## Cross-quarter narrative

Across the nine calls Toro’s story shifts from a 7% sales lift in late‑2024 tempered by homeowner caution to a 2026 outlook where professional segments—underground, golf and snow/ice—drive growth while residential sales slump sharply. Early calls stress macro‑economic uncertainty, high interest rates and inventory excess, prompting a lowered full‑year sales guide in Q3 2024 and again in Q2 2025. By Q4 2024 the company leans on productivity gains and the AMP cost‑saving program to offset margin pressure from higher material and freight costs. Professional demand remains robust, reflected in consistent backlog upgrades and new product roll‑outs (autonomous mowers, electric equipment). Residential weakness deepens through 2025, amplified by delayed spring, weak consumer confidence and tariff headwinds that surface in mid‑2025. Inventory levels, initially heavy, show gradual draw‑down but stay above targets. Guidance moves from lowered (2024‑2025) to raised (2026) as cost‑saving initiatives mature and the Tornado acquisition adds infrastructure exposure. Macro‑economic and material‑cost concerns persist, while tariff exposure and residential demand weakness emerge as recurring risks.
