Awaiting Titan Machinery Q2 Results

Titan Machinery (NASDAQ: TITN) Fiscal Year 2015 2nd quarter ended July 31,2014. Over the last several years Titan has reported Q2 financials within the first 10 days of September. Titan has not yet announced when they will be reporting Q2  financials.

Don't Be Surprised if Titan Machinery Pre-Announces Q2  Financials in August

Investors should note that in 2013 Titan shares were halted after the close on May 23,2013 when the company uncharacteristically announced preliminary  FY2014 Q1 financials (approximately 2 weeks before they normally released Q1 numbers). In the press release and on the conference call the following morning, the company  significantly lowered expected Q1 financials and cut their year end FY2014 outlook dramatically.

FY2013 Q1 May 23,2013 Titan Machinery Press Release:

• "First quarter fiscal 2014 revenue is expected to be approximately $50 million less than the Company previously anticipated;"
•  "Preliminary loss per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 is expected to be in the range of $(0.01) to $(0.03) on approximately 20.9 million weighted average diluted common shares outstanding, compared to net income of $0.36 on approximately 21.0 million weighted average diluted common shares outstanding in the first quarter last year."
•  "believe we will see improvements in our construction segment in the second quarter and throughout the remainder of fiscal 2014."
