NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Trimble Navigation Limited (the Company), incorporated in California in 1981, provides positioning solutions to commercial and government users in a large number of markets. These markets include surveying, agriculture, construction, asset management, mapping, and mobile resource management.

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2010 was December 31, 2010. The third quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 ended on September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, respectively. Fiscal 2011 and 2010 were both 52-week years. 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 September 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010 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 December 31, 2010 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Trimble Navigation Limited for fiscal year 2010. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2010 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 (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of September 30, 2011, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 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.

NOTE 2. UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting polices during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are as follows:

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on fair value measurement and related disclosures. The new guidance clarified the concepts applicable for fair value measurement of non-financial assets and requires the disclosure of quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and will be applied prospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the financial and disclosure impact of this guidance. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this amended guidance.

In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option provided by current U.S. GAAP to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, it gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and will be applied retrospectively. The Company will apply the guidance when it becomes effective.

Table of Contents

In August 2011, the FASB approved a revised accounting standard update intended to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The amendment gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity no longer will be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the financial and disclosure impact of this guidance.

NOTE 3. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Activities

In January 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (“2008 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of Trimble’s common stock under this program. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the three months ended October 1, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 216,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $28.40 per share, for a total of $6.1 million. During the nine months ended October 1, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 2,576,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $28.67 per share, for a total of $73.8 million. Since January 2008, the Company has repurchased approximately 6,819,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $29.29 per share, for a total of $199.7 million. The purchase price was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average stated value per share with the remainder to retained earnings. 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. In October 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (“2011 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of Trimble’s common stock. This authorization superseded the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program, thus there were no remaining authorized funds under the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program. The timing and actual number of future shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without public notice.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value of stock options and share purchase rights are estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units is calculated based on the value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. 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, net of tax, related to employee stock-based compensation included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010.

Options

Stock option expense recognized during the period is based on the fair value of the portion of the stock option that is expected to vest during the period and is net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial valuation model. The binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate, and risk free interest rate. For options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, the following weighted average assumptions were used:

Expected life of option

     4.2 years        4.1 years        4.2 years        4.2 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 Option – 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.

NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION

Tekla Corporation

On May 8, 2011, the Company and Tekla Corporation (“Tekla”) entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tekla. Tekla is headquartered in Finland and is a provider of building information modeling software and other model driven solutions for customers in the infrastructure and energy industries.

The acquisition closed on July 8, 2011, whereby the Company acquired 99.46% of the outstanding shares of Tekla for $454.9 million in cash. The Company intends to purchase the remaining shares of Tekla as soon as practical through compulsory redemption proceedings under the Finish Companies Act. The acquisition was funded through the use of approximately $54.9 million of the Company’s existing cash, with the remainder funded through the Company’s credit facilities. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $6.4 million in acquisition-related costs related primarily to investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional services. The acquisition costs were expensed as incurred and were included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with $5.6 million and $6.4 million recognized in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Tekla is a leading provider of information model based software for the building and construction and infrastructure and energy industries. The Company expects that the integration of Tekla’s BIM software solutions with Trimble’s building construction estimating, project management and BIM-to-field solutions will enable a compelling set of productivity solutions for contractors around the world. Tekla’s infrastructure and energy solutions will complement Trimble’s growing portfolio of utilities and municipalities solutions. Additionally, Trimble’s significant global customer base will immediately extend Tekla’s customer reach while Tekla’s global presence in the building and construction market will bolster Trimble’s own customer reach.

Tekla’s results of operations from July 8, 2011 through September 30, 2011 have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Tekla’s building and construction activities are included within the Company’s Engineering and Construction business segment and Tekla’s infrastructure and energy activities are included within the Company’s Field Solutions business segment.

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 values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates and assumptions provided by management. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the date of the acquisition. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but it is waiting for additional information, primarily related to estimated values of certain net tangible and intangible assets, including certain income tax accruals. Thus the provisional measurements of fair value set forth below 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.

* Of the $457.4 million, $2.5 million is held in a cash account and represents the 0.54% of shares not yet acquired by the Company. The Company intends to purchase the remaining shares and has offered to purchase them at the same per share price as was provided for the 99.46% of shares obtained. Therefore, the non-controlling interest was valued based on that per-share price.

