NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED
NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Trimble Navigation Limited (Trimble or the Company) began operations in 1978 and incorporated in California in 1981. The Company provides technology solutions that enable professionals and field mobile workers to improve or transform their work processes. The solutions are used across a range of industries including agriculture, architecture, civil engineering, construction, environmental management, government, natural resources, transportation and utilities. Representative customers include engineering and construction firms, contractors, surveying companies, farmers and agricultural companies, enterprise firms with large-scale fleets, energy, mining and utility companies, and state, federal and municipal governments.

Products frequently provide a good return on investment for customers through lower operational costs, higher productivity, improved quality, enhanced safety and compliance and reduced environmental impact. Product examples include: equipment that automates large industrial equipment such as tractors and bulldozers; surveying instruments; integrated systems that track fleets of vehicles and workers and provide real-time information and powerful analytics to the back-office; data collection systems that enable the management of large amounts of geo-referenced information; software solutions that connect all aspects of a construction site or farm; and building information modeling (BIM) software that is used throughout the design, build, and operation of buildings. The Company also manufactures components for in-vehicle navigation and telematics systems and timing modules used in the synchronization of wireless networks.
The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2013 was January 3, 2014. The third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013 ended on October 3, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively. Fiscal 2014 is a 52-week year and 2013 is a 53-week year. 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 the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013 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 fiscal year end 2013 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Trimble Navigation Limited for fiscal year 2013. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 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 necessary have been made to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 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.
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date that these financial statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company has presented revenue and cost of sales separately for products, service and subscriptions. Product revenue includes primarily hardware, software licenses, parts and accessories; service revenue includes primarily hardware and software maintenance and support, training and professional services; subscription revenue includes software as a service (SaaS).
Certain immaterial amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including certain line items within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
NOTE 2. UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting polices during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that generally requires the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Trimble adopted this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The implementation had no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014; however, early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. The Company will adopt the amendments beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of this change.
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will amend the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. The Company is unable to determine at this time whether adoption of the standard will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 
NOTE 3. GAIN ON EQUITY SALE
In October, 2008, VirtualSite Solutions (VSS), a business formed by the Company and Caterpillar began operations. The Company originally had a 65% ownership and Caterpillar had a 35% ownership in VSS. VSS develops software for fleet management and connected worksite solutions for both Caterpillar and Trimble and in turn, sells software subscription services to Caterpillar and Trimble, which are sold through Caterpillar's and the Company's respective distribution channels. For financial reporting purposes, VSS’s assets and liabilities were consolidated with those of the Company, as were its results of operations, which were reported under the Engineering and Construction segment. Caterpillar’s 35% interest was included in the overall Consolidated Financial Statements as Noncontrolling interest.
Effective January 4, 2014, the Company sold 15% of its ownership in VSS to Caterpillar resulting in both the Company and Caterpillar owning 50% of the VSS joint venture. After the sale the Company no longer held a controlling interest in VSS. The sale of the 15% ownership resulted in the deconsolidation of VSS and a gain in the amount of $15.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Of this amount, $8.5 million relates to the remeasurement of the Company's retained interest to fair value which was measured using a combination of the income and market approaches. The total gain is included in Other income (loss), net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The new 50% investment in VSS is classified as an equity method investment.
NOTE 4. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock Repurchase Activities
In August 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (“2014 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $300.0 million of Trimble’s common stock, replacing a stock repurchase program which has been in place since 2011 and had $52.3 million remaining unused. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, under the provisions of both the 2014 and 2011 Stock Repurchase Programs, the Company repurchased approximately 2,083,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases, all of which were made in the third quarter, at an average price of $31.20 per share, for a total of $65.0 million. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the third and first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The purchase price was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average book value per share for all outstanding shares calculated for each individual repurchase transaction. The excess of the purchase price over this average for each repurchase was charged to retained earnings. As a result, retained earnings was reduced by $55.5 million in the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014. 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. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the 2014 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $282.8 million. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share buyback programs, tender offers, or by other means. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for its employee stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) under the fair value method, which requires stock-based compensation to be estimated using the fair value on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. 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.

