WEST FARGO, N.D., Nov. 23, 2021 (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 third quarter ended October 31, 2021.
David Meyer, Titan Machinery's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The ongoing strength of the broader agriculture sector continues to fuel demand for equipment across our business and equipment revenue grew 37% on a consolidated basis in the third quarter. The combination of our larger base of revenues, healthy inventory position, and lean infrastructure has allowed for powerful operating leverage that drove a 109% increase in pre-tax income for the quarter. At the segment-level, this operating leverage is visible in our Agriculture segment, which benefited from better than expected crop yields across our footprint, and produced a pre-tax margin of 7%, which is a record quarterly high margin for the segment. Our Construction and International segments are also generating strong gains in profitability, each producing another solid quarter and building upon the improvements made fiscal year-to-date. We are excited about finishing the fiscal year on a strong note after a successful harvest and construction season and will continue to work toward delivering the unmatched customer service that Titan Machinery is known for."
Fiscal 2022 Third Quarter Results
Consolidated Results
For the third quarter of fiscal 2022, revenue increased to $454.0 million compared to $360.9 million in the third quarter last year. Equipment sales were $329.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $240.9 million in the third quarter last year. Parts sales were $80.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $76.8 million in the third quarter last year. Revenue generated from service was $32.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $30.7 million in the third quarter last year. Revenue from rental and other was $11.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $12.5 million in the third quarter last year. Rental revenue was down due to a decrease in inventory rentals, a reduced rental fleet and the January 2021 divestiture of the Company's construction stores in Arizona. While the fleet was smaller compared to the prior year, the dollar utilization of the fleet improved to 31.4% in the quarter compared to 25.7% in the same period last year.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $92.5 million, compared to $72.6 million in the third quarter last year. The Company's gross profit margin increased to 20.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to 20.1% in the third quarter last year. Gross profit margin primarily increased due to stronger equipment margins, which were partially offset by mix, with a greater proportion of equipment revenue this year versus higher margin parts and service revenue as compared to the third quarter of the prior year.
Operating expenses increased by $8.8 million to $62.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $54.1 million in the third quarter last year, primarily due to higher variable expenses on increased revenues. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 110 basis points to 13.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to 15.0% of revenue in the prior year period. The Company did not recognize any impairments related to goodwill or intangible and long-lived assets in the current year period, but did recognize impairments of $2.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Floorplan and other interest expense was $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $1.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower floorplan borrowings.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, net income was $21.8 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.97, compared to net income of $9.9 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.44, for the third quarter of last year.
On an adjusted basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $21.7 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.96, compared to adjusted net income of $12.0 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.53, for the third quarter of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $35.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $24.8 million in the third quarter of last year.
Segment Results Agriculture Segment - Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $281.5 million, compared to $220.6 million in the third quarter last year. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by strong demand for equipment. Pre-tax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $19.6 million, compared to $13.6 million of pre-tax income and adjusted pre-tax income of $13.8 million in the third quarter last year.
Construction Segment - Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $79.7 million, compared to $79.0 million in the third quarter last year. While revenue was essentially flat versus the prior year period, same-store sales increased 11.1% primarily due to increased equipment demand, but was offset by the lost contributions from the Company's Arizona stores following the January 2021 divestiture. Pre-tax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $3.6 million, compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter last year.
InternationalSegment - Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $92.7 million, compared to $61.2 million in the third quarter last year. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by strong equipment sales. Pre-tax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $6.3 million, compared to a pre-tax loss of $2.4 million in the third quarter last year. Adjusted pre-tax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $6.1 million, compared to $0.2 million in the third quarter last year.
Fiscal 2022 First Nine Months Results
Revenue was $1.2 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared to $974.5 million for the same period last year. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $43.6 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.6 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $44.8 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net income of $22.0 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $78.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, compared to $51.7 million in the same period last year.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $90.5 million. Inventories decreased modestly to $412.7 million as of October 31, 2021, compared to $418.5 million as of January 31, 2021. This inventory decrease includes a $14.7 million decrease in equipment inventory, which reflects an increase in new equipment inventory of $28.9 million and a $43.6 million decrease in used equipment inventory, and a $7.7 million increase in parts inventory. Outstanding floorplan payables were $174.7 million on $753.0 million total available floorplan lines of credit as of October 31, 2021, compared to $161.8 million outstanding floorplan payables as of January 31, 2021.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $72.3 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $60.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
Jaycox Implement Acquisition
On October 20, 2021, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the assets of Jaycox Implement, Inc. ("Jaycox"), which consists of three full-line Case IH agriculture dealerships located in Worthington, MN, Luverne, MN, and Lake Park, IA. In the trailing twelve-month period ended June 30, 2021, Jaycox generated revenue of approximately $91 million. This all cash transaction is expected to close in early December 2021 and is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings per diluted share.
Mr. Meyer concluded, "While supply chains remain challenged, we are getting factory shipments, as well as leveraging our parts and equipment inventories collaboratively across our network of stores. This has allowed us to take care of our customers during the critical harvest and pre-winter construction season - which enabled us to continue to deliver strong top line growth. Looking to the fourth quarter, we remain confident that we will be able to sustain our increased sales momentum and profitability, which we believe will allow us to deliver a record year of earnings per share. We are deploying our cash by pursuing quality acquisitions that will continue to enhance our footprint and deliver shareholder value such as the recent announcement of the Jaycox transaction."
Fiscal 2022 Modeling Assumptions
The following are the Company's current expectations for fiscal 2022 modeling assumptions.
Current Assumptions
Previous Assumptions
Segment Revenue
Agriculture(1)
Up 23-28%
Up 18-23%
Construction(2)
Up 2-7%
Up 2-7%
International(3)
Up 35-40%
Up 27-32%
Diluted EPS(4)
$2.40 - $2.60
$2.00 - $2.20
(1) Includes the full year impact of the HorizonWest acquisition completed in May 2020. Assumes anticipated partial quarter contribution of the Jaycox acquisition following expected closing in early December 2021.
(2) Includes the full year impact of the Phoenix and Tucson, AZ store divestitures in January 2021. Adjusting full year fiscal 2021 net sales by $27 million, representing the fiscal 2021 net sales of these divested stores, results in a same-store sales assumption of up approximately 10-15%.
(3) Assumes an immaterial impact from the divestiture of our single store dealership in Serbia in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
(4) Includes expenses related to ERP implementation.

Change in Non-GAAP Measures
Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company discontinued the use of the Adjusted Cash-flow measure and revised its presentation of two non-GAAP measures, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS, to better align with SEC guidance. The adjustment for income tax valuation allowance, a non-cash tax expense related to the use of deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions, will no longer be included in these two non-GAAP measures. For comparability, references to prior periods' non-GAAP measures have also been updated to show the effect of omitting the income tax valuation allowance from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS - see tables included in the Non-GAAP Reconciliations section below.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Within this release, the Company refers to certain adjusted financial measures, which have directly comparable GAAP financial measures as identified in this release. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating current period performance and in assessing future performance. For these reasons, internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, the non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments for items such as impairment charges, Ukraine remeasurement gains/losses and charges associated with our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system transition during fiscal 2021. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for, the GAAP financial measures presented in this release and the Company's financial statements and other publicly filed reports. Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted financial measures used in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations are attached to this release. The tables included in the Non-GAAP Reconciliations section reconcile adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, and adjusted income (loss) before income taxes (all non-GAAP financial measures) for the periods presented, to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
