- the strength of the [removed: agricultural, engineering and] [added: engineering,] construction, and transportation markets;
- uncertainty regarding social, political, [removed: including elections,] immigration, tax, and trade policies in the U.S. and abroad.
A significant trade disruption or the establishment or increase of any trade barrier in any area where we do business [added: – such as through increased tariffs imposed on imports into the U.S. and any resulting retaliatory actions taken by other countries –] could increase the cost of our products, which could adversely impact the margin that we earn on sales, make our products more expensive for customers or create uncertainty around demand for certain types of products, which could make our products less competitive and reduce customer [removed: demand.][added: demand or result in supply chain delays.]
In addition, government or customer efforts, attitudes, [removed: laws] [added: laws,] or policies may lead to non-U.S. customers favoring domestic suppliers that could compete with or replace our products, which would also have an adverse effect on our business.
Our current reliance on a limited group of contract manufacturers and suppliers involves risks, including the potential inability to obtain products or components to meet customers’ delivery requirements, reduced control over pricing and delivery [removed: schedules] [added: schedules,] and discontinuation of or increased prices for certain components.
The geopolitical [removed: conditions] [added: conditions,] such as the [removed: ongoing military conflict] [added: developments] in the [removed: Middle East and] [added: conflict] between Russia and Ukraine and related events and their impact on our suppliers and on international trade in general, have [added: previously] led to shortfalls in available components we need to make products as well as increased costs to obtain components, to make products, and to transport components and products.
The disruptions [removed: include] [added: included] extended delivery times for certain components of our hardware products and increased freight costs.
These disruptions [removed: have] had an adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand and have resulted in delays in shipping products to customers and dealers.
- inflationary cost [removed: increases,][added: increases;]
- increases in wages that drive up prices of [removed: labor,][added: labor;]

If we are unable to effectively integrate, [removed: streamline] [added: streamline,] and manage our diverse and complex businesses and operations, our ability to generate growth and revenue from new or existing customers may be adversely affected
Because our operations are geographically diverse and [removed: increasingly] complex, our personnel resources and infrastructure could become strained, and our reputation in the market and our ability to successfully manage and grow our business may be adversely affected.
- deploying our solutions using [removed: third party] [added: third-party] information systems, which may require changes to our applications, documentation, and operational processes;
We have increasingly diversified [added: and modified] the nature [added: and mix] of our [removed: businesses] [added: businesses,] both organically and by [removed: acquisition.][added: acquisitions and divestitures.]
Pursuant to our Connect [removed: and] [added: &] Scale strategy, we are investing substantial resources in integrating our product offerings and transitioning our businesses to common core services and systems to achieve economies of scale, simplify our operations, and improve the customer experience.
An increasing portion of our revenue is generated through software maintenance and subscription revenue, which includes [removed: “Software] [added: Software] as a [removed: Service”] [added: Service] (“SaaS”) and new subscription services for integrated solutions.
This shift reflects [removed: both] an increasing use of subscription models for new products, and a transition for some existing products from perpetual license sales and distribution in favor of SaaS or other subscription [removed: offerings.][added: offerings, as well as divestitures of some of our legacy businesses.]
Customer satisfaction with our services is affected by a variety of factors, such as security, reliability, performance, concerns [removed: about data privacy, current subscription terms, customer preference, and industry adoption.]
Our subscription models provide our customers [added: with] the right to access certain of our software in a hosted environment or use downloaded software for a specified subscription period.
Market acceptance of such offerings is affected by a variety of factors, such as security, reliability, performance, current license terms, customer preference and industry adoption, social/community engagement, customer concerns with entrusting a third party to store and manage their data, public concerns [added: regarding privacy, and the enactment of restrictive laws or regulations.]
We [removed: typically acquire] [added: have acquired] a number of [removed: businesses each year] [added: businesses,] and we intend to continue to acquire other businesses.
- impairment of relationships with employees, customers, vendors, [removed: distributors] [added: distributors,] or business partners of either an acquired company or our own business;
We could also experience higher than expected transaction costs and business sale losses, [added: or post-closing disputes with buyers of our divested businesses,] which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Additionally, we typically agree to [added: certain commercial arrangements with buyers, including to] provide certain transitional services and support when we divest a business, and we may face [added: disputes and] significant, unanticipated costs in providing such services.
For significant divestitures, these transitional services can take up considerable corporate resources and attention, which may [removed: then] adversely affect our other businesses, operations, and results.
We have identified [removed: a] material [removed: weakness] [added: weaknesses] in our internal control over financial reporting, and if our remediation of such material [removed: weakness] [added: weaknesses] is not effective, it could impact our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations.
[removed: As more fully disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” we] [added: We had first] identified [removed: a] material [removed: weakness] [added: weaknesses] in [added: our] internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023.
In the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, [added: as included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 29, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”),] we [added: had] identified a material weakness related to the accounting for the Company’s business combination of [removed: Transporeon.][added: Transporeon, including lack of appropriate oversight of third-party valuation specialists and insufficient design and operating effectiveness of management review controls.]
[removed: Furthermore,] [added: If we are not able to successfully remediate these material weaknesses,] there is a [added: reasonable] possibility that [added: a] material [removed: misstatements to] [added: misstatement of] our [removed: future] annual or interim financial statements will not be [removed: prevented] [added: presented] or detected [removed: in] [added: on] a timely [removed: basis as a result of the identified material weakness.][added: basis.]
[removed: Our] [added: Additionally, our] management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee, [removed: is] [added: has been] taking actions to [added: address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025 and] implement our remediation [removed: plan] [added: plan, in each case,] as described more fully in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and [removed: Procedures”.][added: Procedures” of this report.]
The heightened trade tensions and related imposition of tariffs between the U.S. and its trading partners, the extent and duration of these tariffs, and their impact on global economic conditions remain uncertain and depend on various factors, including international negotiations, policy responses, potential exemptions, and shifts in global supply and demand.

