The tax rate for both GAAP and non-GAAP results was 16 percent for the second quarter of 2012 as compared to 10 percent in the second quarter of 2011, due primarily to the geographical mix of revenue and the failure to date by the federal government to reinstate the federal R&D tax credit for 2012.

“Trimble continues to demonstrate strong growth despite European uncertainties, North American drought and unfavorable exchange rates. While year to year revenue growth was reinforced by acquisitions, underlying organic growth continues to be robust,” said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble’s president and chief executive officer. “We remain mindful of the ongoing exposure of the worldwide economy to European centered uncertainty. Nonetheless, we currently see growth opportunities in all other regions and in most elements of our product portfolio.”

The improvement in operating income was due to higher gross margins and operating leverage.
