Trimble (TRMB) Q3 Earnings Meet Mark, Revenues Fall Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Trimble Inc. (TRMB - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2022 non-GAAP earnings of 66 cents per share, which matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The bottom line also matched the year-ago quarter’s figure but rose 3.1% sequentially.
TRMB’s revenues of $884.9 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.8%. Also, the figure was down 1.8% year over year and 6% 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.
Softening demand in Europe, macroeconomic headwinds, and supply-chain constraints remained overhangs.
However, strong momentum across the building and infrastructure, and resources and utilities segments drove the quarterly revenues.
TRMB generated annualized recurring revenues of $1.55 billion in the reported quarter, which increased 13% on a year-over-year basis.
Product revenues (accounting for 57% of total revenues) summed $503.9 million, down 8.6% on a year-over-year basis. Subscription revenues (25%) increased 17% from the year-ago quarter’s level to $222.7 million. Services revenues (18%) of $158.3 million dipped 1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Trimble operates under the following four organized segments:
Buildings and Infrastructure: The segment generated revenues of $363.6 million (accounting for 41% of total revenues), which increased 4% on a year-over-year basis. The rise in revenues was driven by strong growth at e-Builder, Viewpoint, SketchUp and civil construction.
Geospatial: This segment generated revenues of $184.2 million (21% of total revenues), which fell 10.3% 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 $191.7 million (22% of total revenues), up 3.7% 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 $145.4 million (accounting for 16% of total revenues), which dropped 10% on a year-over-year basis. The segment’s revenues were down due to reduced hardware sales in North America.
