Insights

Senior Industrial Manufacturing Analyst

Titan delivered modest top-line growth, stronger margins, and solid free cash flow; Q4 guidance shows seasonal normalization.

The company reported Q3 revenue of $466 million, a 4% year-over-year increase, gross margin of 15.2%, Adjusted EBITDA of $30 million, and free cash flow of $30 million. These figures indicate the business produced positive operating cash and margin expansion while growing sales across the Ag and EMC segments and improving Consumer margins despite some tariff headwinds.

Key dependencies and risks are stated explicitly: near-term demand is influenced by tariffs, trade negotiations, and OEM vs aftermarket channel dynamics. Management highlighted reduced inventories and net debt reduction as supportive facts. The company expects Q4 sales between $385 million and $410 million with Adjusted EBITDA of around $10 million, and anticipates a seasonal volume uptick in Q1 2026.

Watch the following over the next 3–12 months: actual Q4 reported sales and Adjusted EBITDA versus the provided ranges, any updates on tariff/trade developments that management cites, and inventory/order trends that could validate the stated pickup in OEM demand into Q1 2026.

WEST CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI) ("Titan" or the "Company"), a leading global manufacturer of off-highway wheels, tires, assemblies, and undercarriage products, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The full earnings release including a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP figures can be found in the investor relations section of the Company's website at https://ir.titan-intl.com/news-and-events/news-releases/default.aspx.

Q3 2025 Key Figures

• Revenues grew 4% to $466 million
• Gross margin improved to 15.2%
• Adjusted EBITDA increased to $30 million
• Free cash flow of $30 million

Paul Reitz, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our Q3 2025 results were at the high end of our expectations as the strength of our One Titan Team combined with the diversity of our operations to deliver solid financial performance.   Our Ag and EMC segments each reported revenue growth compared with the prior year period along with expanded gross margins.  We also improved gross margins in our Consumer segment despite marginally lower revenues due to tariffs continuing to have some dampening effect on new equipment demand.  As our customers and end users begin looking towards 2026, more long-term trade deals, more static tariff rates and further interest rate relief stand as key catalysts for our business.  We are encouraged by the latest trade negotiation developments and the potential for substantial grain purchases by China in the future, which will be significant for US farmers.  It is important to remind everyone that Titan has unparalleled domestic capability with tires and wheels to serve OE and aftermarket customers in the farm and construction markets."

Mr. Reitz continued, "We continue to demonstrate focus on what we do best in serving our customers well with a strong product portfolio while reinforcing our competitive positioning as those efforts underpin solid performance through the cycle.  As global trade continues to be reordered, with a particular emphasis on reshoring manufacturing to the U.S., we are confident in our ability to benefit from an eventual resumption of OEM - based demand given Titan's position as the leading U.S. manufacturer across many of our product lines.  Again, emphasizing the diversity of our model, aftermarket sales continue to be less cyclical, providing an important offset to OEM channel softness.  Among the highlights from our third quarter, we continued to generate gross and EBITDA margins meaningfully above where they were during the last cyclical trough, allowing Titan to deliver Adjusted EBITDA at the high end of our guidance with accompanying strong free cash flow which allowed us to reduce our net debt.  Overall wheel and tire inventories across our segments are decreasing which is driving incremental ordering at certain customers and gives us confidence that broad-based demand will improve in due course." 

Company Outlook

David Martin, Chief Financial Officer added, "We expect this quarter's results to demonstrate moderate improvement from last year's fourth quarter with sales to be between $385 million and $410 million and Adjusted EBITDA of around $10 million and at the same time we are preparing for the calendar to turn and the seasonal volume uptick in Q1 2026."
