Toro (TTC), a leading provider of outdoor power equipment and lawn care solutions, reported its Q2 FY25 earnings on Thursday, June 5th. The company announced a non-GAAP EPS of $1.42, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.38 per share. However, revenues of $1.32 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $30 million, or 1.94%. The company's shares have lost about 5.6% since the beginning of the year, while the S&P 500 has gained 1.5%.The residential segment sales decreased by 11.4% year-over-year (Y/Y) to $297.4 million, primarily due to lower shipments of walk power mowers, zero-turn mowers, and portable power products. The professional segment sales increased by 0.8% Y/Y to $1.014 billion, driven by higher shipments of golf and grounds products. However, this was partly negated by a decline in underground and specialty construction product shipments and the prior year's construction equipment dealer divestitures.
Adjusted gross margin for the quarter decreased to 33.4% from 33.6% last year, impacted by higher material and manufacturing costs, along with inventory valuation adjustments. Adjusted operating margin for the quarter was 13.7%, down from 14.2% in the same period last year.
The company lowered its full-year adjusted EPS outlook to $4.15-$4.30, compared to the previous estimate of $4.25-$4.40, and the net sales growth outlook to flat to -3%, compared to 0% to 1%. Richard M. Olson, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, "We are taking decisive steps to strategically position the company to navigate near-term headwinds."
The Zacks Rank for Toro has been downgraded to #3 (Hold) due to the mixed earnings outlook and the lowered full-year guidance.
