WEST FARGO, N.D., March 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Titan Machinery Inc. (Nasdaq: TITN), a leading network of full-service agricultural and construction equipment stores, today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended January 31, 2025.
"Our fiscal fourth quarter results reflect a significant step forward in the execution of our inventory reduction initiative, particularly in our domestic Agriculture segment. We reduced inventory by approximately $304 million during the fourth quarter, bringing our total reduction since our fiscal second quarter peak to approximately $419 million," commented Bryan Knutson, Titan Machinery's President and Chief Executive Officer. "While this accelerated reduction came at the expense of our equipment margins in the short-run, this was a key lever that we felt was necessary to improve our position as we transition into fiscal 2026 with a more subdued demand environment. Looking ahead, we expect to make further headway on our equipment inventory initiatives both domestically and abroad this fiscal year. This will be comprised of a further reduction in absolute dollars and optimizing our product mix to best meet demand in this phase of the industry cycle."
Mr. Knutson continued, "I'm incredibly proud of the entire Titan team for their focus on this initiative, which required coordination across all facets of our business, while not losing sight of our broader initiatives surrounding our customer care strategy, which delivered strong service revenue growth of 14.5% for the full fiscal year."
Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter Results
Consolidated Results For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, revenue was $759.9 million, compared to $852.1 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Equipment revenue was $621.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $714.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. Parts revenue was $89.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $90.8 million in the fourth quarter last year. Revenue generated from service was $36.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $35.1 million in the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from rental and other was $12.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $12.2 million in the fourth quarter last year.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $51.0 million compared to $141.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. The Company's gross profit margin was 6.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 16.6% in the fourth quarter last year. The year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to lower equipment margins, particularly on used equipment, driven by softer retail demand and the Company's initiative to accelerate its inventory reduction efforts to achieve targeted levels sooner.
Operating expenses were $96.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $100.3 million in the fourth quarter last year. The decrease was driven primarily by lower variable expenses driven by the year-over-year decline in revenue and profitability. Operating expense as a percentage of revenue was 12.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 11.8% of revenue in the fourth quarter last year.
Floorplan interest expense and other interest expense was $13.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $9.3 million for the same period last year. On a sequential quarter basis, floorplan and other interest expense decreased 8.5% reflecting our efforts to reduce interest-bearing inventory in the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, net loss was $43.8 million, with loss per diluted share of $1.93. This compares to net income of $24.0 million, with earnings per diluted share of $1.05, for the fourth quarter of last year. Adjusted net loss, which excludes the reversal of certain sale-leaseback financing expenses that the Company incurred in the second quarter, was $44.9 million or $1.98 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was negative $46.0 million, compared to positive $45.3 million of EBITDA generated in the fourth quarter of last year.
Segment Results Agriculture Segment - Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $534.7 million, compared to $620.6 million in the fourth quarter last year. The decrease reflects a same-store sales decrease of 15.5%, partially offset by contributions from the acquisition of Scott Supply in January 2024. The revenue decrease resulted from a softening demand for equipment being driven by the decline of net farm income and sustained high interest rates. Pre-tax loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $55.3 million, compared to $28.8 million pre-tax income in the fourth quarter of the prior year, the decrease was driven by accelerated inventory reduction measures.
Construction Segment - Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $94.6 million, compared to $100.1 million in the fourth quarter last year. The year-over-year decrease in revenue reflects a same-store sales decrease of 5.5%, which was impacted by expected timing differences of equipment deliveries between the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024. Pre-tax loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.1 million, compared to $4.6 million pre-tax income in the fourth quarter last year.
Europe Segment - Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $65.4 million, compared to $61.6 million in the fourth quarter last year, which includes a $0.2 million decrease in revenue from foreign currency fluctuations. Net of the effect of these foreign currency fluctuations, revenue increased $4.0 million or 6.5%. Pre-tax loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.8 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year.
Australia Segment - Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $65.3 million, compared to $69.8 million in the fourth quarter last year, which includes a $0.6 million increase in revenue from foreign currency fluctuations. Net of the effect of these foreign currency fluctuations, revenue decreased $5.1 million or 7.3%. Pre-tax income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $2.3 million, compared to $4.1 million pre-tax income in the fourth quarter last year.
Fiscal 2025 Full Year Results
Revenue was $2.7 billion for fiscal 2025 compared to $2.8 billion for fiscal 2024. Net loss for fiscal 2025 was $36.9 million, or $1.63 loss per diluted share. This compares to prior year net income of $112.4 million, or $4.93 earnings per diluted share. Adjusted net loss, which excludes the net impact of items related to sale-leaseback financing expenses, was $29.7 million or $1.31 loss per diluted share for fiscal 2025. The Company generated adjusted EBITDA of $12.8 million in fiscal 2025 compared to EBITDA of $189.3 million in fiscal 2024.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $35.9 million. Inventories were $1.1 billion as of January 31, 2025, down approximately $304.4 million from $1.4 billion as of October 31, 2024, and down approximately $419.1 million from peak inventory of $1.5 billion as of July 31, 2024. This reflects the Company's progress in executing its equipment inventory reduction initiative. Outstanding floorplan payables were $755.7 million on $1.5 billion total available floorplan and working capital lines of credit as of January 31, 2025, compared to $893.8 million outstanding floorplan payables as of January 31, 2024.
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, the Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $70.3 million, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $32.3 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by a decrease in inventory and favorable collection of outstanding receivables, which was partially offset by a decrease in manufactured floorplan payables and net income for fiscal 2025 compared to the prior year period. Net cash used for financing activities was $23.6 million in fiscal year 2025, which compared to $188.6 million net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2024. This change was primarily driven by a $220.8 million decrease in non-manufacturer floorplan payables, which represents the Company's other credit lines including its Bank Syndicate Agreement.
Additional Management Commentary
Mr. Knutson concluded, "We are introducing modeling assumptions for fiscal 2026 that are consistent with industry forecasts which are suggesting that demand for North American large agriculture equipment will be down approximately 30% year-over-year. Although the demand environment is expected to weaken in the near-term, the acceleration of significant inventory reduction efforts achieved in fiscal 2025 will allow us to be much more nimble as we seek to operate in tandem with evolving market conditions. Our outlook implies continued margin pressure associated with our ongoing inventory reduction and mix optimization efforts. While we will be working hard to mitigate this impact, we believe it is prudent to set expectations conservatively in this fluid environment where demand is subdued. Our aim is to ensure that we are well positioned heading into fiscal 2027 where we expect to drive toward more normalized levels of profitability relative to the demand environment at that time."