about data privacy, current subscription terms, customer preference, and industry adoption.
Subsequent to the filing of the 2023 Form 10-K with the SEC on February 26, 2024, management re-evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Based on this re-evaluation, we had identified additional material weaknesses related to certain information technology general controls (“ITGCs”), undue reliance on controls over IT interfaces, and the evaluation of standalone selling prices utilized in the accounting for revenue, all of which support the Company’s financial reporting processes.
As previously disclosed, the Company had delayed the filing of its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarters of 2024 until the assessment of the impacts of the matters described above was complete.
As a result of the delayed filings, the Company had received notices from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.
Subsequently, the Company had delayed the filing of this report for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025 due to the time required to prepare and file the prior delayed reports.
After filing its Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to the 2023 Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarters of 2024 with the SEC on January 16, 2025, and subsequently, this report for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025 with the SEC, the Company has since regained compliance with the Listing Rule.
As a result of our previous failure to timely meet our SEC reporting obligations, we are unable to use Form S-3 for the twelve months after that date.
This could make accessing the capital markets during this period more costly or less efficient.
Moreover, if we uncover additional material weaknesses, our financial statements may be inaccurate, and we may be unable to comply with our SEC filing obligations, which could prevent us from using Form S-3 or result in a Nasdaq delisting.
In addition, we may be unable to access the capital markets or repurchase our stock if we are not current with our SEC filing obligations.

As market conditions and our business strategies evolve, we must also evolve our distribution and go to market strategies.
From time to time, we have divested businesses, including the sale of our agricultural business to a joint venture with AGCO and the sale of our Mobility business.
We expect to undertake more divestitures in the future.
In some cases, we have retained an equity position in the entities to which we divest our business units.
We have limited control over such entities, and the value of such equity stake could decline over time.

Our use of artificial intelligence, or AI, and generative AI tools presents risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business and require that we incur substantial costs
We use AI and generative AI tools in certain of our products, services, and operations, including customer service, data analytics, product development, and code creation.
AI is a rapidly evolving and disruptive technology, and the long-term implications of its use are still uncertain.
We expect that the increasing adoption and use of AI technologies will continue to accelerate and have significant impacts on our business and the industries we serve.
Although we continue to invest in AI, there can be no assurance that our investments will be beneficial to our business.
Our competitors may incorporate AI more quickly or successfully, and our solutions could become less competitive as a result.

