Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased 13.8% in Q2 and 9.6% YTD compared to the prior year. This was primarily driven by a 19.1% drop in equipment sales due to softening demand from lower agricultural commodity prices and projected crop receipts.
• Margin Compression: Gross profit margin declined to 17.1% in Q2 (from 17.7% prior year) and 16.2% YTD (from 18.5% prior year). Equipment gross margin specifically fell to 6.6% in Q2 from 9.2% in the prior year.
• Profitability: The company reported a net loss of $6.0 million in Q2, widening from a $4.3 million loss in the prior year. YTD, the company reported a net loss of $19.2 million compared to net income of $5.1 million in the prior year.
• Segment Performance:
  • Agriculture: Revenue down 18.5% QoQ; reported a pre-tax loss of $12.3 million.
  • Europe: Revenue up 44.0% QoQ, driven by EU stimulus programs in Romania; reported pre-tax income of $5.1 million.
  • Australia: Revenue down 50.1% QoQ due to normalization of sprayer deliveries after a backlog; reported a pre-tax loss of $2.1 million.
  • Construction: Revenue down 10.2% QoQ; reported a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million.
• Interest Expense: Floorplan interest expense decreased by $2.4 million in Q2 due to lower interest-bearing inventory levels and lower variable rates.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management notes that total crop receipts are projected to decline 2.5% year-over-year. The company expects challenging industry conditions to continue, impacting customer sentiment and equipment purchases.
• Acquisitions: On May 15, 2025, the company acquired Farmers Implement and Irrigation, Inc. for $13.4 million, adding a New Holland dealership in South Dakota.
• Impairments: The company recognized $0.3 million in impairment charges for long-lived assets in the Agriculture segment in Q2. In the prior year Q2, there were goodwill and intangible impairments in the Europe segment.
• Liquidity: The company maintains $1.5 billion in floorplan and working capital lines of credit. Management believes current cash flow and borrowing capacity are sufficient for the next 12 months. Certain fixed charge coverage covenants were waived by lenders through January 31, 2026.
• Risks: Key risks include the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on Ukrainian operations, dependence on CNH for inventory allocation, potential tariff impacts on wholesale prices, and the ability to reduce inventory levels to target amounts.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Inventory Levels: Verify the trend in equipment inventory ($1.14 billion) and the company's ability to manage it down to target levels amidst declining sales.
• Equipment Margins: Monitor the sustainability of the 6.6% equipment gross margin and the impact of potential tariff-induced cost increases.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm the status of the fixed charge coverage ratio waivers and the adjusted debt-to-tangible net worth ratio (3.5x limit).
• European Operations: Assess the sustainability of the 44% revenue growth in Europe driven by stimulus programs and the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the Ukrainian subsidiary.
• Australian Normalization: Evaluate the extent of the revenue decline in Australia as the backlog of sprayer deliveries normalizes.
