following weighted average assumptions were used:

	Third Quarter of		First Three Quarters of
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Expected dividend yield	—	—	—	—
Expected stock price volatility	35.4%	34.7%	35.4%	34.8%
Risk free interest rate	0.9%	0.5%	1.2%	0.5%
Expected life of options	3.9 years	3.8 years	4.0 years	4.0 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 is 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. Restricted stock units typically vest at the end of three years.

9

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 is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

NOTE 5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During first three quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company acquired ten businesses, all with cash consideration, across its Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, and Mobile Solutions segments. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income include the operating results of the businesses from the dates of acquisition. None of the acquisitions were significant individually or in the aggregate. The purchase prices ranged from less than $1.0 million to $83.1 million. The largest acquisitions were of a company that provides product in real estate and facility management software and a manufacturer of wireless and hardwired crane safety instrumentation. Both acquisitions are within the Engineering and Construction segment. In the aggregate, the businesses acquired during fiscal 2014 collectively contributed less than one percent to the Company's total revenue during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014.

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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, 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 assets 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.

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 value of intangible assets acquired is generally determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Acquisition costs directly related to the acquisitions of $4.1 million and $7.4 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively and $2.9 million and $9.3 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, respectively, were expensed as incurred and were included in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table summarizes the Company’s business combinations completed during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014.

NOTE 7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Trimble is a designer and distributor of positioning products and applications enabled by GPS, optical, laser, and wireless communications technology. The Company provides products for diverse applications in its targeted markets.

To achieve distribution, marketing, production and technology advantages, the Company manages its operations in the following four segments:

• Engineering and Construction — Consists of hardware and software solutions for a variety of applications including:  survey, heavy civil and building construction, infrastructure, geospatial, railway, mining and utilities.

• Field Solutions — Consists of hardware and software solutions for applications including agriculture, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS), utilities, and energy distribution.

• Mobile Solutions — Consists of hardware and software solutions that enable end-users to monitor and manage their mobile work, mobile workers and mobile assets.

• Advanced Devices — The various operations that comprise this segment are aggregated on the basis that these operations, taken as a whole, do not exceed 10% of the Company’s total revenue, operating income and assets. This segment is comprised of the Embedded Technologies and Timing, Military and Advanced Systems, Applanix, Trimble Outdoors, and ThingMagic businesses.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), its Chief Executive Officer, evaluates each of its segment’s performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income before income taxes and some corporate allocations. The Company and each of its segments employ consistent accounting policies. In each of its segments the Company sells many individual products. For this reason it is impractical to segregate and identify revenue for each of these individual products or groups of products.

The following table presents revenue, operating income, depreciation expense and identifiable assets for the four segments. Operating income is revenue less cost of sales and operating expense, excluding general corporate expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition costs and restructuring costs. The identifiable assets that the CODM views by segment are accounts receivable, inventories and goodwill.

Credit Facilities

On November 21, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “2012 Credit Facility”). This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $700.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2012 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility may be increased, and/or additional term loan commitments may be established, in an aggregate principal amount up to $300.0 million. The Company also has two$75 million uncommitted revolving loan facilities (the “Uncommitted Facilities”), which are callable by the bank at any time and have no covenants. The interest rate for the Uncommitted Facilities is 0.9% to 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 2014, total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $638.8 million. Of the total outstanding balance, $577.5 million of the term loan is classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The funds available under the 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on November 21, 2017, 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 0.15% to 0.35% 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 on September 29, 2017, with the remaining outstanding balance being due and payable at maturity on November 21, 2017. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan facility totaling $8.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2014, $70.0 million in fiscal 2015, $70.0 million in fiscal 2016, and the remaining balance of $490.0 million in fiscal 2017. 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 2012 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 0.00% and 1.00%, 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, or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.00% and 2.00%, 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 2012 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The 2012 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by the Company, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2012 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 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.00 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 2012 Credit Facility) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not greater than 3 to 1; provided, that on

14

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 covenants as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

The 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.

The weighted average interest rate on the current portion of the long-term debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility and Uncommitted Facilities was 1.41% and 1.31% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively. The interest rate on the non-current debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility was 1.41% and 1.67% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively.

Promissory Notes and Other Debt

As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, the Company had promissory notes and other debt totaling approximately $8.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Leases and Other Commitments

The estimated future minimum operating lease commitments as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

2014 (Remaining)	$	8,620
2015	29,129
2016	20,891
2017	16,420
2018	11,107
Thereafter	33,247
Total	$	119,414

As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $127.2 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.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. 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

15

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) The money market funds are highly liquid investments. 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 represent forward currency exchange contracts. The Company typically enters into these contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rates on certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables. The Company does not account for these contracts as hedges and changes in the fair value of the instruments is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement in the period those changes occur. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in Other current assets and Other current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(4) Contingent consideration liabilities represent arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies the Company acquired. The undiscounted maximum payment under the arrangements is $13.3 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, based on estimated future revenues or other milestones based on quantities sold. Contingent consideration liabilities are included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Additional Fair Value Information

The following table provides additional fair value information relating to the Company’s financial instruments outstanding:

	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
As of	Third Quarter of Fiscal 2014				Fiscal Year End 2013
(Dollars in thousands)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	139,477	$	139,477	$	147,227	$	147,227

Promissory notes and other debt	7,989		7,989		8,458		8,458

16

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, and is categorized as Level I in the fair value hierarchy. 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, and is categorized as Level II in the fair value hierarchy. 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 2014 are as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)
Balance as of fiscal year end 2013	$	17,781
Acquired warranties	18
Accruals for warranties issued	17,907

Balance as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014	$	20,422

NOTE 11. INCOME PER SHARE

Basic income per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and unvested restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted income per share:

17

	Third Quarter of				First Three Quarters of
	2014		2013		2014		2013
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Numerator:
Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd.	$	11,832	$	54,469	$	158,290	$	158,858
Denominator:
Weighted average number of common shares used in basic income per share	260,329		257,037		260,398		256,135
Effect of dilutive securities	4,090		4,100		4,655		4,529
Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares used in diluted income per share	264,419		261,137		265,053		260,664
Basic income per share	$	0.05	$	0.21	$	0.61	$	0.62
Diluted income per share	$	0.04	$	0.21	$	0.60	$	0.61

For the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company excluded 1.7 million and 3.5 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted income per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company excluded 0.5 million and 3.0 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted income per share.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company’s effective income tax rate was a tax benefit of 66% as compared to a tax expense of 14% in the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc., slightly offset by differences in the geographic mix of pretax income and the expiration of the federal R&D credit.  In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 19% as compared to 15% in the corresponding period in 2013 due to the difference in the geographic mix of pretax income, the tax effect of a gain on a partial equity sale of VSS, and the expiration of the federal R&D credit, largely offset by the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc.

Historically, the Company's effective tax rate has been lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions. The Company has not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings due to the indefinite reinvestment of some of those earnings outside the U.S.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state, and foreign income tax. The Company is currently in different stages of multiple year examinations by the Internal Revenue Service as well as various state and foreign taxing authorities. Although timing of the resolution of audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 will materially change in the next twelve months.

The unrecognized tax benefits of $44.5 million and $38.1 million as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, 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 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, of $4.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 13. LITIGATION

On August 9, 2013, the Harbinger Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Deere & Co., Garmin International, Inc., the Company and two other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan in connection with the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs allege, among other things, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, claiming that the defendants were aware of material facts that caused the Federal Communications Commission to take adverse action against LightSquared and affirmatively misrepresented and failed to disclose those facts prior to the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs seek $1.9 billion in damages from the defendants. On November 1, 2013, debtor LightSquared, Inc. and two related parties (“LightSquared Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the same defendants in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The LightSquared Plaintiffs assert claims similar to those made by the Harbinger Plaintiffs, as well as additional claims, including

18

breach of contract and tortious interference, and allege that LightSquared invested billions of dollars in reliance on the promises and representations of defendants. On January 31, 2014, the U.S. District Court granted defendants’ motion to withdraw the LightSquared action from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court so it will proceed together with the Harbinger action before the U.S. District Court. Although an unfavorable outcome of these litigation matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results, liquidity, or financial position, the Company believes the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously contest these lawsuits.