AI may also produce erroneous or misleading content, and outputs that infringe on the IP or data privacy rights of others.
Although we take measures to address the accuracy and appropriate use of generative AI content, including through internal AI policies and training, these efforts may not always be successful.
Any failure by our personnel, contractors, or partners to adhere to our AI policies, or otherwise use AI in an inappropriate manner, could result in violations of confidentiality obligations and laws or regulations, jeopardize our IP rights, or expose our products or business systems to defects and malware, any of which could damage our business and result in reputational, technical, or competitive harm.

regarding privacy and the enactment of restrictive laws or regulations.
From time to time we have divested businesses, and we expect to do so in the future.
This included lack of appropriate oversight of third-party valuation specialists and insufficient design and operating effectiveness of management review controls, including controls over the completeness and accuracy of certain assumptions used in the valuation of acquired intangible assets.
We can give no assurance that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.
Any failure to remediate the material weakness, or the development of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations, which in turn could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, restrict our ability to access the capital markets, require significant resources to correct the material weaknesses or deficiencies, subject us to fines, penalties or judgments, harm our reputation or otherwise cause a decline in investor confidence and cause a decline in the market price of our stock.
The proposed transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2024.
The pending transaction may not be completed in accordance with announced plans, on the currently expected timeline, or at all, and the pending sale may be disruptive to our business operations and adversely affect our profitability.
A significant portion of our agriculture aftermarket sales have historically been generated through CNH, which resells our aftermarket products through its dealer network.
In February 2023, we gave CNH a 12-month notification that we would no longer be supplying aftermarket precision agriculture products to CNH for resale through the CNH dealer network.
In December 2023, we notified CNH that our OEM agreement to supply CNH with products for factory installation would terminate in 2024.
Upon the closing of the proposed Trimble Ag JV Transaction, the JV will directly manage the independent dealer network to ensure access, service, and support for the agriculture customers.
Our revenue from the independent dealer network, whether owned by us or the JV, might not offset the reduction in revenue resulting from our discontinuance of sales of aftermarket products to CNH.
In addition, because of our sales structure, cash, and equity incentive compensation plans, we may be at increased risk of losing employees at certain times.
For example, the retention value of our compensation plans decreases after the payment of periodic bonuses or the vesting of equity awards.