Fair value of Trimble Options
Stock option expense recognized in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is based on the fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is expected to vest during the period and is net of estimated forfeitures. The Company’s compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, typically four to five years. The fair values for stock options are estimated on the date of grant using the binomial valuation model. The binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate and risk free interest rate. In addition, the binomial model incorporates actual option-pricing behavior and changes in volatility over the option’s contractual term. For options granted during the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the following weighted average assumptions were used:

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 Options – 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.
Fair value of Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units are converted into shares of Trimble common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. Vesting of restricted stock units is subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company. The compensation expense related to these awards is determined using the fair value of Trimble’s common stock on the date of grant, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Restricted stock units typically vest at the end of three years.

Fair value of Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, rights to purchase shares are generally granted during the second and fourth quarter of each year. The fair value of rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
NOTE 5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
During first three quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company acquired ten businesses, all with cash consideration, across its Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, and Mobile Solutions segments. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income include the operating results of the businesses from the dates of acquisition. None of the acquisitions were significant individually or in the aggregate. The purchase prices ranged from less than $1.0 million to $83.1 million. The largest acquisitions were of a company that provides product in real estate and facility management software and a manufacturer of wireless and hardwired crane safety instrumentation. Both acquisitions are within the Engineering and Construction segment. In the aggregate, the businesses acquired during fiscal 2014 collectively contributed less than one percent to the Company's total revenue during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014.
The Company determined the total consideration paid for each of its acquisitions as well as the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. For certain acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and may be adjusted as the Company obtains additional information, primarily related to adjustments for the true up of acquired net working capital in accordance with certain purchase agreements, and estimated values of certain net tangible assets and liabilities including tax balances, pending the completion of final studies and analyses. If there are adjustments made for these items, the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill could be impacted. Thus the provisional measurements of fair value 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.
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 value of intangible assets acquired is generally determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Acquisition costs directly related to the acquisitions of $4.1 million and $7.4 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively and $2.9 million and $9.3 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, respectively, were expensed as incurred and were included in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The following table summarizes the Company’s business combinations completed during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014.

NOTE 7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Trimble is a designer and distributor of positioning products and applications enabled by GPS, optical, laser, and wireless communications technology. The Company provides products for diverse applications in its targeted markets.
To achieve distribution, marketing, production and technology advantages, the Company manages its operations in the following four segments:
Engineering and Construction — Consists of hardware and software solutions for a variety of applications including:  survey, heavy civil and building construction, infrastructure, geospatial, railway, mining and utilities.

Field Solutions — Consists of hardware and software solutions for applications including agriculture, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS), utilities, and energy distribution.

Mobile Solutions — Consists of hardware and software solutions that enable end-users to monitor and manage their mobile work, mobile workers and mobile assets.
Advanced Devices — The various operations that comprise this segment are aggregated on the basis that these operations, taken as a whole, do not exceed 10% of the Company’s total revenue, operating income and assets. This segment is comprised of the Embedded Technologies and Timing, Military and Advanced Systems, Applanix, Trimble Outdoors, and ThingMagic businesses.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), its Chief Executive Officer, evaluates each of its segment’s performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income before income taxes and some corporate allocations. The Company and each of its segments employ consistent accounting policies. In each of its segments the Company sells many individual products. For this reason it is impractical to segregate and identify revenue for each of these individual products or groups of products.
The following table presents revenue, operating income, depreciation expense and identifiable assets for the four segments. Operating income is revenue less cost of sales and operating expense, excluding general corporate expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition costs and restructuring costs. The identifiable assets that the CODM views by segment are accounts receivable, inventories and goodwill.

Credit Facilities
On November 21, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “2012 Credit Facility”). This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $700.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2012 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility may be increased, and/or additional term loan commitments may be established, in an aggregate principal amount up to $300.0 million. The Company also has two $75 million uncommitted revolving loan facilities (the “Uncommitted Facilities”), which are callable by the bank at any time and have no covenants. The interest rate for the Uncommitted Facilities is 0.9% to 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 the third quarter of fiscal 2014, total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $638.8 million. Of the total outstanding balance, $577.5 million of the term loan is classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The funds available under the 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on November 21, 2017, 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 0.15% to 0.35% 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 on September 29, 2017, with the remaining outstanding balance being due and payable at maturity on November 21, 2017. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan facility totaling $8.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2014, $70.0 million in fiscal 2015, $70.0 million in fiscal 2016, and the remaining balance of $490.0 million in fiscal 2017. 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.
The Company may borrow funds under the 2012 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 0.00% and 1.00%, 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, or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.00% and 2.00%, 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 2012 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.
The 2012 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by the Company, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2012 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 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.00 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 2012 Credit Facility) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not greater than 3 to 1; provided, that on