The historical financial statements of Tekla were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Therefore, the Company adjusted the net tangible assets and liabilities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, the Company recorded adjustments to align Tekla’s accounting policies with that of the Company. The adjustments to measure the assets and liabilities assumed at fair value are described below:

Deferred revenue

The Company reduced Tekla’s book value of deferred revenue by $8.1 million to adjust deferred revenue to the fair value of the direct cost to fulfill the obligations plus an operating margin which represents the expected required return of a market participant to provide the services. Tekla’s deferred revenue balance is related to on-going maintenance agreements.

Upon completion of the research and development projects, the assets will be amortized over the estimated future life of the product as indicated by its anticipated revenue streams evaluated upon completion.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill consisted of Tekla’s highly skilled and valuable assembled workforce, a proven ability to generate new products and services to drive future revenue, and a premium paid by the Company for synergies unique to its business. The Company recorded $291.7 million of goodwill from this acquisition with $246.6 million assigned to the Engineering and Construction segment and $45.1 million assigned to the Field Solutions segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities

The Company recognized $54.0 million in net deferred tax liabilities for the tax effects of differences between fair values in the purchase price and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Tekla contributed $15.2 million of revenue and recorded $1.1 million of operating loss within the business segments. The following table presents pro forma results of operations of the Company and Tekla, as if the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2010, or of future results. Included in the pro forma results are fair value adjustments based on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date of July 8, 2011. Pro-forma results include amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition, interest expense for debt used to purchase Tekla, and income tax effects, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 the pro forma results exclude foreign currency transaction gain/(loss) recognized on a hedge and acquisition related cost associated with the purchase of Tekla.

Credit Facilities

On May 6, 2011, the Company entered into a new credit agreement, (the 2011 Credit Facility), with a group of lenders. This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $400.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility may be increased by up to $300.0 million in the aggregate. The term loan facility may be drawn on or before the 180th day following the date of the 2011 Credit Facility. Additionally, on July 14, 2011, the Company entered into a $50 million uncommitted revolving loan facility (2011 Uncommitted Facility), which is callable by the bank at any time and has no covenants. The interest rate on the 2011 Uncommitted Facility is 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 September 30, 2011, total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $390.0 million and a revolving credit line of $200.0 million under the 2011 Credit Facility and a revolving credit line of $45.0 million under the 2011 Uncommitted Facility. Of the total outstanding balance, $370.0 million of the term loan and the $200.0 million revolving credit line are classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. On May 6, 2011, the Company made an initial borrowing of $151.0 million under the revolving credit line of the 2011 Credit Facility to repay all of the amounts outstanding under the Company’s previous credit agreement.

The funds available under the 2011 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 2011 Credit Facility, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on May 6, 2016, 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 0.20% to 0.40% 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 at April 1, 2016. On an annualized basis, the amortization of the term loan is as follows: 5%, 5%, 10%, 10%, and 70% for years one through five respectively. 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.

Table of Contents

The Company may borrow funds under the 2011 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 0.25% and 1.25%, 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, STIBOR or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.25% and 2.25%, 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 2011 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

The 2011 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by the Company, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2011 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 2011 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 2011 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.5 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 2011 Credit Facility) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not greater than the applicable ratio set forth in the table below; provided, that on the completion of a material acquisition, the Company 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.

On and after June 29, 2012

   3 to 1

The Company was in compliance with these restrictive covenants as of September 30, 2011.

The 2011 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 2011 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.

Promissory Notes and Other

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had promissory notes and other totaling approximately $2.3 million and $2.2 million. Of these amounts, the Company had outstanding notes payable of $1.8 million which consisted primarily of notes payable to noncontrolling interest holders. The notes bear interest at 6% and have undefined payment terms, but are callable with a six month notification.

Leases and Other Commitments

Additionally, the Company has potential obligations related to previous acquisitions. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $5.9 million of holdbacks, which are included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, certain acquisition include additional earn-out cash payments based on future revenue or gross margin derived from existing products and other product milestones. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $5.1 million included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities related to these earn-outs, representing the fair value of the contingent consideration. Additional potential earn-out cash payments in excess of that recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $11.2 million as of September 30, 2011. The remaining payments are based upon targets achieved or events occurring over time that would result in amounts paid that may be lower than the maximum remaining payments. The remaining earn-outs and holdbacks are payable through 2016.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2011, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $68.2 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. These unconditional purchase obligations are related primarily to inventory and other items.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market, and the instruments’ complexity.