On September 2, 2011, Recreational Data Services, Inc. filed an action against the Company alleging misrepresentation and breach of contract arising from an unsuccessful business venture of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. The Company believed this suit lacked any basis in law or fact and attempted to have the case dismissed on legal grounds prior to trial. These efforts were not successful and the case was tried in front of a jury in Alaska beginning on September 9, 2014. On September 26, 2014, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff damages of $51.3 million. The Company believes that the jury's verdict is unsupported and intends to vigorously pursue all available avenues to have the verdict overturned. Since a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff was rendered, the Company determined it had a probable and estimable loss for which the Company recorded an expense within the financial statements. This expense is included within General and administrative expense and is classified as a current liability as the timing of the payment is uncertain. If the verdict is overturned either as a result of post-trial motions or through the appeals process, the expense and related liability will be reversed in the period this occurs.

From time to time, the Company is also involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no other material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of the Company's or its subsidiaries' property is subject.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In the fourth quarter through November 7, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 1,152,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $28.45 per share pursuant to its existing stock repurchase program (the “2014 Stock Repurchase Program”). The total purchase price of $32.8 million will be reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average stated value per share with the remainder to retained earnings. As of November 7, 2014, the 2014 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $250.0 million.

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 assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact us in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting polices during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 from those disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that generally requires the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. We adopted this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The implementation had no material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014; however, early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. We will adopt the amendments beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. We do not anticipate a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of this change.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will amend the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. We are unable to determine at this time whether adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

Trimble's focus is on integrating its broad technological and application capabilities to create system-level solutions that transform how work is done within the industries we serve, enhancing productivity, accuracy, safety and regulatory compliance for our customers. The majority of our markets are end-user markets, including engineering and construction firms, surveyors, farmers, governmental organizations, energy and utility companies and organizations that must manage fleets of mobile workers and assets. We also provide components to original equipment manufacturers to incorporate into their products. In the end-user markets, we provide stand-alone systems which may consist of software, hardware or some combination of the two, as well as integrated enterprise or workflow solutions which address the entire work process. We manage our operations in the following four segments: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Mobile Solutions, and Advanced Devices.

20

Solutions targeted at the end-user make up a significant majority of our revenue. With the exception of our Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices segments, our products are primarily sold through dealer channels, and it is crucial that we maintain proficient, global, third-party distribution channels.

Some of the more significant developments in our business during the quarter included:

Engineering and Construction Segment

We acquired Gehry Technologies, which provides design and project management solutions, consulting services, and project collaboration software tools to enable designers, builders and operators to collaborate more efficiently.

We announced our new BuildingPoint global network of distribution partners focused on the building construction industry. We established BuildingPoint distributors in Illinois, Texas and Switzerland.

Field Solutions Segment

Within the agriculture market, we introduced Trimble OnSwath technology as part of the Autopilot™ automated steering system. Using OnSwath, the farmer can decrease idle driving time, fuel consumption, soil compaction, crop damage and working time in the field. We demonstrated our NextSwath technology, which enables any farm machine to calculate the best possible path to turn around and approach the next crop row or swath. The technology provides improved turning efficiency and repeatability, saving time and fuel costs.

We released the new RainWave® Contour Map precipitation monitoring solution that maps precise rainfall amounts within an entire field or farm. Part of Trimble's Connected Farm™ Web-based management solution, this new functionality enables the farmer or trusted advisor to make better management decisions for irrigation planning, resource deployment and timing of applications for nutrient and pest management. We also launched Connected Farm Field, a field data management tool for the farmer; and Connected Farm Advisor, a field data management tool for the farmer's trusted advisor. The two applications make it easier to collect and manage data and easily collaborate through Connected Farm.

We also introduced a new version of Trimble Connect cloud-based, Geographic Information System (GIS)-centric software for smart water infrastructure mapping and work management software. The release includes applications to enable water, wastewater and storm water utilities to visualize and efficiently manage their network maintenance and data collection activities.

Mobile Solutions Segment

We entered into a strategic alliance with 3Gtms, Inc., a privately-held provider of transportation management systems (TMS). The alliance includes an equity investment in 3Gtms by Trimble and a commercial reseller agreement with TMW Systems.

Advanced Devices Segment

In our Advanced Devices segment, we announced a global distribution agreement with Digi-Key Corporation to offer the ThingMagic embedded UHF RFID modules.

21

We also introduced the new Pacific Crest® XDL Rover 2, an advanced, high-speed, wireless data link built to withstand the rigors of GNSS/RTK surveying and precise positioning. The XDL Rover 2 is equipped with Bluetooth® wireless communication for ease in configuration and operation. It can be quickly configured with an Android device in the field and UHF data can be transmitted via Bluetooth to a paired host device for operational efficiency.

However, as a result of diversification of our business into software and subscription revenue, we may experience less seasonality in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following table is a summary of revenue, gross margin and operating income for the periods indicated and should be read in conjunction with the narrative descriptions below.

	Third Quarter of						First Three Quarters of
	2014			2013			2014			2013
(Dollars in thousands)
Revenue:
Product	$	415,490		$	401,565		$	1,327,054		$	1,240,232

Revenue

In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, total revenue increased by $28.3 million or 5%, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Of this increase, product revenue increased $13.9 million or 3%, service revenue increased $12.8 million or 15%, and subscription revenue increased $1.5 million or 2%. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, total revenue increased by $142.8 million or 8%, as compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. Of this increase, product revenue increased $86.8 million or 7%, service revenue increased $40.1 million or 16%, and subscription revenue increased $15.9 million or 8%.

For the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, product revenue growth was driven primarily by growth across Engineering and Construction, partially offset by a decrease in Field Solutions product revenue primarily due to softness in agriculture markets. Service revenue was primarily driven by growth in Engineering and Construction and Mobile Solutions software maintenance fees. Subscription revenue was driven by growth in Mobile Solutions subscription services, partially offset by Virtual Site Solutions which was included in subscription revenue in the prior year. However, in fiscal 2014 Virtual Site Solutions became a joint venture, accounted for as an equity method investment. Revenue growth was primarily organic growth and to a lesser extent, the impact of the acquisitions which were not applicable in the prior period. We consider organic growth to include all revenue except for revenue associated with acquisitions made within the last four quarters.

On a segment basis, Engineering and Construction revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $31.7 million or 10% and Mobile Solutions increased $7.6 million or 7%, partially offset by a decrease in Field Solutions of $10.7 million or 11% and Advanced Devices of $0.3 million or 1%, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Engineering and Construction revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 increased $128.7 million or 14%, Mobile Solutions increased $23.4 million or 7%, Advanced Devices increased $12.1 million or 13%, partially offset by decrease in Field Solutions of $21.4 million or 6%, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013.

For the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, revenue growth within Engineering and Construction was driven by growth due to continued market penetration and continued improvement in the U.S for construction and geospatial products. Mobile Solutions increased due to growth in the transportation and logistics market. Advanced Devices revenue increased primarily due to stronger sales of embedded and timing component products. Field Solutions revenue decreased primarily due to softness in agricultural markets.

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 $21.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and increased by $113.9 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013, primarily due to increased revenue in Engineering and Construction and to a lesser extent, Mobile Solutions. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was 54.2%, as compared to 53.0% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, and was 54.5% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to 52.4% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales of higher margin products, primarily software, maintenance, and subscription revenue, primarily due to organic growth, particularly in Engineering and Construction and in Mobile Solutions.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased by $51.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, and decreased by $0.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 1.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to 11.3% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, and was 10.0% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to 10.9% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013.

The decrease in operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to a $51.3 million litigation reserve and the impact of acquisitions. The operating income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 was relatively flat, due to increased revenue and gross margin expansion, offset by a $51.3 million litigation reserve. The decrease in operating income percentages for both periods was primarily also due to the litigation reserve, partially offset by gross margin improvements due to higher margin software, maintenance, and subscription revenue, particularly in Engineering and Construction.

Results by Segment

To achieve distribution, marketing, production and technology advantages in our targeted markets, we manage our operations in the following four segments: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices. Operating income equals net revenue less cost of sales and operating expense, excluding general corporate expense, amortization of purchased

24

intangible assets, amortization of inventory step-up charges, acquisition costs and restructuring costs. Operating leverage is defined as an increase in operating income as a percentage of the increase in revenue.

The following table is a summary of revenue and operating income by segment:

Unallocated corporate expense includes general corporate expense, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, restructuring costs and litigation reserves of $52.0 million, of which $51.3 million relates to Recreational Data Services, Inc. as discussed further in legal proceedings.