Table of Contents

the completion of a material acquisition, the Company may increase the ratio by 0.25 for the fiscal quarter during which such acquisition occurred and each of the three subsequent fiscal quarters.
The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
The 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.
The weighted average interest rate on the current portion of the long-term debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility and Uncommitted Facilities was 1.41% and 1.31% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively. The interest rate on the non-current debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility was 1.41% and 1.67% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively.
Promissory Notes and Other Debt
As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, the Company had promissory notes and other debt totaling approximately $8.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $127.2 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.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. 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.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, and is categorized as Level I in the fair value hierarchy. 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, and is categorized as Level II in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values do not give an indication of the amount that the Company would currently have to pay to extinguish any of this debt.
NOTE 10. 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 5.5 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.
Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 are as follows:

NOTE 11. INCOME PER SHARE
Basic income per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Trimble Navigation Ltd. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and unvested restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted income per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted income per share:

For the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company excluded 1.7 million and 3.5 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted income per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company excluded 0.5 million and 3.0 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted income per share.
NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES
In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company’s effective income tax rate was a tax benefit of 66% as compared to a tax expense of 14% in the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc., slightly offset by differences in the geographic mix of pretax income and the expiration of the federal R&D credit.  In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 19% as compared to 15% in the corresponding period in 2013 due to the difference in the geographic mix of pretax income, the tax effect of a gain on a partial equity sale of VSS, and the expiration of the federal R&D credit, largely offset by the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc.
Historically, the Company's effective tax rate has been lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions. The Company has not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings due to the indefinite reinvestment of some of those earnings outside the U.S.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state, and foreign income tax. The Company is currently in different stages of multiple year examinations by the Internal Revenue Service as well as various state and foreign taxing authorities. Although timing of the resolution of audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 will materially change in the next twelve months.
The unrecognized tax benefits of $44.5 million and $38.1 million as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. 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 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 as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, of $4.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
NOTE 13. LITIGATION
On August 9, 2013, the Harbinger Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Deere & Co., Garmin International, Inc., the Company and two other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan in connection with the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs allege, among other things, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, claiming that the defendants were aware of material facts that caused the Federal Communications Commission to take adverse action against LightSquared and affirmatively misrepresented and failed to disclose those facts prior to the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs seek $1.9 billion in damages from the defendants. On November 1, 2013, debtor LightSquared, Inc. and two related parties (“LightSquared Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the same defendants in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The LightSquared Plaintiffs assert claims similar to those made by the Harbinger Plaintiffs, as well as additional claims, including

