West Fargo, ND – March 26, 2020 – 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, 2020.

David Meyer, Titan Machinery’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Full year fiscal 2020 performance demonstrated our ability to drive profitability in challenging industry conditions. Modest growth in equipment revenue was supported by strong double-digit growth from our higher margin parts and service businesses. Our commitment to providing strong customer support in parts and service, combined with an efficient operating model, enabled us to drive adjusted earnings per share growth of 17.9% for the year. As we look to fiscal 2021, we remain focused on providing exceptional uninterrupted customer service, safeguarding our employees and managing the controllable aspects of the business as we carefully navigate the COVID-19 global health crisis. We believe the strength of our balance sheet and business model will enable us to achieve long-term top line growth, both organically as well as through acquisitions. Due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we believe it is prudent to not provide specific full year fiscal 2021 guidance at this time."

Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter Results

Consolidated Results

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, revenue was $351.0 million, compared to revenue of $359.6 million in the fourth quarter last year. Equipment revenue was $262.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $284.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. Parts revenue was $52.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $43.9 million in the fourth quarter last year. Revenue generated from service was $22.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $18.8 million in the fourth quarter last year. Revenue from rental and other was $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $13.0 million in the fourth quarter last year.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 increased to $61.1 million compared to $55.6 million in the fourth quarter last year. The Company's gross profit margin increased to 17.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to 15.5% in the fourth quarter last year. Gross profit margin increased primarily due to mix, with a greater proportion of higher margin parts and service revenue compared to equipment revenue, which was further supported by strong equipment margin performance versus the prior year.

Operating expenses were $60.1 million or 17.1% of revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $53.9 million or 15.0% of revenue for the fourth quarter last year. Current quarter expenses were impacted by $2.4 million of ERP transition costs as well as expenses associated with the third quarter addition of the Company’s Northwood store location.

Floorplan and other interest expense was $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $2.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease was due to lower interest expense resulting from the May 1, 2019 retirement of the remaining balance of the Company’s convertible notes.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, net income was $0.7 million, or earnings per share of $0.03, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or loss per diluted share of $0.10 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

On an adjusted basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The adjusted fourth quarter fiscal 2020 net income of $0.5 million excludes a $4.6 million benefit related to income tax valuation allowance adjustments.

The Company generated $8.1 million in adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Fiscal 2020 Full Year Results

Revenue increased 3.5% to $1.3 billion for fiscal 2020. Net income for fiscal 2020 was $14.0 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $12.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the prior year.

The Company generated adjusted EBITDA of $53.1 million in fiscal 2020, representing an increase of 6.7% compared to adjusted EBITDA of $49.8 million in fiscal 2019.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company ended the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 with $43.7 million of cash. The Company’s equipment inventory level increased to $515.9 million as of January 31, 2020, compared to $417.0 million as of January 31, 2019. As of January 31, 2020, the Company had $371.8 million outstanding floorplan payables, on $717.0 million total floorplan lines of credit, compared to $273.8 million in floorplan payables as of January 31, 2019. The increase in the Company's floorplan payable balance is primarily due to increased equipment inventory and the payoff of the Company's convertible notes on May 1, 2019.

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 million, compared to $46.6 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019. The Company evaluates its cash flow from operating activities net of all floorplan payable activity and maintaining a constant level of equity in its equipment inventory. Taking these adjustments into account, adjusted net cash provided by operating activities was $17.8 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, compared to $47.4 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019.

Announcement of HorizonWest Acquisition

On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire HorizonWest Inc., which consists of a three store CaseIH agriculture dealership complex in Scottsbluff and Sidney, Nebraska and Torrington, Wyoming. In its most recent fiscal year, HorizonWest generated revenue of approximately $26 million. The Company expects to close the acquisition in May 2020.

Mr. Meyer concluded, "The acquisition of HorizonWest's three store dealership complex in western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming is contiguous to Titan Machinery's footprint and a great fit for our business. We continue to work towards strategic acquisitions in our existing markets and are pleased to bring the HorizonWest team into the Titan Machinery family."