Assets and liabilities, recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. 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) These investments are highly liquid investments such as money market funds. 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. As of September 30, 2011 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 included in Level II represent forward currency exchange contracts. The Company enters into these contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables. The derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. The fair values are determined using inputs based on observable quoted prices. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in Other current assets and Other current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents
(4) The Company has seven contingent consideration arrangements that require it to pay the former owners of certain companies it acquired during fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2011. The undiscounted maximum payment under all seven arrangements is $12.9 million, based on future revenues or gross margins over a 3 year period. The Company estimated the fair value of these liabilities using the expected cash flow approach with inputs being probability-weighted revenue or gross margin projections, as the case may be, and discount rates ranging from 0.02% to 3.50%. Of the total contingent consideration liability, $3.0 million and $2.1 million was included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Level III contingent consideration liabilities for the nine month ended September 30, 2011.

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. The fair values do not give an indication of the amount that Trimble would currently have to pay to extinguish any of this debt.

NOTE 11. 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 three 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.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, the Company excluded 2.9 million shares and 2.3 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, the Company excluded 1.6 million and 2.2 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. These shares were excluded from the three and nine month periods because the exercise prices of these stock options were greater than or equal to the average market value of the common shares during the respective periods. Inclusion of these shares would be antidilutive. These options could be included in the calculation in the future if the average market value of the common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price of these options.

NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 9% as compared to 14% in the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to geographic mix of pretax income. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 12% as compared to 43% in the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to geographic mix of pretax income, the closure of the 2008 and 2009 U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination which resulted in a net tax benefit of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $27.5 million net charge in the second quarter of 2010 resulting from the IRS audit settlement of the Company’s 2005 through 2007 tax years.

The 2011 and 2010 third quarter effective tax rates are lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the geographical mix of pre-tax income.

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for the years through 2009 and state income tax matters for years through 1992. Generally, non-U.S. income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2000. The Company is currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by State and foreign taxing authorities. It is possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next twelve months. Such changes could occur based on the normal expiration of various statutes of limitations or the possible conclusion of ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future period was $28.1 million as of September 30, 2011 flat with the balance as of December 31, 2010. The year over year change is flat as the realization was wholly offset by other reserves. 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 continuing 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 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, of $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As described under Note 3, “Shareholders’ Equity”, in October 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (“2011 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of Trimble’s common stock. This authorization superseded the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program, thus there were no remaining authorized funds under the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program. The timing and actual number of future shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without public notice.

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 judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, doubtful accounts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring costs, contingencies, litigation, and other. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the amount and timing of revenue and expense and the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting polices during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from those disclosed in our 2010 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are as follows:

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on fair value measurement and related disclosures. The new guidance clarified the concepts applicable for fair value measurement of non-financial assets and requires the disclosure of quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and will be applied prospectively. We are in the process of evaluating the financial and disclosure impact of this guidance. We do not anticipate a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this amended guidance.

In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option provided by current U.S. GAAP to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, it gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and will be applied retrospectively. We will apply the guidance when it becomes effective.

In August 2011, the FASB approved a revised accounting standard update intended to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The amendment gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity no longer will be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This accounting standard update will be effective for us at the beginning of fiscal 2012 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements.

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

Trimble’s focus is on combining positioning technology with wireless communication and application capabilities to create system-level solutions that enhance productivity and accuracy for our customers. The majority of our markets are end-user markets, including engineering and construction firms, governmental organizations, public safety workers, farmers, and companies who must manage fleets of mobile workers and assets. In our Advanced Devices segment, we also provide components to original equipment manufacturers to incorporate into their

products. In the end-user markets, we provide a system that includes a hardware platform that may contain software and customer support. Some examples of our solutions include products that automate and simplify the process of surveying land, products that automate the utilization of equipment such as tractors and bulldozers, products that enable a company to manage its mobile workforce and assets, and products that allow municipalities to manage their fixed assets. In addition, we also provide software applications on a stand-alone basis. For example, we provide software for project management on construction sites.

Solutions targeted at the end-user make up a significant majority of our revenue. To create compelling products, we must attain an understanding of the end-users’ needs and work flow, and how location-based technology can enable that end-user to work faster, more efficiently, and more accurately. We use this knowledge to create highly innovative products that change the way work is done by the end-user. With the exception of our Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices segments, our products are generally sold through a dealer channel, and it is crucial that we maintain a proficient, global, third-party distribution channel.

We continued to execute our strategy with a series of actions that can be summarized in three categories.

Reinforcing our position in existing markets

* We believe these markets provide us with additional, substantial potential for substituting our technology for traditional methods. In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we are continuing to develop new products and to strengthen our distribution channels in order to expand our market.

