*For Immediate Release*

**The Toro Company Reports Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Results**

*Operating Performance Driven By Strength in Professional Segment*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Underground construction and golf and grounds were primary drivers of net sales and profitability for the quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Third-quarter net sales were $1.13 billion, down 2 percent from the same period in fiscal 2024, with approximately half of this difference due to prior year divestitures of non-core assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Third-quarter reported diluted earnings per share were $0.54, including a non-cash impairment charge of ($0.62) per diluted share, or ($81) million pretax. The impairment reflects the impact of weak homeowner demand and a slower-than-expected market recovery for the Spartan business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Third quarter \*adjusted diluted earnings per share up 5 percent year-over-year to $1.24, as improved professional segment profits more than offset lower residential segment earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Deliberate actions to improve efficiency are delivering meaningful cost reductions, with the AMP program on track to deliver run rate savings of at least $100 million by 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The company continued to drive improvement in free cash flow through the third quarter due to net favorable working capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full-year fiscal 2025 net sales and earnings per share guidance remain within previously communicated ranges.

**BLOOMINGTON, Minn.—(BUSINESS WIRE) — September 4, 2025—**The Toro Company (NYSE: TTC), a leading global provider of solutions for the outdoor environment, today reported results for its fiscal third quarter ended August 1, 2025.

"We delivered third quarter adjusted earnings that exceeded our expectations, with our Professional segment achieving 6 percent growth and 250 basis points of margin expansion," said Richard M. Olson, chairman and chief executive officer. "Strong momentum in underground construction and golf and grounds, coupled with savings from our AMP productivity program, enabled us to exceed adjusted earnings expectations despite headwinds in our Residential segment. Looking ahead, while we are taking a prudent approach, given challenges in Residential, our continued innovation leadership and focus on productivity, position us to further improve profitability and shareholder returns as markets recover."

------

**<u>OUTLOOK</u>**

"We are taking decisive actions to strengthen our resilience and accelerate performance. Our AMP program, delivering $75 million in annualized savings today and targeting at least $100 million by 2027, combined with proactive tariff mitigation and strategic capacity alignment, positions us to deliver earnings growth independent of revenue expansion," concluded Olson.

For fiscal 2025, management expects total company net sales and adjusted diluted earnings per share to both be at the lower end of prior guidance ranges: net sales flat to down 3% and \*adjusted diluted earnings per share of about $4.15.

This guidance is based on current visibility, inclusive of anticipated tariff impacts, and reflects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a reduction in volume from macro factors that have driven increased homeowner and channel caution,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued strong demand and stable supply for our underground construction and golf and grounds businesses, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• weather patterns aligned with historical averages for the remainder of the year.

**<u>THIRD-QUARTER FISCAL 2025 SEGMENT RESULTS</u>**

**Professional Segment**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Professional segment net sales for the third quarter were $930.8 million, up 5.7% from $880.9 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher shipments of underground construction and golf and grounds products, as well as net price realization, partially offset by prior year divestitures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Professional segment earnings for the third quarter were $198.5 million, up from $165.7 million in the same period last year, and when expressed as a percentage of net sales, 21.3%, up from 18.8% in the prior-year period. The increase in profitability was primarily due to productivity improvements, net price realization, net sales leverage, cost savings measures, and lower marketing costs, partially offset by higher material and manufacturing costs.

**Residential Segment**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Residential segment net sales for the third quarter were $192.8 million, down 27.9% from $267.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower shipments across the segment due to lower demand from homeowners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Residential segment earnings for the third quarter were $3.7 million, down from $32.6 million in the same period last year, and when expressed as a percentage of net sales, 1.9%, down from 12.2% in the prior-year period. The decrease was largely driven by lower net sales volume, higher material and manufacturing costs, inventory valuation adjustments, and higher sales promotions and incentives, partially offset by productivity improvements and cost savings measures.

**<u>OPERATING RESULTS</u>**

Gross margin and \*adjusted gross margin for the third quarter were 33.7% and 34.4%, respectively, down from 34.8% and 35.4%, respectively, in the same prior-year period. The change in gross margin was primarily due to lower net sales volume, higher material and manufacturing costs and inventory valuation adjustments, partially offset by productivity improvements, net price realization, and product mix.

SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter was 20.8%, compared with 22.0% in the prior-year period, primarily driven by cost savings measures and lower marketing costs, partially offset by lower net sales volume.

Operating earnings as a percentage of net sales were 5.7% for the third quarter, compared with 12.8% in the same prior-year period. \*Adjusted operating earnings as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter were 13.6%, compared with 13.7% in the same prior-year period.