18

Table of Contents

breach of contract and tortious interference, and allege that LightSquared invested billions of dollars in reliance on the promises and representations of defendants. On January 31, 2014, the U.S. District Court granted defendants’ motion to withdraw the LightSquared action from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court so it will proceed together with the Harbinger action before the U.S. District Court. Although an unfavorable outcome of these litigation matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results, liquidity, or financial position, the Company believes the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously contest these lawsuits.
On September 2, 2011, Recreational Data Services, Inc. filed an action against the Company alleging misrepresentation and breach of contract arising from an unsuccessful business venture of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. The Company believed this suit lacked any basis in law or fact and attempted to have the case dismissed on legal grounds prior to trial. These efforts were not successful and the case was tried in front of a jury in Alaska beginning on September 9, 2014. On September 26, 2014, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff damages of $51.3 million. The Company believes that the jury's verdict is unsupported and intends to vigorously pursue all available avenues to have the verdict overturned. Since a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff was rendered, the Company determined it had a probable and estimable loss for which the Company recorded an expense within the financial statements. This expense is included within General and administrative expense and is classified as a current liability as the timing of the payment is uncertain. If the verdict is overturned either as a result of post-trial motions or through the appeals process, the expense and related liability will be reversed in the period this occurs.
From time to time, the Company is also involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no other material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of the Company's or its subsidiaries' property is subject.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In the fourth quarter through November 7, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 1,152,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $28.45 per share pursuant to its existing stock repurchase program (the “2014 Stock Repurchase Program”). The total purchase price of $32.8 million will be reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average stated value per share with the remainder to retained earnings. As of November 7, 2014, the 2014 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $250.0 million.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Actual results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” below and elsewhere in this report as well as in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2013 and other reports and documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has attempted to identify forward-looking statements in this report by placing an asterisk (*) before paragraphs. Discussions containing such forward-looking statements may be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Company disclaims any obligation to update these statements or to explain the reasons why actual results may differ.
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 assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact us in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting polices during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 from those disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that generally requires the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. We adopted this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The implementation had no material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014; however, early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. We will adopt the amendments beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. We do not anticipate a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of this change.
In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will amend the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the standard. We are unable to determine at this time whether adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW
Trimble's focus is on integrating its broad technological and application capabilities to create system-level solutions that transform how work is done within the industries we serve, enhancing productivity, accuracy, safety and regulatory compliance for our customers. The majority of our markets are end-user markets, including engineering and construction firms, surveyors, farmers, governmental organizations, energy and utility companies and organizations that must manage fleets of mobile workers and assets. We also provide components to original equipment manufacturers to incorporate into their products. In the end-user markets, we provide stand-alone systems which may consist of software, hardware or some combination of the two, as well as integrated enterprise or workflow solutions which address the entire work process. We manage our operations in the following four segments: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Mobile Solutions, and Advanced Devices.

In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, total revenue increased by $142.8 million or 8%, as compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. Of this increase, product revenue increased $86.8 million or 7%, service revenue increased $40.1 million or 16%, and subscription revenue increased $15.9 million or 8%.
For the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, product revenue growth was driven primarily by growth across Engineering and Construction, partially offset by a decrease in Field Solutions product revenue primarily due to softness in agriculture markets. Service revenue was primarily driven by growth in Engineering and Construction and Mobile Solutions software maintenance fees. Subscription revenue was driven by growth in Mobile Solutions subscription services, partially offset by Virtual Site Solutions which was included in subscription revenue in the prior year. However, in fiscal 2014 Virtual Site Solutions became a joint venture, accounted for as an equity method investment. Revenue growth was primarily organic growth and to a lesser extent, the impact of the acquisitions which were not applicable in the prior period. We consider organic growth to include all revenue except for revenue associated with acquisitions made within the last four quarters.
On a segment basis, Engineering and Construction revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $31.7 million or 10% and Mobile Solutions increased $7.6 million or 7%, partially offset by a decrease in Field Solutions of $10.7 million or 11% and Advanced Devices of $0.3 million or 1%, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Engineering and Construction revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 increased $128.7 million or 14%, Mobile Solutions increased $23.4 million or 7%, Advanced Devices increased $12.1 million or 13%, partially offset by decrease in Field Solutions of $21.4 million or 6%, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013.
For the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, revenue growth within Engineering and Construction was driven by growth due to continued market penetration and continued improvement in the U.S for construction and geospatial products. Mobile Solutions increased due to growth in the transportation and logistics market. Advanced Devices revenue increased primarily due to stronger sales of embedded and timing component products. Field Solutions revenue decreased primarily due to softness in agricultural markets.
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 $21.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and increased by $113.9 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013, primarily due to increased revenue in Engineering and Construction and to a lesser extent, Mobile Solutions. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was 54.2%, as compared to 53.0% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, and was 54.5% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to 52.4% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales of higher margin products, primarily software, maintenance, and subscription revenue, primarily due to organic growth, particularly in Engineering and Construction and in Mobile Solutions.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased by $51.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, and decreased by $0.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 1.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to 11.3% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013, and was 10.0% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to 10.9% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2013.
The decrease in operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to a $51.3 million litigation reserve and the impact of acquisitions. The operating income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 was relatively flat, due to increased revenue and gross margin expansion, offset by a $51.3 million litigation reserve. The decrease in operating income percentages for both periods was primarily also due to the litigation reserve, partially offset by gross margin improvements due to higher margin software, maintenance, and subscription revenue, particularly in Engineering and Construction.

Table of Contents

Revenue growth for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 was driven primarily by continued organic growth due to global sales of construction and geospatial products, particularly in the U.S. The U.S. markets continued to improve, however, European markets demonstrated some slowness in growth. Increased market penetration contributed to growth due to continuing adoption of our products, particularly in the construction industry as technology is playing a broader role in increasing productivity and reducing costs. Our newer product solutions integrate both hardware and software technologies across an entire work flow. Segment operating income decreased for the third quarter primarily due to the impact of third quarter acquisitions. Segment operating income increased for the first three quarters primarily due to higher revenue and product mix, including higher software, maintenance and subscription revenue, partially offset by the impact of third quarter acquisitions.
Field Solutions
Field Solutions revenue decreased by $10.7 million or 11% and $21.4 million or 6% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Segment operating income decreased by $6.2 million or 20% and $17.5 million or 13% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.
Field Solution revenue decreased for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, primarily due to softness in agriculture markets where the market environment grew significantly more difficult in the quarter. On a macroeconomic level, commodity prices and farmer income are both down. Large cutbacks coming from elements of our distribution and OEM customers contributed to the sales slowdown in North America, South America and Europe. To the extent this trend continues, our results of operations will be further impacted. The agriculture decrease was partially offset by an increase in Geographic Information System (GIS) sales. 
Mobile Solutions
Mobile Solutions revenue increased by $7.6 million or 7% and $23.4 million or 7% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Segment operating income increased by $2.9 million or 19% and $12.5 million or 30% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.
Mobile Solutions revenue increased for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, primarily due to continued organic growth in the transportation and logistics market, which focuses on enterprise solutions. The majority of the sales are in the U.S., however there is continuing focus on geographic expansion. Operating income increased due to increased revenue and product mix, including higher software, maintenance and subscription revenue.
Advanced Devices
Advanced Devices revenue decreased by $0.3 million or 1% for the third quarter, and increased by $12.1 million or 13% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Segment operating income increased by $0.7 million or 8% and $11.4 million or 53% for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.
The flat revenue and operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to decreased sales of inertial/GNSS positioning and orientation systems, offset by increased sales of timing components. The increase in revenue and operating income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 was due to increased sales of timing, inertial/GNSS positioning and orientation systems, and military specific products.

Overall, R&D, S&M and G&A expense increased by approximately $75.4 million and $121.6 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013.
Research and development expense increased by $7.3 million and $15.4 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. Research and development spending overall was at approximately 14% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and was approximately 13% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013. The cost of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility was not material and was expensed as incurred.
The increase in R&D expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, the inclusion of $3.5 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period and a $3.0 million increase in other expense.
The increase in R&D expense in the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, the inclusion of $8.4 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period and a $4.6 million increase in other expense.
* 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 $10.3 million and $34.4 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013. Sales and marketing spending overall was at approximately 16% of revenue in both the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and was approximately 15% of revenue in both the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2013.
The increase in Sales and marketing expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, the inclusion $3.6 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $1.2 million increase in travel/marketing cost primarily due to global dealer meetings and trade shows and a $2.5 million increase in other expense.
The increase in Sales and marketing expense in the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $13.1 million increase in compensation related expense due to headcount increases, the inclusion of $8.1 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior corresponding period, a $6.5 million increase in travel/marketing cost primarily due to global dealer meetings and trade shows, a $1.2 million increase due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates and a $5.5 million increase in other expense.
* 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 $57.8 million and $71.8 million for the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013. General and administrative spending overall was at approximately 19% and 13% of revenue in the third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to 10% in both the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013.

Table of Contents

The increase in G&A expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $51.3 million litigation reserve, the inclusion of $3.2 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $1.2 million increase in acquisition costs, a $1.1 million increase in bad debt expense and a $1.0 million increase in other expense.
The increase in G&A expenses in the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $51.3 million litigation reserve, the inclusion of $6.7 million in expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior period, a $4.9 million increase in compensation related expense, a $2.0 million increase in bad debt expense, a $3.4 million increase in telecommunication expense and a $5.7 million increase in other expense, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in acquisition costs.
Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets
Amortization of purchased intangible assets was $39.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to $41.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Of the total $39.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, $19.3 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense and $20.1 million is presented as a separate line within Cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The decrease was due to the expiration of amortization for prior acquisitions, partially offset by acquisitions not included in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, future amortization of intangible assets is expected to be $39.3 million during the remaining quarter of fiscal 2014, $150.3 million during 2015, $131.6 million during 2016, $110.0 million during 2017, $79.6 million during 2018 and $61.2 million thereafter.