In our Engineering and Construction segment, we introduced the Trimble BD910 and BD920 modules to our GNSS OEM portfolio. These small modules feature the latest GNSS technology in an easy-to-integrate form factor for demanding conditions and applications such as field computing, lightweight unmanned vehicles and port automation. We also announced the availability of our next generation AP Series of embedded GNSS-Inertial OEM modules plus Inertial Measurement Units, which feature a high-performance 220 channel multi-frequency GNSS receiver with dual-antenna heading support. Furthermore, we introduced the Trimble CCSFlex Compaction Control System for soil and asphalt compactors which allows contractors to record and display pass count information more efficiently, thereby increasing production while maintaining the quality of each layer. As part of Trimble’s aerial mapping portfolio, we released the 80 megapixel Trimble Aerial Camera, which allows aerial service providers to fly faster or increase ground sampling distance. This enables fixed wing aircraft to deliver results previously only achievable with helicopter campaigns, and is an ideal camera for a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles, further extending its application range.

In our Field solutions segment, we introduced yield monitoring and row guidance capabilities that help farmers record and analyze crop yield and moisture performance in the field, as well as accurately steer combines along rows. Trimble Yield Monitoring allows growers to accurately view and map yield and moisture data as they harvest, providing instant information about the performance of their crop. We also provided new drainage solutions for agricultural water management. The Trimble WM-Drain solution is designed to assist farmers or contractors throughout the entire drainage workflow, including the survey, analysis, design, installation and mapping steps.

In our Mobile Solutions segment, our acquisition of PeopleNet strengthens Trimble’s strategy for addressing the complex regulatory and operational demands of enterprise companies in the transportation and logistics market. PeopleNet is a leading provider of integrated onboard computing and mobile communications systems for effective fleet management that help manage regulatory compliance, fuel costs, driver safety and customer visibility.

All of these products and initiatives strengthened our competitive position and created new value for the user.

Extending our position in new and existing markets through new product categories

* We are utilizing the strength of the Trimble brand in our markets to expand our revenue by bringing new products to new and existing users. In our Advanced Devices segment, our partnership with XECAN, a leading provider of radio frequency identification patient safety solutions, paved the way for the integration of the ThingMagic Astra UHF Reader into the XECAN RFID Oncology Solution. This solution enhances the patient experience and significantly assists in the goal of eliminating treatment errors, allowing healthcare organizations to offer a better and safer medical experience. In addition, our partnership with TagMaster, a leading producer of advanced long-range, RFID systems for automatic identification allows for the integration of ThingMagic Mercury5e (M5e) embedded UHF RFID reader module into TagMaster’s new stationary readers. These solutions are designed for asset tracking applications in the railway industry as well as hands-free solutions for personnel and vehicle access control.

Bringing existing technology to new markets

* We continue to reinforce our position in existing markets and position ourselves in newer markets that will serve as important sources of future growth. New initiatives are focused in emerging markets in Africa, China, India, the Middle-East and Russia. We further expanded our network of SITECH Technology Dealers during the quarter by adding new dealerships to serve geographic markets such as Norway, South America, Tanzania, Nigeria and Central East Russia. These dealers represent the Trimble and Caterpillar machine control systems for the contractor’s entire fleet of heavy equipment regardless of machine brand. We also introduced the availability of our high-accuracy CenterPoint RTX correction service for farmers in Australia. Trimble CenterPoint RTX can deliver better than 4 centimeter accuracies in real time without the use of traditional reference station RTK infrastructure.

Revenue

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, total revenue increased by $99.2 million or 31%, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2010. Of the increase, Engineering and Construction revenue increased $51.5 million, Field Solutions increased $23.9 million, Mobile Solutions increased $20.4 million, and Advanced Devices increased $3.4 million. Revenue growth within Engineering and Construction was driven by acquisitions, including Tekla, and strong organic growth due to expanded distribution. Sales were strong in the U.S. and Europe for heavy and highway and survey products. Additionally, Field Solutions revenue increased primarily due to the increase in demand for agricultural products as relatively high commodity prices led to good farmer income and spending. Mobile Solutions revenue for the three month period increased primarily due to the PeopleNet acquisition and to a lesser extent, growth within the existing business.

Table of Contents

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total revenue increased by $238.3 million or 25%, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2010. Of the increase, Engineering and Construction revenue increased $132.1 million, Field Solutions increased $74.9 million, Mobile Solutions increased $28.9 million, and Advanced Devices increase $2.4 million. Revenue growth within Engineering and Construction was driven by acquisitions, including Tekla, and strong organic growth due to expanded distribution. Additionally, Field Solutions revenue increased primarily due to the increase in demand for agricultural products as relatively high commodity prices led to good farmer income and spending. Mobile Solutions revenue for the nine month period increased primarily due to acquisitions, including PeopleNet, and to a lesser extent, growth within the existing business, partially offset by a loss of a large customer in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Advanced Devices remained relatively flat.