Engineering and Construction

Engineering and Construction revenue increased by $31.7 million or 10% and $128.7 million or 14% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Segment operating income decreased by $2.9 million or 4% for the third quarter, and increased by $36.7 million or 20% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.

25

Revenue growth for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 was driven primarily by continued organic growth due to global sales of construction and geospatial products, particularly in the U.S. The U.S. markets continued to improve, however, European markets demonstrated some slowness in growth. Increased market penetration contributed to growth due to continuing adoption of our products, particularly in the construction industry as technology is playing a broader role in increasing productivity and reducing costs. Our newer product solutions integrate both hardware and software technologies across an entire work flow. Segment operating income decreased for the third quarter primarily due to the impact of third quarter acquisitions. Segment operating income increased for the first three quarters primarily due to higher revenue and product mix, including higher software, maintenance and subscription revenue, partially offset by the impact of third quarter acquisitions.

Field Solutions

Field Solutions revenue decreased by $10.7 million or 11% and $21.4 million or 6% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Segment operating income decreased by $6.2 million or 20% and $17.5 million or 13% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.

Field Solution revenue decreased for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, primarily due to softness in agriculture markets where the market environment grew significantly more difficult in the quarter. On a macroeconomic level, commodity prices and farmer income are both down. Large cutbacks coming from elements of our distribution and OEM customers contributed to the sales slowdown in North America, South America and Europe. To the extent this trend continues, our results of operations will be further impacted. The agriculture decrease was partially offset by an increase in Geographic Information System (GIS) sales. 

Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions revenue increased by $7.6 million or 7% and $23.4 million or 7% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Segment operating income increased by $2.9 million or 19% and $12.5 million or 30% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.

Mobile Solutions revenue increased for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, primarily due to continued organic growth in the transportation and logistics market, which focuses on enterprise solutions. The majority of the sales are in the U.S., however there is continuing focus on geographic expansion. Operating income increased due to increased revenue and product mix, including higher software, maintenance and subscription revenue.

Advanced Devices

Advanced Devices revenue decreased by $0.3 million or 1% for the third quarter, and increased by $12.1 million or 13% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Segment operating income increased by $0.7 million or 8% and $11.4 million or 53% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.

The flat revenue and operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to decreased sales of inertial/GNSS positioning and orientation systems, offset by increased sales of timing components. The increase in revenue and operating income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 was due to increased sales of timing, inertial/GNSS positioning and orientation systems, and military specific products.

Research and Development, Sales and Marketing and General and Administrative Expense

Research and development (R&D), sales and marketing (S&M) and general and administrative (G&A) expense are summarized in the following table:

	Third Quarter of						First Three Quarters of
	2014			2013			2014			2013
(Dollars in thousands)
Research and development	$	78,954		$	71,622		$	237,137		$	221,785
Percentage of revenue	14		%	13		%	13		%	13		%
Sales and marketing	$	95,843		$	85,507		$	288,818		$	254,437
Percentage of revenue	16		%	15		%	16		%	15		%
General and administrative	$	111,399		$	53,648		$	230,196		$	158,378
Percentage of revenue	19		%	10		%	13		%	10		%
Total	$	286,196		$	210,777		$	756,151		$	634,600
Percentage of revenue	49		%	38		%	41		%	38		%

Overall, R&D, S&M and G&A expense increased by approximately $75.4 million and $121.6 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.

Research and development expense increased by $7.3 million and $15.4 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Research and development spending overall was at approximately 14% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and was approximately 13% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013. The cost of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility was not material and was expensed as incurred.

The increase in R&D expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, the inclusion of $3.5 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period and a $3.0 million increase in other expense.

The increase in R&D expense in the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, the inclusion of $8.4 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period and a $4.6 million increase in other expense.

* 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 $10.3 million and $34.4 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013. Sales and marketing spending overall was at approximately 16% of revenue in both the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and was approximately 15% of revenue in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013.

The increase in Sales and marketing expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, the inclusion $3.6 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $1.2 million increase in travel/marketing cost primarily due to global dealer meetings and trade shows and a $2.5 million increase in other expense.

The increase in Sales and marketing expense in the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $13.1 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, the inclusion of $8.1 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period, a $6.5 million increase in travel/marketing cost primarily due to global dealer meetings and trade shows, a $1.2 million increase due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates and a $5.5 million increase in other expense.

* 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 $57.8 million and $71.8 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013. General and administrative spending overall was at approximately 19% and 13% of revenue in the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to 10% in both the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013.

27

The increase in G&A expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $51.3 million litigation reserve, the inclusion of $3.2 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $1.2 million increase in acquisition costs, a $1.1 million increase in bad debt expense and a $1.0 million increase in other expense.

The increase in G&A expenses in the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $51.3 million litigation reserve, the inclusion of $6.7 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $4.9 million increase in compensation related expense, a $2.0 million increase in bad debt expense, a $3.4 million increase in telecommunication expense and a $5.7 million increase in other expense, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in acquisition costs.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets

Amortization of purchased intangible assets was $39.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to $41.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Of the total $39.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, $19.3 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense and $20.1 million is presented as a separate line within Cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The decrease was due to the expiration of amortization for prior acquisitions, partially offset by acquisitions not included in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, future amortization of intangible assets is expected to be $39.3 million during the remaining quarter of fiscal 2014, $150.3 million during 2015, $131.6 million during 2016, $110.0 million during 2017, $79.6 million during 2018 and $61.2 million thereafter.

Non-operating Income (Loss), Net

The components of non-operating income (loss), net, were as follows:

	Third Quarter of						First Three Quarters of
	2014			2013			2014			2013
(Dollars in thousands)
Interest expense, net	$	(2,975	)	$	(4,122	)	$	(9,822	)	$	(13,448	)
Foreign currency transaction loss	(3,200		)	(157		)	(3,809		)	(1,126		)
Income from equity method investments, net	2,840			4,494			11,528			15,908
Other income (loss), net	(599		)	268			12,567			847
Total non-operating income (loss), net	$	(3,934	)	$	483		$	10,464		$	2,181

Non-operating income (loss), net decreased$4.4 million for the third quarter and increased$8.3 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. The decrease for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency transaction fluctuations and a decrease in profitability from joint ventures, partially offset by lower interest expense. The increase for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to a gain on a partial equity sale of Virtual Site Solutions (included in Other income (loss), net) and lower interest expense, partially offset by lower profitability from joint ventures and the impact of foreign currency transaction fluctuations.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was a tax benefit of 66%, as compared to a tax expense of 14% in the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc., slightly offset by differences in the geographic mix of pretax income and the expiration of the federal R&D credit.  In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, our effective income tax rate was 19% as compared to 15% in the corresponding period in 2013 due to the difference in the geographic mix of pretax income, the tax effect of a gain on a partial equity sale of VSS, and the expiration of the federal R&D credit, largely offset by the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc.

Historically, our effective tax rate has been lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions. We have not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings due to the indefinite reinvestment of some of those earnings outside the U.S.

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

28

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 our 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 2014 and fiscal year end 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $139.5 million as compared to $147.2 million as of fiscal year end 2013. Debt was $646.7 million as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to $758.5 million as of fiscal year end 2013.

* Our ability to continue to generate cash from operations will depend in large part on profitability, the rate of collections of accounts receivable, our inventory turns and our ability to manage other areas of working capital.

* We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with borrowings under our 2012 Credit Facility as described below under the heading “Debt”, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs, debt service, planned capital expenditures, and stock purchases under the stock repurchase program for at least the next twelve months.

* We anticipate that planned capital expenditures primarily for an upgrade of our Oracle ERP system, as well as computer equipment, software, manufacturing tools and test equipment and leasehold improvements associated with business expansion, will constitute a partial use of our cash resources. Decisions related to how much cash is used for investing are influenced by the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $310.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to $278.4 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The increase of $32.1 million was primarily driven by an increase in net income before non-cash depreciation and amortization and changes in accounts receivable and other liabilities, offset by changes in inventories and accounts payable.

Investing Activities

29

Cash used in investing activities was $202.4 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to $256.4 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The decrease of $54.0 million was due to lower cash requirements for business acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $108.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to $62.4 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The increase of cash used in financing activities of $46.1 million was primarily due to cash used for stock repurchases.

