Titan Machinery revenues grow 35% in Q2

Titan Machinery says its revenues grew 35% year-over-year during Q2 compared with the same period last year, rising from $303.5 million in Q2 2020 to $377.6 million this year. 

David Meyer, Titan's chairman and CEO says he was "especially pleased with the improved performance of both our construction and international segments. Our construction segment pre-tax income grew 105% versus the prior year and our International segment pre-tax income increased by $0.9 million, and on an adjusted basis by $2.4 million, versus the prior year."

The CNH Industrial dealer says equipment sales were $272.7 million in Q2, compared to $202.7 million during the same period last year. Parts sales rose from $61.5 million to $65.3 million.

The company's construction segment rose from $77.7 million during Q2 2020 to $80.9 million, driven by increased equipment sales partially offset by lower parts, service and rental revenue resulting from the firm's divestment in Arizona. 

The company released expectations for the current year, and expects its agricultural segment to be up 18% to 23%, construction to be up 2% to 7% and its international segment to be up 27% to 32%.

"Our inventory turns are continuing to trend upward and we are receiving inventory shipments that are allowing us to surpass our revenue targets," says Meyer. "While supply chains remain tight, we are confident in our ability to drive growth through the second half of our fiscal year and, as a result, we are raising our modeling assumptions accordingly."
