Rob Painter

Ann. Hi,

is strategy Scale an is crop platform Connect production I So, and the the agriculture synonymous strategy the market that nucleus, specific with us mentioned workflow. and for

includes stepped our the platform the business then that of that So outside investments And includes autonomy, finally, is that. we're areas to efforts, of in North continuing networks the and America. include services, is majority out days correction making localization these up agriculture build it hit software, our our around

Ann Duignan

there the different much farmers packages is really, enterprise? quickly for suppliers. And follow-up, Okay. to the the how package software think, just as of entire I demand from for entire connected across individual farm wanting

connected marketplace you're there perspective? seeing farm in so, just I'm what And curious, out the from a

David Barnes

of primarily systems. Our technology is guidance the farm hardware, that's on over the XXX million today, acres

about XX% covered have acreage software. of that with our We same

for So, of obviously, a say delta new, it's not time. that. of a -- the this market, isn't potentially won't long let's XXX% see XX% is it's been serve in addressable the motion I we

to hardware at way it, a software other that's The Ann, connection. look

it a as way other at to from services The look perspective. correction

farm over users an well today. XXX,XXX have the is aspect. that of we correction connected our So services And

that when easier sale. So scale the the and of together ourselves with, and at software, Connect the business part and is bringing about of Scale hardware the services making do point to

Your line is now open.

Chad Dillard

guys. Hi, good afternoon,

to want change your more bit And I billion parts in regional as color guidance also, I to end like imply revenue you dig well if the number for on a seasonality, hoping just perspective, So, an market statistical at a year. out on perspective. usually little side, a like from get as planned $X look to revenue the then the moving

all Or is is chain just delta the something I that issues? understand, So else? to there about really supply wanted

David Barnes

and David. drill, of last are a comparing was up year last we quarter-to-quarter this say many so year. And a is pick tough a later we that I'll rapid Chad, lot and Hey, of contraction particularly all, in Yeah. year end in first and that QX, then strange. markets, demand, recall of the as saw catch-up because is

in. factor to going that's So

wise, transportation P&L pricing financial are the utilization asset has our As macros of market and markets bookings the the where terms and end transportation mentioned that obviously about thought far ended we the we picked up the we driving up, results, were in solidity but in and is as with we customers would transportation, of better.

our the we future exceeded for one. other quarters look beyond three than that's a expectations. that, more of in tailwind this So, segments, But,

of we level why meaningful trends in creating that's challenges, think thought provide supply still reasons because So hardware that where mentioned, I And we is I'll of continue. all chain with came our that's the those above uncertainty. was the part, some would be. of will business. up the the it for part QX And outlook And caution the a greatest

I will think don't in seasonality. do be better XXXX And seasonality We about year. of questions So XXXX different from know a for your answers for probably that a XXXX, comparing number you're off with normalized if reasons.

Chad Dillard

and question Got it. just That's And helpful. on price costs. gross a margins

to be well? this your will then, Just you fair And as you to to in clear, contractual be your just with of about able raise be exiting the cost? can you a talk match ability dynamic year -- will price just terms price

David Barnes

I'll it's very formula. Yeah, a say complicated

and with arrangements contractual facilitate increase in price don't immediate an that have in We cases. some our customers dealers

With of too, match don't necessarily but up. a supply chain protection some So side that's factor. those

So, rapidly Trimble every hardware, producing company I think for and moving this is a situation.

obviously, intention, remain we competitive. will Our

can't costs. to product meaningful Our I'll in the in that's say, the with some get increase is margin gross the we declines, or that we chunk, confidence of specific we expect of a continuing decline remainder portion But to meaningful we'll why but a recoup a And all have And of see not for high it. cost. believe year. intention estimate

Rob Painter

would… think year, exit Rob. the as add To we path to this And the I is exit that,

David Barnes

That's right.