Non-operating income (loss), net decreased $4.4 million for the third quarter and increased $8.3 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2013. The decrease for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency transaction fluctuations and a decrease in profitability from joint ventures, partially offset by lower interest expense. The increase for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to a gain on a partial equity sale of Virtual Site Solutions (included in Other income (loss), net) and lower interest expense, partially offset by lower profitability from joint ventures and the impact of foreign currency transaction fluctuations.
Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was a tax benefit of 66%, as compared to a tax expense of 14% in the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc., slightly offset by differences in the geographic mix of pretax income and the expiration of the federal R&D credit.  In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, our effective income tax rate was 19% as compared to 15% in the corresponding period in 2013 due to the difference in the geographic mix of pretax income, the tax effect of a gain on a partial equity sale of VSS, and the expiration of the federal R&D credit, largely offset by the discrete tax benefit of a $51.3 million litigation reserve in the U.S. related to Recreational Data Services, Inc.
Historically, our effective tax rate has been lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions. We have not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings due to the indefinite reinvestment of some of those earnings outside the U.S.
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 the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $139.5 million as compared to $147.2 million as of fiscal year end 2013. Debt was $646.7 million as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to $758.5 million as of fiscal year end 2013.
* 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 borrowings under our 2012 Credit Facility as described below under the heading “Debt”, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs, debt service, planned capital expenditures, and stock purchases under the stock repurchase program for at least the next twelve months.
* We anticipate that planned capital expenditures primarily for an upgrade of our Oracle ERP system, as well as 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 $310.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to $278.4 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The increase of $32.1 million was primarily driven by an increase in net income before non-cash depreciation and amortization and changes in accounts receivable and other liabilities, offset by changes in inventories and accounts payable.
Investing Activities

Table of Contents

Cash used in investing activities was $202.4 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to $256.4 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The decrease of $54.0 million was due to lower cash requirements for business acquisitions.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $108.5 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to $62.4 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. The increase of cash used in financing activities of $46.1 million was primarily due to cash used for stock repurchases.

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 56 days as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to 55 days as of the end of fiscal 2013. The increase in DSO was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions within the quarter. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding are 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 both 4.1 as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and the end of fiscal 2013. 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.

As of the third quarter of fiscal 2014, $122.9 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries.  If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would not be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate the funds due to intercompany financing arrangements with our foreign subsidiaries.  While a significant portion of our foreign earnings continue to be permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries, it is anticipated this reinvestment will not impede cash needs at the parent company level. In our determination of which foreign earnings 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 2012 Credit Facility or the potential tax costs of remitting foreign earnings back to the U.S.
Credit Facilities
On November 21, 2012, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders (the “2012 Credit Facility”). This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $700.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2012 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility may be increased by $300.0 million in the aggregate. We also have two $75 million uncommitted revolving loan facilities (the “Uncommitted Facilities”), which are callable by the bank at any time and have no covenants. The interest rate for the Uncommitted Facilities is 0.9% to 1.00% plus either LIBOR or the bank’s cost of funds or as otherwise agreed upon by the bank and us.
As of the third quarter of 2014, our total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $638.8 million. Of the total outstanding balance, $577.5 million of the term loan is classified as long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The funds available under the 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, we may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on November 21, 2017, 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 0.15% to 0.35% 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 on September 29, 2017, with the remaining outstanding balance being due and payable at maturity on November 21, 2017. We are required to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan facility totaling $8.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2014, $70.0 million in fiscal 2015, $70.0 million in fiscal 2016, and the remaining balance of $490.0 million in fiscal 2017. 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.
We may borrow funds under the 2012 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 0.00% and 1.00%, 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, or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.00% and 2.00%, 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 2012 Credit Facility are guaranteed by several of our domestic subsidiaries.
The 2012 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by us, which include customary use of materiality, material adverse effect and knowledge qualifiers. The 2012 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 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3 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 2012 Credit Facility) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not greater than 3 to 1; 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 covenants as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
The 2012 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 2012 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.
The weighted average interest rate on the current portion of our long-term debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility and Uncommitted Facilities was 1.41% and 1.31% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively. The interest rate on our non-current debt outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility was 1.41% and 1.67% at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013, respectively.
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the tables below as well as detailed explanations to the adjustments to comparable GAAP measures, are set forth below:

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 intangible assets, 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.
Non-GAAP operating expenses
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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and acquisition/divestiture costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence, integration costs and litigation expenses 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

31

Table of Contents

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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition/divestiture costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence, integration costs and litigation expenses. 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, net
We believe this measure helps investors evaluate our non-operating income trends. Non-GAAP non-operating income, net excludes acquisition and divestiture gains/losses associated with unusual acquisition related items such as adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities, intangible assets impairment charges and gains or losses related to the acquisition or sale of certain businesses and investments, and a gain on an equity sale. These gains/losses are specific to particular acquisitions and divestitures and vary significantly in amount and timing. We believe that these exclusions provide investors with a supplemental view of our ongoing financial results.
Non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit)
Investors benefit from the exclusion of the tax impact on an equity sale and on the $51.3 million reserved for the RDS litigation because it facilitates comparisons to our past income tax provision. 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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a gain on an equity sale, litigation expenses 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 intangible assets, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a gain on an equity sale, litigation expenses 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.
These non-GAAP measures can be used to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance, as well as our performance relative to competitors. 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. Accordingly, management excludes from non-GAAP those items relating to restructuring, amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition and divestiture costs, a gain on an equity sale, litigation expenses and non-GAAP tax adjustments. For detailed explanations of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, see items (A) - ( L ) following the tables below.

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. We have incurred restructuring expense in each of the periods presented however the amount incurred can vary significantly based on whether a restructuring has occurred in the period and the timing of headcount reductions.

B.
Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Included in our GAAP presentation of gross margin and operating expenses is amortization of purchased intangible assets. 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

35

Table of Contents

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 the amortization of purchased intangible assets, which primarily represents technology and/or customer relationships already developed, it provides an alternative way for investors to compare our operations pre-acquisition to those post-acquisition and to those of our competitors that have pursued internal growth strategies. However, we note that companies that grow internally will incur costs to develop intangible assets that will be expensed in the period incurred, which may make a direct comparison more difficult.

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 third quarter and the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, 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 / divestiture items. 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 (loss), net, acquisition / divestiture items includes unusual acquisition, investment, or divestiture gains/losses such as adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities, and gains/losses on acquisitions or divestitures of certain businesses and investments. 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.
Gain on an equity sale. Included in our GAAP presentation of non-operating income, net this amount represents a gain on a partial equity sale of Virtual Site Solutions. We excluded the gain from our non-GAAP measures. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our non-GAAP measures because it facilitates an evaluation of our non-operating income trends.

G.
Litigation. In the third quarter of 2013 this amount represents a settlement of litigation related to a pre-acquisition agreement with a contract manufacturer. In the third quarter of 2014 this amount includes $51.3M of estimated costs based on a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. against the Company as well as $0.7M of costs based on an arbitration agreement. We have excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they are non-recurring expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operating results. We further believe that excluding these items from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.

H.
Non-GAAP items tax effected. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items ( A ) - ( E ) 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.


36

Table of Contents

I.
Tax on gain on an equity sale. This amount represents the tax effect of a gain on a partial equity sale of Virtual Site Solutions. We excluded this item as it represents the tax effect of a non-recurring gain. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our non-GAAP income tax provision because it facilitates a comparison of the non-GAAP tax rate in the current period to the non-GAAP tax rates in prior periods.

J.
Tax on Recreational Data Services Inc. litigation. This amount represents the tax effect of a loss recorded as a result of a jury verdict in favor of Recreational Data Services, Inc. We excluded this item as it represents the tax effect of a non-recurring expense. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our non-GAAP income tax provision because it allows for period-over-period comparability.

