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.
