SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. These statements include, among other things:

• impact of supply chain shortages and disruptions, as well as general inflationary pressures, on our costs and operations;

• potential impact of volatility and conflict in the political and economic environment, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its direct and indirect impact on our business;

• impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including upon global or local macroeconomic conditions, our supply chain, our results of operations, and estimates or judgments;

• the portion of our revenue expected to come from sales to customers located in countries outside of the U.S.;

• a continued shift in revenue towards a more significant mix of software and recurring revenue, including subscription, maintenance and support, and service revenue;

• our belief that increases in recurring revenue, including from our software and subscription solutions, will provide us with enhanced business visibility over time;

• our belief that our cash and cash equivalents, together with borrowings under the commitments for our credit facilities and senior notes, will be sufficient in the foreseeable future to meet our anticipated operating cash needs, debt service, and planned capital expenditures;

• any anticipated benefits to us from our acquisitions and our ability to successfully integrate the acquired businesses;

• fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates;

• our growth strategy, including our focus on historically underserved large markets, the relative importance of organic growth versus strategic acquisitions, and the reasons that we acquire businesses;

• our discretion to conduct, suspend, or discontinue our stock repurchase program subject to the discretion of our management; and

• related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, our belief that impairments of long-lived assets or accounts receivable write-off will not have a material impact on our business.

The forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future results of Trimble Inc. (“the Company” or “we” or “our” or “us”) are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which we operate, our current tax structure, including where our assets are deemed to reside for tax purposes, and the beliefs and assumptions of our management.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the first quarter of 2022. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of the 2021 Form 10-K.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to Note 1 “Overview and Accounting Policies” of this Form 10-Q.

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

We are a leading provider of technology solutions that enable professionals and field mobile workers to improve or transform their work processes. Our comprehensive work process solutions are used across a range of industries including architecture, building construction, civil engineering, geospatial, survey and mapping, agriculture, natural resources, utilities, transportation, and government. Our representative customers include construction owners, contractors, engineering and construction firms, surveying companies, farmers and agricultural companies, energy and utility companies, trucking companies, and state, federal, and municipal governments.

Our growth strategy is centered on multiple elements:

• Executing on our Connect and Scale strategy;

*•*Increasing focus on software and services;

• Focus on attractive markets with significant growth and profitability potential;

• Domain knowledge and technological innovation that benefit a diverse customer base;

• Geographic expansion with localization strategy;

• Optimized go-to-market strategies to best access our markets;

• Strategic acquisitions;

• Venture fund investments; and

• Sustainability.

Our focus on these growth drivers has led over time to growth in revenue and profitability and an increasingly diversified business model. We continue to experience a shift toward a more significant mix of recurring revenue contracts, as demonstrated by our success in driving annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) growth of 12% year-over-year at the end of the first quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and acquisitions and divestitures, ARR organic growth was 14%. This shift has positively impacted our revenue mix and growth over time and is leading to improved visibility in our businesses. Our software, maintenance, subscriptions, and services represented 56% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2022. As our solutions have expanded, our go-to-market model has also evolved with a balanced mix between direct, distribution, and OEM customers as well as an increasing number of enterprise level customer relationships.

For a full definition of ARR as used in this discussion and analysis, refer to the “Supplemental Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Annualized Recurring Revenue” later in this Item 2.

Impact of Recent Events on Our Business

Inflationary Cost Increases, Disruption in Our Supply Chain, and Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

In 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022, we continued to experience inflationary cost increases in certain components of our hardware products and increased freight expenses due to supply chain disruptions resulting from strained transportation capacity, parts and labor shortages, and an increase in worldwide demand for components. Additionally, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the current lockdowns in China as a result of rising COVID-19 cases may further impact the supply chain, both directly and indirectly. In response to these supply chain disruptions, we continue to make binding commitments with longer lead times, which may negatively impact our working capital in the short term and our flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions and product demand. Although we have initiated customer price increases to offset inflationary pressures, we continue to experience delays in shipping our products and increased costs, which may reduce our revenue and gross margin and continue to increase our backlog.

