"Our revenue growth in the quarter did not meet our expectation. While our original expectation anticipated conservative buying behavior by our users as a result of economic uncertainties, we were further impacted by the direct and indirect effects of the U.S. sequester and severe weather conditions in Europe and North America which delayed both the agricultural and construction seasons," said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble's president and chief executive officer. "In spite of the pressure on revenue, we maintained non-GAAP operating margins close to twenty percent and increased our non-GAAP gross margin compared to the first quarter of 2012. We do not believe the fundamentals of our markets have changed and our long term expectations remain unchanged.  While we are cautious about second quarter prospects, we currently anticipate improved organic growth in the second half of 2013."