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 $51.8 million and $129.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased sales in Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 50.7%, as compared to 50.2% for the three months ended October 1, 2010. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 50.6%, as compared to 49.7% for the nine months ended October 1, 2010. The increase in gross margin percentage for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to an increase in sales of higher margin products, primarily software and subscription revenue, which were partially offset by higher amortization of purchased intangibles.

Operating Income

Operating income increased by $0.8 million and $19.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by increased operating expenses resulting from acquisitions and higher amortization of purchased intangibles. Intangibles were particularly high in the three month period due to Tekla and other acquisitions. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 7.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 10.0% for the three months ended October 1, 2010. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 10.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 11.2% for the nine months ended October 1, 2010. The decrease in operating income percentage for both the three and nine month periods was primarily due to increased operating expenses resulting from acquisitions and higher amortization of purchased intangibles, partially offset by an increase in revenue and associated gross margin.

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 intangibles, amortization of inventory step-up, acquisition costs and restructuring costs.

Engineering and Construction revenue increased by $51.5 million or 27% and $132.1 million or 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010. Segment operating income increased $6.0 million or 17% and $23.1 million or 26% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010.

The revenue growth for both the three month and nine month periods was primarily driven by strong organic growth and acquisitions. Revenue growth within Engineering and Construction was driven by acquisitions, including Tekla of Tekla and strong organic growth due to expanded distribution. Sales were strong in the U.S. and Europe for heavy and highway and survey products. Although residential and commercial construction was flat in the U.S. and most parts of Europe, and China sales slowed, products sales associated with infrastructure build out were strong. Segment operating income for both the three and nine month periods increased primarily due to higher revenue, higher gross margin, and increased operating leverage.

Field Solutions

Field Solutions revenue increased by $23.9 million or 35% and $74.9 million or 31% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010. Segment operating income increased by $10.0 million or 48% and $36.8 million or 41% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010.

The revenue growth for the three month and nine month periods was primarily due to higher sales across the world for our agricultural products due to expanded product offerings and increased farmer demand for agricultural products as relatively high commodity prices increased farmer income and spending. Sales for agricultural products were robust across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions. Additionally, to a lesser extent, GIS contributed to strong Field Solutions revenue due to the new product introductions. Segment operating income for both the three and nine month periods increased primarily due to higher revenue, higher gross margin, and increased operating leverage.

Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions revenue increased by $20.4 million or 54% and $28.9 million or 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010. Segment operating income increased by $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and decreased by $3.7 million or 171% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010.

Mobile Solutions revenue for the three month period increased primarily due to the PeopleNet acquisition and to a lesser extent, growth within the existing business. The revenue increase for the nine month period was primarily due to acquisitions including PeopleNet and to a lesser extent, growth within the existing business, partially offset by a loss of a large customer in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in operating income for the three month period was primarily due to the PeopleNet acquisition and to a lesser extent, organic growth. The decrease in operating income for the nine month period was primarily due to the loss of a large customer in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, partially offset by PeopleNet’s contribution to operating income and to a lesser extent, growth within the existing business.

Advanced Devices

Advanced Devices revenue increased by $3.4 million or 15% and $2.4 million or 3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010. Segment operating income decreased by $0.1 million or 3% and $4.4 million or 30% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010.

The increase in revenue for both the three month and nine month periods was driven by new product introductions within Applanix and acquisition revenue, partially offset by a reduction in demand for GPS-based timing and synchronization devices. The decrease in operating income for both the three month and nine month periods was primarily driven by product mix and acquisitions.

Overall, R&D, S&M, and G&A expense increased by approximately $44.9 million and $101.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2010.

Research and development expense increased by $13.0 million and $30.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010. All of our R&D costs have been expensed as incurred. Costs of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility were not considered material and were expensed as incurred. Spending overall was at approximately 12% of revenue in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 12% and 11% in the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010

The increase in R&D expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to the inclusion of expense of $9.5 million from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period, a $0.8 million increase in engineering costs associated with new product roll-outs, a $1.5 million increase due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, and a $0.6 million increase in compensation related expense.