Interest expense was $15.1 million for the third quarter, up $0.6 million from the same prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by lower average interest rates.

The reported effective tax rate for the third quarter was 7.4%, compared with 17.3% in the same prior-year period, primarily due to the impact of the non-cash impairment charge and a more favorable geographic mix of earnings, partially offset by lower tax benefits recorded as excess tax deductions for stock-based compensation. The \*adjusted effective tax rate for the third quarter was 17.3% compared with 18.0% in the same prior-year period, primarily due to a more favorable geographic mix of earnings.

*\*Non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" for details regarding these measures, as well as the tables provided for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.*

For more information, visit <u>www.thetorocompany.com</u>.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information**

This press release and the related earnings call reference certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures included within this press release and the related earnings call that are utilized as measures of the company's operating performance consist of gross profit, gross margin, operating earnings, earnings before income taxes, net earnings, diluted EPS, and the effective tax rate, each as adjusted. The non-GAAP financial measures included within this press release and the related earnings call that are utilized as measures of the company's liquidity consist of free cash flow and free cash flow conversion percentage.

The Toro Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions and assessing liquidity because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding core operational performance and cash flows, as a measure of the company's liquidity, and provide the company with a better understanding of how to allocate resources to both ongoing and prospective business initiatives. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate the company's internal comparisons for both historical operating results and competitors' operating results by factoring out potential differences caused by charges and benefits not related to its regular, ongoing business, including, without limitation, certain non-cash, large, and/or unpredictable charges and benefits; acquisitions and dispositions; legal judgments, settlements, or other matters; and tax positions. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provide investors with useful supplemental financial information to better understand its core operational performance and cash flows.

Reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables contained in this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures included within this press release and the company's related earnings call. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

The Toro Company does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of the company's projected range for adjusted diluted EPS for fiscal 2025 to diluted EPS, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The company's adjusted diluted EPS guidance for fiscal 2025 excludes certain items that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, including certain non-cash, large and/or unpredictable charges and benefits; acquisitions and

------

dispositions; legal judgments, settlements, or other matters; and tax positions. Due to the uncertainty of the amount or timing of these future excluded items, management does not forecast them for internal use and therefore cannot create a quantitative adjusted diluted EPS for fiscal 2025 to diluted EPS reconciliation without unreasonable efforts. A quantitative reconciliation of adjusted diluted EPS for fiscal 2025 to diluted EPS would imply a degree of precision and certainty as to these future items that does not exist and could be confusing to investors. From a qualitative perspective, it is anticipated that the differences between adjusted diluted EPS for fiscal 2025 to diluted EPS will consist of items similar to those described in the financial tables later in this release, including, for example and without limitation, certain non-cash, large, and/or unpredictable charges and benefits; acquisitions and dispositions; legal judgments, settlements, or other matters; and tax positions. The timing and amount of any of these excluded items could significantly impact the company's diluted EPS for a particular period.

<sup>1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the company launched the "Amplifying Maximum Productivity" or AMP initiative. The company considered the nature, frequency, and scale of this initiative compared to prior productivity initiatives when determining that the expenses associated with AMP, unlike prior productivity initiatives, are not common, normal, recurring operating expenses and are not representative of the company's ongoing business operations. Productivity initiative charges for the three and nine month periods ended August 1, 2025 and August 2, 2024 primarily represent severance and termination benefits, facility exit costs, compensation for fully-dedicated AMP personnel, third-party consulting costs, and product-line exit costs.

<sup>2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the company recorded a non-cash impairment charge within Other activities related to the Spartan Trade Name.

<sup>3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The accounting standards codification guidance governing employee stock-based compensation requires that any excess or deficient tax deduction for stock-based compensation be immediately recorded within income tax expense. Employee stock-based compensation activity, including the exercise of stock options, can be unpredictable and can significantly impact our net earnings, net earnings per diluted share, and effective tax rate. These amounts represent the discrete tax benefits recorded as excess tax deductions for stock-based compensation during the three and nine month periods ended August 1, 2025 and August 2, 2024.

**Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Liquidity Measures**

The company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment, net of proceeds from insurance claim. Free cash flow conversion percentage represents free cash flow as a percentage of net earnings, excluding the non-cash impairment charge. The company considers free cash flow and free cash flow conversion percentage to be non-GAAP liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the company's ability to convert net earnings into cash resources that can be used to pursue opportunities to enhance shareholder value, fund ongoing and prospective business initiatives, and strengthen the company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, after reinvesting in necessary capital expenditures required to maintain and grow the company's business. The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP free cash flow and free cash flow conversion percentage to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the nine month periods ended August 1, 2025 and August 2, 2024:
