- Reiterates Recently Updated Fiscal 2025 Modeling Assumptions -
WEST FARGO, N.D., Aug. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Titan Machinery Inc. (Nasdaq: TITN) ("Titan" or the "Company"), a leading network of full-service agricultural and construction equipment stores, today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended July 31, 2024.
"As previously announced, our second quarter results reflect the challenging market conditions that are impacting farmer sentiment and agriculture equipment sales," commented Bryan Knutson, Titan Machinery's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In response to these market dynamics, we have been executing on the strategies we outlined: actively managing our inventory levels with a focus on used equipment, implementing targeted cost control measures, and further emphasizing our customer care initiatives to drive growth in our higher-margin parts and service businesses. The efficiencies and process improvements we've integrated into our business model since the last industry downturn are enhancing our ability to effectively manage through the current cycle and positioning us well to emerge stronger when market conditions improve. The improvements in our business, in conjunction with healthier industry dynamics, support our expectation that we will experience a more condensed contractionary period versus the previous cycle."

Additional Management Commentary
Mr. Knutson continued, "We recently updated our full year fiscal 2025 modeling assumptions in conjunction with the announcement of our preliminary fiscal second quarter results. In response to the softening of retail demand amid a difficult backdrop of significantly lower net farm income, we have implemented a more aggressive strategy to catalyze sales and reduce our inventories. This strategy requires compression of our near-term equipment margins, and we believe these deliberate actions will help shorten the impact of this contractionary cycle on our performance, and accelerate our return to a more normalized margin profile as the industry cycle progresses."