Accounts Receivable and Inventory Metrics

	Third Quarter of	Fiscal Year End
As of	2014	2013
Accounts receivable days sales outstanding	56	55
Inventory turns per year	4.1	4.1

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 56 days as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to 55 days as of the end of fiscal 2013. The increase in DSO was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions within the quarter. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding are calculated based on ending accounts receivable, net, divided by revenue for the corresponding fiscal quarter, times a quarterly average of 91 days. Our inventory turns were both 4.1 as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and the end of fiscal 2013. Our inventory turnover is calculated based on total cost of sales for the most recent twelve months divided by average ending inventory, net, for this same twelve month period.

Repatriation of Foreign Earnings and Income Taxes

As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, $122.9 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries.  If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would not be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate the funds due to intercompany financing arrangements with our foreign subsidiaries.  While a significant portion of our foreign earnings continue to be permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries, it is anticipated this reinvestment will not impede cash needs at the parent company level. In our determination of which foreign earnings are permanently reinvested, we consider numerous factors, including the financial requirements of the U.S. parent company, the financial requirements of the foreign subsidiaries, and the tax consequences of remitting the foreign earnings back to the U.S. There are no other material impediments to our ability to access sources of liquidity and our resulting ability to meet short and long-term liquidity needs, other than in the event we are not in compliance with the covenants under our 2012 Credit Facility or the potential tax costs of remitting foreign earnings back to the U.S.

Credit Facilities

On November 21, 2012, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “2012 Credit Facility”). This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $700.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2012 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility may be increased by $300.0 million in the aggregate. We also have two $75 million uncommitted revolving loan facilities (the “Uncommitted Facilities”), which are callable by the bank at any time and have no covenants. The interest rate for the Uncommitted Facilities is 0.9% to 1.00% plus either LIBOR or the bank’s cost of funds or as otherwise agreed upon by the bank and us.

As of the third quarter of 2014, our total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $638.8 million. Of the total outstanding balance, $577.5 million of the term loan is classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The funds available under the 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, we may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on November 21, 2017, 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 0.15% to 0.35% per annum depending on our 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 on September 29, 2017, with the remaining outstanding balance being due and payable at maturity on November 21, 2017. We are required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan facility totaling $8.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2014, $70.0 million in fiscal 2015, $70.0 million in fiscal 2016, and the remaining balance of $490.0 million in fiscal 2017. The term loan may be prepaid in whole

30

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.

We may borrow funds under the 2012 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars, Euros or in certain other agreed currencies, and borrowings will bear interest, at our 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 0.00% and 1.00%, depending on our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted fixed per annum rate based on LIBOR, EURIBOR, or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.00% and 2.00%, depending on our 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. Our obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of our domestic subsidiaries.

The 2012 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by us, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2012 Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict our ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions and make investments. Further, the 2012 Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require the maintenance of minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. Specifically, we must maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of (a) EBITDA (as defined in the 2012 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3 to 1. We must also maintain, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of (x) total indebtedness to (y) EBITDA (as defined in the 2012 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, we may increase the applicable ratio in the table below by 0.25 for the fiscal quarter during which such acquisition occurred and each of the three subsequent fiscal quarters.

We were in compliance with these covenants as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

The 2012 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 our obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.

The weighted average interest rate on the current portion of our long-term debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility and Uncommitted Facilities was 1.41% and 1.31% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively. The interest rate on our non-current debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility was 1.41% and 1.67% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the tables below as well as detailed explanations to the adjustments to comparable GAAP measures, are set forth below:

Non-GAAP gross margin

We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP gross margin as a way of understanding how product mix, pricing decisions and manufacturing costs influence our business. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up from GAAP gross margin. We believe that these exclusions offer investors additional information that may be useful to view trends in our gross margin performance.

Non-GAAP operating expenses

We believe this measure is important to investors evaluating our non-GAAP spending in relation to revenue. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and acquisition/divestiture costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence, integration costs and litigation expenses from GAAP operating expenses. We believe that these exclusions offer investors supplemental information to facilitate comparison of our operating expenses to our prior results.

Non-GAAP operating income

31

We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP operating income trends which are driven by revenue, gross margin, and spending. Non-GAAP operating income excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition/divestiture costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence, integration costs and litigation expenses. We believe that these exclusions offer an alternative means for our investors to evaluate current operating performance compared to results of other periods.

Non-GAAP non-operating income, net

We believe this measure helps investors evaluate our non-operating income trends. Non-GAAP non-operating income, net excludes acquisition and divestiture gains/losses associated with unusual acquisition related items such as adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities, intangible assets impairment charges and gains or losses related to the acquisition or sale of certain businesses and investments, and a gain on an equity sale. These gains/losses are specific to particular acquisitions and divestitures and vary significantly in amount and timing. We believe that these exclusions provide investors with a supplemental view of our ongoing financial results.

Non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit)

Investors benefit from the exclusion of the tax impact on an equity sale and on the $51.3 million reserved for the RDS litigation because it facilitates comparisons to our past income tax provision. Non-GAAP items tax effected adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of certain non-GAAP items on non-GAAP net income. We believe this information is useful to investors because it provides for consistent treatment of the excluded items in our non-GAAP presentation.

Non-GAAP net income

This measure provides a supplemental view of net income trends which are driven by non-GAAP income before taxes and our non-GAAP tax rate. Non-GAAP net income excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a gain on an equity sale, litigation expenses and non-GAAP tax adjustments from GAAP net income. We believe our investors benefit from understanding these exclusions and from an alternative view of our net income performance as compared to our past net income performance.

Non-GAAP diluted net income per share

We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP operating performance as reflected in a per share calculation as a way of measuring non-GAAP operating performance by ownership in the company. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a gain on an equity sale, litigation expenses and non-GAAP tax adjustments from GAAP diluted net income per share. We believe that these exclusions offer investors a useful view of our diluted net income per share as compared to our past diluted net income per share.

Non-GAAP operating leverage

We believe this information is beneficial to investors as a measure of how much incremental revenue is contributed to our operating income. Non-GAAP operating leverage is the increase in non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of the increase in revenue. We believe that this information offers investors supplemental information to evaluate our current performance and to compare to our past non-GAAP operating leverage.

Non-GAAP segment operating income

Non-GAAP segment operating income excludes stock-based compensation from GAAP segment operating income. We believe this information is useful to investors because some may exclude stock-based compensation as an alternative view when assessing trends in the operating income of our segments.

These non-GAAP measures can be used to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance, as well as our performance relative to competitors. We believe some of our investors track our "core operating performance" as a means of evaluating our performance in the ordinary, ongoing, and customary course of our operations. Core operating performance excludes items that are non-cash, not expected to recur or not reflective of ongoing financial results. Management also believes that looking at our core operating performance provides a supplemental way to provide consistency in period to period comparisons. Accordingly, management excludes from non-GAAP those items relating to restructuring, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a gain on an equity sale, litigation expenses and non-GAAP tax adjustments. For detailed explanations of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, see items (A) - ( L ) following the tables below.

A. Restructuring costs. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and operating expenses, restructuring costs recorded are primarily for employee compensation resulting from reductions in employee headcount in connection with our company restructurings. We exclude restructuring costs from our non-GAAP measures because we believe they do not reflect expected future operating expenses, they are not indicative of our core operating performance, and they are not meaningful in comparisons to our past operating performance. We have incurred restructuring expense in each of the periods presented however the amount incurred can vary significantly based on whether a restructuring has occurred in the period and the timing of headcount reductions.

B. Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Included in our GAAP presentation of gross margin and operating expenses is amortization of purchased intangible assets. US GAAP accounting requires that intangible assets are recorded at fair value and amortized over their useful lives. Consequently, the timing and size of our acquisitions will cause our operating results to vary from period to period, making a comparison to past performance difficult for investors. This accounting treatment may cause differences when comparing our results to companies that grow internally because the fair value

35

assigned to the intangible assets acquired through acquisition may significantly exceed the equivalent expenses that a company may incur for similar efforts when performed internally. Furthermore, the useful life that we expense our intangible assets over may be substantially different from the time period that an internal growth company incurs and recognizes such expenses. We believe that by excluding the amortization of purchased intangible assets, which primarily represents technology and/or customer relationships already developed, it provides an alternative way for investors to compare our operations pre-acquisition to those post-acquisition and to those of our competitors that have pursued internal growth strategies. However, we note that companies that grow internally will incur costs to develop intangible assets that will be expensed in the period incurred, which may make a direct comparison more difficult.