The increase in R&D expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2010 was primarily due to the inclusion of expense of $15.4 million from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period, a $5.8 million increase in engineering costs associated with new product roll-outs, a $3.2 million increase in compensation related expense, a $0.6 million increase in travel expense and a $3.8 million increase due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.

* 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 $17.4 million and $41.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010. Spending overall was approximately 17% of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 16% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 17% and 16% in the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010.

The increase in S&M expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to the inclusion of a $11.6 million expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $2.8 million increase in compensation related expense, a $1.6 million increase in tradeshow related expenses, and a $1.8 million increase due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.

The increase in S&M expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to the inclusion of a $23.8 million expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $8.7 million increase in compensation related expense, a $2.3 million increase in tradeshow related expenses, a $2.0 million increase in travel expense, and a $4.7 million increase due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates.

* 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 $14.5 million and $29.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010. Spending overall was at approximately 10% of revenue in the three nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 9% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 9% in the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010.

The increase in G&A expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2010 was primarily due the inclusion of expense of $11.8 million from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year, a $1.5 million increase in tax, legal and consulting expense, a $0.9 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $0.7 increase due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, and a $2.9 million increase in other expenses, which was partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in bad debt expense and a $2.6 million decrease in compensation related expense.

The increase in G&A expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2010 was primarily due the inclusion of expense of $22.7 million from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year, a $2.9 million increase in tax, legal and consulting expense, a $2.8 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. A $1.6 million increase due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, and a $3.9 million increase in other expenses, which was partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in bad debt expense and a $1.3 million decrease in compensation related expense.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets

Amortization of purchased intangible assets was $24.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to $14.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Of the total $24.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, $13.8 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense and $10.3 million is included within Cost of sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The increase was due primarily to Tekla and PeopleNet and to a lesser extent, other acquisitions and asset purchases not included in the corresponding period of fiscal 2010. As of September 30, 2011, future amortization of intangible assets is expected to be $29.2 million during the remaining one quarter of fiscal 2011, $108.8 million during 2012, $101.9 million during 2013, $79.8 million during 2014, $68.1 million during 2015, and $128.4 million thereafter.

Non-operating income (expense), net decreased $9.2 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months of fiscal 2011, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2010. The decrease in the three month period was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency transaction gain (loss) of which $2.2 million was a loss on a hedge associated with the purchase of Tekla, an increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt associated with acquisitions, changes in deferred compensation plan asset gains and losses included in Other expense, net, partially offset by an increase in income from equity method investments. The decrease in the nine month period was primarily due to an increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt associated with acquisitions, changes in deferred compensation plan asset gains and losses included in Other expense, net, offset by the impact of foreign currency transaction gain (loss) of which $3.5 million was a gain on a hedge associated with the purchase of Tekla, and the impact of higher income from equity method investments.

Income Tax Provision

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, our effective income tax rate was 9% as compared to 14% in the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to geographic mix of pretax income. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our effective income tax rate was 12% as compared to 43% in the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to geographic mix of pretax income, the closure of the 2008 and 2009 U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination which resulted in a net tax benefit of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to $27.5 million net charge in the second quarter of 2010 resulting from the IRS audit settlement of the Company’s 2005 through 2007 tax years.

The 2011 and 2010 third quarter effective tax rates are lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the geographical mix of pre-tax income.

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 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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $138.3 million as compared to $220.8 million at December 31, 2010. Debt was $637.3 million as of September 30, 2011, as compared to $153.2 million at December 31, 2010.

* 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 our term loan and revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs, acquisition purchases, and stock purchases under the stock repurchase program for at least the next twelve months.

* We anticipate that planned capital expenditures primarily for 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 $161.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $87.0 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2010. This increase of $74.8 million was primarily driven by an increase in net income before non-cash depreciation and amortization primarily attributable to Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions segments’ increased revenue and the payment of income taxes payable associated with the IRS tax settlement from last year, offset by an increase in accounts receivable due to higher revenue from Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions segments.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $771.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $109.1 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2010. The increase of $662.7 million was due to higher cash requirements for business and intangible asset acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $528.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to cash used of $40.5 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2010. The increase of $568.6 million was primarily due to proceeds from long-term debt and revolving credit lines for business acquisitions, an increase in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock related to stock option exercises, offset by the repurchase of common stock during the first nine months of fiscal 2010, and by payments on long-term debt and debt issuance costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

Accounts Receivable and Inventory Metrics

 

As of

   September 30,
2011
     December 31,
2010
 

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding

     63         63   

Inventory turns per year

     3.6         3.8   

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were both 63 days as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding is 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 3.6 as of September 30, 2011, as compared to 3.8 as of December 31, 2010. 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

A significant portion of our foreign earnings continue to be permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries and it is anticipated this reinvestment will not impede cash needs at the parent company level. In our determination of which foreign earning 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 2011 Credit Facility or the tax costs of remitting foreign earnings back to the U.S.

