Titan Machinery’s Q4 Revenues Decline Y/Y
Total revenues in the reported quarter were around $760 million, down 11% from the year-ago quarter’s $852 million. The top line, however, surpassed the consensus mark of $748 million.
Equipment revenues fell 13% year over year to $622 million, and parts revenues dipped 1.6% to $89 million. Revenues generated from service were $36.6 million, up 4.3% from the year-ago quarter. Meanwhile, rental revenues edged down 0.6% year over year to $12.1 million.
TITN Sees Gross Margin Contraction, Negative EBITDA in Q4
The cost of sales dipped 0.3% year over year to $709 million. Gross profit plunged 64% year over year to $51 million. The gross margin was 6.7%, a 990-basis point contraction from the year-ago quarter. The contraction resulted from lower equipment margins, (mainly on used equipment) due to softer retail demand. Titan Machinery's aggressive drive to reduce its equipment inventory to targeted levels contributed to the decline.
Operating expenses decreased 3.6% from the year-ago quarter to $96.7 million due to lower variable expenses, attributed to the year-over-year decline in revenues and profitability. Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $46 million against a positive $45.3 million in the year-ago quarter.
Titan Machinery’s Segment Performances in Q4
Agriculture revenues fell 14% to $535 million from the prior-year quarter. Demand has been weak due to lower net farm income and sustained high interest rates. Same-store sales were down 15.5%, partially offset by contributions from the acquisition of Scott Supply in January 2024. The segment reported a loss before taxes of $55.3 million against the year-ago quarter’s income of $28.8 million, reflecting TITN’s accelerated inventory reduction measures.
Construction revenues were $95 million in the fiscal fourth quarter, down 5.5% from the prior-year quarter. Same-store sales declined 5.5%, impacted by expected timing differences of equipment deliveries between the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024. The segment reported a loss before taxes of $1.1 million against the year-ago quarter’s income of $4.6 million.
The Europe segment’s revenues were $65 million, up from the year-ago quarter’s $62 million. The segment reported a loss before taxes of $1.8 million compared with the year-ago quarter’s loss of $0.6 million.
