NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our results of our consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
We use a 52- to 53-week year ending on the Friday nearest to December 31. Both 2023 and 2022 are 52-week years. The second quarter of 2023 and 2022 ended on June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to these periods.
Use of Estimates
We prepared our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).
The interim financial information is unaudited, and reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with our 2022 Form 10-K that includes additional information about our significant accounting policies and the methods and assumptions used in our estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions are used for revenue recognition, including determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and determining standalone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations, provision for credit losses, sales returns reserve, inventory valuation, warranty costs, investments, acquired intangibles, goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis, other long-lived asset impairment analysis, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates.
Change in Presentation
During the first quarter of 2023, we changed the presentation of revenue and cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. This change was made to better reflect our Connect and Scale strategy and business model evolution with a continued shift toward a more significant mix of recurring revenue, which includes subscription, maintenance and support, recurring transactions, and term licenses. As such, we revised our presentation, including (a) the combination of subscription and services into one line item, and (b) moving term licenses from product to subscription and services. The subscription and services line item is more aligned with our performance measures, how we manage our business, and is helpful to investors and others to better understand our results.
Previously, we presented revenue and cost of sales on three lines as follows:
•product, which included hardware and software licenses (both perpetual and term licenses);
•service, which included hardware and software maintenance and support and professional services;
•subscription, which included Software as a Service (“SaaS”), data, and hosting services.
The revised categories are as follows:
•product, which includes hardware and perpetual software licenses;
•subscription and services, which includes SaaS, data, and hosting services, as well as term licenses, hardware and software maintenance and support, and professional services.
Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. This change in presentation did not affect the total revenue or total cost of sales. The effect of the changes on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2022 were as follows:

There are no recently adopted accounting pronouncements.
NOTE 2. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE
In August 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program (“2021 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing up to $750.0 million in repurchases of our common stock. The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program’s authorization does not have an expiration date.
Under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase stock from time to time through open market transactions, privately-negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase plans, or by other means. The timing and actual number of any stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, our stock price, other available uses of capital, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion without notice. At the end of the second quarter of 2023, the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $215.3 million.
Because of the additional outstanding indebtedness we incurred in connection with the Transporeon acquisition, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, we have temporarily discontinued our stock repurchases. See Note 3 “Acquisition” of this report for information regarding our acquisition of Transporeon.
During the second quarter and first two quarters of 2022, we repurchased approximately 3.1 million and 4.6 million shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $65.38 and $66.42 per share for a total of $200.0 million and $304.7 million under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program.
Stock repurchases are reflected as a decrease to common stock based on par value and additional-paid-in-capital, determined by the average book value per share of outstanding stock, calculated at the time of each individual repurchase transaction. The excess of the purchase price over this average for each repurchase was charged to retained earnings. Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITION
On April 3, 2023, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of TP Group Holding GmbH and Sixfold GmbH, which owned Transporeon, in an all-cash transaction. Transporeon is a Germany-based company and leading cloud-based transportation management software platform that connects key stakeholders across the industry lifecycle to positively impact the optimization of global supply chains, which aligns with our Connect and Scale strategy. We believe the acquisition will increase our international footprint and long-term Transportation opportunities. We also believe it will advance our sustainability strategy by reducing under-utilized carrier capacity and “empty miles”. Transporeon is reported as part of our Transportation segment.
The total purchase consideration was €1.9 billion or $2.1 billion, which included the repayment of outstanding Transporeon debt of $339.6 million. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and debt. See Note 7 “Debt” of this report for more information.
Purchase Price Allocation
The fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair value of intangible assets acquired is generally determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Transporeon and the preliminary allocation of the purchase price among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the estimated useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets as of the date of the acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is still preliminary as we finalize deferred income taxes, certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, and valuations of intangible assets. Preliminary estimates will be finalized within one year of the acquisition date.

Goodwill consists of growth potential, synergies, and economies of scale expected from combining Transporeon’s operations with ours, together with the highly skilled and valuable assembled workforce. We do not expect the goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Financial Information
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2023 include revenue of $40.5 million and net loss of $14.6 million resulting from Transporeon since the acquisition date, which includes the effects of purchase accounting, primarily amortization of intangible assets and other adjustments.