K.
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.

L.
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 $4.7 million and $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $13.2 million and $9.8 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Non-GAAP Operating Income
Non-GAAP operating income increased by $0.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 20.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to 21.2% for the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income increased by $46.8 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 21.6% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, as compared to 20.7% for the corresponding period in the prior year. The Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was relatively flat, due to higher revenue and gross margin expansion due to higher margin software, maintenance and subscription revenue, which was largely offset by an increase in operating expense, primarily associated with acquisitions. The increase in Non-GAAP operating income for the first three quarters was primarily driven by higher revenue and gross margin expansion due to higher margin software, maintenance, and subscription revenue, partially offset by an increase in operating expense, primarily associated with acquisitions. The decrease in Non-GAAP operating income percentage for the third quarter was due to higher operating expense, primarily associated with acquisitions, partially offset by gross margin expansion due to higher margin software, maintenance, and subscription revenue. The increase in Non-GAAP operating income percentage for the first three quarters was primarily due to gross margin expansion due to higher margin software, maintenance, and subscription revenue, partially offset by higher operating expense, primarily associated with acquisitions.
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
There have been no significant changes to our market interest rate risk assessment. Refer to our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K on page 52.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We operate in international markets, which expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and various foreign currencies, the most significant of which is the Euro.
Historically, the majority of our revenue contracts are denominated in U.S. Dollars, with the most significant exception being Europe, where we invoice primarily in Euros. Additionally, a portion of our expenses, primarily the cost to manufacture, cost of personnel to deliver technical support on our products and professional services, sales and sales support and research and development, are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, Swedish Krona, New Zealand Dollar and Canadian Dollar.

37

Table of Contents

Revenue resulting from selling in local currencies and costs incurred in local currencies are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which can affect our operating income. As exchange rates vary, operating income may differ from expectations. In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, revenue and operating income was negatively impacted by foreign currency exchange rates by $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, revenue and operating income was positively impacted by foreign currency exchange rates by $7.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash and certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Australian, Canadian, Singapore and New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Indian Rupee, Brazilian Real, South African Rand, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc, Euro and British pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate movements as the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances are generally offset with the gains and losses on the forward contracts. These instruments are marked to market through earnings every period and generally range from one to three months in original maturity. We do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for trading purposes. We occasionally enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the purchase price of some of our larger business acquisitions. Foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal year end 2013 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

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
On August 9, 2013, Harbinger Capital Partners, LLC and additional plaintiffs (“Harbinger Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit against Deere & Co., Garmin International, Inc., the Company and two other defendants in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan in connection with the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs allege, among other things, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, claiming that the defendants were aware of material facts that caused the Federal Communications Commission to take adverse action against LightSquared and affirmatively misrepresented and failed to disclose those facts prior to the Harbinger Plaintiffs’ investment in LightSquared. The Harbinger Plaintiffs seek $1.9 billion in damages from the defendants. On November 1, 2013, debtor LightSquared, Inc. and two related parties (“LightSquared Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the same defendants in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The LightSquared Plaintiffs assert claims similar to those made by the Harbinger Plaintiffs, as well as additional claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference, and allege that LightSquared invested billions of dollars in reliance on the promises and representations of defendants. On January 31, 2014, the U.S. District Court granted defendants’ motion to withdraw the LightSquared action from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court so it will proceed together with the Harbinger action before the U.S. District Court. Although an unfavorable outcome of these litigation matters may have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity, or financial position, we believe the claims in these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously contest these lawsuits.

Table of Contents

On September 2, 2011, Recreational Data Services, Inc. filed an action against us alleging misrepresentation and breach of contract arising from an unsuccessful business venture of the plaintiff, Recreational Data Services, Inc. We believed this suit lacked any basis in law or fact and attempted to have the case dismissed on legal grounds prior to trial. These efforts were not successful and the case was tried in front of a jury in Alaska beginning on September 9, 2014. On September 26, 2014, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff damages of $51.3 million. We believe that the jury's verdict is unsupported and intend to vigorously pursue all available avenues to have the verdict overturned. Since a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff was rendered, we determined we had a probable and estimable loss for which we recorded an expense within the financial statements. This expense is included within General and administrative expenses and is classified as a current liability as the timing of the payment is uncertain. If the verdict is overturned either as a result of post-trial motions or through the appeals process, the expense and related liability will be reversed in the period this occurs.
From time to time, we are also involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no other material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which any of our or our subsidiaries' property is subject.
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 2013 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 2013 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.
