Trimble Inc. (TRMB - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2022 non-GAAP earnings of 64 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.9%. The bottom line declined 11.1% year over year and 12.3% sequentially.
TRMB’s revenues of $941.2 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2%. Also, the figure was down 0.4% year over year and 5.3% sequentially.
The top-line decrease was attributed to declining product and services revenues. Also, weak momentum across geospatial and transportation segments negatively impacted the quarterly performance.
In the second quarter, Trimble exited the Russia business due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This also acted as a headwind.
However, strong momentum across building and infrastructure, and resources and utilities segments drove the quarterly revenues.
TRMB generated annualized recurring revenues of $1.51 billion in the second quarter, which increased 12% on a year-over-year basis.
Product revenues (accounting for 60% of total revenues) summed $564.5 million, down 5.1% on a year-over-year basis. Subscription revenues (23%) increased 16.2% from the year-ago quarter’s level to $218.7 million. Services revenues (17%) of $158 million dipped 2.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
Trimble reports revenues based on the following four types:
Hardware revenues (accounting for 44% of total revenues) amounted to $410.3 million, down 7.1% year over year. Software revenues (16%) were $154.2 million, reflecting an increase of 0.7% from the year-ago period’s figure. Recurring revenues (36%) increased 10% from the year-ago quarter’s level to $342.1 million. Professional Service and Other revenues (4%) totaled $34.6 million, down 11.7% year over year.
Trimble operates under the following four organized segments:
Buildings and Infrastructure: The segment generated revenues of $382.6 million (accounting for 41% of total revenues), which increased 4.9% on a year-over-year basis. The rise in revenues was driven by strong growth in all major businesses. Also, an increase in bookings and solid net retention across software offerings aided the segment.
Geospatial: This segment generated revenues of $193.7 million (21% of total revenues), which fell 11.8% from the prior-year quarter’s level. The segment was affected by reduced hardware sales and supply-chain constraints.
Resources and Utilities: This segment generated revenues of $214.8 million (23% of total revenues), up 8.8% from the prior-year quarter’s level. Higher revenues were attributed to healthy agricultural markets. Also, strong growth in positioning services remained positive.
Transportation: The segment generated revenues of $150.1 million (accounting for 16% of total revenues), which dropped 8.1% on a year-over-year basis. The segment’s revenues were down due to reduced hardware sales in North America.