- Deliver customer outcomes that can enable productivity, quality, safety, transparency, and environmental sustainability;
Additionally, we continue to maintain focus on increasing our mix of recurring revenue, which is accelerated by the Transporeon acquisition that closed in the second quarter of 2023 and the Ag divestiture that closed in the second quarter of 2024.
This is demonstrated by the 12 acquisitions and 23 divestitures that we have completed since 2020, including the Transporeon acquisition, the Ag divestiture, and the Mobility divestiture.
Mobility Divestiture
On September 14, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement with Platform Science to sell our Mobility business.
Subsequent to the end of the year 2024, the transaction closed on February 8, 2025 resulting in our ownership, or rights to acquire ownership of 32.5% of Platform Science’s expanded business with an approximate fair value of $248.7 million.
The approximate fair value was determined based on unobservable inputs, including discounted cash flow projections, market comparables, and an option pricing model.
We received (i) shares of preferred stock of Platform Science, with
certain liquidation preferences, that represent 28.5% of Platform Science’s expanded business and (ii) warrants allowing us the rights to acquire 4% of Platform Science’s expanded business.
The combined businesses aim to enhance driver experience, fleet safety, efficiency, and compliance by combining two cutting-edge in-cab commercial vehicle ecosystems, which gives customers access to more applications and offerings.
A valuation allowance was established to reduce the carrying value of the disposal group assets to the approximate fair value of the consideration we would receive.
As a result, we recorded a pre-tax loss of approximately $32.9 million included within Divestitures gain, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income in 2024.
Upon the closing of the transaction in the first quarter of 2025, we derecognized the assets and liabilities that were transferred and recorded our equity investment at its cost.
Ag Divestiture
The agreement was amended and restated on March 31, 2024, and the transaction closed on April 1, 2024.
Under the terms of the agreement, we contributed our Ag business, excluding certain GNSS and guidance technologies, in exchange for $1.9 billion in cash proceeds, subject to working capital adjustments.
In addition to forming PTx Trimble, the parties concurrently entered into agreements that include the following: (i) long-term supply agreement for key GNSS and guidance technologies, (ii) technology transfer and license agreement, (iii) trademark license agreement, (iv) master sale and distribution agreement for positioning services, and (v) transition services agreement.
Ag was reported as a part of our Field Systems segment.
Upon closing of the transaction in the second quarter of 2024, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.7 billion.
The gain included $275.6 million for our retained 15% ownership interest in PTx Trimble, an LLC, which is reported as an equity method investment.
We repaid $1.0 billion of our variable-rate debt through use of the net proceeds and expect to use the majority of the remaining proceeds after tax to repurchase stock.
Macroeconomic conditions continue to present significant challenges globally, driven by geopolitical tensions, tariff and trade policies, exchange rate and interest rate volatility, and persistent inflationary pressures.
The heightened trade tensions and related imposition of tariffs between the United States and its trading partners, the extent and duration of these tariffs, and their impact on global economic conditions remain uncertain and depend on various factors, including international negotiations, policy responses, potential exemptions, and shifts in global supply and demand.
These evolving dynamics may have a negative impact on our business operations.
In response, we are closely monitoring global trade developments and considering ways to mitigate potential impacts on our business.
[Table of Contents](#ib4438226abda4b508959e7ba6bb7621b_16)
When divesting a business, a significant portion of the gain or loss may be impacted by the goodwill allocated to the divested business and the fair value of any equity interests acquired in exchange for the disposal group.
We allocate a portion of the applicable reporting unit’s goodwill to the divested business using the ratio of the fair value of the divested business compared to the fair value of the reporting unit.
The fair value of the reporting units, divested businesses, and acquired equity interests is generally determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow method and the guideline company method.
The significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair values include certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results, specifically, revenue, revenue growth rates, and discount rates.
These significant assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

Organic total revenue increased due to the increased mix of subscription and services revenue and the impact of the additional week in fiscal 2024.
Organic product revenue decreased due to lower Ag demand in the first quarter and higher U.S. federal government sales of Surveying hardware in the prior year.
Gross margin increased due to the organic growth of higher margin software and subscription sales, including the impact of the additional week, partially offset by the divestiture of Ag margin hardware sales.

