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."
Agriculture Segment - Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $424.0 million, compared to $469.1 million in the second quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to a same-store sales decrease of 11.2%, partially offset by contributions from the acquisition of Scott Supply, Co. in January 2024. The revenue decrease resulted from a softening of demand for equipment purchases due to lower farmer sentiment which is being driven by the decline of net farm income and sustained high interest rates. Pre-tax income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $0.6 million, compared to $33.0 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Included in the results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, was a $6.1 million one-time, non-cash sale-leaseback expense.
