Forward guidance

The company anticipates strong governmental demand for its products for the remainder of 2024 and well into the first half of 2025. They are not expecting significant improvement in the agricultural equipment market until late 2025, but the outlook in forestry and tree care is somewhat better.

Tailwinds

  • Governmental demand for products expected to be strong through the first half of 2025.
  • The significant damage caused by the recent storms in the Southeastern United States is beginning to drive demand for the Company’s woodchippers, grinders, and land clearing equipment to support the huge cleanup effort.
  • Optimism that the housing market will gradually improve given the current outlook for additional interest rate reductions in 2025.
  • A turnaround in housing starts would provide a solid boost to demand for forestry and tree care equipment.
  • Confidence in the ability to complete the consolidation activities now underway as well as the strength in our industrial and governmental businesses.

Headwinds

  • Caution due to no expected material changes in market conditions in the final weeks of 2024.
  • Modest tempering due to imminent National elections in the U.S., and the future direction of Federal fiscal policy is uncertain.
  • Not anticipating significant improvement in the agricultural equipment market until late 2025.
  • Weakness in markets for Vegetation Management equipment continued during the quarter as elevated interest rates and a challenging macro economy constrained demand.
  • Farm equipment dealer inventory, despite coming down most of this year, remained elevated.