- Sustainability.
Additionally, we continue to maintain focus on new product introductions and transitions to recurring revenue as evidenced by the Transporeon business and the pending Trimble Ag JV Transaction (as described below).
Under the terms of the agreement, we will contribute the Trimble Ag business, excluding certain GNSS and guidance technologies, and AGCO will contribute its JCA Technologies business to the JV.
We will sell an interest in the JV to AGCO for $2.0 billion in pre-tax cash proceeds, subject to working capital adjustments.
Additionally, we plan to enter into the following agreements with AGCO as part of the overall proposed transaction:
- a seven-year, renewable Supply Agreement through which we will provide key GNSS and guidance technologies to the JV for use in professional agriculture machines sold by AGCO, on an exclusive basis with limited exceptions;
- a Technology Transfer and License Agreement to govern the licensing of certain non-divested intellectual property and technology for use by the JV in the agriculture field and, upon expiration of the Supply Agreement, to govern fixed and variable royalty payments made to us by the JV;
- a Trademark License Agreement to govern the licensing of certain Trimble trademarks for use by the JV in the agriculture field;
- a Positioning Services Agreement through which the JV will serve as our channel partner for the positioning services in the agriculture market; and
- a Transition Services Agreement to provide contract manufacturing services for the divested products for two years following closing of the proposed transaction.
The proposed transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2024 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
On April 3, 2023, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Transporeon in an all-cash transaction valued at €1.9 billion or $2.1 billion.
Transporeon is a Germany-based company and leading cloud-based transportation management software platform that connects key stakeholders across the industry lifecycle to positively impact the optimization of global supply chains, which aligns with our Connect and Scale strategy.
By combining Transporeon’s operations with ours, we expect economies of scale, growth, such as acceleration of recurring revenue, expansion of the addressable market, cross-sell opportunities, and enhanced productivity and sustainability solutions for our customers.
Transporeon is reported in our Transportation segment.
We have included the financial results of Transporeon in our Consolidated Financial Statements starting in the second quarter of 2023.
Macroeconomic conditions, including geopolitical tensions, such as the ongoing military conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions, exchange rate and interest rate volatility, and inflationary pressures, will continue to evolve globally.
Global inflation rates rose in 2022 and continued into early 2023.
As a result, interest rates increased over 2022 and 2023 in an effort to curb inflation.
These macroeconomic conditions have had and are expected to have a negative impact on our results of operations.
We may experience higher borrowing costs on our variable-rate debt.
At the end of 2023, our outstanding balance of variable-rate debt was $1.3 billion.
In 2023, as compared to the prior year, our organic hardware sales declined and bookings moderated as dealers moved toward lower levels of inventories due to improved product lead times and reduced end user demand.
Buildings and Infrastructure, Geospatial, and Resources and Utilities all had stronger hardware sales in the prior year.
| Product | | | $ | 1,771.7 | | | | | $ | 1,986.1 | | | | | $ | (214.4) | | | | | (11)% | | |
| Gross margin | | | $ | 2,332.8 | | | | | $ | 2,105.6 | | | | | $ | 227.2 | | | | | 11% | | |
Both 2023 and 2022 were 52–week years.
Organic total revenue was up 1%.
Organic product revenue decreased due to reductions in dealer inventory levels as a result of improved product lead times and reduced end user demand.
These decreases impacted sales in Buildings and Infrastructure, Geospatial, and Resources and Utilities.
Operating expense increased due to the Transporeon acquisition, higher research and development, and general and administrative costs, including investments related to our Connect and Scale strategy and increased amortization of purchased intangibles.
We had cost reductions in 2023 and will continue to focus on further reductions.
| Total | | | $ | 1,734.8 | | | | | $ | 1,517.9 | | | | | $ | 216.9 | | | | | 14% | | |

| Other income (expense), net | | | 31.9 | | | | | | (0.8) | | | | | | 32.7 | | | | | | (4088)% | | |
Non-operating expense, net increased primarily due to lower net gains from divestitures and higher interest expense from the new debt associated with the Transporeon acquisition, partially offset by foreign currency hedging gains associated with the Transporeon acquisition and fluctuations in the deferred compensation plan assets, both included in Other income (expense), net.
The decrease was primarily due to an increases in tax benefit from U.S. federal R&D credit and foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) in 2023, and change in geographic mix of earnings, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation deductions in the current year.

In the second quarter of 2023, we borrowed $1.2 billion of variable-rate debt in conjunction with the Transporeon acquisition.
At the end of 2023, our outstanding balance of variable-rate debt was $1.3 billion, see details in [Note 8 “Debt”](#id1873d0d3e774e6a8e3e1363725e4d58_184) of this report.
We are exposed to market risk due to the possibility of changing interest rates.
While not predictive, a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would result in an increase of approximately $6.5 million in annual interest expense.

Change in Presentation
During the first quarter of 2023, we changed the presentation of revenue and cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
This change was made to better reflect our Connect and Scale strategy and business model evolution with a continued shift toward a more significant mix of recurring revenues, which includes subscription, maintenance and support, and term licenses.
As such, we revised our presentation, including (i) the combination of subscription and services into one line item, and (ii) moving term licenses from product to subscription and services.
The subscription and services line item is more aligned with our performance measures, how we manage our business, and is helpful to investors and others to better understand our results.
Previously, we presented revenue and cost of sales on three lines as follows:
- product, which included hardware and software licenses (both perpetual and term licenses);
- service, which included hardware and software maintenance and support and professional services;
- subscription, which included SaaS, data, and hosting services.
The revised categories are as follows:
- product, which includes hardware and perpetual software licenses;
- subscription and services, which includes SaaS, data, and hosting services, as well as term licenses, hardware and software maintenance and support, and professional services.
Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.
This change in presentation did not affect the total revenue or total cost of sales.
The effect of the change on the Consolidated Statements of Income for 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO [removed: have] concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of such period because of the material [removed: weakness] [added: weaknesses] in internal control over financial reporting described below.
[removed: Inherent] [added: *Inherent] Limitations on Effectiveness of [removed: Controls][added: Controls*]
The internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with [removed: generally accepted accounting principles.][added: U.S. GAAP.]
Based on the assessment by management, it was determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to [removed: a material weakness related to] the [removed: accounting for the Company’s business combination of Transporeon.][added: material weaknesses described below.]
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at the end of [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their [removed: report which is included elsewhere herein.][added: report.]
Remediation Plan for Material [removed: Weakness][added: Weaknesses]
Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee, is currently taking actions to remediate the material [removed: weakness] [added: weaknesses] and is implementing additional processes and controls to address the underlying causes associated with the material [removed: weakness] [added: weaknesses] described above.
The material [removed: weakness] [added: weaknesses] will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