We incurred approximately $23.5 million and $25.7 million of acquisition costs related to Transporeon in the second quarter and first two quarters of 2023, which were expensed as incurred in General and administrative expense.
The pro forma financial information presented in the following table was computed by combining the historical financial information of Trimble and Transporeon along with the effects from business combination accounting and the associated debt resulting from this acquisition as if the companies were combined on January 1, 2022. This information is presented for informational purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated as of that date. This information should not be used as a predictive measure of our future financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

We determined our operating segments based on how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) views and evaluates operations. Our reportable segments are described below:
•Buildings and Infrastructure. This segment primarily serves customers working in architecture, engineering, construction, and operations and maintenance.
•Geospatial. This segment primarily serves customers working in surveying, engineering, and government.
•Resources and Utilities. This segment primarily serves customers working in agriculture, forestry, and utilities.
•Transportation. This segment primarily serves customers working in long haul trucking and freight shipper markets.
The following Reporting Segment tables reflect the results of our reportable operating segments under our management reporting system. These results are not necessarily in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This is consistent with the way the CODM evaluates each of the segment's performance and allocates resources.
The disaggregation of revenue by geography is summarized in the tables below. Revenue is defined as revenue from external customers attributed to countries based on the location of the customer and is consistent with the Reporting Segment tables above.

Senior Notes
All of our senior notes are unsecured obligations. Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually in June and December of each year, except for the interest on the 2033 senior notes payable in March and September. Additional details are unchanged from the information disclosed in Note 7 “Debt” of the 2022 Form 10-K.
During the second quarter of 2023, the $300 million senior notes due June 2023 matured and were repaid in full.
2033 Senior Notes
In March 2023, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $800.0 million in senior notes that will mature in March 2033. The proceeds were partly used to finance our acquisition of Transporeon. The interest is payable semi-annually in March and September of each year, commencing in September 2023.
Credit Facilities
2022 Term Loan Credit Agreement
On December 27, 2022, we entered into a $1.0 billion unsecured, delayed draw term loan credit agreement comprised of commitments for a 3-year tranche of $500.0 million and a 5-year tranche of $500.0 million. On April 3, 2023, both term loans were drawn to fund the acquisition of Transporeon.
Prepayments are allowed without penalty and cannot be reborrowed.
In March 2022, we entered into a credit agreement maturing in March 2027. The 2022 credit facility provides for a five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion, and permits us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to increase the commitments for revolving loans by an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million. The interest rate and commitment fees are based on our current long-term, senior unsecured debt ratings, our leverage ratio, and certain specified sustainability targets.
On December 27, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the 2022 credit facility that made up to $600.0 million of the existing commitments available for the acquisition of Transporeon and increased our maximum permitted leverage ratio following the closing of the acquisition. On April 3, 2023, we borrowed $225.0 million as part of the proceeds to finance the acquisition. For additional information related to the Transporeon acquisition, see Note 3 “Acquisition” of this report.
As of June 30, 2023, $400.0 million was outstanding under the 2022 credit facility, as amended.
Uncommitted Facilities
At the end of the second quarter of 2023, we had two $75.0 million, one €100.0 million, and one £55.0 million revolving credit facilities, which are uncommitted. Generally, these uncommitted facilities may be redeemed upon demand. Borrowings under the uncommitted facilities are classified as short-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2023, $4.3 million was outstanding under the uncommitted facilities.
Covenants
The 2022 term loan credit agreement and 2022 credit facility, as amended, contain customary covenants including, among other requirements, limitations that restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to incur indebtedness. Further, both debt agreements contain financial covenants that require the maintenance of maximum leverage and minimum interest coverage ratios. At the end of the second quarter of 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants for each of our debt agreements.

See Note 10 “Fair Value Measurements” of the 2022 Form 10-K for additional details.
Additional Fair Value Information
The total estimated fair value of all outstanding financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (debt) was approximately $3.2 billion and $1.5 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2023 and the end of 2022.
