Selected Quarterly Financial Data

NOTE 15: SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)

Trimble has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31. As a result of the extra week, year-over-year results may not be comparable. Thus, due to the inherent nature of adopting a 52-53 week fiscal year, the Company, analysts, shareholders, investors, and others will have to make appropriate adjustments to any analysis performed when comparing our activities and results. Fiscal 2011 and 2010 were both 52-week years.