four, I think the recover. maybe five at quarters going of semiconductor you three in happening if or side to world, probably the to things what's look take is

sooner of to costs that. the are likely abate input than Some other

reasonable once aircraft freight recovers. trans-oceanic more will For get instance, air

don't So there a margins. lot few a it in quarters. are moving of the be trajectory us I a long-term think for this But, change gross of will our is pieces. with

some that puts quarters. hopefully flat bucketing. And remaining But, accounted the broad things in couple in about normal other divestitures. mentioned. then for other remaining And that's in do headcount, be takes, part a the XX%, a we XX% the the you've got about higher the be won't things. increase and of year-on-year that So was you will are OpEx that There of ads Rob OpEx, which gives areas think spending in QX, year-on-year flat investment it in

Richard Eastman

be. Okay. It can't

that of Okay. maybe shed or BIM color the infrastructure, by on to market, could little firm just end should through the market look as perhaps And and to other words, the either strength just be Rob, a then was just bit education some where buildings In be? commercial market, and piece up geographically it'd continue market. as to versus you sift to government

Rob Painter

Sure.

the been OEM like both backlogs ABI optics some of pretty logistics all at solid. Australia, such can work, have and entities and Africa centers, utility places side, residential construction have Healthcare, are even fiber and look they're you those good that's and And from we good. agriculture up. infrastructure data those in centers, look have as good. mining We So been and and South at where exposure Dodge, units,

bigger work that's that it general buildings, than call one actually that, realize. low. Education, might much So commercial it's market office

number. still it's but so And a it's still lower, large

And pretty strength. so it's that's broad doing okay. Geographically based speaking, a actually,

software, Nordics you software America, are and And the North given was So, playing strong. and but strong. through guess see in Japan hardware. strong, in through it some play I Western see we've both Europe, a we strong. answer, we Australia,

see construction concrete geospatial product business. mean, technology foundation building on I work helps us If exposure equipments have much civil on for it and of the the that more construction, residential it's but residential or software us on we screens civil So smaller building instance, in survey geospatial as the work, In don't we work. it picks when up, type actually helps some of equipment. the using side side, for

going that's on. what's So yeah,

Richard Eastman

growth the core for was In that and conversions growth XX% segment? the Yeah. SAS headwind there absorbed buildings from and the in infrastructure, there much rate how

David Barnes

Good chunk.

Rob Painter

Probably points. a couple

David Barnes

Yeah.

Richard Eastman

Okay, couple.

to Okay, And you. for nice year great. Thank start sure. the

Berenberg. of question Munda from Gal Next

Your now is open. line

Gal Munda

taking Thanks Thank Hi. questions. Yeah. my you. for

on Because around really in the for of the thinking rest about, for the that The conservatism out. just the semi issue. an factored this whether, you supply you year that to you're going know of expand supply met the rest way guidance mentioned you of you that's kind is of there demand? think for can available? level Or be to way meeting is actually first you a be and of don't shortage, quarters issue a with your year the at conservatism one from just five where play the be that's into coming demand shortages in the And stage? any example, to the sorry, guidance don't to David, sort expect met Is that can to take three side? there the

David Barnes

of around a It the will the the range end account dollar think, that. of for top hardware the the And about supply majority bottom definitely, uncertainties constraint. I think revenue and as million you be $XXX between guidance,

one key is the through And So, increasing end for guidance the higher I we're which, think to lower in tightness able end components. the we're constraints. the by the work is scenario range characterized which in at in of markets

seen call. for my like just who've a colleagues it. been unprecedented, hard decades, this work doing one to and is it to So of It's none talking anything somewhat them have

one road, bumps of very the flexible figuring a and So we adept in of we It's the have handle have now. being like how of team. out Trimble operations to strengths

driving looking in by that component range guidance. this by there's meaningful product I'll our the what's that's uncertainty, So, at component product, and we're and concede and

Gal Munda

little that business it? helpful. question, well? at 'XX, to headwind a still 'XX, this of growth. kind way providing, think terms a in forward still And like, just really your stage X.X spend still 'XX, the points less model then is you. Is you? it how about like then is to guidance this headwind which maybe to long into percentage as we bit right you're of 'XX the That's Thank how headwind? and maybe transition, second around to but If a look that is I'd on the of and And incrementally as material becomes for way going does think there a that persist a forward Is