The fair value of the senior notes was determined based on observable market prices in less active markets and is categorized accordingly as Level II. The fair values do not indicate the amount we would currently have to pay to extinguish the debt.

Remaining Performance Obligations
At the end of the second quarter of 2023, approximately $1.6 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for which goods or services have not been delivered, primarily subscription, software, and software maintenance, and to a lesser extent, hardware and professional services contracts. We expect to recognize $1.2 billion or 71% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
NOTE 10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, contingently issuable stock, and stock to be purchased under our employee stock purchase plan.
The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES
For the second quarter, our effective income tax rate was 22.4%, as compared to 24.2% in the corresponding period in 2022. For the first two quarters, our effective income tax rate was 20.5%, as compared to 22.7% in the prior year. The decreases were primarily due to an increase in tax benefits from foreign-derived intangible income, favorable geographic mix of earnings, and a tax charge associated with prior year divestiture gains, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation deductions.
Unrecognized tax benefits of $59.2 million and $51.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2023 and at the end of 2022, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. At the end of the second quarter of 2023 and at the end of 2022, we accrued interest and penalties of $10.2 million and $8.4 million. Although the timing of the resolution and/or closure of audits is not certain, we do not believe that our gross unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
At the end of the second quarter of 2023, we had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $731.7 million. These unconditional purchase obligations primarily represent open non-cancellable purchase orders for material purchases with our vendors and investments in our platform associated with our Connect and Scale strategy.
Litigation
From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. There are no material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, that we or any of our subsidiaries is a party, or that any of our or our subsidiaries’ property is subject.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to Note 1 “Overview and Accounting Policies” of this report.
EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW
We are a leading provider of technology solutions that enable professionals and field mobile workers to improve or transform their work processes. Our comprehensive work process solutions are used across a range of industries including architecture, building construction, civil engineering, geospatial, survey and mapping, agriculture, natural resources, utilities, transportation, and government. Our representative customers include construction owners, contractors, engineering and construction firms, surveying companies, farmers and agricultural companies, energy and utility companies, trucking companies, and state, federal, and municipal governments.
Our growth strategy is centered on multiple elements:
•Executing on our Connect and Scale strategy;
•Increasing focus on software and services;
•Focus on attractive markets with significant growth and profitability potential;
•Domain knowledge and technological innovation that benefits a diverse customer base;
•Geographic expansion with a localization strategy;
•Optimized go-to-market strategies to best access our markets;
•Strategic acquisitions;
•Venture fund investments; and
•Sustainability.
Our focus on these growth drivers has led over time to growth in revenue and profitability and an increasingly diversified business model. We continue to experience a shift toward a more significant mix of recurring revenue as demonstrated by our success in driving annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) of $1,882.9 million, which represents growth of 24% year-over-year at the end of the second quarter of 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, acquisitions, and divestitures, ARR organic growth was 14%. This shift toward recurring revenue has positively impacted our revenue mix and growth over time and is leading to improved visibility in our businesses. Additionally, we continue to maintain focus on new product introductions and transitions to recurring revenue as evidenced by the Transporeon acquisition.
As our solutions have expanded, our go-to-market model has also evolved with a balanced mix between direct, distribution, and OEM customers as well as an increasing number of enterprise-level customer relationships. In our Resources and Utilities segment, we are currently in the process of further building out our agriculture independent dealer network.
Throughout this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, we refer to organic revenue growth, which is a non-GAAP measure. For a full definition of ARR, organic ARR, and organic revenue growth as used in this discussion and analysis, refer to the “Supplemental Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Annualized Recurring Revenue” found later in this Item 2.
Impact of Recent Events on Our Business
Macroeconomic conditions, including geopolitical tensions, such as the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions, exchange rate and interest rate volatility, and inflationary pressures, will continue to evolve globally. In the first two quarters of 2023, as compared to the prior year, our organic hardware sales declined and bookings moderated as dealers moved towards lower levels of inventories due to improved product lead times and macroeconomic concerns. Geospatial, Buildings and Infrastructure, and Resources and Utilities all had strong hardware sales in the prior year.
