In issuing its outlook for fiscal year 2013 this morning, Titan Machinery says the operating environment remains favorable.
David Meyer, Titan’s chairman and CEO, said, “As we begin fiscal 2013, we are excited about the outlook for our business and are confident that we are well positioned to build upon our positive momentum and generate another record year for Titan Machinery. We expect to benefit from continued organic and acquired growth, including our international expansion into Romania and Bulgaria and our expanding footprint in our core Upper Midwest market. In addition, the operating environment remains favorable for our customers for both of our business segments.”
Fiscal 2013 Outlook
The Company evaluates its financial performance based on its customers' annual production cycles as opposed to a quarterly basis, due to weather fluctuations and the seasonal nature of each customer's business. The Company is anticipating achieving increased revenue for the full year ending January 31, 2013 in a range of $1.95 billion to $2.1 billion. Net income attributable to common stockholders is expected to be in the range of $53.8 million to $58.0 million, resulting in an earnings per diluted share range of $2.55 to $2.75 based on estimated weighted average diluted common shares outstanding of 21.1 million.