Table of Contents

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to evolve, we are monitoring the current and potential impact on our business, our people, and our customers. We stopped selling to Russia and Belarus customers in the first quarter and wrote off uncollected customer receivables and inventory located in these countries, totaling $5.7 million. Any future impairments of other assets, including long-lived assets, would not have a material impact on our financial results. Total revenue associated with Russia and Belarus customers, either sold directly or indirectly through resellers or OEMs, was less than 2% of our total Company revenue for 2021. For 2022, we expect that our current overall demand and backlog position will offset the majority of the revenue loss from these countries. While neither Russia nor Belarus constitutes a material portion of our business, a significant escalation of the conflict could add more pressure on supply chain issues or increase inflationary costs, and therefore, may have a negative impact on our operations.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” below for further discussion of the impacts on and risks to our business from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Business Divestitures

On April 13, 2022, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Time and Frequency, LOADRITE, Spectra Precision Tools, and SECO accessories businesses to Precisional LLC, an affiliate of The Jordan Company. These businesses are reported as part of our Buildings and Infrastructure and Geospatial segments. On April 20, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our BeenaVision business to Wabtec Corporation. The BeenaVision business is reported as part of our Transportation segment.

Both of these divestitures are in line with our strategy to focus on core areas of our long-term growth and strategic product roadmap. The transactions are subject to a number of customary closing conditions and are expected to close in the second quarter of 2022. The combined proceeds of both transactions are expected to be approximately $216.5 million, subject to working capital adjustments. For fiscal 2021, the revenue and operating income for these businesses was approximately $185.0 million and $37.0 million.

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 since December 31, 2021. For discussion of financial markets risks related to changes in interest rate, refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” section of the 2021 Form 10-K.

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. In addition, volatile market conditions could result in changes in exchange rates.

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 Euro. 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.

Table of Contents

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 first quarter of 2022, unfavorable impacts from foreign currency exchange rates were $19.3 million on revenue and $4.8 million on operating income.

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash, debt, and certain trade and intercompany receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Euro, New Zealand Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Brazilian Real, 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 two months in 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 at the end of the first quarter of 2022 and at the end of 2021 are summarized as follows (in millions):

(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 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

From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no 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.

Table of Contents

The following risk factors update and refine previously disclosed risk factors included under "Risk and Uncertainties" in Item 1A of Part I of our 2021 Form 10-K incorporated herein by reference. Our risk factors may materially affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. They should be considered carefully, in addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Additional risks or uncertainties that are not currently known to us, that we currently deem to be immaterial, or that could apply to any company could also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Any of these events could amplify the other risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of and elsewhere in our 2021 Form 10-K and in other reports we file with the SEC, specifically the most recent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q, each as it may be amended from time to time, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or stock price.

Geopolitical risks, such as those associated with Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, could result in increased market volatility and uncertainty, which could negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations**.**

The uncertain nature, magnitude, and duration of hostilities stemming from Russia’s recent military invasion of Ukraine, including potential effects of sanctions on the world economy and markets, possible retaliatory cyber-attacks, and potential supply chain disruptions, have contributed to increased market volatility and uncertainty, and could have an adverse impact on our business and could amplify the existing supply chain challenges we faced. As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union governments, among others, have developed coordinated economic and financial sanctions packages. We are no longer selling our products in Russia and Belarus. As the invasion of Ukraine continues, there can be no certainty regarding whether governments will impose additional sanctions or other economic or military measures against Russia, or with respect to the potential responses to such actions by Russia. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of this conflict, which could include further sanctions; embargoes; regional instability; geopolitical shifts and adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions; the availability and cost of raw materials, supplies, freight, and labor; currency exchange rates; our suppliers, customers, and potential consumer demand for our products; and financial markets, all of which could impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

(a) None.

(b) None.

(c) The following table provides information relating to our purchases of equity securities for the first quarter of 2022:

On August 19, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program (“2021 Stock Repurchase Program”) authorizing up to $750.0 million in repurchases of our common stock. The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program went into effect immediately after being announced, does not have an expiration date, and replaces and supersedes the $600.0 million share repurchase authorization approved by our Board of Directors in November 2017, of which $50.7 million was remaining and has been cancelled.

Under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares from time to time, subject to business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market transactions, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, or by other means. The timing and actual number of any shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, our share price, other available uses of capital, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion without notice.