Supply Chain
Due to previously extended component lead times, we made binding commitments over a longer horizon for certain components. We expect that our inventory levels will normalize over the next four quarters. However, as inventory levels
continue to normalize, macroeconomic conditions, including rising interest rates and inflation, could negatively impact the timing of inventory normalization.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations
We generate over half of our revenue from sales to customers outside of the U.S. Due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, year-over-year unfavorable foreign currency impacts on revenue and operating income for the first two quarters of 2023 were $18.4 million or 1% and $6.3 million or 2%. Impacts for the second quarter of 2023 were minimal.
Interest Rates Fluctuations
The global inflation rate has risen sharply, and interest rates are rising in an effort to curb inflation. These macroeconomic conditions have had and are expected to have a negative impact on our results of operations. Additionally, we may experience higher borrowing costs on variable-rate debt. In the second quarter of 2023, we borrowed $1.2 billion of variable-rate debt in conjunction with the Transporeon acquisition.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
We acquire businesses that align with our long-term growth strategies including our strategic product roadmap and, conversely, we divest certain business that no longer fit those strategies.
On April 3, 2023, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Transporeon in an all-cash transaction valued at €1.9 billion or $2.1 billion. Transporeon is a Germany-based company and leading cloud-based transportation management software platform that connects key stakeholders across the industry lifecycle to positively impact the optimization of global supply chains, which aligns with our Connect and Scale strategy. By combining Transporeon’s operations with ours, we expect economies of scale and meaningful synergies such as acceleration of recurring revenue, expansion of the addressable market, cross-sell opportunities, and enhanced productivity and sustainability solutions for our customers. Transporeon is reported in our Transportation segment. We have included the financial results of Transporeon in our Consolidated Financial Statements in the second quarter of 2023.

Organic growth increased 3% for the second quarter and was flat for the first two quarters, with strong growth coming from recurring revenue. The breakdown by category is as follows:
Organic product revenue decreased for the second quarter and first two quarters due to reductions in dealer inventory levels as a result of improved product lead times and macroeconomic concerns. The decreases were mainly in Buildings and Infrastructure and Resources and Utilities. Geospatial organic product revenue decreased for the first two quarters for the same reason but increased for the second quarter due to higher demand for surveying products.
Organic subscription and services revenue for the second quarter and first two quarters was up primarily due to strong growth across all segments, particularly for Buildings and Infrastructure. The recurring growth was driven by increased subscription and term license sales to new and existing customers, as evidenced by overall organic ARR growth of 14%.
Gross Margin
Gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased for the second quarter and first two quarters due to strong growth of software and subscription revenue, favorable pricing and costs, as well as a higher margin mix within our product offerings.
Operating Income
Operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased for the second quarter and first two quarters primarily due to increased operating expense, partially offset by gross margin expansion. Operating expense increased primarily associated with the Transporeon acquisition, including acquisition costs and higher amortization of purchased intangible assets. In addition, we incurred higher research and development and general and administrative costs, including investments related to our Connect and Scale strategy.
Research and Development, Sales and Marketing, and General and Administrative Expense
The following table shows research and development (“R&D”), sales and marketing (“S&M”), and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense along with these expenses as a percentage of revenue for the periods indicated:
R&D expense increased for the second quarter and first two quarters primarily due to higher compensation expense and the impact of the Transporeon acquisition, partially offset by divestitures and favorable foreign currency impacts. We believe that the development and introduction of new solutions are critical to our future success, and we expect to continue the active development of new products.
S&M expense increased for the second quarter and first two quarters primarily due to the impact of the Transporeon acquisition and higher marketing and consulting costs, partially offset by divestitures and favorable foreign currency impacts.
G&A expense increased for the second quarter and first two quarters primarily due to the impact of the Transporeon acquisition, including higher transaction costs, increased SaaS costs, and higher compensation expense, partially offset by divestitures.

Non-operating expense, net increased for the second quarter and first two quarters primarily due tolower net gains from divestitures and higher interest expense from the new debt associated with the Transporeon acquisition. The increases were partially offset by fluctuations in the deferred compensation plan assets included in other income (expense), net. Additionally, other income (expense), net for the first two quarters of 2023 included a $27.6 million foreign currency hedging gain related to the Transporeon acquisition.
