Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2009 jumped to $6.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, during the same period last year.

David Meyer, chairman and chief executive officer of Titan Machinery, commented, during a recent conference call, “We evaluate our business on an annual basis rather than a quarterly basis. This is because our business is based on our customers’ annual production cycles. Revenue can shift from one quarter to another, depending on when our customers are buying equipment or requiring services related to weather patterns. Our first half performance is a testament to our strong operating model and growth objectives, and we are confident in our ability to continue this success.”