C. Stock-based compensation. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and operating expenses, stock-based compensation consists of expenses for employee stock options and awards and purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP measures because some investors may view it as not reflective of our core operating performance as it is a non-cash expense. For the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:

	Third Quarter of				First Three Quarters of
(Dollars in thousands)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Cost of sales	$	776	$	609	$	2,286	$	1,816
Research and development	1,600		1,265		4,815		3,644
Sales and Marketing	2,062		1,816		6,022		5,341
General and administrative	6,600		5,215		19,002		15,357
	$	11,038	$	8,905	$	32,125	$	26,158

D. Amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up. The purchase accounting entries associated with our business acquisitions require us to record inventory at its fair value, which is sometimes greater than the previous book value of the inventory. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales, the increase in inventory value is amortized to cost of sales over the period that the related product is sold. We exclude inventory step-up amortization from our non-GAAP measures because it is a non-cash expense that we do not believe is indicative of our ongoing operating results. We further believe that excluding this item from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.

E. Acquisition / divestiture items. Included in our GAAP presentation of operating expenses, acquisition costs consist of external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence, and integration costs. Included in our GAAP presentation of non-operating income (loss), net, acquisition / divestiture items includes unusual acquisition, investment, or divestiture gains/losses such as adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities, and gains/losses on acquisitions or divestitures of certain businesses and investments. Although we do numerous acquisitions, the costs that have been excluded from the non-GAAP measures are costs specific to particular acquisitions. These are one-time costs that vary significantly in amount and timing and are not indicative of our core operating performance.

F. Gain on an equity sale. Included in our GAAP presentation of non-operating income, net this amount represents a gain on a partial equity sale of Virtual Site Solutions. We excluded the gain from our non-GAAP measures. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our non-GAAP measures because it facilitates an evaluation of our non-operating income trends.

G. Litigation. In the third quarter of 2013 this amount represents a settlement of litigation related to a pre-acquisition agreement with a contract manufacturer. In the third quarter of 2014 this amount includes $51.3M of estimated costs based on a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. against the Company as well as $0.7M of costs based on an arbitration agreement. We have excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they are non-recurring expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operating results. We further believe that excluding these items from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.

H. Non-GAAP items tax effected. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items ( A ) - ( E ) on non-GAAP net income. We believe this information is useful to investors because it provides for consistent treatment of the excluded items in this non-GAAP presentation.

36

I. Tax on gain on an equity sale. This amount represents the tax effect of a gain on a partial equity sale of Virtual Site Solutions. We excluded this item as it represents the tax effect of a non-recurring gain. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our non-GAAP income tax provision because it facilitates a comparison of the non-GAAP tax rate in the current period to the non-GAAP tax rates in prior periods.

J. Tax on Recreational Data Services Inc. litigation. This amount represents the tax effect of a loss recorded as a result of a jury verdict in favor of Recreational Data Services, Inc. We excluded this item as it represents the tax effect of a non-recurring expense. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our non-GAAP income tax provision because it allows for period-over-period comparability.

K. GAAP and non-GAAP tax rate %. These percentages are defined as GAAP income tax provision as a percentage of GAAP income before taxes and non-GAAP income tax provision as a percentage of non-GAAP income before taxes. We believe that investors benefit from a presentation of non-GAAP tax rate percentage as a way of facilitating a comparison to non-GAAP tax rates in prior periods.

L. Stock-based compensation. The amounts consist of expenses for employee stock options and awards and purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan. As referred to above we exclude stock-based compensation here because investors may view it as not reflective of our core operating performance as it is a non-cash expense. However, management does include stock-based compensation for budgeting and incentive plans as well as for reviewing internal financial reporting. We discuss our operating results by segment with and without stock-based compensation expense, as we believe it is useful to investors. Stock-based compensation not allocated to the reportable segments was approximately $4.7 million and $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $13.2 million and $9.8 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Non-GAAP Operating Income

Non-GAAP operating income increased by $0.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 20.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to 21.2% for the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income increased by $46.8 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 21.6% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to 20.7% for the corresponding period in the prior year. The Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was relatively flat, due to higher revenue and gross margin expansion due to higher margin software, maintenance and subscription revenue, which was largely offset by an increase in operating expense, primarily associated with acquisitions. The increase in Non-GAAP operating income for the first three quarters was primarily driven by higher revenue and gross margin expansion due to higher margin software, maintenance, and subscription revenue, partially offset by an increase in operating expense, primarily associated with acquisitions. The decrease in Non-GAAP operating income percentage for the third quarter was due to higher operating expense, primarily associated with acquisitions, partially offset by gross margin expansion due to higher margin software, maintenance, and subscription revenue. The increase in Non-GAAP operating income percentage for the first three quarters was primarily due to gross margin expansion due to higher margin software, maintenance, and subscription revenue, partially offset by higher operating expense, primarily associated with acquisitions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use certain derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All financial instruments are used in accordance with policies approved by our Board of Directors.

Market Interest Rate Risk

There have been no significant changes to our market interest rate risk assessment. Refer to our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K on page 52.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We operate in international markets, which expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and various foreign currencies, the most significant of which is the Euro.

Historically, the majority of our revenue contracts are denominated in U.S. Dollars, with the most significant exception being Europe, where we invoice primarily in Euros. Additionally, a portion of our expenses, primarily the cost to manufacture, cost of personnel to deliver technical support on our products and professional services, sales and sales support and research and development, are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, Swedish Krona, New Zealand Dollar and Canadian Dollar.

37

Revenue resulting from selling in local currencies and costs incurred in local currencies are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which can affect our operating income. As exchange rates vary, operating income may differ from expectations. In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, revenue and operating income was negatively impacted by foreign currency exchange rates by $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, revenue and operating income was positively impacted by foreign currency exchange rates by $7.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash and certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Australian, Canadian, Singapore and New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Indian Rupee, Brazilian Real, South African Rand, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc, Euro and British pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate movements as the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances are generally offset with the gains and losses on the forward contracts. These instruments are marked to market through earnings every period and generally range from one to three months in original maturity. We do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for trading purposes. We occasionally enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the purchase price of some of our larger business acquisitions. Foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	Third Quarter of Fiscal 2014						Fiscal Year End 2013
	Nominal Amount			Fair Value			Nominal Amount			Fair Value
Forward contracts:
Purchased	$	(68,089	)	$	(1,245	)	$	(41,850	)	$	(165	)
Sold	$	154,372		$	2,098		$	136,952		$	(274	)

* We do not anticipate any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position utilizing our current hedging strategy.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 9, 2013, Harbinger Capital Partners, LLC and additional plaintiffs (“Harbinger Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit against Deere & Co., Garmin International, Inc., the Company and two other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan in connection with the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs allege, among other things, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, claiming that the defendants were aware of material facts that caused the Federal Communications Commission to take adverse action against LightSquared and affirmatively misrepresented and failed to disclose those facts prior to the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs seek $1.9 billion in damages from the defendants. On November 1, 2013, debtor LightSquared, Inc. and two related parties (“LightSquared Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the same defendants in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The LightSquared Plaintiffs assert claims similar to those made by the Harbinger Plaintiffs, as well as additional claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference, and allege that LightSquared invested billions of dollars in reliance on the promises and representations of defendants. On January 31, 2014, the U.S. District Court granted defendants’ motion to withdraw the LightSquared action from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court so it will proceed together with the Harbinger action before the U.S. District Court. Although an unfavorable outcome of these litigation matters may have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity, or financial position, we believe the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously contest these lawsuits.

38

On September 2, 2011, Recreational Data Services, Inc. filed an action against us alleging misrepresentation and breach of contract arising from an unsuccessful business venture of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. We believed this suit lacked any basis in law or fact and attempted to have the case dismissed on legal grounds prior to trial. These efforts were not successful and the case was tried in front of a jury in Alaska beginning on September 9, 2014. On September 26, 2014, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff damages of $51.3 million. We believe that the jury's verdict is unsupported and intend to vigorously pursue all available avenues to have the verdict overturned. Since a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff was rendered, we determined we had a probable and estimable loss for which we recorded an expense within the financial statements. This expense is included within General and administrative expenses and is classified as a current liability as the timing of the payment is uncertain. If the verdict is overturned either as a result of post-trial motions or through the appeals process, the expense and related liability will be reversed in the period this occurs.

From time to time, we are also involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no other material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which any of our or our subsidiaries' property is subject.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

A description of factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition, or operating results is included under “Risk and Uncertainties” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference. There have been no material changes to the risk factor disclosure since our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions and/or operating results.

Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this Stock Option Agreement (Officers & Internal Executive Officers – U.S. Version) shall have the same defined meanings as set forth in the Trimble Navigation Limited Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).

I.NOTICE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT

Name (Optionee): ____________________________

You have been granted an Option to purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Stock Option Agreement (Officers & Internal Executive Officers – U.S. Version) (the “Option Agreement”), as follows:

50% of the Shares subject to this Option shall vest two years after the vesting commencement date which has been communicated to you, and 1/48^th of the Shares subject to this Option shall vest each month thereafter on the same day of the month as the vesting commencement date, such that 100% of the Shares subject to this Option shall vest four (4) years from the vesting commencement date, subject to the Optionee continuing to be a Service Provider on such dates, as further described in Part

(Officers)    

II, Paragraph H.12 below. Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s death, this Option shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable with respect to the number of Shares that would have vested had the Optionee continued as a Service Provider for an additional twenty-four (24) month period following the Optionee’s death.

Forfeiture

Except as provided above under the heading "Vesting Schedule," upon the date that the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason, all unvested Options shall be forfeited. The date the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider for purposes of the Option will be the date described in Part II, Paragraph H.12 below.

Post-Termination Exercise Period:

The vested portion of this Option may be exercised for twelve (12) months after the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (including the death or Disability of the Optionee). The date the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider for purposes of this Option will be the date described in Part II, Paragraph H.12 below. Upon the death or Disability of the Optionee, this Option may be exercised for twelve (12) months after the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider. In no event shall any portion of this Option be exercised later than the Term/Expiration Date as provided above.

II.OPTION AGREEMENT

A.Grant of Option.

The Administrator hereby grants to the person named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Notice of Grant”) attached as Part I of this Option Agreement (the “Optionee”) an Option to purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the Exercise Price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference, and this Option Agreement. Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. However, if this Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Section 422(d) of the Code, it shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).

B.Exercise of Option.

1.Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

1.Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by (i) electronic exercise in accordance with an approved automated exercise program or (ii) delivery of an exercise notice, in the

-2-

form designated by the Company from time to time (the “Exercise Notice”), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be completed by the Optionee and delivered to the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of the Exercise Price and the Tax-Related Items (as defined in Paragraph F.1 below).

C.Method of Payment.

Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee and to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws:

1.cash (in U.S. dollars); or

2.check (denominated in U.S. dollars); or

3.consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

4.surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.

D.Non-Transferability of Option.

This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

E.Term of Option.

This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

F.Tax Obligations.

1.    Withholding Taxes. The Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or the Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares

-3-

acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Optionee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

(a)withholding from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer; or

(b)withholding from proceeds of the sale of Exercised Shares acquired upon exercise, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or

(c)withholding in Exercised Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Option.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Optionee will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the Optionee is deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of Exercised Shares, notwithstanding that some Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, the Optionee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, which amount cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

2.    Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to the Optionee herein is an ISO, and if the Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition.

-4-

G.Code Section 409A.

The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan, this Option Agreement or the Notice of Grant or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to ensure that this Option qualifies for exemption from, or complies with the requirements of, Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation that the Option will be exempt from, or will comply with, Section 409A of the Code, and makes no undertakings to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to the Option or to ensure that it complies with Section 409A of the Code.

H.Nature of Option Grant.

In accepting this Option, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

1.the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time,to the extent permitted by the Plan;

2.the grant of this Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future stock options, or benefits in lieu of stock options, even if stock options have been granted in the past;

3.all decisions with respect to future stock option or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

4.this Option grant and the Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate the Optionee’s Service Provider relationship at any time;

5.the Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

6.this Option and the Optioned Stock are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

7.this Option and the Optioned Stock, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

8.the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with any certainty;

9.if the Optioned Stock does not increase in value, this Option will have no value;

-5-

10.if the Optionee exercises this Option and obtains Shares, the value of the Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease, even below the Exercise Price;

11.no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Option resulting from termination of the Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is engaged as a Service Provider or the terms of the Optionee's employment or service agreement, if any) and, in consideration of the grant of this Option to which the Optionee is not otherwise entitled, the Optionee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, the Employer, and any Subsidiary or Affiliate from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then by participating in the Plan, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

12.for purposes of this Option, the Optionee’s relationship as a Service Provider will be considered terminated as of the date the Optionee is no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is engaged as a Service Provider or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or service agreement, if any); unless otherwise expressly provided in this Option Agreement or determined by the Company, (i) the Optionee’s right to vest in this Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the period during which the Optionee is considered a Service Provider would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is engaged as a Service Provider or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or service agreement, if any); and (ii) the period (if any) during which the Optionee may exercise this Option after the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider will commence on the date the Optionee ceases to actively provide services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is engaged as a Service Provider or the terms of the Optionee’s employment or service agreement, if any; the Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of this Option (including whether the Optionee may still be considered to be actively providing services while on a leave of absence); and

13.unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Option Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares.

I.No Advice Regarding Grant.

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own

-6-

personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

J.Data Privacy.

The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Option Agreement and any other Option materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

The Optionee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, without limitation, the Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all stock options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Plan, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Optionee understands that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country. The Optionee authorizes the Company, the Company’s broker and any other third parties which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Further, the Optionee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her status as a Service Provider and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Optionee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Optionee options or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.

K.Electronic Delivery and Participation.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

L.Severability.

-7-

The provisions of this Option Agreement are severable, and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

M.Imposition of Other Requirements.

The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on this Option and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

N.Entire Agreement.

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Optionee.

O.Governing Law; Venue.

This Option and this Option Agreement are governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of California.

For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this Option or this Option Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

P.Compliance with Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shares will be issued to the Optionee upon the exercise of this Option unless the Shares subject to the Option are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or, if such Shares are not so registered, the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Further, no Shares will be issued until completion of any other applicable registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of any applicable governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes, the Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares. By accepting this Option, the Optionee agrees not to sell any

-8-

of the Shares received under this Option at a time when Applicable Laws or Company policies prohibit a sale.

Q.Waiver.

The Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Option Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Option Agreement or of any subsequent breach by the Optionee or any other optionee.

BY THE OPTIONEE’S SIGNATURE AND THE SIGNATURE OF THE COMPANY’S REPRESENTATIVE BELOW OR BY THE OPTIONEE’S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS OPTION THROUGH THE COMPANY’S ONLINE ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURES, THE OPTIONEE AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT THIS OPTION IS GRANTED UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS OPTION AGREEMENT. THE OPTIONEE HAS REVIEWED THE PLAN AND THIS OPTION AGREEMENT IN THEIR ENTIRETY, HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS OPTION AGREEMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTANDS ALL PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN AND OPTION AGREEMENT. THE OPTIONEE HEREBY AGREES TO ACCEPT AS BINDING, CONCLUSIVE AND FINAL ALL DECISIONS OR INTERPRETATIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATOR UPON ANY QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE PLAN AND OPTION AGREEMENT. THE OPTIONEE FURTHER AGREES TO NOTIFY THE COMPANY UPON ANY CHANGE IN THE OPTIONEE’S RESIDENCE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW.

4.surrender of other Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares.

D.Non-Transferability of Option.

This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

E.Term of Option.

This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

F.Tax Obligations.

The Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the ultimate liability for all income tax, social security, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) does not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Optionee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company or its agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by either or both of the following:

-3-

1.withholding from proceeds of the sale of Exercised Shares acquired upon exercise, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or

2.withholding in Exercised Shares to be issued upon exercise of this Option.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Optionee will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the Optionee is deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of Exercised Shares, notwithstanding that some Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

Finally, the Optionee agrees to pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, which amount cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

G.Code Section 409A.

The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan, this Option Agreement or the Notice of Grant or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to ensure that this Option qualifies for exemption from, or complies with the requirements of, Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation that the Option will be exempt from, or will comply with, Section 409A of the Code, and makes no undertakings to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to the Option or to ensure that it complies with Section 409A of the Code.

H.No Advice Regarding Grant.

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Optionee is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

I.Data Privacy.

The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Option Agreement and any other Option materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Company and any Subsidiary

-4-

or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

The Optionee understands that the Company may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, without limitation, the Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all stock options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Plan, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Optionee understands that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country. The Optionee authorizes the Company, the Company’s broker and any other third parties which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Further, the Optionee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her status as a Service Provider will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Optionee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Optionee options or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan.