Income Tax Provision
For the second quarter, our effective income tax rate was 22.4%, as compared to 24.2% in the corresponding period in 2022. For the first two quarters, our effective income tax rate was 20.5%, as compared to 22.7% in the prior year. The decreases were primarily due to an increase in tax benefits from foreign-derived intangible income, favorable geographic mix of earnings, and a tax charge associated with prior year divestiture gains, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation deductions.
Results by Segment
We report our financial performance, including revenue and operating income, based on four reportable segments: Buildings and Infrastructure, Geospatial, Resources and Utilities, and Transportation.
Our Chief Executive Officer (chief operating decision maker) views and evaluates operations based on the results of our reportable operating segments under our management reporting system. For additional discussion of our segments, refer to Note 6 “Segment Information” of this report.
Organic revenue increased for the second quarter and first two quarters due to strong demand for our subscription and term license software and good net retention. The increases resulted from higher sales to new and existing customers as well as conversions to recurring offerings. Perpetual software revenue increased due to civil construction software passcode unlocks. The increase in organic revenue was offset by lower civil construction hardware sales as dealers worked through their inventories.
Operating income increased for the second quarter primarily due to higher revenue and gross margin expansion, offset by increased operating expense associated with revenue growth as well as investments, including our Connect and Scale strategy. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was relatively flat for the second quarter. Operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased for the first two quarters due to increased operating expense, partially offset by higher revenue and gross margin expansion.

Organic revenue decreased for the second quarter and first two quarters from weaker dealer aftermarket sales due in part to robust market strength in the first half of 2022. Dealer sales were also impacted by changes in our dealer aftermarket distribution network. The declines were partially offset by an increase in OEM sales.
Operating income decreased for the second quarter and first two quarters primarily due to decreased revenue and higher operating expense, partially offset by gross margin expansion. Operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased for the second quarter and increased slightly for the first two quarters.
Organic revenue increasedfor the second quarter and first two quarters primarily driven by enterprise and MAPS subscription revenue growth and higher hardware sales from Europe and Brazil Mobility.
Operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue increased for the second quarter and first two quarters primarily due to the impact of the Transporeon acquisition, as well as organic revenue growth, gross margin expansion, and targeted cost reductions.

Operating Activities
The increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven by a reduction in inventory purchases, incentive compensation payouts, accounts receivable, and tax payments. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenue due to the timing of billings.
Investing Activities
The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the Transporeon acquisition and reduced proceeds from divestitures.
Financing Activities
The increase in cash provided by financing activities was driven by proceeds from our $800.0 million issuance of the 2033 senior notes, borrowings of $1.0 billion in term loans in the current year, and common stock repurchases occurring in the prior year. The increase was partially offset by the repayment of the 2023 senior notes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and borrowings, along with cash provided by operations will be sufficient in the foreseeable future to meet our anticipated operating cash needs, debt service, expenditures related to our Connect and Scale strategy, and any acquisitions.
Our 2022 credit facility allows us to borrow up to $1.25 billion, with an option to increase the borrowings up to $1.75 billion with lender approval. As of June 30, 2023, $400.0 million was outstanding under the 2022 credit facility.
Our 2023 senior notes totaling $300.0 million matured and were paid in June 2023.
In the second quarter of 2023, we acquired Transporeon, which was funded through a combination of $1.0 billion of term loans, $225.0 million drawn on the 2022 credit facility, as amended, and the 2033 senior notes, see Note 3 “Acquisition” of this report.
As a result of R&D cost capitalization for tax purposes, our tax cash costs in 2022 were approximately $88.0 million higher than they would have been had R&D costs continued to be expensed upfront for tax purposes. If this provision is deferred or repealed, we expect to get a significant portion returned to us as a refund or use it as a tax credit in future years. In 2023, we are expecting to pay approximately $66.0 million relating to this provision. The majority relates to Federal tax liability and will be paid during the fourth quarter of 2023, as we qualified for payment postponement under the IRS relief initiative for California disaster area taxpayers.
Our cash requirements have not otherwise materially changed since the 2022 Form 10-K.