David Barnes

And TTM two basis for whatever think still $XXX it perpetual have they a billion a law we less there's that ways of of large where be over numbers And headwind. $X.X Gal. X.X, overcome I a bit would of of a million it, software. ARR, headwind is about Yeah, that'll if of on had

some of there things are how to what working So of and to And and some will available which still businesses just not. for think are actively about, we're on make for business. really see the we want which us sense we go

will And of be a right, so in that you're sense, it headwind. less

for we it at platform the hardware, side we and other Trimble is look as where in service. business, call other machine so a say, The control offer, of it example, business as we guidance take models, they

provide the in that And are software, that and the if field that the successful that driving could type So technology, tailwind of technology more up depends the with that that digital that some control in described. assurance. the cab we're may bundling works. create conversion, connect revenue, if physical office. we're they buying a allows term it I could more on accounting By ratability. instead And does, machine is it us show case, But just that to headwind

Gal Munda

That's ELD it guidance. route, the interesting. going on could that in is could And and that something said, side even work? the competitors something kind of down as machine you just to check, well? consider that transportation that an happen control potentially that Some you be Would of

David Barnes

together give our The and depending the and how an the but bundling are models, want and arrangement But with the you of the accounting is Yeah. We've used service offering actually around of on flow, And doing we're that's one business. the customers already experimenting business with upfront, software to hardware the a of by demonstrate ratably But us. it customers we're I'll nature our really with talking small of about cash that a today, do got requires service. a some it on it. on may example everything you a as revenue recognize show have with experimenting the largely equipment, and examples. doing to of business couple you pockets our fleet We've those just not anecdotal just agriculture how are larger structured. swap monthly that to all that competitive contracts we're model. hardware ratable works, survey

Gal Munda

Thank for Awesome. and congrats so you great results. much,

And the the from line comes question Capital. Jason of KeyBanc Celino last of

open. now is line Your

Jason Celino

the thanks categorize for transition, you question. pace you customers taking to speak for guys question a to carrot, In not could Maybe stick, Hey, you maybe incentivizing and transitions. segue, or guys, pricing Gal's seen these new strategies but Rob, could a as Good these there? of a the move my are on how offerings. to we've few software, to doing

Rob Painter

start. Hi, It's of Jason, a carrot Rob, I'll than more this is stick. Yeah. a

more belief is customer that the of with approach our can create carrot. we goodwill the So,

staying sensors, assurance, the carrot example. staying the software. so, The And I'll that on machine we technology firmware, control so value that actually, current can offer, that proposition around on embedded use fundamental the current

carrot. increase a provide is the drive deeper move You'd success, and IT customer outdated I the carrot I better to to customer, the a value operations offering proposition Jason, I'll a move and them I and of would be then we surprised a you a as is characterize think subscription. to help a to can would of And when ROI actually to have better investment. versions that as you we -- value one, I how them that's and do more customer the it can on at The And their providing firmware. a classic into as think the increase we smart insight smart the have call for center value believe many off when customers one to move is perpetual proposition know, way that's giving from the mention, subscription to

the offering. subscription the some and in perpetual both offering we're cases, So

However, you're is you as set make some at when that offering the by better that to in cloud, to the think have a with the because start that develop you will offering, And consistent providing and functionality approach, to buy opposed richer break of functionality we the additional stick. subscription getting point. carrot only value the

forever. offerings wind do that point, to given time some we'll consider to our thus far, it have down. Now, customers own choices. that to you doesn't do mean we've ample But, their At both

Jason Celino

Okay.

any and the for then, are your offerings? force your to to question running influence sales partners, for subscription them you incentives go similar So,

Rob Painter

subscription sheet want incentive a that. to more own to to Yeah, whole more balance sense, the negative that on may it's partner their our be necessarily offering want running I it businesses change provide, don't flow. attractive sales make if the follow you in level, amazing to the a subscription, money. make perpetual what to use provide selling the we'll times the cash dealer And they our question. them at compensation And sell mean, you because we see cash to at initially, results the many can when you correlate. at don't versus No level, least you

go-to-market product So the yeah, connect absolutely to to strategy. the efforts, you have

Jason Celino
