Toro reports 14% increase in fiscal second-quarter earnings

OPEI SmartBrief | May 25, 2012

Toro announced its fiscal second-quarter earnings increased 14% to $68.8 million in the period that ended May 4 and sales rose 9.5%. The company credits the increase to an early spring season, which drove the demand for landscaping equipment used for golf courses and residential properties. "While a portion of our results was the benefit of an accelerated spring, we are hopeful the early start will extend the selling season and drive incremental sales," Toro CEO Michael Hoffman said.