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND ANNUALIZED RECURRING REVENUE
To supplement our consolidated financial information, we included non-GAAP financial measures, which are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP. We believe non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding our “core operating performance”, which excludes (i) the effect of non-cash items and certain variable charges not expected to recur; and (ii) transactions that are not meaningful in comparison to our past operating performance or not reflective of ongoing financial results. Lastly, we believe that our core operating performance offers a supplemental measure for period-to-period comparisons and can be used to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance, as well as our performance relative to competitors.
Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure that refers to revenue excluding the impacts of (i) foreign currency translation, and (ii) acquisitions and divestitures. We believe organic revenue growth provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it excludes items that are not indicative of ongoing performance or impact comparability with the prior year. We provide a reconciliation tables showing the change in revenue growth to organic revenue growth in the “Results of Operations” section found earlier in this Item 2.
In addition to providing non-GAAP financial measures, we disclose Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) to give the investors supplementary indicators of the value of our current recurring revenue contracts. ARR represents the estimated annualized value of recurring revenue. ARR is calculated by taking our subscription, maintenance and support, and recurring transaction revenue for the current quarter and adding the portion of the contract value of all of our term licenses attributable to the current quarter, and dividing that sum by the number of days in the quarter and then multiplying that quotient by 365. Organic ARR refers to annualized recurring revenue excluding the impacts of (i) foreign currency translation, and (ii) acquisitions and divestitures. ARR and organic ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as they are performance measures and are not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items.
The non-GAAP financial measures, definitions, and explanations to the adjustments to comparable GAAP measures are included below:

Non-GAAP Definitions
Non-GAAP gross margin
We define Non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross margin, excluding the effects of amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition/divestiture items, stock-based compensation, deferred compensation, and restructuring and other costs.We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP gross margin as a way of understanding how product mix, pricing decisions, and manufacturing costs influence our business.
We define Non-GAAP operating expenses as GAAP operating expenses, excluding the effects of amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition/divestiture items, stock-based compensation, deferred compensation, and restructuring and other costs. We believe this measure is important to investors evaluating our non-GAAP spending in relation to revenue.
Non-GAAP operating income
We define Non-GAAP operating income as GAAP operating income, excluding the effects of amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition/divestiture items, stock-based compensation, deferred compensation, and restructuring and other costs.We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP operating income trends, which are driven by revenue, gross margin, and spending.
Non-GAAP non-operating expense, net
We define Non-GAAP non-operating expense, net as GAAP non-operating income (expense), net, excluding acquisition/divestiture items, deferred compensation, and restructuring and other costs.We believe this measure helps investors evaluate our non-operating expense trends.
Non-GAAP income tax provision
We define Non-GAAP income tax provision as GAAP income tax provision, excluding charges and benefits such as net deferred tax impacts resulting from the non-U.S. intercompany transfer of intellectual property, tax law changes, and significant one-time reserve releases upon the statute of limitations expirations. We believe this measure helps investors because it provides for consistent treatment of excluded items in our non-GAAP presentation and a difference in the GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates.
Non-GAAP net income
We define Non-GAAP net income as GAAP net income, excluding the effects of amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition/divestiture items, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other costs, and non-GAAP tax adjustments.This measure provides a supplemental view of net income trends, which are driven by non-GAAP income before taxes and our non-GAAP tax rate.

We define Non-GAAP diluted net income per share as GAAP diluted net income per share, excluding the effects of amortization of purchased intangible assets, acquisition/divestiture items, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other costs, and non-GAAP tax adjustments.We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP operating performance as reflected in a per share calculation as a way of measuring non-GAAP operating performance by ownership in the company.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP operating income plus depreciation expense, cloud computing amortization, and income from equity method investments, net. Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to purport to be an alternative to net income or operating income as a measure of operating performance or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that we believe offers a useful view of the overall operations of our business because it facilitates operating performance comparisons by removing potential differences caused by variations unrelated to operating performance, such as capital structures (interest expense), income taxes, depreciation, and amortization of purchased intangibles and cloud computing costs.
