Trimble (TRMB) Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Fall Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Trimble Inc. (TRMB - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2023 non-GAAP earnings of 72 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.5%. However, the bottom line decreased 1% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
TRMB’s revenues of $915.4 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.1%. Also, the figure was down 8% year over year.
The top-line decrease was attributed to weak momentum across Resource and Utilities, Geospatial, and Transportation segments.
Macroeconomic headwinds and supply-chain constraints also remained overhangs.
TRMB generated annualized recurring revenues of $1.65 billion in the reported quarter, which increased 12% on a year-over-year basis.
Product revenues (accounting for 47.5% of total revenues) totaled $434.4 million, down 23% on a year-over-year basis. Subscription and services revenues (52.5%) increased 13% from the year-ago quarter’s level to $481 million.

Resources and Utilities: This segment generated revenues of $208.6 million (22.8% of total revenues), down 9% from the prior-year quarter’s level. Lower revenues were attributed to weak agricultural revenues.