Debt

On May 6, 2011, we entered into a new credit agreement, our 2011 Credit Facility, with a group of lenders. This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $400.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility may be increased by up to $300.0 million in the aggregate. The term loan facility may be drawn on or before the 180th day following the date of the 2011 Credit Facility. Additionally, on July 14, 2011, we entered into a $50 million uncommitted revolving loan facility, which we call 2011 Uncommitted Facility. This facility is callable by the bank at any time and has no covenants. The interest rate on the 2011 Uncommitted Facility is 1.00% plus either LIBOR, or the bank’s cost of funds or as otherwise agreed upon by the bank and us.

As of September 30, 2011, our total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $390.0 million and a revolving credit line of $200.0 million under the 2011 Credit Facility and a revolving credit line of $45.0 million under the 2011 Uncommitted Facility. Of the total outstanding balance, $370.0 million of the term loan and $200.0 million of the revolving credit line are classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had promissory notes and other totaling approximately $2.3 million and $2.2 million. Of these amounts, we had outstanding notes payable of $1.8 million which consisted primarily of notes payable to noncontrolling interest holders. The notes bear interest at 6% and have undefined payment terms, but are callable with a six month notification. On May 6, 2011, we made an initial borrowing of $151.0 million under the revolving credit line of the 2011 Credit Facility to repay all of the amounts outstanding under our previous credit agreement.

The funds available under the 2011 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 2011 Credit Facility, we may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on May 6, 2016, 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 0.20% to 0.40% 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 at April 1, 2016. On an annualized basis, the amortization of the term loan is as follows: 5%, 5%, 10%, 10%, and 70% for years one through five respectively. 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.

Table of Contents

We may borrow funds under the 2011 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 0.25% and 1.25%, 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, STIBOR or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.25% and 2.25%, 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 2011 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of our domestic subsidiaries.

The 2011 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by us, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2011 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 2011 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 2011 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.5 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 2011 Credit Facility) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not greater than the applicable ratio set forth in the table below; 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 restrictive covenants as of September 30, 2011.

The 2011 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 2011 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To help our investors understand our past financial performance and our future results, as well as our performance relative to competitors, we supplement the financial results that we provide in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures can be used to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance, as well as our performance relative to competitors. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, and to make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Further, 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.

The specific non-GAAP measures which we use along with a reconciliation to the nearest comparable GAAP measures and the explanation for why these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations and why management chose to exclude selected items can be found at the end of this release. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. Our non-GAAP results are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the following table are set forth below. Detailed explanations to the adjustment to comparable GAAP measures are provided as notes to the table.

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 intangibles, 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.

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 intangibles, stock-based compensation and acquisition costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration costs 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

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 intangibles, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up and acquisition costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration costs. 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 (expense), net

We believe this measure helps investors evaluate our non-operating income (expense) trends. Non-GAAP non-operating income (expense), net excludes acquisition costs associated with unusual acquisition related items such as a gain on bargain purchase (resulting from the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the consideration transferred), adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities and payments made or received to settle earn-out and holdback disputes. These costs are specific to particular acquisitions and vary significantly in amount and timing. Non-GAAP non-operating income (expense), net also excludes the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with a terminated credit facility as well as a foreign exchange gain specifically associated with one of our acquisitions. We believe that these exclusions provide investors with a supplemental view of our ongoing financial results.

Non-GAAP income tax provision

Investors benefit from the exclusion of an IRS settlement because it facilitates comparisons to our past income tax provision. Non-GAAP income tax provision excludes an IRS settlement from GAAP income tax provision and includes non-GAAP items tax effected. 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 intangibles, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition costs, the write-off of debt issuance costs, a foreign exchange gain associated with an acquisition, the IRS settlement, 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 intangibles, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition costs, the write-off of debt issuance costs, a foreign exchange gain associated with an acquisition, the IRS settlement, 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.