Explanations of Non-GAAP adjustments
(A).Amortization of purchased intangible assets. Non-GAAP gross margin and operating expenses exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets, which primarily represents technology and/or customer relationships already developed.
(B).Acquisition / divestiture items. Non-GAAP gross margin and operating expenses exclude acquisition costs consisting of external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition and strategic investment activities such as legal, due diligence, integration, and other closing costs, including the acceleration of acquisition stock options and adjustments to the fair value of earn-out liabilities. Non-GAAP non-operating expense, net, excludes unusual one-time acquisition/divestiture charges, including foreign currency exchange rate gains/losses related to an acquisition, divestiture gains/losses, and strategic investment impairments. These are one-time costs that vary significantly in amount and timing and are not indicative of our core operating performance.
(C).Stock-based compensation / deferred compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin and operating expenses exclude stock-based compensation and income or expense associated with movement in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan
liabilities. Changes in non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets, included in non-operating expense, net, offset the income or expense in the plan liabilities.
(D).Restructuring and other costs. Non-GAAP gross margin and operating expenses exclude restructuring and other costs comprised of termination benefits related to reductions in employee headcount and closure or exit of facilities, executive severance agreements, business exit costs, as well as a $20 million commitment to donate to the Trimble Foundation that was paid over four quarters.
(E).Non-GAAP items tax effected. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items (A) - (D) on non-GAAP net income.
(F).Difference in GAAP and Non-GAAP tax rate. This amount represents the difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates applied to the non-GAAP operating income plus the non-GAAP non-operating expense, net. The non-GAAP tax rate excludes charges and benefits such as net deferred tax impacts resulting from a non-U.S. intercompany transfer of intellectual property and significant one-time reserve releases upon statute of limitations expirations.
(G).GAAP and non-GAAP tax rate percentages. These percentages are defined as GAAP income tax provision as a percentage of GAAP income before taxes and non-GAAP income tax provision as a percentage of non-GAAP income before taxes.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use certain derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All financial instruments are used in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors.
Market Interest Rate Risk
Our cash equivalents consisted primarily of interest and non-interest bearing bank deposits as well as bank time deposits. The main objective of these instruments is safety of principal and liquidity while maximizing return, without significantly increasing risk. Due to the nature of our cash equivalents that are readily convertible to cash, we do not anticipate any material effect on our portfolio due to fluctuations in interest rates.
In the second quarter of 2023, we borrowed $1.2 billion of variable-rate debt in conjunction with the Transporeon acquisition. At the end of the second quarter of 2023, our outstanding balance of variable-rate debt was $1.4 billion. We are exposed to market risk due to the possibility of changing interest rates. While not predictive, a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would result in an increase of approximately $7.1 million in annual interest expense.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We operate in international markets, which expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and various foreign currencies, the most significant of which is the Euro. In addition, volatile market conditions could result in changes in exchange rates.
Historically, the majority of our revenue contracts are denominated in U.S. Dollars, with the most significant exception being Europe, where we invoice primarily in Euro. Additionally, a portion of our expenses, primarily the cost to manufacture, cost of personnel to deliver technical support on our products and professional services, sales and sales support, and research and development are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro.
Revenue resulting from selling in local currencies and costs incurred in local currencies are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which can affect our operating income. As exchange rates vary, operating income may differ from expectations. In the second quarter and first two quarters of 2023, unfavorable impacts from foreign currency exchange rates were $2.7 million and $18.4 million on revenue and $1.9 million and $6.3 million on operating income.
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on cash, debt, and certain trade and intercompany receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Euro, Canadian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars, Brazilian Real, and British Pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate movements, as the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances are generally offset with the gains and losses on the forward contracts. We occasionally enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the purchase price of some of our larger business acquisitions. In connection with the acquisition of Transporeon, we entered into foreign currency exchange rate contracts to minimize foreign currency fluctuations on the €1.9 billion purchase price, which were settled on April 3, 2023.
Our foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market through earnings every period and generally range in maturity from one to two months, or from four to six months for acquisitions. We do not enter into foreign currency contracts for trading purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at the end of the second quarter of 2023 and at the end of 2022 are summarized as follows (in millions):
