Chairman and chief executive officer David Meyer said, “We are pleased with our third quarter results, which underscore our ability to capitalize on favorable conditions in the Agriculture industry and improve operating results in the Construction business. In the quarter, the growth in our Agriculture business was driven by a number of factors including favorable harvest conditions and crop yields across our footprint and increased demand for our current tier-three equipment inventory. We also are encouraged by the improved performance of our Construction business, which reflects the success of our ongoing Construction Business Action Plan. The strong revenue growth for both business segments enabled us to offset margin pressure for our equipment sales. Based on our financial results for the first nine months of the year and our outlook for the fourth quarter, we are raising our annual revenue and earnings per share guidance range.”