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.
B. Amortization of purchased intangibles. Included in our GAAP presentation of gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, and net income is amortization of purchased intangibles. 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 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 purchased intangibles which represents technology and/or customer relationships already developed, it enhances comparability by allowing investors to compare our operations pre-acquisition to those post-acquisitions and to those of our competitors that have pursued internal growth strategies.
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 three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:

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 costs (gain). 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 (expense), net, acquisition costs include unusual acquisition related items such as a gain on bargain purchase (resulting from the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the consideration transferred), adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities and payments made or received to settle earn-out and holdback disputes. 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. Debt issuance cost write-off. Included in our non-operating income (expense), net, this amount represents a write-off of debt issuance cost for a terminated credit facility. We excluded the debt issuance cost write-off from our non-GAAP measures. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our non-operating income (expense), net to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our non-operating income (expense), net trends.
G. Foreign exchange gains associated with acquisition. This amount represents a gain on foreign exchange associated with the Tekla acquisition. We excluded the foreign exchange gain from our non-GAAP measures because we believe that the exclusion of this item provides investors an enhanced view of the cost structure of our operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods.
H. Non-GAAP items tax effected. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items (A) – (G) 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.
I. IRS settlement. This amount represents a net charge of $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 resulting from the IRS audit settlement. We excluded this because it is not indicative of our future operating results. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this charge from our operating results to facilitate comparisons to past operating performance.
J. 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.
K. 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 $2.7 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, respectively and $7.6 million and $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and October 1, 2010, respectively.

Non-GAAP Operating Income

Non-GAAP operating income increased by $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 17.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 16.5% for the three months ended October 1, 2010. Non-GAAP operating income increased by $52.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 18.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 17.6% for the nine months ended October 1, 2010.The increase in operating income both the three and nine month periods was primarily driven by higher revenue in Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions. The increase in operating income percentage for both the three and nine month periods was primarily due to increased operating leverage in Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions.

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

Our cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market funds, treasury bills, commercial paper (FDIC insured), interest and non-interest bearing bank deposits. The main objective of these instruments was safety of principal and liquidity while maximizing return, without significantly increasing risk.

* Due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents, we do not anticipate any material effect on our portfolio due to fluctuations in interest rates.

Table of Contents

We are exposed to market risk due to the possibility of changing interest rates under our senior secured credit facilities. Our credit facility is comprised of an unsecured term loan and revolving credit agreement with maturity dates of May 2016 and also an unsecured uncommitted revolving credit agreement that is callable by the bank at any time. We may borrow bunds under these facilities in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies and borrowings will bear interest as described under Note 9 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of September 30, 2011, our total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $390.0 million and a revolving credit line of $200.0 million under the 2011 Credit Facility and a revolving credit line of $45.0 million under the 2011 Uncommitted Facility. A hypothetical 10% increase in the one-month LIBOR rates could result in approximately $152,000 annual increase in interest expense on the existing principal balances.

*The hypothetical changes and assumptions made above will be different from what actually occurs in the future. Furthermore, the computations do not anticipate actions that may be taken by our management should the hypothetical market changes actually occur over time. As a result, actual earnings effects in the future will differ from those quantified above.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on cash and certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Australian, Canadian, Singapore and New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, South African Rand, Swedish Krona, Euro, and British pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in 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 exchange forward contracts for trading purposes.

Foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

 

     September 30, 2011     December 31, 2010

* 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

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 their 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 2010 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 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, however, please see our updated risk factor entitled

“Our Debt Could Adversely Affect Our Cash Flow and Prevent Us From Fulfilling Our Financial Obligations”, included below. 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.

Our Debt Could Adversely Affect Our Cash Flow and Prevent Us from Fulfilling Our Financial Obligations

We have existing unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion comprised of five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $400.0 million term loan facility and also an uncommitted revolving loan facility of $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2011, we had a total of $635.0 million debt outstanding on these facilities. Of the $635.0 million, we drew down $151.0 to repay all of the amounts outstanding under our previous credit agreement, $558.0 million to fund the purchase of acquisitions and made repayments of $74.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Debt incurred under the credit agreements could have important consequences, such as:

 

   

requiring us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations and other capital resources to debt service, thereby reducing our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other cash requirements,

 

   

increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions,

 

   

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes and opportunities in, our industry, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage, and

 

   

limiting our ability to incur additional debt on acceptable terms, if at all.

Additionally, if we were to default under the credit agreement and were unable to obtain a waiver for such a default, interest on the obligations would accrue at an increased rate and the lenders could accelerate our obligations under the credit agreement, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default. Additionally, our subsidiaries that have guaranteed the credit agreement could be required to pay the full amount of our obligations under the credit agreement. Any such action on the part of the lenders against us could harm our financial condition.

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 2010 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 2010 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.