J.Electronic Delivery and Participation.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

K.Severability.

The provisions of this Option Agreement are severable, and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

L.Imposition of Other Requirements.

The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on this Option and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the

-5-

Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Optionee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

M.Entire Agreement.

The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Optionee.

N.Governing Law; Venue.

This Option and this Option Agreement are governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of California.

For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this Option or this Option Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

O.Compliance with Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shares will be issued to the Optionee upon the exercise of this Option unless the Shares subject to the Option are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act’), or, if such Shares are not so registered, the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Further, no Shares will be issued until completion of any other applicable registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of any applicable governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolutely discretion, deem necessary or advisable. Assuming such compliance for income tax purposes, the Exercised Shares shall be transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares. By accepting this Option, the Optionee agrees not to sell any of the Shares received under this Option at a time when Applicable Laws or Company policies prohibit a sale.

P.Waiver.

-6-

The Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Option Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Option Agreement or of any subsequent breach by the Optionee or any other optionee.

By the Optionee’s signature and the signature of the Company's representative below, the Optionee and the Company agree that this Option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option Agreement in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and Option Agreement. The Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan and Option Agreement.

own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Shares will be issued to the Optionee upon the exercise of this Option unless the Shares subject to the Option are then registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act’), or, if such Shares are not so registered, the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Further, no Shares will be issued until completion of any other applicable registration or qualification of the Shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of any applicable governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable.

Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Optionee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions and that the Optionee is advised to speak to his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

L.Data Privacy.

The Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Option Agreement and any other Option materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

The Optionee understands that the Company and any Subsidiary or Affiliate may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, without limitation, the Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all stock options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

-6-

The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to the Company’s designated broker/third party administrator for the Plan, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Optionee understands that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country.

Further, the Optionee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her status as a Service Provider will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Optionee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Optionee options or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of his or her refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee understands that he or she may contact the Company.

M.Language.

If the Optionee has received this Option Agreement or any other documents related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version differs from the English version, the English version shall control.

N.Electronic Delivery and Participation.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.

APPENDIX TO

TRIMBLE NAVIGATION LIMITED

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 STOCK PLAN

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

(NON-U.S. OPTIONEES)

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Appendix, which is part of the Option Agreement, includes additional or different terms and conditions that govern this Option and that will apply to the Optionee if he or she is in one of the countries listed below. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms set forth in this Appendix shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan or the Option Agreement, as applicable.

If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Date of Grant, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Optionee under these circumstances.

NOTIFICATIONS

This Appendix also includes information regarding securities, exchange control and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of July 2014. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information in this Appendix as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because such information may be outdated when he or she exercise this Option and/or sells any Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation. As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result. The Optionee therefore is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her particular situation.

Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than that in which the Optionee currently is working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency to a different country after the Date of Grant, the information contained herein may not apply in the same manner to him or her.

SWEDEN

There are no country-specific terms and conditions.

GAIN ON EQUITY SALE

GAIN ON EQUITY SALE

In October, 2008, VirtualSite Solutions (VSS), a business formed by the Company and Caterpillar began operations. The Company originally had a 65% ownership and Caterpillar had a 35% ownership in VSS. VSS develops software for fleet management and connected worksite solutions for both Caterpillar and Trimble and in turn, sells software subscription services to Caterpillar and Trimble, which are sold through Caterpillar's and the Company's respective distribution channels. For financial reporting purposes, VSS’s assets and liabilities were consolidated with those of the Company, as were its results of operations, which were reported under the Engineering and Construction segment. Caterpillar’s 35% interest was included in the overall Consolidated Financial Statements as Noncontrolling interest.

Effective January 4, 2014, the Company sold 15% of its ownership in VSS to Caterpillar resulting in both the Company and Caterpillar owning 50% of the VSS joint venture. After the sale the Company no longer held a controlling interest in VSS. The sale of the 15% ownership resulted in the deconsolidation of VSS and a gain in the amount of $15.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Of this amount, $8.5 million relates to the remeasurement of the Company's retained interest to fair value which was measured using a combination of the income and market approaches. The total gain is included in Other income (loss), net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The new 50% investment in VSS is classified as an equity method investment.

Ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA		The 2012 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by the Company, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers.

Further, the 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.00 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 2012 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.

UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 2014 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that generally requires the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Trimble adopted this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The implementation had no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014; however, early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. The Company will adopt the amendments beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of this change.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will amend the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. The Company is unable to determine at this time whether adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Trimble Navigation Limited (Trimble or the Company) began operations in 1978 and incorporated in California in 1981. The Company provides technology solutions that enable professionals and field mobile workers to improve or transform their work processes. The solutions are used across a range of industries including agriculture, architecture, civil engineering, construction, environmental management, government, natural resources, transportation and utilities. Representative customers include engineering and construction firms, contractors, surveying companies, farmers and agricultural companies, enterprise firms with large-scale fleets, energy, mining and utility companies, and state, federal and municipal governments.

Products frequently provide a good return on investment for customers through lower operational costs, higher productivity, improved quality, enhanced safety and compliance and reduced environmental impact. Product examples include: equipment that automates large industrial equipment such as tractors and bulldozers; surveying instruments; integrated systems that track fleets of vehicles and workers and provide real-time information and powerful analytics to the back-office; data collection systems that enable the management of large amounts of geo-referenced information; software solutions that connect all aspects of a construction site or farm; and building information modeling (BIM) software that is used throughout the design, build, and operation of buildings. The Company also manufactures components for in-vehicle navigation and telematics systems and timing modules used in the synchronization of wireless networks.

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2013 was January 3, 2014. The third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013 ended on October 3, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively. Fiscal 2014 is a 52-week year and 2013 is a 53-week year. 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 2014 and for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013 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 2013 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Trimble Navigation Limited for fiscal year 2013. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 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 have been made to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 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.

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).

Certain immaterial amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including certain line items within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

INCOME PER SHARE

9 Months Ended

Oct. 03, 2014

INCOME PER SHARE

INCOME PER SHARE

Basic income per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and unvested restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted income per share:

	Third Quarter of				First Three Quarters of
	2014		2013		2014		2013
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Diluted income per share	$	0.04	$	0.21	$	0.60	$	0.61

For the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company excluded 1.7 million and 3.5 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted income per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company excluded 0.5 million and 3.0 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted income per share.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company’s effective income tax rate was a tax benefit of 66% as compared to a tax expense of 14% in the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc., slightly offset by differences in the geographic mix of pretax income and the expiration of the federal R&D credit.  In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 19% as compared to 15% in the corresponding period in 2013 due to the difference in the geographic mix of pretax income, the tax effect of a gain on a partial equity sale of VSS, and the expiration of the federal R&D credit, largely offset by the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc.

Historically, the Company's effective tax rate has been lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions. The Company has not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings due to the indefinite reinvestment of some of those earnings outside the U.S.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state, and foreign income tax. The Company is currently in different stages of multiple year examinations by the Internal Revenue Service as well as various state and foreign taxing authorities. Although timing of the resolution of audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 will materially change in the next twelve months.

The unrecognized tax benefits of $44.5 million and $38.1 million as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, 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 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, of $4.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During first three quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company acquired ten businesses, all with cash consideration, across its Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, and Mobile Solutions segments. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income include the operating results of the businesses from the dates of acquisition. None of the acquisitions were significant individually or in the aggregate. The purchase prices ranged from less than $1.0 million to $83.1 million. The largest acquisitions were of a company that provides product in real estate and facility management software and a manufacturer of wireless and hardwired crane safety instrumentation. Both acquisitions are within the Engineering and Construction segment. In the aggregate, the businesses acquired during fiscal 2014 collectively contributed less than one percent to the Company's total revenue during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014.

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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, 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 assets 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.

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 value of intangible assets acquired is generally determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Acquisition costs directly related to the acquisitions of $4.1 million and $7.4 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively and $2.9 million and $9.3 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, respectively, were expensed as incurred and were included in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

LITIGATION

LITIGATION

On August 9, 2013, the Harbinger Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Deere & Co., Garmin International, Inc., the Company and two other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan in connection with the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs allege, among other things, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, claiming that the defendants were aware of material facts that caused the Federal Communications Commission to take adverse action against LightSquared and affirmatively misrepresented and failed to disclose those facts prior to the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs seek $1.9 billion in damages from the defendants. On November 1, 2013, debtor LightSquared, Inc. and two related parties (“LightSquared Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the same defendants in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The LightSquared Plaintiffs assert claims similar to those made by the Harbinger Plaintiffs, as well as additional claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference, and allege that LightSquared invested billions of dollars in reliance on the promises and representations of defendants. On January 31, 2014, the U.S. District Court granted defendants’ motion to withdraw the LightSquared action from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court so it will proceed together with the Harbinger action before the U.S. District Court. Although an unfavorable outcome of these litigation matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results, liquidity, or financial position, the Company believes the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously contest these lawsuits.

