TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES AND PARTNERS

Trimble maintained its multi-year progression of growth and operational 

sales which benefited from a full product portfolio sold into a 

improvement through 2005. This was reflected in both our financial 

relatively unpenetrated market. Although Field Solutions’ perfor-

performance during the year, as well as in the non-financial metrics 

mance within the year was inconsistent, we exited the year with 

which provide the platform for our future growth and development. 

good momentum.

Revenue of $774.9 million was up 16 percent for the year, with  

a compounded growth rate of 19 percent since 1999. GAAP operating 

margins were 16 percent of revenue for the year, an 8.5 point increase 

from 1999. Looking at our results by reporting segment:

•  Mobile Solutions segment revenue grew by 34 percent, with an 

operating loss of $3.1 million, down from $6.0 million in 2004.  

The segment also achieved profitability during the fourth quarter,  

a major milestone. This transition to profitability was enabled by

•  Field Solutions segment revenue grew by 21 percent with operating

GROWTH DRIVERS 

We continue to test our strategy development within the dual contexts 

of market and financial goals. First, we expect our strategies to establish 

to more efficiently perform tasks in the field and, as importantly, to 

more effectively tie the back office and the field together into a more 

productive whole. During 2005 we entered two new application areas 

in Mobile Solutions through the acquisition of MobileTech Solutions, 

Inc., for direct store delivery, and Advanced Public Safety, Inc., for 

or extend compelling leadership in our markets—with “compelling” 

police and fire agencies.

being a function of both market share gains, as well as the ability to 

establish new standards by which users measure competitors. Second, 

we expect our strategies to deliver financial performance well within 

the top quartile of the relevant universe of comparable companies and 

to deliver returns well in excess of our cost of capital. The key elements 

of our strategy are centered in four arenas:

We see significant opportunity in the wider construction realm, which 

we term the Connected Construction Site, based on our underlying 

perspective that this trillion dollar industry is a significant laggard  

in applying information technology to change the way work is done.  

Our existing products provide significant productivity improvements, 

eliminate process steps and reduce rework. We anticipate future 

information and positioning solutions to further tie the site together 

and deliver even more advantages to our users. During 2005 we 

extended our product reach in pursuit of this strategy by establishing 

enhanced positions in fleet and asset management for the contractor 

and by extending our presence in establishing the infrastructure to 

provide high accuracy positions to users. 

Precision Agriculture has been a significant contributor to Trimble’s 

growth for several years. Today our products provide GPS guidance 

solutions which enable more precise operation of farm equipment in 

the field. This allows for better farm economics through improved 

yield and reduced fertilizer and chemical input costs. We anticipate 

increasing levels of automation within agriculture and expect to be an 

active participant in enabling that trend. In 2005, we began shipping  

a new product, the AgGPS® EZ-SteerTM system, which covered an 

important and unserved product segment for lower-cost assisted steering. 

Advanced Devices is our designation for new application areas where 

we provide GPS technology, or GPS technology together with other 

elements such as wireless communications or inertial capability. We 

have historically provided relatively low-level components into high-

volume applications such as automobile navigation. We have revised 

this strategy and are now focusing on providing higher-value products 

with higher, more defensible price points.
