Trimble 2025 Q2 Earnings Beats Expectations, Net Income Dives 93%

Trimble's Q2 2025 results exceeded expectations with record annualized recurring revenue of $2.21 billion. The company raised full-year guidance, reflecting strong business momentum and execution. GAAP net income, however, fell sharply year-over-year.

Revenue
Trimble's total revenue increased slightly by 0.6% year-over-year to $875.70 million in Q2 2025. With specific segment revenue listed as follows: the AECO segment reported revenue of $350.3 million, the Field Systems segment generated $392.7 million, and the T&L segment earned $132.7 million. These figures illustrate the company's diversified revenue base, with the Field Systems segment maintaining the strongest performance in the quarter.

Earnings/Net Income
Trimble's earnings per share (EPS) dropped sharply from $5.37 in Q2 2024 to $0.37 in Q2 2025, a decline of 93.1%. GAAP net income also fell from $1.32 billion to $89.20 million, a 93.2% decrease year-over-year. The drop in net income can be attributed to several factors, including one-time costs from acquisitions and divestitures and restructuring expenses. Despite this, Trimble has maintained profitability for over 20 consecutive years in this fiscal quarter, highlighting its operational resilience.
