Titan Reports Strong Q4 and 2022 Earnings

Titan International, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of off-highway wheels, tires, assemblies, and undercarriage products, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Net sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, were $509.8 million, compared to $487.7 million in the comparable quarter of 2021, an increase of 4.5 percent driven by sales increases across the Agriculture and Earthmoving / Construction (EMC) segments. Overall net sales were influenced by both increased volume from higher demand in the EMC segment, along with price increases across all segments. The contributing factors to the increase in demand in the EMC segment were recovery in construction markets, including the return to normalized supply and demand levels in the market. Price increases have been implemented due to rising raw material costs and other inflationary impacts in the markets, including freight and energy.

Agricultural Segment

During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, net sales in the Agricultural segment increased 4 percent due to pricing, which was implemented to offset increased raw material and other cost inflation, while volume was down slightly as customers returned to more normalized seasonal order patterns.  The slight increase in gross profit was due to higher pricing levels, which were almost entirely offset by higher input costs, resulting in profit margin declining slightly year-over-year.
