Titan Machinery (TITN) Inks Deal to Buy Idaho Dealerships
Read MoreHide Full Article
Titan Machinery Inc. (TITN - Free Report) announced that it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the Idaho dealership assets of Pioneer Farm Equipment Co. The deal adds five full-line Case IH agriculture dealerships in southeastern Idaho. Two of these also deal with Case Construction equipment.
Pioneer generated revenues of around $60 million last year. It has been catering to customers in the highly productive Snake River Valley area in southeastern Idaho for over two decades. This region is a strategic fit for Titan Machinery as it supports large industry volumes and has similar crops and machine specifications to other markets served by the company.
The acquisition is expected to close in February 2023. It will help TITN build upon the Heartland acquisition that was completed in July this year. The Heartland acquisition provided Titan Machinery access to the Case IH full line of application equipment products. Heartland also has an established presence in Idaho with commercial application equipment customers.
Titan Machinery recently reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.83 in third-quarter fiscal 2023 (ended Oct 31, 2022), beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.15. The bottom line increased 91% from the EPS of 96 cents reported in the year-ago fiscal quarter.
The upside can be attributed to solid performances in the Agricultural segment as well as strong contributions from each of its revenue streams - equipment, parts and service. Total revenues in the reported quarter were $669 million, up 47% from the year-ago fiscal quarter. The top line surpassed the consensus mark of $655 million.
Titan Machinery expects the agriculture segment’s revenues to increase 55-60% in fiscal 2023. TITN expects EPS for fiscal 2023 to be around $4.70 per share, compared to the previously guided range between $3.70 and $4.00. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s earnings for fiscal 2023 is currently pegged at $4.82, indicating year-over-year growth of 61.7%.