On September 2, 2011, Recreational Data Services, Inc. filed an action against the Company alleging misrepresentation and breach of contract arising from an unsuccessful business venture of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. The Company believed this suit lacked any basis in law or fact and attempted to have the case dismissed on legal grounds prior to trial. These efforts were not successful and the case was tried in front of a jury in Alaska beginning on September 9, 2014. On September 26, 2014, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff damages of $51.3 million. The Company believes that the jury's verdict is unsupported and intends to vigorously pursue all available avenues to have the verdict overturned. Since a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff was rendered, the Company determined it had a probable and estimable loss for which the Company recorded an expense within the financial statements. This expense is included within General and administrative expense and is classified as a current liability as the timing of the payment is uncertain. If the verdict is overturned either as a result of post-trial motions or through the appeals process, the expense and related liability will be reversed in the period this occurs.

From time to time, the Company is also involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no other material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of the Company's or its subsidiaries' property is subject.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. 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) The money market funds are highly liquid investments. 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 represent forward currency exchange contracts. The Company typically enters into these contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rates on certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables. The Company does not account for these contracts as hedges and changes in the fair value of the instruments is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement in the period those changes occur. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in Other current assets and Other current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(4) Contingent consideration liabilities represent arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies the Company acquired. The undiscounted maximum payment under the arrangements is $13.3 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, based on estimated future revenues or other milestones based on quantities sold. Contingent consideration liabilities are included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Trimble is a designer and distributor of positioning products and applications enabled by GPS, optical, laser, and wireless communications technology. The Company provides products for diverse applications in its targeted markets.

To achieve distribution, marketing, production and technology advantages, the Company manages its operations in the following four segments:

• Engineering and Construction — Consists of hardware and software solutions for a variety of applications including:  survey, heavy civil and building construction, infrastructure, geospatial, railway, mining and utilities.

• Field Solutions — Consists of hardware and software solutions for applications including agriculture, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS), utilities, and energy distribution.

• Mobile Solutions — Consists of hardware and software solutions that enable end-users to monitor and manage their mobile work, mobile workers and mobile assets.

• Advanced Devices — The various operations that comprise this segment are aggregated on the basis that these operations, taken as a whole, do not exceed 10% of the Company’s total revenue, operating income and assets. This segment is comprised of the Embedded Technologies and Timing, Military and Advanced Systems, Applanix, Trimble Outdoors, and ThingMagic businesses.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), its Chief Executive Officer, evaluates each of its segment’s performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income before income taxes and some corporate allocations. The Company and each of its segments employ consistent accounting policies. In each of its segments the Company sells many individual products. For this reason it is impractical to segregate and identify revenue for each of these individual products or groups of products.

The following table presents revenue, operating income, depreciation expense and identifiable assets for the four segments. Operating income is revenue less cost of sales and operating expense, excluding general corporate expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition costs and restructuring costs. The identifiable assets that the CODM views by segment are accounts receivable, inventories and goodwill.

Non-current portion	$	577,719	$	652,056

Credit Facilities

On November 21, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “2012 Credit Facility”). This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $700.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2012 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility may be increased, and/or additional term loan commitments may be established, in an aggregate principal amount up to $300.0 million. The Company also has two$75 million uncommitted revolving loan facilities (the “Uncommitted Facilities”), which are callable by the bank at any time and have no covenants. The interest rate for the Uncommitted Facilities is 0.9% to 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 2014, total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $638.8 million. Of the total outstanding balance, $577.5 million of the term loan is classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The funds available under the 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on November 21, 2017, 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 0.15% to 0.35% 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 on September 29, 2017, with the remaining outstanding balance being due and payable at maturity on November 21, 2017. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan facility totaling $8.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2014, $70.0 million in fiscal 2015, $70.0 million in fiscal 2016, and the remaining balance of $490.0 million in fiscal 2017. 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 2012 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 0.00% and 1.00%, 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, or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.00% and 2.00%, 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 2012 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The 2012 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by the Company, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2012 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 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.00 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 2012 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 covenants as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

The 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.

The weighted average interest rate on the current portion of the long-term debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility and Uncommitted Facilities was 1.41% and 1.31% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively. The interest rate on the non-current debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility was 1.41% and 1.67% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively.

Promissory Notes and Other Debt

As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, the Company had promissory notes and other debt totaling approximately $8.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Leases and Other Commitments

The estimated future minimum operating lease commitments as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

2014 (Remaining)	$	8,620

Thereafter	33,247
Total	$	119,414

As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $127.2 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.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES

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 2014 are as follows:

UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Oct. 03, 2014

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition, Policy

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).

Reclassification, Policy

Certain immaterial amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including certain line items within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that generally requires the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Trimble adopted this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The implementation had no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014; however, early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. The Company will adopt the amendments beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of this change.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will amend the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. The Company is unable to determine at this time whether adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share-based Compensation Policy

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 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013.

	Third Quarter of				First Three Quarters of
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Sales and marketing	2,062		1,816		6,022		5,341
General and administrative	6,600		5,215		19,002		15,357
Total operating expenses	10,262		8,296		29,839		24,342
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	11,038	$	8,905	$	32,125	$	26,158

Fair value of Trimble Options

Stock option expense recognized in the unaudited 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 on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, typically four to five years. 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 2014 and 2013, the following weighted average assumptions were used:

	Third Quarter of		First Three Quarters of
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Expected dividend yield	—	—	—	—
Expected stock price volatility	35.4%	34.7%	35.4%	34.8%
Risk free interest rate	0.9%	0.5%	1.2%	0.5%
Expected life of options	3.9 years	3.8 years	4.0 years	4.0 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 is 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. Restricted stock units typically vest at the end of three years.

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 is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Business Combinations Policy

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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, 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 assets 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.

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 value of intangible assets acquired is generally determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Acquisition costs directly related to the acquisitions of $4.1 million and $7.4 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively and $2.9 million and $9.3 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, respectively, were expensed as incurred and were included in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivatives Asset and Liabilities Policy

Derivative assets and liabilities represent forward currency exchange contracts. The Company typically enters into these contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rates on certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables. The Company does not account for these contracts as hedges and changes in the fair value of the instruments is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement in the period those changes occur. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in Other current assets and Other current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Product Warranties Policy

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.

Income Per Share, Policy

Basic income per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and unvested restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

Income Tax, Policy

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 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, of $4.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stock Repurchase Activities

In August 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (“2014 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $300.0 million of Trimble’s common stock, replacing a stock repurchase program which has been in place since 2011 and had $52.3 million remaining unused. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, under the provisions of both the 2014 and 2011 Stock Repurchase Programs, the Company repurchased approximately 2,083,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases, all of which were made in the third quarter, at an average price of $31.20 per share, for a total of $65.0 million. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the third and first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The purchase price was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average book value per share for all outstanding shares calculated for each individual repurchase transaction. The excess of the purchase price over this average for each repurchase was charged to retained earnings. As a result, retained earnings was reduced by $55.5 million in the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014. Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes. All common shares repurchased under this program have been retired. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the 2014 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $282.8 million. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share buyback programs, tender offers, or by other means. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior 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 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013.

	Third Quarter of				First Three Quarters of
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Total operating expenses	10,262		8,296		29,839		24,342
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	11,038	$	8,905	$	32,125	$	26,158

Fair value of Trimble Options

Stock option expense recognized in the unaudited 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 on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, typically four to five years. 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 2014 and 2013, the following weighted average assumptions were used:

	Third Quarter of		First Three Quarters of
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Expected dividend yield	—	—	—	—
Expected stock price volatility	35.4%	34.7%	35.4%	34.8%
Risk free interest rate	0.9%	0.5%	1.2%	0.5%
Expected life of options	3.9 years	3.8 years	4.0 years	4.0 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 is 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. Restricted stock units typically vest at the end of three years.

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 is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