[removed: During the fourth quarter of 2023,] [added: Other than as described above,] there [removed: were] [added: have been] no changes [removed: in our internal control over financial reporting] that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial [removed: reporting.][added: reporting during the period for which this report relates.]
- We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) for certain business systems related to the Company’s financial reporting processes.
Specifically, the Company did not design sufficient controls to (i) manage user access to systems, (ii) ensure that program changes made to systems were authorized and approved, or (iii) identify and resolve system issues impacting the financial reporting process.
Certain business process controls and IT interfaces that are dependent on the ineffective ITGCs, or that rely on data produced from systems impacted by the ineffective ITGCs, could have been adversely impacted, and were also deemed ineffective.
- We did not design and maintain (i) effective review controls, including the retention of evidence to support the design and operating effectiveness of controls and (ii) effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of information produced by the entity utilized in the performance of controls, including the retention of relevant evidence to support the design and operating effectiveness of controls.
These deficiencies primarily affected controls over revenue and related accounts, income taxes and excess and obsolete inventory, and other controls as a part of our reporting and disclosure process.
- We did not design and maintain effective controls over the evaluation of standalone selling prices of performance obligations utilized in accounting for revenue, including review controls over the establishment and subsequent changes to standard pricing and discounting.
(c) Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses
These efforts include:
- We are in the process of finalizing the design and implementation of controls of certain ITGCs for business systems related to the Company’s financial reporting processes.
- We are in the process of updating our policies and practices related to maintaining evidence of review of business process controls, including the review of information used in the performance of controls.
- We are in the process of finalizing the design and implementation of controls over the evaluation of standalone selling prices of performance obligations utilized in accounting for revenue, including review controls over pricing and discounting.
In addition to the identified material weaknesses noted above, we are implementing a customer relationship management tool across our businesses as a strategic initiative that will replace many legacy systems and that could materially affect our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a - 15(f) and 15d - 15(f) under the Exchange Act).
This included lack of appropriate oversight of third-party valuation specialists and insufficient design and operating effectiveness of management review controls, including controls over the completeness and accuracy of certain assumptions used in the valuation of acquired intangible assets.
The Company corrected an error, which resulted in an adjustment of $34 million between goodwill and developed technology intangibles, net of tax.
We have excluded the businesses acquired in 2023 from our evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting internal controls.
The excluded businesses constituted approximately 3% of both tangible assets and revenue as of and for the year ended December 29, 2023.
We are in the process of reassessing the design of review controls over third-party valuation specialists to add greater levels of precision to detect and prevent potential material misstatements, including the establishment of process and controls to evaluate adequate review and evidence used in the valuation of acquired intangible assets.

[removed: Rule] [added: *Rule] 10b5-1 Trading [removed: Plan][added: Plan*]
During the fourth quarter of 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.
We previously reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2024, that Jennifer Allison had entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement on February 29, 2024 for potential sales of 1,571 shares between June 3, 2024 and June 2, 2025.
The actual number of shares under that trading arrangement was 3,571 shares, which have all now been sold, as reported on a Form 4 filed on January 22, 2025.
On November 2, 2023, Mark Schwartz, Senior Vice President, and an officer for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act as of the date of this filing, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act.
The trading arrangement was entered into during an open trading window and provides for potential sales of our common stock of up to 12,344 shares between April 15, 2024 and October 16, 2024.
